Good thing they realized the issue while still near DFW. Burbank (BUR) runways are very short and probably can't handle that type of landing. 5,800 ft and 6,600 feet respectively. That's a 737-800 and I've landed at Burbank aboard a 737-800 on runway 8, the 5,600 foot runway. That was fun 😅.
Wow, this is second in a week span. It seems that there's a problem with maintanance personel lately. Ironically, airlines and the industry as a whole seem to be more interested in technology that would allow flying with one pilot. Not sure where this eagerness to cut costs and reduce human resource to the minimum will lead, but I don't have a good feeling about it.
@@nightrider9060 So, it is normal that within 7 days a plane from the same airline has trim issues after taking off from the same airport? Idk much about mechanics, but I've heard professionals saying this is not ok.
@@DaveLee83 Those are valid motives for why the issues show up. However, they do not explain why the aircrafts receive green light to takeoff with such issues. People from the industry blame it on companies investing less and less on training for the maintenance teams. A lot of experienced mechanics have retired lately or simply quit the industry due to conditions. New ones do their best, but in lack of proper training they often fail to identify problems and deem aircrafts as "safe to fly" even though they are not.
This is such a great example of how ATC and pilots should interact. I wanna give special shout out to this pilot for being so calm and collected.
Team work at its best . This should be a training video .
That pilot's radio discipline was so much better than some we hear on here.
Nice

They would have just diverted to LAX then.
Nice!

It is being made public more often , nothing to do with cutting costs.

These aircraft are getting older, reports of supply issues, it's also peak travel season. So every aircraft possible is probably in service.

You came to this conclusion based on RUclips videos?? Wow
