Great stuff, let me try to cut stuff out and reply to some points. Sorry if I mangle this even further.

I think your submission is great, there are just a few things there that I see there, some of which have also come up in questions from other folks as well. And maybe this will help folks out.

I'm hoping this helps, not trying to be a pain.

Darryl. thanks and I'll use this in final tweaks to my response to the ANPRM. A month ago I did not know what TABS was so have come aways and clearly show how little I still understand about the technology or the process. I did want to put issues on the table suspecting that this is at least in part driven by politics and the soaring movement is low on the totem pole and we could be badly hurt in the review and eventual ruling. Better to make a point even if it is a bit off the mark than not have it considered. I am encouraged by conversations with our FAA contact that they are genuinely interested in giving the matter proper consideration.

I think as a last action I will post my answers to the questions in the ANPRM that might be useful to people wanting to put in a couple of hours generating a response before Monday when they close the book on comments. Cheers, John
