TIS (Traffic Information System) surveillance data

Transponder appears on the PFD Inset Map and on the
MFD Navigation and Traffic Map Pages (refer to the
Multi Function Display section). If the transponder is
configured with Automated Airborne Determination,
normal operation begins when lift-off is sensed.
When the aircraft is on the ground, the window
automatically displays “GND”. The transponder does
not respond to ATCRBS (ATC Radar Beacon System)
interrogations when GND is annunciated. If a delay time
is set in Configuration Mode, the transponder waits a
specified length of time after landing before changing to
GND mode.
Transponder Operation
Pressing the XPDR softkey displays the second-level
softkeys:
• STBY – Selects standby mode (transponder does
not reply to any interrogations)
• ON – Selects Mode A (transponder replies to
interrogations, as indicated by the Reply Symbol,
R; replies do not include altitude information)
• ALT – Selects Mode C
In ALT mode, the transponder replies to identifica
-
tion and altitude interrogations, as indicated by
the Reply Symbol (R). Replies to altitude inter-
rogations include the standard pressure altitude
received from an external altitude source (not
adjusted for barometric pressure). The ALT mode
may be selected in aircraft not equipped with an
optional altitude encoder; however, in this case, the
reply signal only replies to mode A interrogations.
The transponder also responds to interrogations
from TCAS-equipped aircraft.
• VFR – Sets the transponder code to the pre-pro-
grammed VFR code selected in Configuration
Mode (this is set to 1200 at the factory in the
U.S.A. only; please refer to ICAO standards for
VFR codes in other countries)
• CODE – Displays the transponder code selection
softkeys, which include digits 0-7 and BKSP
• IDENT – Activates the Special Position Identifica-
tion (SPI) Pulse for 18 seconds, identifying the
transponder return on the ATC screen
Transponder Code Selection
Transponder code selection is performed with eight
softkeys (0-7) providing 4,096 active identification codes.
Pushing one of these softkeys begins the code selection
sequence. The new code is activated five seconds after
the fourth digit is entered. Pressing the BKSP softkey
removes one digit at a time until the status bar is empty
(refer to the Mode S Transponder section).
