will “mod C” from transponder be seen in SAFESKY?
Hello.
Thanks for your question and interest.
No, mode C cannot be visible by SafeSky or any existing TAS / TCAS on the market.
Mode C is only visible by air traffic control using primary and secondary radar.
Fly safe.
No way. A Mode C trasmission is not positional and is not unique as modeS is, so it cannot be triangulated with multilateration tecnique. The only way to know its position is by a SSR radar antenna. You can only receive a “proximity alert” if you use a receiver as Pilotaware Rosetta, but it only report that there is a mode C trasponder somewere nearby; you will never be able to see where it is, nor as how far is it.
Good answer @Mariko Thanks.
I also invite you to read our blog dedicated to the Mode S and ADS-B…
