I took a look at the Mode S / Mode A activity during this sortie.

Seemed to be the usual pattern with both aircraft starting with Mode S active , then switching to Mode A only during tests.

Noted sqwks were 3670 [10] and 3672 [12] .
Mode A 2100 was also active , presumably the conspicuity code during the runs.

What was particularly interesting was a fourth code being interrogated and tracking , 0017

Chris I notice you refer to Tarnish10 as BT17 is this a production number or mission code please ?
You might just have solved the mystery of Mode A code 0017 , which might be the frame's Mode 2 mission code.


Thanks

ZG

Hi ZG,

BT17 is the construction number for Typhoon ZK303 coded AX.

A lot of the Warton folk use Construction/Build Numbers so I tend to put miliary serial and construction number for Typhoon and Hawk on my logs
Brilliant Chris , thanks for the clarification.
We now know that if Mode A 0017 pops up , it relates to ZK303.

Another mystery solved !

Best wishes

ZG

Hi,


I am sorry ZG I have got Hex Codes mixed up, 43C33B is in fact ZJ700/IPA5 and NOT ZK303/BT17. Sorry for the mix up
