SQUAWK codes are four digits and they are used to easily identify a specific aircraft when detected on a radar, or to determine what an aircraft needs in the case of an emergency or situation in which a flight plan needs to be changed.
What does squawk 2000 mean?
The purpose of squawk code 2000 is to prevent aircraft entering a Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) area from transmitting a code that is the same as a discrete code assigned by ATC to an individual aircraft. If you are flying in the USA under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), you will be assigned (implicitly) code 1200.
What are the 3 emergency squawk codes?
- 7500 – Hijacking.
- 7600 – Lost radio/communications.
- 7700 – General Emergency (Engine Failure, Medical Emergencies, etc) Simple enough right?
