7777 is the transponder code for fighter jets carrying out an “active air defense mission”, i.e. an emergency interception.
Code 7700. This is the code for a general emergency. 7700 can be entered into the transponder for a variety of reasons, and some of the most common include medical emergencies, engine failure, problems with pressurization or landing gear, issues with flight control, and more.
Three transponder codes are reserved for unusual/emergency situations: - 7700 for general emergencies. - 7600 for loss of communication (radio failure). - 7500 for hijacking or other unlawful interference.
Code 7400 may be displayed by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) when the control link between the aircraft and the pilot is lost. Lost link procedures are programmed into the flight management system and associated with the flight plan being flown. When you observe a Code 7400 display, do the following: a.
Transponder Squawk Codes You Should Know
0000 — A generic code that is not assigned and should not be used. 1200 — VFR aircraft. The default code for all flights–if you aren't asked to set anything else, you should set 1200. 7500 — Hijacking. 7600 — Voice radio failure.
The process which is depicted in movies and TV is an escort by military aircraft, but other things happen such as authorities waiting upon arrival. Squawking 7500 signifies an aircraft being hijacked and could result in an aircraft being escorted by military forces.
The squawk code 7500 is an emergency code used by pilots to inform ATC of a plane hijacking taking place, which means that the pilots have either been forced to change course or are no longer in control of the aircraft.
Series 20 — Code 2000 is to recognize an aircraft that has not received instructions from the air traffic control units to operate the transponder.
Squawking 7700 in an emergency
Reserved codes are used in particular situations when an aircraft wants to communicate something to ATC urgently. The most well know of these is the code 7700. This is used to indicate an emergency of any kind.
For example, "1200" in the USA means that the flight is flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and is not typically in direct contact with ATC. "1200" is a shared code so you may see many aircraft transmitting it at the same time in a given area.
This alerts ATC that the aircraft is declaring an emergency and does not have an operable radio.
7600 is the squawk code reserved for aircraft that have suffered a radio communication failure. By setting this code, you will alert air traffic control that you cannot utilize voice communication.
Angel number 777 means that there are new beginnings ahead and repeating numbers 7777 means that you'll be given the tools you need to unlock your inner wisdom.
Transponder codes
This allows easy identification of aircraft on radar. Codes are made of four octal digits; the dials on a transponder read from zero to seven, inclusive. Four octal digits can represent up to 4096 different codes, which is why such transponders are sometimes described as "4096 code transponders."
Some common squawk codes and their meanings include: Squawk 7000: This is the 'conspicuity code' for VFR aircraft that are not assigned a specific code by ATC. Squawk 2000: This is the 'conspicuity code' for IFR aircraft that are not assigned a specific code by ATC.
Code 4000 should be assigned when aircraft are operating on a flight plan specifying frequent or rapid changes in assigned altitude in more than one stratum or other category of flight not compatible with a discrete code assignment.
- WHAT ABOUT SSR CODE 1000? Mode S conspicuity code A1000 can be assigned to aircraft with mode S capability flying in airspaces able to correlate flight plan information using aircraft ID instead of a discrete 4 digit mode A code.
* 1177. London Control (Swanwick) FIS (Refer to ENR 1.6, paragraph 2.2.2.2 and note 7) * 1200. NATO – CAOC Uedem (activated by NOTAM via ASACS Force Command) 1201 — 1277.
What does the phrase "squawk 3456" mean? Set 3456 on the SSR transponder and press the special identification button. Set 3456 on the SSR transponder. Set 3456 on the SSR transponder and press the test button to ensure the functionality of the device. Standby on frequency 345.6Mhz.
The frequencies are 121.5 MHz for civilian, also known as International Air Distress (IAD) or VHF Guard, and 243.0 MHz—the second harmonic of VHF guard—for military use, also known as Military Air Distress (MAD) or UHF Guard.
The first emergency code that you may have become familiar with is Squawk 7500. This code is used to indicate that the aircraft has been hijacked, and therefore requires urgent emergency support from both security services and air traffic control.
Gray: The flight is scheduled and there isn't an additional status available. Green: The flight is estimated to be on time or arrived at time. Orange: The flight is estimated to be delayed or was delayed.

Visual flight rules (VFR) at or below 12,500 feet above sea level (ASL): Mode A, Code 1200, plus Mode C. VFR above 12,500 feet ASL: Mode A, Code 1400, plus Mode C. Instrument flight rules (IFR) in low-level airspace: Mode A, Code 1000, plus Mode C.
