8.3.5 Call Sign
CALL SIGN is a maximum 8-character code that corresponds to the tail
number of the aircraft. (0-9, A-Z). The value should be entered without
dashes (e.g. G-ABCD should be entered as GABCD).
8.3.6 FLARM ID
If you have a separate FLARM transmitting device in the aircraft, you can
enter its allocated FLARM ID code here. This in conjunction with the
Ownship Filter function (see next para) will stop your EFB self-alarming
from your own FLARM transmission.
8.3.7 Ownship Filter ADS-B / FLARM
If you have either an Extended Squitter (ES) enabled Mode S transponder
(aka ADS-B Out) fitted to your aircraft or you have enabled 1090ES
transmit (ADS-B Out) on your SkyEcho 2, you can select ADS-B Ownship
Filter to stop your EFB self-alarming or displaying a 'ghost' of your own
aircraft. This requires that you also set the correct Mode S/ADS-B hex code
for your aircraft. Similarly, if you have a FLARM transmitting device in your
aircraft, you can filter out its transmissions to stop your EFB self-alarming
or 'ghosting' based on this transmission. As with ADS-B, you must first set
your FLARM ID code to enable this filter.
8.3.8 Emitter Category
To assist ATC tracking of aircraft, an aircraft category is transmitted. Select
the aircraft category that most closely matches the aircraft.
Note EC devices are not approved for all emitter categories. Refer to
country-specific addendum for local regulations.
