Default Transponder code switching

The only time it really makes a difference is if you accidentally
switch it to the 7500+ neighborhood. A good rule of thumb is to roll in
the first number (which at least in the Minneapolis area is never 7) and
then do the rest.

Do people get 7xxx codes elsewhere in the United States?


Not sure about assigning 7xxx codes...

I found a list of transponder codes besides the 1200/7500/7600/7700:

1255 is for VFR aircraft engaged in fighting forest fires
1277 is for VFR aircraft engaged in search & rescue operations
4000 is reserved for VFR military aircraft on training missions
4400-4477 are reserved for aircraft operating above FL600
At no time should 7777 be used, as this is for military interception
procedures

Are there others?
