The Capt. requested the F/O to insert the "Hold" at PAS to comply with the published "Engine Out SID", Holding at 4000 feet. In this demonstrative example, rather than activating a prepared EOSID; "Secondary Flight Plan" in the FMGC, the F/O simply made a lateral revison at PAS sequencing a "Hold" for the aircraft to enter. This is done to allow the crew to follow ECAM Actions and handle the emergency safely. In real life, once resolved, vectors for approach to land would then be requested.
It's only a pan pan pan because almost every airliner can fly on 1 engine. An a380 can climb and maintain an altitude on one engine, albeit much slower and much gentler. Mayday means you have radio priority, meaning nobody else can talk. To call a Mayday in a survivable situation can cause heavy fines.
froggie767 Losing an engine is a mayday emergency especially at a critical stage of flight I.e after take off. They will be given immediate priority to return to the field.
A mayday distress call should be made if the aircraft is in imminent danger, in which case, it was under control and no imminent danger existed. However, the captain got the pan pan call wrong... it's "Pan pan, pan pan, pan pan" and not "Pan pan pan".
It has always been "pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan". It's just the Americans have never really recognised or acknolwegded that phrase fully since its conception.
In a FAR Part 25 aircraft an engine failure is not an emergency and therefore only a PAN call is required.

these are not only golden rules in flying, but also in any teamwork!
As if those pilots of US Airways 1549 were this relaxed during engine failure, but it seems the other way around according to atc communications
Funny how people forget these basic rules. good review.

is this a flight simulator?

Really nice video dudes!
number 1 go on boeing cause its epic
This was filmed a long time ago... Before it was Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan, back when it was just Pan Pan Pan.
I always feel frighten when they stepped on rudder on airbus :(
its a sim for those wondering.
We "declare an emergency" now
Pan Pan Pan is a state of emergency where assistance is not urgently needed, as opposed to mayday which seeks all attention.
Why "Pan pan pan" and not "Mayday mayday mayday"? Engine failure is a major failure, isn't it?

well, he's a pilot, not an actor
31,000 feet on one engine.......i dont think so
they restarted the engine....
