FAA Instrument Test Answer:
"Your aircraft has been identified on the radar display and radar flight following will be provided until radar identification is terminated."
It is like flying ATC or weather station
Radar is used in Air Traffic Control (ATC) to monitor and track the movement of aircraft in the airspace. It provides controllers with real-time information about the position, altitude, and speed of aircraft, helping them to maintain safe separation between planes and guide them along their flight paths. Radar also helps ATC to detect and respond to any potential conflicts or emergencies in the airspace.
Secondary radar system are known as "Interrogator/Transponders" and are cooperative radar systems. The Interrogator transmits a pulse pattern that signals the kind of response they are looking for transponders that receive it. The transponder replies with a pulse pattern on a different frequency. Transponders can also carrier coded information that give more then just there position. Most typical transponder system is associated with Air Traffic Control Radar. Air Traffic Control systems integrate the primary radar return (non-cooperative return) with the position and coded data from the secondary radar (cooperative return) that will also provide flight information like Squawk code (a Unique ID) altitudes speed position etc. The maritime equivalent has three equivalents SART (Search and Rescue Transponder), Racon Buoys (Navigation transponders that respond to maritime radar pulse width) and a systems that is not really radar but is VHF transmission and is called AIS (Automatic Identification System) but perform similar information to the ATC system. However when the term Secondary Radar is used it almost always means ATC Interrogator Transponder system or the military version system.
An ATC transponder, or Air Traffic Control transponder, is an electronic device installed in aircraft that emits a unique identification signal in response to radar interrogations from air traffic control. It helps enhance situational awareness by enabling radar systems to track the aircraft's position, altitude, and speed. The transponder can also provide additional information, such as emergency codes, which assist controllers in managing air traffic safely and efficiently.
some use a system called TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System), but others have to rely on the ATC (Air Traffic Control).
At an airport with ATC use the radio to contact ground and ask for taxi instructions.
