#ATC CODE 7700 CODE#
Military aircraft operating VFR or IFR in restricted/warning areas or VFR on VR routes will adjust their transponders to reply on Code 4000 unless another code has been assigned by ATC or coordinated, if possible, with ATC.Civil Mode A is identical to military Mode 3.Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) is similar to and compatible with military coded radar beacon equipment.All codes are allocated in accordance with the National Beacon Code Allocation Plan (NBCAP).Circumstances may occasionally require ATC to assign a non-discrete code i.e., a code ending in "00".For ATC to utilize one of the 4096 discrete codes, a four-digit code designation will be used for example, code 2102 will be expressed as "TWO ONE ZERO TWO".Nevertheless, pilots should never relax their visual scanning vigilance for other aircraft.Even VFR pilots who are not in contact with ATC will be afforded greater protection from IFR aircraft and VFR aircraft that are receiving traffic advisories.This provides air traffic controllers, as well as pilots of suitably equipped aircraft (TCAS and ADS-B In), increased situational awareness and the ability to identify potential traffic conflicts.

ADS-B Out and transponders with altitude reporting mode turned ON (Mode C or S) substantially increase the capability of surveillance systems to see an aircraft.
