Flapless landings. Air Canada Rouge Airbus A320 declares PAN-PAN at Toronto. Real ATC
THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
12-APR-2024. An Air Canada Rouge Airbus A320 (A320), registration C-GFCH, performing flight ROU1662 / RV1662 from Toronto Pearson International Airport (Canada) to Fort Myers Southwest Florida International Airport, FL (USA) after departure from Toronto stopped climb at 7000, reported flight control issue and declared PAN-PAN. Later the crew reported flap control issue and informed that they had no flaps. The pilots requested runway 23 for landing and emergency trucks to meet them on the ground. After landing the airplane stopped on 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.

Can't help but notice that both and departure and arrival controllers don't immediately overload the pilot with questions, but gives him a chance to diagnose the issue and grants him maximum autonomy. Well done.

You fly in Canada much? We were the launch customer for the Bombardier CRJ, and the "locals" in Montreal referred to us as the "Sea Doo" when pointing out traffic. But never in English; it was always back and forth between the controllers and Air Canada in French. So professionalism? Eh, not so much.
I was onboard an Air Canada flapless landing flight in Halifax from Toronto about 10 years ago. The pilot made an announcement as we would be circleling to burn excess fuel for a shirt while. There was a lot of tension on the plane, but I was feeling calm. Literally, the moment the nose gear, the plane erupted in crazy cheering, and it was all I could do from yelling, "Not yet, you idiots!"
I love Canadian ATC.

Because it's Canada and not the US.
As you might expect, runway 05/23 is the longest at Pearson (11,120 ft or 3,390m)
Once I landed in Boston on a plane with no flaps. Pilot was cool and told us “we have a procedure for this.” Landing speed was higher than normal though I’m not sure I would have known. Emergency trucks on hand but we station the runway with no problems.
Tough day, likely Flap/Slat jam, so Flaps stuck near Zero (I think), gusty winds to 25 knots, but down the Rwy which helps with the faster airspeed on landing, and then 500 ft ceilings w/ mist and rain all while doing much higher than normal approach speeds. Well done.
These guys are very well trained and very professional,well done, this the way you do it, calm , cool and get the job done.
Now that’s how it’s done 👏👏👏
Spirit Airlines wishes that their *regular* landings were this calm and orderly....
So professional all the way around.
Bravo to crew and ground ! Your the best in the world 👍
Excellent job!
So professiona all round. Well done.
I had a similar experience on an Air Canada A320. Flaps failed to retract fully and became inop after takeoff. We bounced around in rough air at ~12,000 feet for 90 minutes or so, before returning to Vancouver for a (quasi) no-flaps landing. Our crew did great. The airline compensated each of us with a $10.00 meal voucher. 🙄
That controller was super confused when he was trying to figure what to tell Frontier for crossing instructions.
As we regular Air Canada customers like to say..... "Rouge'd again!"

The flap problem was detected on climb-out, and you normally aren't putting them down at that time -you're retracting them. I'm wondering if the flaps were stuck partially retracted. Normal take-off configuration is 1+F which is about 10 degrees. When the pilot said "No flaps" I wonder if he meant "No flap control" or maybe "We won't have normal landing flaps" The reason no-one was panicking is that this one of the least worrying of any inflight emergency, and one that you practice for even in your earliest days as student pilot. Slightly higher approach speed, slightly different picture out the front on approach. Used to love shooting flapless landings -they were often my smoothest ones.

If you have the same malfunction but during the approach, it is a completely different story. In departure you have all the time in the World. In approach you are down to minimum diversion fuel plus whatever extra, and it give less minutes of endurance due to the excess drag caused by the flaps. In departure you can relax and have a coffee while u discuss the QRH with your coleague!

Am I wrong thinking that the pilot should not say "sixteen" on the radio? That they should say "one-six" ("one-six-six-two" in this case)? Not sure what the procedure is, but there might be some confusion if another flight is "6062".
@PeterDrake
Ай бұрын
I think you're right, but there is probably less concern about confusion when they always introduce themselves as Rouge 16 62 when they talk to a new controller, and then once they've had some back and forth they shorten it to just 16 62.

@@PeterDrakeI’m a pilot, yes the official terminology is one-six but no one cares
The only thing I don't quite understand is why they didn't simpy ask for a hold over a fix somewhere in the vicinity, so that the controller does not have to think about keeping them in the area while they do their planning and calculations.

Kelsey (74 Gear) just did a video about that. "Mayday Aircraft Asked to Hold". His reasoning is that if the pilot is holding, it means a larger workload. Either because they have to reprogram their computers with the holding pattern or they have to be paying more attention to their surroundings and it's generally easier if the pilots can focus on what they need to be doing to get the plane back on the ground while just listening for ATC to chime in and tell them when and where to turn.
Flaps stuck, not on TV news, wrong brand. Same with smoke in cockpit return of AB, and many others.
@Quotenwagnerianer
Ай бұрын
Why should this be on the news? It's just a standard abnormal procedure not a live threatening emergency.
I'm super confused - maybe someone can help me explain. Presumably the flaps were extended for take off just fine. It was only when they were climbing/cruising did they notice that the flaps were non-responsive (stuck extended?). Why then did they note expecting a longer landing and not just land with extended flaps (as you'd normally do)?

A heavy fuel load would extend the landing.
@SuheMalqir

You usually take off 1+F (Slats + Flaps 1), but you usually lands Flaps 3 or Full. The less flaps you have, the faster you have to go to not stall, so landing Flaps one require you to land at a higher than usual speed, thus the longer landing.

In a situation where you’re dealing with domestic pilots and controllers, especially of the same native language, it would be easy to infer the meaning of this, being that it has followed fuel and souls. If the ATC’s had questions, they’d clarify. It’s not real clear, but easy to infer as at this point proper call-outs have been followed. If I were an ATC, I’d probably clarify to be 100%, but it worked out fine here.
Surprised you don't have to pay more for flaps at Air Canada.

Hi I’m Canadian. We all speak more clearly on the phone too. Why wouldn’t you, it’s just helpful. I have noticed the intonation becomes ever so slightly British when we do. Not the accent but the intonation of the sentences as a whole. 2 or 3 generations ago there were still a lot of British people in teaching. Now, there are lots of immigrants in school and you want your friends to understand you. Slowing down your speech and enunciating seems like a skill Americans don’t develop from childhood like we do. On the other hand they invent all the new and fun slang
