Working hard to bring quickly the best content to you guys. KUDOS to these pilots who brought the aircraft down safely. Agencies still investigating the cause of the engine failure and official reports will be posted here as soon as they come up.
That's interesting. Has this reputation existed since the pilot' interactions on AF447 came to light or is it more recent or even longer standing? Sorry, just really interested!
People complain for declaring emergency - blower assembly was torn out completely, consequent damages in airplane systems are unknown (hydro leak, electric shorts and hidden fire or wing construction invisible damage). I remember Polish Airlines flight 5055 who suffered inner turbine shaft break, runaway and disk centrifugal rupture. At beginning seems not serious problem, but red hot turbine parts causing fire inside cargo segment. Due fractures in sensor wiring pilots are unaware of real danger. In consequence they refuse ASAP emergency landing at Torun and Modlin, but decide returning to Warsaw. They don't make airfield by few kilometers and crashed into forest. No survivors.
Reportedly, the primary causal factor in the failure was the seizure of the roller bearings in Engine No. 2 after being brought up to full climb thrust; the bearing assembly only had half of the required rollers due to delayed supply and contract-related time constraints.
It seems like when the pilot said that we will taxi directly to parking, he was assuming that whatever was going to fall off the engine had already fallen off well before they landed.. when he was informed that they were picking up parts of his plane on the runway, he was probably thinking "Oh... . On second thought, we'll stop right here and let someone inspect the engine."
I was curious so I looked it up: DCAAA is a Cessna Citation 560XL licensed to Daimler-Chrysler. It was on a trip from Wichita (KICT) to Stuttgart (EDDS) via Goose Bay (CYYR) and Reykjavik (BIRK).
FerrowTheFox The divorce of Daimler and Chrysler was in 2007, Chrysler is now belonging to Fiat. So the lease should have been updated to Daimler only.
Every time you hear about a trans-Atlantic jet with a problem where do they go... YYR since 1941 YYR has taken in the lost, broken and stranded jets and planes in addition to their own traffic. Pretty cool people in my opinion.
The previous time I flew to the US we had to stop there due to a medical emergency. Not sure how the A380 will get off the ground again because the runway is pretty short. I love the fact the nearby town is called Happy Valley.
The runways at Goose Bay and Gander isn't short. 08/26 is 11,051ft long and 16/34 is 9,580ft at Goose Bay and 03/21 is 10,200ft at Gander. The a380s land at runways shorter than that.
Nice, cool, professional handling. Well done, madam. (Couldn't help grinning about the emergency vehicles scurrying behind collecting the bits the machine was shedding. Don't want any FOD left.)
Considering it was missing the entire compressor stage..... Still, all sorts of parts might have been waiting for the impact of landing to fall off, so I hope they took a good look at the runway, too.
Now, there is a story to tell: We had a DC-3 here in Germany, registration D-CCCC! Sadly it crashed on 22 December 1991 near Heidelberg. The registration is still in use... Wonder whether the abbreviated callsign would be DELTA QUADRUPLE CHARLIE. Otherwise you would have to count the CHARLIEs when on the radio.
@@dfolt Well, abbreviated would be DCC, full can be said Delta quadruple charlie (although Delta tripple charlie charlie would be my choice). (atm using the aircraft type is becoming an option again, not sure whether that would make it type + tripple or quadruple charlie)
Excelent chanel! Great work im air traffic controller in San Fernando International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina (SADF) I use these videos to practice phraseology in english especially in non routine situations. Greetings from Argentina
From the looks of it he lost the fan and LP compressor. You can see the N2 (HP) compressor rotor blade, and the stator vanes of the fan duct. They got damm lucky it didn't take out the wing, a control surface or tear through the cabin
alexmeier175 Is it luck? I mean the plane is travelling with more than 1000 km/h and it was the outer engine. I don't know the fan diameter, the revs and the distance between engine 4 and the fuselage but I think there is a big chance that the plane passes the spot where the engine parts will enter the fuselage area. A calculation would be definitely interesting.
