THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
04-APR-2023. An American Airlines Airbus A321 (A321), registration N143AN, performing flight AAL2611 / AA2611 from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, IL (USA) to Los Angeles International Airport, CA (USA) shortly after takeoff reported bird strike, declared an emergency, reported heavy vibration coming from undercarriage and some other issue. The crew requested a low approach to do a visual inspection from the ground. After the low approach the pilots reported generator failure and green hydraulic system failure. The Tower informed that they had found 3 ducks on the runway. Subsequently the crew decided to return to O’Hare. After landing the airplane stopped on the runway and remained there for about 42 minutes.

THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

HOW I DO VIDEOS:

2) I find communications of ATC unit for the period of time I need.
3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.

The only thing they could have done better was to say they needed time to "get their ducks in a row" instead of "do some troubleshooting. Then this clip would bave been legendary. But seriously, no matter how many times I hear incidents like these, I never cease to be impressed with how professional everyone is and how well they handle it. Even when they lost one of the hydraulic systems the pilot on the radio didn't give a single hint of being worried or panicked. I know personally, I'd have been freaking out wondering if I should have just tried the landing or if anything else was going to fail before we got back around to the airport. But that guy? He sounded the exact same as he had the whole time.

@staceygrahame2504 Жыл бұрын

That was so smoothly coordinated. ATC had already conferred with the next one along, before the plane even reached their frequency. Hard to believed they managed to do all that - including the fly over - in such a short space of time. Again, no messing, ATC just kept them tight to the airport. You could tell that those poor pilots were starting to see more and more issues the longer it went on, the stress in their voices began to increase especially after the fly over. They knew there were checklists and did what they could but you can tell they’d also reached a point where they just wanted the thing on the ground before anything else failed on them. It’s one thing to have an incident like bird strike and know what’s causing your issues, but it’s another to see multiple vital instruments start failing one by one in front of you. I can imagine the unpredictability of that scenario being a pretty terrifying one to any pilot. You can be the best pilot in the world, but you still need your plane to work with you in order to get it down. Hope someone bought them a few beers later on.

One day sitting at the gate in SLC and my 757 flight that would take me to CVBG pulls in. The 757 had departed JFK and ran into a flock of seagulls, apparently the plane seemed normal after the gull encounter so they continued on to SLC. I stood in the gate area and had a great view of the 757 as it pulled in and after shut down the left engine had several bent back twisted fan blades and the darn thing ran normally for 4 hours, what a plane. BTW the mechanics had the hub of the fan section and replace 4 3-blade sets of fans. Two damaged sets and to opposite sets to balance, quick run up and minimal delay to CVG. Gotta love tough Boeing aircraft.

@ronanstis6328 Жыл бұрын

Future pilots and ATC should learn to use correct phraseology. Callsign, (American two six one one) message (We have had a bird strike on departure). Callsign (in whole or in part), does not come after some long winded readback if the pilot happens to remember to do so. If a pilot has just reported a birdstrike, why did the tower controller ask him to change frequency instead of asking if he required some assistance?? The departures controller should say "advise intentions" not "and say intentions" - this is not a standard phrase. The pilot's response is fulsome, but at no stage does he actually state his intentions and he leaves his callsign until last, when it should be the first part of the transmission. These criticisms can be applied to the rest of the video - it works for U.S. pilots and U.S. controllers, but it is neither standard nor professional. Have a listen to Sydney Approach or Sydney Director A/G, and you'll hear the difference.

On the next flight more ducks took out the same engine that was replaced (#3). After that the aircraft was known as 'Duck Hunter".

@@lyaneris As an utter civilian, the different needs of different people were what I guessed was the reason for the fuel asks being in different measures. What I still do not understand is why the local difference in the default measure? At one airport ARF has more clout so got the Emergency procedure to ask for weight and make the controllers do the back of envelope math for time? And speaking of time, is fuel as time remaining a snapshot at that moment at the current flight parameters? It is not an X pounds of fuel divided by normal cruise settings theoretical number? I liked messing with the onboard chip and its algorithms in my first car that told me range remaining; pop it in neutral at speed and watch the number climb to ridiculous values. Wondering if jets have a better tuned version of this technology.

@kielmcgowan8584 Жыл бұрын

@seanlarabee6300 I think asking fuel remaining and souls is a waste all around. For fuel, except in a fuel emergency, where time remaining is critical in the planning. Otherwise, is ARFF really sending less trucks if they know the plane has 1 hour left vs 4 hours? If it crashes pretty sure they are all coming regardless of fuel told on board. For souls on board, is anyone counting to 172 as they slide off the plane? I would venture no, they make the count once they corral them all, and at that point they can get a manifest from the pilot (assuming all survive), or from the airline itself. Maybe on a GA or cargo flight, knowing if youre looking for 2 or 3 is good to know, but if its a 100 or so dont think youre searching to get to a number. If you have the time and ability to do a search itll be a check of the seats and then done, not because you only counted 170 of 172 sliding down the emergency exits. Someone tell me I'm wrong, be glad to learn why it's so important.

All things considered changing a frequency isn’t much more difficult than changing headings or altitudes. It also allows the controllers that are actually controlling those sectors for other aircraft to be in contact with the emergency aircraft rather than trying to coordinate through another person. If the pilots felt overworked they always can make a request, but the person doing the checklists isn’t the one you’re hearing on the radios so they are mostly focused on flying and talking while the other does the checklist.

@ronanstis6328 6 ай бұрын

If, as a controller, you have an emergency, you do not tell the pilot to change frequency. The correct sequence for radio transmissions is always callsign first. It should not be up to ATC to suggest to the pilot that an emergency be declared, and there were too many unnecessary transmissions made to finally establish this fact. There are standard phrases to declare an emergency - no-one used them at any stage. A PAN call with itentions would have been appropriate, particularly with respect to the fly-past request, as this involves preparation on the part of the Tower. "maintain altitude 3000, American twenty-six eleven" should have been "American two-six-one-one, three thousand" - no more, no less, and in that order. ATC radio procedures were better than those of the flight crew, but the overall standard was not good. Otherwise a difficult situation well handled with a good outcome.
