Hi all
I follow flightradar24 on Twitter and they send out updates every now and then. One has just come through with a squawk of 7700 (its VY2901, PMI to AMS). Now I understand this means general emergency, but can it range from anything to do with the aircraft or passengers or is it more detailed?
I've followed it on the radar and its flight level is decreasing quite quickly over Toulouse....do we ever find out the reason or is it not normally made public?
Sorry for what is probably an amateur query but interested to know.
Thanks.
