Question

What code is used for pressure suit flights, and aircraft operations above FL 600?

a) ICAO code
b) Squawk code
c) Transponder code
d) Altitude code

Answer 1

The code for pressure suit flights and aircraft operations above FL 600 is the transponder code, which is part of communication protocols in aviation for identifying aircraft positions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code used for pressure suit flights and aircraft operations above Flight Level 600 is the transponder code. Specifically, the Transponder code 7500 is used in aviation as a universal signal indicating a hijacking, but for operations above FL 600, different, pre-assigned codes are likely to be used based on the operation and region. This is a part of the communication protocols in air traffic management where transponders are used by the aircraft to identify their positions to Air Traffic Control (ATC). It's important for pilots and air traffic controllers to use the correct codes for safety and identification purposes during flight operations.
