Chris,

How does someone get on going across
Europe?


Well, educate yourself ;-)

For example, most European countries have the standard VFR squawk of
7000 (not 1200, as in the US). Germany used to have 0021 below 5000 and
0022 above. They are now changing that to 7000 to "harmonize".

Interesting... Here's it's 1200, like the US..

But at my local airfield, which is actually a small international
airport, we use 2200 if we're in the circuit, so the controllers can
switch us off their radar...
