ATC at Schiphol in general is so professional and calm, giving peace and assurance to the guys working in the cockpit. Whenever there is an issue, immediately activating a discreet frequency to prevent too much switching between controllers. Such a difference with the US
Haha I thought so too but the plane spent 3 days on ground before it return to revenue service so it was probably something more that needed a part replacement.
Not always, had this happen in the KC-135 and it turned out to be the problem with the hydraulic system. That said, even though we were holding & staring at all of the pins, down locks, and steering lockouts, we were still sweating it 😂
As a non -aviation person here,at what point do they notify the passengers as to what is going on?How does the rest of aviation deal with feet and miles when the rest of the world is metric?Thank you.
Pilots advised the passengers about the problem probably as soon as they found out that they will have to return to Amsterdam. For the feet and miles, it is used in aviation in the whole world except Russia, so its not a problem
Well, the workload in the cockpit goes up (coordinating with company, ATC, and running through checklists). Communication with passengers is last priority. Additionally, sharing specific details with passengers benefits nobody. The pilots likely call the head purser (lead flight attendant) first to prep the cabin for a routine landing. Perhaps sometime after joining the final approach course, pilot may make a brief announcement “Out of an abundance of caution, we will be returning to Schipol Airport momentarily. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we’ll have more information for you once we return to the gate.”
@@LovroJung Thank you so much for your response.Since I live in the United States,sometimes it is difficult to see how the rest of the world looks at units of measure.I wonder if it is difficult for pilots born and raised in other countries to adapt to feet and miles.
@@7andre Thank you also for your relpy.When watching the path of the aircraft on the video,I was wondering if the passengers thought there was something amis because the plane made so many turns.
Culture shock of not being asked for fuel and souls 3 times.
…just 3 times?!
Just because they`ve just departed, ground know that but I beleive ATC and ground services reasked that each other for more than 3 times :D
No emergency declared
@@bruceholberg4197 no reason not to prepare this information for possible declaration

Non-US content. Hurray!
I enjoy these to appreciate the professionalism and precision of the communications.
Polite, too.
Amsterdam ATC is always top
Excellent job!
If only US ATC could handle things like this
Two words: Gear pins.

Is this about the Aerosoft A330?😮😂
Glory to Ukraine!!!
Wait, it's not a Boeing?
Rather then not come up vs not coming down.
