QUERY:N202FR A320 Frontier No US Flag
« on: December 02, 2008, 10:36:34 PM »
Hi,

Just picked up N202FR A320 Frontier, code 503147.

All populated okay but there is no US flag displayed, it is blank.

First one I have picked up that has done this.

Any reasons why.

Thanks

Mike.

If you check the Mose-S code in Airframes.org, you'll see that it's a wrong'un - the aircraft's code should be A199FE.

503147 isn't a valid identifier - hence no flag.

Any reasons why.

N202FR's ICAO 24-bit address is 50314776 (octal) or A199FE (hexadecimal).  Its transponder has been incorrectly programmed using the first 6 digits of the octal address instead of the hex one - not the first time this has happened.
