I used to after first startup, but it's an unpleasant feeling to be flying
around near New York and realize that the xpndr has been on standby for the last
half hour.


Rumor has it that many a NY-based CFI would do just that to avoid getting
busted when their students crossed over into the NY class B airspace.

A pilot mentor of mine used to fly corporate into Teterboro in an MU-2 and
he told me he was always nervous on approach into TEB for fear of the GA
aircraft with the transponder turned off.
