- An Emirates Boeing 777-31H registration A6-ECE performing flight EK229 from Dubai (OMDB) to Seattle (KSEA).
EK229 missed the approach at Seattle (KSEA) due to strong wind and decided to divert to Vancouver (CYVR). While descending to the alternate airport, EK229 declared an emergency and minimum fuel remaining.

The ATC is so nice, "right side if you'd like whatever you want" and the pilot goes full mayday on him :D
That is the best way when there is a language barrier to get what you need
@@RonPiggott that's not even really a language barrier, Emirates pilots are top notch most of the time, this pilot as well. Still a good decision to declare mayday and make the situation clear
Legally, if the aircraft reach a certain amount of fuel left, they have to declare a mayday - fuel call to the ATC, it's not even language barrier or just pilots wanting to get something that way; it's a legal requirement
1/2 hour fuel in that big bird, that's got a pucker factor of about 9.7
Ancient history!!! Repeating so soon? Bye bye
Party Pooper
This was some years ago. If you could date your vids that would be great.
This incident is years old. Why not include the date of the incident?
Only a 6 1/2 year old video!
Mayday mayday mayday
No we still want the farthest Airport please lol
Surprised they didn't ask to continue towards LAX.😊
No other airports closer that are suitable for them.
Thank you for adding comment about the outcome. Good to know planes land safely.
Good work. I had a friend on AC8780 (CYYZ to KDCA) on December 6th. The flight left Toronto leveled off at 10,000 and came back to Toronto to be met by fire trucks. Can you make a video of that flight?
He can only make a video of it after Vasaviation does it first
That was getting down to fumes
Why do emirates always seem to emergency fuel scenarios? Something ive noticed...
They take fuel for the destination and then an alternate. That’s probably more than they need to take. One or two missed approaches and they have to commit to destination, which might not be great if there are strong winds, for example.
Of course they have no fuel. Saving money.
Not sure how they ended up that tight on fuel, but their communications were extremely professional--impressive!
This is an old incident. I am under the impression they had unfavorable head winds for most of their journey then missed the approach at Seattle in suboptimal conditions there.
@@Sunset4Semaphores Same thought. Headwinds can be difficult and (I'm wiiling to be corrected on this) variable depending on which altitude the aircraft is assigned. Seemed like seamless coordination between pilots and ATC, the latter giving many choices for the pilots to work with. Good work all around.
14 hour flight over the artic with some significant headwinds. Seattle has quite a few options for secondary airports. Vancouver, Portland, Spokane, Moses Lake, Everett (Boeing HQ), Victoria. They probably circled a few times. I remember this day (living in the area), airport was shut down for about 6 hours and a bunch of flights circled for hour+.
2:20 We need souls on board and fuel. "FUEL? WE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT. DON'T YOU KNOW WHY WE DECLARED A MAYDAY?" Jeesh!
Standard procedures during an emergency.
Dude, it's required as standard protocol in case trucks need rolling
@@theypeedonmyrug DUDE I understand the need for souls on board count, but anyone well-versed in aviation (re: ATC & emergency personnel) should know the approximate amount of fuel left if the aircraft is diverting on a mayday low-on-fuel basis. What does it matter to 'the trucks' if it's off a few hundred pounds one way or the other? Are they going to send less or more equipment based on reported remaining fuel (which they know must be critically low)?
@@davidmontville4885 Anyone well-versed in aviation (ATC & emergency personnel) would know that it is standard protocol to ask that question.
@@janeryan2709 Most readers here know ziltch about aviation.
This is an old incident covered by others weeks ago.
If anyone is wondering: this was 6 years ago...
Vancouver it is - cant miss the bars even with low fuel !
Agreed that Canada's ATC is awesomely polite! 😁
The crew of EK229 did the right thing by not accepting a closer field in this specific situation -- it would have *added* to their workload, as well as have *increased* their time in the air. They were already set up to 08R at Vancouver, and were on the correct profile for the approach and landing. To set up for another field and approach, it would have required them to reprogram their FMC, brief the new approach and landing, and require delay vectors to descend to the correct altitude for the new approach. Awesome job by the flight crew!! 😎
There aren’t any other airports between Seattle and Vancouver that the flight could have diverted to. The pilots won’t have charts for the regional airports, nor facilities for ground handling, etc.
Handled professionally by both parties involved.
Imagine missing an approach or even two while at minimum fuel...
Seems very professional, accomodating and calm..what you need in this situarion
its illegal tu use final eserve fuel these pilots must be in trouble
Not illegal at all, just file a report so lessons can be learned
@@davidwarren202 No it really is a pilot should never use his final reserve fuel which is always set to 30 min of flying there will be a serious investigation about this because a pilot should never land himself in a situation like that
What? That is why they declared a Mayday. If you land with less than final reserve, it's a mayday.
Then go sue the wind that blew them off of two landing attempts.
I swear half of these comments are literal children.
I can't help but ask, if it's a mayday situation why not take the closest way out instead of continuing further? Most of us have ran low on fuel at 9ne time or another, and when you're that low you take the nearest station, right?
Different problem. Until they get close to the airport, they probably flying at over 300mph. They were offered airports on the order of 15 miles closer is maybe 3 minutes. They would have a significant amount of data to re-enter into the flight computers to execute a normal safe landing. Reprogramming for another airport would take a lot of time and would be a serious distraction from monitoring everything. There are probably other considerations such as having the proper equipment to service the airplane. If they had flamed out of fuel, then it might be a different subject. ATC was just making sure they knew of other option in case their fuel situation was more critical.
@@disphoto Excellent follow up to my question, thank you.
@@WORDversesWORLDalso pilots try to land at the most familiar airport if they can so they can know what to expect if the computers or other thing fails due to fuel starvation
@@anonymous9843 During normal procedures, in an emergency you stop regardless of where your at.
@@WORDversesWORLD Not necessarily - depends on the emergency. In this case, they were at reserve fuel (30 minutes) which is why they declared the mayday. Pilots must declare a mayday at this point, even if there is a difference between 30 minutes of fuel, 20 minutes, 15, 10, 5, etc.
If the pilots felt that they could make it to their destination within that 30 minute time frame (which they evidently did), then diverting would add to their workload, and also create complications for the flight crew, the airline, and the passengers. And, as the user you were responding to stated, pilots do prefer familiar airports (as well as preferring to stick to their original plan), even in emergencies.
Unless they were basically out of fuel (or had some other dire emergency), it made sense for the pilots to continue to the original destination.
