A good memory jogger for the emergency transponder codes is: Hi Jack, I can’t talk right now, I’ve got an emergency. 7500 -> Being Hijacked 7600 -> Radio/Comms

- mlyle 4y agoI think 1202 is not intended to be a transponder code, but an approximation of 121.5.
- buildsjets 4y agoCould be. I just assumed squawk. (121.5 is the universal emergency VHF audio comm frequency.)
- efitz 4y agoYes, I meant 121.5 but my memory is fuzzy after many years.
- santix 4y agoThere's also "7-7: we're going to heaven; 7-5: somebody else wants to fly; 7-6: radio needs a fix".
