Nearly all aircraft are fitted with a piece of equipment called a transponder. An aircraft’s transponder (short for ‘ transmitter-responder ’) is an electronic device on an aircraft that transmits a four-digit code (commonly referred to as a ‘ squawk code ’) which allows the aircraft to be identified by ATC.

If you’re going into Class B airspace, the ADS-B Out has to be working; if staying outside the 30-mile veil, it doesn’texcept for FAR 91.215(c) , which says if your transponder equipment is operable, it has to be on. However, if your transponder’s certification has expired, you can’t operate the system.
