  1. #Generalschlüssel in #JVA #Euskirchen verschwunden

    Neue Enthüllungen um die JVA Euskirchen: Nach #dpa-Informationen sind dort zwei #elektronische Generalschlüssel verschwunden.

    Demnach hatten #Unbekannte #Transponder #manipuliert und das Innenleben ausgetauscht. #Justizminister Benjamin #Limbach (#Grüne) hat den Vorgang dem Vernehmen nach im vertraulichen Teil der #Sondersitzung des #Rechtsausschusses am Dienstag dargelegt.

  8. Aerei militari #Usa e #Nato viaggiano con i #transponder spenti?
    ChatGPT: “È una prassi comune soprattutto per:
    - voli di ricognizione elettronica (es. #RC135, P-8 Poseidon, droni Global Hawk);
    - missioni con bombardieri strategici (#B52, #B1, #B2);
    - caccia in missione di intercettazione o pattugliamento vicino a confini “caldi”.

  9. The glider's transponder (TRIG TT22) has been successfully tested in the garage. Woo hoo!

    After configuring the device, I put it through some initial tests.

    Even in the garage the GPS antenna can get a position fix.

    Applying higher or lower pressure to the static port on the transponder shows a corresponding change on the displayed altitude.

    Applying pitot tube air pressure to the squat switch changes the transponder mode from ground to airborne, which is what we want.

    Note: I can't test the radio/antenna/transmission capabilities in the garage. And anyway, I need to get the transponder checked at an avionics shop...they have specialty test equipment.

  10. Aircraft and glider transponder codes - FAA gotcha.

    I have not yet received my glider registration from the FAA (any day now, lol!), but they have assigned a transponder code for the N-number I have reserved. (see first screenshot)

    To configure my avionics, I need to load this transponder code into the device.

    FLARM wants it as a 24-bit hexadecimal value. (Each hexadecimal value is 4 bits in binary...so it's going to be a six-character code...but my code is not six characters.)

    Hmmmm, that number the FAA gave me just doesn't seem correct.

    I then called up a known, long-registered aircraft to compare their transponder code. (2nd screenshot)

    Surprise! The transponder code I was given was in octal, but not labeled as such. OK, convert to hexadecimal and now everything makes sense.

    Onward!

  11. Installing and connecting various glider instruments and avionics.

    Electric wires are involved, and also pneumatic tubing.

    This is the wiring harness for the transponder. The control head, to be mounted on the instrument panel, is already connected to the wiring harness. Two other electronic units will be connected to the harness: the transponder, and a precision GPS receiver that provides position information that will be part of the transponder messages.

    The red and black wires are for 12VDC power. They will get connected to a 3 amp circuit breaker.

    The controller head has a blue pneumatic tube that will be connected to the static probe...so that altitude can be reported in the transponder messages.

    The small light gray box, with two pneumatic ports is the squat switch...to change transponder modes between 'on the ground' and 'airborne.'
