communicationsFAA-published sample question (PAR, Aug 2021)
Unless otherwise authorized, if flying a transponder equipped aircraft, a pilot should squawk which VFR code?
A
1200✓ Correct Answer
B
7600
C
7700
Explanation
AIM 4-1-20 states that, unless otherwise instructed by an ATC facility, VFR pilots set the transponder to Mode 3/A code 1200 regardless of altitude, with altitude reporting enabled. Code 7600 signals a two-way radio communications failure and 7700 signals an emergency, so neither is the normal VFR code.
