Pitot/Static and Transponder Requirements

Transponders are required to be inspected every 24 months.
If you have an altitude encoder interfaced with your transponder,
it must be checked with your altimeter at the same time.  Even
if you only fly VFR your transponder, encoder, altimeter, and
pitot/static system still have to be checked.  Your transponder
will be sending signals to air traffic control telling them your altitude.
If you don't have the altimeter/encoder coorelation checked your
transponder may be sending them the wrong signals.  Those signals
should be correct for the safety of everyone under ATC.
