Squawk 7700 transmission — CD166

2025-09-19 15:02 UTC· HAWK

CD166 was inbound to KVQQ on 2025-09-19. SkyMeter recorded a 7700 transponder transmission at 15:02 UTC. Code 7700 indicates a general emergency declaration (e.g. engine, medical, smoke). A sustained transmission is normally accompanied by ATC priority handling. Trace data at the event: 16493 ft AGL, 186 kt GS. Approach stability score: 69/100. Scores in this band occur on roughly 10-15% of approaches at this runway, with multiple gates outside the per-runway envelope. METAR at the time reported 10 kt wind, 5 kt crosswind component. Detection algorithm and known limitations: see SkyMeter methodology.

Automated analysis. Events shown on this page (such as go-around, unstable approach, or runway events) are heuristic classifications produced by algorithms from publicly broadcast ADS-B data. They are intended to surface flights of interest for further review — they are not findings of fact, and they do not determine pilot fault, regulatory compliance, or the cause of any occurrence. Coverage gaps and sensor noise can affect accuracy. Only the relevant civil aviation authority or accident investigation body can make official determinations.
