I myself would think of going active too when I am flanking away, since my loudness will give me away anyhow. So if the AI could do it at >20 knots or something, yeah why not?
Not realistic though - you could transmit easilly enough, but remember that your passive sensor has to be able to hear the echo for it to do any good. Once you get up to 20+, the flow noise over the sphere would be so loud that you are effectively deaf. In essence, you'd be shouting to no effect.
