(1). Transponder:

Pilot checks NCS-31 selected on pedestal transponder control panel.

NOTE: If MANUAL is selected on pedestal control panel, dashes will appear in XPDR RRU and a squawk

cannot be entered via the keypad.

NOTE: Whenever ATC issues a squawk, direct the CP to back-up the NCS-31 with the same code on the pedestal

panel. NCS-31 is primary. MANUAL is usually not selected unless a malfunction is experienced.

Pilot verifies ALT REP pushbutton on MSU is depressed.

If a transponder code is visible, continue to Step c. If not, press XPDR on CDPU. Enter

the desired code and press USE. Verify code is visible in XPDR RRU.

NOTE: Utilize assigned squawk (if known) at time of test. If unknown, any squawk could be used for the test.

1111 is preferred for ease in tuning. The system may default to 1111 and be displayed without tuning.

NOTE: Emergency codes 7700/7600 and hijack code 7500 are never used for testing the transponder.

Inadvertent actuation will result in ATC alarms.

Pilot presses and holds STBY then XPDR 1 TEST pushbuttons on MSU. Verify green

IDENT REPLY light on. Pilot releases XPDR 1 then STBY pushbutton and notes IDENT

REPLY light out.

NOTE: Proper use of the STBY switch will prevent inadvertent activation of the transponder.

RADIOs/NAVAIDs have now been checked. Request clearance in accordance with

Appendix A, as appropriate. Once clearance has been received, set radios/NAVAIDs as

required for climbout and departure.
