Page 17: Cooling Requirements
8.5 Cooling Requirements ping20Si is designed to meet all applicable TSO requirements without forced-air cooling. Attention should, however, be given to the incorporation of cooling provisions to limit the maximum operating temperature if ping20Si is installed in close proximity to other Avionics. The reliability of equipment operating in close proximity in an avionics bay can be degraded if adequate cooling is not provided. -

hexadecimal format, so you must first convert an octal number to hexadecimal before entering. Tip: By using the N-Number Look Up function on https://www.faa.gov, locate and use the “Mode S Code (base 16 / hex)” value. 9.3 Callsign The CALL SIGN can be up to an 8 digit code that corresponds to the tail number of the aircraft. -
Page 21: Aircraft Length / Width
9.8 Aircraft Length / Width When on the ground, ADS-B transmits encoded aircraft size information which is used by ATC to identify taxiing routes and potential conflicts. Enter the length and width (wingspan) fields and the appropriate size codes will be calculated for transmission. -
