First time I've heard the pilots giving souls and fuel without being nagged by ATC :). Also wonderful handoff between the ATC controllers at Potomac Departure

AirTrafficVisualised: Graphics, A+. Narration, A+. Completeness, A+. Top shelf stuff here. 👍👍👍

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

I've been trying to tell others on the other ATC channels that take liberties with the situation, changing it slightly, editing and changing the situations. This channel is the best.

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rivercrimea4849]

@@JohnSmith-zi9or I stopped following any other ATC channels, for all those reasons. This is the only one I track now.

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

Best ATC comment .. they tell her the plan and that they have checklist and she says, "That's fine I'll leave you alone." Brilliant.

The king is back! Loving the quality of the videos! Would love to see more GA incidents as I’m preparing to be a commercial pilot in Brisbane, Australia

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

All the best with your journey to becoming a commercial pilot! Always interested to hear what viewers want to see so I'll see what comes up.

Elegantly handled by all.

13:26 Good thing to note is that the schematic shown is that for the newer Airbus A320s. Older A320s, including N766US (I believe) would be equipped with Green Hydraulic NWS. The point with Reverser 2 is less relevant since assuming autobrake is used, thrust reversers would have no effect on the commanded deceleration rate.

So the passengers only got a taxi voucher? I'd want a refund and free flight.

[@ironboy3245]

Pretty sure cancelled flights are refunded

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

I'm not sure exactly how American Airlines handles cancellations, but the passengers probably had the choice between a seat on another flight (potentially the following day) or receiving a refund.

[@hecaryou6816]

I just subscribed yesterday due to your great narration, visual presentation and details for such videos.
And now we get a new one today.
Amazing and great video!

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

Thanks for watching!

[@kwikb]

The exact same scenario happened to us about 20 years ago on a flight from Reagan to Orlando but we ended up in Baltimore. Very interesting to see what was probably happening. A little unnerving to see all the emergency vehicles as we crossed the threshold. Thanks for the video.

[@clxudzYT]

One of the best visuals I've EVER seen in ANY atc video .. well done, mate!

[@QFWP]

Awesome video as usual. There is some serious time taken to put this all together. Kudos. Love your speculation at the end. Seems eminently feasible

[@GrumpyFelo]

these visuals and narration, are so good. best channel imo

[@rivercrimea4849]

Great work on the vid, as always!

[@albertotognoni4819]

Hydraulic issue ouch

[@Boodieman72]

Aircraft always try and land on the longest runway when there is an emergency.

*OLD MOVIE HELP*
I am looking for a movie i believe was based around 1950. I think the pilot was a seed spreader for farms and would charge the local kids to fly with him.
He was building a plane to do a front loop. I think the plane was painted yellow.
At the end either he or his buddy crashes and is stuck. He yells, "Don't let me burn!"
His buddy hit him with a shovel and knocks him out then he dies.
Dude didn't want to comply with the new FAA or ATC.
Does anyone have any idea the name of this movie???

[@TheSuperSquareThingy]

Hi! Just in case you're still looking: this sounds a whole lot like The Great Waldo Pepper, 1975, with Robert Redford.

[@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat]

@@TheSuperSquareThingy I found it. Thank you. I had some issues with playing the movie and the platforms we use. What a great movie. Thank you
