Loss of Mode C and Transponder Reply
Lost Mode C and Transponder reply while in Class B airspace the other
day. After landing, was looking at all of the simple obvious things, like transponder not seated in tray etc. Little voice told me to look at the antenna, too. Seems the whip broke at the base and just fell off. It is mounted on the bottom of the boot cowl just aft of the firewall on the PA22/20, and probably gets subjected to some buffeting from the propellor pressure pulses. Mounting a new one further back from the propellor might be better, but that would put it closer to the landing gear legs. Alternatively, it would have to go all the way back to mid fuselage where there is a 16x16" metal access plate for the elavator trim jackscrew. The strobe is mounted on this plate. Otherwise the fuselage is covered with fabric. Any ideas? MikeM Pacer '00Z |
