Default Transponder check

If my last transponder check was on 9/12/07, am I good until 9/12/09
or am I good until the end of the month? The FAR states 2 "calendar
years." Thanks. This is for VFR by the way.

The FAR does NOT state that. It says 24 calendar months. You're
good
to the end of the month and it makes no difference if you don't intend
to
fly IFR.

"Intend to", or bust VFR minimums?

Sorry about that. I meant to say "calendar months." Thanks for the
info.

Sorry I was not clear....It doesn't matter if you are VFR or IFR.
You need a transponder check in all circumstances.

There are two different checks involving the transponder. The
correspondence check for IFR is significantly more costly than a
simple VFR transponder check. If all you do is fly VFR, get a VFR
check and save some money or spend more and add the IFR compliant
checks--it's your dime.
