Transponder Operation
6-4 SkyView SE Pilot’s User Guide - Revision I
FLIGHT ID
If enabled, FLIGHT ID allows you to enter an ADS-B Flight ID (i.e., aircraft name). If FLIGHT ID is
enabled, but no value is entered, SkyView will report the aircraft's tail number by default.
(Refer to the Installation Guide to enable the FLIGHT ID function.)
ALT
Press to set the transponder to respond to all interrogations with altitude reporting. When
active, the ALT button will remain highlighted in this menu, and ALT is annunciated in the
transponder status area in the Top Bar. When the transponder is on in this mode, pressing ALT
again will turn put the transponder in standby mode.
CODE
Press to type in a squawk code. If you make a mistake while typing a squawk code, stop typing
and after a few seconds the CODE menu will exit automatically without changing the squawk
code. Codes that are standardized include:
VFR
Press to quickly tune the VFR squawk code. This is usually 1200 in the US and 7000 in Europe.
Refer to the Installation Guide to set the VFR code that this button tunes. Once pressed, the
VFR button will remain highlighted until the transponder code is changed to show that you are
in VFR mode. Press the button while VFR is highlighted to return the transponder to the last
code tuned.
IDENT
Press to ident when requested to “ident” by ATC. “IDT” will be displayed in the Transponder
Status Area for the next 18 seconds as the transponder sends the ident signal. Note that if a
button is pressed to change the transponder mode or to turn it off, that action will be delayed
until the ident transmission completes.
