Hi Gulfstreamaviator
WE can't see how much sugar you take in your coffee - yet...
In the LTMA we have mode "S" read out and if the aircraft is downloading all parameters then we can see the following:
The allocated Mode "A" squawk
The aircraft altitude
The heading that the aircraft is flying NOTE: not the heading selected.
The IAS from the ASI: NOT the speed selected
The Selected Flight Level from the autopilot
The rate of climb/descent of the aircraft
We cannot yet see the individual Mode "S" address of the airframe but that will come when everyone has mode "S"
AS far as I know we are the only unit worldwide that can see all these parameters. If I am wrong I am sure someone will tell us!
