Tip: By using the N-Number Look Up function on
locate and use the “Mode S Code (base 16 / hex)” value. Applies to U.S.
registered aircraft only.
10.1.2
Aircraft Maximum Speed
Mode S transponders can transmit their maximum airspeed characteristics
to aircraft equipped with TCAS. This information is used to identify threats
and to plan avoidance action by the TCAS equipped aircraft. The airspeeds
are grouped in ranges.
10.1.3
Aircraft Stall Speed
The default aircraft stall speed is 0. Set as appropriate for your aircraft to
allow automatic air/ground state determination. Set to 0 to lock in airborne
state, or to allow switching by the control head. See Appendix A for more
details.
10.1.4
Aircraft Length / Width
When on the ground, ADS-B transmits encoded aircraft size information
which is used by ATC to identify taxiing routes and potential conflicts. Enter
the length and width (wingspan) fields and the appropriate size codes will
be calculated for transmission.

Aircraft Registration
The Aircraft Registration can be up to an 8 alpha-numeric code that
corresponds to the tail number of the aircraft. (0-9, A-F). This value is used
by default in the ADS-
B “Callsign” field, unless a valid “Flight ID” is provided
via the control interface.
