Aircraft Transponder; What is it for? How does it work?/Aviation explained
The transponder in aviation is used to locate and identify an aircraft. Traditionally, 3 modes are available for this purpose: Mode A, Mode C and Mode S. In all modern, commercial aircraft, we find another component, it is called ADS-B: "Airborne Dependent Surveillance Broadcast", and today it contributes significantly to aviation safety.
In this video I explain how the system works. Enjoy

8:52 I believe there is a wrong information at that part. ATA34 is actually navigation and surveillance refers to ATA Chapter 93.
Everything has changed into digital (even AI) but is still machinery in cockpit analog?
Is It possible to choose exactly the mode “A” at a380 xpdr?
That was a great hard-worked video Sir, I have a question, ADS-B transponder was the one that was on flight MH370 as well, How come just turning off one switch just disables everything ? don't you think this needs a modification itself ?

Thank you for your comment and question. ADS-B has been developed mainly for ATC, beside ADS-B do exist additional „protocols“ to transmit aircraft data (a wide range of data are possible dependent on airline/operator demand) and this data transfer can not be switched off in the cockpit. The missing „data until disappearance“ must have other reasons.

@@CaptainFrankDreyerA380 understood! then what happens if a transponder is turned off? the official reports of MH370 suggest that plane disappeared from secondary radar because of a transponder turn off, and pilots did not sent any stress signals to the ground. this implies that if pilot/pilots does not use those protocols to transmit data, the data shall not be transmitted?

Good info. Would’ve liked if it were more to the point though.

I'm flying over a class b airspace and I set up a two-way radio communication and transport bonding on mode c altitude reporting I am transporting within 30 nautical miles of airport Kennedy within 10,000 ft msll right now and I am at VR attacking I have fire operations I will be flying in pretty soon for a pre-flight landing operations
Sir u should have provided short note for the vedio
Does ADS B transmit if transponder is switched off?

normally not. unless the aircraft is built with an independent ADS B power source and transmitter/receiver system.
