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



The ultralights are still exempt because they are ultralights.
It doesn't matter what engines the choose.  Same as gliders: no transponders required.
 
I think the reasoning is that these type of vehicles wouldn't likely be in the congested airspace anyway. And if they do operate in the mode-C they should be aware of it's existance and how to avoid it.

Hello
If the FAA wants to effectively remove the exemption they can easily do it by simply redefining the standards to an engine based definition. That would also make most ultralights even ones powered by industrial engines like B+S eligible

The triker's version:
http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/Sport_ Aircraft/ files/Near% 20miss_Trike% 20pilot.pdfThe A320 pilot's version:http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/Sport_ Aircraft/ files/Near% 20miss_First% 20Officer% 20Airbus% 20320.pdfEvery 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 isserious 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 somecounties from landing at public airports at all. If we don't want ever moreonerous rules placed upon us, we have to impress upon our peers that thiscrap needs to stop. People need to know how to read a sectional and read abook and figure out how to share our airspace correctly or we will findourselves saddled with even more rules and requirements. How would anyonelike the rule to come down that everything that flies that weighs more than254# has to have a transponder? I wouldn't. Well guess what.... it's stufflike this that leads to that.Jim
