Any airline pedes here who can verify that code? Seems to me more likely there would be a code for medical emergencies and a different one for mechanical. Any airline pedes on here who can verify any of this? Thanks.
Get FightRadar24, turn on general emergency alerts. I get several every day, not 50-70, but the person that pointed me in this direction claimed 1-2 per month was normal pre covid and now it is 2-3 per day—which is true.

7700 is the code for General Emergency, as correctly referenced in the post. This could be mechanical or medical.
Alright, thanks. Seems strange there would be one code for either situation. Thanks for the reply.
The main 3 distress codes are:
7700 – Distress or Urgency Condition
7600 – Two-Way Radio Communication Failure
7500 – Air Piracy (Hijacking or Hostile Acts Onboard)
Thank you. I did wonder about the distinction between the other types of emergencies and something akin to a hijacking. Appreciate the info.

Yep. I’ve been seeing more and more on the app. My watch just dinged for a flight EN8859 a few min ago.
