Delta 95 (777) Declares Emergency in Atlanta - All Radio Comms
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Original video from Matt Cochran synced with all radio comms (ATL ramp, ground, tower, DEP & APP). On Sunday January 18, 2015 Delta Flight 95, a Boeing 777, experienced a problem at the beginning of its takeoff roll, exhibited by smoke plumes behind the plane. Immediately after takeoff, the pilots declared an emergency, dumped fuel and prepared to return to KATL. All video is in sync with real-time radio comms. Matt's original video is at • Delta 95, ATL-NRT: 777... Audio courtesy of LiveATC.net.
Professional pilots calmly and courteously performing flawlessly in a very stressful and scary situation. These are the guys you want in the cockpit in all of your flights.
Extremely professional all the way around..
Delta is the best!
They don't panic due to extensive training for loss of power etc.
@@carolynsears1710 It's not so much Airlines but the Pilot.
Delta don’t panic like United or American!
It is so much easier to be safe than sorry! I'm so glad time wasn't the "priority" but lives and safety where! It is totally awesome there are professionals paying close attention to things that appear not to be normal or right. Thank you Atlanta Hartsfield crews! You guys are awesome.....
kentf12345kentf12345kentf12345 you
Wasn't it the other pilot on the ground that called it out for thr ATC?
My daughter lives in Georgia. We always fly to hartsfield to see her. These guys are awesome!
"😅😊😊😊
The brakes are not to be played with on this machines at all! ua-cam.com/video/Mr4V680UQ-k/v-deo.html
This is what a pilot should do, as soon as you even think there is an issue you land! Great pilot! Love this pilot!
I'm really impressed at how well that plane was kept in the camera's view. Just as good as the footage of Shuttle launches.
So amazing video coverage
Until the plane landed safely. Praise the Lord.
@@felinamcpeters4058 stick with the pilots and atc...
“Delta 95 heavy, do you require any more assistance?”
“We need someone to come and look at the plane, bud.”
“Roger.”
lol !
I caught that
Common sense am I right
Yea. Get your ass out!! Here with fire crew an. Get our mechanics. Out here!!
Whoever recorded this needs some credit. It was well documented and had pretty nice footage of the situation. Just great job overall. 👏
Whenever they ask "how many souls on board" it sends a chill through me.
Standard procedure in Europe and in the east is “Confirm persons on board”...sometimes using the short term “Confirm POB”
@@palani717 Yes, I have heard it before.
@Tomasz Klisz The use of "souls" is to make sure that the pilot communicates every person on board including the crew. Sometimes, if they ask for number of persons, the pilot will include passengers and not crew.
It made me cry just thinking of the worst
They have to calculate in advance how many ambulances and coffins they may need.
Pilot: "We've declared an emergency and have to return to the runway."
FA: "What is it?"
Pilot: "Its a long strip of concrete but that's not important right now."
airplane the movie kind of quote
☠️ I’m dead 😂😂😂😂. Glorious Airplane reference hahahaha
Surely you must kidding?
@@milesaway3699 You can tell me, I'm a doctor.

You guys may say “we are only doing our jobs”, but what we hear are real voices of exceptional men and women serving in times of critical circumstances. My blood pressure gets high when I can’t find my coffee. You guys buffer any intensity with reassuring character. Thank you for protecting ourr loved ones all the way until the wheels touch ground. God bless you all
did you spill your coffee on the brakes? is that what happened?
@@rogerd4559 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are not exceptional at all. Airline pilots and atc are the same all over the world. It is a demanding job with demanding training which results in people who operate and behave a certain way.
Great connection of ATC to video. This takes time and effort. As a fellow enthusiast, I thank you for your fine work! WELL DONE!
Jeez. Get a room.
