Squawk 7700 on tel Aviv flight..

[yarink]

Seems this flight has been circling after takeoff. Is there any way to find out details of the 7700? The liveatc app doesn't broadcast atc chatter for tel Aviv.

Same here, I googled the flight no. and couldn't find anything. It looks the plane is returning back to Tel Aviv now.

7700 is a general emergency code: liveatc.net/forums/pilotcontroller-forum/pilot-pov-question-declaring-an-emergency/15/

Check avherald in a couple of days and it may appear if their editors noted it.

Regular test flight of new aircraft. They are squawking 7700 regularly during test flights. Happens every month. Just like there is a Grob squawking 7700 over UK more or less every week.

7700 is nothing to get excited over. It's required to use in some airspace's to notify ATC about priority. Does not indicate the level of the problem.
If you have a small flap problem over Paris you squawk 7700.
You can loose 50% of your engine capacity over Norway and you don't squawk 7700.

Interesting.. Now fr24 says flight not found or flying outside of coverage area. Why would the flight dissappear? Thanks for the info guys!

Landed maybe?
