What is the inbound squawk?

• A. 0100
• B. 0200
• C. 0300
• D. 0400

Answer: (D)

Transponder codes (squawk) are four-digit octal codes that ATC uses to identify and track aircraft on radar. When approaching a radar-controlled field, ATC may assign a specific discrete code to indicate you’re inbound, so they can easily manage the incoming traffic. In this scenario, the inbound squawk is 0400, meaning you should set your transponder to that code to mark yourself as the inbound aircraft. The other codes listed aren’t used to designate inbound traffic in this context, as they are not the assigned inbound code.
