KR> How do you test a transponder?

2014-06-03 Thread via KRnet
Reminds me of something I did on my plane. As an electronics designer, this would be too embarassing to tell this story, but hopefully it will save someone else from doing the same thing. When I bought my M2 I knew that it needed a transponder test before I could operate mode C legally. Wanting

I agree with everyone that said wait until you are about 2 days away from your install date. Regs and equipment capability are changing all the time. But I had a need to check the transponder and encoder output in my old airplane where I had an intermittent issue that the shops could not fin

This is just going to be a simple, VFR plane. The only reason I'm having a transponder at all is that in NYC I live under probably the largest Class B in the country (the three major NYC-area airports overlap one another) and it's almost impossible to avoid the mode-C veil, so I either have to fly

My Skyview has ADSB in/out and a Mode S transponder. This combination gives you weather and traffic. My thinking on this, is that when the ADSB module takes on the function of transmitting your altitude, then this may happen. Has anyone heard anything about Mode S and future transponder capab

>From : http://www.trig-avionics.com/adsb.html "What equipment do I need? To support ADS-B "Out", the aircraft must have a GPS receiver as the position source, and a datalink transmitter to actually send the ADS-B data. The datalink transmitter that most aircraft will use is a Mode S transponder

Avionics shops do this on the bench, and often have cheap salvaged parts to repair/refresh. As with most transmitters, dont operate it without a load (antenna). Peter but howwould you actually test a transponder (or any used instrument, really),without having a flying airplane to put it in?

2014-06-03 Thread via KRnet
Yes, but that is the required test to assure that your transponder is sending the altitude that is being reported by your Altitude indicator in your aircraft. If you are buying a transponder, and do not have an aircraft to use it in, I strongly suggest that you wait until you are ready to ins

- Original Message - From: "Mike > how would you actually test a transponder Mike, Check with your local FBO or A&P and ask them who in your area tests and calibrates transponders. In my area there is a guy who travels from airport to airport and performs this service for a fee of $75.
