Squawk 7600 transmission — SWA2922

2025-11-03 14:31 UTC· KMDW KHOU· SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO· B38M

SWA2922 (Southwest Airlines) was operating from KMDW to KHOU on 2025-11-03. SkyMeter recorded a 7600 transponder transmission at 14:31 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: 31713 ft AGL, 486 kt GS. Approach stability score: 89/100. Scores in this band are observed on roughly 50% of approaches at this runway and represent the centerline of normal operations. METAR at the time reported 2 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.
