Transponder is like your toll tag. Radar detects your car going through the gantry, and the tag identifies it. In aviation, secondary radar interrogates an aircraft's ATC system and the transponder transmits a response. Mode-C and S transponders identify the aircraft and altitude. ADS-B transponder transmits altitude, heading, position, and speed. The transponder responds to the type of interrogation it recieves.Originally posted by Baron Von Crowder View Post
Edit: Actually, I think ADS-B transmits continuously.Last edited by BERNIE MOSFET; 03-13-2014, 10:52 AM.Men have become the tools of their tools.

I'm going to take this moment to recommend adding "Air Disasters" to their netflix list. Awesome series that covers the most mind boggling and crazy air mishaps. Really educational. It's probably one of the most interesting documentaries I've seen in a long time. This whole crash is unfolding much like many in the past, it's a little eerie to see it happen."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Where did they retrieve "engine data" that states the aircraft did not fly four hours after losing contact?Comment

This article might explain the disparity here: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4958050Originally posted by BERNIE MOSFET View Post
Essentially, the 777 likely has an air data link system installed that gathers flight and aircraft condition data and, with a service subcription, transmit it back to operators in flight. The system was operational and looking for an uplink. Like trying to make a call from a cell phone with no service.
The report indicates that the signals were picked up via satellite, but the data can be transmitted via VHF and HF radio as well. At the least, some coms seem to have been functional.
Edit: this is not worded well. Transmits data to ground while aircraft is in flight.Men have become the tools of their tools.

The new data combined with Malaysian primary radar tracking suggests a westward direction. Seems they are expanding the search area to the Indian Ocean.Men have become the tools of their tools.
