Agree, i have a french friend, and if i didn't know he is not working as a pilot i would totally mistake him with the pilot talking over the radio. The same accent, the same way of speaking, even the same tone of voice. :D
Very well trained landing emergency, they nailed it they kept the thrust reverser open all the way. Those brakes i'll bet were pretty hot. With 33 tons of fuel on board.

Lmao that's exactly how I pictured her, especially when she says " Ops _Fiiive_ " with big shades on and a slight smirk as she hits the gas and enters the runway.
This goes to show that aviation is indeed an ultra-safe industry. Incidents are dealt with so much speed and professionalism, it is amazing! 👌 I just watched Matt's video and I agree with him when he wrote in the description that these professionals handled the situation so well, they "made it look like a walk in the park" 👌😊😎.
all I could think of was a flight attendant gut punching the Pax, and then when they flopped into their seat, buckling them up, and then leaving with a smile "have a nice flight." :)
Excellent job done by the pilots the controllers especially the Personnel of Atlanta Fire Rescue Battalion 7 which is the aircraft rescue firefighting detachment at Hartsfield everyone involved was at the top of their game when I worked there years ago, Battalion 7 was always a pleasure to work with. Hartsfield has always had a reputation for having some of the best controllers in the country they make it a little short with you on the radio, but you have to understand the kind of traffic they have to deal with. And if you don't believe me look it up on Wikipedia and look at the stats for the number of takeoffs and Landings they have on a hourly basis .

As a native speaker, at first I didn't even notice that he had switched to French. LoL
Watched the whole thing happen as we were waiting for takeoff on runway 9R. Turned ATC on to see how close we were to takeoff and first thing i heard was the Mayday. There was also a coyote on the runway at the same time. Props to the crew and ATC for handling everything so well and getting everyone back safely!
Jaymi Benson • A-ha! The little things they don’t tell you, but leave to your imagination. Not only looking for engine parts, but coyote parts that might be strewed all over the runway! Amirite?🤪
This must have happened right after I left work at the airport. Very chaotic day yesterday. plus the severe thunderstorm warning delays didn't help either too, glad everyone is okay !
All modern airliners are designed so they can flight with one engine out (for the dual engine planes at least.) It's one of the tests before an aircraft can be certified. There's also procedures for pilots to follow right from takeoff in case of an engine not working. One of the last takeoff decision points is V2, where the plane must have enough speed to fly on one engine in case of an issue or turn around and land. (th-cam.com/video/7p8Pqna4t7c/w-d-xo.html)
Yes it can happen, if ATC did not correct either it's that there was no risk in doing so, as the crew is obviously under a higher workload in these kind of situations.
No, I think the readback was correct, just with a French accent. I believe the transcription is inaccurate in the video. Another example being at 4:51, the a/c is cleared to land, but the transcription says "cleared for takeoff".
I don't know how I got here, but it's very interesting to see how everything seems to work like a charm in these situations and how the people involved function like a machine.
And that's the correct way to state that one has an emergency. None of this "We are declaring an emergency" nonsense which sometimes creates confusion about whether there is actually an emergency. And clearly the controllers underestand this ICAO standard terminology.
What an absolute gentleman and professional that pilot was...even in the middle of an emergency he could still manage to be polite to ATC despite the seriousness and concentration you could hear in his voice. Kudos to the ATC who, as usual was clear, concise and calm, another absolute professional keeping us safe in the air.

It seems that way, but after you've done it a while you hear the same phrases again and again and you're anticipating the responses, so you have a much easier time making out what they're saying compared to someone with no experience.
Such a good controller. You could hear the stress in his voice, yet the situation was handled smoothly, professionally and speedily. I’m sure the heart rate jumps through the roof when you’re dealing with an emergency like this and lives are at steak. It’s easy for us armchair observers to criticise from afar. Brilliant job by controller, pilots, cabin crew, fire service and even the other pilots who checked for debris. All in all, exemplary performance from the aviation sector, ensuring air travel remains the safest mode of transport. Good job, from London - England.
@brokosa yf the controller was talking at the speed US controllers typically speak at. They need to learn to talk a bit slower and more clearly as their diction is often quite bad. At minimum, they should adopt the ICAO standards for comms.
