3.2. Setting the flight id / aircraft registration / company callsign

A Mode-S transponder broadcasts the flight id (FID, company callsign for commercial
aircraft or the aircraft registration for smaller private operated aircraft).
If the transponder is operated in several aircraft with installed cradles then the
steering units (usually installed in the instrument panel) need to remain in the same
aircraft . The steering unit carries the flight id. So no changes are required, when
moving the central unit to another aircraft.
Follow these steps to set the flight id / aircraft registration:
• Set the unit to standby (SBY) mode
• Press the on/off key and hold it. Press the mode key within 3 seconds.
• The current flight id will be shown on the screen now.

• To modify the flight id, press the inner knob of the double shaft rotary encoder.
The blinking first digit of the flight id indicates the edit mode.
• Use the outer knob of the rotary encoder to select the position to be modified.
Use the inner knob of the rotary encoder to modify the selected value. Do not
enter dashes or blanks even when used in your aircraft registration or
company callsign. The data must be entered left aligned.
• To finish editing the flight id press the inner knob of the rotary encoder.
• Exit the flight id page by pressing the mode key.

The flight id may be changed if required. Usually the FID is the
callsign of your aircraft unless field 7 of the flight plan contains
other data. Always check before each flight if your flight id
has been set correctly.
