Someone on this forum said they got a clear test of their Navworx unit so I did the PAPR test on mine.

Had to go in and turn off the anonymous mode in VFR mode so they could see my ID.

After the flight I pulled up the FAA test site and just entered the required data and within 15 minutes they had sent me the results. I have printed them out and will keep them with my aircraft documentation,

Now I am curious as to why the FAA has issues with Navworx when they give the unit a passing grade???

Now I am wondering if someday, when they privatize and institute user fees, will ADS-B inputs allow them to know when to charge us for usage?

I have, in my files, (2) "clean" reports from the FAA on my NAVWORX unit in my RV-6A ---- and I really like the awareness provided by the traffic and weather on my 740s.  I continue to wait for the FAA decision on the unit.

In response to your last comment/question --- there will be aircraft, in the future, flying without ADS-B, just as many do not currently fly with Mode "C", or "A" --- because they fly in airspace where those units are not required.  So, not sure how the FAA would go about "charging" for services..

Aircraft that fly where transponders aren't required wouldn't be using any air traffic facilities so wouldn't be charged anyway.
