Because you don't wish to operate it in any airspace that would require you
to have them.

Wrong again, Stevie boy. The airport where I'm based is under Tampa's
mode C veil therefore all aircraft (besides mine ) must be squawking
1200 the instant their wheels leave the ground. Now why do you s'pose
that is?

That may be what he's thinking, but that's not the answer. It really is
because he does not wish to operate it in any airspace that would require
him to have them.

Not wrong at all, it really is because you don't wish to operate it in any
airspace that would require you to have them. How could it be any other
way?

It isn't. Aircraft assigned a discrete code don't have to squawk 1200, and
any aircraft which was not originally certificated with an engine-driven
electrical system or which has not subsequently been certified with such a
system installed, or a balloon or glider, does not even have to have a
transponder. If you were familiar with the FARs you would have known that.

How the hell do YOU know how I wish to operate MY airplane?

You're the self-anointed expert on FAR's Stevie, you tell me!

Huh? WHAT isn't?!??

Huh? Who said anything about a discrete code?

Finally! I see you've been studying 91.215 like I told you, what,
THREE days ago after you planted your foot firmly in your big
mouth trying to impress with your superficial knowledge of the
FAR's. So, how's the crow taste Stevie boy?

If you were familiar with the FARs you would have known that.

Riiiiiiiiiight Stevie. Whatever you say Stevie. You can backpedal all
you want, but you're STILL more full of **** than a brontasaurus with
no ass!

Simple logic. You've told us your airplane does not have a transponder and
encoder yet you can (and do) legally operate it in any airspace that you
wish. Since transponders and encoders are required equipment in some
airspace, it follows that you do not wish to operate your airplane in any
airspace that would require it to have them.

It can't be any other way.

Don't expect you to answer what? I'm the one that GAVE the correct answer.



Huh? WHAT isn't?!??


Try to keep up. "It isn't" is the answer to the question you asked; "The
airport where I'm based is under Tampa's mode C veil therefore all aircraft
(besides mine ) must be squawking 1200 the instant their wheels leave the
ground. Now why do you s'pose that is?"



Huh? Who said anything about a discrete code?


I did. You said all aircraft (besides yours ) must be squawking 1200, a
nondiscrete code, the instant their wheels leave the ground. That's not
correct. Any aircraft assigned a discrete code by ATC prior to departure
would not have to squawk 1200 the instant their wheels left the ground.



Finally! I see you've been studying 91.215 like I told you,


Actually, I haven't. Why would you think I had?



what, THREE days ago after you planted your foot firmly in your
big mouth trying to impress with your superficial knowledge of the
FAR's.


How did you imagine I had my foot in my mouth?



So, how's the crow taste Stevie boy?


I wouldn't know.



Riiiiiiiiiight Stevie. Whatever you say Stevie. You can backpedal all

Backpedaling? How so?
