Transponders do work whilst taxiing* but TCAS warnings are inhibited below
about 800 ft, otherwise aircraft could never land. Hence the Potomac
collision.[*Provided they are switched on, of course].Simon

Subject: [Mifnet 🛰 73264] newar collision keady - do transponders work while
taxiing? Surely there's some fix for this? JKAeroMéxico plane nearly lands on
top of Delta Air Lines 737 taking offTwo planes nearly collided on the runway
in Mexico City on Monday, as an AeroMéxico regional jet coming in for landing
flew over and touched down in front of a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 jet already
beginning to take off. Delta Flight 590 was starting to roll down the runway at
Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez with 144 customers and six crew members
on board when the pilots saw another plane land directly in front of it, the
airline said in a statement. Aaron Cooper/CNN
