TRANSPONDER OPERATION
The transponder receives interrogations from surrounding aircraft and
from ATC and then transmits replies.
Ground stations can interrogate Mode S Transponders individually
using a 24-bit ICAO Mode S address, which is unique to the particular
aircraft. In addition, ground stations may interrogate the unit for its
transponder data capability and the aircraft’s Flight ID.
The transponder application is the rst screen on the left side of the
display as indicated by the application indicator. See Figure 2-5 and
the functional description below for operating instructions.
Release 2.1 or greater. An external Standby Mode switch is available.
See Chapter 4 for details on Transponder screen and operation
changes.
Squawk Code
When the Squawk Code text is tapped, the Squawk Code Edit Screen
is shown. See Figure 2-6. The current Squawk Code continues to be
transmitted until the last digit of the new Squawk Code is entered. The
edit mode is canceled by tapping the Squawk Code before the fourth
digit is entered, or after 5 seconds of inactivity, or if a Trafc Advisory
or TAWS Alert occurs.
