2010-01-29 19:19:00    Billy makes some good points. I would add that what the NTSB gets and what they do with it are different things. For example, I've been told that NTSB will not investigate a GA accident unless there is a fatality, and experiences of acquaintances of mine seem to confirm that.

Also, a rash of reports in the Moriarty area might be advantageous. The Navy moved a TACAN approach in Texas to avoid glider ops.

I’m sure there will be some growing pains as the reality of all that paperwork sorts it’s self out. The other side of that coin is I would rather see TCAS equipped jets filling out paper work because more sailplanes are equipped and thus are making their location known to both ATC and TCAS equipped aircraft than a close call because a glider is not transponder equipped.

Interesting! Could you send this pdf to the ASC board, also copy our SSA State Governor (Sir Howard Banks) and also cc me at rrozzoni@aol.com? We all need to be up-to-date on this revised requirement!
Thanks for providing this info!

2010-01-29 06:11:37    The NTSB has revised Section 830.5 regarding incidents that must be reported immediately, effective March 8, 2010. It's worth a read just to be familiar.

One new requirement is to report resolution advisories. I hope this doesn't lead to a rash of reports of airliner vs. glider conflicts, and all the bad things that will accompany it.

I have a pdf of the rule if anyone wants it.
