  • THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
    06-APR-2024. An American Airlines Boeing 737-800 (B738), registration N970NN, performing flight AAL2679 / AA2679 from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, TX (USA) to Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport, FL (USA) shortly after departure declared MAYDAY, reported loss of hydraulic pressure and requested return to the airport of departure. The airplane landed safely on runway 17 center, stopped on the runway and requested the maintenance team to come out and install the landing gear pins.

    THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
    THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

    HOW I DO VIDEOS:
    1) I monitor media, airspace, looking for any non-standard, emergency and interesting situation.
    2) I find communications of ATC unit for the period of time I need.
    3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
    4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
    5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
    6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
    7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.

      Because that plane was turning and passing through Dallas Love Field final approach path, DAL go around is 2000 to 3000 ft, so that's why ATC had them climbed to 5000

    Are the gear pins needed to keep the gear in place because normally hydraulic pressure keeps them locked?
    Are they something on the plane, or does someone need to run to the hangar and get them?

    • @ImpendingJoker
      @ImpendingJoker Місяць тому +3

      The the lock over link will lock the landing gear in place. The hydraulics just add an extra layer of stability to the landing gear. The gear pins are installed because if a hard bump or too hard a turn can actually unlock the lock over link and cause a gear collapse. The hydraulics also actuate the steering for the nosewheel, so most likely they would have to be towed in despite him saying they would taxi in.

    • @DavidBines
      @DavidBines Місяць тому

      True, the reaction link has 2 springs that will "break" gear over center
      No danger of gear collapse. No hyd pressure, no steering at NLG

      @@RLTtizME Here in the US declaring an "Emergency" can be for something as simple as a pack failure or as complex as an multiple hydraulic failure. There is no distinction made between urgent and non-urgent. Most US pilots and FAA controllers do scoff at the europeanization of "Their Industry". Hence the misuse of Mayday calls. But gotta give yanks credit for trying. You can't always please pedant europeans.

Generally there is disagreement as to what declaration was or should have been used. The "in-between" is fully clarified when they are asked by ATC to state the nature of their emergency. Inexplicably ....this is an emotional issue with most EuroBrits.

      Because the aircraft all have traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS) and the controllers want to make sure the pilots know the status of other aircraft appearing on the TCAS. It's the nice thing to do for pilots dealing with an emergency - take one more concern away so they can concentrate on flying the aircraft. Quit looking for problems with the way emergencies are handled - you're not flying the plane or providing air traffic control. When you graduate to either of those - then you can show us how it "should be done."
