Title: Squawk codes and log
Post by: daveg4otu on April 26, 2009, 06:57:18 AM

Is it possible to include Squawk codes in the "My Log" ?


...If so ...how please?

No, the codes are not displayed in MyLog.  This would present a bit of a problem, as aircraft often change their squawk, so which one would you show?

OK - good point  about the changes - would still be nice to perhaps have the option  to include the  code  in use  on initial contact.For military a/c that is often the only indication of  routing/location etc.

How about first and last as per the positions from the ABS-B.
For Military that could indicate Direction N-S  or S-N, or special area seen in!!!

jgrloit,

MyLog does already have this for the indvidual flights, Of course 99% of Military flights do not have ADS-B so we don't know there position.

I think that jgrloit means first and last squawk code rather than position.

Daveg4otu what is the link between squawk and routing with military aircraft?

Title: Re: Squawk codes and log

Squawk code are allocated according to a "Plan" which is linked to routings/destinations/origins etc.

So ,as military aircraft routings/positions  are not available via ModeS - butr squawks are.... the  code may  give some indication of  the aircraft's  probable route etc.EG: codes 4530-4542 are used for Aberporth.

So if squawks are allocated to a flight plan do they change during flight as suggested above?
