Default Feds Want to Equipe Gliders With Transponders and Radios

The issue is the veil. The shelves are high enough (6000/7000 msl) to get in and out staying
clear of class B.

Don't they also intend to require a mode C transponder inside class B "veils"?

A reading of
Remove the glider exemptions from the Federal Aviation Regulations
that pertain to transponder requirements and use.

would seem to imply that. There are a lot of people ( like me ) operating underneath class Bs


In a sailplane? Wow. Doesn't give much vertical space. How much room do you have from base
of class B to the surface? You must have to find lift pretty often...
