Soooo....... gonna show us a copy o that ol' pilot's licence of yours?

You Dad pay for an intro flight?

Actually can you try and not bring family insults into this? my father passed away in 2007 and the circumstances of which are still a fairly painfull memory, I don't seek to bring any of your family into our personal differences here.

But thanks for confirming the hipocrisy of your own scurrying away into dark corners when asked to prove something, you are incapable of providing any evidence of a pilots licence and just resort to the insults.

Honestly, Don't dish it if you can't take it.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad.

WTF are you talking about? I can take you making stupid personal insults any day of the week, I'm very comfortable with the reality of our situations, what I don't appreciate are insults to my family.

This thread is another candidate for a lock.

shouldn't you ask an avionics engineer? do you need mode C desparately? whats wrong with mode A? are you regularily flying in controlled airspace? it's not mandatory to have mode C outside of controlled airspace here.

My homebase is Class C.

OK, I'd still ask an avionics engineer, not entirely sure where you thought a lack of knowlege about the internal workings of a transponder quantifies as proof of not being a pilot, all I'm requred to know about them is when where and how to use them, and I mostly use ones with mode S in order to function with the TCAS II.

You had no problems insulting my family in PM.

It is not proof, but it sure isn't something most non-pilots know about. The internal workings of an altitude encoder are definately not something someone who has not owned an airplane know much about.

The trans-cal is on order. Only 60 bucks more for a 42 month warrenty combined with smaller, lighter, and uses the same tray as the ACK.
