the ramp test set.

3.10.2.1 Ground Test Mode
Placing the unit in the Ground Test Mode does the following:
•
Simulation of heading or track (pointing the traffic on the screen in the correct orientation).
•
Sets the unit to “In-Air” status allowing Mode C (altitude) output and additional ADS-B output
messages (sent at a higher rate).
o
In-Air status also allows Mode A (i.e. squawk code). While on-ground, both Mode A and C
replies are inhibited.
o
This allows the IFR-6000 to test the encoding altimeter input (mode C).
These procedures assume the following:
•
Power is being supplied to the aircraft and the unit.
•
The Lynx MAT is active on the MPC.
•
The MPC is connected to the unit via the USB interface
•
The MPC and unit are communicating. From the Lynx MAT panel select
