Doc 4444, Chapter 8, paragraph 8.6.9.
If proceeding from an area where a specific Mode A code has been assigned to the aircraft by an ATS Unit, maintain that code setting unless otherwise instructed;
select or reselect Mode A codes, or switch off the equipment when airborne only when instructed by an ATS Unit;
acknowledge Mode A code setting instructions by reading back the code to be set;
select Mode C pressure-altitude reporting mode of the transponder simultaneously with Mode A unless otherwise instructed by an ATS Unit;
Note: Where the term Mode C pressure-altitude reporting is used, the information and requirements also apply to pressure-altitude reporting employed by Mode S transponders in response to interrogations from Mode S radars.
when reporting levels under routine procedures or when requested by ATC, state the current altimeter reading to the nearest 100 FT. This is to assist in the verification of Mode C pressure-altitude reporting data transmitted by the aircraft.
Note: If, on verification there is a difference of more than 200 FT between the level readout and the reported level, the pilot will normally be instructed to switch off the Mode C pressure-altitude reporting mode of the transponder. If independent switching of Mode C pressure-altitude reporting is not possible, the pilot will be instructed to select Mode A code 0000 to indicate a transponder malfunction.
Code 7700. To indicate an emergency condition, this code should be selected as soon as is practicable after declaring an emergency situation, and having due regard for the over-riding importance of controlling aircraft and containing the emergency. However, if the aircraft is already transmitting a discrete code and receiving an air traffic service, that code may be retained at the discretion of either the pilot or the controller;
Code 7600. To indicate a radio failure;
Code 7500. To indicate unlawful interference with the planned operation of a flight, unless circumstances warrant the use of Code 7700;
Code 1000. To indicate an aircraft conducting IFR flight as GAT, where the downlinked aircraft identification is validated as matching the aircraft identification entered in the flight plan;
Code 2000. When:
entering United Kingdom airspace from an adjacent region where the operation of transponders has not been required; or
when operating within United Kingdom airspace in accordance with IFR and is either not receiving an ATS or has not received a specific instruction from ATS concerning the setting of the transponder; or
unless instructed otherwise by ATS, Mode S transponder equipped aircraft on the aerodrome surface when under tow, or parked and prior to selecting Off or STBDY.
Code 7007. This code is allocated to aircraft engaged on airborne observation flights under the terms of the Treaty on Open Skies. Flight Priority Category B status has been granted for such flights and details will be published by NOTAM.
Note: The Mode C pressure-altitude reporting mode of the transponder should be selected with all of the above Mode A codes.
When receiving a service from an ATS Unit or Air Surveillance and Control System Unit which requires a different setting;
When circumstances require the use of one of the Special Purpose Mode A codes or one of the other specific Mode A conspicuity codes assigned in accordance with the UK SSR Code Allocation Plan as detailed in the table at paragraph 2.6 of ENR 1.6.
As in sub-paragraphs 2.2.2.1.1 (a) and 2.2.2.1.1 (b); or
When selecting a Monitoring Code (see paragraph 2.2.5).
*7000 – VFR conspicuity code: when operating within United Kingdom airspace in accordance with VFR and have not received a specific instruction from ATS concerning the setting of the transponder.
*2000 – IFR conspicuity code: when operating within United Kingdom airspace in accordance with IFR and have not received a specific instruction from ATS concerning the setting of the transponder.
Code | Use | Conditions/Remarks |
|---|---|---|
*0024 | Radar Flight Evaluation/Calibration | Aircraft conducting radar evaluation/calibration flights shall only squawk 0024 for the duration of the trial. The code shall not be used whilst transiting to/from the trial; in such circumstances the appropriate Mode A code as per paragraph 2.2.2.1 should be selected. May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*0033 | Aircraft Paradropping | Unless a discrete Mode A code has already been assigned, pilots of transponder equipped aircraft should select Mode A code 0033, together with Mode C pressure altitude reporting mode of the transponder, five minutes before the drop commences until the drop is complete and parachutists or loads are known or estimated by the pilot to be on the ground. |

*7001 | Military Fixed-Wing Low Level Conspicuity and Climb-out | For use by military fixed-wing aircraft on passing 2000 FT MSD in the descent to the UK Low Flying System (LFS) and retained whilst operating in the LFS. When a radar service is required on climb-out from the LFS, the code will be retained until alternative instructions are passed by an ATC Unit. May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*7002 | Danger Areas General | May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*7003 | Red Arrows Transit/Display | May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*7004 | Aerobatics and Display | For use by civil or military aircraft conducting solo or formation aerobatic manoeuvres, whilst displaying, practising or training for a display or for aerobatics training or general aerobatic practice. Unless a discrete Mode A code has already been assigned, pilots of transponder equipped aircraft should select *7004, together with Mode C