@All_Roads No one had any trouble? You're not used to listening to non-native speakers then. Listening to the AF pilots they were having to parse what ATC was saying. I can hear their hesitation and, as an ESL teacher, I am willing to judge what is causing it: ATC is talking to quickly for them to translate on the fly. They are having to repeat it to themselves in their mind & consciously translate. If ATC slowed down then they could translate in real time without the extra delay and with reduced chance for error. ATC is simply adding to their stress and their workload IMO.

That was impressive! Does anyone know how long an air traffic controllers shift is at an airport such as ATL? It must be exhausting to be so hyper alert every second of ones shift.
All part of a RIDICULOUS weather weekend in Atlanta while we were all down at Airliners International 2019. The day before featured an MD-88 fight a +/- 40 at 500 feet on the 26 side.
That clip highlights the difference in training, in this flight, they turned on the dead engine where in the United 328 flight they turned on the working engine, just minor disparities in training, but it's fun to see!
My understanding is that the heavily loaded 777's are tricky to get stable speed on the initial climb so losing an engine must only add to that. I refer to the other video where a 777 stalled after takeoff.
I was waiting for a friend to arrive in the cell phone lot that day. I could tell something looked wrong after the plane took off because it didn't gain altitude very quickly like the other planes did. Next thing I know it's behind me in the taxiway with fire trucks around it. I'm glad it worked out as well as it did.
Excelent video. I have a question about making a turn with 1 eng. out. Now im clearly not a pilot, but i seem to remember that you "allways" turn towards the good engine, since that wing has more lift. Or am i wrong there? I know there is procedures for the patterns around AP, but in Emergencies with eng out... ? Or is it only smaller GA's that this is important for ? This is not a critigue of the pilots, but just a simple Q to make me more enlightened :-)
This happened to me on a flight from ATL to LAX on May 28, 2017. Plane was diverted to Phoenix and we drove the rest of the way. Plane was eerily silent. So scary!
Will you cover the Eurofighter collision in Germany too? It was an accident in a restricted airspace probably without transponders. It's an ongoing thing at this moment. 1 pilot was found already to my knowledge the other is still missing. Allegedly both escaped the plane. No casualities on ground so far to my knowledge. Both planes lost debris over populated areas though. 2 Forrest caught fire after each plane hit them.
@@J.Stein1 Wow, I didn't realize it was illegal in Germany, too. I knew it was in the UK. That seems like a crazy law. There's nothing secret about ATC transmissions... and if there were, they wouldn't use unencrypted analog AM signals to transmit them.
You mean ORY to ATL? It seems quite unlikely that an Air France 777 was flying from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to Atlanta unless it was to complete a flight after a diversion or something like that. Air France wouldn't be allowed to sell tickets on that route.
I took off from ATL that day departure time 10:45 for FLL on Delta 2393, and was interested to learn what had happened when I got to FLL when I was scrolling during my vacation
@tie oneon Kilograms per Ground Nautical Mile is a useful figure. Depending on weight it could vary between about 12 and 20. That would be about a 4000 NM trip at an average of approx 14 KG/GNM. Those are pure guesses. So approx 56,000 KG trip fuel + reserves, alternate and contingency.
@@tamatoarulle4242 "Et" c'est évident pour un français, mais c'est toujours appréciable pour les gens qui ne sont pas natifs de la langue, mais qui ont malgré tout de l'intérêt pour ce genre de retranscription.
Well done by all, ATC, pilots, OPS, and ARFF all were totally in control of the situation and well coordinated. And Atlanta is always absolutely swamped with traffic.
I wonder if there was a translation error in the fuel load on landing. Air France usually records their fuel in kilograms, and 62,000 lbs is extremely light for a trip to France. I fuel the American Airlines 777 that flies from KPHX to LHR, and it usually takes 3 times that much (170,000 pounds). 62,000 kilograms would be closer to what they probably took off with (62,000kgs= 136,400lbs). Unless they dumped a lot of fuel and didn't mention it in the recording.
I don't like the speed of US ATC giving instructions, being sloppy and skipping any other syllable of any given word. But I like this one, really trying to slow down and speak clearly to the french! Very collected!
