FAA InFO on Sailplanes and Transponders
On Jun 17, 8:45*am, Frank Whiteley wrote:
http://tinyurl.com/mc2xmg 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.

FAA InFO on Sailplanes and Transponders
It appears that they are just providing a source of information for glider
pilots that would want to install a transponder.. properly. BT "Frank Whiteley" wrote in message ...
