List,
I just had my transponder checked last week. The whole test took all of
5 minutes and did not require removal of anything form the aircraft. I
had mentioned to the the technician ahead of time that I knew the blind
encoder from my Dynon was giving the transponder the correct altitude
(29.92 pressure altitude) and that the transponder was encoding for that
altitude, because I could read it on my ATD-300 "Traffic Watch"
collision avoidance device. All the technician did was use a device to
interogate my transponder and read its output signal. I received
official paperwork stating that "I certify that the ATC Transponder
tests and Inspections required by FAR Part 91.413 were performed and
found to comply with FAR Part 43 Appendix F." Total cost, including the
paperwork was $60. The shop was "Avionics Shop" at TWF.
