I have a question for the group, will a glider pass a annual if the glider is equipped with a Transponder that is past it’s 24 month certification?


Appendix D to Part 43

(c) Each person performing an annual or 100-hour inspection shall inspect (where applicable) the following components of the cabin and cockpit group:

(4) Instruments—for poor condition, mounting, marking, and (where practicable) improper operation.

Sec. 91.213 — Inoperative instruments and equipment.

(3) The inoperative instruments and equipment are—

(i) Removed from the aircraft, the cockpit control placarded, and the maintenance recorded in accordance with §43.9 of this chapter; or

(ii) Deactivated and placarded “Inoperative.” If deactivation of the inoperative instrument or equipment involves maintenance, it must be accomplished and recorded in accordance with part 43 of this chapter; and

OK I have energy today and did my homework, Thanks.


if the transponder is out of calibration it is not inoperative and does not have to be placarded or removed. in fact it is just required to be left off until it has been calibrated.


I believe the "calibration" is for the Mode-C altitude reporting. You
should still be able to run simple Mode-A (transponder in "On" position
squawking 1200 or whatever you use for "glider" as appropriate, not
"Alt" position) ???
