What happened

At 18:20 UTC on 7 November 2026, KPO505, a Cessna Citation Excel/XLS registered N505WG, began transmitting transponder code 7700, general emergency, near Greensboro (GSO) at 3,000 ft.

The code stayed up for about 20 minutes; we last saw it at 18:40 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 3,000 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.
