4.1 TRANSPONDER DESCRIPTION
The GTX 33 transponder is integrated into the G1000 system, offering Mode A, Mode C and Mode S interrogation and reply capabilities. This pilot’s guide provides a description of the transponder operation and information on Mode S capability.
The transponder controls are located on the G1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) on the lower portion of the screen (see figures below).
TRANSPONDER SOFTKEYS
Thetransponderfunctionspansthreelevelsofsoftkeys; the Top-level, the Mode Selection and the Code Selection softkeys.
When the Top-level XPDR softkey is pressed, the following softkeys appear in the softkey bar (Figure 4-2):
STBY, ON, ALT, VFR, CODE, IDENT, BACK.
TRANSPONDER
When the CODE softkey is pressed, the number softkeys appear in the softkey bar (Figure 4-3): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, IDENT, BKSP, BACK. The digits 8 and 9 are not used for code entry. Pressing the BKSP softkey backs up code selection to the previous digit.
Pressing the BACK softkey during code selection reverts to the MODE Selection softkeys (Figure 4-2). Pressing the BACK softkey during Mode Selection reverts to the Top-level softkeys (Figure 4-1).
NOTE: After 45 seconds of transponder softkey inactivity, the system reverts back to the Toplevel softkeys (Figure 4-1).
TRANSPONDER STATUS BAR
The Transponder Status bar is located to the left of the System Time box and contains, a four-digit code field, a mode field and a reply status indicator. In Standby mode, both the code field and the mode field appear in white. In all other modes, these fields appear in green.

TRANSPONDER
MODE S FEATURES
The GTX 33 transponder is equipped with selective addressing or Mode Select (Mode S), capability. Mode S functions include the following features:
•Level-2 reply data link capability (used to exchange information between aircraft and various ATC facilities)
•Surveillance identifier capability
•Flight ID reporting
•Altitude reporting
•Airborne status determination
•Transponder capability reporting
•Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) requirements
•Acquisition squitter
FlightIDReporting–TheG1000transponderreports aircraft identification as either the aircraft registration or a FLT ID (Flight Identification). The system is configured for either option by an authorized Garmin service center.
If configured for Flight ID entry, the pilot must enter the appropriate flight ID on the PFD. After the correct Flight ID is entered, the aircraft identification reported in responsetoATCradarinterrogationsisproperlycorrelated with the associated call sign for voice communication.
The flight ID is not to exceed seven (7) characters. No space is needed when entering Flight ID. When a Flight ID contains a space, the system automatically removes it uponcompletionofFlightIDentry. (SeeICAOdocuments 8168, 4444 and 8585 for further details).
If the Flight ID is set to ‘SAME AS TAIL’ no entry is required. In this configuration, the transponder then reports the aircraft registration number to ATC.
Acquisition Squitter – Acquisition squitter, or short squitter, is the transponder 24-bit identification address. The transmission is sent periodically, regardless of the presence of interrogations.
The purpose of acquisition squitter is to enable Mode S ground stations and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) equipped aircraft to recognize the presence of Mode S-equipped aircraft for selective interrogation.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
Mode S provides a data link for Traffic Information Service (TIS). TIS is a ground-based service that sends out location, direction, altitude and climb/descent information relative to all transponder-equipped aircraft within a radius of 55 miles from select sites.
For aircraft not equipped with TCAS or TAS, TIS provides a graphic display of traffic information. TIS displays up to eight (8) traffic targets within 7.5 nautical miles from 3,000 feet below to 3,500 feet above your aircraft. TIS data is updated approximately once every five (5) seconds.
NOTE: TIS is intended only to assist in visual acquisition of other aircraft in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC).
NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS.
