They just had a squawk 7700 but it changed to 2640 already.  |

7700? Emergency on a test flight?

7700? Emergency on a test flight? No doubt just testing...... |

They certainly test everything like that before flights.
A squawk 7700 will set off any radar from Brest to Basle.

My guess would be One Engine Inop. climbs and descends.....
We're descending every time with 1500 - 2000 fpm and climbing back with just 500 - 700 fpm...
The descends are too fast to be approaches, so probably normal descends OEI and then climbing back on One Engine... on two engines she should easily reach a V/S of +2000 fpm at these altitudes
On another note, @flightradar24 just retweeted a tweet from the (apparently) Air Traffic Controller responsible for yesterdays flight:
Now we know why there was a 7700

Thank you for the information, Starbucks. That was impossible to guess ...
Why did ATC require a 7700 ? Is there such a rule, or could the dumping in theory be a threat to anybody ?

To-day's test flight apparently just ended.
