First of all *thanks to Matt* for sharing his video with us!! Good catch, dude! // Link in the description! *KUDOS to* all the Atlanta controllers, pilots and ARFF crews for their job. Splendid example of professionals in the busiest airport! Glad it all ended up safe! :)
Agree, i have a french friend, and if i didn't know he is not working as a pilot i would totally mistake him with the pilot talking over the radio. The same accent, the same way of speaking, even the same tone of voice. :D
Very well trained landing emergency, they nailed it they kept the thrust reverser open all the way. Those brakes i'll bet were pretty hot. With 33 tons of fuel on board.
Amtrak Traveler911 60,000 pounds is extremely light for a 777s fuel load. Maximum capacity is 303,100 pounds, not including any auxiliary tanks there might be.
Lmao that's exactly how I pictured her, especially when she says " Ops _Fiiive_ " with big shades on and a slight smirk as she hits the gas and enters the runway.
all I could think of was a flight attendant gut punching the Pax, and then when they flopped into their seat, buckling them up, and then leaving with a smile "have a nice flight." :)
This goes to show that aviation is indeed an ultra-safe industry. Incidents are dealt with so much speed and professionalism, it is amazing! 👌 I just watched Matt's video and I agree with him when he wrote in the description that these professionals handled the situation so well, they "made it look like a walk in the park" 👌😊😎.
I think I can hear the qu’on tourne. It sounds like he started in English and finished statement in French. I however listened 3 times and do not hear the ‘Tu veux’ or are you indicating that as a joke that the tower could have stated it back in French including the ‘you want’ ?

Excellent job done by the pilots the controllers especially the Personnel of Atlanta Fire Rescue Battalion 7 which is the aircraft rescue firefighting detachment at Hartsfield everyone involved was at the top of their game when I worked there years ago, Battalion 7 was always a pleasure to work with. Hartsfield has always had a reputation for having some of the best controllers in the country they make it a little short with you on the radio, but you have to understand the kind of traffic they have to deal with. And if you don't believe me look it up on Wikipedia and look at the stats for the number of takeoffs and Landings they have on a hourly basis .

