Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group FCC Bans 121.5 ELTs

  Passing the cost along to the taxpayer hardly seems the right solution to the 121.5 vs 406.1 issue.  Sure, it's not entirely reasonable, but at least it's better than the new ADS-B mandate.  The new ELT's are more likely to save your life than the current/old ones, so there's a (potential) direct benefit.  ADS-B amounts to little more than an enormous new tax for the small aircraft owner, with essentially zero benefit in return.  Not that I agree that the mandate to eliminate 121.5 ELT's with no notice is a good thing, just that it's less bad than the ADS-B deal.

If the FCC mandates this then they should make provision whereby the 121.5 units could be traded in for 406/406.1  ( let's wait until they can decide which frequency they want to use! ) ELT's and they pickup the difference in cost!
