SSR transponder Mode S aircraft identification setting
Regulation (EU) 2024/404
(a) Aircraft equipped with Mode S having an aircraft identification feature shall transmit the aircraft identification as specified in Item 7 of the ICAO flight plan or, when no flight plan has been filed, the aircraft registration.
(b) Whenever it is observed on the situation display that the aircraft identification transmitted by a Mode S-equipped aircraft is different from that expected from the aircraft, the pilot shall be requested to confirm and, if necessary, re-enter the correct aircraft identification.
(c) If, following confirmation by the pilot that the correct aircraft identification has been set on the Mode S identification feature, the discrepancy continues to exist, the controller shall take the following actions:
(1) inform the pilot of the persistent discrepancy;
(2) where possible, correct the label showing the aircraft identification on the situation display; and
(3) notify the next control position and any other unit concerned using Mode S for identification purposes that the aircraft identification transmitted by the aircraft is erroneous.

SERA.13015 On-board aircraft
identification setting
(a) Aircraft
equipped with a Mode S or ADS-B transmitter that has an aircraft
identification feature shall transmit the aircraft identification as specified
in the flight plan or, when no flight plan has been filed, the aircraft
registration, unless the aircraft operator holds an approval from the
competent authority to use other than the aircraft registration as aircraft
identification for flights without a flight plan.
(b) Whenever it
is observed on the situation display that the aircraft identification
transmitted by an aircraft equipped with a Mode S or ADS-B transmitter is
different from that expected from the aircraft, the pilot shall be requested
to confirm and, if necessary, re-enter the correct aircraft identification.
(c) If,
following confirmation by the pilot that the correct aircraft identification
has been set on the Mode S or ADS-B transmitter identification feature, the
discrepancy continues to exist, the air traffic services unit shall take the
following actions:
(1) inform the pilot of the persistent discrepancy;
(2) where possible, correct the label showing the aircraft
identification on the situation display; and
(3) notify the next control position and any other unit concerned
using Mode S or ADS-B for identification purposes that the aircraft
identification transmitted by the aircraft is erroneous.
EASA aviation rules require aircraft with Mode S or ADS-B to transmit correct flight plan or registration identification. If discrepancies arise, pilots must verify and correct the setting. Air traffic control must inform the pilot, correct display labels, and notify relevant units about the identification error.
