- THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
19-MAR-2024. An American Airlines Boeing 737-800 (B738), registration N880NN, performing flight AAL406 / AA406 from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, TX (USA) to Miami International Airport, FL (USA) after departure reported nose gear problem, the gear indication was showing red, stopped climb at 4000 feet and requested return. A bit later the pilots declared an emergency and requested the low pass over the runway for inspection. After the low pass the flight crew was informed that the gear was down and they decided to commence the approach. The airplane landed safely on runway 36 right and vacated the runway.

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:
1) I monitor media, airspace, looking for any non-standard, emergency and interesting situation.
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 departure ATC guy was awesome, very cool calm and collected, which is exactly what you want to see or hear. Plus it seems there are now less issues compared to a few months ago. I myself was involved in a Go-around at SNA and we were descending out of 200ft when the Go-around was initiated, as there was an unknown Cesna business jet on our active runway 20R. Plus there were quite a few other similar incidents in San Diego/SAN, San Francisco/SFO (multiple times) and other's across the country. Seems lately ATC has been doing a great job and that is a relief, because it was getting concerning for awhile. Thankfully there were only a few near misses or near tragedies and thankfully things are improving.
Busiest U.S. airports by total passenger boardings
Sfo: 14th
San Diego: 24th
Austin: 28th
SFO, from what I've read, is a complicated place to land due to how close the runways are and the weather/fog/winds. San Diego is also complicated due to being one runway -- it's the busiest single runway in the USA. Using example from an ATC who's likely less stressed and comparing it to more stressed ATC with a more complicated airspace and airport is probably not a fair comparison.
From what I've heard (per more perfect union's video), ATC is being overworked in US still and issues are likely still going to happen at these complicated airports due to that high stress from needing to work overtime. Has there been actual changes to address the unnecessarily high workload?
That is some of best coordination I have heard- Good to know Pilots and ATC deal with these issues with cool professionalism!
Clear and concise controllers 👍 Good Job everyone
Excellent communications!
Wow! These guys are awesome. I'm super happy we are flying into Austin next week. I can only assume they practice dealing with emergencies on a regular basis. Good coordination all round.
I honestly don't know how old this 737NG is, but I really hope nobody thinks this is a Boeing problem, because this can happen to any airplane of any manufacturer.
Quick google -- over a decade (12.4 Years)
What I'm wondering is what issue happened first -- like it was take off, not a landing -- but the indication was the gear was unsafe for landing?
Well, I can’t understand is in this day and age why we can’t have a camera mounted underneath the aircraft to make a visual reference of the landing gear system how easy would it be to retrofit that many airplanes at relatively little cost?
1:22 .. Our nose gear is not showing down.. Should it be down in this phase of flight ?? Don't think so...
They had an issue and put the gear back down, so yes.
Find it hard to believe they ran the QRH for a gear disagree in less than 7 minutes. Cowboy low pass for no reason. Bizzare. If they had a green indication on overhead panel then it's a non issue.
Gear indication is not on the overhead panel, its on the fwd panel near the gear handle in front of the first officer.
@@andresmith9212wrong.. well kinda wrong.. 1windshear is right.. the secondary gear indications are on the overhead, and if any combo of indications are green, you’re good to go. I don’t understand the low pass either.. there’s nothing that the tower can tell you that would change my actions. You run the QRH, and after the procedure is complete, you are landing anyway. The tower can’t confirm that the nosegear is locked any more than the systems in the plane. Besides if the nose wheel really isn’t down, that’s going to be a non event landing anyway.. kinda the best wheel to not be able to extend if you had to chose.
Trying to think of a reason for the low pass…it almost seems like more of a threat to do that than trust the alternate gear lights on the aft overhead panel.
I agree 100% I was taught that any combination of green lights forward panel and/or aft overhead meant you were good to go. Maybe discuss it so that it’s recorded on the CVR. If there’s a checklist run it, otherwise, land the plane.
Boeing in their QRHs recommend NOT doing low passes. People on the ground can't tell that your gear is locked or unlocked. You follow the checklist and respect the indication in the cockpit. What information did they get by having been told that your gear "appears" down? Nothing.
Pilots..if you are declaring an emergency say….Mayday Mayday Mayday or in this case Pan Pan Pan..its really Ok and preferred to do that. Makes your intentions clear.
Stop foisting your EuroBrit traditions on the rest of the world.
That is not standard in the US bozo
Ok internet RUclipsr. (rolls eyes)
True !
Great lecture. We prefer Emergency.
