9.1. Setting up pilot specific data
9.1.1. Flight ID / aircraft registration
A Mode-S transponder broadcasts the flight id (company callsign for commercial aircraft or the aircraft
registration for smaller private operated aircraft).
The flight id may be changed if required. Usually the FID is the callsign of your
aircraft unless field 7 of the flight plan contains other data.
Always check
before each flight if your flight id has been set correctly.
If the transponder is operated in several aircraft with installed cradles then the
steering units (usually installed in the instrument panel) need to remain in the same aircraft . The
steering unit carries the flight id. So no changes are required, when moving the central unit to another
aircraft.
Follow these steps to set the flight id / aircraft registration:
•
Set the unit to standby (SBY) mode
•
Press the on/off key and hold it. Press the mode key within 3 seconds.
•
The current flight id will be shown on the screen now.
•
To modify the flight id, press the inner knob of the double shaft rotary encoder. The underlined
first digit of the flight id indicates the edit mode.
•
Use the outer knob of the rotary encoder to select the position to be modified. Use the inner
knob of the rotary encoder to modify the selected value. Do not enter dashes or blanks even
when used in your aircraft registration or company callsign. The data must be entered left
aligned.
•
To finish editing the flight id press the inner knob of the rotary encoder.
•
Exit the flight id page by pressing the mode key.
