Essential Settings Prior to First Flight
There are a number of device settings that must be configured prior
to the use of the device. These are aircraft-specific settings, that can
be found in the configuration file. The values chosen depend upon
the aircraft and must be altered before the device is used in another
aircraft.
These settings are mandatory for correct operation of
the device.
Selection of Aircraft Type
This setting is required to specify the type of aircraft in which your
device will be used.
Transponder
Select whether your aircraft has an operating transponder (any
Mode) installed and switched ON, or not.
ICAO Address
Enter the hexadecimal ICAO address of your aircraft. This address
is also known as Mode S Code. It is worldwide unique for each air-
craft and issued by your Civil Aviation Authority (regardless of
whether you have a Mode S transponder installed or not). In case
you have a Mode S transponder installed, this is also the address
transmitted by the transponder.
The ICAO address can be found in the aircraft documents or online:
• http://www.faa.gov/
(US; see ‘N-Number Inquiry’, use
Mode S Code (base 16/hex); addresses start with A0..A9
or AA..AF)
• http://www.bazl.admin.ch/experten/luftfahrzeuge/luftfah
rzeugregister/ (Switzerland; use Aircraft Address hex;
addresses start with 4B)
