REFLECTOR: Reflector Digest, Vol 94, Issue 18

[Clayton Chase]

One minor note on the transponders is that it's not just in B and C
airspace, it's anywhere within 30NM of the class B airport and above any
class B and class C airspace.  The transponder 'veil' around a class B
airport does not always fall right on the airspace.

91.215(b)(2): All aircraft. In all airspace within 30 nautical miles of an
airport listed in appendix D, section 1 of this part from the surface
upward to 10,000 feet MSL

91.215(d): All aircraft in all airspace above the ceiling and within the
lateral boundaries of a Class B or Class C airspace area designated for an
airport upward to 10,000 feet MSL; and

And of course if you have an operable transponder it must be on.

91.215(c):  Transponder-on operation. While in the airspace as specified in
paragraph (b) of this section or in all controlled airspace, each person
operating an aircraft equipped with an operable ATC transponder maintained
in accordance with § 91.413 of this part shall operate the transponder,
including Mode C equipment if installed, and shall reply on the appropriate
code or as assigned by ATC.
