That's a great controller prioritising the emergency I remember one time I got a brake fire and aborted a take off I declared an emergency and the controller tells me to standby and starts to give surface conditions to an aircraft entering the airspace...we were shocked and just looked at each other with the Captain.... the other aircraft had to tell the controller to deal with us first and forget about the weather
@@lm1584 no it was in West Africa ...the controllers are usually really really good but this day was just out of the ordinary. Maybe he never heard but I did say "We have a right hand main gear fire requesting emergency services" I suppose the fire station had heard the radio transmission because we saw a rescue vehicle outside , even before we had properly communicated the situation with the tower. We managed to evacuate the 13pax and the rescue vehicle extinguished the fire before the firetrucks arrived. The fire had been as a result of new brakes which the engineer had told us to pump during the long back track before take off we unfortunately over did it and they went white hot and heated the hydraulic line which then caught fire
I admire that controller who was Juggling inbound and out bound aircraft while dealing with this inflight emergency and never indicated a problem with the scenario.
Caryl, here. We have done a lot of flying for vacations, usually Orange County, Calif., Or LAX...both to NYC. When my mother passed away in 1999, being an only child, I had to fly from O.C./ or LAX to Atlanta or DFW to Meridian, Miss. to care for my father. In 4 years, I got enough Delta FF miles for a trip to Europe. This being said, I have always wanted to tell air traffic controllers how much I appreciate what they do and how safe I feel knowing that they are down there looking out for us. You have to have nerves of steel, an inner peace, and a load of confidence to do that job. Thank you all so very much. Peace.
The comms during this event was just incredible. Hearing the tower work to clear the airspace and radio channels so effectively was just damn impressive!!!
To all of our air traffic controllers, y'all are the tip of the sword. Every emergency I've experienced as a pilot, without y'all could result in so many tragedies. Thank you to ATC for all the good work yall do. ATC is so good in this country.
Nice to see that! I’m sure ATC appreciates you. They never get applause after a great landing or people saying hi like many Pilots do. From maintenance and ground crew and em opps to ATC and Pilots we all appreciate the work you do to get us where we are going smoothly as possible and safely, so thanks to all!
@@darkjudge8786 She was clear and concise. She refused? When? Point to the parts where she was asked to repeat and didn't. The ATC controller was heavily accented and sloppy.
@@johnnukecop - I couldn't agree more. Clear down to the point and comms switching between CPT and F/O can easily be explained by them doing their tasks/checklists/setting up FMS for the runway etc. Good example of straightforward comms and a crew knowing what it is doing. I liked how the CPT asked for vectors away so he could lose altitutde rather than doing a get-there-itis descent for the runway only to figure he's too high and then having to fly a single engine g/a.
I love your channel. Thanks for posting these. As a major airline Captain for 30 years, I’ve learned a lot from these videos. I really appreciate your passion.
Adam Dobkin I go into a simulator every six months and train for various types of emergencies. To watch scenarios in real life, with ATC, other aircraft on frequency, Fire Rescue, and numerous other encounters that you can’t simulate is beyond valuable. To think about how I would have reacted in a similar situation. In the Simulator, it is me, the First Officer and an Instructor/examiner. There are none of the other factors I listed above. This videos can be an important learning tool for all categories of pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, etc. I hope that answers your question.
I liked the fact that the controller cleaned the other aircraft off the frequency; which helped minimize the distractions and any chance of being blocked by another aircraft.
@@pinkycatcher that will be a bigger challenge. To tell everyone to move on to a standby frequency . Everyone will keep on tuning into that frequency unaware of the emergency at some point. Plus maybe they didn't have a standby frequency
@@derrick_blak_ No what I mean is move the emergency aircraft off the common frequency to a new one. I'm surprised there's not a standard always on emergency only frequency
At my last ATC facility we had a designated single frequency for inbound emergencies. No need to “clean up” frequency, emergency aircraft doesn’t have to change frequency and all concerned sectors plus CFR command can hear updated information.
Talk about professional! I am continually amazed at how air traffic controllers devote themselves to helping in any way they can. It’s inspiring to listen to the cockpit and tower interact with such calm efficiency
That was effective in so far as it worked, but it's not what the rest of the world would call "professional". Listen to the Thompson Airways bird strike video if you want to hear genuine professionals at work.
