Re: (Re)setting transponder codes
Bay,
PLEASE switch to standby before you rotate to another code, I've had numerous acft that were dialing in a new transponder code in flight cause a code for another acft that hasn't departed to activate and send a departure message through the NAS.
This forces more work on us because we then have to remove the flight plan that was in-advertantly activated and then enter a new proposed flight plan into the NAS so that the pilot has a flight plan on file when he calls for his IFR release.
