What emergency code is associated with hijacking?

The emergency code associated with hijacking is 7500. This code is specifically designated for situations involving aircraft hijacking and alerts air traffic control to the crisis without alarming those on board the aircraft. When 7500 is transmitted, it indicates to air traffic controllers that the flight is under unlawful control, prompting authorities to initiate appropriate response protocols, including law enforcement involvement and coordination with military or emergency resources if necessary.

The other codes serve different purposes: 7600 refers to a loss of communication, 7000 is typically used for a general VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight, and 8000 is not a standard emergency code associated with aviation incidents. Proper understanding of these codes is crucial for pilots and air traffic controllers to communicate effectively during emergencies.
