effte Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I just put in 1200 for Mode 3/A and stay VFR. ...and in US airspace? ;) Bet you are eagerly awaiting the re-release of Nevada! ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
LostOblivion Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Is it not squawk 7000 for VFR these days? 1200 is the legacy squawk. Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW
doright Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Is it not squawk 7000 for VFR these days? 1200 is the legacy squawk. I obviously will need a lot of study if (when) I ever start flying again. But since I live in the States 1200 is still legit. I did look up some transponder codes: 0000: Military escort (in the US), suspected transponder failure (in the UK) 0001: Military code for high speed uncontrolled (non ATC directed) flight (US) 1200: Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight, this is the standard code used in North American airspace when no other has been assigned 7000: VFR standard code for most European airspace 7001: Sudden military climb out from low level operations (UK) 7004: Aerobatic and display code 7700: Emergency 7600: Lost Communications 7500: Hijack (Unlawful Interference) 7777: Military interception (US/FAA) I would have a hard time applying codes 0001 and 7001 to the A10. I asked a guy in the soaring club once why he kept his transponder on but not his radio. This high time former Navy pilot and civilian test pilot told me that he wanted them to know he was there but if you contacted air traffic control that they treated their name as an imperative. 1
AlphaOneSix Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 If I remember correctly, the U.S. military uses "5xxx" for transponder codes overseas.
effte Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 That list is a bit un-precise. 7000 is not Europe but ICAO. I e worldwide, for all ICAO member states, unless they have filed a deviation. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
