Can we get the content of the article here so I don't need to make an account for yet another news agency that will just spam me? 73 Mark VK5QI On Fri, Mar 17, 2023 at 7:13 AM Joe Littlehigh <littlehigh@...> wrote:

I think the key bit is: A provision of the SOAR Act calls on the FAA to create the Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC), composed of members from the aviation industry, including aviation experts and representatives from the Department of Defense. The ARC would develop and make recommendations to assist the FAA in updating, improving, and introducing new regulations the FAA uses to track and identify high-altitude balloons. The SOAR Act requires that, within two years, any high-altitude balloon traveling and positioned higher than 10,000 feet above sea level must have tracking technology that sends and emits data on the balloon’s altitude, identity, and location. The legislation also directs the FAA to coordinate and work with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICASO) to “develop equivalent standards for high-altitude balloons launched elsewhere in the world.”

Official U.S. Senate press release for the Kelly-Budd Seeing Objects at Altitude Regularly (SOAR) Act Sen. Kelly said: “At a time when our adversaries are using hostile surveillance tactics, there is no reason why our country should have to wonder whether an object in our airspace is a threat, weather balloon, or science project. Our common-sense legislation will give our military the tools needed to identify threats more quickly and efficiently, while providing more certainty to good faith operators of high-altitude balloons. I welcome Senator Budd’s partnership on this safety and national security issue.” The text of the proposed Soar Act is attached as a small PDF. |

Google will locate several online sources of the CFI. 91.215 - ATC transponder and altitude reporting equipment and use. 91.225 - Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment and use. 99.13 - Transponder-on requirements. ADS-B has been mentioned several times on GPSL since the Chinese balloon incident. ___________________________________________________________________________
