"Last seen" is where and how high the aircraft was the last time we saw the code, not an official outcome. We don't follow up on flights or report why they declared an emergency.
What these codes mean
7700 is a general emergency, 7600 means the crew has lost radio contact, and 7500 signals unlawful interference. The full table, with 1200, 7000 and the rest, is on squawk codes explained.
Why a 7700 isn't always serious
Crews declare emergencies early, on purpose. A warning light, a sick passenger or a precautionary return all earn a 7700, and declaring one costs nothing but buys priority. Most of these flights land normally, and many squawk the code for only part of the flight. A code on this list tells you a crew asked for help, not what went wrong or how it ended.
Why a plane may be missing here
We only see what receivers hear, so flights far out over the ocean or over remote land may not appear. Aircraft whose owners opted out of public display (FAA LADD, Privacy ICAO Address) are never shown. A 7500 appears 30 minutes after we first see it. And a code that lasts less than our two-minute check can slip past us.
How this list is built
Every two minutes our server reads the worldwide ADS-B feed the live map already uses, plus the list of military aircraft that broadcast openly. Any aircraft sending 7500, 7600 or 7700, or the matching ADS-B emergency status, is listed with its type, altitude, speed and the state, country or sea it is over. Each sighting goes into a 30-day log.