There’s some stupid stigma that ground/tower/approach people must talk extremely fast, but that’s not required. Pilots don’t talk like that. This should be discouraged. There’s no need for it. It creates confusion and stress. I’m a pilot too by the way. I speak slowly and clearly, even though tower/ground/approach is still spitting shit out their mouths like their auctioneers. Lives have been lost because of this. I’m not an ATP, but I’ve been flying for 25 years; also in class B/C airspace. Half of their stupid supersonic chatter is an uhh uhh... correction this that uhh uhh. It’s dangerous. I’ve never understood this. There are others who don’t do this, and it’s refreshing... and safe.
I agree! As a native English speaker there were a number of times during this video when the ATC’s instructions were just a blur to me. I wonder what chance the french air crew had of decoding it accurately. Surely something as fundamental to safety as talking clearly should be hammered home as part of basic training, and then monitored by line management to ensure controllers don’t slip into incomprehensible babble at moments of high stress.
Sir this comment deserves to be seen by thousands. I'm in flight school and i feel like I'm never going to be able to talk to ATC on a class B Airspace.
Ricky Fernandes you’ll get the hang of it. Remember that you are the boss of your airplane. If you misunderstand the controller, tell them to slow down. Your safety is all that matters.
So interesting to see all these genuinely funny, good willed, comments, and even when I don't have a doubt about that, I wonder if everyone here knows how much experience is needed for this to end up looking as simple as it did :-)
My parents have a friend who used to be with Hartsfield Fire. He generally didn’t like it because so many EMS calls inside he airport, but now and then he’d get to assist with this kind of stuff
Nobody here noticed that 62,000 pounds on board (with no apparent fuel dump) is totally impossible? Clearly the crew (or ops) reported fuel on board in kilograms (essentially only US airlines use pounds) and the controller very erroneously reported in pounds. He wasn't thinking logically. 62,000 pounds is barely 3.5 hours in this aircraft. This was a 9-hour flight. Pay attention!
ATCOs don't know the fuel burn rates of every aircraft that flies in and out of their airport. You're clearly right, of course, but ATC would have had no reason to notice that the number was off unless they just happened to be unusually familiar with that aircraft. It's not like they get fuel on board reports from 777s every day.
vbscript2--True. Fuel burn rates are not required ATC knowledge, and yes, this controller did an excellent job in handling this incident. But ATC and ground ops personnel really need to be aware of this kg/pound issue and, when dealing with foreign operators, confirm which units are being reported. A couple of very lucky (and skilled) Air Canada pilots can relate to this issue. (Gimli Glider).
@All_Roads Because the copilot ask to a ATC a turn clearance and juste after this he request to the captain if he want to turn, logically, the pilot ask firts to the captain and if he said yes, he ask to the ATC.
a plane of 330 people and full of fuel, went to a single engine at one of the most critical moments of a flight, so very easily been a massive diastater but it is handled with such calm professionalism that its just some wierd thing that happened today at work and plane is deleyed a few hours.

" Southwest 4378, the passenger has been ass planted back in their seat, ready for take off"
Well done all involved, it’s nice to see and hear all this professional coordination ,
4:54
my eyes: cleared for takeoff
my ears: no
Excelent video. I have a question about making a turn with 1 eng. out. Now im clearly not a pilot, but i seem to remember that you "allways" turn towards the good engine, since that wing has more lift. Or am i wrong there? I know there is procedures for the patterns around AP, but in Emergencies with eng out... ? Or is it only smaller GA's that this is important for ? This is not a critigue of the pilots, but just a simple Q to make me more enlightened :-)
OPS5 sounds very chilled out
This happened to me on a flight from ATL to LAX on May 28, 2017. Plane was diverted to Phoenix and we drove the rest of the way. Plane was eerily silent. So scary!
Will you cover the Eurofighter collision in Germany too?
It was an accident in a restricted airspace probably without transponders.
It's an ongoing thing at this moment.
1 pilot was found already to my knowledge the other is still missing. Allegedly both escaped the plane. No casualities on ground so far to my knowledge.
Both planes lost debris over populated areas though.
2 Forrest caught fire after each plane hit them.
cpt nordbart When that happened ?
@@eminaglavinic8848 few minutes ago.
tierlieb Omg 🙁
The problem is, listening to ATC is illegal here in Germany 😕
@@J.Stein1 Wow, I didn't realize it was illegal in Germany, too. I knew it was in the UK. That seems like a crazy law. There's nothing secret about ATC transmissions... and if there were, they wouldn't use unencrypted analog AM signals to transmit them.
