Avoid this situation by sitting down with your CFI and going through the logbooks to verify the aircraft is airworthy, using the acronym AAV1ATE as your guide (ADs complied with, annual inspections, VOR every 30 days, 100-hour, altimeter/pitot static system every 24 calendar months, transponder every 24 calendar months, ELT check).

I was trained and prepared to solo but did not have to take a written quiz, talk on the radio, know what a transponder was, or deal with a lot of aircraft systems knowledge. We navigated using pilotage and occasionally a VOR. Have you ever seen those power outlet plugs in an airplane cockpit that we plug our iPads into?

A transponder with altitude reporting and an approved ADS-B out transmitter are also required for all operations. With few exceptions, the transponder and ADS-B units must also be operable within 30 nautical miles of the primary airport within the Class B airspace, even when not entering the Class B airspace.

For example: Pilot: Seattle Approach, Cessna November Four Five One Romeo, Two Zero miles west of Seattle VOR, at 8,000, with Sierra, to land. For example, ATC: Fly runway heading until two miles from Kennedy VOR, then turn right, heading one zero zero. Key in the code to your transponder so that ATC knows who you are.

Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing. Flying within the SFRA, whether it is within the FRZ or not, requires all aircraft to broadcast an assigned transponder code. change the transponder to 1200) after terminating flight following or cancelling IFR. That cannot happen in the FRZ.

All aircraft inside the veil must have an operating Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out. A Mode-C transponder (automatic altitude reporting capability) inside the Mode C Veil. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). However, you will need an operating Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out.

ADFs, marker beacons, and VOR receivers, each relying on a constantly shrinking population of land-based navaids, fill these dated flight decks. Based on our needs, we added an IFR GPS, an ADS-B In and Out transponder, and most recently a simple yet full-featured autopilot to our trusty Cessna Cardinal.
