Mode S transponder display to ATC?

Peter,

Doesn't the system process the flightid field?

Some do. In Europe, more and more do.

Or isn't that
transmitted?

It certainly is.

Not in the U.S.

Sam,

Not in the U.S.


Source? A source that shows a Garmin GTX330 does not transmit flight ID
data in the US would suffice.

If a tree falls in the woods, but nobody is there to hear it, does it make a
sound?

Good way to put it.

Plus, in the high end gear, the Mode S message data can be implemented
in stages.

Some of the ModeS features will never be implemented and the ModeS Extended
Squitter will mainly be used by the airlines. For GA, I don't think you're
going to see much in the way of new ModeS features as the ADS-B UATs will be
the preferred new technology path for data link.

AIUI, most of the rest of the world (those bits that are planning
ADS-B) are looking to do it that way.

1090ES is one of two US ADS-B standards; the other is a standalone
transmitter. I was unaware the GTX330 would do 1090ES. If it does, I'm going
to be very happy indeed, as I'd been thinking the extra $2500 or so I spent
on mine was going to be largely wasted. The common wisdom here is that
1090ES is going to be mostly used by the big iron.

Both (1090 and UAT).

The capstone project in Alaska implemented it with UATs and I'm pretty sure
that's the way it's currently being implemented on the east coast working
its way west. As far as extended squitter goes, I know at one time that was
the plan for the airlines because they had already made a large capital
investment in it. I'm not really sure what progress has been made on that
front.

I suspect it transmits some form of the Mode S message, but no one is
listening in the U.S.

My friend's Falcon 900 transmits all the Mode S stuff presently required
by the most stringent requirements in your part of the world.
Eventually, it can transmit heading, IAS, and other types of snitch
data. I don't believe the OEM turns on that stuff in his Falcon 900
until the storm troopers order it turned on.