pressure-altitude reporting mode of the transponder, five minutes before commencement of their aerobatic manoeuvres until they cease and resume normal operations. Pilots are encouraged to contact ATS Units and advise them of the lateral, vertical and temporal limits within which they will be operating and using *7004. Controllers are reminded that *7004 must be considered as unvalidated and the associated Mode C pressure-altitude reporting data unverified. Traffic information will be passed to aircraft receiving a service as follows: 'Unknown aerobatic traffic, (number) o'clock (distance) miles opposite direction/crossing left/right indicating (altitude) unverified (if Mode C pressurealtitude reporting data is displayed)'. May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*7005 | High-Energy Manoeuvres | Unless a discrete Mode A code has already been assigned, outside controlled airspace below FL 195 and outwith the UK Low Flying System, pilots of military fast-jet aircraft should select *7005 prior to engaging in sustained high-energy manoeuvres. This will highlight to controllers the nature of the flight. Controllers should expect such aircraft to perform sudden and unpredictable changes in altitude and heading, and should be prepared to react accordingly. Controllers are reminded that the *7005 must be considered as unvalidated and the associated Mode C pressure-altitude reporting data unverified. May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*7006 | Autonomous Operations within a TRA and TRA(G) | For use by military aircraft conducting autonomous operations within a TRA or TRA(G). May be selected at pilot's discretion. |
*7010 | Operating in an Aerodrome Traffic Pattern | For use by aircraft operating in an aerodrome traffic pattern, when instructed to do so by an ATS Unit or local operating instructions. Shall only be selected with ATC direction or in accordance with local aerodrome procedures. |

The ICAO three letter designator (not the IATA two letter designator) for the aircraft operating agency followed by the flight identification, for example, BAW213 or JTR25, when:
In radiotelephony, the callsign used consists of the ICAO telephony designator for the operating agency followed by the flight identification, for example, SPEEDBIRD 213 or HERBIE 25.
Or,
The registration marking of the aircraft, for example, G-INFO or EIAKO, when:
In radiotelephony, the callsign used comprises the registration marking alone, for example, G-INFO, or is preceded by the ICAO telephony designator for the operating agency, for example, SVENAIR EIAKO;
the aircraft is not equipped with radio.
Or,
The callsign determined by the military authorities if this will be used to identify the aircraft in radiotelephony during flight.
Note 1: When the Aircraft Identification consists of less than 7 characters, no zeros, dashes or spaces are to be added, either before or between the characters. Only alphanumeric characters are to be used. Nothing should be added after the final character of the registration. For example, an aircraft registered 'G-INFO' would be input as 'GINFO’.
Note 2: Appendix 2 to ICAO Doc 4444 (PANS-ATM) refers. ICAO designators and telephony designators for aircraft operating agencies are contained in ICAO Doc 8585.
Plan to proceed as directly as possible to the nearest suitable aerodrome where repair can be made;
inform ATS as soon as possible preferably before the submission of a flight plan. When granting clearance to such aircraft, ATC will take into account the existing and anticipated traffic situation and may have to modify the time of departure, flight level or route of the intended flight;
insert in item 10 of the ICAO flight plan under SSR the letter N for complete unserviceability of the transponder or in the case of partial failure, the letter corresponding to the remaining transponder capability, including unserviceability of any Mode S functionality, as specified in ICAO Doc 4444, Appendix 2.
This is in accordance with ICAO Doc 4444, Chapter 12, para 12.4.3.
(as detailed in the table at ENR 1.6-9 (See also notes below)).
Note 1: Pilots are not to preselect Mode A code settings for discrete codes until instructed to do so by the appropriate controlling agency.
Note 2: The codes or series annotated * are used for conspicuity, co-ordination or special purposes and, unless procedures have been agreed with UK CAA Safety and Airspace Regulation Group, the Mode A code and associated Mode C pressure-altitude reporting data must be considered unvalidated and unverified.
Note 3: These codes are assigned by Aberdeen for helicopters operating in Northern North Sea Off-shore area and out to 5° West.
Note 4: Ground based transponder equipment.
Note 5: This code is allocated to Transit (ORCAM) UK and is temporarily assigned for use by London Control (Swanwick) FIS. Notwithstanding, it retains all the properties and protection of an ORCAM Transit code.
Note 6: These codes will be assigned to aircraft on air policing missions operating under Air Defence Priority Flight (ADPF) status. NATO Air Surveillance and Control System (ASACS) units, NATO Airborne Early Warning aircraft or military ATCCs will normally control the aircraft. The actual controlling unit for a particular flight will be notified by the relevant NATO ASACS unit to the military ATC supervisor whose area of responsibility contains the intended route of the ADPF aircraft. The military ATC supervisor will then inform the relevant civil ATCC. Where any doubt about the controlling agency exists, the relevant military ATC supervisor with the responsibility for the area within which the ADPF aircraft is operating should be contacted in the first instance.
