Feds Want to Equipe Gliders With Transponders and Radios
Feds Call for Alerts on All Air Gliders By Scott Sonner, AP Leaders of the Soaring Society of America, based in Hobbs, N.M., advocate....snip ....implementing technology already used in some parts of Europe that provides low-cost, real-time information to pilots.... I came across this technology on the web when I was researching the recent ADS-B nprm. Looks like there's already some portable/handheld ADS-B type equipment in use in Europe for the soaring community: http://www.rf-developments.com/shop/...d&productId=26 http://www.rf-developments.com/shop/...d&productId=33 All based on some SSA technology called FLARM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLARM Maybe this will be a low cost answer to spamcans being forced into the ADS-B regs.
