Jet2 LS190 Emergency: What Happened Before Glasgow Landing After 7700 Alert

Jet2’s LS190 from Palma de Mallorca triggered a Squawk 7700 emergency alert while heading into Glasgow on Monday, drawing emergency crews to the airport ahead of landing.

The recall hits certain Ford Bronco and Ford Edge models. NHTSA added there’s a different glitch: on some Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair vehicles, the rear camera image might flip or show up inverted on the center screen. Timing is crucial here: rear visibility systems have shifted from being extras to mandatory features in the U.S. Under a federal rule, all new light vehicles built on or after May 1, 2018, must have rear visibility technology.
