WEN3332 (Westjet Encore) was inbound to CYYC on 2026-01-12. SkyMeter recorded a 7500 transponder transmission at 15:32 UTC. Code 7500 indicates unlawful interference; in practice the overwhelming majority of observed transmissions are transponder glitches, mode-select knob errors, or transient ADS-B noise rather than a declared hijack. SkyMeter records the signal; it does not claim a hijack occurred. Trace data at the event: 24629 ft AGL, 370 kt GS. METAR at the time reported 11 kt wind, 9 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.
