Hi guys i was wondering if anyone could help me answer this question, i am not to sure about.
56.14.8 State the operational limits of Mode C readouts.
I know what mode c is but what would be the operational limits?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Cheers MDH

If you are looking for an answer for an ASL exam in NZ I think its +/- 200ft.

Got a reference for that?
Both because I recall it being +-200ft, but either way would love a reference to point to. It has been debated before when wondering what consititues a reportable altitude breach, and I remember we found an answer... but for the life of me can't remember where or what it was.

If anyone cares I found the answer while looking for other things. ENR 3.4.23 states that ATC will advise the pilot to check their altimeter setting if there is a difference of more than 200ft.
