At 11:10 UTC on 4 November 2026, DEPCN, a Piper PA-28 Cherokee/Archer registered D-EPCN, began transmitting transponder code 7700, general emergency, near Weeze (NRN) at 1,600 ft.

The code stayed up for about 70 minutes; we last saw it at 12:20 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 1,600 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.
