Kevin Rickman 1358154 Posted April 9, 2017 at 12:12 AM Posted April 9, 2017 at 12:12 AM I use VasFMC for flights and sometimes controllers request i squawk mode C on the ground during taxi. however, when im flying with an aircraft that uses VasFMC, and i try to set Mode C in vPilot it turns blue and then goes off again. ive tried reinstalling vpilot, changing various settings in vasFMC but it still shuts itself off. Ive noticed that VasFMC will only let vpilot squawk mode C once airborne and turns it off once on ground. i also have the "automaticaly squawk mode C on takeoff" checkbox unchecked. Does anyone have any ideas on a workaround or how to stop this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted April 9, 2017 at 09:03 AM Posted April 9, 2017 at 09:03 AM Hi Kevin, this is quite simple to solve. In vasFMC select MCDU MENU ==> SQUAWKBOX ==> MANUAL Now, vasFMC has no more control over your transponder. AUTOMATIC means "SQUAWK CHARLIE when on takeoff run", ON is "SQUAWK CHARLIE all the time" and OFF naturally sets "SQUAWK STANDBY all the time".
