Class D / Class C precedence

In article ,
says...


If Class C overlaps Class D (see Portland Troutdale airport), which
airspace takes precedence?

You must, at all costs, avoid the spot where they overlap.
The superimposition of thes two types of air produces standing lenticular
clouds, which can produce very dangerous turbulence.

I don't know if anyone else caught that, but it was very funny. Thanks!

Slightly OT I know but can someone advise me (since we are talking
airspace) - are transponders mandatory to carry and use in Class E airspace
in the US?
cheers

No.

Transponders are required for all registered aircraft, if they were manufactured
with an electrical system.

They are??? Is this a 'new' rule, like aircraft (with electrical)
manufactured after a certain year?

My Ercoupe (now sold) didn't have a transponder. I could, and did, fly it in
any airspace except B (and A :-) ).

Not legally. You can't fly above 10,000 feet in controlled airspace
(admittedly a stretch in the 'coupe) nor in class C or within 30 miles
of the class B airports.

Unless under the Mode C veil of a Class B airport... i.e. if in Class E, G,
C, or D, but within 30 nm of a Class B Airport such as SEA, a transponder is
required unless you call the controlling authority (usually by phone) ahead
of time to make arrangements.
