In the Garming GTX330 Transponder how do you disable the FLT ID PWR-UP ENTRY
at start up ?

I have a standard aircraft reg. number and will never need this feature.

Thanks in advance


I don't know what a standard aircraft registration number is, but that's not
surprising - I don't know a lot of things!

Anyway, you can look in Section 5 of the Installation manual and see how to
change whether the flight id is entered automatically or must be entered by
the pilot at power up. I couldn't see a way to disable the whole function.

Here's a link for a previous version of the manual:

Thanks for this reference. Looking in section 5.2.12 on page 5-6 it
appears there's a configuration option to enter the flight ID at startup
or only in configuration mode. The Flight ID (registration number) is
needed for the Mode S, but it looks like it can be just a one-time
configuration entry.
