Transponder for Savannah

[JerzyGeorge]

Any opinion and recommendations , I am thinking about Trig 21 but it is a bit expensive I fly close to CTA quite often and think would be usefull and also traffic avoidance system in other aircrafts will pick me up.

woulndt going for a Mode C transponder cheaper? like http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/av/transponders_0browse/microairt2000.php

A mode c might be ok but would have some restrictions.

 

"If fitting a new transponder Post 6 February 14 a mode S transponder is required unless the aircraft is restricted to operations Below A100 in Class G and Class D. In such areas a mode C transponder is acceptable."

 

http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/projects/ads-b/mode-s-transponders-ads-b-and-vfr-aircraft/

 

What this means is that you couldn't go into Class E airspace of which there is quite a lot.

Then just buy the cheapest mode s get it done if your not looking into integrating it to your efis, then you need special equipment.

But class E is not anywhere below 8500 ft if I recall ( and in a lot of places is into the flight levels) so if you don't ever go that high.
