Providence now, and is likely going to be showing up at air carrier airports around the country soon requires the transponder on for any movement on the ground. Providence announces on ATIS that transponder use is mandatory on all taxiways and runways. If the trasnponder automatically goes to standby when the airspeed is below stall, this could be a big problem. C J Campbell wrote: ... The transponder, which automatically sets itself to ALT when your airspeed reaches 30 knots, shut itself off as we taxied off the runway. -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.
