A squawk is not a verdict. 7700 means the crew has declared an emergency; most end with a safe landing and many are precautionary. 7600 is a radio failure and 7500 is reserved for unlawful interference. Codes can be set in error. We report an event once it is confirmed. Positions from the adsb.lol community ADS-B network (ODbL). Coverage depends on volunteer receivers, so some aircraft will be missing.
