It doesn't, but if you turn the box off and squawk nothing, TCAS won't see
you. So I suppose my point is that it doesn't matter what you squawk if radar can't see you, as long as you're squawking something. "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message hlink.net...

Exactly...someone is usually watching somewhere regardless of where you
are. I used to laugh in the 80's & early 90's when I was flying over Cuba on a regular basis. Havana would always tell me that radar service was terminated and then require verbal position reports while we all knew they were tracking us closely on their radar. Now that things are "friendlier" with them, we are always in radar contact....amazing.... "Radar service terminated" doesn't mean someone...somewhere...isn't watching.

While you may be out of range of ATC radar, "Big Brother" may be watching with even bigger radars (e.g., Shemya)... |

"John R Weiss" wrote in message news:NEdVb.247397$na.411669@attbi_s04... Generally, though, the ATC controller who provides flight following should tell you what to squawk when radar service is terminated. If he says "Squawk VFR," then squawk 1200. If he doesn't give you a code, ask. If he doesn't give you a code, you still squawk 1200. Back in the 70s when I flew VFR over Puerto Rico and the USVI, we squawked 1200 when we had no other assigned squawk. Same today. In the seventies, VFR traffic at and above 10,000 MSL squawked 1400. |
