I’ve talked on the radio to both that Approach controller and FW center controller many times, the whole ATC team in and around the DFW area is top notch, proud to be a pilot here.
A pilot could work his or her whole career and never have an engine out on a flight, yet it is something that is trained for over and over again, in all phases of flight. There was clearly some urgency in the voice of the pilot but everything was handled in a straightforward, professional manner. This isn't routine because it doesn't happen a lot, but this is why pilots are paid a lot for their work. These pilots deserve credit for a safe landing with only some frayed nerves among some of the passengers.
I was on a flight to Las Vegas holding short on 18L (sitting on the right side of the plane) and we were holding short for a while. Then I saw a plane lined up for 18L. This is not normal. After 10 minutes, a plane landed on 18L with emergency following behind it. Now I know why. I love this channel.
Thats so annoying. Aircraft transmit this into to operations all through the flight via ACARS. And it can also communicate with atc, seems so outdated this stuff could not be relayed to atc instead of asking the pilots
Frequently different ATCs will ask that same question multiple times. Frustrating, distracting for Pilots. Fuel I get, but souls.....what do they do with that data?
I love listening to the interactions of the crew and ATC when things hit the fan. When a MAYDAY goes out, ATC pretty much speaks and the Red Sea parts for the aircraft in trouble.
Tower said no need to switch to ground frequency; he'd taxi them in. I assume that was to give the crew one less thing to think about, and I love that.
4:04 Looks like he flew right over Carswell AFB and Meacham field. I was stationed at Carswell and got my Airframe and Powerplant training at Meacham Field. One time on lunch break at A&P school we saw a Beech Barron land gear up right in front of the Tower at Meacham.
The controller was likely just giving the pilots situational awareness as there is a massive amount of training activity as soon as you leave the bravo around DFW. Since they were on an IFR flight plan no clearance is needed to enter the bravo as long as that is where you are vectored or you are following a filed route. In this case I believe he was getting vectors to final for the localizer 18L or cleared to the IAF for the localizer. Regardless, ATC will prioritize him as an emergency aircraft so it was likely just a heads up to stay vigilant on his traffic scan
8/14, American flight from LAX to DFW, malfunctioning flaps, turned around for emergency landing. Eventually landed at DFW, another plane stuck at the gate for maintenance issues. 3 weeks ago, another flight I was scheduled for, wide body form LAX to CHA, canceled due to maintenance issues. What's going on American??
"ThIs InTeNsE vIdEo" Yeah no, pretty textbook outcome, complete non event. We train for this yearly. Honestly nowadays the scariest thing about flying is passengers, too many of them acting like absolute fools and making our jobs far harder/more dangerous than it should be.
Wait......the controller is telling them to maintain this or maintain that......doesn't the Mayday aircraft tell THEM what they are going to maintain? What if he can't maintain 8,000 ?
Losing an Engine is not an Emergency Item in the QRH. You will find it in the Abnormals Section. I have lost 3 Engines. Had one Blow Up over Lake Michigan on the way to Berlin. They were all a handful but from a Real Emergency situation. But you always want to declare an Emergency for handling. But its a long way from a Mayday or PAN situation. FIRE!!!!! Is an Emergency!!!!!
@@catcherreeves5560 Very shocking to a layman. I understand the disconnect. An Engine Out is NOT an Emergency Procedure. It as Abnormal Ops. Now: It is always wise to Declare an Emergency or Pan for ATC handling purposes. I always did simply to OWN THE SKY AND AIRPORT!! But nothing to cause great alarm other than requiring Landing At The Nearest SUITABLE Airport ASAP. Now: you want to know what a real Emergency is to get hyper rattled about???::::: )))))))))) FIRE !!!!!!!!!!! Been there!!! Done that!!!!! 200+ yard Trail Of Fire going across Lake Michigan!!!! That will rattle your cage!!!!
@@saxmanb777 Well...There is only one Book that counts. And that is The QRH of a specific TE Airliner. And Engine Out is NOT in the Emergency Section. It is in the Abnormal Section. NOW: I have declared an Emergency but for one reason only. And that is ATC Handling and to OWN the Airspace and Airport !!!! Not because it is an Emergency. And I do not feel comfortable with a Captain that gets rattled of an Engine Failure. FIRE...YES.. Engine Out ..NO.. But that might not be correct in todays DEI Hires!!!!!
@@silverwings1843 umm okay. My QRH doesn’t really have an abnormal vs emergency section. So it’s up to us to decide how urgent it is. Either gets us the same priority handling from ATC. Since my QRH engine failure section says to “land at the nearest suitable airport” I’ll still consider that a Mayday. I had a failure in my sim session today in fact. I said Mayday each time like I have for many years. Never have been corrected by the instructors. I guess that makes me DEI.
You’re the expert! We’re trained to bring it to a stop ON the runway. Why take a chance on steering off the runway, when you’re on a single hydraulic system with UNKNOWN damage to the airplane?!
I thought when theirs a Emergency landing all run ways are shut down and that plane can land on any one Thats crazy the tower had to tell him which run way SHUT DOWN ALL RUNWAYS NO ONE IN THE RUN WAY.
The world doesn't come to a screeching halt because a plane loses an engine and needs to return to the airport. They do have priority as a declared emergency and if there's some legitimate reason they needed a specific runway over another, then they would get it. The nature of the emergency is relevant. It is not necessary to close the airport in every and all emergencies.
I cannot believe there was a commercial INTERRUPTION within the first couple of minutes of this video!!!! This is a very INTERESTING video and I'm sure most other viewers did not approve!!!
Cool, calm, & collected - it’s what happens when there are two white males in the cockpit, flying the airplane. No drama, no “feelings,” no emotions, nothing. True professionals. Good job boys. 🤙
V1AbortV2: what a stupid and obnoxious thing to say. You have no idea what the race of the pilot s nor controllers are, all of whom deserve credit here. For all you know either pilot could be black, Asian or any of the numerous races. Furthermore there’s no reason whatsoever to suspect Capt. Tammie Jo Shults of SWA’s flt. 1380 fame in 2018 would’ve handled this situation any less professionally, contrary to what your idiotic remark suggests. Next time you’re tempted to comment on a video why don’t you let discretion take the better part of valor and just shut the hell up?
The pilot's request to turn left due to the good engine made no sense. Considering after the U turn he turned right base and right final. Zero logic. Just saying. Everyone calm down. 😮
It makes sense to turn away from the dead engine, if given the option. Wasn't there incoming traffic on the parallel runway? Isn't that why he stayed west of the airport. So the option for left traffic was lost.
@NickMirro Well, listening to the radio calls, he wasn't concerned about traffic. He was concerned about the side of the dead engine. Which makes sense in a twin engine turboprop, or any twin prop. That's due to torque from the propeller. Not an issue in jet engines. It wasn't unsafe, just weird . Cheers!
@@Cowdog1 No doubt. The training teaches what to do, but not how to feel. Sounded like he was making an effort to remain calm. I guess until you survive one of these, expect multitasking to be a challenge 😬

