I was sitting at the end of the runway waiting to do a test flight in a customer's aircraft. He had a MFD hooked up to a Garmin 530 and TCAS. There were several airplanes in the pattern, the MFD was giving me their "N" number, squawk code and altitude. A T37 in the pattern only gave out his altitude and squawk code. Probably TIS rather than TCAS. |

Probably TIS rather than TCAS. The Garmin TIS behind which I fly does not display an N number, either on the GNS430 or the MX20. The only number near the target is the relative altitude of the target in relation to my aircraft. -- Peter |

A NASA form was intended to collect information about the national airspace
system Accordingly, for being so generous and providing information you get a pass as I understand it. |

I don't think they do directly report the N number, but doesn't the installer-coded Mode S octal code get downllinked to ATC whenever a mode-s enabled ground interrogator paints it, regardless of the unit's user-selectable "flight id" or 4096 code setting, thus effectively downlinking the N number because of a trivial database lookup? |

I was not on the radio and chose not to call approach. OK, I did that as a student pilot. What they do is men in dark suits come to your door on a dark, foggy night, beat the snot out of you, and disappear. Seriously, nothing happened. You will suffer some temporary embarrassment. |

Well, I have only had the unit since July, so I suppose it is possible that I have yet to look at the screen at the moment a mode S transponder passed by. But, the chances should have been pretty good that during the last eight times through NY class B airspace I would have seen one mode S return, no? -- Peter |
