Mode S Data Transmission
In additlon ro 4096 code and pressure altitude, the GTX 330 is capable of transmittrng arr-
craft ldentification, transponder capability and maximum speed range. "Aircraft Identificatlon"
is commonly referred to as FLT lD (Flight ldentification). The GTX 330 may be configured
by the installer to a1low rhe flight clew to entel FLT lD for each flight. An example is when
arr-carrier service requires changing the FLT ID.
The FLT ID may consist of the aircraft registratlon or a flight number as agreed upon with
the local alration authorlty. In elther case, the FtT ID must be the same aircraft ldentification
that appears in the flighi plan to correlate the aircraft identification seen on ATC radar wlth the
correct voice call sign for the aircraft. If no flight plan is filed with the alratlon authority (as
may be permitted by regulations), the FLT ID entered is the aircraft registration marking.
When flight crew entry of the FLT ID is not requlred, the installer configures the syslem
to report the aircraft identification accordrng to 1oca1 aviatlon requirements. In thls configura-
tion, alteratron of the FLT ID by the flight crew is not posslble.

properly correlated wrth the associated call sign for voice communication with the aircraft.
If the FLT ID PWR-UP ENTRY is required but does nor appear ar power up, conracr a

When FLT ID entry is complete the transponder begins normal operarion.
If you make an error entering a FLT ID, you can press the CLR key to back up to any
point, including highlighting the "OK?'' fre1d. If an incorrect FLI ID is discovered after the
unit begins operation, turn the GTX 330 off. Then turn it back on again and reenter the cor-
rCCI FLI ID.
