SLSA vs ELSA ADS-B out systems

Questions about Approved Systems -- the FAA requirements for ADS-B:

1- Can the systems out there that are specified for Experimental and LSA airplanes be installed in SLSA or are they only approved for EAB and Experimental LSA (ELSA)?

2- Is it approved to install a certified GA system in a SLSA aircraft ?

3- If you install a Certified GA system in a SLSA will it qualify for the $500 rebate?

4- If you install a Certified GA system in a EAB or ELSA aircraft will it qualify for the $500 rebate?

Re: SLSA vs ELSA ADS-B out systems

I'm 99 percent certain that the ADS-B out you install in an SLSA must be approved by the manufacturer of the airplane. I don't know, but I would think by now, most manufacturers would have an approved solution in place.

Re: SLSA vs ELSA ADS-B out systems

Thanks for the help. So, once it is installed with the manufactures approval and signed off by the DAR in a SLSA, or by the builder In an ELSA, does anyone know if a certified unit would qualify for the FAA $500 rebate?
