We are at the beginning of the transition to ADS-B. The procedures will
change as it's use expands, and I don't think even the FAA knows what
the detailed procedures will be 10 or 20 years from now, but no one
suggests they will the same.

When is ADS-B going to be implimented?

Do you think it will be any better for gliders from the power/size/
cost standpoint?

Perhaps the FAA /SSA can help fund/steer development of ADS-B for use
in gliders
to meet our specific limitations and concede on some points for
Gliders not using them below some agreed upon
altitude to conserve power. It could simply be desinged to turn on
automatically at the preset altitude.

Im sure we could get these things made to mil spec by some Chineese
company at a greatly reduced price.
