John,
I honestly never thought about it and couldn't answer her question. Does anyone know? Heard twice within the last two months on ATC: N12345, your transponder is indicating FL240, say altitude. N12345, altitude 3000 feet N12345, in that case, please turn off your transponder and have it repaired or words to that effect. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Irrelavant. The radar computer has software that will not show any target within the user specified distance from the radar antenna. We set ours to 1 mile. There are also altitude filters that can be set. There is no good reason to ever turn your transponder off or to STBY unless ATC asks you to or you somehow know it's not working properly. There's still another problem called FRUIT (False Replies Unsynchronised in Time). The radar bean has a width of about 3 degrees. All the transponders in this small area respond with their code as soon as the radar beam hits them. A major installation can handle up to ten codes simultaneously. But if on a nice Sunday several hundred VFR air planes are about the situation has arisen where the targets could no longer be properly separated, with the result that the important echoes of commercial traffic disappeared in the maze. The controller can erase the VFR echoes, but when the radar con not read them anymore the legibility of the remaining echoes is not improved. Actually, this is one of the reasons why mode S is introduced. Stefan |

Why wouldn't they simply ask to stop squawking altitude (switch to Mode A)? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
