RAF Chinooks
« on: October 15, 2009, 04:54:29 PM »
An appeal really for someone in the know.
Fleetlands in Hampsire have won a contract to upgrade the RAFs Chinooks.
I gather that only a small number of the fleet carry Mode S, does anyone out there know if part of the upgrade is to install this equipment?

Thanks in advance

Most of the military aircraft have mode S but they dont use it always because they use mode A or C .
When you see military aircraft flying together most of the time only one aircraft is using mode s and the other are using A or C.
Al the update's for the chinooks are mentioned  on  the internet.
Netherlands chinooks do have mode S.

If it`s on the Chinooks should it be mode u/s.