Fortunately, with a flight this long they likely had two crews. At Delta, the other crew occupies the jump-seats for takeoff and approach/landing. This really helps; handling an emergency return with a two man crew gets pretty busy. What usually happens is one backup pilot communicates with Delta: nature of emergency, intentions, gets a gate assignment if needed etc. The other backup pilot would brief the PAX about the status of the flight, intentions and whether an evacuation is expected and coordinate with the F/A's to ensure they're up to speed and ready for landing. This leaves the active crew more time to focus on flying the jet, running normal and abnormal checklists and working ATC. Thanks for the video Bob!

Excellent video. Your talking was caught onto the video as any excited person would be when seeing their favorite Boeing taking to the air. Good job in keeping the video going and being at the right place at the right time.
I am so glad there are professional paying close attention to things that appear not to be normal or right. Thank you Atlanta Hartfield crews! You guys are awesome.....
Note: It was a pilot on the taxi runway that initially notice the issue with triple 7 heavy on take off I believe!
Agreed
" I may be big, but I know I'm beautiful" had me ROFLing!!
Always a shout out to the crew....here's a shout out to the controllers!!!!! Great job guys.
Professionalism all around!! Well done by all.
Very nice video of the Delta 777 emergency. I believe the situation was handled extremely well by the Delta pilots and ground emergency vehicles. If any discrepancy is observed relative to the aircraft, an emergency landing is indicated. The flight crew did an outstanding job in handling the emergency!
The amount of flex in those wings is incredible. When it was coming back to land they were flexed way up
those atc guys (and the pilots) deserve every buck they make !!
god bless them all.
Are you confusing these guys with pro athletes?
They do not make the " Big Bucks". Aviation is a middle class occupation - barely these days.
It's also a very costly with pilots having to pay for much of their own training along the way.
My friends flying the heavies are making pretty decent money. I agree that the guys starting out are under paid.
I know nothing about airplanes really, but I love listening to them talk to each other!
“We need someone to check the plane buddy”. Quote of the day ! 😂😂😂. Great video, thanks for sharing.
From The Aviation Herald- “Following examination and repairs the aircraft was able to depart again after about two hours on the ground and reached Tokyo with a delay of 2 hours.”
the
in other words: No faults noted...
There had to be a fault, planes don't smoke on takeoff normally 😂
Maturity is keeping your head when all around you are losing theirs!

That maturity is unknown in the Libtard State of Californication...especially if you decide to dump fuel on snowflake Drama Queens
This is one HELL of a competent pilot. He absolutely made the right call
PILOT: "Yeah, we need someone to take a look at the plane, Bud!" Classic!
Absolutely the best bit of audio in this whole clip!!!

I think the pilot was appropriate. It should be commonsense (to me) that a pilot doesn't have adequate rear-view mirrors, and he can't very well see the landing gear, from the pilots seat. Personally. I wouldn't want to rely on Cameras if the wheels are starting to burn.

🥱😕 just doing their job.
Glad this was only a minor event.
Thanks for posting
Hats off to all the professionals, especially the pilots!
Well done by the observing pilot to call it in. Well done by the PIC to decide to return, even with the pressures to complete mission.
An airport firefighter very impressed with communications!
380 POB, WOW!
Well done to all! Matt, as usual, another great video!! 🛫✈️🛬
Effective concise communication is so important. That's what they teach in the military and in aviation (and other disciplines) as well. So many crashes and negative incidents have happened in this world because people didn't take the initiative to speak up, or couldn't communicate effectively.
@Case Point - Never said they were good. But given this was 4 years ago I don't remember.
Why is there so much anger on these comments? Matt didn't know there was going to be an emergency and was just talking the way we airplane nuts talk when we see something gorgeous like a 77 lift off. I want to offer a great big THANK YOU to Matt for these videos.
What would appen if a triple 7 landed with a full load of fuel- would it have a chance or would it crash
bradley small dumping fuel reduces landing weight making it easier to land as well as theoretically reducing fire risk.
YES I know that but can a plane land with a full load or even 1/2 a full load if it were a 747. Would there be no chance of a safe landing or would the wheel carriage crush even with a proper approach. Say it was impossible to dump the load for some reason.
