e – Extended squitter, the ability to send
ADS-B/1090ES data. This requires an
external GPS (certified GPS units only).
Mode S transponders with 1090ES
capability can always send ADS-B data out
but may not be able to receive ADS-B data
in to receive traffic information. The actual
data out and data-in capabilities for each
model are shown out in the table above.
l – Elementary surveillance, i.e. basic
position reporting derived from SSR radar,
enhanced in the case of a Mode S
environment with higher resolution (25')
pressure altitude, unique ICAO aircraft ID
and other Mode S capabilities. Note that
this is different than 1090ES/ADS-B data-
out capabilities.
s – Surveillance Identifier (SI) code. Used
by Mode S transponders and Mode S
equipped SSR to limit interrogations to
specific transponders.
