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



 
 
 
The A320 pilot's version:
 
 
Every UL and Light Sport Pilot in the country should read those two versionsof the same event and note the tone of the two different write ups.  Thetrikers don't specify as to whether they were at 3500' MSL or AGL.  (Istrongly suspect AGL.  The A320 writeup is pretty specific.)  Guys, this is serious stuff.  I see on the lists all the time people trying to figure outways to lawyer themselves around "unreasonable" rules and requirements thatwe would rather not have.  It's crap like this that got ULs banned in some counties from landing at public airports at all.  If we don't want ever more onerous rules placed upon us, we have to impress upon our peers that this crap needs to stop.  People need to know how to read a sectional and read a book and figure out how to share our airspace correctly or we will find ourselves saddled with even more rules and requirements.  How would anyone like the rule to come down that everything that flies that weighs more than 254# has to have a transponder?  I wouldn't.  Well guess what.... it's stuff like this that leads to that.
