An IFR Flight in airways on an airways squawk gets close to its VFR-only destination and is dropped out of controlled airspace with a phrase along the lines of
Cleared to leave controlled airspace by descent. Freecall Anytown radio on 123.455 goodbye.
Under these circumstances, what is the expected transponder behaviour?
- Leave airways squawk on until outside controlled airspace and then set 7000
- The same but set 2000
- Leave the airways squawk on until landing.
- Something else.
I ask out of genuine curiosity since controllers almost never refer to the transponder setting under these circumstances in my experience.
