What is the outbound squawk?

• A. 1100
• B. 0200
• C. 0400
• D. 0100

Answer: (D)

In this pattern, the transponder squawk is a four-digit code you set to identify your aircraft on radar. The outbound leg uses a specific discrete code so ATC can tell you’re moving away from the fix and separate you from inbound traffic. For TH-73A course rules, the standard outbound squawk is 0100. Setting 0100 as you depart signals to ATC that you’re on the outbound leg, helping with radar identification and traffic separation. When you switch to the inbound leg or follow ATC instructions, you’ll use the appropriate inbound code as directed. The other codes shown correspond to different contexts and aren’t used for this outbound pattern.
