They have a life span of 3-5 years????
Really? Are we really fitting such rubbish in our aircraft? Do the sales people tell us these things when they sell them?
Do the authorities understand this when they make the fitting of them mandatory?
How can you know if these things are working properly when you are at Birdsville? By using the test light?
Can you get them tested or fixed at Birdsville?
If not, is the fitting and use of transponders actually practical.
