Bar none the best ATC content on this site. It's not only ATC though - your description of why FOD on a runway can be so dangerous was spot on, look no further than Air France Flight 4590. There's more incidents and accidents with FOD, but this one was "special" with it being a Concorde.
I loved hearing all the planes, company and otherwise, looking out for each other! Also rather impressed by how late in the incident you managed to weave in the connection to a previous video this time around 😆
I wish US pilots weren’t pressured to avoid declaring an actual emergency. I know it’s expensive and results in an investigation and paperwork, but it’s another burden ATC isn’t making decisions with all information, pilots have to put something ahead of flying the plane Thank you for your hard work, as always!
So the aircraft had an unexplained vibration and was returning to the airport -- and refused to declare an emergency. Turns out a part had come loose. Seems like this could have been bad. Why not declare an emergency out of an abundance of caution? Seems to be common sense.
When I began the channel, everything was done manually. A few years ago, I put a few months into writing some custom software that does a lot of the heavy lifting for me.
Makes you wonder why, after the dozens and dozens of 'unlatched' cowlings that have fallen off over the years, the FAA doesn't say "enough is enough". All cowlings must have an electronic indicator in the cockpit indicating that they are latched. And what's up with the pilots not noticing unlatched cowlings during their walk around? I've seen security cam footage that clearly shows a cowling is unlatched and the walk around pilot walk right past and not notice. Maybe they should come up with some ultra modern way to ensure this doesn't happen, like a checklist? :)
This wasn't a Boeing screw up. It was a Southwest maintenance screw up. This is fairly frequent for Southwest compared to other airlines that operate 737s. While Southwest has the most 737s, no other airline has had more than 1 cowling issue in the last 5 years (this is going off of a quick search, not statistical analysis or anything), while Southwest has about 8 videos regarding engine cowlings failing or falling off completely. There is a serious maintenance issue with Southwest, and so far it has only led to minor cosmetic issues. They better get their shit together. Anyways, considering that only Southwest has this issue frequently, and on older airplanes, it is clearly not a Boeing issue (this time).
That’s a dud of a situation for a video lol. Where do they say the “cowling is ripped open” like the preview shows? All I heard was vibration and no emergency

No matter how many of your vids I watch I can't get over the production quality for your videos! Keep up the great work
Thank you for the kind words, glad you're enjoying the videos!

Agree. Graphics and content are very good!👍🏼
The highest of quality with these types of videos. Well done!
The way that UPS pilot said "Sweeeet" may have gotten a laugh out of me
It absolutely got a laugh out of me! 😆

I like your new format with narration.
There were no passengers on board, it was an empty ferry flight.
Good pickup - should have realised when I searched for other Southwest 8507s and found lots of different types and route pairings.

Thank you for your hard work, as always!
As always, stupendous quality! Keep ‘em coming :D
Imagine escaping Oakland only to be sent right back to Oakland
could be worse you could be in detroit
Well done, mate! 🙌
Thank you! 👨✈️
1:32 I believe the clearance was «climb unrestricted to 10 000»
2:53 «ATIS information»
Good pickups!
@@AirTrafficVisualised Good video with amazing visuals as always!
Thank you!

Not a boeing related issue... sorry boeing haters!
Maintenance likely did not properly securing the cowling after foing thier inspections
This happens quite often for Southwest. Seems to be a reoccurring theme for them.
I wonder if this was a replacement aircraft for the dutch rolled southwest phoenix to Oakland plane?
Great video! How do you make these animations? Like is it a program or just by hand?

If the airlines would spend a little more on quality bungee cords these cowlings wouldn’t keep falling off.

One good thing about the screw-ups at boeing, southwest and united is that it keeps you guys busy making videos.

11:26 is where the "ripped open" comment is quoted from.
this is very scare my cat is sad
This seems to happen a lot to Southwest. Seems like they have issues with maintenance quality as no other airline has this reoccuring problem.
united is giving sw a run for their money
You mean like the wheels falling off the United 777?