Thanks, sounds like a pilot answer. Sensible. I always wondered if a plane like the 747 or even a 737 if it became inverted in flight provided it was say at 25000 feet could it be flipped over to a normal flying attitude. Would the forces needed to flip it over be to great or would it run out of altitude before it could be done. My dad worked at Lockheed on the L1011 and said no but he was only a pilot in an snj fighter in the war. Not on a passenger jet.
Yea man he is just happy leave the bloke be. Each to there own.
Now that was amazing. Great job on Matt in catching that and notifying the appropriate personnel.
Residents of College Park saying “Why do I smell Jet A?”

Residents of College Park don't know what Jet A is lmao
Saw a vid where an Airbus had to return to airport due to high oil temp. They dumped multiple tons of fuel right over the Swiss alps.

What !?!?!? Saved !?!?!?!? More like inconvenienced.
maybe saved them from a ditch in the ocean on the way?
I think airliners should have cameras around the plane so pilots can see what's going on and if there's a problem. They should have cameras facing the landing gear, engines, wings, tail, etc.
Call Boeing. I'm sure they haven't thought of that.
Slab Riprock Smartass and funny. lol.

I like my pilots like I like my lawyers and surgeons, confident boarder line arrogant.
Hahaha I read your comment before I heard it after they landed. I thought you were joking, then when I heard the pilot say that I laughed, then thought what the heck do you think he wants. Frik come take a look at this thing. Is it on fire, smoking, something broken. ATC should have just said first that emergency vehicles are behind you and we will keep you updated as to what they see.
I was laughing so hard when the pilot said what he said. LOL
that was hilarious!
@russian anokin: Fuel vapor in the atmosphere will remain there acting as a greenhouse gas like methane, but jet fuel is just kerosene which has mainly chains of CxH(2x+2) molecules around the C10H22 to C12H26 weight along with aromatics like benzine (C6H6 planar hexagon shaped rings). The fuel over the course of several months will react with O2 in the air catalyzed by UV light to break it down into CO2 and H2O: (1mol)C10H22 + (15 1/2mols)O2 --_UV_-> (10mols)CO2 + (11 mols)H2O. It basically the same as burning it. The UV may also break up the chains into shorter ones. As you can see there is no room for "chem trails", aluminum, or other such nonsense when you know the actual chemistry is.
Thanks.

echo positive comments in RE airmanship, professionalism
Rescue crews seemed awfully eager to bug out early; kudos to the aircrew/pilot for asserting request that someone remain in escort at least until maintenance took over.
Can't see gear...don't know if it's on fire or not !!!
People think pilots make to much money until things like this happens when they’re onboard
I have watched this video many times, love flying but really enjoy the First Officer, I presume, who is the chief radio contact. Would LOVE to see a photo of hin! Great work Delta, Class Act for sure!
And that folks is how it's done. This is why they make the big bucks, as they should. Well Done!
ofdrobb
Not how it used to be.
Everything is so high tech they're basically baby sitting the autopilot and do manual take offs and landings to avoid dying of boredom.
Almost every possible scenario has a check list, they diagnose the problem and follow the directions. Remaining calm and confident under high stress IS the key feature of a seasoned Captain. Yeah, they're boarder line arrogant for the same reason a heart surgeon is. They are the ultimate poker players, when the chips are down they are cooler than a cucumber.
Source- dad is a c-130 chief flight instructor. I've been in a few dangerous situations with him, not related to aviation, and something just clicks where the emotion leaves and logic and control of the situation trumps any fight ot flight response. They're very well trained to say the least, especially retired military...
I sincerely hope if I'm ever in an airplane emergency that's not how it's done. Nobody seemed to know anything. They kept asking the pilot what his emergency was when they are the very people who reported it to him! Once on the ground, they weren't even planning to send rescue trucks until the Pilot told them he would like to have them there.
Ok....
