Beacon codes are assigned to _______-equipped aircraft.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When tackling this question, I start by identifying what a beacon code actually represents in air traffic control terminology.
Option 1: Mode S. This is a separate transponder operating mode used for selective addressing and automatic dependent surveillance—it's not the beacon code itself, which is the four-digit code assigned by ATC.
Option 2: Mode 3/A. This is the standard beacon code (the four-digit octal Squawk code) that ATC assigns to aircraft with a transponder. The Mode 3/A designation indicates both the squawk code and the basic altitude/identity reporting capability associated with older and many current systems.
Option 3: Mode B. There is no Mode B transponder standard in aviation; this is a distractor that conflates with other radio/comms terminology and does not represent beacon coding.
Option 4: Mode 4/C. Mode 4 is an authentication/encrypted code used in military contexts, and Mode C refers to altitude reporting, not the beacon code assignment itself. This mix-up makes this option inaccurate for the concept of beacon codes.

Putting it together, the question asks about the assignment of beacon codes, which are four-digit Squawk codes issued to aircraft with standard transponder capability. Among the choices, Mode 3/A is the designation that correctly identifies the beacon code system used for the squawk.
