Since the answer has been provided, I'll ask another question -
Whaddya get?? View attachment 85547
Who's installing it? Self install under IA supervision? Do you have a shop on your field who can do the 91.413? Mobile shop who can come to you? Or are you in uncontrolled airspace and you can fly (with your transponder powered off) to a shop that can certify it?
I thought the same thing. Check your logbook. It might have already been done as part as the installation.I cant believe a shop would sell you and install a new device without all the required checks and logbook entries. I would call them on it.
Nobody has suggested otherwise.Note that transponder swaps, EVEN if it's just a slide-in replacement, is not a LEGAL owner-performed task.
Curious. If applicable, do you have to do another ADS-B certification flight if you replace a transponder?
Interesting. So you don't have to recheck the performance requirement per 91.227 and as indicated in the ADS-B Memo below?
After I installed my transponder, I called the TRACON (I am inside the 30nm ring of death) and the tower at the Class C where I was going to get it tested. No problem with either. TRACON made it clear that I needed to stay out of the Bravo and not cross into Canadian airspace, and don't fly in the Canadian airspace, and stay out of the Canadian airspace, and be real sure not to cross the border. Seriously.i am in controlled environment, i guess i can ask for a takeoff without transponder if i needed to..
(I am inside the 30nm ring of death)
My shop used (h)(2). No certification flight here..

My bad. Wrong wording. Meant "performance" flight. So to clarify, if replacing a xspndr or ADS-B the shop will usually use a ramp tester for the ADS-B 91.227 performance check? What if I were to replace a Skybeacon, could I still comply with a performance check flight as I do not have any ramp test equipment?You said "re certification flight"
I think the FAA officially calls it the "Mode C veil", but... RoD sounds better.There's another Ring of Death besides the DC SFRA?

The interesting part of the question is that there is plenty of guidance on the initial install of an ADS-B system, but "none" on if you replace a separate ADS-B OUT item like a Skybeacon. For example, once a Skybeacon is installed initially the alteration is signed off by an IA. If the beacon breaks afterwards it falls under Part 43 maintenance as a parts replacement where an AP can perform it. While my original question was wrong, since part 91.227 is a "performance" requirement one would think the AP would have to note the replacement beacon conformed. Hence the refined question.Interesting Q.
