 There are many sources for squawk codes in the UK on the internet, but a lot of them seem to be based on older lists/information. So, here's the most up-to-date list direct from the UK's Civil Aviation Authority [[https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/opencms/en/Publications/AIP/Current-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EG-ENR-1.6-en-GB.html|documentation]]. We'll try and keep this up to date as the documentation is usually updated every month, but actual changes will be rare. Anchor links are provided in the dropdown menu to each block section. There are many sources for squawk codes in the UK on the internet, but a lot of them seem to be based on older lists/information.

 Squawk codes can be useful for determining where something has come from or is going to in the case of missing or incomplete route information. Or they can identify a specific type of mission or what an aircraft is up to. The emergency squawks are also listed here - these will trigger alerts live on the [[https://adsb.oarc.uk/emergencies/|emergencies table]] on the [[https://adsb.oarc.uk/|tracker]] website and also hopefully soon into the ADS-B channel on the [[https://www.oarc.uk/join|OARC Discord]]. Also remember that each digit is an octal - meaning 0-8 - so you'll never see a 9 anywhere. Squawk codes can be useful for determining where something has come from or is going to in the case of missing or incomplete route information.

 There are a lot of accompanying notes that go with this data and these are reproduced here, although some are operational rather than informational. There are also a few extra notes added by us into places to try and help non-aviation-industry types actually understand things, as well as links to useful glossary terms or further sources of information: There are a lot of accompanying notes that go with this data and these are reproduced here, although some are operational rather than informational.
