Показать описание
Ever wonder why a transponder is called a 4096 code transponder? This video will explain why and also show basic squawk codes as well as the difference between Mode A, Mode C, and why transponder codes are changed during flight.

The basic functions of the transponder are given as well as changes from Air Traffic Control (ATC) that a pilot could encounter such as changing squawk codes enroute.

This video is for entertainment purposes only. Always refer to aircraft and avionics manuals of specific equipment installed for proper transponder operation.

Here in the UK (and I'm sure in other countries), 7000 is the VFR code and 2000 is for IFR. If ATC wants you to squawk either of those, they'll tell you to "Squawk conspicuity", meaning you squawk whichever is appropriate according to the rules you're flying under. The reply from the pilot is "Squawk conspicuity".

This video is more important for those people who work in aviation.

I am confused. I read that the squawk code is seen on the radar screens to identify the aircraft but every image I see of a radar screen shows only the Call Sign, altitude and speed. Or is the squawk code only seen in standby mode. I would appreciate any information on this.

Whoever gets code 0000 for the day should win a lottery.

You would think Mode-A would be the one that would give altitude information. That would make too much sense.
