    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.
    SOURCES OF MATERIAL, LICENSES AND PERMISSIONS:

    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.

    The handoffs from Departure ATC to Approach to the Tower were as usual very smooth. However sometimes there are glitches I'm getting the airplane in touch with ground services upon landing. But I commend LAS for the AARF folks being proactive and communicating well with the pilots.

    Note the controller asked which engine was out (the right) -- then only gave left hand turns so they were not turning into the dead engine. Lost a good friend in a KC-135 that turned left at low altitude with the #1 engine on fire, stalled and nosed in from 500'.

    • @MagnumOpusSRT
      @MagnumOpusSRT 2 роки тому

      Wrong. The Rnav Sid they were on were left turns. The engine out procedure at LAS on takeoff would be right turns regardless of which engine failed. Their failure was high enough not to require the EO procedure.

    • @jamesholaday2900
      @jamesholaday2900 2 роки тому +1

      @@MagnumOpusSRT Well, I was only going by the depiction, which showed all left turns, and the audio, which said all left turns, and common sense, which would dictate all left turns. Otherwise, why would the controller need to know which engine was failed? The tower might want to know, so they could tell the fire department. But what do I know. We can't all be experts. Just trying to give kudos to the controller.

    What kind of communication is done to the back during an event like this? I imagine the pilot would report the engine out and they have to return to the airport, but then as a passenger you see them climbing, moving away from airport, and then circling. I'm betting quite a few people get pretty nervous not knowing why that's happening.

  • @CharlesCornettFL
    @CharlesCornettFL 2 роки тому +4

    I noted the second controller said "I'll keep you close to the airport." I took that as a shot at the previous controller. The reason this is a Mayday is 100% about what happens if they lose the other engine. Controller 1 seemed a little insistent of keeping them at a *minimum* altitude, where I would be trying to get them as HIGH as practical to maximize glide. I would see no reason to not have them circle within 5 miles of the airport until they were ready. The air crew was exceedingly professional, reflecting plenty of training. The male voice sounded like an "old salt" at this.

    The number of engine failures is of concern to me. The FAA has a history of ignoring their own rules and twin engine aircraft operating over water depend on extended-range twin-engine operational performance standards certification or ETOPS. How long before we have a dual engine failure? Fact is I know of one already.
