7.5.2 ADS-B Out Test

The ADS-B Out test procedure requires the use of a Mode S transponder ramp tester,
such as an Aeroflex IFR-6000 or TIC TR-220. Specific instructions for operating the ramp
tester are contained in the applicable operator's manual.
To perform the test, do the following:
1. Make sure the aircraft is in a location where a GPS signal is receivable (e.g., out-
doors with a clear view of the sky).
2. Power on the aircraft/avionics.
3. Make sure the GPS source(s) have acquired a position.
4. Ensure the GTX transponder is in ADS-B TX mode.
5. Using the transponder test set, make sure the following ADS-B Out parameters
are being transmitted:
a) Aircraft emitter category is Light Airplane < 15,500 lbs (on the TR-220 this is
indicated as "A1").
b) Aircraft length documented in the aircraft checkout log.
c) Aircraft width documented in aircraft checkout log.
d) 1090 ADS-B In capability matches the configuration setting documented in
the aircraft checkout log.
e) UAT (978) ADS-B In capability matches the configuration setting documented
in the aircraft checkout log.
6. Place the GTX transponder into airborne state (refer to Section 8.1.1).
7. If dual GPS sources are connected to the GTX, disable the GPS source not being
checked by covering the GPS antenna or removing power from that navigator.
8. Make sure the GPS source not being checked is no longer receiving satellite
data.
9. Ensure the GPS source being checked has acquired position.
10. Select ALT mode on the GTX.