Great video. Matt's video clips were a nice touch too.
Family took this same plane from ORD to ATL just 8 days prior. Crazy.
You mean ORY to ATL? It seems quite unlikely that an Air France 777 was flying from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to Atlanta unless it was to complete a flight after a diversion or something like that. Air France wouldn't be allowed to sell tickets on that route.
@@vbscript2 why not ? isn't it a basic ICAO right ?
I was listening to this in live ATC yesterday, damn it was scary listing to it live
223 Remington yeah, nothing bad happened and it’s a pretty “average” problem.. but listing to it live is just a lot more different
Well done, pilots, tower control, fire chief and ops
I took off from ATL that day departure time 10:45 for FLL on Delta 2393, and was interested to learn what had happened when I got to FLL when I was scrolling during my vacation
Thanks for the video. I wonder if the 62000 LBS was in fact 62000 KGS? Easily made error but a significant difference.
Exactly, they wouldn't reach Paris with 62.000 lbs
I assume that was kilos.
@tie oneon they need around 7.000 kgs or 15.500 lbs per hour. Ground speed is around 550 mph.
hey good catch
@tie oneon Kilograms per Ground Nautical Mile is a useful figure. Depending on weight it could vary between about 12 and 20. That would be about a 4000 NM trip at an average of approx 14 KG/GNM. Those are pure guesses. So approx 56,000 KG trip fuel + reserves, alternate and contingency.
Due to the nature of the emergency I'm assuming that the 777's weight exceeded the maximum allowed.
Maybe
The aircraft landed with 66k lbs of fuel, that wouldn’t be enough to get Paris, I would guess that they dumped fuel before returning to land.
i watch matt's video's all the time. love his content, good to see he gets the credit for the video!
No infants! Probably the majority of passengers slept through that!😂
1:29 Exact sentence is "Request Left Turn ( _tu veux qu'on tourne ?_ )", which means "Do you want us to turn ?", speaking to the other pilot.
Et?
@@tamatoarulle4242 "Et" c'est évident pour un français, mais c'est toujours appréciable pour les gens qui ne sont pas natifs de la langue, mais qui ont malgré tout de l'intérêt pour ce genre de retranscription.
@@ObsidianParis nan jvois juste pas l'intérêt, la plupart n ont pas fait gaffe et ils s en foutent du fr donc ça sert à rien ce que tu fais.
Absolutely amazing team work!!!
Well done by all, ATC, pilots, OPS, and ARFF all were totally in control of the situation and well coordinated. And Atlanta is always absolutely swamped with traffic.
ATL Fire and EMS you guys rock. TYFYS.
I wonder if there was a translation error in the fuel load on landing. Air France usually records their fuel in kilograms, and 62,000 lbs is extremely light for a trip to France. I fuel the American Airlines 777 that flies from KPHX to LHR, and it usually takes 3 times that much (170,000 pounds). 62,000 kilograms would be closer to what they probably took off with (62,000kgs= 136,400lbs). Unless they dumped a lot of fuel and didn't mention it in the recording.
Affirm, we all assume that was kilos.
I don't like the speed of US ATC giving instructions, being sloppy and skipping any other syllable of any given word. But I like this one, really trying to slow down and speak clearly to the french! Very collected!
There’s some stupid stigma that ground/tower/approach people must talk extremely fast, but that’s not required. Pilots don’t talk like that. This should be discouraged. There’s no need for it. It creates confusion and stress. I’m a pilot too by the way. I speak slowly and clearly, even though tower/ground/approach is still spitting shit out their mouths like their auctioneers. Lives have been lost because of this. I’m not an ATP, but I’ve been flying for 25 years; also in class B/C airspace. Half of their stupid supersonic chatter is an uhh uhh... correction this that uhh uhh. It’s dangerous. I’ve never understood this. There are others who don’t do this, and it’s refreshing... and safe.
I agree! As a native English speaker there were a number of times during this video when the ATC’s instructions were just a blur to me. I wonder what chance the french air crew had of decoding it accurately. Surely something as fundamental to safety as talking clearly should be hammered home as part of basic training, and then monitored by line management to ensure controllers don’t slip into incomprehensible babble at moments of high stress.
