Once again, my apologies for my lack of knowledge on this subject as I was out
of the country for much of last year. I am trying to bring myself up to date
as to the requirements for Mode S. My first question is do I really need to have
it in the UK for VFR flights? What about flying on the continent? There is
much info on the web but it looks like there are a lot of exceptions to the rules
for VFR flights in our airplanes.
I currently have a Microair with mode C. If I need to upgrade it looks like the
Trig TT21 will fit in the same space. What experience have others had with this
unit?

Richard,
In Germany we obliged to switch on our Mode S :
Over 5000 ft
In a TMZ
In a CTR
Otherwise no transponder necessary.
In Holland I believe it is compulsory above 1200 ft but must be switched off under
the Amsterdam TMA. So you have to have it but cannot use it!
No Idea for the rest of Europe.

I have the Trig unit. I blew it up when I installed it!! Completely my fault I
sent it back and they fixed it straight away at no cost even though they knew
it was because I am an idiot.
I was concerned that it would be harder to set with 1 knob rather than 4. I have
found it much easier and just 1 button to go back to 7000.
My squawk is always seen.
What more could you ask for?

I also have a trig TT21 also and it installed without fuss it is easy to
use and the VFR button to go back to 7000 ,or whatever you have as a
default, is very helpful.
it works and I think it works well, what more can you say. It can work with
extended squitter so will not go out of date too soon.

Hi Richard
I have a Trig 21. Very straightforward to install and use.
The only criticism I have is that it doesn't remember the
alternative (non-7000) squawk after it has been turned off.
It also has the encoding altimeter inside it so a separate
one is not required (allowing sale of the old Mode C
transponder AND its encoding altimeter - on eBay in the
USA !!!!!)
Ideally as my airfield is in the Stansted TMZ I would have
0013 stored/saved in there, but I have to put it in as the
"flip-to" code each time I start up.

I have a Becker.
A very solid engineered pain in the arse to use.
Not intuitive and I have to get the handbook out every time I need to set a code.

| Subject: | rudder pedal adjustment |
I need to get rid of the extra back cushion and bring the rudder pedals aft
to accommodate my short legs. Am I right in thinking that shortening the
cables will result in the pedals no longer aligning themselves in the
neutral position as is required in the manual? Looking at the geometry with
the stb pivot aft of the port I see the port pedal being left behind the
port as both cables are shortened.
Before I start tinkering I would be glad to hear what others have done.
Thanks

We bought F-PMLH equipped with GARMIN GTX327 and Alticodeur ACK30, which
means mode C (very efficient and easy to use).
Mode S is not (yet?) requested in France. Most are still equipped with
mode
A or Mode C.

I have a Trig TT21, in addition from my EFIS I send NMEA information to my TT21
which has all my GPS information.
So when I fly those folk who use Foreflight or similar on their smartphones now
track me asking me what am I doing by not being at work. Works like flight
following.
I leave the TT21 in ALT all the time as I am able via my MGL equipment to use the
TT21's squat switch and it changes from GND to ALT and back automatically in
Mode S format.
Our standard code in New Zealand is 1200, works like a dream with our SSR.

I can recommend it.
