In Germany listening (and even more interfering with) air traffic radio communications is illegal. To take part or listen to air traffic communications you need a "Funkzeugnis", which would mean a radio operator license on the one hand, and even if you have such a license, e.g. as tow driver, Ops or ATC, legally you can only listen to those frequencies on duty.
Can they poop their fuel into lake constance? Isnt this like a nature reserve? He could have just vectored them to Davos for the fuel dump, thats where it belongs.
Have they learned nothing from Swiss air 111...if there is any smoke conduct an emergency descent, fly direct to the airport and disregard fuel dumping.
Thanks to everyone who told me about this incident via Twitter and email. I gave it full priority and I've been working on it for many hours to bring it up today!! Give a BIG LIKE for these pilots and the Swiss ATCs who cooperated and worked very professional on a Saturday pick hour morning! =)

Many thanks for uploading this video! I was a passenger on this flight.. FIRST OFF - THANKS to the pilots of Qatari Airways! The flight crew got a bit nervous but overall maintained composure. Of course we were oblivious to what the emergency was, although it was something serious enough to bring us mid flight into ZHR during what was a routine flight when most everybody was asleep, including myself.

THANK GOD WE WERE OVER THE EUROPEAN LANDMASS .. with that happening over the Atlantic the implications would have been dicey to say the least. AGAIN THANKS SWISS ATC and QATARI PILOTS - GOD BLESS.
Skyguide training baby! :D haha just joking, but one of the best ATC training in the world, not the one, but one of them. I tried to postulate, exams to enter was so intense and difficult even for people like me working in aviation for years.
Something I love about european controllers compared to US controllers is they're happy to speak slower and clearer, and then everything only needs to be said once. So many times on american ATC they speak a million miles an hour and have to repeat themselves 3 times.
The TWR has a very calming voice and that is extremely important in an emergency. Calm and soft and no rush at all. And a big Like for the gear reminder. Easy to forget things when there are smoke and an ongoing emergency.
Excellent English and nearly neutral accents. Those female ATC's should teach radio discipline. Very professional job ladies. To bad I can't say the same for the pilots..
I disagree to some extent. (Unnecessarily) bad phraseology. "Descend/Climb TO altitude" is a big no no. E.g: It's "descend 5000ft" and never "descend to 5000ft". Small difference with potentially big consequences. Very basic rules of RTF are not respected here.
Polschinski POB will included in the FP Fuel wise is not important in this case because crew were damping fuel... however I’m sure it was reported on the first emergency call.
could an aviator explain how a 777 is still overweight for landing and needs to dump fuel after flying round about 6 to 7 hrs from Miami, i.e. fuel for approx. 7 hrs left in the tanks
That's not right +mcdonaldc1989 . They were cleared to land by Approachd and then with Tower after the frequency change. They didn't receive clearance on their first approach.
Great video. Always look forward to watching them. Question, what are the CAT 1 through CAT 3 they were talking about between time stamp 0:45 and 2:45?
they opted for a cat 1 approach. This gives the pilot maximum control and the ability to land softly and modulate breaking with the correct flap/spoiler configuration for a potential passenger evacuation. Also, smoke in the flight deck suggests that there may be electrical system damage. It would be unwise to give the aircraft full automatic control when you can't say for sure if these systems have been damaged or not.
what does mayday mean? how is it different from emergency declaration? I watched your other videos, ATC usually asks for souls on board and fuel remaining for emergency, but not in this case. So I guess the two situations are somewhat different.
681726 mayday means that theres a direct threat to the safety of the aircraft. A Pan Call means that theres a importent situation, but no direct threat. A Pilot feeling sick is a Pan emergency, a engine fire or a fire onboard is a mayday emergency. If you just say declearing an emergency it doesn't get clear weather or not there's a direct threat to the aircraft
You can declare an emergency both ways, if you do not state the nature of the emergency immediately, they will ask for sure. Just declaring an emergency can most often be found while kind of checked in and in some sort of established communication. The MAYDAY or PAN PAN code words repeated three times are intended in radio communication ( not only aircraft but also ships for example ) to be easily recognized and catching attention from any stations listening. Especially on ships for example while listening to the radio in the background you start to kind of filter and only get more alert and actively listen if you recognize your callsigns Bering addressed or something like suche Code words. Furthermore in Radio communications such code words usually call for a certain radio discipline and not possibly interrupting or blocking frequency.
If you have a plane with too much weight, you have to flare really gently as not to overstress the airframe on touchdown. The crew of the 777 couldn't dump fuel until this point because of system problems, so they expected to land too heavy. The CAT3 with autoland lands the plane by autopilot with a preset flare maneuver made for normal weights, the pilots wouldn't be able to control the softness of the touchdown, so I assume, thats why they requested the CAT1 approach.
They offered Cat III in case the smoke was so bad they couldn't see the instruments and had to do an autoland. Like the B747 in Dubai that crashed because they couldn't see anything in the cockpit.
Another good video. The smoke must have dissipated after the initial Mayday, otherwise I would not have expected them to do that 360 on final waiting for the cabin. If you're on fire get on the ground. Swiss 111?
Eric Guggi aims l was being pedantic... In England it is measured in millibars, also in some other parts of Europe. Only Eastern bloc areas measure in hectopascals in mainland Europe
From Miami to Doha, and they still need to dump fuel over Germany because of an overweight landing. Strange. I'm also surprised ATC never asked for remaining fuel and souls on board.
LeTang Well in this case political stuff is not important, if there's a runway and it would be good for emergency landing they are going to use it - and for sure this is right^^
That's the first time I've heard the Tower controller ask the pilots to confirm gear down and locked. Odd request, since they never mentioned having any issue with their landing gear.
@@andij605 hearing the pilots reaction I wondered if somehow in the cockpit workload they did not yet get to that checklist item and have been quite happy about the friendly reminder.
Monish Johnson In the event of a possible fire a Mayday is the best option incase the fire quickly escalates and they need to land faster with the emergency services.
Good job by everyone but really baffled how a most basic (and potentially critical) RTF phraseology rule is not respected by Swiss ATC in this instance. E.g. it must never be "descend TO 5000ft", but "descend 5000ft". The "TO" uttered before the altitude clearance can easily be misunderstood for a "TWO", creating a totally unnecessary risk of misunderstanding with regard to the actually cleared altitude. In this particular case this risk of misunderstanding was admittedly neglibible, but considering how consistently the "TO" was used before the altitude value, I suspect it's a systematic issue. Really really odd, and not very professional, to be honest. Serious incidents and near misses have been the result of this...
I believe you are sick in your brain. The pilot was super-polite and thanked the ATC's multiple times... "But, but, but he's an arab, he has to be misogynic, otherwise my conception of the world is endangered... " haahahaaha you are super-pathetic
No I won't...I've set a timer and will be notified when the life-stream of the beheading starts... Next off is a blonde, blue-eyed, danish mother of three! So excited !!

