Emergency squawk alert

Watch the video: Sound packs and alerts

With Emergency squawk alert on, your staff know at once when a pilot declares an emergency in the simulator. When a pilot sets the transponder to 7700 or 7600, the airline's live map marks the flight and the staff who review PIREPs get a notification in Vaeroly.

What it shows

| Code | Shown as | |---|---| | 7700 | Emergency (7700) | | 7600 | Radio failure (7600) |

1. The flight's plane on your airline's Live map gets a red ring, and its row and panel show the code.
2. The staff who can review PIREPs get one notification (the bell at the top), with the pilot, the flight and the code. It opens the live map.
3. When the pilot sets a normal code again, the mark goes by itself.

Good to know:

• Vaeroly only reads the transponder. It never sets it. ACARS notes a code once it has stayed set for a few seconds, so dialling through 7xxx on the way to another code doesn't count.
• Your pilots see the mark on the airline's live map too.
• Nothing leaves Vaeroly. No email or Discord post.
• Flying online? On VATSIM or IVAO, squawk 7700 only when ATC is online and you declare an emergency to them. This alert is for your airline's staff, not for the network's controllers.
• The codes stay in the flight's log, so they show on the PIREP with the rest of the flight.

For pilots

Nothing changes in how you fly. Set an emergency code only for an emergency you are flying through in the simulator. On VATSIM or IVAO, squawk 7700 only when ATC is online and you declare an emergency to them.

Turning it on

Switch it on under Staff → Airline settings → Optional features → Emergency squawk alert (under Flight analysis). It is off by default.
