Default ADSB

Come on guys. It isn’t that hard.

Pull out the release hold it in your left hand. With your now corrected to 20/20 vision eyes look at your RTU by your right thigh. Then take said eyes and look at your release. Now ask yourself this question “do these two things match?” If no make them match. To do that you take your right hand and spin the knob until it matches. Then you ask yourself “does there need to be a space between the ASH and the flight number?” Then you remember step number 1 and repeat it to discover that there isn’t actually a space on the release between the two. And if you accidentally put a space in there it doesn’t actually match, so then you get to do it again and just keep trying until it does. It really isn’t that hard.

Ejet guys y’all are on your own I have no idea where it is for you.

That’s beyond the “basic duties” (According to him) of a FO..also..I’m curious..what is rocket surgery? Is that a new field? Perhaps a combo of brain surgery and rocket science..🤔

He is cleverly demonstrating that accurately inputting the ADSB code ranks just above mixing metaphors in complexity.

ATC doesn't care about it, otherwise a simple "recycle transponder" instruction would fix the problem 10 times out of 10, just like with incorrect codes. Occasionally I'll hear inquiries from pilots over the radio to verify ADSB is working and the controllers' responses lead me to believe that ADSB info is not shown on their scopes by default.

Excellent instructions, I just have one question. How do I tell which thigh is my right or left? I always get them mixed up!

Bump because come on guys. It’s really not brain surgery. If this is honestly hard for you it’s time to find a new line of work.
