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.
CODE 7600 This is a Code that no pilot wants to hear, 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.

MAYDAY ! MAYDAY ! The term Mayday is used as a form of telling people
MAYDAY! that you and the plane are going down, without a
doubt. It is routinely 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 true
emergency.

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.

PAN-PAN The Pan-Pan Code is often a known one due 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

ALERT 2 the signal for Alert 2. This 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 mechanical
malfunctions.