If this was in the US , ATC will assign a visual approach and will ask to maintain visual separation from other traffic to the Qatari. lol
So what happened with the smoke in the cabin? Disappeared mysteriously, and the flight continued?

Could be any number of things, it's happened countless of times. You don't need flames to have smoke, can be a cable burning or whatever.
@@nihlify especially in this case as this wasn't even their destination airport...

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system
See the section about ILS categories (CAT 1, 2 and 3)
I suppose they would opt for the CAT3 approach in case of smoke in cockpit if the smoke is too dense. CAT3 is an autoland approach.
But in a CAT3 approach, the braking is also controlled, which may be problematic in an overweight landing such as this.
they opted for a cat 1 approach. This gives the pilot maximum control and the ability to land softly and modulate breaking with the correct flap/spoiler configuration for a potential passenger evacuation. Also, smoke in the flight deck suggests that there may be electrical system damage. It would be unwise to give the aircraft full automatic control when you can't say for sure if these systems have been damaged or not.

Good job by everyone but really baffled how a most basic (and potentially critical) RTF phraseology rule is not respected by Swiss ATC in this instance. E.g. it must never be "descend TO 5000ft", but "descend 5000ft". The "TO" uttered before the altitude clearance can easily be misunderstood for a "TWO", creating a totally unnecessary risk of misunderstanding with regard to the actually cleared altitude. In this particular case this risk of misunderstanding was admittedly neglibible, but considering how consistently the "TO" was used before the altitude value, I suspect it's a systematic issue. Really really odd, and not very professional, to be honest. Serious incidents and near misses have been the result of this...
I believe that i could hear a little annoyance from the crew member on the plane because he had to follow instructions from women.
