Dear friends and followers,welcome back to my channel! Today's video will all be about "WHAT IS A SQUAWK CODE, and what is it good for?"
As you get your IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) departure clearance, the ATC controller will give you a pre assigned four decimal code. After acknowledging the clearance you use the little numbered keyboard on your transponder to enter the give four decimal code and depending on your airline or airport procedure you set the transponder to the AUTO position. Meaning your transponder is set and ready to transmit that code and that code you´ve just set that´s the so called squawk code.
So as take off, and the transponder comes fully active you turn up on the ATC controllers radar screen, but it won´t just be a blip indicating your airplane is in the air, it will also show the 4 digit squawk code, your current altitude plus your callsign. As you are now under radar control, the ATC controller can also look up your flight plan, so he knows where you´re flying to, the amount of passengers, crew, and fuel you have on board, and much more.
Now depending on the airplane size and manufacturer, the transponder can come in different modes. For instance, little Cessnas or other smaller aircraft within the General Aviation category don´t necessarily need a transponder which transmits the airplanes´ altitude. Therefore a mode“Alfa" transponder will do the job, meaning it will only transmit the airplanes position and squawk code.
But be aware the places where you can fly without an altitude reporting transponder are becoming less and less.
To be on the safer side, your plane has to have a Mode "Charlie" transponder which transmits the planes´ position and its barometric altitude and squawk code. Obviously, those are a little bit more expensive, but the ATC controllers and other pilots benefit from investment and adding a TCAS system to it, you´ll feel a whole lot safer when flying around on weekends where the airspace is packed with weekend warriors.
And as just shown before a mode Sierra transponder, which is above all other transponder modes and can also be used for data link messaging.
But more to see within the video.
The preset codes you have to memorize for are
7500 Hijacking
Seven Five - Man with a knife
7600 Loss of communications
Seven Six I need my radio fixed
7700 Emergency
Seven Seven - I´m falling from heaven
The follow up video about the Transponder and it´s buttons and switches will follow soon.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

or Hi Jack, Can't hear you, Help.
I remember a story from my flying days, years before 9/11. A fellow student was flying somewhere at 7,500 feet altitude. He was a little inexperienced with ATC, and so when he was asked to "squawk altitude" he just thought, oh, they want my altitude on the transponder!
His flight was otherwise non-eventful until he landed and got met by people with badges.
I bet he spent some time reading the FAR/AIM after that.

You know Airforceproud 95 is flying when a glider has 7500
"Callsign Sandwich here, coming in a glider, both engines have failed. Requesting Mayday on runway 22L. Squawk 7500."
iPelaaja1 best part is that the ATC denied it without realising that he's in a fuckin glider
Winterfell 7102 Now I can't help but wonder if Joe has seen any of his videos, or if AFP95 has seen any of Joe's videos....
Cant have much of a hijack on a glider when you have a dual engine failure.

Then you probably shoudn't be a pilot if you have a criminal record :-)
I was watching an AirForceProud video and didn't see what the big deal was when they were in a flight sim game and the ATC told them to change their Squawk code to 7500. Now I do.

Hello Captain Joe, I'm an Brazilian ACC ATCO, also a big fan of your job and here we use a different way to memorize the emergency squawk codes. We use the "ICE" initials, meaning:
7500 - Illicit interference;
7600 - Communication failure
7700 - Emergency
When you have the opportunity to fly within my airspace, send me a note and maybe if I'm at work, maybe I can give you a more direct route inbound your destination. See ya!!
i didnt know luigi flew airplanes.
Captain Joe is always a pleasure watching :)
He is! But I miss the "Spread za verrrrd!" as his sign off back when he had a bit more of an accent.

I heard a story from a different video about a student pilot who was flying at 7,500ft and was given the instruction to squawk altitude. Not understanding what that meant, he set his transponder code to 7500.
That must've been one hell of a heavy day after he landed!
Did the air force go after them?
So what does it mean to 'squawk altitude'?
I'm not a pilot so my answer is subject to correction, but I think it means to set a Mode C transponder, to transmit altitude information instead of just position indication.
I heard a story .....I heard a story ....
Thumbs up for more than 1 video per week.

