The incidence of Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) Mode C pressure altitude encoding faults of the type caused by stuck/shorted C bits has been investigated amongst aircraft in UK airspace transmitting the SSR Mode A Conspicuity Codes 4321 and 4322. Combining a recently measured frequency for similar Mode C faults among non-Conspicuity Code aircraft (0.44%) with presently measured frequencies of SSR plots and Mode C faults for Conspicuity Code aircraft leads to estimates of the overall frequency for stuck/shorted C bit faults ranging from 0.49% for the airspace covered by the Civil Aviation Authority Heathrow Tower radar to 0.70% for similar equipment at Debden. Great Britain. (FR)
