Transponders Needed for Class G AirspaceFor the most part, pilots flying in Class Golf airspace do not need a Mode C transponder, ADS-B Out function, or even specific communication equipment. One of the few exceptions is that a Mode C transponder and ADS-B Out are required if flying above 10,000 feet MSL.
With basic runway lights and ILS installation, an aircraft can land at an airport. This type of approach requires as a minimum a visibility of 550 meters or more and a cloud base of at least 60 meters (200 feet) or above.
