I have flown very small planes. You turn on the transponder before you take off and turn it off again when you park.
I assume they don’t want every plane on the ground to show up in air traffic control.
You’d think they would automate that but on the other hand how would the system know you were really parked instead of just pausing on the ground to wait for another plane to pass in front of you? Or maybe pilots don’t trust automated systems?
Only if they were planning to load that nuke outside of Iran.
