No Transponder
Hi
I may be shortly buying a share in an aircraft which doesn't have a transponder. In such an aircraft how likely is it that you would get clearance to transit/penetrate controlled airspace ?
I've been trawling through my air law/radio telephony books and they seem to imply that you don't need one (unless under IFR) but surely the controllers would need some way of identifying you by giving you a code to squawk ?
Any advice gratefully received.
