What happened

At 14:10 UTC on 31 October 2026, N272LP, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk, began transmitting transponder code 7600, lost communications (nordo), near Newark (EWR) at 600 ft.

The code stayed up for about 0 minutes; we last saw it at 14:10 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 0 ft. The map shows the path flown around the event, colored from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7600 means radio failure: the aircraft has lost two-way communication with air traffic control and is following standard procedures. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
