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

    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?

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