12.6 SV-XPNDR-261 Post Installation Checks
Post installation checks should be carried out in accordance with your certification

If an SV-XPNDR-261 is newly-installed (has never flown), aviation authorities
typically require that, prior to first flight, a newly-installed transponder be
tested for proper operation (and pass).
Aviation authorities also typically require that a transponder be re-tested after
any significant maintenance involving the transponder system (including the
antenna), and also tested periodically (even if no maintenance has occurred).
For US pilots, transponders must be tested every twenty-four (24) months –
reference FAR 91.413 (other sections, other regulations may apply).
It is the pilot’s / aircraft owner’s responsibility to ensure that the transponder
has been initially, and periodically, tested per (and met) the requirements of
your country’s aviation authority.
