Thats why quite often in hilly or mountainous terrain we cant pick up all targets till they reach certain altitudes. Your transponder anntenae is on the bottom of your aircraft and will need close to an unimpeded line to our radar for us to be able to interogate the data from your transponder and verify your equipment is working accurately. Hope this helps. Mark Phipps, N242RP, In the paint shop! "Ralph E. Capen" wrote: --> RV-List message posted by: "Ralph E.

Reply: Sure, the controller should be able to give you a readout from your transponder while on the ground unless his equipment just won't pick up from certain locations on the field. >I had a conversation with the controller at my airport today and he told me that I needed to be airborne. Reply: He can do that too. A good way to check your static system accuracy while at speed is to do a low pass over the runway (50 feet above the runway is fine). Your altimeter and transponder should indicate approximately 50 feet above the field. By the way, altitude encoders feeding transponders are only accurate to +/- 100 feet. >this little birdie from flight school reminds me that I was always instructed to leave my transponder in the 'Stand-By' mode till I took the active so it wouldn't mess up the controllers. Reply: A Designated Examiner who flies in and out of Atlanta's Hartsfield busy airport said controllers there told him it was fine to leave the transponder in mode C reporting altitude. They rather have it that way than have the pilot forget to put it in mode C after take off. They will tell you to put it in standby if it is a problem. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:08:42 AM PST US From: "Ralph E.

This still leaves me with a lack of knowledge of how to ensure that my transponder is responding to interrogations correctly. My airport is within the mode C veil so I'll technically need it even for first flight (that's a ways off too but if I gotta get something fixed - now's the time). Do I need to contact an avionics shop with portable test gear? Removing the radio seems silly since I need to test my system not just the radio.

This ensures that the device is reporting the correct altitudes to the radar interrogation. I have the MicroAir T2000 which also has this feature of displaying what altitude it is responding to ATC with, so I see how this may be seen as "not needed" in our cases. According to FAR 91.413 (c) ... "The tests and inspections specified (in Appendix F, Part 43) in this section must be conducted by: 1) a "certified repair station" ... and the requirements of that station are then listed. Our "repariman certificate" does not include a "radio rating, ClassIII". OR 3) The manufacturer of the aircraft on which the transponder was installed .... It would seem to me that *I* am the manufacturer, so *I* have the ability to sign this off. Then have a look at what the tests involved ARE .. in AppxF, Part 43. I have NO CLUE what any of that stuff means. Too bad it didn't say "Just look at the transponder display screen to see if it is reporting altitude correctly +-100 feet when corrected for 29.92".

One see through filter before the fuel pump that can be checked at pre-flight would be a pretty reliable solution in my opinion. I don't think redundant fuel sources is worth giving up the pre-flight check. AN fittings would be more leak resistant, but before the fuel pump, the system is sucking so leak resistance is a lot less needful. I've settled on the Purolator PRO #806.

I may not be of much help, but for arguments sake let's talk about transponder testing at the avionics shop. As I understand it, (I could be wrong) even if you're not IFR certified you still need a transponder check every two years. This can be accomplished at the avionics shop OR the test can be done from the controllers readout .... to verify the altitude codes. However, with a new unit that may have sat on the shelf for two years or more while you're building .... are you outside the two years check period??? I dunno. Second thing is that I've not heard of any enforcement action taken because of a transponder failure (Senator what's-his-face going to washington recently would have been a good candidate!!!) so there's really no problem there. I've flown into (and out of) class B space with a broke transponder .... it was in ident mode all the time ...... and then quit altogether ...... the controller just informed me of the problem and I went on my way. It's fixed. So, I'd worry about bent tails and smiley faces ..... and have your local controller verify your trnasponder on your first flight ... as long as you don't have any other pressing problems. Even if it's not working correctly, it'll be a non-event which can be saved for another less stressful time. Just MHO, and I hope someone with real knowledge will chime in.

