A transponder is a device used in most modern aircraft to make the aircraft more visible to ATC (Air Traffic Control) radar. When an aircraft is illuminated by a radar signal, the transponder sends a code that is displayed on the ATC radar screen. The code, sometimes called a “squawk code”, is a 4-digit numeric value that is set by the pilot. This HUD makes your aircraft visible on a grid map that is accessible from an off-world web page modeling an ATC radar system.
This version of the Shergood Aviation transponder includes a moving map GPS to display your position in real time. Transponder Functions:
- Track your flights on radar
- Enter unique transponder code for your flight
- Enter N-number, flight number and aircraft type

- ELT alerts search and rescue in event of crash
- Radar map web page with Google Maps interface
GPS Functions
- Real-time multi-region moving map display of your aircraft and nearby transponder equipped aircraft
- Zoom in to single region, or out to 7x7 grid
- HUD size can be expanded for easy data entry
- Easy flight plan entry page
