Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Transponders in NORDO aircraft

I think the discrepancy may be in how you are asking the question, or maybe how the question is being heard.

If they think you're asking about whether the lighting coil can be considered an engine-driven generator, then they are prepared to tell you exactly what the FSDO's letter you posted said: yes, it's an engine driven electrical system and the transponder is required.

If you asked specifically about an airplane without any wiring you'd would have been given the answer in your letter: that all the other parts are required before it can be considered a "system".

 

Glad to hear this, one more bit of mis-information put to rest.

Thanks,

Rick

 

 

 

Hi Rick,
Yes and the people I have been asking at AFS610 have been telling me otherwise (meaning pull start and my hanger mate needs to have transponder thing) and some may still tell me that I am sure if I call them but with this paper printed out, I don't think they can hold water against you don't have to have a transponder. Definitely a good thing :)
