 |

Hi All
Having been away in the U.S. for the last 6 months I am somewhat behind the
curve with regard to the Mode S situation.
Can anyone tell me if I actually need to fit this piece of kit right now or
not?
I have tried reading the CAA website, but quite frankly I am even more
confused. I want to fly both VFR and IFR so can someone please help
Do I need it or not
Many Thanks
Alan

Not according to AOPA. It could be another 5 years for mode S for VFR in
the UK, even then it may only apply above a certain level. 6,000 feet is
being suggested.

Someone told me, that it was to be a VFR-demand in Germany pr. 1.3.2008.Anyone know if that is correct?

Copied from Devonstrut Newsletter:
Mode S Update
The current state of play with mode S was outlined by the CAA at a recent
National Air Traffic Management
Advisory Committee (NATMAC) meeting and posted on the PFA BB by Strut
members and PFA vice
chairman John Brady:
Stage 1: In March 2008 Mode S would be mandated everywhere above FL100 and
when flying IFR in
controlled airspace. From that date, no further installations of Mode A/C
transponders would be approved,
only Mode S. A transition period would be allowed.
Stage 2: At a later date to be defined, Mode S would be required for flight
in Class D airspace and in
Transponder Mandatory Zones which have yet to be defined. The first stage
would be implemented without
further consultation but there would be public consultation about stage 2.
Sense prevailing at last.
The PFA Bulletin Board has a more complete "debate".
