THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

HOW I DO VIDEOS:
1) I monitor media, airspace, looking for any non-standard, emergency and interesting situation.
2) I find communications of ATC unit for the period of time I need.
3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.
pilot was so calm
I love calm, polite, professional emergencies.
9:12 my favorite part, so calm I was falling asleep 😂😅😂
The skill and professionalism of the people in the aerospace industry is truly incredible. Great job, everyone.
True, but I don’t think Boeing will be getting any praise that both engines didn’t fail. I’ve been watching this Boeing catastrophe, and it seems for the most part, Southwest seem to be the airline with the cleanest record. I can only imagine if they were to crash one here in America, Boeing would be sweating bullets.

@@Bcourtney7Boeing didn’t manufacture engines
There’s some videos on this page that might change your mind 😂
@@Bcourtney7Boeing doesn’t make the engines….
Woaw, that final tower controller has such a relaxing voice 😅
Can someone ask him to do some sleep stories over the radio (or studio mic) 😅 He's better than ambien!
So is the second controller. He sounds dreamy.
Nice job to all. Really appreciated the [callsign] Emergency on each message as the reminder to all on frequency that this is the emergency aircraft. Never seen a heavy vectored outside the Bravo for a long approach before. I could imagine a little Cherokeee or 172 flying around VFR and seeing that plane in their airspace out of the corner of their eye!
Pilot stated he wanted a 15 mile final (which would have been well inside the Bravo), and the controller was warning him about weather that he would have preferred to vector him to turn final inside of. That said, the pilot gets to do what the pilot needs to do for his emergency, and if that means that if he changes his mind to a 25 mile final (which happened here), then leaving the Bravo is something that happens. Controller did the right thing by notifying him his longer final would put him outside the bravo.
If you listen to KDFW frequency 118.42 on liveatc, you will hear other aircraft tell the controller the base of the storms were at 4200’ which is likely why he descended him to 3000’.
I was flying with my instructor on this frequency when this went down
We'd like to stay on this westbound heading for awhile. The FA's are about to bring our crew meals up. We need to be fed and hydrated so we can run the "I'm Safe" checklist before we land. On our pay, we can't afford airport food prices. Besides, the terrain of West Texas is more favorable to an off airport landing if we lose the left engine.
We don't mind going below and out of Class B airspace. It will make the TCAS RA maneuvers more exciting for the passengers.
We appreciate the scenic tour of North Texas; and if that left engine fails, let's see, 15 miles and 3000 feet we'd be short of DFW. DTO is the place to go. We'll just ask the DTO tower controller for a "Short Approach."
"Left Traffic", DTO for Rwy 18, no worries for L or R, just 17 and 18.
You always do a great job thank you!
Can you post MX209 - breeze airways LAS to CAK on 7/26/24?
This is the second time I’ve noticed breeze fly a missed approach into CAK and curious why
I still don't like the idea of having a departure minutes before an emergency aircraft lands on the same runway. If the departing aircraft has to abort and stop on the runway, the emergency aircraft would be forced to go around, in this case, on one engine.
Why stop on the runway with high speed turn offs on 18L???
Do you not need to use call signs when your in an emergency
Very pro. Love it.
For the last time sir......18 LEFT
😂
Right, 18 Left, right?
It might not look like it but there’s a lot of things to do in an engine failure situation. And it’s easy to forget which runway especially at an airport with multiple parallel runways. Him asking it again is the right thing to do. Better to ask then to have another incident.
His confusion is likely based on the fact that DFW NORMALLY uses 18L for departures and 18R for landings. I've been based in DFW for 30 years and have probably landed on 18L just 4-5 times.
@@Aldrooooo I understand but it was like 4 times right??
I hear pilot and controllers doing a bedtime audiobook
Cool as the other side of the pillow. Well done, fellas.
Complete professionals all around the world
Am I missing something? Didn't they land on 18R?
That's 18L. It's on the left from the view of the plane coming in to land.
@@PiskeyFaeri ah! I get it now. I had a look at a more detailed runway map of DFW. There are 7 runways at DFW in the map I'm looking at dated 2015. There are basically 5 north / south runways! 17L, 17C, 17R, 18L and 18R. They just are not all shown clearly in the video.
@@tlfu6836 Makes sense! Sometimes the maps confuse the shit out of me, so it can take a second of squinting.
2:05 Making turns only to the live engine is a hangover from flying underpowered piston twins. Absolutely no need in a B737. Noticed he made a right turn on to finals.
Funny I thought the same thing, that initial left turn I thought was good ADM but then he turned right into the dead engine to intercept the ILS. Dont fly 737s but I assume single engine doesn't matter which side
@@wheresthedoctor6629 Providing you use the correct technique, flying a jet transport with an engine out is rather easy. No superhuman skill or Mayday call required.
Isn't an engine failure usually a PAN PAN?
My understanding is you can use either Pan-Pan or Mayday, depending on how serious you think the engine failure is. A flame-out might be a Pan-Pan, but a birdstrike or structural failure might be Mayday.
who's engine on this bird?
CFM.
Wonder why he thought it was unsafe to turn into the failed engine at first, then did on the approach?
