Lots of commenters are mentioning the quality of the radio transmissions in this video. For crews and air traffic controllers, VHF comms are generally quite clear and intelligible - far better than some of what you hear in this video. So why is the audio here so difficult to understand? It's to do with the location of the antenna that captured the audio. The Ryanair flight was airborne so likely had a clear "line of sight" to the antenna, resulting in a clear signal. The Aer Lingus A330 was on the ground and there were likely obstructions between the aircraft and the antenna, resulting in a static-filled signal. Unfortunately there's not much that can be done to improve the audio quality when it's this bad, but I do still try!
I suspect that everyone concerned could hear each other fine, and it's just that the receiver used to make the recording was in a less than optimal location to pick up a good signal.
Much of it is close to real-time, but with a few speed-ups to shorten gaps where nothing much was happening. Check the UTC clock in the upper-right if you're curious!
One of my brothers works in Rescue at Dublin Airport - they practice/train for EVERY imaginable (and some non-imaginable) event(s) - when the alarm goes off, so do they......
There's interesting background audio between radio calls, sounds like a open room/office environment. It's very quiet, I only picked it up with headphones.
Sometimes you can pick up other air traffic controllers speaking in the background of radio calls, but I also add some airport tarmac ambience to the audio mix for (what I think is) a nice effect.
I think the [unintelligable] from rescue15 was "there really isn't any (visable?) smoke". So EIN123 probably thought there was a birdstrike or other problem where the engine might have been on fire or damaged as a result, hence wanting fire to take a look. 4:23 buzzing the tower (okay not really).
But if you think your engine is damaged or under fire, wouldn't you just shut it down and call tow vehicle? Using damaged engine "just to relief the runway" can cause extra damage meaning extra repair costs.
...if you knew Aer Lingus, like I knew Aer Lingus....nothing would surprise me...not quite a "love - hate" with the Irish abroad...more on the lines of a "love"- total EXASPERATION, relationship... over all quite proud of them...
gotta feel sorry for Ryanair 6678. Of course they had to make a decision whether to divert, they made the decision and then had a flying time to Belfast that was longer than it took to clear the incident at Dublin. Just another day in the office I guess.
They only sound like this to the guy making the recording with a small remote receiver. In the air and on the ground inside the actual aircraft the communications are very clear.
@@RyanRoberts15 : Yeah it's only as good as the equipment recording it which oft times is just some handheld little receiver being used by some plane spotter.
Shamrock couldn't decide whether they wanted to taxi off the runway before inspection or not. Make up your mind, man! They had already shut the engine down too it turns out.
is it just me or are european ATCs in general much more concise and professional sounding than their US counterparts? It's like listening to military communication, in a good way
They can take their time communicating with pilots because it's not an overly busy airport compared to the amount of movements in a major US city. Basically ACT in Ireland have time to talk.
They get fined for late arrivals in the USA. Guess which airline won the prize for the most late arrivals some years back.... Hint, it wasn't American...😂

The Aer Lingus A330 was on the ground and there were likely obstructions between the aircraft and the antenna, resulting in a static-filled signal.
When Ryanair 6678 diverted to Belfast, which airport did it use? Also, did the same plane fly the passengers to DUB later on, or were they sent down by coach? One of 6678's pilots sounds like Saoirse Ronan.
RYR6678 diverted to Belfast International Airport (BFS / EGAA). The aircraft landed in BFS at 12:18Z, and departed for DUB at 13:09Z, arriving at 13:31Z, about 1:40 after the original approach to DUB was discontinued. You can find the flight data for the day here: globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=4ca24f&showTrace=2021-09-05
I think the tower controller was a little incompetent for a emergency “Shamrock 123 stopping” “Say again” Then “Shamrock 123 issue with engine we can taxi off runway” “Say again”
Incompetent? VHF comms can be spotty and muffled even over short distances. I hear it every day where people have to repeat things due to readability issues.
I think it is because one is so used to take off's actually happening. Stopping on the run way is an unusual occurrence that I could understand the tower doing a double take

Fascinating. Such professionalism, thanks for posting
I can't get enough of listening to these absolute professionals. Air Traffic Controllers should be paid the same as or more than Pilots in my opinion.
And the rescue crews also.
They often are paid more, at least compared to junior and middle level pilots
@@heinzketchup3323 I think I have found a new job
Nice video. Incredible anything gets done with the quality of the radio comms.
I suspect that everyone concerned could hear each other fine, and it's just that the receiver used to make the recording was in a less than optimal location to pick up a good signal.
"a bird departing Dublin" ... is very lyrical
It definitely departed.
I think they call them colleens over there 😂
tower controller has such a pleasant voice
And now we have a new parallel runway to solve the problems of all the go rounds and cancelled take-offs !!
Man if this is real time there must have been a fireball or something to get the trucks out there almost before the aircraft asked for them.

