??? tip "Setting the Squawk Code"
64+
In the ATC IFR clearance you will be assigned a squawk code. This code is used to identify your aircraft on radar.
65+
66+
To set the squawk code, you can use the [Radio Management Panel (RMP)](../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/pedestal/rmp.md)
67+
on the pedestal or the [MFD](../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/main-panel/mfd.md) Surveillance (SURV) page.
68+
69+
In the MFD Surveillance page, you can set the squawk code by clicking on the `SQWK` field and typing in the assigned
70+
code and confirm with ENTER. Then click on the AUTO button to activate the squawk code.
