Hmm.....well maybe you missed this above from jettester Eric or he's
incorrect.....



Mode C (if you
have it) reports altitude, yet if the climb or descent rate is large
(let's say greater than 1500fpm) their equipment typically faults you
off the scope and does not report your altitude.


So, the aircraft climbing or descending at a high rate are the ones
they do NOT want to know about? This had better be wrong.

I suspect jettester's info may also be a little out of date. When did
he say he hung up his spurs?
