Final Approach
Yesterday, I flew the Cub into a Class "D" airport (again). Other than "Hi Glenn" from one of the controllers nothing but normal Class "D" chatter going in and going out.
After flying back home, the resident old guys were holding court, and I was asked where I had been and I old them.
IMMEDIATELY, one of the CFIs started jumping up and down saying that you can't take a non-electrical plane into a Class "D" airport without prior permission. Another CFI called BS on that and said that non-electrical planes were exempted, and could also fly under the Class "C" veil, which started another argument. Seriously, I thought to of the guys were going to start throwing punches it got so heated. I wandered in and grabbed the FAR\AIM, which only made the matter worse.
A search of the interweb is even more confusing.
So, before Western Civilization crumbles under the onslaught of this discussion, Arenon-electrical equipped planes exempt from the ADSB rule?