@@ProjectFleek lol yep that's how they are.
@@marksharrock1339spoke to at least three separate controllers, who may or may not have been given the nature of the emergency by the other controllers by phone. An aircraft in emergency is not something you guess at. If you are not sure, you ask until you are certain, that's the best way to help the crew, by understanding the situation and being available to the crew. The other thing t keep in mind is this, the controller is not seeing the aircraft, they have radar contact and radio contact, they don't have a nice video of the plane to watch. The controller asks the pilot for what he needs once on the ground to be certain of the pilot's intention as well as what resource he would need in response to the request. Keep in mind the pilot is also talking with Delta, and they may have come up with a plan that the controller is not aware of. The pilot said they were going to stop on the taxiway clearing the runway. He said nothing of his intention or desire, the controller asked so they can be certain. Again with a plane in emergency you do not guess, you ask. That way everyone is aware. Also notice on the video that R4 did not wait to be told to head to the aircraft, they self dispatched themselves from staging, also a standard practice for fire crews at an airport dealing with an aircraft that had smoke reported from it. This is exactly how everything should have been done. Clear communication in a calm voice, making sure the pilots have what they need to manage their emergency. This is exactly how it should go. PS: the original report of smoke from the wheels came from another aircraft, not the delta crew, and that crew was concerned for runway debris.
Alright, there is wing tip of Delta 95 Heavy. This should be good, should be a long roller and we have no bushel obstruction.
_Oh, the glory beginneth._
Nice little 777 double. OooOOooh!
What is he kicking up, what's going on there? Ohhh, I liked it, whatever it was.
Noice. Delta 95.
*Radical!* Backlit and all, baby! We love it regardless.
_I may be big, but I know I'm beautiful._
WOW!
@john maselli Backlit means the plane is lit with the light behind it. He thought it was beautiful despite not having the best lighting angle for photography.
Humm, you could def see the smoke trails as the plane was ascending upwards...I initially thought it might have been one of the engines! Great job by the pilots with landing with that much fuel still on board! Excellent video 🛫
The smoke trails is the plane dumping fuel
Thank you for posting this video of a 777 Take off!! Love your commentary! Is BIG and definitely Beautiful, Boeing's 777.
Pretty well thought out safety systems. They can tell the temps of the individual wheel brakes. Wish my car had that.
Yeah they can on Airbus and he can cool off any individual wheel with brake fans if equipped.. which most are (cough, Spirit). Not sure if you can put the fans on without weight on wheels though.. again safety in mind.
Even 2000 lbs overfuel can cause a hard landing. Imagine 210K over would cause a true and extremely HARD landing. A shoutout to the crew for keeping their cool.
Weight limit is mainly for brakes - brake energy limit. Exceed it and you can end up with anything from blown fuse plugs, tires, fires, or worst case unable to stop. Landings are no different and the heavier you are, the smoother they usually feel.
You can’t land 210k over... you would collapse landing gear on touchdown plus brakes would melt off
D Heyes NJ
Incorrect. The 777 can land at max takeoff weight. It'll weld the gear and melt the fuse plugs but it'll do it, as all Boeings. Certainly no collapsing of any kind. Landing at 300k kg (660k lbs) is more than doable without melting the fuse plugs, under a two-engine return such as this. Nice job by the crew for a good return.
oh really now never knew you were an expert pilot, google could help your theory just a bit there my guy
I was out for a walk near my home the morning this happened. He came directly over us, dumping fuel at 5000 feet. You could smell it. Glad to see this video and learn a little more of what happened nearly six years ago.
You hear that they gave a bunch of kids a fuel bath?
@@user-mp9rd4hg8b That was Delta also, but a different incident in over L.A.
Amazing coolness by ATC and the pilots.
I loved that he said we have 308 "souls" on board.
Great pilot to turn around for the safety for all those people. Sure they are greatful.
Repair: What do you want us to check?