It's amazing how common cowl failures are. The true testament to the engineering of these birds is the fact that they can blow, engine will vibrate significantly due to potential internal damage, aerodynamics compromised, wing vibration and can still fly to land. A terrifying situation for passengers but the planes hold together through all of it.
OMG that's an annoying call sign! I'd say those passengers are lucky to be alive. You can see where the pieces broke off the engine and damaged the wing.
The engine was shut down upon failure. The plane can easily fly on three engines. No fire hazard existed once the engine was shut down. Clearing the runway was a good decision. The runway can easily handle the weight of the aircraft. The airport had two runways, but only one is used based on wind direction. Retired Air Force crew chief.
The engine was cut off after a confirmation of the engine status after a series of warning in the cockpit, in addition to a visual inspection to that engine from the passenger cabin as well. Great CRM and communication performed by the crew.
That big jet could they not cut off and bin the engine. Repair the aerodynamics and ferry it home empty-ish (ballast no passengers or cargo) on 3 engines rather than flying in a team and parts and fixing it in Canada
John B, There is no way they would let this fly with the damage. You can see in the still photo at the end, the wing has damage to it. The FAA wouldn't allow that into their airspace or to land at an airport. I don't think Air France would want it flown with a damaged wing.
I didn't appreciate an insurmountable amount of wing damage that couldn't be fixed. The FAA is irrelevant. It's in Canada it an Airbus product, an Air France aircraft and its going back to France. All of this is conjecture of course. We'll see what they do. Hopefully they have enough space in Gander to house the big bird.
I just imagined this phrase. That would've been so awesome. DCAAA exit Alpha1 right onto Alpha txy via Alpha to Alpha 3 entry point Alpha to the Ramp Stand Alpha.
I can’t believe I’m the first person to notice that Goose Tower uses the same radio frequency as one of the Kennedy Tower frequencies (119.1) and that Goose Ground uses the same radio frequency as Kennedy Ground (121.9). This can’t be a coincidence.
Thankfully, A380s have been in the air for about 11 years and they have never had any truly fatal trouble with machinery and everything has been updated accordigly. Some trouble has occurred a few times, yes, but the only ones I can recall were Qantas and this, and both landed safely.
Awesome work on this!! Looks like the shaft sheared off and the blades pulled the cowling off the front? Whatever, they are so damn lucky that wing didn't get hit and was intact. I can't believe they left those people on the plane after the landing!! I suspect there'll be some guff over that eh?
Great job as always! One quick correction, at 6:44, she says "And no trouble to tell what, uh, engine had trouble" (meaning from the severe damage, the fire crew will be able to see No. 4 is damaged).
The amount of different things you bring together when the relevant footage is available makes for awesome content Victor. As for the ATC itself, slightly surprised that they delayed asking for an inspection. My presumption is that there was not considered to be any danger, therefore the decision was to get passengers off the plane and then get it looked at, and that the pilot changed his mind at the first sign of potential danger. Not in any way criticising the captain, just thought it was a standard thing to have an immediate inspection when the cause of the emergency is physical damage to aircraft?
Hey did not care about parts falling of the engine, but if it would be leaking he would have contaminated half the airfields grounds with fluids you really don't want to have there. So as soon as they told him the engine is loosing parts he let them look to prevent environmental damage, in case the shut-off-valves were damaged. Whilst you probably can drink the engine oil (probably Mobil Jet Oil 2) the hydraulic fluid (probably HyJet 5) is so bad that your kids grandkids will still get all sorts of stuff.
Lovely Screen layout,l really like to see the inset pictures of the plane,that pilot was very polite to ATC, you would wonder how things like this happen to a plane it must have been inspected before takeoff you would think if there was a weakness it would have been spotted,it had to be bad when there were still pieces falling off the plane on landing. Thanks again VASAviation.
Agnes T With the instrumentation built into modern engines, *almost* any "developing" fault would be detected well before it was a safety hazard. Whatever happened in this case did so very quickly, and before the engine could protect itself. I'm going to throw a wild GUESS out there and suggest we may be seeing more stringent criteria for testing composite fan blades.