Love your channel Captain. Great information delivered in way that's easy to understand! Please keep it up.
Great video as always! Many years ago, my friend and I flew in a Cessna 152 that lost electrical over Seattle. I remember him setting the transponder to 7600 since we lost radio. We had to watch for tower signal lights. Other than that, we flew VFR regularly and transponder set at 1200.
Could you explain more about standby duty in one of your videos?
yes, please!
think he's done one before, but basically it's being on call.
Standby means Stand by we might call if we need you and be nearby so you can come to work. Or it means be at the airport dressed and ready to fly and sit around waiting to see if you are needed. We never had airport standby at our airline. But they could still get you while at the airport and reassign us to a different flight. They would do this to cover a flight departing soon if your flight was a little later and then they had time to bring in someone to cover the flight you were to fly.

75 - IRA wants to drive
76 - I hear nix and need a radio fix

Thanks @Captain Joe! Your lessons are so good!
I've just discovered your channel and I'm loving it. I am hoping you can answer something I've always wondered. On 9/11 one issue ground people had was that the high jacked planes had their transponders turned off. This of course made it more difficult to track them. I am curious why the option to turn the transponder off even exists. Thanks Joe keep it up I am loving learning this stuff.
Joe: *Does video titled squawk code*
Also Joe: *Insert a video thumbnail stabbing the word*
This is all so interesting. Thank you for explaining so well. Cheers!
Joe --- Your explanations are very clear -- I love it.. Please do a video on what ADS-B is, what info it moves, and how the common guy on the ground can participate with a proper ADS-B receiver....
I have a suggestion: Positions of aircraft, correlating with the airport runways such as Downwind, Base, and Crosswind?
Express Jet yes that confuses me
Fly left/right traffic, I understand the struggle. :(
It's the circuit pattern that GA VFR pilots fly in order to land in an airport. These terms are thrown around in other larger planes and IFR approaches as well if the airport has a circle-to-land approach (the crazy hard type of approach where the pilot uses a timer), or an IFR approach pattern that sort of re-assembles a circuit.
1. Departure leg- the part where you climb straight out of a runway
2. Crosswind leg- 90 degrees left/right of the departure leg, and you fly away from the runway. It's called crosswind because you take off into the wind in the departure leg, and when you turn 90 degrees the wind will go from the front to your side.
3. Downwind leg- parallel to the runway, 180 degrees from the direction you took off. You also keep a visual reference to the runway for your turn to base.
4. Base leg- 90 degrees turn from the downwind leg towards the runway.
5. Final- final turn from base towards the glideslope, and you go in for a landing.
In the United States, the direction of turn is usually left, but in some airports it's right due to terrain restrictions and stuff like that. The direction of the turn in the circuit could be checked on your VFR sectional chart, as well as looking at the hooks from a painted, round symbol on the ground which lies directly below the windsock. If you are flying into a controlled airport, the ATC might tell you.
Base leg is not toward the runway, it is perpendicular to it. But yes, the order for an approach is usually downwind, turn onto base, and then turn onto final
I was taught "ICE"
I - Interference
C - Communication
E - Emergency
All you need to know is that it is 7500, 7600 and 7700 and ICE helps you remember the order
Capt Joe, excellent video to keep us grounded retirees in touch with the terminology used in these videos.
I love the personal touches interjected in them. Az Viking from Copenhagen!
Since i subbed to your channel i knew aviation was somewhow complex but not to that point. I'm learning new stuff in every of your videos. Thanks for keeping us educated.
Great channel. You should keep doing more of this! The A320 in the simulator was much easier to u destand thanks to you. Great work.

