ADSB out in tow planes

Did you not read my post? I said I sent a 337 in per the FAA’s guidance. I disagree with you that it was a “notification� 337. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I read your post, very carefully, and its not clear what you have done. Did you send a 337 to Oklahoma or the FSDO? Did you treat the installation was a major modification, and if so would you mind explaining why? Did you get the FSDO to approve Block 3 before sending it to Oklahoma? Did Oklahoma send you back the 337 with Block 3 approved? I appreciate your help here explaining exactly what you did, I suspect we may be talking at crossed purposes.

I again want to reiterate that ADS-B Out installations in gliders (I know you did a towplane) should normally be minor modifications, and therefore do not need major modification approval, but do require a "notification only" 337 filed with FAA HQ.

I followed FAA guidance and installed a Stratus transponder with its associated GPS antenna in accordance with the STC. The STC only has a few models in it not including the Pawnee. I filled out the 337 per FAA guidance and sent it off to OK City. It wasn’t a field approval but was a Major Alteration so no need to send it to the local FSDO. Again per FAA guidance. I don’t expect to get the 337 back. I expect it to just be filed with the aircrafts records as usual.

To reiterate there is no such thing as a “notification� 337..

I haven’t been asked to or researched putting an ADS-B out transponder into a glider so I can’t really speak to that. When I install the PowerFLARM brick into my glider in the fall I’ll get the ADSB out option and do the appropriate research/ paperwork.