Yes ...... Qantas QF32 was Rolls powered. The incident there was due to a badly manufactured oil pipe bursting and showering the engine hot section with oil.
A good landing is one that you can walk away from. A great landing is one that the aircraft can be flown again! Commercial jets above a certain gross weight are called "jumbo", the category above that is called "heavy" and the largest of the heavies are called "super". The pilot is not referring to the problem as a super mayday but the aircraft type (super) and the condition (mayday). Terms are abbreviated to give the most information with the least words.
Dad was an A&P when the Connies flew. I've done all the Ground school taught by one of they 99's. I do old scholl flying. You youngsters have it easy.....
I can't wait to learn if this GE Engine had a similar or otherwise identical cause of failure as the Rolls Royce engine in the Qantas mishap. Sometimes I wonder if we are pushing the envelope too far with the size of these new airliners but then I think of many decades the B52 and C5 Galaxy planes have flown and never had issues like these.
YYR ATC did a damn fine job; in-fact, this was a damn fine job all the way around! Sadly, it is now not just the RR Trent, but the Engine Alliance models which have experienced uncontained failures.
But the QF32 engine failure was in the hot section area, the HP turbine disk disintegrated due to an oil fire, fed from a broken oil pipe. The AF incident here is the engine front end departing the aircraft.
It will be interesting to find out what the trajectory of the shrapnel was, and what the expansion analysis on the fan containment, plus what the analysis of the compressor section yields, if anything. The photos which I saw left too much to the imagination, however, there was one angle which showed the pylon as having much more damage than the rest of the views. So-much-so, that I was surprised that the engine didn't become "cocked" - as the failure transpired. I also read (immediately after the incident), that there was a 'fair amount of debris' scattered about the CYYR runway after the landing. I'd like to know what 'breadcrumbs' were left behind.
Hey, would it be possible for you to upload the ATC audio for September 19 in México D.F.? We had an earthquake bigger than the last one and the airport suffered damages. Thank you. It was at 13:14hours
You gotta give it to the designers tho....catastrophic engine failure, still landed and even taxied by itself. "Uh We are picking up engine parts" "Roger, we'll continue to taxi" no fucks given...until they ran the checklist xD
Air France is the only airline in RUclips ATC videos that I've ever heard use"Mayday" with the callsign (there's another AF video landing in Ireland? doing this too. I think I've heard another add "emergency aircraft"after the callsign. What is the standard? Why don't more aircraft in emergencies do this?
Practically all the world uses mayday in the callsign when in an emergency because that is the international procedure, but most youtube atc videos happen in the US where they don't follow the international standard idk why
The RT standard is that you don't HAVE to do it, but it's recommended "where it is judged that this would have a beneficial effect on the outcome". That said, it should be a prefix, not a suffix. Really it should be "Mayday Air France 066 Super", if you fancy being pedantic about it!
I seen a video on here where a pilot calls ATC saying they have lost an engine. ATC calls back wanting them to confirm that they have lost an engine. The pilot then calls back saying "Confirmed, we have lost an engine. The engine is no longer attached to the aircraft." ATC then called back "You mean it fail off!" The pilot then called back "Yes, the engine fail off." It was found in some one's back yard. Lucky it just messed up the lawn and nothing else.
Kudos to this channel for interleaving the video from the folk on the ground at the appropriate time in the ATC audio. That video was apparently taken by two people in a car who did not realise it was an emergency till they saw the broken engine. Luckily both of them had their phones videoing the final approach before they realised just how significant their footage was.

Working hard to bring quickly the best content to you guys. KUDOS to these pilots who brought the aircraft down safely. Agencies still investigating the cause of the engine failure and official reports will be posted here as soon as they come up.
Did you not see half the Engine missing?
Glad you're not my pilot. Should the captain have waited until he lost power to all 4 engineers and cabin pressure to 500+
before declaring a mayday?
Thank you :)
So would the captain get in to trouble for declaring a mayday?
