Study Notes
Transponder and ADS-B Requirements
- Operable 4096-code transponders with encoding altimeters are mandatory in Class A, Class B airspace (within 30 miles of primary airport), and Class C.
- Class B airspace requires an operable 4096-code transponder and Mode C encoding altimeter.
- Under VFR below 18,000 feet MSL, the standard transponder code to select is 1200.
- When using the VFR code (1200), the transponder must operate in Mode A.
- Upon ATC radar service termination in Class C airspace, the transponder should be set to code 1200.
- All aircraft within 30 miles of a Class B primary airport must have ADS-B Out equipment, unless exceptions apply.
- ADS-B Out must operate in transit mode at all times for aircraft equipped with it.
- For operations below 18,000 feet MSL in Class C airspace, aircraft must use either 1090-ES or Universal Access Transceiver for ADS-B Out.
- Requests for operations with inoperative ADS-B Out equipment can be made to ATC at any time.
- ADS-B Out broadcasts the aircraft's three-dimensional position and velocity.
- Overflying Class C airspace below 10,000 feet MSL necessitates ADS-B unless authorized otherwise.
- Pilots should avoid inadvertently selecting transponder codes 7500, 7600, and 7700 during routine code changes.
- When changing transponder codes, avoiding code 7500 is particularly important.
- The VFR code to squawk for a transponder-equipped aircraft is 1200, unless otherwise authorized.
- Glider pilots with 4096 code transponders, not in ATC contact, should squawk 1202.
- Use code 7700 on a coded radar beacon transponder to signal a distress condition to ground radar facilities.
