Abstract:
A transponder lock provides allows an aircraft transponder to continue transmitting an alerting code for the duration of an emergency. The transponder lock thereby enables the aircraft transponder to continue to provide crucial information to ground tracking stations. Installation of the transponder lock results in very little aircraft downtime because the transponder lock connects in-line with existing aircraft wiring.
