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. FAR 91.215 (c) (c)Transponder-on operation. While in the airspace as specified in paragraph (b) of this section or in all controlled airspace, each person operating an aircraft equipped with an operable ATC transponder maintained in accordance with § 91.413 of this part shall operate the transponder, including Mode C equipment if installed, and shall reply on the appropriate code or as assigned by ATC. |

So what's your point? UH claimed that in any airspace, an installed, operative transponder had to be turned on. That's only true for the specified airspace, not all airspace. |

My interpretation is that an operative transponder needs to be turned on in Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace. You can legally turn it off in Class G, but why bother?

Once installed, why would you turn it off in flight? I didn't see this link in the thread. See: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/007288.html And ask Rick Indrebo what it takes to rebuild a glider eaten by a bizjet. Jim |
