ASQ4698
The beginning of their troubles is heard on the Memphis approach feed. They talked about needing to divert to either Little Rock or Huntsville. They didn't want to go back through the line of storms they had already come through once to get to Little Rock but the headwinds would be very strong to get to Huntsville, increasing fuel burn.
ended up diverting to HSV after holding due to weather. They were running on empty on approach into Huntsville. It was so close that at one point they were considering going to Decatur which is small general aviation airport only 10 miles from HSV

Retired ATC gives these controllers an A+

Pucker factor 10 and calm. That is professional.

Man! This time of year, with squall lines and one storm system after another… Makes you age quickly. If I had been on the ground there when these guys stepped out of that airplane I would have said, “Fellas, the drinks are on me tonight. Let’s go.”

This was in November of 2015. Of course, storm systems are common during that time of year, too. Here in TN, November is a secondary peak for average tornadoes per month (the main peak of course being in the spring.)

They're saying "Acey" for the callsign, not "AC." "Acey" was the callsign of ExpressJet from 2011 to 2022. Given the route, this flight was presumably operating under the United Express brand at the time.

The captions are pretty bad, honestly, like the time the frequency was broken up "1-1-9-0 0.7" instead of 119.7. Also messed up Acey and (I believe) ExecJet callsigns.

Interesting example of a quasi-ASR approach, especially staying with Approach and not switching over to Tower, if they have no radar. But if it’s visual and he’s out of the clouds, why not just fly it in? Maybe visibility was low, with precipitation?

Lack of confidence?

They probably didn’t have the airport in sight at that time. Later once he reported it in sight they too the visual.

Out of clouds isn't in contact with the airport. Until you can see the airport or preceding traffic for the same runway, you can't fly a visual approach. Yes, if you can see somebody that can see the runway, you can follow them in until you can see it.

Unfortunately, as regional carrier flight decks continue to lose experience these types of events may become more common. Can truly happen at any carrier as the system strains to fill empty flight decks seats with new pilots lacking the airmanship and decision making that comes with thousands of hours of experience operating complex aircraft in congested, IFR conditions.

This was an expressjet flight. One of the best regionals to work for at the time with pilots who made a career with xjt. Sadly united decided they didn’t value their services and caused them to cease operations. A lot of really great friends and pilots there

Pilots get an F. This was not a squall, this was a cold front. Taking off knowing a front was between them and their destination was the 1st mistake and then flying into thunderstorms with low fuel was the 2nd. The 3rd was doing a 360 and trying again after experience wind shear, knowing they were low fuel, to boot? IMO, This wasn't skill, it was luck.

4th would be taking off without enough reserve fuel for a weather situation they knew they where flying into

Hmmm all a bit strange and maybe it gets a bit lost in translation but when asked for fuel remaining. He first says 1300lb then quickly corrects to 10 minutes. Now I’m no expert on the Embraer but I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t burn 3 1/2 tons an hour which those two figures equate to. D