But it's interesting, tho~

Kudos to whoever designed the Captain Joe Logo. If it was you, then I think you have multiple callings. And obviously, thank you for the Squawk info.
I like the way you explain and tips for remembering using a simple sentence
Excellent video, i wonder how a pilot would dial 7500 when someone has hijacked their plane?
Mark Jones It's the most stealth way to let ATC know about the situation. Better than yelling through the radio that you're being hijacked. Then the hijackers will cut your neck straight away. If you cannot push 5 buttons than there is just no way to get help.
Derek As if hijackers are going to require you to confirm every single button you press to fly the thing.
Nowadays it's pretty hard to gain access to the cockpit in a commercial airliner. And in case of a hijacker present in the cockpit, they may not know about this squawk code and depending on circumstances a pilot may be able to input this code surreptitiously. It's an alternative way of conveying very important information without alerting those around you by blabbing it in your mic.
Thanks guys i know a bit more now, Captain Joe knows everything.
I would guess cabin crew would have some way of alerting the flight crew if such an incident was taking place. Once alerted in advance by cabin crew the pilot could then key in the code before any possible breach of the flight deck by hijackers. Flight decks/cockpits (particularly after 9/11) have better security with stronger doors which is now procedure to have them shut during flight.
This was a great video I'm trying to get into a flight attendant job any recommendations on wat airlines I should apply for
AIR. NIKE530 what country do you live in
I heard United Airlines has open positions
Just amazing...... keep it up..... every word to appreciate you will fall short....
Great video Joe,as always very informative.
There should be a squawk code to announce that you've just joined the "mile high club" with the stewardess. Maybe "6969".........
Try 6600, there is no "9".

Can you explain the trim? Cant find Any good videos on that topic
Lucky trim is just a way to maintain pitch to stay at a speed. its easier than always having to use pressure on the yoke
Lucky trim you are just changing the angle of the rear wings, or elevators.
The yoke/stick should rarely need any input to maintain the vessel's trajectory. The problem is if your altitude or indicated airspeed (i.e. wind) changes for whatever reason, the control surfaces will need to be adjusted to continue to maintain the desired trajectory. Input to the yoke/stick/pedals will thus be required. Trim is then adjusted to re-center the controls so that they no longer require any pressure to maintain trajectory.
Drishal MAC2 WTF!? The Trim Doesn't Control The Roll!!!!!
There Is One For The Pitch, Which Is The Common One, And Anther One For The Yaw!!!!!
Ivansky1 there is also one for the airlerons
Great rhymes/sayings to remember the squark codes of most importance! I will remember them well!
Brilliant video captain Joe ! Loved it !
Thanks Joe, I didn't know the hijacking code, let's hope I never see it on flightradar 24, happy flying my friend and look forward to your next video....
Rob, there are some things you never see on FR24. I believe certain planes are actually blocked for VIP sensitivity reasons.
Captain Joe, you are simply stunning in appearance, and adorably charming. It’s always a joy watching your videos.
I've always been interested and respected aviation. The last few weeks I've really been getting into learning the codes and lingo. This video was the best bit of info in a short amount of time. There was quite a bit of codes I never understood but now do. Thanks.
That was informative, this will come in good use in the near future when I become a pilot
Who else can't understand a heck in the radio communications? They are so fast and unclear....
Raidzor つ ◕_◕ つ i agree but you get used to it😉
Raidzor つ ◕_◕ つ I couldn't at first but I listened to the live ATC before I started my flight training. It is also easier to hear over the headsets.
basically it is typically instructions on how to turn the planes in mid flight or on the ground at say KSFO or KJFK the flight crews could alert the ATC to wherever they decided to stop say not to roll onto an active runway or to report a fire that an air operations driver started runwayside to aid clear weather navigation. does anyone know if runway turf patch fires is innately risky to oncoming arrivals?
It's like doctors' writing. If you work in the field, you'd learn to catch just the important stuff.

