The press release is poorly worded. I believe this is the NTSB Safety Recommendation Letter dated March 31, 2008: Gee, thanks. I was aware of this. I was trying to point out that this has nothing to do with vintage planes without an engine driven electrical system. You dont normaly see a champ flying wave at 16000 MSL. The manor in which sailplanes are flown is what makes this an issue.

While the NTSB Safety Recommendation Letter dated March 31, 2008 seems to be a request for the FAA to remove the glider exemption from the regulation(s) regarding mandatory transponder operation, it does also mention aircraft manufactured/certified without electrical systems. One wonders why the NTSB would only "close the door" half way on this issue.

Perhaps it is because the NTSB recognizes that aircraft manufactured/certified without electrical systems are not operated in the same manner as gliders and are thus not an issue.
