I've been studying the new SkyView transponder installation and see the option for a Squat Switch. Has anyone used a Squat Switch to turn the TPX from ground to airborne operation?
I was thinking some kind of switch on my RV8 tail wheel. When on the ground and flexed up it would be open circuit and close as soon as off the ground and unloaded. Any ideas on how to rig and what kind of switch?
Nothing "happens." The transponder doesn't do anything different. It's just that you are no longer meeting the TSO which means you are not meeting the FAR's if a transponder is required at that phase of flight.
