8.1  ICAO Address 

The ICAO address is a 24-bit number issued to the aircraft by the 
registration authority of the aircraft. These addresses are usually written as 
a 6-digit hexadecimal number, although you may also encounter one 
written as an 8-digit octal number. The ping200XR understands the 
hexadecimal format. An octal number must be converted to hexadecimal 
format before entering.   

Tip: By using the N-Number Look Up function on 

https://www.faa.gov

, 

locate and use the “Mode S Code (base 16 / hex)” value.  Applies to U.S. 
registered aircraft only. 

8.2  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 avoiding action by the TCAS equipped aircraft. The airspeeds 
are grouped in ranges. 

8.3  Aircraft Stall Speed 

The default aircraft stall speed is 0. 

8.4  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.
