The front wheel of a modern aircraft is normally triggering a signal to the transponder to switch between 0 altitude (ground) and real altitude when the front wheel lifts from ground. The take off signal was triggered a couple of minutes after braking when speed was 0, so it was probably the heat from the brakes in the front wheel that generated a incorrect take off signal to the transponder.<img src="https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11990451_951146544924769_8486883219502863645_n.png?oh=4a723c17f50058aba4011fe7a26780c2&oe=566BCB13" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10987368_951158414923582_6460309246697544442_n.png?oh=355821e0787da9bfec5fd623da9a76da&oe=5673A1D5" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Flightradar24.com</blockquote>
