I have been trying to figure out what code to use based on my onboard equipment. I have a Garmin 396 with XM weather, Mode C and the applicable charts.
Do I use /U for Xponder with Mode C
or
Can I substitute the Garmin 396 as a Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) and use /A?
I know that a standard DME measures slant range and that GPS measures actual distance. Just don?t know if the substitution is acceptable or not.
Below are some of the codes
NO DME
/X No transponder
/T Transponder with no Mode C
/U Transponder with Mode C
DME
/D No transponder
/B Transponder with no Mode C
/A Transponder with Mode C
