Transponders in Oz

In a nutshell,
it proposes to mandate universal fitting of ADSB and Mode S transponders to
all aircraft for use in all classifications of airspace. This is completely
unacceptable to sport aviation generally and gliding particularly. The Gliding
Federation of Australia will be submitting a response which will express similar
views to those of Australian Sport Aviation Confederation. It is important that as many responses as possible are submitted expressing
concerns about the proposal and at the very least expressing strong support for
the Australian Sport Aviation Confederation submission. Submissions can be made easily by individuals and club representatives via CASA
website "Response
to Regulatory Change Proposal". Detailed individual responses would be preferred but a response which just
expresses dissatisfaction with CASA's consultation and then notes for each item
that changes would make it acceptable, with a final comment supporting the
Australian Sport Aviation Confederation paper will at least get the message
across. It would greatly assist our position if each organisation can ensure a response
on their behalf before 30 November and encourage all individual members to do
the same. Apologies for the short notice.
