Withdrawal of Notice No. 15-05 does not preclude the FAA from issuing another notice on the subject matter in the future or committing the agency to any future course of action. The agency will make any necessary changes to the regulations through a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with the opportunity for public comment. Although the FAA has determined that a regulatory course of action is not warranted at this time, the FAA will continue to work with local glider communities, encourage the voluntary equipage of transponders in gliders and encourage the use of TABS. The FAA continues to recommend that all glider aircraft owners equip their gliders with a transponder meeting the requirements of § 91.215(a), a rule-compliant ADS-B Out system, or a TABS device. In consideration of the above factors, the FAA withdraws Notice No.. 15-05, published in 80 FR 34346, on June 16, 2015. |

Transponder ANPRM Withdrawal
One thing that is frustrating is that we might get more installation of TABS devices if there were regulations or a program that allowed their easy installation in *certified* gliders. Especially if its a ~$1k upgrade for folks installing a Mode-S transponder. I'd hope that area is something the FAA actually does work on.