Pilot: Oh hell I don't know we have 308 souls onboard and we have smoke coming out, so I don't know check the ice maker.
Having been aircrew with over 5,000 flying hours and a few emergencies of my own WELL DONE KATL and crew of Delta 95. Great call by the PIC to stay way from the gate with hot brakes and 210,000 LBS of fuel until brakes cooled!
+Robb Hodges wouldn't the brakes have already cooled in the wheel well at altitude? I really don't understand the emergency.
+s18thomas If you listen to the audio, the crew DID show high brake temps. Followed the emergency procedures. They never reached "altitude" tho they flew around at 7,000 for a bit dumping fuel but don't believe they were high enough to "cool" the breaks or tires. Could have eventually lead to gear lock-up and a BAD landing.
+Robb Hodges Thank you for the prompt reply. Much appreciated. Sorry for taking further time, but isn't there a brake hot qrh procedure where the pilot delays retraction of brakes or redeploys the landing gear mid flight to allow cooling by convection?
I can't seem to download the qrh manual for the b777, but here are two references.
aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/7916/do-some-aircraft-lower-the-landing-gear-mid-flight
www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/167602/
Also, if I may :
Why is it a great call by the pilot to stay away from the gate with hot brakes and fuel? If fire was a possibility, then shoudn't an evacuation of the passengers have been ordered? and the brakes can take more than an hour to cool, right?
I do apologize for the armchair theorising....the pilot did a great job of ensuring passenger safety, of course.
+s18thomas Not familiar with the B777 technical order and SPECIFIC emergency procedures for hot brakes. Also have to be aware it might be a Hyd leak problem as well. Might wanna look up the report
thanks will do!!!
Any landing one can walk away from is a good landing.
That folks is an Outstanding Landing !!!
It's an even better landing if they can use the plane again.
Bob just for you. My love
Pretty cool video and audio sync and compilation!
Good judgment commonsence congratulations landing safe and keeping public safe too. Wish you much sucess in futures.
Amazing professionalism. A fantastic job all around. WOW!
compliments on the the posting ! great video, audio and info.. nicely made...
Once the Delta pilot on the ground said he saw smoke that was the end of the flight, even if the pilot in the air had no bad indications the doubt was sown and they couldn't risk going all the way to Tokyo with a problem developing. When ATC keeps asking for the nature of the emergency, I don't think the pilot had a technical reason, they'd just lost confidence in the aircraft.
Smoke billowing from the undercarriage, 15 + hrs to go in the flight, They had every right to lose confidence in the aircraft. Dump fuel to compensate for the 20 ton ballsacks that the crew had, turn around and head back home!
If they landed in Tokyo they could pick a nice smooth rice Patty
arenalife Well said. If you don’t know, don’t go. Better safe than sorry.
Better safe than sorry... there are no redos.
Too many lives at risk to chance it.
Cool that you got the fuel dump on film too!

Great camera work!!
"I need additional information on that aircraft"
"YOU GOT A TRIPLE SEVEN COMING WITH TWO HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND POUNDS OF FUEL AND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVEN SOULS ON BOARD COMIN YOUR WAY BOY YOU BETTER BE FUCKIN READY" is how he probably wanted to say it.
You sound like John Wayne
At 19:30, you can see the separation on the left outboard wheel. (Good job video guy!) Not a major deal, but smart to come on back. The last thing you need to be worrying about on a trans-pac is how your wheels are holding up. Two hour delay for safety's sake - totally worth it. The cost in fuel dump, well, what are you gonna' do. If there had been a real problem, litigation would have cost more. This is the better way to mitigate risk. What's odd is the smoke on takeoff came from the right gear, not the left.
Best course of action! Awesome pilots, who care about themselves and the hundreds of lives onboard! Bravo!

Thanks Matthew
Wow! First time I've seen a commercial aircraft do a fuel dump!
Great stuff!