That's interesting. Has this reputation existed since the pilot' interactions on AF447 came to light or is it more recent or even longer standing? Sorry, just really interested!
Oh you even changed the Icon for the plane to show the damaged engine such an attention to detail great work :D
Every little detail counts on this channel :)
Was going to say the same thing!
didn't noticed.... Pressed like because of this
Yes, that was very cool! Good job, as usual.
Great catch!
I love that the little green airplane icon has half a number 4 engine
When u have almost 400 souls in ur hands it's a SUPER MAYDAY. Congrats Major.
"Tower, engine is falling apart but we're cool as ice, AF066 Super Calm."
You can instantly tell that DCAAA is German haha
you can understand him much better then the french guy...
alpha alpha alpha" :D
Super Mayday
May days are usually super.
Not "Super Mayday", rather "AF66 Super, Mayday"
It's AF66 Super Mayday, without the comma. The 'Mayday' suffix is added to the callsign to indicate it's an emergency aircraft.
Mandarin accent? LOOL , this pilot sounds as french as they come.
They're French, how could a regular mayday ever be good enough?

whos complaining about mayday? can't see a single one
“Blower assembly”?!
LOL

Red Leader? I don't think that plane will be doing the Kessel Run anytime soon!
Thankfully the bits of engine didn't damage the wing too badly, they just impacted on the surface.
cut the chatter Red 2.
The Force is 25% less strong in this one.
i guess it'll take him longer than 12 parsecs to do the kessel run!
Red leader was an x wing.... had nothing to do with the kessel run lol
I wonder if DCAAA is flying to Aaachen.
You will smile that is a Daimler Benz Company Jet...
I was curious so I looked it up: DCAAA is a Cessna Citation 560XL licensed to Daimler-Chrysler. It was on a trip from Wichita (KICT) to Stuttgart (EDDS) via Goose Bay (CYYR) and Reykjavik (BIRK).
Or Tahiti fa’aa maybe.
FerrowTheFox CYYR and BIRK are common stops for biz jets flying over the North Atlantic to and from Europe
FerrowTheFox The divorce of Daimler and Chrysler was in 2007, Chrysler is now belonging to Fiat. So the lease should have been updated to Daimler only.
Every time you hear about a trans-Atlantic jet with a problem where do they go... YYR since 1941 YYR has taken in the lost, broken and stranded jets and planes in addition to their own traffic. Pretty cool people in my opinion.
It's an interesting job. Real weird hours too.
Them and Gander. Gotta love them, especially during 9/11. Always there when you need them.
The previous time I flew to the US we had to stop there due to a medical emergency. Not sure how the A380 will get off the ground again because the runway is pretty short. I love the fact the nearby town is called Happy Valley.
The runways at Goose Bay and Gander isn't short. 08/26 is 11,051ft long and 16/34 is 9,580ft at Goose Bay and 03/21 is 10,200ft at Gander. The a380s land at runways shorter than that.
Sure it can land, but can it take off again? I suspect they may have to fuel for a short hop to an airport with a longer runway to get back again.
Nice, cool, professional handling. Well done, madam. (Couldn't help grinning about the emergency vehicles scurrying behind collecting the bits the machine was shedding. Don't want any FOD left.)
Yeah, I reckon those turbines were somewhat out of balance after chewing up all that aluminium.
I'm sure the engine was shut down at that point but still look parts falling off from the landing..
Considering it was missing the entire compressor stage..... Still, all sorts of parts might have been waiting for the impact of landing to fall off, so I hope they took a good look at the runway, too.
Holy hell DCAAA needs to submit a tail number registration change request or file for a callsign.
Now, there is a story to tell: We had a DC-3 here in Germany, registration D-CCCC! Sadly it crashed on 22 December 1991 near Heidelberg. The registration is still in use...

Excelent chanel! Great work im air traffic controller in San Fernando International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina (SADF)
I use these videos to practice phraseology in english especially in non routine situations.
Greetings from Argentina
Hi Ezequiel,
That makes me so happy. Glad to help out. ¡Abrazos!
