    Exemplary MAYDAY call. It's noteworthy compared to American communications, which I hear most often, that the crew told the ATC what they were going to do, instead of ATC telling them how to handle their emergency. That is by the book.

    • @Chris_Myers.
      @Chris_Myers. Год назад +22

      Agreed, the communication between all involved parties was superb! They did an excellent job of accounting for any ambiguities (such as the clarifications on holding for fuel or landing) and ensuring that intended actions were always known and accounted for (such as telling the other landing plane to stop climbing at 2k on a missed approach, because the mayday plane was at 3k).

    Enthusiast, not a pilot - so don’t bite my head off… is there a reason for this aircraft to sit blocking a full runway? You’ve got one fully functional engine, why can’t they get clear to allow other aircraft to land?
    Also, how long had the Transavia been holding prior to WizzAir’s incident? Maybe it’s the editing but the whole incident seemed to be resolved really quite quickly, WizzAir didn’t seem to be holding for long, so why was the Transavia so close to their divert fuel?
    The communication from everyone sounded very clear, very professional. It just seems odd to shut a runway for immediate inspection for a potential compressor stall and no mention of fire indication, rather than just taxi clear.

    • @Adwaenyth
      @Adwaenyth Год назад +7

      They were not entirely sure why the engine stopped working.
      While it can be something rather minor that caused that, it is also possible that the engine sustained damage and that the full extend of the damage only manifests once there is no more airflow through the engine. A condition that could even start a fire, depending on what happened to the engine. Also it could be a bent or partially ruptured blade that causes an engine to stall. In that case the continous force on the blade might tear it off and damage the engine further.
      So they go for the approach of rather being safe than sorry and have it shut down and have it inspected as soon as possible.

    Interesting that they bark light aircraft out of the airspace but allow Transavia in.
    If that Transavia blows a tire on landing, the emergency would have to divert...
    Also stopping on the runway after a surge; if there is no fire warning, just shut it down and move on. But it may be company policy....

      It seems they were unsure if it was simply an unproblematic surge of if there was some heat damage, fire damage, leaks, etc. Like you better know of a leak asap before going all around the airport with something dripping.

    Anyone else feel that this emergency was unwarranted? The engine was idling normally and the pilot was having no handling issues, nothing was on fire, everything else was working...

    • @cageordie
      @cageordie Год назад +56

      Seriously? An engine failure on a twin jet is an emergency. The fact the engine will still idle does not mean it can be relied on for power. So if the other engine fails then you may or may not make it back to the airport on an engine that has already shown it is faulty. The idling engine will run the hydraulic pump and generator though, so it means landing with all hydraulics and electrics still operational. Being able to land a crippled plane does not mean it wasn't an emergency in the first place.

      @kristian2956 Год назад +26

      If my plane had an engine shutoff during start and my pilot would decide „yep, just about what I would expect“ I would have serious issues with this judgement! Also different airlines have differend codes of conduct about these types of incidents. Maybe a PANPANPAN would have been enough, however it would have not changed much, how the ATC would have handled the situation, so in my oppinion this was a great example how such a situation SHOULD be handled!
