The “Basic” tab contains essential configuration items.
Call Sign:
The Call Sign can be up to an 8-character
code that corresponds to the tail number of
the aircraft (0-9, A-Z) or ATC assigned call
sign. Note: For typical operations, this field
should be set to the entire aircraft registration
text. For example, U.S. registered aircraft
must include the lea
ding “N”.
ICAO Number:
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.
Maximum Aircraft Speed (knots):
Mode S transponders 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.
V
S0
(knots):
This parameter allows tailBeaconX to
automatically switch between airborne and
ground modes and should be set to the
aircraft stall speed. For rotorcraft, set to 0.
ADS-B In Capability:
Sets the ADS-B In equipment capability
reporting. This is used to indicate the current
aircraft configuration.
Tap “Update” when complete.
