One of our club members flies with the 1st Gen Stratus and iPad mini. It works to see the airliners descending into the local class B. It's a carry over from his powered aircraft. And if he's close enough for the airliner to be an issue, he's within the hockey puck airspace to piggyback on the TIS-B data being broadcast to the airliner. So the airliner sees the glider 1202 code. BillT Bill, unfortunately, no airliner can see any code of a transponder. Airliner TCAS only shows two different symbols. A solid white diamond or a hollow white diamond identification on its TCAS when there is no threat. The solid white diamond display identifies that it has an altitude encoder with its transponder, the hollow white diamond just says there is a transponder out there with no altitude encoder or the encoder function is not operating. The solid white diamond will give altitude above or below the airliner. The Airliner TCAS will react to a solid white diamond(ie a transponder with altitude encoder) The white diamond will change to blue if it is being interrogated on a transponder code other then VFR. The diamond will change to yellow or red if the TCAS believes it will be in the projected path of the airliner. It will not show that it is a 1202 glider! Doug |
