And maybe to wave something in front of the NTSB and the Examiner.

It appears that this new FAA document pertains to the installation
and maintenance of transponders and other equipment mostly covered by
earlier advisory circulars. I don't think it adds anything new and
appears to be mostly boiler plate stuff. If in any way it addresses
the problem with the glider/Hawker midair I am missing something. If
anyone sees this differently from me please educate me. I do have
serious concerns about glider/other aircraft midair collisions and
have transponders on all my flying machines including my ultralight
SparrowHawk which is not considered to be an aircraft by the FAA,
However I repeat that I fail to see how this new FAA communication
adds anything new.

It doesn't, other than the FAA is currently in the loop.