Great job Joe, enjoying all your series.
What is the different between the ATCRBS code and the SQUAWK code?
Hey captain joe, Where do captains eat? If they eat in the cockpit is the Instruments waterproof? What if someone spills someone all over the panels lol
On most planes you have a tray and you put it on your lap and eat your meal and get real tired of the food. I did it that way for 30 years. Most things will survive some spills but some times they fail. Important things are hard to kill with a coffee or soda spill. We did not put our liquids on the center pedestal for a reason. But it did happen.
My mom: Go learn a bit
Me: Okay mom!!
*Watches Cpt. Joe* :D
I love this guy! Great explanation --- As Always!
Thanks. That was a real benit for my piloting knowledge.
Airforceproud95 should be Airforceproud7500 :D
I have questions!!!! i saw a study about pilots sleeping while flying. the study went like 80% of pilots admits to have fall in sleep while flying and 20% admits to have woke up and realize that co pilot is also in sleep. can you make a HONEST video about it?? and I also have another question why there seems to be 4 throttle sticks in your cabin? I might be wrong in this one :D (sorry bad english)
Fatigue, it's increasingly common amongst modern pilots now especially with budget operators...
I can answer the question about the throttles; there are four of them for the four engines. If there's a problem, they can be individually powered down. Even the biggest airliners can fly with an engine down. During regular flight, the throttle levers move in unison. Hope that helps.
No he is not going to make a video about that! Hahaha. And 4 throttles, 1 for each engine. Two on left wing, two on right wing.
@@MrNikolidas not only is it true that they can fly with 3 or even 2 easily, but they also rarely tell any passengers unless they expect a major change in flight plan or an emergency, and still often blur the truth "technical problems" instead of "Both engines 2 and 4 have failed, we ok only have half our engines"
Dihydrogen Monoxide hahaha I know, any time I hear “technical difficulties” I always think, “well, there goes a control column”
Thanks a lot for the videos. Usually when I don't understand it, I come on and look through your videos and it sure make more sense than just reading it on the book lol.

squawk 7500
B L O G
Squawk code is actually octal, not decimal digits. In your simulator you can clearly see that the digits go from zero to seven. Same with older transponders where you literally "dial in" the code.
cocotoni1977 Came to say just this. Squawk codes go from 0000 to 7777, for a total of 4096 possible squawk codes, though many of those are reserved (i.e. 7500, 7600, 7700, 7777) or designated as invalid (I presume 0000 is invalid).
cocotoni1977 you are absolutely right! 😉
Captain Joe
What does squawk code 0000 do
All I know is to not use it
Since there are relatively few squawk codes available, can it happen that two planes with the same squawk code appear in the same area? How is this then fixed?
According to www.flightradars.eu/squawkcodes.html :
0000 SSR data unreliable
Some pilot lingo I picked up on recently was listening to passenger pilots talking on a full flight, trying to get somewhere to sit. "I'll take the jump seat, as long as I don't have to take the dump seat." Self explanatory. New subscriber BTW.
Thank u soo much for taking ur time and explaining for us .. you are the best
last one sounds like it could be a pilot pickup line. "are you squawking 7700 because you look like an angel" a play on the "did it hurt when you fell from heaven" line.
But how can you squawk 7500 once you have been hijacked?
You probably do it as they breach the door lol
Alexander H
That's my guess as well.
No one can get through the cockpit door without the pilots opening it. They have pleanty of time to do whatever. And these days in any case the pilots would not let anyone come in even if they say they are gonna kill all the passengers, because of 9/11, the people died anyways plus a lot of others did too
The bad guys won't get into the cockpit in the first place. Even if you had a gun, you wouldn't get it open.
Just wait for a pilot has to use the toilet
That's really informative! Thank you!

Hey Joe!!! Appreciate the videos. Did you ever do a video on Data Link?
Thank You from Canada
I got taught this way; If you imagen that Aircraft have their own emergency telephone numbers as civilians do. Like 000, 911, 999 then you just need to apply the logic to aircraft.
So for police/military presence (a hijacking) its: 7500
For emergency assistance, fire/ambulance (Priority emergency) it's: 7700
And for the last one, if you're unable to contact anyone you call your provider (ATC) on: 7600
Once you relate or connect it to something like that it's very easy. The best way to remember numbers and complex commands, things of that nature that you don't use very often (and hopefully never need to) is to connect the theory with a relatable memory or better yet a similar mental procedure rather than creating new ones. Our minds are not full of infinite space and we need to constantly make room for new material, anything we don't use on a regular basis or is not ingrained for some sort of emotional reason tends to be dumped. Piolets cannot afford to dump procedures or emergency techniques.
Take my lesson for what it is. I hope it helps as much as this video is informative on the subject.
