7.4 Additional Required Equipment
ZPX-
A is a “remote” transponder. To fully function it requires connection to
a controlling device, often referred to as a control head in a manned
platform or Ground Control Station (GCS)
– via a flight computer – for an
unmanned platform. It is possible to provide ZPX-A a with static
configuration for autonomous operation, but capabilities such as changing
squawk code and responding to annunciations will not be possible without
an interactive control device.
For transmission of complete ADS-B data elements, and 14 CFR
§91.225 compliance, ZPX-A requires connection to a compliant
position source
– typically a GPS with TSO-C145e or equivalent.
The following table details the functions provided directly by ZPX-A.
