    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.

    Everyone did an amazing job, but I especially liked the clear dictation and cadence of the tower ATC. That was crystal clear.
    Also I'm super happy about the ground emergency incident commander repeating back to the tower what was told to him to confirm. I don't think enough ground ops do that and sometimes it makes things confusing because they aren't understanding the radio communication or the overall situation correctly.

      The Controller was professional and excellent.

      The failure was NOT at all catastrophic.
      Not a MAYDAY !!
      NOT an imminent threat of loss of life
      It was a simple contained engine failure.
      More a PAN call maybe as there is some URGENCY to get an single engine aircraft on the ground.
      This poor initial non standard communication caused the Controller to give continuous expeditious return vectors and even a nearer alternative airfield.
      These were all ignored !!
      The crew did not at all convey the lower level of theat....and just flew on for mile after mile..
      with terrain issues and other traffic from which they had to be protected.
      An excellent professional indeed.
      It's the crew that seemed to be the rabbits !!!
      Taking ages to complete the basic engine fire check...the descent and approach check.
      No need to do a runway performance check with such a simple failure.
      Any plane can return to a runway it just departed from ....
      with this level of failure. ...

    I've noticed on a couple of these emergency landing transcripts that even though nothing dangerous or catastrophically broken was found on the aircraft after inspection by Fire Command, that the pilots always took the offer for an escort to the gate. That is some good captain work there. It would be foolish not to take the offer of an escort during taxi even if nothing is smoking or on fire, because that ONE TIME you refuse the offer, is the time the plane will explode in a ball of flame moments after the fire trucks pull away. That is how shit goes.

In this case, the controller asks them to repeat the message, clearly caught off guard. If the crew had called Mayday three times, followed by callsign and the nature of the emergency, everyone would have been on the same page quicker.

    I would recognize that voice anywhere. Mr. "Supercalm Captain" was the FO on a SWA flight I had to ABQ years ago. I sat on the wing, and I noticed the engine was swinging around more than usual while we taxiied out, and there was a panel on the leading edge of the wing right over the engine pylon that was missing a couple rivets. After we took off and were climbing through the usual Phoenix afternoon bumps, I noticed that the engine was bobbing up and down and the leading edge of that panel was actually flexing open and shut. It was now missing more rivets too. I shut my window and figured if we made it to cruise altitude without losing the engine, we would make it to ABQ. We did. I reported it to the flight crew, and the FO says in this SAME VOICE as the very langorous guy in this audio "Weeeeellllll..........we just might have to check that ouuuuuuttt!" I had to catch a connecting flight but I left feeling like they definitely did not take what I was seeing and reporting very seriously at all. I am pretty sure they just loaded up another load of people and continued on. PS I'm a pilot and was also at the time working as an aircraft mechanic apprentice. Got signed off by FAA to take my mechanic exams this last fall.

    That Citation was making me crazy. You think ATC would tell that Citation to get the hell out of the airspace temporarily, such as, "Citation N8543B, we have an emergency aircraft with engine failure. They are currently above you at your 1 o'clock. Please temporarily vacate Class Bravo airspace and turn right heading 360 without delay."

      @@morganghetti You are correct that i had no idea but you sure can turn around everyone. That Citation was clearly a hazard for a plane in emergency because it was "sticking around". The ATC should have given instructions to the Citation, any instructions, to get the heck away from that plane. Seemed no matter what was going on with the emergency aircraft, here comes that Citation put-puting around. I am surprised the Citation did not land on the taxiway next to the runway at the same time the emergency aircraft was landing. Seemed that Citation was literally attached at the hip to that emergency aircraft. I know if is was me in that Citation, i would have requested vectors out of Class Bravo to hold until everything was figured out. It was almost like the emergency aircraft was getting an escort by the Citation. Great ATC here but that Citation needed to be anywhere but there at that particulatr time. An emergency aircraft with an engine failure should not need to keep looking around for other aitcraft jurking off in the airspace.

