"The owners of small aircraft will have to buy the new equipment, too, if they want to fly into the larger airports. It will cost between $10,000 and $15,000 per plane."

If an earlier article is correct this is NOT true. I will have to go back and re-read it but I thought it was going to be required everywhere Mode C is required. Mode C covers a lot of turf and affects local traffic that is not using a controlled (Towered) airport.

I would not mind the new rule imposing this equipment on us if it were only required " fly into the larger airports".

As it becomes available the many other types of GPSs will have it in their systems also. Might even be an up grade. The cost will have to come down.
