Adolfin Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Hi all! I have become curious about this. Surely as xsquawkbox does not have an "Observer mode" If both users of a shared cockpit with smart Co pilot the pilots (and controller ) would see two aircrafts? Is there anyway to get rid of your Co pilots model and away that the controller doesn't see traffic warnings etc?
Eddie Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 PF connects with _OBS appended to their callsign and PNF is the only one to activate their transponder.

So the pilot flying connects for example with a callsign like BAW27AT_OBS and turns his transponder off and the PNF sets his callsign as BAW27AT with transponder active?

Correct. As PNF will be handling communications, this would make the most sense from the controller's perspective.
