Feds Want to Equipe Gliders With Transponders and Radios
"kirk.stant" wrote in message ... Once again - This has already been tested. ATC radars do not have any trouble detecting gliders of any kind as primary targets IF THEY ARE NOT FILTERED OUT. When reflectors were added, no difference was noticed by ATC. And from personal experience in G-102s, LS-4s, and LS-6s, I have never had any problem being picked up by a terminal radar when I told them where I was. Not all ATC radars are the same. ASR displays primary targets rather well, ARSR not very well at all. Some enroute radar sites are just beacon interrogators, no primary radar at all.