R. Dial" >To: "RV-List" >Subject: RV-List: Transponder sign off > Unfortunately, the tests that are required by FAR 91.411 are not possible to do without specialized test equipment. They go way beyond just seeing if the transponder's output agrees with the altimeter. If you want to fly IFR, FAR 91.411(a)(1) says: Within the preceding 24 calendar months, each static pressure system, each altimeter instrument, and each automatic pressure altitude reporting system has been tested and inspected and found to comply with appendix E of part 43 of this chapter; FAR 43 Appendix E has a very detailed test of the accuracy of the altimeter and encoder. That means that both the altimeter and the altitude encoder must be checked against a static pressure test set to confirm that they are accurate. It is not good enough to verify that the altimeter and the encoder are saying the same thing. FAR 91.413 applies for VFR and IFR. FAR 91.413(a) says: No persons may use an ATC transponder that is specified in 91.215(a), 121.345(c), or 135.143(c) of this chapter unless, within the preceding 24 calendar months, the ATC transponder has been tested and inspected and found to comply with appendix F of part 43 of this chapter. FAR 43 Appendix F specifies a test of the radio transmissions from the transponder, Radio Reply Frequency, Reciever Sensitivity, etc. This test requires specialized equipment and knowledge. FAR 91.413(b) says: Following any installation or maintenance on an ATC transponder where data correspondence error could be introduced, the integrated system has been tested, inspected, and found to comply with paragraph (c), appendix E, of part 43 of this chapter. This means that you must do the same accuracy test as the IFR guys, after installation, or any maintenance that could affect the accuracy of the encoder. This would probably include any work on the wiring between the encoder and the transponder. Yes, a comparison of the altimeter against the transponder's readout would meet the intent of this check, if you only did wiring work, but unfortunately you have to meet the letter of the reg, not just the intent. -- Kevin Horton RV-8 (finishing kit) Ottawa, Canada http://go.phpwebhosting.com/~khorton/rv8/ ________________________________ Message 19 ____________________________________ Time: 09:53:20 AM PST US From: "Bruce Gray" Subject: RE: RV-List: SpyWare FREE --> RV-List message posted by: "Bruce Gray" Do a google search for 'spybot'.

I have a real problem with installing any device in the fuel system that doesn't have some kind of automatic bypass. The big problem is that your engine sucks the fuel from the tank. This means your most likely type of leak is going to be air bubbles into your fuel line. Hard to find, symptoms are engine stumble at high power settings. All cases of this in Glasairs were cured by removal of the inline filters and relying on the gasculator to do it's job. I have the Andair Gas 500 gasculator, built in bypass, excellent product.

However according to 91.413 (b), after installation where "data correspondence error could be introduced", the "integrated system" must be checked. That means to me that you can't fly until the complete static system has been checked. 91.413 (c) (3) says that the manufacturer can do the inspection and test but I'll bet that you'd have to prove that you're qualified and have the properly calibrated test equipment.

Hoped in the truck and zipped off to the airport. Kevin Belue was there with his beautiful RV6A he was on his way to Oshkosh, when he left John C. Tune in Nashville the sky was blue but by the time he got here the sky was closing in. We checked the weather on the terminal computer and it looked like it might be past us in an hour or so. Off we went to my hanger so Kevin could check out my RV7A. After a while we went back to the terminal and saw that the rain was all past us but the overcast was around 1300 and did not even start to clear up past Evansville, IN. Kevin made the decision to tie it down and head to a hotel. I helped him and then took him to a local hotel. He is safe and sound for the night and it looks like things should clear up tomarrow so he can countine on.

You only said that you are not leaning... Mixture is about the most important factor in controlling cylinder temps (assuming baffling correct, etc.). I can run the temps up and down about 40 F degrees just by messing with mixture. Obviously, power settings vs indicated airspeed vs OAT are huge also. That being said, there are screwy things going on in the cooling air exit area on the 6A's. Have a look at: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~alexpeterson/coolingmods.htm I now climb up to altitude at full throttle, full mixture (yes, lots of gas going in but in an RV it isn't for very long). I'll dial the prop back to 2500 or so when the MAP has dropped to 26 or so inches. Some power is lost with these extremely rich mixtures, but the engine will really stay cool compared to being closer to peak power. I swiped these methods from John Deakin's Avweb articles, and they really do work. When I level off, I dial the prop down, and do an all at once mixture pull until I feel power drop, then tweak it in using EGT.