That is good to know!
Agreed.
No one cares that “you’re a pilot.” Typical latino too, going by your username. Machismo attitudes are incredibly dangerous in aviation.
Which liner are you with?
My sister in law’s stepdad was an ATC at DFW for over 25 years

Such professionalism by everyone concerned.
The epitome of professionalism, helpfulness & This was a pleasure to listen to! Thanks for posting it!kindness from ATC & American pilot!

WOW! When they asked about how much fuel and how many "souls" on board the calm conversation was chilling. Very professional.
I heard the reply on fuel but not the number of souls onboard

@@seagullsbtn I guess they think passengers may decide to bail out mid flight?

So thankful everyone is safe
Don't know what to say... super proud of this industry i say
I love listening to the interactions of the crew and ATC when things hit the fan. When a MAYDAY goes out, ATC pretty much speaks and the Red Sea parts for the aircraft in trouble.
Good Visualization and a crisis well managed, thanks for the Upload 🔥
Thank you. Appreciate it!
Here's professionalism at work by ATC, pilots, and emergency services. Beautifully done!
Very Professionally Done!

That pilot is one cool customer. He sounds like he’s just out for a Sunday drive
Very professional good job to all involved
How cool was this pilot
July 21, 2024 departed 8:59 AM, returned to DFW 9:45 AM.
Proud to be a Dallasite.
Always interesting to see when they turn for final approach basically over you home.
and THAT is why they make the big bucks. Awesome job
textbook. And there was a lot going on at DFW at the time.
The pilot on coms was sure cheerful. Maybe he didn't really want to leave Dallas?
doubt that
Well done by the crew!
Their plane is trying to kill them and they sound calm as can be. Professionals.
I live in Fort Worth and didn't hear anything about this.
American airlines has the greatest pilots in the world and the only airline I will ever fly
What are the implications of the plane exiting Bravo airspace?
The controller was likely just giving the pilots situational awareness as there is a massive amount of training activity as soon as you leave the bravo around DFW. Since they were on an IFR flight plan no clearance is needed to enter the bravo as long as that is where you are vectored or you are following a filed route.

can you add the date and time when this took place?

Today is taxi day and i'll be talking to ATC ground crossing 18L & 18R.

Yeah no, pretty textbook outcome, complete non event. We train for this yearly. Honestly nowadays the scariest thing about flying is passengers, too many of them acting like absolute fools and making our jobs far harder/more dangerous than it should be.
??? Why not fix the engine before take off ??? Hmmm...
When did this happened?

Wait......the controller is telling them to maintain this or maintain that......doesn't the Mayday aircraft tell THEM what they are going to maintain? What if he can't maintain 8,000 ?
If he can’t, then pilot states “UNABLE”. And does what he is able to do, or requires.
Why was this a mayday call rather than pan? Standard engine failure.
Engine out on a two engine aircraft is a Mayday.
Pilot sounds like he's done this before.

why not clear on the high speed and create a safer clear of runway situation
You’re the expert! We’re trained to bring it to a stop ON the runway. Why take a chance on steering off the runway, when you’re on a single hydraulic system with UNKNOWN damage to the airplane?!
Why the pilot decided to turn to left because there is their better engine?
Doesn’t matter.
OMG your'e not flying a light twin saying turn into the good engine -
Eh?
Yeah. That surprised me, but I am not a pilot.
"OMG your'e not flying a light twin saying turn into the good engine -"
What's your point? Are you an 737 pilot?

Not to quibble, but AA 1552 was NEVER over Dallas; per this visualization the engine failure actually occurred over Fort Worth.
Oh my goodness 😅
well that is a quibble if ever I saw one! I mean technically Arlington was involved, so was eh - Denton if we're going to get technical
For us outsiders everything is Dallas in that metro area, even though there are dozens of cities all blended together.

Nitpicky, but according to the flight path shown, the aircraft was over Fort Worth and its suburbs rather than Dallas.
It's all Dallas for us outsiders.
