GROUND MODE
Ground Mode is normally selected automatically when the aircraft is on the ground. The transponder
powers up in the last mode it was in when shut down. Ground Mode can be overridden by pressing any
one of the Mode Selection Softkeys. A green GND indication and transponder code appear in the mode field
of the Transponder Data Box. Ground Mode generates Mode S replies to discrete interrogations as well as
transmission of acquisition squitter and extended squitter, including ADS-B out (if equipped). Mode A, Mode
C, and Mode S all-call replies are inhibited.
When Standby Mode has been selected on the ground, the transponder can be returned to Ground Mode
by pressing the GND Softkey.
