A system and method for on-wing test of an aircraft transponder (130) involves configuring a self-test feature to the transponder's corresponding onboard ACAS (112) to verify the on-board transponder system (114) conforms to each of a plurality of required tests of an aviation oversight authority standard for operation. Once this test is initiated, the ACAS initiates this transponder test interrogating the transponder via a low power signal (242) causing the transponder to reply (342) accordingly. The ACAS performs each required test to ensure proper transponder function and alerts a user with a failure indication (328) and stores (428) each result should the transponder fail any of the plurality of tests.