I wouldn’t call the emergency “secure” if the vehicle behind you is picking up pieces of your engine as you taxi to your parking spot.
Oh he lost a lot more than just the cowling
Exactly...lost half the damn engine
J Waugh exactly he lost the cowling because of the fans malfunction the cowleing done it’s job by proventing the blades flying every were..👍👍
He lost the fan and cowling, i think all the compressor stages are still there though.
From the looks of it he lost the fan and LP compressor. You can see the N2 (HP) compressor rotor blade, and the stator vanes of the fan duct. They got damm lucky it didn't take out the wing, a control surface or tear through the cabin

I like how you cropped the engine.
Details make difference.
She's the most Canadian ATC ever :p uses the accents and the thank yous
Ivan Eduardo Veloz Guerrero but she didn't say Sore-E about what happened to the engine!
We are all Canadian here.
Loosing even 1 engine on a four engine plane would make a pilot worry. Mayday very appropriate. AF pilots did marvelous job.
OMG that's an annoying call sign!
I'd say those passengers are lucky to be alive. You can see where the pieces broke off the engine and damaged the wing.
A380-861 - Engine Alliance GP7270
At this time, it wasn't a Rolls-Royce engine.

Thank you very much for your service!
6:45 "And no trouble to tell what engine had troubles."
I saw this on the Google news headlines and I'm shocked that you already have it up! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always working hard! :)
wow you guys are FAST! thankyou very much for this and for your quickness. keep up the good work
6:43 And no trouble to tell, what engine had trouble.
Engine number 4 .
Which is the far end starboard engine
Thanks for posting so quickly, allowing so many experts to contribute! I smiled at the aircraft icon, with the #4 inlet cowl so neatly removed.
Every detail is taken into account on this channel :)
Outstanding videos. I appreciate the work you put into them.
Glad you like them!
Love the authority of the lady flight controller. She knows her stuff and no doubt who is in charge!
Like the animation with the broken Engine
Interesting that bits of the cowling were still falling off after landing...
Ian Harwood not really landings are hard on an airplane could have been loose to begin with
AFR: "We'll continue to parking."
ATC: "Your cowling is all over the runway."
AFR: "[Merde!] We're stopping right here."
you actually included the blown engine in your aircraft icon. nice!
Love your videos, very informative, good graphic ! Keep up the good work, VAS
Thank you! Glad you like them.
Fascinating. Thanks for posting. All handled professionally and calm. Pilot was difficult to understand so thanks for text !
Another great video by VASAviation! Thanks. And the pilots and ATC did a great job.
Competent Lady Controller.
Apparantly this airport gets most/all the airplanes that have problems when crossing the atlantic. So they very well trained :)
A.M. Fortas I think there were two Ladies if I'm not mistaken, approach and ground? :-) pretty cool and jobs well done.
She is RCAF most likely- the airport is military controlled.
Also it's cool that someone recorded the landing!
Standard MAYDAY Operations. It's too bad that our FAA never releases this stuff.
Good to hear that Red Leader was standing by.
Now where the heck was Red 5
Glad everybody was ok. Great job to all the professionals involved.
Fantastic work! Thanks for the quick upload!!!
James Pohlmann IKR I wish I could edit and upload my own RUclips videos that well that quickly XD
Thank you, VASAviation, for making and sharing such an excellent video.
Thank you, Bettie! :)
thank you for the caption, it's a great help because sometime is hard to understand. Well done mates :-)
Cowling? How about the whole N1 stage compressor?
The engine was cut off after a confirmation of the engine status after a series of warning in the cockpit, in addition to a visual inspection to that engine from the passenger cabin as well. Great CRM and communication performed by the crew.

All of this is conjecture of course. We'll see what they do. Hopefully they have enough space in Gander to house the big bird.
But this was an Engine alliance engine.
I just imagined this phrase. That would've been so awesome. DCAAA exit Alpha1 right onto Alpha txy via Alpha to Alpha 3 entry point Alpha to the Ramp Stand Alpha.
