Pilots N Paws®
is an online meeting place for pilots and
other volunteers
who help to transport rescue animals by air. The mission of the site is to provide a user- friendly communication venue between those that rescue, shelter, and foster animals; and pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of these animals.
A general aviation transport
requires just one pilot volunteer
and is far more efficient and
dependable than time-consuming ground transportation for these animals who are often in danger of euthanization. Volunteer pilots retain complete authority of their planning and flights, and can give as much or as little time as they like. Flights are tax deductible 501c3.
SIMPLE AS 1-2-3
No bothersome paperwork required! If you love to fly, and you love animals, please join us now! It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s extremely rewarding. Joining is easy and takes just
a minute of your time.

to verify the part number of the transponders installed. If you do not have the listed part number installed no further action is required.
If you have transponders with the applicable part number installed, a review of your current wiring diagrams or a physical inspection of the aircraft wiring will determine if the changes detailed in the Collins SIL need to be taken. The excerpt below from the SIL details the strapping that would be present for each code.

As delivered from the factory, all of the Pro Line 2 and Pro Line 21 King Air models equipped with these transponders were strapped to code of 0 with no connections to connector P1 pins 20, 21 or 22. This can be verified by the lack of any wiring references to those pins in the transponder wiring diagram manual 34-55-01 and 34-55-02 on Pro Line 21 aircraft and the individual serial specific transponder wiring diagrams for earlier aircraft. We do not show unused pins on most of the drawings so their absence indicates that they are not used. If the transponders are still strapped to code 0 no further action is required as the issue discussed in the AD will not be applicable when configured to a code of 0. If your installation’s strapping has been changed to a code 2 through 6, you will need to follow the directions in the SIL to reconfigure the strapping. If you have any further questions concerning the inspection please contact Textron Aviation customer support at 800-429-5372, 316-517-9355 or by email at teamturboprop@txtav.com.
