Our trainer enables trainees to get hands-on experience on transponder systems. The trainer ensures practical training with original aircraft transponder equipment configured to bring real-life experience to the training environment. Our design provides trainees with a good understanding of transponder equipment and a methodical approach for troubleshooting and testing procedures. We understand and tailor according to our customers’ training needs.

The trainer is delivered plug and play and comes with necessary antennas, transmitters, receivers, wiring, and indicators.
