Product Description

The 42540-4228 is an encoding altimeter that displays barometric altitude and transmits pressure altitude data to Mode C/S transponders via Gillham code for ATC reporting. This instrument integrates with the aircraft's pitot-static system to provide real-time altitude information required for radar identification and separation. Installation involves wiring to the transponder interface and performing pitot-static system leak checks per the aircraft maintenance manual.

Essential for IFR operations and airspace compliance where altitude reporting is mandated.
