Squawk Code 7777


Recommended Posts

So I've heard a couple stories of what the squawk code 7777 means, and no one was sure or positive of what it actually does.

 

So what happens if I squawk 7777? Is my bird going to blow up? Curiosity is killing me.

 

 

This is not really a mystery. It's just a 'military use only' squawk code.

It's true that 7777 is military use only. It's used for Fighters or Helicopters during intercepting procedures, from what I understand. And another one is 0000 I've heard that's now being designated for UAV operations. That's just what I've heard from some of my controller buddies, but I haven't seen any official documention as far as those go.
