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.
