ADS-B troubles

[Taracka]

So yesterday I installed a SkyBeacon on my M20C.  The first test flight failed requiring an adjustment to the transponder monitor threshold. The second flight passed, at least I think so since there were no red flagged areas in the PAPR report.  The problem is apparently I requested the report from the wrong redirect and it didn’t email me a GAIRS report.  Since there are no humans at the FAA it sounds like I’ll be waiting a while to resolve this.  Any ideas???

I forgot to mention.  I also went to the correct site and reattempted request with the same result, no GAIRS report.

Got any pics or screenshots?

No but I could describe.

You need to request the report via the rebate site and not the public report site.   Form is the same but it’s the only way to get the rebate incentive.  I made the same mistake.   Edited to add that I did t read your 2nd post.

I’ve been using the rebate site to do the ADS-B validation. What is the public report site? I’m generating rebate codes every time I test it.

I requested it via the rebate site after the other site and it still didn’t work.  It will only give me the PAPR report.  It’s like the first site screwed up the system somehow.

I "no kidding" made the same mistake this week and had to do a google search to figure out what I did wrong. 

I followed this link the 2nd time - filled in the same info and got the GAIRS report.

If it is just an IT issue...hopefully you won't have to wait for govt funding...

I had sent an email to the address indicated on the website and got an automated reply which included the same link you just gave.  I tried it yesterday and still no GAIRS report.  Repeating the flight and submitting correctly the first time may be easier than dealing with this error.

I did one for my plane and got all the reports.  Not sure why it works sometimes and not others

I did mine about 10 days ago and had to make the same adjustments as you.  I passed on the 3rd try and now my "check is in the mail".  The FAA promptly responded to me at ADSBRebateHelp@FAA.gov.  Good luck!

Can you be more specific about the adjustments you had to make?

[Taracka]

Transponder monitor threshold is a setting in advanced settings.  It is default set at 42 percent but in some cases is needs to be adjusted to work with some transponders.

I spoke with Uavionix tech support today.  They reviewed my PAPR report and confirmed it was perfect and they indicated it was a technical problem on the FAA end.  They sent a review request to the FAA contractor help desk and will hopefully succeed in getting a GAIRS generated.

Might be able to sell some of those rebate codes.

Never fear, the Feds took care of it for me!

Thanks,  but what did you have to set yours to, and what transponder do you have? Looking for data points...
