At 19:55 UTC on 2 November 2026, N79113, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk, began transmitting transponder code 7700, general emergency, near San Diego (SAN) at 500 ft.

The code stayed up for about 5 minutes; we last saw it at 20:00 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 600 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. 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.