I’m a brickyard pilot. Both engines did not fail. One engine lost power. The other engine had a previously deferred bleed failure so they had to start a descent or the plane would slow leak it’s pressure. You should change the title. It’s completely incorrect. The first officer who was flying posted about it in our internal pilot Facebook page.
Man you videos are awesome, the first time I flew(10-15 times per year) at first I was a little un easy thinking about all the emergencies but then it actual gave me comfort to think how professional the pilots and arc always are and how little these incidents turn into larger accidents
I love watching your videos. I saw one not too long ago with an E-190 and HAD to call my husband. His company had done some work on that very plane fairly recent to the incident. It turned out that it was nothing to do with the work done on it, but it always gets me a little nervous. He always knows that he does his job well, but there is always going to be that nagging little voice if something happens. He works with a guy who was an inspector on the Space Shuttle Challenger. The guy just about had a heart attack when it exploded.
Thank you for what you are doing. These videos are very interesting and educational. Also huge respect to the professionals whose voices we've heard here!
@@atubebuff 175 can’t dump fuel. Max takeoff is 38k and max landing is 34k. So it’s pretty unlikely you’d ever be in an overweight landing scenario. Assuming you departed as max takeoff weight, the fuel burned on taxi and takeoff would’ve brought you down below 34k by the time you got turned around and back on the ground. The only aircraft with dump valves are ones that carry significantly more fuel than they can land with; that would take hours to burn off.
Always amazes me how the crew and the ATC maintain such a tremendous level of calmness and professionalism in such a difficult situation. Kudos to all!
There is so much that we on the ground can learn from aviation and marine communications. Most Comms are sloppy and dragged on, however when you hear professionals, it makes a massive difference.
It may not have played a factor, but it's interesting they chose BNA over a couple other early choices. Embraer has a large maintenance facility with 2 huge hangars, so it certainly was convenient for them. It's known at EAMS and they do C Checks for RP, AC and others.
And the scariest part: Both of these pilots were probably in their mid 20s and make probably half, if not less, of what most of you here do. I could only imagine the stress they felt , but they did a great job and ultimately a card in their career hat.
Good controller and very good pilots doing their altitude for airspeed management. Would like to hear why there's dual engine issues... that's usually fuel or birds.
Aye. A dual engine failure is extremely rare. I’m not sure what threshold the NTSB has for opening an investigation. I’m sure they have some discretion, and this certainly seems as close to a major crash without crashing as one could come. Either way, their insight would be interesting.
I moved away 3 years ago after my whole life in TN. Listen to these anyway, but sure as heck smied through this one. Plus, it was almost Southern Hospiltlity.
@@vanlifeonthego6684 Whenever I heard the county mentioned on the news it was always pronounced like "Mow-rie" or "Maw-rie" so that's what I grew up thinking how it was said.
This is the exact same aircraft that David Dao Duy Anh got dragged off after refusing to leave the aircraft to accomodate deadheading crew causing all that fuss about United Airlines back in 2017.
I don’t think they actually lost both engines. I heard they lost one engine and the remaining operative one happened to have an inoperative bleed system - which lead them to do an emergency descent. I’m guessing ATC misunderstood it initially for a dual engine failure.
Depends on the altitude, if an engine fails during takeoff the other still does have power to climb to a safe altitude and bring them back down... you can't maintain cruise altitude though
I used to fly for that airline, they drill in engine failures into you so much that, when you have problems with one, its typically a non-event. Of course, I've never had one actually fail on me, but I've had a few issues. And there are far worse cities to be stuck in than Nashville.
I thought I heard at the beginning the pilot said one engine at minimum power. ...Probably during the course of running through the checklist for an engine at minimum power, maybe the pilots were able to get it back up running on full power again...
I have been asked that question one time during my training, exhaust manifold broke loose during departure... returned for uneventful precautionary landing. I choke up every time I hear those words.
VASAviation, thank you so much for highlighting the approach to the designated runway! That made it so much easier for me (non-pilot) to track where the aircraft was headed. I also want to say that I was tickled to hear the accent of the ATC! I’ve mostly grown up in “the south,” but am often embarrassed at how it’s sometimes difficult to understand a “Southern accent,” or drawl as it’s called. That guy was great!
Like a commentator below I am always surprised in these situations that there isnt a dedicated frequency - often time seems to be taken up clearing others off the airways and in other videos there has been lots of garbled interrruptions etc until finally the clearing happens - is there a reason a dedicated channel isnt made available which would seem to make sense, but Im always aware there might be considerations that are not obvious?
