What is the outbound squawk code used in this procedure?

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

Answer: (A)

When flying a radar-assisted procedure, ATC assigns a discrete transponder code to identify your aircraft on the radar during the outbound leg. The correct choice is the discrete code published for this specific outbound segment, which you should set in your transponder before starting the outbound leg and keep until you’re cleared to switch or you’re established inbound. Using the published code helps ATC track you accurately and maintain proper separation from other traffic following the same procedure. The other codes shown are not the one published for this leg, so they wouldn’t match the required assignment for this procedure.
