Rich, You are right it can be done and it will only cost about $ 2,000 for every aircraft that has an electrical system and does not have a transponder and encoder plus the about $ 200 every other year to have it certified. It will make no real sense to have a transponder and encoder unless they can talk to you when they want you to do something else and now you need a transceiver and with all the new traffic created by all the new people having to talk we will all have to go to 8.33 HZ spacing which means purchasing new radios which even for hand helds about $ 800 when they become available. It is much more today to get to 8.33 HZ spacing. I think most of us just want to go flying and have fun. Many of us would be happy if the Sport Pilot deal ever happens so that we can fly day VFR with no big deals and not have to spend over $ 4,000 more to have an airplane equipped with electrical system, radio, transponder and encoder plus the added cost of maintenance. It is just not right to make us all pay for something that does not need to be fixed. Do we make all small boats do the same? We have seen how a small boat can do grave harm to one of our ships. We can not cure the problem by a Orwellian system of watch birds. We fix it by stopping criminals with good law enforcement and good intelligence services that find the criminals while they are still conspirators. Let us stop destroying our country and get on with normal life before there is no good reason to live there.
