Ross, what do you mean by "squawking a plane upon landing?"
I only know the verb in a transponder context.
We use that word to make write ups on the squawk sheet that they had for
each airplane, describing what is wrong. *That is what they called it a
squawk sheet. I looked at dictionary.com for the definition of squawk. I
am not sure it would apply for this or a transponder. The definitions
came back as:
1. to utter a loud, harsh cry, as a duck or other fowl when frightened.
2. Informal. to complain loudly and vehemently.
A little harsh meaning

We've all heard 'squack ident', but I laughed out loud when a
controller told me to 'strangle the parrot'. Yes, he meant put the
transponder to standby.
