GTX 330 Mode S Transponder Features
Traffi c Information Service
The GTX 330 Mode S transponder provides a data link for Traffi c Information Service
(TIS). TIS provides a graphic display of traffi c information in the cockpit for non-TCAS
equipped aircraft. Transponder-equipped aircraft can be displayed within the coverage volume
on indicators such as a Garmin 430 or 530, within range of your position. Aircraft without an
operating transponder are invisible to TIS. Refer to 400/500 series pilot literature for details.
Mode S Data transmission
In addition to 4096 code and pressure altitude, the GTX 330 is capable of transmitting
aircraft registration number or fl ight ID, transponder capability and maximum speed range.
