Lauramks2 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Took off from Van Nuys today with the transponder in TA/RA per the checklist. After TO, ATC (pilotedge) could not see my transponder. I thought I had it in the wrong setting so switched to ALT ON. Still cannot read. Tried all the other modes. No go. If I hit Ident, he could momentarily see it but after that, no readings. Tried all the settings but he could never see me. I had finally mastered the flight to Castle AFB with VNAV up and down. Even got Nav to Nav transfer on my practice flight. I was ready for my first flight on using the 650 on pilotedge. Sadly, vectors back to a visual landing and Van Nuys. Boo Hoo. I have searched the internet and I don't see this issue anywhere, even in this forum. What did I get wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
