The transponder shows the planes info to the tower?


It shows their info to everyone with a IFF receiver. Shows Position, Altitude, Speed, Mode/Code (which for aircraft its mode 3 followed by their 4 digit code).

They could have another way, Im just not aware of it. I know thats the primary way to ID airplanes.

Anyone can monitor ads-b transmissions with a $20 usb rtlsdr dongle. Really neat stuff.
