Thanks!👍

makes sense. Canberra is surrounded by mountains

thanks mate

Cheers mate

Thank you for the information. Cheers!

Was going to say the same re the "yeah . . .nah" lol.

@@David_P132 Yeah....nah we all do it!!!!

Yeah nah the Aussies got that from us in Nu zilind ay.

You could hear the incapacitation in his later calls as well, check 6:00 when he was talking about fumes, he has word finding trouble, which is a clear indication of mental impairment.

Most things people call "Aussie" are actually also British, this and "Cheers, mate!" included.

They were all great....the ATCs heroic in their own way...and so skilled...great pilot, kept his cool...

Yes, even advising on turbulence during the flare! Great stuff.

fr, i love that they offered as much help as they did when the pilot said he needed extra help on the approach cause hes on his own. i know thats how atc is meant to be especially in an emergency but it just seems like typical aussie mateship ya know?

Well, once a PAN-PAN is declared, you become the center of attention, once MAYDAY is declared, it's your universe and you're priority #1 and rightfully so. Just listened to another instance, where the copilot had a heart attack and was already given a shock, but remained in dire condition. Bad enough that approach was announced by the pilot to be high speed approach, normal speed landing. Both, serious code brown moments!

Huh? Canberra is a very busy domestic airport that also handles international flights.

@@walover165 they mean its a join military and civilian port. i.e. yes its a domestic and internation civilian airport but the RAAF is based there and most likely handles the airport operations.

@@Rocker-1234 Well, that's not what they wrote, and they'd be wrong anyway. Canberra is principally a busy domestic airport with a civilian tower.

@@walover165 I wouldn’t say it’s a busy airport, but you’re right in that it is mostly civilian aviation.

@@Rocker-1234 yeah…..no. Not at all true. The military area is separate from the domestic or international airports & make up the highest percentage of all air traffic in & out of Canberra.

Know what you mean. My (very minimal) understanding of PAN PAN is it alerts ATC to a potential/situation, while signalling that the flight crew need time to focus on problem solving. It does seem sometimes though that the ATC heads right on over to mayday mode:)

my thoughts exactly. i've seen other like this where the controllers themselves are panicked cause they're caught off guard or whatever but this guy kept his cool and didn't pester them every few seconds to answer stuff that ain't even really important till they get closer to their alternate.

Yeah the number of times the ATC is asking for fuel and souls WAY too early. Like I know that information is useful to you, but it can wait 2 minutes while they deal with the immediate emergency

@@audigexyea but there’s a reason for that. Planes crash and they crash in built up areas and airports. You do need to know the potential fireball you might be about to face on the runway and the number of medical services to call.

You couldn't land a plane regardless.. so what are you on about?

@@freak1sees714 Unnecessary!

@@hinterkress It really was, wasn't it? I mean, considering she's not even a pilot it was a nonsensical and rather feeble comparison.. i agree, very unnecessary indeed..

@freak1sees She actually is a pilot lol that’s my aunt

@@xvr_demi_trees2937 Shut up!!! 🤣🤣🤣 You're pulling my leg right?? Legit??

I am with you on this. I am a 73 year old lady who travels solo frequently. I appreciate the calm professionalism that I hear in these situations. I makes me feel confident and comfortable when I board a plane.

thank you joan storer, hope you're doing well

You haven't heard this Aussie if a mouse or snake gets in the house. Sheer shrieking at full volume lol My hubby who is a nurse is like the ATC and pilot. Calm as in a crisis.

A very large and strong one while they’re working!

I think that is a case of Aussie, she'll be right.

The stress and tension in the Captain's voice was quite evident on a few occasions. But even so, he also stays calm, professional, and precise.

yes, this video should be part of training courses

agreed

I think ATC is South African But first part in vid, i could be wrong been away for long time .

@@jamesleicher first ATC sounded Indian to me.

I think the first controller is originally Italian @@luc4662

Or the Vegemite on the toast!!!!

