performance standards. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine that the aircraft installation standards
for a specific type or class of aircraft are in compliance with all applicable TSO requirements. The
GTX 320/320A and antenna may be installed only if further evaluation by the applicant documents an acceptable
installation and is approved by the administrator. For GTX 320/320A TSO compliance, see Appendix A. For

ATC Transponder Tests and Inspections

The ATC transponder tests required by 14 CFR, Part 91.413 may be conducted using a bench check or portable
test equipment and must meet the requirements prescribed in Part 43 Appendix F.
If portable test equipment with appropriate coupling to the aircraft antenna system is used, operate the test
equipment for ATCRBS transponders at a nominal rate of 235 interrogations per second to avoid possible
ATCRBS interference. An additional 3 dB loss is allowed to compensate for antenna coupling errors during
receiver sensitivity measurements conducted in accordance with Part 43 Appendix F, Paragraph (c)(1) when using
portable test equipment.
