He was giving his copilot a full demonstration of what happens if you squawk 7500.
A good thing he wasn't demonstrating to the copilot what happens when you crash?
Aren't you suppose to keep those" 3 " sqawk number secret..and more so the one you just posted..!!
It's published in the AIM. My copy isn't marked secret.
How about just squawking 0666 when all hell is breaking loose....
Then we would be seeing that one every day!
It's a really tightly kept secret https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_(aeronautics)#Codes_assigned_by_air_traffic_control
You are obviously right... I'm "old school".. But that's what I remember being told ...when I join my airline in 1975... LOL..!
If I remember right, airline captains were issued with a card which listed secret radio codes for the flight in case of problems. This may have been certain airlines only however and I have never seen one myself.
What I do know is that there is usually a code phrase for use between the cabin chief and cockpit in case of problems.
There was something similar to that in the 50s and 60s for international flights, at least coming from the Pacific. You picked up a packet in Hawaii, and it had certain authentications and check turns to execute (Flight XXX, execute check turn 1). If you blew a check turn or authenticator, then Air Defence Command would scramble an intercept, and your airline was billed for the cost of the intercept.
