1 General
Since Elementary Surveillance demands the Transmission of the Flight Identification (FID) by the transponders,
a Mode S ATC Controller is needed which allows setting the FID. Furthermore the two transponders have to be
modified as per Rockwell Collins Service Bulletin to enable the transmission of the FID.
For Enhanced Surveillance miscellaneous data is required from different equipment such as the Air Data
Computer, Flight Management System and the Attitude and Heading Reference System.
The two Rockwell Collins TDR-94D Transponders which provide Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance
functionality after modification will be controlled by a Rockwell Collins CTL-92E Mode S XPDR Controller.
The TDR-94D serves as a modem for data link, performance, navigation information and ATC transactions
between the aircraft and Mode S secondary surveillance radar, as demanded for Elementary and Enhanced
Surveillance functionality.
This installation and modification consists of following equipment:

The existing Rockwell Collins CTL-92 will be replaced at same position by a Rockwell Collins
CTL-92E Mode S XPDR Controller which is able to provide the FID.

The two Rockwell Collins TDR-94D transponders will be upgraded by Service Bulletins to enable the Mode S
Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance functionality.

The installation of new wires between the CTL-92T, CTL-92E and the two transponders will be
accomplished.

The installation of new wires to miscellaneous equipment as the ADC, FMS and the AHRS.

Revision A of this document covers the modifications necessary to comply with EASA AD 2009-0173 (Incorrect
transmission of Selected Altitude parameter) with respect to the Rockwell Collins TDR-94D transponder system.
AD 2009-0173 is applicable to aircraft with TDR-94D P/N 622-9210-007 (which has been previously installed
with this modification) that are interfaced with Honeywell Air Data Computers (ADC) AZ-800 or AZ-810 and
receive A429 label 102 Selected Altitude. The modification consists in modifying the existing transponders
according Rockwell Collins SB 509 to P/N 622-9210-410.

The signal flow is as follows: Tune labels for the CSDB bus of the CTL-92E are sent to the CTL-92T from pin S
and R on the CTL-92E. The tune labels are converted to ARINC 429 labels in the CTL-92T and sent back to the
CTL-92E via pins 4 and 5 on the CTL-92T.
The ARINC 429 output of the CTL-92T has the TCAS labels added to the tune labels. The CTL-92E then
receives the ARINC 429 labels on pins Y and L and adds the Flight ID labels. The ARINC 429 outputs from the
CTL-92E to the transponder contain the Tune, TCAS, and Flight ID labels.

2 Aircraft Interfaces
The two transponders are connected to the FMS and to the Attitude and Heading Reference System for
receiving EHS data.
The transponders are controlled by the CTL-92E and transmit/receive data from the CTL-92T.
Furthermore the transponders receive air data from the Air Data Computer.

3 Incorrect Transmission of Selected Altitude Parameter – EASA AD 2009-0173

A mismatch between the ARINC and GAMA specifications for the Selected Altitude in Motion Bit of label 102 in
certain Rockwell Collins TDR-94 transponders is causing incorrect transmission of the Mode-S EHS Selected
Altitude parameter. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to invalid Selected Altitude data being transmitted
to Mode S ground stations, creating disruptions in the Air Traffic Management process and potentially
compromising aircraft safety. For the reasons described above, this AD requires the modification or replacement
of the affected transponders and prohibits reinstallation of unmodified units. With Rev. A of this document, the
AD is considered by installing the appropriate dash number (-410). See also Rockwell Collins Service Bulletin
TDR-94D-34-509.
