A friend had a run-in with the local FSDO recently. Apparently the FSDO inspector claimed my friend needed a ferry permit to fly in class E airspace with a non-current transponder turned off. At no time would the flight to the avionics shop to get the transponder inspected fly in or even near Class A, B, or C airspace. He claimed if a transponder was installed it had to be turned on in controlled airspace (true, unless it was non-current--my thoughts). He further stated, the same reg precluded him flying with it off in any controlled airspace since it had to be on, hence the need for a ferry permit.
