A brief instructor-led conversation (from a Kenny Keller YouTube video) reviewing key emergency procedures for pilots: the transponder squawk codes (hijack 7500, radio failure 7600, emergency 7700), what to do if intercepted (tune to 121.5 MHz and follow directions of intercepting aircraft), and related in-flight rules (standard right-of-way passing conventions).

Do you know the three major squawk codes for hijack, radio failure and emergency? Yeah, let's see. One is going to be 7700. Yep. And that is. That's hijacking it. 77 is emergency. Okay, 77 is emergency. God, I shouldn't have these. That's fair game for him to ask. And this is. Let me ask the next one if you can remember. Well, here's because of. Think about our world since September 11, we're specifically going to want you to know the hijack. Hijack is 7500, so hijack, 7500. Radio failure 7600. Emergency 7700. While you're thinking about that, think about this too. Do you remember the procedure for being intercepted? For example, for you flight through a tfr, military comes out and they intercept you. Do you remember what is the. What you need to do so that you don't get shot down? Probably whatever they tell you. Right. But tune in to 121.5. I was gonna say 122. 5. Which way do I pass you? We each go to the right. Yeah, I pass you going to the right. If I'm going to overtake you, I overtake you to the right. If you're both. Your pilot's right. To my left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To my right. I go the right. If we're both coming head on, what do we do? We both go right. We both go the right. So airplane guy, successful businessman, failed a check. Right. Because he got confused on. Right. Of the rules. And that was with Jeff. And they were flying an instrument. It was the instructor. That was, not me. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah, I guess because I was thinking about odd and even altitude, depending on your direction, but if you're under 2500ft, it doesn't matter. Right. Since you brought that up, what are the cruising altitudes? VFR above 3,000. It's.
