Not contradicting, fishing for info
seems I was lucky,
So if what you say is correct, the a/c took off with its both SSR INOP , so with no TCAS either, was cleared into RVSM airspace and provided with 2000ft sep all the way, the Canadians later accepted this situation but the Icelandic did not and a/c was desecended to 270 below RVSM. Later the Norwegians refused the a/c with no transponder in their airspace. Am I getting warmer ?
The ATC situation aside, if both SSR were INOP on dep the chances that the problem was an electrical one , as opposed to avionics failure, is high.
So back to electrical issues.
