A listener on frequencies reported the crew advised ATC that they had lost both transponders and were no longer RVSM capable. ATC however could not clear the aircraft for a descent to FL280 out of RVSM airspace due to uncertainty about the current position and an Air France Airbus A320-200 registration F-GKXH performing flight AF-1274 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Oslo (Norway) enroute at FL370 below the Embraer. Radar contact was re-established in Norwegian Airspace and the aircraft continued normally to Oslo.
Mode-S data transmitted by the aircraft were missing on all available receivers between 20:07 and 20:14Z. Other aircraft, transmitting purely on Mode-S without ADS-B, operating in the same area at around the same time remained visible however verifying that the loss of contact was not due to outage of one or more receivers and thus corroborating the report The Aviation Herald received by the listener on frequencies.
The aircraft was scheduled to overnight in Oslo and departed for its scheduled return flight KL-1140 the following morning on schedule after about 9 hours on the ground.
