The "blip" still shows up on all radar. The transponder just gives the "blip" the aircrafts altitude. The transponder code assigned by atc allows them to keep track of the plane and keep it unique amongst the others.Originally posted by Strychnine View PostTurning off a transponder might make them go "dark" on an ATC screen but military radar would still see it, right?
Speed, heading, and descent rate are all calculated by the motion of the "blip" on the radar.

If i'm not mistaken most air traffic radars can be very inaccurate compared to the transponders. I know the mid air collision that happened over Columbia several years ago was caused in part by the embraer jet turning off it's transponder, and the air traffic switched to radar to track it and showed massive inaccurate changes in altitude, air speed, and location."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
