    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.

    You have to remember that airline pilots train for this exact scenario in the simulator every year. The pilot on the radio is maintaining his cheerful mood because they are comfortable and they know the drill. They've done this many, many times before. They know the QRH procedure to run. They know how to delagate responsibilities in the flight deck. It's just another day on the job. Just with a little more paperwork and a few more phone calls.

      Yes but still human are human, and when you’re in a simulator you know whats coming. I can guarantee NO pilot will be dealing with an engine fire in real life feeling same level of comfort and calmness as he would in a sim. Now that doesnt mean that he/she will perform worse than in the sim or would be panicking. But there will always be this adrenalin rush that you just dont get in the sim

    He should have landed sooner. Engine fire number 2 is a good reason to land over landing weight. To fly around as much as they did was unwise should the fire have done damage that was not yet detected. These planes are designed to land overweight as part of their certification. Only if it was a short runway is landing weight a problem. Also, they should have stopped on the runway to have fire crews check for any additional problems. This way, a 150 wide runway gives more room to the fire crew than a 75 foot wide taxiway.
    The polite radio transmissions are nice, but landing ASAP is better than flying all over the area with a potential secondary fire that may not be detected by the engine fire warning system.

    • @OfficialSamuelC
      @OfficialSamuelC Рік тому +9

      Pilots can choose not to communicate if needed. I feel ATC did a good job and didn’t keep bothering them unless necessary for the holding vectors.
      ATC would assume nothing has changed. Pilots usually will inform them if the engine fire is extinguished or the alarm now ceased. No harm done, the trucks will be preparing for an active engine fire otherwise which isn’t a bad thing.
      The pilots were clearly not overly concerned given the burning of fuel and extensive checklists, which is good if the situation allows. Some pilots may be told by cabin crew if the situation is worsening and will land the plane overweight and as soon as possible with most checklists done.
      The pilots were calm, as any should be, but they were not expressing significant concern or urgency, compared to some engine fires. Also seen in the additional polite messages and thank yous the pilots kept giving ATC that could be deemed unnecessary (I don’t think it is if the situation allows for it, which theirs clearly does in this engine fire scenario).

      @Xanthopteryx Рік тому +2

      There are multiple indications you can go on, and you have fire extinguishers in the engine that can deploy, and you can cut the fuel (no fuel, nothing to burn) and so on. They know more than anyone else since they have the information first hand. They want to be close in case something else happens byt other than that, if everything seems okay and the situation is under control, they do what is the safest, and that is also determined by the checklists.
      The checklists are like: Fire indicator, check this, to that, if then, this and that, then, if, ... The best practice in general is to use your training and the checklists. And not to rush.
      Swizz 111 as NOT an engine fire. It was a cockpit fire.

      @JaxAviator Рік тому +3

      @@Xanthopteryx I get that, I fly private jets for a living. The problem is, the copilot talked a lot on the radios but never clearly communicated if the fire indication was ever out. For all ATC knew was there was still a fire and they tried to get them on the ground ASAP. When I go into the sim, I run the checklist for ENGINE FIRE, then once that’s done we land even if it’s overweight. You want to get that plane on the ground ASAP in case the fire is not completely out or your aircraft has sustained damage that you can’t even see. The only major factor of landing overweight is usually hot brakes and even if they had that, ARFF was already standing by.

      Even after pulling the fire extinguisher you should get on the ground ASAP. You only have 2 tries with the extinguisher, if it comes back a third time you have nothing to put it out except for ARFF on the ground. There’s zero reason to keep flying unnecessarily after an engine fire.

    So he lost an engine due fire, and yet decided to continue flying aimlessly around the sky, simply to land under max allowable landing weight. It’s perfectly allowable and safe to land an a320 above max landing weight.
    That’s some poor decision making if ever I’d heard it.
    Some dismal R/T as is the norm nowadays in FAA land. Appears to have spent more time chatting rather than actually attending to the issue at hand.
    Flying a large commercial aircraft around the sky on a single engine having already experienced an engine fire while a suitable airport was a few miles away is bordering on criminal.
    Pilot’s RT is as far from standard phraseology as one can find.

  • @rewolff2
    @rewolff2 Рік тому +5

    Lessons to learn here:
    1) ATC needs to listen. He's had to say "number two engine fire" THREE times.
    2) Ask a sample of pilots what they prefer as ("checklist time") holding instructions. Too often ATC keeps interrupting the pilots in their checklist with a new heading. and "Is it ok, or do you want something different?". If in general pilots would prefer to "hold as published near the airport", then offer them that: "Hold as published at orang at 5000, let me know if you need anything else". Put this in the procedures for ATC.
    3) Manufacturers, airlines, pilots: Think about where you want to hold in such a "problem with engine" situation. The reason you're going to return and not fly anywhere is that you're down to one engine and if that fails, you'll have a forced landing. If you are within the cone of reachability of the airport, you can just glide in. I get the impression that these pilots were waiting outside (below) that cone. This happens all the time.
    4) If just giving vectors... you want to be able to come to the airport as quickly as possible. The pattern chosen here is not optimal. On the legs "on final", there is a super-quick way to land, but when flying in the other direction it is much longer. How about "double base". From final, at least a turn radius (or two) away from the intercept point, fly 020 in this case. Then at say 5 miles turn right and fly 200 through final. and again at say 5 miles turn right again to 020. Now on the 020 legs before final you can just turn left to 320 to intercept final. If that turn ends to late to intercept final continue the turn to 260. If ATC estimates the turn to 260 to intercept final too late, just give a right turn to 260 instead. Same stuff on the other leg. If my (2) comes up with "hold as published", then publish this in the charts, put it in the computers.
