When flying at high altitudes (as I almost always do) it becomes even more important to have a Mode c transponder. Once you have the transponder your size is not that important. Up at those altitudes and speeds the big planes you worry about all have TCAS and are talking to controllers and I suspect that they really don't do a lot of looking for traffic out the window anyway so does not really matter how big a plane you are flying.
I think you have a lot of guts flying at the lower altitudes. When I am over 10,000' I can almost always glide to an airport or choose between several. At 3,500' you are looking for the best looking road and hoping there are not power lines you can't see. > ----- Original Message ----- > Hello All, > On that note it seems that some of you are flying at altitudes that > some of the bigger boys fly at.
