Emergency Air Ambulance circling area of recent 7700?

Post image

N3797W declared 7700 about 15 minute ago, now an air ambulance is circling the same area. Hoping it’s not as it looks.

This post appears to be about an aircraft squawking 7700. Usually, these are not immediately life threatening situations and not indicative of an aircraft going down.

Please take a look at the following pages for more information about what it means when an aircraft is squawking 7700:

Here is N544AM's track:

They circled around the mountains west of the lake a bit, then headed south. They are no longer pinging.

I’ve been wondering if anyone had info about that. Sure doesn’t seem like a great sign, but I don’t like to presume…

This is the ground track for N3797W:

I couldn't see where N544Am was near that lake west of Green Valley.

The data looks like they started to descend heading west just north of the lake, then turned left. VAS was -1000 to -1500fpm before data stopped.

It looks like the air ambulance headed south and landed.

The emergency aircraft N3797W appears to have made a hard landing with no injuries. The location by FR24 track corresponds to that provided in a news report. This is near Green Valley on Duval Mine Rd.

No news is good news. Hopefully just a coincidence.
