At the considerable risk of igniting a firestorm, may I suggest that some pilots have interpreted FAR 91.215(c) "Transponder-On Operation" to require that if an aircraft is equipped with an operable/compliant transponder then the transponder must be "ON" when the aircraft is operating in "All controlled airspace". Following this interpretation, a pilot cannot legally turn "OFF" an operable transponder in-flight at will "in all controlled airspace"? Controlled airspace includes "Class E".
