Something doesn't seem right here.

 

At 2:30 in vid related, Burbank Tower told the pilot to keep his squawk (iow, as previously assigned, not 1200). Then talking to Van Nuys Tower, he said he wanted to be handed off to Approach, so he would have had no reason (and not be permitted) to change it. He reads back the handoff frequency correctly.

 

SoCal asks him to IDENT at 3:57 and then at 4:03 SoCal says he was on a 1200 (VFR) squawk which makes no sense, unless he improperly changed it (why?), or the controller saw the IDENT of another aircraft. Even under normal circumstances, this would be unusual.

 

These recordings raise more questions than they answer. The raw ADS-B data, if any was captured publicly might be interesting.

 

Spoopy.

Squawk is a function of Mode C. 1200 is a generic code for aircraft under VFR. Especially in busy airspace, or when you request it, you may be assigned a discrete code by ATC so they can keep track of you and provide services. You can tell he had one assigned since the controller told him to "remain that squawk." Nobody says that if you are 1200.

 

ADS-B is a newer system that works differently than Mode C, and provides significantly more information than just the 4-digit octal identifier.

Negative squawk on the ADS-B data I could pull from FlightAware. I have seen it on adsbexchange in real-time but I don't think you can pull historical unless you have some kind of in with them.
