Steve, this brings us back an old question:
Can one of the required devices be swapped back and forth between aircraft?
Something like one Trig TXP with separate wiring harnesses, mounting trays and display heads in each glider. Or whatever the TABS devices end up being..
The TXP would likely require calibration every two years in each aircraft.
Does anyone make a transponder out of velcro?
Jim

The cost issue, at least to me, is more about how many other gliders not near busy airspace will get caught up in a carriage mandate.


Completely agree, says the man with lots of gliders showing up to his name on the FAA registry. All of which, when flown from my home gliderport, have the potential to get over 10,000 MSL over the field with the closest Class C airspace 15 or more miles away. And it is not particularly busy there.