Sir this comment deserves to be seen by thousands. I'm in flight school and i feel like I'm never going to be able to talk to ATC on a class B Airspace.
Ricky Fernandes you’ll get the hang of it. Remember that you are the boss of your airplane. If you misunderstand the controller, tell them to slow down. Your safety is all that matters.
I wish more people would talk quickly
We can actually understand much quicker than people speak
I learned to fly in high school and never had an issue
@@PVflying if you have thousands of hours like they do you know the lingo and appreciate fast talking!
Also pilots are intelligent people
Quite surprised they were able to land without a fuel dump
Long ass runway.
Very responsive ATL TWR. Very good help to the pilots. Applause.
0 infants, best flight ever.
Quickest flight too
Superstar conversation well done .
1:27 Did you hear that "tu veux qu'on tourne" just after asking for left turn ? You haven't writted it ;)
I'm not French
VASAviation - That's why I'm here 😀
Yes you are right, he said in french to the other pilot:"tu veux qu' on tourne", i had to listen 2 times to hear it.
Mohamed Diallo Yes me too. Really difficult to hear it.
What does it mean
0 infants on board that was gonna be one quiet flight
4:54 Cleared to land* Woops! Who would want to takeoff with an engine failure? ;D 😅
5:25:25 PM

Really satisfying number
Great work from pilots and ATCo 👍🏽
So interesting to see all these genuinely funny, good willed, comments, and even when I don't have a doubt about that, I wonder if everyone here knows how much experience is needed for this to end up looking as simple as it did :-)
That Frenchie pilot did a good job.
My parents have a friend who used to be with Hartsfield Fire. He generally didn’t like it because so many EMS calls inside he airport, but now and then he’d get to assist with this kind of stuff
Great job by everyone. Thanks for sharing.
Great work as always!
Very professionals! Congratulations for controllers and pilots!!
Excellent video, wow! 👏👏👏
Thanks, Sophie!
Followed this live on flightradar, wondered what was the problem. Now I know🤗
Now you know :)
Nobody here noticed that 62,000 pounds on board (with no apparent fuel dump) is totally impossible? Clearly the crew (or ops) reported fuel on board in kilograms (essentially only US airlines use pounds) and the controller very erroneously reported in pounds. He wasn't thinking logically. 62,000 pounds is barely 3.5 hours in this aircraft. This was a 9-hour flight. Pay attention!
Read other comments below.
VASAviation - sorry, I didn't go down far enough. Some folks were paying attention👍😊
Man you nailed it been scrolling trying to figure out if anyone else caught that. Didn't make sense at all.
ATCOs don't know the fuel burn rates of every aircraft that flies in and out of their airport. You're clearly right, of course, but ATC would have had no reason to notice that the number was off unless they just happened to be unusually familiar with that aircraft. It's not like they get fuel on board reports from 777s every day.
vbscript2--True. Fuel burn rates are not required ATC knowledge, and yes, this controller did an excellent job in handling this incident. But ATC and ground ops personnel really need to be aware of this kg/pound issue and, when dealing with foreign operators, confirm which units are being reported. A couple of very lucky (and skilled) Air Canada pilots can relate to this issue. (Gimli Glider).
Lmao the “good evening” @4:40
Such a cool job being a pilot and Air Traffic Controler, nice video, I love it, thanxs.
Thanks for watching!
Wow thank God all went well, 330 souls 😱
Can you do Air Canada Flight 538 engine failure YVR to Anchorage Alaska?
So glad you got this up.
Amazing. Great work.
I love « tu veux qu’on tourne » (do you want to turn) just after requesting to the atc a turn. I love my country 😍
@All_Roads Because the copilot ask to a ATC a turn clearance and juste after this he request to the captain if he want to turn, logically, the pilot ask firts to the captain and if he said yes, he ask to the ATC.
Love your videos as always! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Imagine dealing with all of that in your second or third language. Kudos.
a plane of 330 people and full of fuel, went to a single engine at one of the most critical moments of a flight, so very easily been a massive diastater but it is handled with such calm professionalism that its just some wierd thing that happened today at work and plane is deleyed a few hours.
I know the lady on Ops 5! Volly FF at PCFD. Tought my fire 1 and 2 classes lol