I can’t believe I’m the first person to notice that Goose Tower uses the same radio frequency as one of the Kennedy Tower frequencies (119.1) and that Goose Ground uses the same radio frequency as Kennedy Ground (121.9). This can’t be a coincidence.
same for Tansonnhat Ground 121.9
These are very common frequencies for tower and ground
AF66 usually flies over where I live in western Canada on its way to LAX. I seen a couple of these A380's overhead with binoculars.
Thankfully, A380s have been in the air for about 11 years and they have never had any truly fatal trouble with machinery and everything has been updated accordigly. Some trouble has occurred a few times, yes, but the only ones I can recall were Qantas and this, and both landed safely.
Great work by the controller and an excellent manner
Awesome work on this!! Looks like the shaft sheared off and the blades pulled the cowling off the front? Whatever, they are so damn lucky that wing didn't get hit and was intact. I can't believe they left those people on the plane after the landing!! I suspect there'll be some guff over that eh?
wow this is a really fast observating for AF66 . kudos
Airbus, check.
Air France, check.
General Electric, check.
Great job as always! One quick correction, at 6:44, she says "And no trouble to tell what, uh, engine had trouble" (meaning from the severe damage, the fire crew will be able to see No. 4 is damaged).
The amount of different things you bring together when the relevant footage is available makes for awesome content Victor.

Not in any way criticising the captain, just thought it was a standard thing to have an immediate inspection when the cause of the emergency is physical damage to aircraft?
Probably didn't want to block the runway (just my uneducated guess)
Hey did not care about parts falling of the engine, but if it would be leaking he would have contaminated half the airfields grounds with fluids you really don't want to have there.
So as soon as they told him the engine is loosing parts he let them look to prevent environmental damage, in case the shut-off-valves were damaged.

Whatever happened in this case did so very quickly, and before the engine could protect itself. I'm going to throw a wild GUESS out there and suggest we may be seeing more stringent criteria for testing composite fan blades.
70 tons of fuel! That is a super mayday. Great job getting all in safe.
The "alpha alpha alpha" sounds very cute to me :p
As always, very well done VASAviation. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! :)
VASAviation I love how your diagram of the jet reflected its partially missing engine!
Little details :)
6:42 "no trouble to tell what engine had trouble"
The visuals are great, keep it up!
Thanks for watching! :)
What's the DCAAA entity? I understand YYR GND to be the ATC and AFR066 to be the aircraft.
Thank you for posting
Thank you for watching! :)
Nice video! That was insane, a second incident involving the A380, oh man. And same issue as Qantas, the engine! Although Air France was a GP7000
Yes ...... Qantas QF32 was Rolls powered. The incident there was due to a badly manufactured oil pipe bursting and showering the engine hot section with oil.
+VASAviation that was FAST!
Always! :D
My friend was on the runway working when this happened, he sent me pictures.
Would it be normal to allow an aircraft in this condition to taxi before an inspection? Wouldn't you want to deal with any risk of fire soonest?
A good landing is one that you can walk away from. A great landing is one that the aircraft can be flown again!
Commercial jets above a certain gross weight are called "jumbo", the category above that is called "heavy" and the largest of the heavies are called "super". The pilot is not referring to the problem as a super mayday but the aircraft type (super) and the condition (mayday). Terms are abbreviated to give the most information with the least words.
idiot old crap.
Wha???
There's no callsign category called "jumbo", just "heavy" and "super".
Great work getting everyone down safe. Surprised though they didn't stop on runway / as soon as exited for full safety check...?
Dad was an A&P when the Connies flew. I've done all the Ground school taught by one of they 99's. I do old scholl flying. You youngsters have it easy.....
I can't wait to learn if this GE Engine had a similar or otherwise identical cause of failure as the Rolls Royce engine in the Qantas mishap. Sometimes I wonder if we are pushing the envelope too far with the size of these new airliners but then I think of many decades the B52 and C5 Galaxy planes have flown and never had issues like these.
