The transponder shows the planes info to the tower? Flight number and other vitals? Alt, speed, etc?
With it off they have no idea where the plane is besides radar?
Transponders are part of the secondary radar system. Primary radar has limits and outside ATC beacon radar, the transponder is the source of tracking. The transponder shows altitude. There were some links posted, but probably buried in this thread.
