If you have a transponder, you get to turn it to 7700, I believe.

Close!

7700 is the "emergency" code and in the case of a forced landing in
dangerous terrain you may want to consider using it, particularly if you are not
talking to anyone on the ground.

7600 is the "lost communications" code.

If your single-seat glider should ever be hijacked, the be sure to remember
the 7500 "hijack" code.
