COBRA012 squawked 7700 near Nottingham (EMA)

At 18:55 UTC on 27 October 2026, COBRA012, an Alenia Eurofighter 2000 registered ZK383, began transmitting transponder code 7700, general emergency, near Nottingham (EMA) at 2,500 ft.

The code stayed up for about 5 minutes; we last saw it at 19:00 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 5,000 ft. The map shows the path flown around the event, coloured from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7700 is the general emergency code: it covers anything from a medical issue on board to a technical fault, and most 7700s end in a normal landing. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