It's not unsafe, it's just not quite ideal.
Never turn into a dead engine. There's a reason why it's called a dead engine
2:47 American 2046 (not 2026)
Textbook.
lol turn into the better engine like its a piper navajo or something.
@@acbulgin2 But then they proceeded to turn the other way at a lower altitude and slower speed than during the climb out... It's also a lower roll rate not the rate of turn that's potentially affected.
@@acbulgin2 In modern airliners this is just not a thing. He's never done that in training, why now? Because if he had they would be like WTF?
In climb, they were probably in a lower energy state and wanted to turn into the good engine while getting stable. Also, you don't know how the airplane was handling for them at the time.
Definitely reminds me of an Air Force prop mentality - then I guess they realized it was no big deal so made the right turn later. Either way it didn't really hurt anything to be cautious at the start.
@@N1120A Nonsense. There is no such thing.
This felt really sloppy. Very few call sign read backs, lots of missed comms, etc.
They requested 18R. ATC told them they could only take 18L.
On their way to 18L they did meet a company plane coming of18R. So 18R was in use!
They clearly stated mayday mayday mayday. Why were they not allowed towards their requested 18R while other aircraft were allowed on 18R??
Second failure of ATC: to let another aircraft depart prior to them landing. If that other aircraft had an aborted takeoff, this MAYDAY plane would not be able to go around on just one engine.
3:29 they said "if we can do the left, that'll be better" They just did not expect it to be available (I guess it is used for takeoffs) but as you say, since they were an emergency they were in fact allowed to land on 18L which also surprised them hence asking for confirmation multiple times.
You don't listen and comprehend very well do you?
they absolutely could have gone around on a single engine if the departure had aborted takeoff. They weren't stacked in so close as to be an issue.
We train single engine go arounds every time. They definitely can go around on single engine.
I’m so glad you weren’t in the room making these decisions.
Why do they ask for number of souls?
For the emergency crew in case they crash. They need to know how many "souls" (eligible for rescuing) they need to be looking for.
If, for instance, the aircraft were to carry dead bodies, someone could still call them "people" but the emergency crew doesn't need to count them during rescuing operations
Then he still gets the 3000 ft doing only 229 knots, and he makes a right turn with only his left engine running, unacceptable. It is far too easy to do a spin stall making a right turn with only a left engine running. I have never actually seen that happen before
5:49 American 11, errrrr.... *awkward*
What’s awkward? The guy is likely talking to a dozen other aircraft as the audio is trimmed for this emergency. He said 11, immediately followed by “correction” which in this job automatically corrects (voids out) and replaces it with the correct callsign.
The only thing awkward here is you commenting without knowing how this job works. Keep up the good work!
@@user-my7gf9bu1x Go crap in your hat. If you don't know, and can't get the reference, then you keep up the good work.
Tell us you don’t know how ATC works without telling us you don’t know how ATC works.
Again, what’s awkward? He started using a certain number - used the appropriate phraseology “correction” immediately in the same breath - and then corrected himself.
I’ve been doing the job nearly 30 years. That’s how it works. Try again pal.
"Dallas" means Love (KDAL)
Only "DFW" (KDFW) is DFW.
Get it right, bud!
Woah, congrats.
You can't spell polite without pilot and that's all I came to say.
Flying a long trip with this guy would be very annoying.
Jeesh, sloppy ATC... No "Regional" on departure... No clearance back to DFW... No Arrival ATIS information.
Turn into the good engine ? This guy sounds like a riddler
Keeping the good engine on the inside of the turbos to keep the plane more balanced, since the thrust is asymmetrical that point & the lift also becomes asymmetric in a turn, Adding those imbalances together (in this case) by turning right makes the aircraft much more unstable. Turning into the good engine is standard procedure because if the aircraft is closer to stall speed or you have a control issue, the plane can get away from you and put you in an unrecoverable spiraling turn into the ground. So “turn into the good engine” makes sure you remember to do it correctly, even if you have to turn 270 instead of 90 degrees.
@@javbw this is a bunch of nonsense. it is not thing for 737.
@@javbw it's a 737 no one cares, plane will not fall out of the sky
Boeing!
B doesn’t make engines
Are you making a joke or a real comment?
Airbus!
Not that much of an emergency if you can fly all over the place like that! Lol
American Airlines and Boeing - another losing combination.
Boeing doesn't make the engines.
@@millerkarns what's that, logic? This is 2024!
What airline you got? None. Yup.
Wow Glad this guy isn't my pilot
I am no pilot, I have no experience nor do I wish to persue training. But I am sure you have a reason to dislike the pilot. Communication with Tower seemed quick, not stressed and to the point. I did notice he did not say his 'callsign/ ident/ whatever' in every communication, that seemed weird. But is that a reason not to have these people as your pilot?
I don't want to provoke you but I am genuinely curious what was wrong in this incident. :)
What's your problem with him?
aviate, navigate, communicate. The most important thing the pilots had to do was keep the plane in the air not talk to the tower.
@@legomaster4860 There are TWO pliots. Furthermore, nothing was threatening the safety of the flight once the failed engine was secure.