@@luc4662 Yep Indian.

That's why they get paid the big bucks.

Way too much talking from the Tower controller. All the stuff about taxiing after landing could have been said - after landing.

Maybe TOO MANY single pilot flyers skills from ATC not thinking of two pilots becoming single pilot operation?

He asked of the Pilot had the time to talk first.

do the pilots and the controllers ever meet after an incident? To thank them for the communications and help

I think the casualness was intentional. The Captain's voice reveals how much stress he's feeling, a number of times. So they went out of their way to make him feel like it was nothing out of the ordinary.. sort of a 'relax, mate.. we got this, and we've got your back. This is familiar ground, for us', kind of an attitude. And it worked. The tension in his voice fades away, as he comes to realise he doesn't need to worry any more.

@@Garryck-1 Just to add.. It’s helpful that commercial pilots and ATC (unrelated, but flight attendants as well) are all trained in stress management/reduction. For pilots, this also falls in line with the heavy CRM training they receive which doesn’t allow for much time to think about the severity beyond the safe operating/landing conditions. Of course though, if one link in that stress management chain fails, that could increase stress/emotions a bit further everywhere else. Captain Sully (of the US Airways Flight 1549 water ditching) spoke about the importance of this factor at length during several post-crash interviews. Unrelated Bonus Information: CRM alone is such an important factor that pilots will often be required to repeat failed training sessions until they can show mastery or a mostly high competency. Otherwise, they may be banned from becoming a part of any cockpit crew entirely (especially in countries that maintain a Pilot Record Database or PRD). With a PRD, pilots can no longer hide/lie/omit past training failures on their resumes as instructors are required by law to log test failures (along with airman/medical certs, legal actions, any accident/incident history summaries, and employment history). It’s important to note that this only became implemented in the US in late 2021 and only requires adding Notices of Disapproval published from 2010 and onward. It’s hopeful that all countries will implement such a system, thus allowing for worldwide air worthiness tracking capabilities. All of this to say that in a few decades, it’s likely any pilots who cannot effectively handle stress/perform good CRM (Atlas Air Flight 3591 for example) won’t be allowed to pilot commercial airplanes (passenger or cargo).

I watch these videos to restore my faith in humans. :)

Completely off topic -- I'm curious what your thoughts are about Richard Russell, aka The Sky King, baggage handler and plane "borrower" at SeaTac.

I'm seeing this one year later. You're welcome.

Doing your job does not make you a a hero.

Agreed, the visuals and captions are really appreciated

I was about to write the same thing... Only in emergencies will you get to appreciate high level pilot training. People who fly Garuda to save $200 astounds me.

I hope you are recovering well and back to feeling better quickly!

on some channels, I have seen the owner turn commenting off due to spam / misinformation

Was gonna say the same; really well handled

indeed Aug 2018. Evenso, a lot of folk did not hear about it, including me(might have forgotten?)

I use "pause" in such instances, so I control the amount of reading time.

We had a teacher like that. She inadvertently ensured we listened hard or ended up sitting on the front benches

Saves me watching it again.

It says 15 August 2018 in the beginning before the audio starts

@@robincharles7057 you’re right. My bad - missed it :)

Why don’t you write a post explaining it all? If it’s any good the video poster can pin it at the top. Show us all your skills... 👍

I don't think the first officer died, though...

There’s actually 2 pilots. 😂

@@sqwk2559 He's talking about the other pilot.

In this situation there was a PIC and a FO. The FO's incapacitation was due to Hypoxia and unless that is now instantly contagious the PIC just isn't going to 'catch that', ever.

@@joesinakandid528 it turned out to be the exact opposite of hypoxia!

:-/

Correct. However, if you are the only one able to act on a plane that is going to land, you either know this in the first place or you will never find out.

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. In that order.

Just after 04:17 ATC: “if you can just get back to me with the dangerous cargos and the POB, sir” Pilot: “2 POB & Wilco on the other”
