Early prototype tests suggested that the siting of the transponder was not ideal, and that having to land to squawk standby was operationally a little restrictive.

"The thing is" said Brian "we've used a lots of COTS software in this aircraft, which has brought the price down by 50%. Occaisionally Microsoft Windows for Warplanes (TM) needs to be re-booted. To prevent the pilot pushing the button by mistake we've put it here."

Half bonus point for mbga9pgf, Double points for smartase C-bert. It is indeed a pre-production Dave. Another bonus point for what bit it is (should be easy).
