December 28, 2022. A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 departs from Chicago, IL bound for Phoenix, AZ. As the aircraft climbs, the crew attempts to retract the flaps, but they don’t respond. After attempting to troubleshoot the issue, the crew declares an emergency and elects to discontinue their flight and divert to Milwaukee, then Chicago O’Hare, then Milwaukee again. Watch and listen as the pilots and air traffic control coordinate to get the aircraft back on the ground safely.

"We're just gonna be a nuisance to you for a while."
"That's okay, we're a busy airport."
This banter was really cute.
At least the souls on board didn't change.
Love the lighthearted response when asked for updated fuel. "We still have the same number of souls on board"
I have always been impressed by the way the entire aviation community bends over backward to help an aircraft in distress. Well done to all the professionals involved!!
2 simultaneous aircraft issues, and this controller handled it like a boss! Props to you sir!
Again, amazing job on the visuals, showing every airplane with their callsign and aircraft type. Your narrations are spot on and help the novice viewer understand what's happening. Very well done.
Dec 28th? Jesus they must've been so happy their plane was one of the like 2% of southwest flights that got to take off,and then immediately they get grounded
Great commentary, explanation and visuals! Really great work, keep it up!
Almost two hours in the air, most of that while knowing that there's an issue. Must have been nerve-wracking for the passengers. I don't know much about planes and I appreciate your channel for showing how everyone works together to get people back on the ground safely (and why it might take a while). I might be a less anxious flyer after seeing these videos.
Also,those poor pax must've been getting dizzy with those circles, and likely rather upset given all of SW's issues over the past week or so.
Great video, clear, concise, and an amazing visual on the shear amount of air traffic present during the time period.
Great content, and well-explained with contextual information.
I love a chatty pilot 😊
Excellennt explaination
When you fill in sentences without hearing (clearly) what they said is there an alternative frequency one could listen in on or is it an assumption?
Assumption based on hearing the planes readback
There have been rare occasions where audio was discernible but the quality was so poor it didn't warrant inclusion in a video, but most of the time it's based on contextual clues (the other parties' reply, the flight data, what other pilots are saying, etc.).
They didn't continue their flight, not because it is not safe, but because they probably couldn't reach their destination. Airplanes fly about 30-33000 feet because that's when they are most fuel efficient. They fly there at about 400 knots for the same reason.
With the flaps the way they were they wouldn't be able to do either and wouldn't have enough fuel to reach their original destination.
pilot sounds almost happy to go to MKE instead of o'scare
Why ORD when MDW is the SW hub and MKE has more flights and if assume more maintenance crew?
What part of the plane was that cirus talking about that was gettting too hot (I know it's the cylinder but what is that and where is it)?
What does SW canceling flights during a snow blizzard have to do with flaps failure?
The annoyance for passengers that they could finally fly again, but that specific flight being obstructed by a flaps issue.
Just a little tidbit. In fact, not flying probably was a factor leading to the flaps failure.
Planes do not like to sit idle. But I'm not sure that this one was idle long enough for that to have been the issue.
Thoughts exactly.
Definitely not intending to imply any direct link, just providing some context. Also helps to imagine the kind of week the crew were probably having already.
Yo, ATV. You up?
What up, Justin?
It's astonishing to me that an entire Industry that relies on communication. Still has such bad sounding radio communication. We seriously can't get better clearer communication systems?
The quality of ATC transmissions are generally much higher for those involved. Unfortunately we don't have a direct feed to those!
Video creator needs to be quiet..the situation speaks for itself
