General Discussion / How many days do i wait to transfer
« on: March 23, 2009, 05:09:07 PM »
But in the document: VFR IN CLASS B AIRSPACE states :

Squawk codes explained:
Closed traffic: 1201, 1202 etc
Local Denver traffic (staying within the D01 area): 5201, 5202 etc
Departures: 0601, 0602, 0651, 0652, 1401, 1402 etc

This is listed on the ZDV site under Procedures/VFR/Class B Guides

So which squawk code is right? The SOP's of 1201 or the Class B VFR Guide stating 5201?My trainer says it's 5201 per the VFR Class B Guide but the SOP says otherwise. Some controllers want to use 5201 while others use 1201.

 Two documents with two different squawk codes. That is why i am upset. There is not ONE SET OF RULES/PROCEDURES. It just depends which set of procedures a conroller wants to follow.

I am currently at ZDV but do not like it there because they have documents that conflict each other. For example: for VFR they have an SOP Class B airspace  transponder codes that are different than other parts of their site.

 About a week ago  was controlling as DEN_GND and was sent a chat that I was issuing the wrong squawk code to VFR. VFR out of class B per the SOP is 5201,etc  BUT another document has it as 1201,etc. Therefore i was sent a chat "5201????" and I advising the TWR controller that  issued the squaek per the SOP and my trainer and he said it was wrong.

 therefore, i am asking to transfer to another Facility because ZDV has many docs that contridict each other. I want a region that has ONE SET OF RULES. At ZDV they use whatever document they want so there is no consistency there!

 So, I am looking to transfer. How do i find my start date with ZDV and when can i transfer out?

 thanks,