All modern airliners are designed so they can flight with one engine out (for the dual engine planes at least.) It's one of the tests before an aircraft can be certified. There's also procedures for pilots to follow right from takeoff in case of an engine not working. One of the last takeoff decision points is V2, where the plane must have enough speed to fly on one engine in case of an issue or turn around and land. (ruclips.net/video/7p8Pqna4t7c/видео.html)
Watched the whole thing happen as we were waiting for takeoff on runway 9R. Turned ATC on to see how close we were to takeoff and first thing i heard was the Mayday. There was also a coyote on the runway at the same time. Props to the crew and ATC for handling everything so well and getting everyone back safely!
Jaymi Benson • A-ha! The little things they don’t tell you, but leave to your imagination. Not only looking for engine parts, but coyote parts that might be strewed all over the runway! Amirite?🤪
This must have happened right after I left work at the airport. Very chaotic day yesterday. plus the severe thunderstorm warning delays didn't help either too, glad everyone is okay !
Yes it can happen, if ATC did not correct either it's that there was no risk in doing so, as the crew is obviously under a higher workload in these kind of situations.
No, I think the readback was correct, just with a French accent. I believe the transcription is inaccurate in the video. Another example being at 4:51, the a/c is cleared to land, but the transcription says "cleared for takeoff".
All part of a RIDICULOUS weather weekend in Atlanta while we were all down at Airliners International 2019. The day before featured an MD-88 fight a +/- 40 at 500 feet on the 26 side.
And that's the correct way to state that one has an emergency. None of this "We are declaring an emergency" nonsense which sometimes creates confusion about whether there is actually an emergency. And clearly the controllers underestand this ICAO standard terminology.
I don't know how I got here, but it's very interesting to see how everything seems to work like a charm in these situations and how the people involved function like a machine.
That was impressive! Does anyone know how long an air traffic controllers shift is at an airport such as ATL? It must be exhausting to be so hyper alert every second of ones shift.
@brokosa yf the controller was talking at the speed US controllers typically speak at. They need to learn to talk a bit slower and more clearly as their diction is often quite bad. At minimum, they should adopt the ICAO standards for comms.
@All_Roads No one had any trouble? You're not used to listening to non-native speakers then. Listening to the AF pilots they were having to parse what ATC was saying. I can hear their hesitation and, as an ESL teacher, I am willing to judge what is causing it: ATC is talking to quickly for them to translate on the fly. They are having to repeat it to themselves in their mind & consciously translate. If ATC slowed down then they could translate in real time without the extra delay and with reduced chance for error. ATC is simply adding to their stress and their workload IMO.
I think you guys don’t understand when something like that happens of course you get stressed but mostly they are 12 planes wanting to land/take off. 1 minute late and everything can turn to madness. He just speaks fast to talk to all of them. As for he is French he should speak slower ? He never asked to repeat it’s simple no bs information.
@@moggye2261 *All* US controllers tend to speak fast IME. It's as if they think it's cool or something. As for being busy, I don't buy it. It's busy airspace, yes, but you don't often hear ATC in other countries with busy airspace talking at the rate US controllers favour. Then again, other countries manage to accept the ICAO standards without having to have their Own Special Rules just to make them feel better.
Jimminey cricket, even with the subs I still can't understand half of what is being said, id be that guy, "ya can you repeat that again and slowly this time please."
It seems that way, but after you've done it a while you hear the same phrases again and again and you're anticipating the responses, so you have a much easier time making out what they're saying compared to someone with no experience.
I took off from ATL that day departure time 10:45 for FLL on Delta 2393, and was interested to learn what had happened when I got to FLL when I was scrolling during my vacation
Well done by all, ATC, pilots, OPS, and ARFF all were totally in control of the situation and well coordinated. And Atlanta is always absolutely swamped with traffic.
Excelent video. I have a question about making a turn with 1 eng. out. Now im clearly not a pilot, but i seem to remember that you "allways" turn towards the good engine, since that wing has more lift. Or am i wrong there? I know there is procedures for the patterns around AP, but in Emergencies with eng out... ? Or is it only smaller GA's that this is important for ? This is not a critigue of the pilots, but just a simple Q to make me more enlightened :-)
This happened to me on a flight from ATL to LAX on May 28, 2017. Plane was diverted to Phoenix and we drove the rest of the way. Plane was eerily silent. So scary!
I was waiting for a friend to arrive in the cell phone lot that day. I could tell something looked wrong after the plane took off because it didn't gain altitude very quickly like the other planes did. Next thing I know it's behind me in the taxiway with fire trucks around it. I'm glad it worked out as well as it did.
My understanding is that the heavily loaded 777's are tricky to get stable speed on the initial climb so losing an engine must only add to that. I refer to the other video where a 777 stalled after takeoff.
That clip highlights the difference in training, in this flight, they turned on the dead engine where in the United 328 flight they turned on the working engine, just minor disparities in training, but it's fun to see!
Listening to all of these ATC folk and pilots, man, we've really got one hell of a system going here... Just think, the Wright brothers made their first successful flight at Kitty Hawk in 1909, and in the grand scheme of things, that's not that long ago at all... now listen to this! Pretty incredible. :))))
So interesting to see all these genuinely funny, good willed, comments, and even when I don't have a doubt about that, I wonder if everyone here knows how much experience is needed for this to end up looking as simple as it did :-)
There’s some stupid stigma that ground/tower/approach people must talk extremely fast, but that’s not required. Pilots don’t talk like that. This should be discouraged. There’s no need for it. It creates confusion and stress. I’m a pilot too by the way. I speak slowly and clearly, even though tower/ground/approach is still spitting shit out their mouths like their auctioneers. Lives have been lost because of this. I’m not an ATP, but I’ve been flying for 25 years; also in class B/C airspace. Half of their stupid supersonic chatter is an uhh uhh... correction this that uhh uhh. It’s dangerous. I’ve never understood this. There are others who don’t do this, and it’s refreshing... and safe.
I agree! As a native English speaker there were a number of times during this video when the ATC’s instructions were just a blur to me. I wonder what chance the french air crew had of decoding it accurately. Surely something as fundamental to safety as talking clearly should be hammered home as part of basic training, and then monitored by line management to ensure controllers don’t slip into incomprehensible babble at moments of high stress.
Sir this comment deserves to be seen by thousands. I'm in flight school and i feel like I'm never going to be able to talk to ATC on a class B Airspace.
Ricky Fernandes you’ll get the hang of it. Remember that you are the boss of your airplane. If you misunderstand the controller, tell them to slow down. Your safety is all that matters.
hey you should listen to cyvr atc everyday i hear on the radio bird strike idk if its with aircraft or what but might be worth a listen one day also have had a few code 3 medical flights come in had one 3-4 days ago at vancouver
Did Air France dump fuel before landing? If he did not, isn't it doo dangerous because of the weight? or is there a procedure to land with exceeding landing weight?
You mean ORY to ATL? It seems quite unlikely that an Air France 777 was flying from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to Atlanta unless it was to complete a flight after a diversion or something like that. Air France wouldn't be allowed to sell tickets on that route.
At about :35 seconds you can see a short stream of smoke come out of the left engine and a tiny flash of light behind the aircraft , looks kinda like a burning bit of metal.
My parents have a friend who used to be with Hartsfield Fire. He generally didn’t like it because so many EMS calls inside he airport, but now and then he’d get to assist with this kind of stuff
It wouldn't lean but it would try to rotate to the engine that works. Also all multi engine planes are designed to fly with one engine so there are controls and procedures to help it fly level

