It's got to be tough running an aerial touring company with a

The NBAA has informed ANN that the FAA's New York TRACON has
published a Letter to Airmen (LTA) 04-01, entitled "Climb and
Descent Performance and Transponder Usage." Recently, there have
been several incidents where less-than-standard separation between
aircraft occurred as a result of an aircraft's non-standard
climb/descent rate performance, non-activation of transponder
equipment or incorrect beacon code selected on departure.
