No transponder, will travel!
I have a microlight to move from Romania to the UK.
I have/had two issues.
1. Covid - but this is solved.
2. No transponder.
I had assumed it would need a transponder fitting before departure, because that's the norm (indeed, with all the noise about mode S, not having one at all could be considered ridiculous). However, as I research a little more, I don't think it's mandated if I'm happy with a slightly tortuous (and low!) route. I'll need special permissions for "international" out of Romania and same into Hungary but from then on, little fields only (no CTR etc.).
So, I'm right or I've missed an elephant in the room?
Thanks, Sam.
