My conclusion about AdS-B

Instead of just reading a brief overview of the reg, why don't you guys actually read the whole reg from the FAA.
Specifically,
91.215 (3)
91.225 (e)

Not just you two guys, buy many pilots just assume that all pilots fly "normal" planes, i.e. Skyhawks and Bonanzas.
Some of us fly other kinds of planes, antiques and classics without electrical systems, which are exempt from all that BS inside the Mode C veil.

I admit that I missed (e). But you could have actually said "not for aircraft certificated with no electrical system" rather than "no you don't" and avoided the argument in the first place.

This fact makes it even more obvious the mandate is not about safety.

Yes, some of us have read the gory details, so when you make a Pronouncement without any additional comment, how are we to know you're in the exempted category?

I agree that the conversion to ADS-B is primarily driven by the need to identify aircraft for the purpose of future user fees but it does have some utility beyond what a legacy transponder has to to offer.

If you think the government needs to have your ADS-B position and identification to send you a per use bill, that is an extremely inefficient money collection scheme. They will just send you a bill every year for registering your airplane. The rest of the world's governments have no problem charging user fees and they don't need no stinking ADS-B for that mundane of a purpose.