Note 7: This code is assigned by the FISO to aircraft requesting entry into Controlled Airspace for the purpose of joining or crossing the ATS Route network. Pilots shall only select the code when they are within two-way communication with the London FIS. Where available, the Mode C pressure-altitude reporting mode of the transponder should also be selected. If communication is lost or the aircraft leaves the FIS frequency, pilots shall deselect this special purpose code. The assignment of this code does not imply the provision of a radar service and the code and any associated Mode C pressure-altitude reporting data must be considered to be unvalidated and unverified.
Note 8: All Spadeadam squawks indicating flight above FL 50 will be validated and verified by Spadeadam ATC.
Note 9: This conspicuity code shall be used by aircraft operating in an Off-shore Safety Area (OSA) when contact with the Area Air Traffic Service Provider (ATSP) has not been established and no other code has previously been allocated.
Note 10: These codes will be assigned to Unmanned Aeronautical Vehicles operating within an active danger area, which will be validated but may be unverified.
Note 11: Aircraft operating within, and in the vicinity of, EGD123, EGD124, EGD125, EGD126, EGD128.
Note 12: This conspicuity code shall be used by Unmanned Aerial Systems/Remotely Piloted Aircraft that have lost communications with their remote pilot and are following a pre-programmed Lost Link flight profile.
Note 13: This code may also be used for Blackpool Instrument Training.
Note 14: For use within a 20 NM radius of Land’s End up to 4000 FT AMSL.
Note 15: Codes allocated to HQ Air Command are reserved for the purpose of major Operations or Exercises under HQ Air Command control including national events coordinated under HQ 11 Gp.
Note 16: Codes "On loan to CCAMS" may be reallocated to Special Events (e.g. Royal International Air Tattoo) providing at least two weeks' notice is submitted to SSRCodeAllocation@caa.co.uk.
Note 17: The use of the BVLOS UAS/RPA Code does not, in itself, constitute approval to operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). Operators must ensure they obtain the necessary permissions and approvals from the relevant regulatory authorities prior to conducting any BVLOS operations. When the system is being provided a Flight Information Service or requires positive identification to enable control, a discrete SSR codes from the controlling unit is to be utilised.

Pre-flight Notification - Flight Plans. As the preferred method of notification flight plans (F2919/CA48) should be submitted as far in advance of ETD as possible and in any case not less than 30 minutes before service is required. The Swanwick(Mil) signals address - EGZYOATT - must be included on the flight plan. When appropriate these additions to the standard flight plan format must also be included:
Item 18. The point and the time at which a radar service is required to commence;
Item 15. The point of entry into the area and the point of exit.
Note: Item 15. If a flight is planned to enter any CAS within the Swanwick(Mil) area of responsibility and a service is required before joining or after leaving CAS, both parts of the route may be entered in Item 15 of the same flight plan. In this case both IFPS - EGZYIFPS - and Swanwick(Mil) EGZYOATT must appear as addressees.
Pre-Flight Notification - Military Prenote. When it has not been possible to file a flight plan, as sub-paragraph (a), relevant details of the intended flight should be telephoned by the pilot or by his aerodrome operations or ATC to Swanwick(Mil), Main Flight Plan Reception Section, (ATOTN Telephone Ext 6710) at least 15 minutes before service is required. Flight details should be passed in this order:
Callsign;
number of aircraft (if more than 1) and aircraft type(s);
position and time at which service is required to commence;
speed and flight level at commencement of service;
route (including any required speed or level changes);
position of leaving the delineated area (if applicable); and
destination (ICAO Location Indicator).
In-Flight Notification (Air Filing). Exceptionally, when neither form of pre-flight notification has been made the flight details listed in sub-paragraph (b) above, may be notified in flight (Air Filed) by radio to:
ATCRU. Airfile with the ATCRU, currently providing a service for onward transmission by them to Swanwick(Mil) at least 15 minutes in advance of service being required;
Swanwick(Mil). Request radar service by calling Swanwick(Mil) on the appropriate (ICF), at least 5 minutes before service is required passing the details listed in sub-paragraph (b) above.
In order to comply with the requirements of the FPPS for Western Radar, pilots and operators of aircraft leaving or joining Controlled Airspace within the Western Radar Area of Operation, who wish to receive an ATS from Western Radar are advised to file all flight plans (CA48) to both EUCHZMFP and EUCBZMFP not less than 30 minutes before the ATS is required.
The flight plan should include the following information:
Item 18. The point and time at which a UK FIS radar service will be required within the Western Radar Area of Operation.
Item 15. The point of entry into and exit from the Western Radar Area of Operation.
