Turkey Claims Chopper Carrying Iran President Ebrahim Raisi Lacked or Didn’t Activate Signal System

The helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian may have been due to a missing or deactivated transponder, according to an initial investigation by the Turkish rescue team that located the wreckage.

The transponder, whether it was working or not, or even fitted for that matter, had absolutely nothing to do with the accident.

[@CCLow-jr7um]

You ate absolutely right. Erdogan doesn't know what he is talking about. He is speaking rubbish as usual. Transponder is a satellite tracking device. It receives signals and transmit back signals in response. It has got nothing to do with the navigation of aircraft.

[@Imaan815]

Totally agree mysterious speculations 😮

[@TR_Emeritus]

Yes, but it will track the flight and can locate the chopper during an emergency, no?

[@brodricj3023]

@@TR_Emeritus The transponder relies on a ground radar station to work. If the helicopter is within ground radar range then yes it is being tracked with the aid of the transponder. If not, then no. My guess is they were not in range of ground radar immediately before the accident, therefore the transponder would not have been of any assistance in locating the helicopter.

[@CCLow-jr7um]

@@TR_Emeritus It's not the cause of the crash. It doesn't interfere with navigation systems. Transponder is like a radio, receives signal and sends back confirmation signals in response. It is a tracker so that flight controller at station know where the assigned flight number is. All commercial and passenger planes are required to have have transponders on them. Not mandatory for small private planes.

[@petma5551]

Facts 😊

[@53roger]

Do your background investigations before publishing the story. The transponder can be on or off or not installed and it has no affect on the operation of the helicopter. It is simply another radio in an aircraft that (depending on the model) automatically broadcasts aircraft parameters ( speed, altitude, tail number, etc)