Was waiting for this one
You didn't wait too much :D
Glad it all got down safely. (Rd pack: Operate procedure "Brush and Dustpan")
What a horrible callsign that Citation has... D-CAAA
"Red Leader standing by..."
I guess the fire truck is not much of a talker.
YYR ATC did a damn fine job; in-fact, this was a damn fine job all the way around! Sadly, it is now not just the RR Trent, but the Engine Alliance models which have experienced uncontained failures.
But the QF32 engine failure was in the hot section area, the HP turbine disk disintegrated due to an oil fire, fed from a broken oil pipe.

We saw this aircraft passing over the UK whilst stood outside our local airstrip and then saw this news a few hours later.
I flew out of KBVY today and was wondering how you get your recorded atc. I would love to hear myself over the freq.
Red leader, get Red 2 to cut the chatter.
And begin your attack run.
Now that's genuine efficiency. Thank you very much!
I swore the pilots french accent got heavier and heavier as this went along.
He was probably a little nervous and focusing on what he was doing more than checking his accent! I m French and this happen to me sometimes!
Delta Echo _Trying to pull that ATC chick. You can take the man out of France....
The first pilot on the radio is German. Cant you tell the difference?
Great Job!
Hey, would it be possible for you to upload the ATC audio for September 19 in México D.F.? We had an earthquake bigger than the last one and the airport suffered damages. Thank you. It was at 13:14hours
You gotta give it to the designers tho....catastrophic engine failure, still landed and even taxied by itself. "Uh We are picking up engine parts" "Roger, we'll continue to taxi" no fucks given...until they ran the checklist xD
Good job AF Crew!
4:41 kilo whiskey hotel is landing at the causeway
Air France is the only airline in RUclips ATC videos that I've ever heard use"Mayday" with the callsign (there's another AF video landing in Ireland? doing this too. I think I've heard another add "emergency aircraft"after the callsign. What is the standard? Why don't more aircraft in emergencies do this?
Practically all the world uses mayday in the callsign when in an emergency because that is the international procedure, but most youtube atc videos happen in the US where they don't follow the international standard idk why
true, that’s the standard procedure. Especially since a 707 crashed in NY because ATC didn’t understand he was Mayday.
I've heard it from British airlines too. (BA and Ryanair I think) Both on bird strikes at takeoff.
Here in the US, we were using the word 'Emergency' before the word 'Mayday' became the international standard.
The RT standard is that you don't HAVE to do it, but it's recommended "where it is judged that this would have a beneficial effect on the outcome". That said, it should be a prefix, not a suffix. Really it should be "Mayday Air France 066 Super", if you fancy being pedantic about it!
We also left on a Saturday so it was very close but We left on August 2017 on Air France flight 66
It's nice to see the allied nations working together on the flight deck.
4:40 "KWH landing at the causeway."
I seen a video on here where a pilot calls ATC saying they have lost an engine. ATC calls back wanting them to confirm that they have lost an engine. The pilot then calls back saying "Confirmed, we have lost an engine. The engine is no longer attached to the aircraft." ATC then called back "You mean it fail off!" The pilot then called back "Yes, the engine fail off." It was found in some one's back yard. Lucky it just messed up the lawn and nothing else.
Great video although I wish we had access to the ATC right after the incident happened. Were they talking to control in Greenland at this point ?
Probably Gander Oceanic Radio. No chance to get this audio at all.
AirFrance, my dreamed Airline
Kudos to this channel for interleaving the video from the folk on the ground at the appropriate time in the ATC audio.
That video was apparently taken by two people in a car who did not realise it was an emergency till they saw the broken engine. Luckily both of them had their phones videoing the final approach before they realised just how significant their footage was.
6:43 and no trouble to tell what engine had trouble.
It was obviously damaged that tower could easily spot it.
Look. In situations like this, ask for permission to drop two "Alphas" off the end. This is Rediculous. Alpha, Alpha, Alpha my ass.
Not just MAYDAY but Super MAYDAY 😂
this was quite a text book emergency . ( a fairly major one too ) . with a successful outcome . .. .
