As I understand it, the CAA is making my Microair mode a/c  

transponder redundant before it's had chance to fly. Can anyone tell  

me if a mode S transponder antenna  would be the same - we have the  

microair stub antenna mounted on a silvered 'CD size' ground pane.

Paul, At the Glos strut last night the EC rep said that the CAA are having

serious second thoughts about the mode S introduction rules, and that there

is the likelihood that those with existing mode C will be allowed to carry

on flying outside high grade airspace for some years to come. There was also

thought to be the possibility of similar 'grandfather rights ' being

extended to those builders who have already bought a mode C transponder. The

downside is that you might not be able to fly to a number of European

countries. When I got my Garmin 328  mode S, I was told it could simply use

my existing aerial.

As far as I understand Mode S operation it uses the same frequencies  

and so the same antenna should suffice.
