Glider near miss with Airliner (emergency climb) near Chicagoyesterday?
Good plan, Rich.* I highly recommend the Trig TT22.* It's a 1090ES
transponder and easily upgraded to ADS-B Out when/if you're ready. The price is also reasonable.

At Newark when your landing on 04 you are down low for a long time. That is due to arrivals into Teterboro, LGA and JFK. Departures from these same airports force ATC to bring arrivals in lower than anyone wants. For airline pilots we would like to be at altitude until we pull the engines to idle and not move them until the flair. STARS help in that regard and lessens ATC workload. Flying into Reno one day, I was right over Minden airport at a reasonable glider altitude. The operations/glider pilots out there and ATC have a great relationship. We need more efforts like that to midigate problems like Chicago. Military fighters climb at 300kts (except A-10’s) unless you want to show off. VR routes do allow flights down to 200ft AGL. I’ve been west of Seminole-Lake Gliderport and seen everything from B-52’s, F-16’s to C-130’s on the IR by the gliderport. When flying around Avon Park you have to watch for fighters using transiting to/from the bombing range under 5,000ft. Florida has a great number of corporate jets that fly in our airspace. It isn’t uncommon to see jets below 5K skirting the Class B around Orlando to fly into Orlando Executive. They also transit to Ocala, Tampa, and Kissemmee VFR. I’m buying a transponder for my ship just to be a little more visible in the airspace. Hope to see some of you all down here in March. Cheers, Rich ZO -- Dan, 5J |
