Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Your Honeywell transponder is a radio transmitter and receiver which
operates on radar frequencies. It receives interrogations from ground
radar, airborne radar or TCAS, then returns a coded response of
pulses to the interrogating system. The reply can be any one of 4,096
codes, which differ in the position and number of pulses
transmitted.By replying to ground transmissions, your MST 67A
enables Air Traffic Control (ATC) computers to display aircraft identification, altitude and ground speed on Enroute, Approach or Departure
Control radar screens. When IDENT is selected, your aircraft is positively identified to the Air Traffic Controller. The MST 67A also works
as part of a TCAS II system.
The MST 67A provides you with optimal Mode S transponder performance and offers all the capabilities needed to operate in the evolving world airspace. The MST 67A incorporates the latest technology,
including the Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance functionality
and data link capability with full Level 3 compliance.
The MST 67A features a unique Flight ID function that converts the
transponder Mode S address (for US registered aircraft only) into the
tail number of your aircraft. For most Part 91 operators, this is also
your Flight ID, so it’s automatically stored in the transponder register,
eliminating the need to install and use an additional control head or
FMS. This makes compliance with Elementary Surveillance simple
and convenient.
The MST 67A provides flexibility by allowing you to choose either
diversity or non-diversity installation or to upgrade from non-diversity
to diversity to keep up with changing regulations.
The MST 67A can be controlled by a choice of control heads, and the
operation of the transponder using each is detailed in Section I.

The CTA 81 ( ) Control Unit is the control for the transponder. The
CTA 81A/D controls two Mode S transponder. The CTA 81B controls
one Mode S transponder and one ATCRBS ARINC 572 transponder. The CTA-81C controls one Mode S transponder.
Note: Controls vary depending on CTA 81 ( ) configuration installed.
Control functions same as typical unit shown.
