VFR Transponder certs

[pmanton]

What certification is required to provide VFR transponder certifications, and how does one go about getting certified.

I'm not interested in doing anything other than VFR certs.

I'm an IA and do have a ramp tester.

What certification is required to provide VFR transponder certifications

It falls under Part 145. IA is immaterial for checks. It's still possible (?) to get a "Special Services" CRS rating for just xspndr checks but is usually location dependent. Otherwise you'll need a complete CRS with limited ratings. Best route is check with an ASI at your local FSDO. Had looked at this a number of years ago but decided didn't want to go through the hassle/process.

Here's the chart: (http://fsims.faa.gov/wdocs/8900.1/v02 air op & agency cert/chapter 11/02_011_006.htm)

How do you propose testing the blind altitude encoder?

The OP is referencing the 91.413/43 Appx F checks. Encoder test not required per references.

I'll have to get with my PMI right after the holidays. All he can do is hang up on me.

If you already have a PMI assigned to your operation then that's a plus. See if you can also talk to one of the PAIs at the FSDO about a "specialized service" CRS which was the route I was going to take.