ATC heading 130 but captain said 120 heading anyone catch that?
Yes
You think it really matters at that point ?
Yes it can happen, if ATC did not correct either it's that there was no risk in doing so, as the crew is obviously under a higher workload in these kind of situations.
With progressive vectors, it doesn't matter. TRACON is watching them very closely. The offset will get cleaned up on their next heading change.
No, I think the readback was correct, just with a French accent. I believe the transcription is inaccurate in the video. Another example being at 4:51, the a/c is cleared to land, but the transcription says "cleared for takeoff".
How professional was ATC! GREAT JOB!
Great work as always!
The air traffic controller do his job brilliantly!
Good training by both teams. Atc and pilots
Atc was on his game, boom boom boom he had extra torque which he tapped easily.
I like that they had all the passenger and fuel info from their system and didn't need to bother the pilots.
As did the Air France pilots. Pros at work, very impressive.

Due to the nature of the emergency I'm assuming that the 777's weight exceeded the maximum allowed.

The aircraft landed with 66k lbs of fuel, that wouldn’t be enough to get Paris, I would guess that they dumped fuel before returning to land.

I wonder what chance the french air crew had of decoding it accurately. Surely something as fundamental to safety as talking clearly should be hammered home as part of basic training, and then monitored by line management to ensure controllers don’t slip into incomprehensible babble at moments of high stress.
Sir this comment deserves to be seen by thousands. I'm in flight school and i feel like I'm never going to be able to talk to ATC on a class B Airspace.
Ricky Fernandes you’ll get the hang of it. Remember that you are the boss of your airplane. If you misunderstand the controller, tell them to slow down. Your safety is all that matters.
I wish more people would talk quickly
We can actually understand much quicker than people speak
I learned to fly in high school and never had an issue
@@PVflying if you have thousands of hours like they do you know the lingo and appreciate fast talking!
Also pilots are intelligent people
Nicely handled.
Well done guys
There is a typo error on subtitle text: at 4:52 ATC says land but the text is takeoff
Wow thank God all went well, 330 souls 😱
Is there a video on this?
hey you should listen to cyvr atc everyday i hear on the radio bird strike idk if its with aircraft or what but might be worth a listen one day also have had a few code 3 medical flights come in had one 3-4 days ago at vancouver
Quite surprised they were able to land without a fuel dump
Long ass runway.
great job by the pilot and the controler
Did Air France dump fuel before landing? If he did not, isn't it doo dangerous because of the weight? or is there a procedure to land with exceeding landing weight?
Lmao the “good evening” @4:40
Family took this same plane from ORD to ATL just 8 days prior. Crazy.
You mean ORY to ATL? It seems quite unlikely that an Air France 777 was flying from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to Atlanta unless it was to complete a flight after a diversion or something like that. Air France wouldn't be allowed to sell tickets on that route.
@@vbscript2 why not ? isn't it a basic ICAO right ?
0 infants, best flight ever.
Quickest flight too
At about :35 seconds you can see a short stream of smoke come out of the left engine and a tiny flash of light behind the aircraft , looks kinda like a burning bit of metal.
My parents have a friend who used to be with Hartsfield Fire. He generally didn’t like it because so many EMS calls inside he airport, but now and then he’d get to assist with this kind of stuff
Can you use reverse thrust with one engine out? Just wondering.
Affirm
Quick question. If a left engine is out, will it not affect the balance of the whole plain? I mean would it not then lean to one side constantly?
It wouldn't lean but it would try to rotate to the engine that works. Also all multi engine planes are designed to fly with one engine so there are controls and procedures to help it fly level
@@CamSwauger Thank you for your quick response! Highly appreciated!
