I'm always flabbergasted by how calm, collected, and organised the pilots and ATC are in these situations. I can barely comprehend the thousands of hours each individual has to spend memorising and practicing procedures both for peacetime, so to speak, and for emergencies. Then to put it all into practice when the proverbial hits the fan is another thing entirely. A lot had to happen over the last century to get the process to become this well oiled-machine and I applaud everyone involved.
Experience and training, and I'm sure that their psychological profiles show that they can all respond when called for. No one wants a panic person on the ground nor in the cockpit.
I have no background flying. I love seeing all the little technical things highlighted so I know exactly where to look. Text at 0:44, highlighted plane/ground vehicals when talking, the ILS at 4:10, extended final explanation, MITOE highlight. I feel like I know every bit of info needed to follow along. Absolutely fabulously done.
That’s the best visual representation of ATC - airplane video I’ve seen actually ever. The mainstream channels doing ATC only have the bare basic maps and a colourful dot + subtitles. Keep it up lad, wishing you million subscribers!
@AirTrafficVisualised - Did you hear about the OE-LBM that got it's whole front bashed in by hail? Flight number OS-434 had to emergency land in Vienna after a hail storm that wasn't visible on radar hit them - hard!
