Transponder certification question
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2018 7:42 pm
Greetings...
I have installed a Becker ATC-4401 xponder using my Sport SX's internal altitude encoder. It seems to be working correctly, with the displayed xponder altitude matching my analog altimeter and so far ATC hasn't complained. I now need to have the xponder officially certified by an avionics shop. Since I don't think the shop I'll be using is familiar with the Sport SX, I want to be able to show them how to get to whatever pages are needed for them to do the job. I'm guessing that he will need to see the encoder output once his test instrument is connected. So far, I've been unable to locate this in the manual(s), so I'm hoping there is someone who can clue me in as to what I'll need to know for this procedure. Thanks!
