Hi all

Did anyone read off the Apache today was showing as ZM704 but could be a miscode for ZM713

Thanks

Good Evening,
According to adsb ZM704 left Leeming 18:00 as AAC319 direct to Wattisham landing 19:37
As for the mode S accuracy best to keep an eye on the Middle Wallop/Wattisham threads as potential Apache mis-codes are discussed from time to time as a/c transit up and down the country and serials are reported during their fuel stop, usually the only time they can be checked [;o)
The mode S trace on Radar box for ZM704 as 43C932 confirmed the track given above for AAC319
Hopefully someone will confirm a sighting soon for you to ensure accuracy
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Paul

Thanks Keith and Dave,
Assuming only one a/c went South from Leeming then ZM713 displays as ZM704
It prompts the question, where is the real ZM704 and what mode S does it use - if indeed it does appear on trackers ?
Looks like we need to apply caution to the new fleet mode 'S' i.d.'s per the originals [;o)
Best regards,
Paul

Beware of ZM723 too as it shows on trackers as ZM724 :- viewtopic.php?f=16&t=247487&p=1620326&h ... 4#p1620326
