5 Introduction
5.1 Description
The Ping200S is a TSO-C199 Class A, Mode S, level 2e transponder with
support for ADS-B extended squitter. The Ping200S has a nominal power
output of 250W and meets the power output requirements for Class 1. The
ADS-B function meets DO-260B class B1S.
This transponder replies to both legacy Mode A/C interrogations and to
Mode S interrogations from both ground radar and airborne collision
avoidance systems. In all cases, the interrogations are received by the
transponder on 1030MHz and replies are transmitted on 1090MHz.
This system will enable the aircraft to be visible to ATC and other aircraft
equipped with:
Traffic Advisory System (TAS) as defined in TSO-C174()
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System I (TCAS I) as defined in
TSO-C188()
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II (TCAS II) as defined
in TSO-C119d
ADS-B In capability as defined in TSO-C154c, TSO-C166b and TSO-
C195b
This equipment has received a FAA transmit license for manned
aircraft and a license for un-manned aircraft operating above
500ft AGL

5.3 TABS
The intent of a Traffic Awareness Beacon System (TABS) is to increase
safety within the National Airspace System (NAS) by encouraging the
voluntary equipage of a low cost, compact, easy to install device that will
allow other aircraft equipped with collision avoidance systems and traffic
advisory systems to track and display the TABS aircraft. TABS are
intended to be used on aircraft that are exempt from carrying a transponder
or ADS-B equipment such as gliders, balloons and aircraft without electrical
systems.
A TABS will allow these exempted aircraft to be visible to other aircraft
equipped with:
Traffic Advisory System (TAS) as defined in TSO-C147().
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System I (TCAS I) as defined in
TSO-C188().
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II (TCAS II) as defined
in TSO-C199d.
Aircraft with ADS-B In capability as defined in TSO-C154c, TSO-
C166b and TSO-195b.