Note: An ATS is available to aircraft entering or leaving CAS within the Western Radar Area of Operation; therefore, to secure an ATS, Flight Plan Item 15 is to be fully completed.
Pre-Flight Notification. Changes to pre-flight notifications are to be passed to Swanwick(Mil) as soon as possible by:
Amended flight plan if time permits (as in paragraph 4.2.3.1 (a)); otherwise
by telephone (as in paragraph 4.2.3.1 (b)).
In-Flight Notification (Air Filing). By RTF as soon as possible (as in paragraph 4.2.3.1 (c)).

This application will then be passed to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for approval. Following the approval process, operators of radio stations should hold the following:
An equipment approval under the Air Navigation Order (ANO), issued by the CAA;
A frequency assignment, issued by the CAA;
An aeronautical radio licence under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (’the WT Act’), issued by Ofcom.
Applicants should note that coordination with other European states may be necessary before a frequency assignment can be made; applications for approval should be made as early as possible and can be made up to six months before operationally required.
Information on frequencies in use by the off-shore helicopter community can be obtained from the Helideck Certification Agency at http://www.helidecks.org/index.php/helideck-certificates;
Mobiles must operate in accordance with the frequency plan shown in paragraph 4.5.5.3;
Aeronautical RTF operations for all installations north of 56°N and east of 5°W and within the UK Off-shore Areas Under Concession, with the exception of the East Shetland Basin – that is Off-shore RTF Areas A to I (Note 1) – have each been provided with two RTF frequencies, one for Traffic (Note 2) RTF calls and the other for Logistics (Note 3) RTF calls, as listed in paragraph 4.5.5.3.1. No suffix will be added to the Civil Aviation Authority approved callsign when traffic information is to be passed by the operator of the aeronautical radio station. When logistics information is to be passed the suffix ‘LOG’ shall be added to the approved callsign.
Simultaneous operation of the traffic and the LOG frequencies may be required, installations are therefore required to carry radio facilities to support this.
Note 1: Operators wishing to operate installations in Area X on the RTF frequency allocations chart should contact the Authority at least 90 days before operation is required in order to obtain a temporary RTF frequency assignment.
Note 2: The Traffic frequency is to be used for giving information on aircraft positions, obtaining deck clearance, and for lifting calls.
Note 3: The logistics (LOG) frequency should be used for all other calls permitted within the terms of an OPC service such as, departure messages, in-field routings, payload information, and ordering fuel and refreshments.
RTF Operation - Areas A to P: RTF frequency assignments for off-shore installations may only be used for communication between installations and aircraft that are both within the same off-shore RTF frequency assignment area. The Traffic frequencies may be used for communication with aircraft that are below 2000 FT and the LOG frequencies may be used for communication with aircraft that are below 7000 FT
Published Air Traffic Service procedures should be followed where available. A listening watch should be maintained with the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) where possible. Prior to leaving the ATSU’s operating area, pilots should advise the ATSU of the aircraft’s movement intentions. Where maintaining a listening watch with the ATSU is not possible and at all times when the aircraft is below 1500 FT a listening watch on the RTF Area Traffic Frequency shall be maintained.
Outbound - To the off-shore installation: Pilots who are in communication with the ATSU should, once established in the descent and still above 1500 FT, establish contact with their destination on the Area Traffic Frequency, and hand over the flight watch. They should then advise the ATSU on passing 1500 FT. Landing clearances should be obtained from the HLO who will be operating on the Traffic frequency.
Inbound - From the off-shore installation: Lifting calls should be made on the Traffic frequency. Once airborne establish communication with the appropriate ATSU whilst below 1000 FT or as soon practical. Published Air Traffic Service procedures should be followed where available.
The appropriate LOG frequency should be used as required to exchange information with the destination. When operating below 1500 FT or outside the ATSU’s area of operation pilots should retune the ATSU radio to the LOG frequency for passing Logistics information. When not being used for LOG messages the radio should be retuned to monitor the appropriate ATSU’s frequency.

Note 1: Simultaneous operation of NDBs on the same frequency by more than one mobile installation is likely to result in incorrect navigational information being displayed to pilots. For this reason it is essential that NDB operators read and comply with Notes regarding off-shore radio facilities. CAA Doc 446 is available from the department detailed at paragraph 4.5.5.1.1.1. Note 2: Alternative arrangements may be desirable for flight safety reasons when working adjacent to a permanent installation. These will be agreed by the CAA in consultation with the parties concerned. Where the mobile installation temporarily uses the RTF frequency assigned to the permanent installation, helicopters will not normally use the mobile NDB because of the difficulty in co-ordinating with other users of the same NDB frequency. Note 3: If NDB operation does become necessary the appropriate NDB frequency shown in the diagram at ENR 6-31 is to be used and the helicopter company involved is requested to co-ordinate use with other mobiles on the appropriate area frequency. |
