Lauramks2 Posted July 23, 2024 Report Posted July 23, 2024 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?

Lauramks2 Posted July 23, 2024 Author Report Posted July 23, 2024 Thank you so much. I searched discord but I can see I have more to learn. I copied and pasted the file and will let you know how it goes.
Lauramks2 Posted July 24, 2024 Author Report Posted July 24, 2024 Problem solved. Pilotedge got my transponder yesterday and I made it all the way to Castle. Thanks so much.
