Jim,
My fuel vents face forward also, thanks for the info.
I went to the Garmin web site and found the AD under their "Service Alert" file,
posted Aug 27, 2004, and pasted it below. Looks like it also applies to the
330D, (European mandate mode S level 2) 33 and 33D transponders (remote mounted
transponders).
SERVICE NOTICE
From: Bob Haase, Aviation Product Support Manager, Garmin International
Re: Software Update for Garmin Mode S Transponders
Today, Garmin is providing a software update (v3.06) for its GTX 330, 330D, 33
and 33D Mode S
transponders. The company has issued mandatory service bulletins, requiring aftermarket
customers and
OEMs to install the v3.06 software on these products. The v3.06 software update
supersedes all previous
updates related to FAA Airworthiness Directive 2004-10-15, which addresses a potential
air-to-air safety issue
between GTX 330/330D-equipped aircraft and those installed with various TAS, TCAD
and TCAS I
equipment.
AD 2004-10-15 lists a potential safety issue in which Garmins Mode S transponders
may intermittently
suppress an air-to-air interrogation from aircraft using certain collision-avoidance
systems. While pilots
flying with respective Garmin equipment will see nearby aircraft via TIS, it is
possible that they may not be
visible to certain traffic-awareness systems in nearby aircraft. Garmin equipped
aircraft remain
appropriately visible within the normal operating range of FAA Terminal and ARTCC
RADAR.
The AD specifies corrective action, including installation of the software update
at a certified repair center.
Garmin encourages its customers to contact their avionics dealer or the companys
field-service engineering
staff with any questions or concerns regarding the AD.
This is the second time I sent this message. The first message may have not been
posted .... I never saw it on the Matronics web site.

Thanks Mark,
I'm thinking my unit is ok since it is only 6 months old.
I guess I should find out for sure.
