Departure: Would you like to go to Midway? UA1738: No we’re coming back to Chicago, just give us a minute. Me, a born and raised Chicagoan who works at ORD: YESSSS 🎉👏🏼🙌
Years ago I was playing with a VHF radio and picked up "Midair midair midar. (plane call sign, I forget what it was now) We have had a midair collision with unknown object. We have lost number 4 engine" That is all I got before I lost the signal. I learned on the news that night that is was "a very big bird" that totaled the engine. The plane landed safely. The picture of the engine on the news was bad. Up until then I had no idea just how much damage a bird strike could cause.
That reminds me; I wonder if there was interesting chatter coming out of YUL morning of September 20. As passenger on 7f 866 I saw a flock of geese pass a hundred feet below and right of us, right after takeoff. About 10 or 10:30am.
Excellent work by all involved! I'm curious, is it typical to taxi back to a gate in a nominal situation like this, since there was no fire and the engine was off? I expected them to stop on the runway and be met by emergency vehicles, but I might just be watching too much Mayday.
Evacuating passengers on the runway is dangerous, at least a few will be injured. In addition, it would shut down one side of the airport for at least an hour. If there is no fire and no fluids dripping, the plane can taxi on one engine back to the gate.
Compression stall and roast goose rather than fire. So one good engine. The other shut down resembles a rotisserie. Engines are always hot after use, gate gets passengers and luggage off. Obviously if anything malfunctions on the ground, they can change plans. But the pilots can see how hot the engine is. Hot brakes are more dangerous on the ground. Takes only one engine to taxi. With no fuel in the engine it won’t light, it won’t fly, but it’s happy to sit. Passengers are safest at the gate (plane will smell of goose). ‘Flames’ is the goose being cooked not the plane.
I really enjoy watching your videos, I wondered if anyone knows how common emergencies are in FAA airspace. Defining an emergency as anything that causes a pilot to declare an emergency, pan, or mayday,
This was good,I just loved how you did that Takeoff and landing,it made me think I was actually in the plane especially the takeoff,there will a lot of bird strikes now as this is there time to migrate,when a bird is sucked in to an engine does that mean the engine no longer works,what happens to it when the plane lands?sorry about my questions. I enjoyed this video and Thankyou VASAviation.
Hi Agnes, Your comments and questions are always more than welcome here. It depends on the type of bird. In case of geese (not a small bird precisely), the engine could stop working at the time the bird(s) is ingested even causing flames. Little birds will just desintegrate at the time they hit the blades and maybe nothing further happens and the engine does not malfunction - not on a visible way at least. Modern jet aircraft have several instruments to monitor all the parameters of the engines and see the smallest bit of possible malfunction anyways. When the aircraft lands, technicians and maintenance crew get in command of the aircraft to tow it somewhere and repair or replace the entire engine or affected pieces of it.
I don't think pilots should declare emergencies on the "declaring an emergency" way. They should try to use the standard phraseology (Mayday / Pan pan pan).
They don't typically use "Pan Pan" in the US. It was pretty obvious that the controller understood 'declaring an emergency' and handled it appropriately. Famously, US Airways 1549 transmission was cut off, so the controller didn't hear the words "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" but obviously figured out that "Lost power, both engines" was an emergency anyway. IMHO The pilot did the right thing by using the word "Emergency" during frequency changes, so all the controllers knew he was an emergency.
In my flight training, I learned that the first thing you do in an emergency is to pull out a cigarette and smoke it for a while. Not that you actually do that, but the hyperbole emphasizes the importance of slowing down and making exact calculated decisions that ensure a successful outcome, not knee jerk reactions that cost lives.
Shamayah David you are clearly stupid. Two pilots, now a third in training, have corrected you. You should take their word. Have fun turning back immediately and dying though

very nice add with the radar!
VASAviation - thanks to you!
Honestly, the older format is easier to follow. Appreciate the effort though.
John Ellis I agree, really not necessary and just clutters up things.
The radar is nice. Thanks!
One of those rare times where the pilot's not wetting themselves when they controller says "I have a number I want you to call..."
The guy working the radio sounds practically excited. The most enthusiastic emergency I've heard!
Departure: Would you like to go to Midway?
UA1738: No we’re coming back to Chicago, just give us a minute.

