Wasn't sure which section to put this in, but here it is ...  Is there a way to limit, or turn off, the squawk codes on IFD540 screen? * Orest |

No there isn't currently a means to do that but I'll add a new entry in the candidate feature database that covers it. I can see it as potentially a new entry to the map filter page for example. If we did that, you could select the map range (presumably a very close in range for your preference) at which the traffic tail number data would be displayed.

As a second observation, I haven't noticed an issue with the traffic information on the map page. I like to know the N number as it helps understand who ATC is talking to. The squawk code isn't nearly as useful. I will say, that I have been able to identify and track down an aircraft that departed into me as I was landing by using the N number displayed on the 540 as I executed a go around. Nice to have.

Well, maybe it won't be an issue, but nice to have the setting.
I have yet to see a tail number shown, and the squawks are infrequent. * Orest |

Interesting. I have seen tail numbers, not sure if I seen squawks. To be clear, I have certainly seen some targets with no squawk codes. Edited by fritz - 02 Jan 2015 at 10:46am |

The tail numbers are infrequent and the squawks are even less so. Most of the time it is just a target with altitude difference from my aircraft. I think only Mode S and ADS-B equipped aircraft will provide tail numbers. I don't know what triggers the Squawk code display though.
