/snip/ yep the Hawker 800 had full TCAS II, glider had its transponder
(recently installed but not yet tested/signed off) turned off..../snip/


So...Â* Had the glider simply turned on the transponder, the collision
likely would not have happened?Â* Sounds a lot like being "dead right".Â*
What harm could have come from turning on the transponder before it was
signed off?
