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".
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.
As far as I know, ATC sees tail/callsign, destination, groundspeed, altitude, and aircraft type. I reached out to a controller friend on the squawk code part of the question. I’ll get back to you.
I copied your question to a controller. This is his reply summarized. Normally, they do not see the squawk code, but they could have the squawk code displayed on the scope if they chose to do so for a particular airplane, or for all aircraft on the scope. However, if the wrong squawk code is entered by the pilot, that code will be displayed in the data block on the scope, and the code they were assigned will be in parenthesis (correct code).
There are more discrete codes. That might be one of them. There is a code used for drones that are to be forcefully removed from the sky by rocket propelled means.

7000 is the ICAO VFR squawk code and is used in almost all countries except USA, Canada and Australia.
@@jasonbirnie977 Thank you. Having looked it up, New Zealand also uses 1200 for VFR.
Great video! Just what you need to know.
This video is more important for those people who work in aviation.
You don't say. I thought it was geared toward cobblers and bakers.
Helped me a lot!!! Thank you so much :D
I've always wondered about that reply light!
Back in my student pilot days, I remember asking my instructor why that light keeps flashing.
@@thecorporatepilotdad and at such seemingly random intervals!
That was cool! ..informative 😀👍
Nice!

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

@@thecorporatepilotdad yeah don't give me that one.
0000 is usually military
isnt there 10 digits ? why are only 7 digits usable?
0 through 7. 8 digits.
My maths telling me its 9*9*9*9 combinations, but i am not a pilot ;D
Each position can display numbers between 0 and 7 for a total of 8 digits for each of the 4 positions.
The animation when transponder shows 8888 fooled me 😂
Please speak in hindi.
Da-da-da-da.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH what it means.
You would think Mode-A would be the one that would give altitude information. That would make too much sense.
