Airplane Emergency Codes Group 3

This document discusses several airplane emergency codes: Code 7600 indicates a loss of radio communication with air traffic control. Code 7500 signals a hijacking in progress. The "Mayday" call is used when a plane is definitely going down. The "Pan-Pan" code brings awareness to non-life-threatening problems like engine issues. Alert 2 refers to a serious mechanical or electrical failure where fire departments meet the plane upon landing. These codes help pilots communicate critical issues without causing passenger panic.

Going on a flight can always be a bit tough for


many of us. Clearly, there are lots of things that
can be an issue thousands of feet in the air. While
this is the fastest way to travel and things have
gotten much better when it comes to safety, things
can still come up. That is why Airlines have proper
codes. These codes help with a lot, but most
importantly, they are put into place to allow for
people flying to not be scared by anything going
on.
This is a Code that no pilot wants to hear,
CODE 7600 but the crew would likely also not be a fan
either. The Code is a bit odd to deal with
and often not an issue with the plane but
rather an issue with some sort of
interference. Code 7600 simply means a
loss of radio communication.

This could mean a complete loss or a lack


of signal to a given airport you're nearing.
The real issue here is that you have to fly
into an airstrip after asking for permission
to do so. If you cannot radio the tower to do
that, this can force the airplane to circle
around until they can get through.

The term Mayday is used as a form of
MAYDAY ! MAYDAY ! telling people that you and the plane are
going down, without a doubt. It is routinely
MAYDAY! said 3 times so that the airline or base can
know for sure that you're going down. Also,
if there is an issue with your radio going in
and out, the more you say it, the better
really.

When saying "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!"


it's truly there to be an efficient bit of
knowledge that you're being honest about
going down. This term is rarely if ever used
for pilots who are experiencing a few
problems but not going down yet. So, it's a

CODE 7500 If you find out about squawk 7500, it
means a high-jacking is in progress or
probable. This code is obviously given
immediate attention and is recognized
worldwide. Hijacking, although serious, is
very rare in comparison to the number of
flights in and out of airports on a daily
basis. The last known hijacking of a plane
was in April of 2018 with Air China, and
there is generally only one of these events
per year.

The Pan-Pan Code is often a known one due
PAN-PAN to the fact that any three-word usage
usually means something bad is upcoming.
Overall, the Code is used to bring
awareness to a problem on board or outside
the ship. This could mean the plane was
struck by lightning, which happens far more
than you think. Planes are equipped to not
have many problems with these strikes any
longer. Sometimes, that can change and
thus, a Pan code will be issued. Sometimes,
this will report the loss of an engine or
auxiliary power being accessed or lost.
Truthfully, it is loaded but not life-
threatening like others.

The situation starts heating up when an
airplane sends the signal for Alert 2. This

ALERT 2 alert is like a ramped up version of Alert 1.


It still refers to some sort of mechanical or
electrical malfunction or failure, but in this
case, the circumstance is dire.

If you hear Alert 2 muttered by a passing


flight attendant, put down your peanuts
and tighten your seatbelt.

When this alert is given, fire departments


aren't just notified to be ready but are
directed to meet the plane on the tarmac.
This is actually more common than you
might expect, as planes often have
