5.2.13.2 MODE S Flight ID Pages
Flight ID can be entered in TSO Class 2A units, P/N
010-00230-( ) and 010-00293-( ).
NOTE
When a Flight ID Number contains a space, the GTX 330 automatically removes spaces in
data transmission.
For operation requiring the flight crew to enter an aircraft identification designator each time the unit is
powered up, select the page identified as FLIGHT ID PWR-UP ENTRY. When this choice is selected
and the crew enters the Flight ID correctly, the flight number call sign for radio contact with ATC is the
same flight identification that the GTX 330 Mode S transponder replies to ATC radar interrogations.
The screen depicted here shows the FLIGHT ID PWR-UP ENTRY (choice 2) after the CRSR key is
pressed, and the unit is ready to receive the flight identification.
For entering all Mode S Flight IDs:
1. Press the CRSR key once to highlight the address field.
2. Enter the aircraft address using the number keys. Pressing a key repeatedly scrolls through the
digit/alpha characters for that key.
3. Press the CRSR key to select the next alphanumeric entry field. Enter the next character as stated
in the previous step, then move onto the next one, repeating the process until the complete number
is entered.
4. When finished, press the CRSR key to accept the number entry.
Using the FUNC and/or START/STOP keys, toggle through the pages to get off of, then back onto the
aircraft address page. Verify that the address is correct.
Turn the unit off. Power the unit back on in the normal mode. If the FLIGHT ID PWR-UP ENTRY page
was selected verify that the unit requests the correct page during system turn on.
An important factor to consider while configuring the GTX 330 is this:
POWER UP ENTRY requires that a variable Mode S
FLIGHT ID is entered each time the unit is powered on. The
selections SAME AS TAIL and CONFIG ENTRY are fixed
entries. The two fixed selections do not require any
transponder interaction from the flight crew, whereas
POWER UP ENTRY always does.