    I am a former jet engine mechanic with the Marines during the 1980s, and then with TRAMCO in Everett, WA. At TRAMCO I worked on many SW Airlines planes. One of the biggest red flags to me while working at TRAMCO was that there was no tool control at all. Mechanics purchased their own tools and no inventory of tools was performed at the end of the shift, so if a mechanic dropped a tool somewhere in the aircraft or engine it would not be detected. In the Marines we would verify that every tool was accounted for to avoid such an incident. A loose tool somewhere in the airframe or engine could be catastrophic.

    I appreciate the ATC controller's clear voice, brief messages, and his presence of mind to ask for fuel and souls on board (in case of a crash, they need to let first responders know how much fuel will burn and how many bodies they need to account for).
    A solid, professional job by all parties. Just another day in the commercial aviation industry.

      Right. There's a way of communicating an emergency and it's written in blood. First thing is to demand attention and priority by saying MAYDAY three times. Not once, or never, or dropping in "emergency aircraft" or setting the transponder to 7700 in the hope ATC notices. Expect runway 8? LOL! The MAYDAY aircraft tells you what its doing and what help it needs. And you stick MAYDAY on the start of the calls, not emergency aircraft on the end. ATC keeps approving, but in an emergency they aren't being asked, they are being told. But you won't get any love for telling them they aren't doing it right, so long as things turn out OK in the end.

    Definitely great job by way of it landed and everyone was okay so that’s a successful landing! But - I kind of don’t see the ‘brilliance’ so many have commented about. Here’s why. (Be kind! 😅)
    ATC handled things beautifully….. I had a few gripes with the piloting though. ATC having to point out he’d vectored them to the airport but they weren’t actioning his requests, which were as a result of their request to return asap. Was clearly a fairly ‘fresh’ F/O who understandably panicked somewhat, it just would have been helpful that someone told the ATC their intentions so that they didn’t wonder what on earth was going on. I totally get it was ‘aviate, navigate, communicate’ - it just kind of left him hanging, asking for something then ignoring his solution. Again, I assume it will have been a new F/O who in that first moment, forget they needed to do a bunch of checklists before they could bring it back in…. But still. 😅
    Also, what on earth was that declaration? 😶 ‘Catastophic engine failure’ got the poor ATC going wtf and having to question them. Mayday would have been a clear and immediate declaration of a problem and that’s all that ATC need to know at this point. Now they know exactly what to start putting into motion, instead of playing detective with the guy who’s also making requests then ignoring them. And not listening properly either. 3:10 ATC request a turn of 280 for terrain. F/O mishears and confirms ‘320’. Unfortunately ATC failed to notice too and inform of incorrect read back. And don’t get me started on ‘clear all aircraft’…… the heck he thinks ATC are going to do? Radio the Citation pilot and ask him to go shake the F/O’s hand at 4000ft?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Leave the ATC’ing to the ATC controller!
    Can tell the ATC was being cautious by double checking they were still aiming for the runway requested and not changed their mind without telling him. He had to spoon-feed them to get them to confirm some of the basic, essential things he needed to know.
    I bet the Captain needed a beer after that. And the F/O a new pair of trousers. 🙈

      @@You.Tube.Sucks. Number of soals on board is submitted with the flight plan. However, especially for commercial operations, the number that you file is not always the number that actually show up. It's a good number to have in case the plane goes missing but in an actual emergency it's best to verify how many you counted on the plane when you closed the doors. Having to refile a flight plan just to update soals on board before takeoff when you're not changing anything about your flight plan is unnecessary for the typical day to day operation.
      The fuel that they ask for "in time" is in part to know how long you can stay in the air for in case ATC can't have you land there right away. Suppose another aircraft crash lands while the emergency aircraft is inbound. Or what if the tower needs to evacuate, which has happened in the past. ATC needs to know how long they have to get you down somewhere. Every pilot calculates fuel burn based on their flight plan, and even though fuel in time is also filed with the flight plan, the pilot is in the best position to inform ATC how long they have to keep flying.
