I have a query regarding the configuration of PAW and the result on the Traffic display on the interface page. I understand that, if PAW is set up with the a/c hex code, then the traffic information supplied to any connected nav device will have 'own ship' info suppressed
This is correct
My question is, will own ship info still be displayed on the Traffic display on the interface page?
Yes it should, there is a simple filter before transmitting to NAV that suppresses sending the data if the ICAO
value in the database entry, matches the one entered via the User Interface. But this is not done for the traffic
table.
I ask as yesterday I could not see my a/c on the Traffic list. Other ADS-B and Mode S traffic showed up well. I just want to know whether I should be chasing a PAW configuration issue or a transponder fault!
This may not be a
fault pers se, let us assume that your transponder is currently running in Mode-S, then in order
to be detected it
MUST be interrogated by ground radar, otherwise it will not transmit.
ADS-B on the other hand is intended to be (A)
automatic, in other words it will broadcast its data automatically, without being interrogated.
Interpretation of
automatic is now down to the transponder vendors understanding.
So should this only be when moving for instance ?
I would recommend asking Trig, under what circumstances do they suppress/enable the ADS-B transmission.
it could be a configuration issue, it could be an intended use - ie position is not changing
Thx
