Default FAA Eases ADS-B STC Requirement

Thanks Ramy, a good discussion here. I am periferally talking about the FAA's penchant for adopting the 'small sky' theory, where restriction, regulation, and requirments are used under the auspices of 'its crowded and we beed safety' to virtually eliminate private flight activities for those of noderate means.

Derrick Piggot wrote a great chapter in one of his books regarding this very struggle he and the gliding clubs were having in the UK. They were and have been loosing available soaring airspace due to this very "we need to make airspace safe" strategy by government burocrates.
