Just to be clear, what UH posted is not correct, there is no requirement
in the regs that an installed transponder always be turned on.

It is kinda stupid not to use it at all times, but this is RAS after all.

My understanding of the regs.....you have the equipment

I do not believe there are exemptions for standard vs. experimental.
Basically, "you got it, you use it".


I think the AIM differs from the FAR's on that point.Â* Common sense
dictates that you just keep it on.
