What happened

At 18:35 UTC on 5 November 2026, N5427X, a Cessna T206 Stationair TC, began transmitting transponder code 7600, lost communications (nordo), near Anchorage (ANC) at 1,800 ft.

The code stayed up for about 5 minutes; we last saw it at 18:40 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 2,300 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.
