Squawk 7600 transmission — RCH561

2026-05-24 17:59 UTC· ETAS ETAR· C17

RCH561 was operating from ETAS to ETAR on 2026-05-24. SkyMeter recorded a 7600 transponder transmission at 17:59 UTC. Code 7600 indicates a lost-comms / NORDO state; brief transmissions are often transient radio or transponder issues that resolve without crew action. Trace data at the event: 35024 ft AGL, 452 kt GS. METAR at the time reported 4 kt wind, 2 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.
