Glider Crash - Minden?
OK, let me rephrase the question - what is the downside of operating a
new transponder and encoder that are correctly working (properly reporting position and altitude) but are not certified?

One serious downside would be to cause a false Resolution Advisory indication on another ship's TCAS, resulting in a traffic conflict where none was likely otherwise, either with the "offending" glider or another ship.
