Non-discrete transponder codes for gliders
Rumor has (had), it that the Feds were about to authorize a nation wide non-discrete transponder code for gliders which was to be 0000 in lieu of the current VFR squawk of 1200. Does anyone know anything about this or is this just another pipe dream? Zulu

Sounds like NTSB recommendation A-08-12 that they sent to the FAA in this letter: http://www.ntsb.gov/Recs/letters/2008/A08_10_13.pdf The NTSB sent another letter at the same time to SSA: http://www.ntsb.gov/Recs/letters/2008/A08_14_15.pdf Likely the FAA will issue a notice of proposed rule making if it decides to ever follow up on A-08-12. Don't know how the coming ADS-B regs change the playfield with respect to gliders.

Don't know how the coming ADS-B regs change the playfield with respect to gliders. If done, it will be as a 'document change' rather than formal NPRM. I don't know the current status, but if it's still moving ahead, target date is about five weeks. Frank Whiteley