Whats the timestamp when they dumped their fuel
@@DuvalBreaks the first half of the video. Looks like contrails
I certainly like the way Delta handled themselves...super cool...professional...as a retired B747 Capt & G550 Capt. its good to see my brothers in action. Can't say so much for the controllers, sorry, but they were more concerned with their paperwork.... The guy asks him the "nature of the emergency"...where the hell has HE BEEN?? Had it been me, with the luxury of arm chair quarterbacking....would probably have dropped the gear and done a "fly-by"....why? To make sure the gear would come down and if there was any fire/smoke. The "do you need any additional help?? Geezus...like they don't know they HAVE TO CHECK THE TIRE....hell....what do you think they are going to do? Taxi back to the gate so they can BLOW UP and take out the terminal??? I am curious if they landed overweight?? If this was going to Tokyo, we would need to burn a hell of a lot of fuel in the 747. Final thought: the comment from the Tower "I see smoke, not sure if its engine" was the kiss of death ... now, the Capt had NO OPTION (in my opinion)...in the future, the tower should be more professional in many areas. He should have said...."there is no observable smoke coming from the wheel that I can see"...his response sounded like a lady with a beehive hair-do having tea in the lounge poking her head out and responding to the crew....Geezus. help them!!! "yes, theres smoke....thats what happens when jet engines turn jet fuel into noise...ha ha. Not sure how long they would wait for the brakes to cool and if they had an overweight inspection..I do KNOW they had some paperwork...great work Delta.
Great video work ! Fantastic coverage !
Kudos to DELTA AIRLINES for eating the fuels dump cost. It is nice to see an airline have absolute safety first policy!! 👍
idiot
They're kind of required to do that by the laws of physics. A fully fueled plane is extremely heavy and usually would have used up most of that fuel by the time it reaches its destination. If it has to land again over a certain weight, it can damage the plane and result in a crash and a big fire.
Delta 95 heavy has a very nice voice!
maybe you can request your navigation device maker to put it on your GPS receiver?
I love hearing his voice and would so love to see a photo. Think it might be possible for someone to post one?
So, in the end we have no idea what the nature of the emergency was except the vague narrative of the radio communications regarding smoke in the left gear - I had hoped for some resolution to the problem but we are left UP in the air ;-)
All the passengers whistling 'Dixie' out of tune certainly creates an emergency.
The captain can't tell the status of the brakes and landing gear. He loaded with fuel and has a full load of passengers. The idiot in the tower keeps asking if that's it. The captain wants trained eyes to tell him there is no problem. He is professional and calm with the situation. He is not taking any chances. Not going to release the fire dept till his maintenance people look it over. Good pilot did the right thing
There is NO idiot in the tower. The communication with Ground control is normal. I know that it is not the flavor of the month but this is one of the busiest airports in the world. By now there is lots of traffic stacking up or diverting to other destinations, in all sectors. Safety always comes first but you also provide a practical service to the flying public
I think your name is spelled wrong, Slick. it's ASS1313. And the crew CAN tell a lot about the brakes and the gear, "dumas"
I've flown in and out of airports on 4 continents. Atlanta is always a class act.
Tower we are on fire.
Roger that. Do you need any more assistance?
You always here about the ones where things are ignored and go catastrophic. Glad we had everyone involved on this one.
First I'm glad to see nobody was hurt...... but talk about being in the right place at right time to be able to capture video and live atc ......what a cool video .....I fuel Jets at greater Pittsburgh international airport for the last thirty years....saw alot of crazy stuff but haven't been able to video to much..... great video.
Perfect example of how regs can be broken at any point in the situation of an emergency. He needed 260 knots, so that’s exactly what he was going to do to ensure the safety of flight even if regulations require 250 knots and below. Additionally, he only communicated when he needed to, otherwise “standby.” Great job by that pilot
Well done Matt. Reading some the childish comments ie: TomCook1993 + AlanScott clearly these basement dwellers have never been either in a car, truck, train or plane in an emergency. When they gain more life experience they'll understand the stresses that are involved and regret their ridiculous comments regarding the actions of this pilot, ATC and ground control.
