AB-011 -03 3223-011Figure 1Figure 2may appear in the outer ring (usually six to 10 miles), but then disappear when they get close. Sometimes I’ll see an advisory of a target within the inner ring (usually set at two miles) that disappears and then reappears later, behind the airplane.What’s happening? An airplane with a traffic detection device willhave a number of transponder antennae; the standard antenna on the bottom of the aircraft and one or more on the top. The idea is to be able to transmit interrogation signals and receive transponder returns from all around the air- plane, to the sides as well as above and below.In Figure 1, Airplane A is equipped with a traffic advisory system. Its antennae, on the top and bottom of the airframe, transmit interrogations and listen for responses from other airplanes’ transponders. Airplane B in this example does not have a traffic alerter system, and is equippedPilots N Pawsis an online meetingplace for pilots andother volunteerswho help to transport rescue animals by air. The mission of the site is to provide a user- friendly communication venue between those that rescue, shelter, and foster animals; and pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of these animals.A general aviation transportrequires just one pilot volunteerand is far more efficient and dependable than time-consuming ground transportation for these animals who are often in danger of euthanization. Volunteer pilots retain complete authority of their planning and flights, and can give as much or as little time as they like.SIMPLE AS 1-2-3No bothersome paperwork required!If you love to fly, and you love animals, please join us now!