Your videos are AMAZING, especially the FSX. Keep up the good work man! 👍
Hey, appreciate all the support :)
Now with simulation AND X-Plane?
Man, I love you :D
Hey hey!! :D
Good job on the video. Liked the animation to go with it. Well done!
Thank you very much, Aaron.

Nice simulation. Excellent work
Thanks for watching! :)
Another nice video
Awesome!
Great video and simulation! Btw it was “cut through the pad” from tower at the beginning.
Thank you, Scott.
1738, aee, I’m like, “BIRDSSSSSSS”

Short answer: It depends
Compression stall and roast goose rather than fire. So one good engine. The other shut down resembles a rotisserie. Engines are always hot after use, gate gets passengers and luggage off.
Obviously if anything malfunctions on the ground, they can change plans. But the pilots can see how hot the engine is.
Hot brakes are more dangerous on the ground.
Takes only one engine to taxi.
With no fuel in the engine it won’t light, it won’t fly, but it’s happy to sit.

‘Flames’ is the goose being cooked not the plane.
dang birds.
(0:38) LOL Looks like the left main gear is flat!
good job.thanks. i love your channel..from Turkey.air traffic controller.
Thanks for watching! :)
I wonder if fetty wap was on that flight..
samko105 hahahaa
*NICE. CALLSIGN.*
sink rate.....dooit dooit pull up, dooit dooit pull up, dooit dooit pull (crash sounds)
Is this a 739 or 738? I'm asking as the Radar ID has B738 on it, yet the title here says B739
B739
Engine on fire because fetty wap was onboard
1738!!!!!
Why does radar say B738 but the description B739? Best seen around 05:38. Great job with the video.
Epic mistake when the simulation was recorded. *Real aircraft was a B739* sorry.
How are the Geese?
.....SULLY MOMENT
Great Video,,, Great Work,,, Very Informative,,, Keep Up The Great Work,,, Much Appreciated,,,
Thank you for watching.
I really enjoy watching your videos, I wondered if anyone knows how common emergencies are in FAA airspace. Defining an emergency as anything that causes a pilot to declare an emergency, pan, or mayday,
Everyday at some place.
Just my opinion, but I find the radar view kind of tedious to watch, since it updates pretty slowly. Anyway, awesome work as always!

VASAviation - Thankyou for your time and patience,I have a better understanding now.
seventain 38aigh aigh.
Hey, i would love to join the team!!
Email is in the description ;)
1738 lol
Is that FSX?
Negative.
Anyone for roast goose
Sully?
Shwepnick no
I don't think pilots should declare emergencies on the "declaring an emergency" way. They should try to use the standard phraseology (Mayday / Pan pan pan).
They don't typically use "Pan Pan" in the US. It was pretty obvious that the controller understood 'declaring an emergency' and handled it appropriately.

IMHO The pilot did the right thing by using the word "Emergency" during frequency changes, so all the controllers knew he was an emergency.
Excessively rare if you hear a MAYDAY someday from an American pilot on frequency. FAA considers the word "emergency" as a phraseology.
Also mayday and pan is not the same, and the emergency is more like mayday
Pan or Mayday is an emergency in the US and gets the same treatment. If you have a problem, the airport and airspace is yours.

Stupid pilots! Turn back immediately!
Turning back immediately is exactly what a stupid pilot would do. Glad they are not stupid.
In my flight training, I learned that the first thing you do in an emergency is to pull out a cigarette and smoke it for a while. Not that you actually do that, but the hyperbole emphasizes the importance of slowing down and making exact calculated decisions that ensure a successful outcome, not knee jerk reactions that cost lives.
Andrew Craner - The only "knee-jerk" circumstances are your comments! For obviously your flight training is sub-par!
Shamayah David you are clearly stupid. Two pilots, now a third in training, have corrected you. You should take their word. Have fun turning back immediately and dying though
Saber - two pilots? Wow! In training? I'm very impressed! And your status is? The third?