+Mj Gruskin
For some people, even a drop of oil in the environment is far more important than 100's of $millions in carefully crafted machinery, and hundreds of human lives.
+Mj Gruskin I have been in a few emergencies after 8 years in the military.... My suspicion is that YOU are the basement dweller mate...
What squadrons were you in?
Interesting that the controllers (or another a/c?) mistook the fuel dump for continuing smoke from the 77. Certainly easier for anyone with binos/camera lens to tell otherwise, but a teaching point for all since it's an expected procedure.
Also: the pilot's response when hearing that the emergency trucks have a FLIR was freaking classic.
Even with this happy ending, this causes me stress. My son is a Delta pilot based in Atlanta. I cannot watch a video that has a crash of any kind, except...the one (on here somewhere) when a young girl lost a landing gear on her first solo flight. I cried like a baby. (She landed safely.)
That was in Boston area. Was a great team effort.
The pilot stayed nice and calm. Good job.
Commentary is awesome. Nice to see some fellow aviation nuts as myself. Great video.
Commentary is stupid and childish. Talking in high pitched voices saying a joke that wasn't funny the first 100 times I heard it. I'm guessing the video editor cut out the rest of it.
SMaze17 likewise. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Don't know what pilot relayed to his passengers but I usually can feel if the plane is turning around and only much later does the pilot confirm that there is a problem. I was flying a local 2 hour flight with my adult daughter who despite flying often hates it and that is even having done long hall flights internationally. She knows I am an aviation enthusiast but am usually respectful of her fear but accidently mentioned the plane has turned back. I regretted saying it immediately because she turned snow white and asked me questions I couldn't answer to reassure her. She argued that I am holding back information because "I know so much". I told her I apologise for saying we are turning back even though it's the truth. It is also the truth that I don't know why but reassured her that dispite turning back there was no drastic descent or increase in height. About 30minutes later the pilot confirmed we had turned back but were landing at another airport and not our point of departure. He clearly stated it was because of a dreadful hail storm and flash flood at our destination. He also said he regards the safety of the passengers and the plane as his responsibility. I could hear my daughter's breathing change and see her clenched hands relax.
Dave B you're a sad man.
As a pilot I was confused by the ATC and pilots calling it Taxiway 'Dixie'. I would have assumed 'Delta' as is the norm but before looking it up I figured it had something to do with not causing confusion when calling out Delta airlines since Atlanta is Delta's primary hub. I was right but looks like they've reverted to Delta as of summer 2020.
The guy talking actually makes plane spotting interesting.
My mother thought I was watching Jerry Springer when the woman yelled I may be big but I am beautiful! Lmao
no that was a guy
That was fuel being dumped in the air, not smoke.
Were you there?
Dave Custer You don’t have to be there, the pilots told you in their own voice they were beginning their fuel dump.
DizzyGachaTuber actually that was a fuel dump. Captain said so.
“How many souls on board?” Always hits the gut.
Better to take a Preventive action then correction work order. Better to take safety precautions then handling at the air and too late to turn back.
Good Job guys..stay safe and handle with caring and safety to exceed better performance.
That impressed me most. They put safety before dollars thouugh I'm sure they are pushed. Anything else is penny wise and pound foolish.
Remember the devastaring crash at Tenerife? One pilot put more value in maintaining his unblemished record than waiting for clear permission to take off even when reminded by his first officer it had not been granted yet. There was heavy fog. He couldn't see the runway. There was another plane on the runway. Before he got lift off speed he saw the other plane and couldn't get high enough to fly over it. He took the top off the other plane and his, newly filled fuel tanks exploded. No survivors from the plane on top, some survivors from the lower plane. I think there were 500 or so fatalities. There were other contrbuting factors: fog, bomb threat at the original airport so forced to land big planes at a smaller airport. and poor radio equipment. Many changes were made from lessons learned.
