Macquarie Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I think the 0321 is the squawk of the individual aircraft. This is a four letter number, which the controller gives the aircraft on the delivery frequency to identify the aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
