[QUOTE="Silverstrike, post: 14053450, member: 4781"] Having the option of turning the transponder like you said off was for a few reasons Being hijacked and so telling ground control without doing it by radio or vocal means. Or if there was a power problem and so turning it off and so bringing the volts back up to a safe operating level ie* like 6 volts and turn it off and be up to 12 volts or what ever a regular jetliner has for an electrical system readout. But I agree on one thing that the transponder needs to be on it's own power source through an APU (Aux. Power Unit) totally independent from the aircraft systems itself. Keep the switch in the cockpits but never tell the pilots about it. That way it runs no matter what and no one would be the wiser of it. [/QUOTE]