Love how everybody is called Shamrock, just with a different number ☘️
Well it's the home base of Aer Lingus so they have a lot of aircraft movements throughout the day.
Earlier today I saw another video with a Wizzair 123 rejected takeoff, now it's Shamrock 123 lol

@@AirTrafficVisualised Ok, that clears it up. Thanks.
Bird ingestion can happen to anybody at any time. Let's be careful out there. Cheers!
I'm going to be ingesting a lot of bird in a few months. 🦃🦤🪶🐓🍽

Ive flown on EI123 many times, such an excellent airline
It's an abysmal airline. It's not called Aer Fungus for nothing.
Could you imagine having ornithophobia AND Aerophobia? Lot of Buses trains and boats I imagine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃 .... don't go there, Gunther....😂😂😂😬
dang i wish there was a better audio for this.
You cannot tell me that an Aer Lingus had issues with ingesting a bird.

I love aer lingus! such a happy experience.. even if budget!
What’s with the crappy communications
It's incredible that for such an important industry the communications are ridiculous.
They only sound like this to the guy making the recording with a small remote receiver. In the air and on the ground inside the actual aircraft the communications are very clear.

They talk slower and to me better pronunciation.

I'm Irish and I love chicken so, I get it.
Why there is so much noise?
Ground has a distinctive South African Accent :)
Without a doubt!
Awe my china you are reg lekker lekker gatsby
*@Stephen Marchant* No. It's a refined Irish accent.
Complete 100% Irish accent 🇮🇪
Agree, the Ground controller sounds like a South African, the Tower controller sounds Irish.
Do we know why the bird was departing Dublin?
It really was a squirrel who drank too much and said I believe I can fly whoops
The Ykraines took over their nests! (as they did mine, so don't anybody dare use an "r" word!!!)
what is all that static in background?
You answered your own question
American Airlines flight getting impatient at the end. They should have been sent to the back of the queue!
They get fined for late arrivals in the USA. Guess which airline won the prize for the most late arrivals some years back.... Hint, it wasn't American...😂
Can someone say why the Ryanair Radio trafic is clear and easy to understand and the Air lingus traffic sounds awful?
It's to do with the location of the antenna that captured the audio. The Ryanair flight was airborne so likely had a clear "line of sight" to the antenna, resulting in a clear signal. The Aer Lingus A330 was on the ground and there were likely obstructions between the aircraft and the antenna, resulting in a static-filled signal.
The guy in the Rescue truck needs to speak more clearly.
What type of potatoes do they use in Ireland for radios?
Todd - the potato-oirish jokes are lame as that duck that flew into the right engine. Some new ones please.......
ToddHrndry Murphy of course
@@ronnieince4568 no such thing
@@ajorngjdonaydbr there was a radio and television manufacturer called Murphy -and potatoes in Ireland were often called Murphys.
@@ronnieince4568 i like to belive it was roosters potatos to keep it bird themed
A few pints of Guinness will clear that engine good, and make it happy :)
Whys the audio so bloody awful
hearing the coms, it's a wonder they got the aircraft off the runway.
I'm surprised the audio is so bad and that the people who need to can understand the radio traffic as well as they can.
This recording is made by other receivers than the towers.
Nothing to see here, move along..
i am amazed at how bad the radio audio quality is, you would think they could have it cleaner with current tech
great video! can i ask where do u get the visualization from?
I created it using custom software I wrote.
Cant make out shit

Why is there always so much damn noise on the radio? Can't they get it any clearer?
Wait there’s an airline called aer lingus…bwahahahaha
It's the Irish for air fleet.
Some birds are really stupid
A horrible death for an innocent creature.
African or European?
I think the tower controller was a little incompetent for a emergency
“Shamrock 123 stopping”
“Say again”
Then
“Shamrock 123 issue with engine we can taxi off runway”

Maybe if they said rejecting takeoff rather than stopping?!
I think it is because one is so used to take off's actually happening. Stopping on the run way is an unusual occurrence that I could understand the tower doing a double take
Rejects or aborts?
À
Is that recorded with a potato ?
