      it's likely everyone knew this already but when you are dealing with a possible fire, it's a good idea to eliminate any doubt/confusion. Also, it being a heavy with 354 people, there may have been additional emergency units responding from outside the airport and they may be less familiar with aviation details.

      @byronhenry3746 6 років тому +4

      D X It's a good idea to avoid it, but not necessary. The faster an airplane moves through the air, the more authority the flight controls have. So if the operating engine is left at full power, and the airspeed slows below a certain point (Vmc) then the pilot will lose control. As long as he keeps speed up, and engine power down, he can turn into the dead engine just fine.

  • @AlaskaErik

      An "alert" refers to ARFF classification of an aircraft with an emergency.
      Alert 1 is declared when an aircraft has a minor emergency reported of some type.
      Alert 2 is declared when there's an emergency declared for something major- such as a loss of systems, engine failure, no gear, etc. ARFF vehicles are staged and will "chase" the aircraft after arrival.
      Alert 3 is declared when an actual accident has occurred or is known to going to be occurring. Aircraft inbound with an actual inflight fire. ARFF will be staged and ready to go and local area fire departments are notified and responding.
