planes are supposed to have a 4096 code Transponder. controllers will assign codes to planes to distinguish different a/c. some common codes:

1200: General aviation
0000: military intercept (dont use!!)
7600: hijack
7700: mayday

Actually, 1200 is the code for VFR flight.

I hope for your sake that you don't ever lose
your radios, cause you will be intercepted !

1200 standard code for VFR operations
7500 hijack code
7600 two-way communications falure
7700 used for all other emergencies
7777 reserved for military intercepter operations
4000 code for military pilots operating in
restricted/warning areas
