It gets you protection from being prosecuted (not sure if that's the right legal word) for your accidental clearance bust, assuming the FAA were to initiate any action. It doesn't prevent them from violating you, it simply means that if they investigate and find you at fault they can't actually take action against your certificate. In other words, you don't lose your license, but you record will (permanently or temporarily as the case may be) reflect the results of the investigation. In other words, it doesn't prevent them from finding you guilty, it just means you won't go to jail. -cwk. |

Good question about it being available to controller. As a controller, what do you know about it being displayed at your end? At my end the aircraft callsign, which can be an N-number or air carrier flight number or military callsign, is displayed only when the ARTS computer can associate it with a discrete ATC assigned squawk code. |

"Peter Clark" wrote in message ... 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? Beats the hell out of me. The only time I get a callsign displayed is when the aircraft is squawking an ATC assigned beacon code and the ARTS computer associates that code to a specified callsign. |

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 All I know is it was displaying "N" numbers, and they were accurate. The airplane has been delivered so I can't see if he had additional equipment installed that allowed that. Allen |

I was not questioning your observation. I was simply stating that I do not see it in my installation, that's all. Was the display cluttered with all that info? Were you able to quickly garner the pertinent traffic information, such as direction and relative altitude, with the N number mixed in? I do not see the value in having the N number displayed, but perhaps there is some reason for it I am missing. -- Peter |

Who does your GTX330 report your N number to? It's in the response data stream sent back to ATC from the GTX-330. However, ask any controller at any major Class B facility, and it's unlikely they're actually showing it (if their equipment even is updated to receive it). |

I do recall now that this airplane had an active datalink, it was showing thunderstorm watch boxes in my area. Perhaps the info was coming from ATC or a flight tracking vendor. The screen would update fast enough you could see the other airplane's position in the pattern and then the collision avoidance alert would go off as he got near. Allen |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote: So what's the point in sending it to ATC? There was considerable suspicion in the aviation community back in the early 90s that the FAA planned to require ATC to display the info and report violators once all aircraft were required to have mode-S transponders. That requirement kept getting postponed and seems to have finally died (for now, at least). Personally, I believe that the suspicions were correct and controllers would be doing more police work now if the FAA had its way. George Patterson If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have been looking for it. |

I know a good reason NOT to send it! :-( Chuck |
