Well handled! But if you have 21000 souls on board, you might have bigger problems than your hydraulic system

This is a great example of the difference between using Pan and Mayday. What started as a small problem quickly became something far more serious, and so the pilots upgraded from a pan to a mayday to make the controllers aware.

I was working the ramp at dulles that night. Was wondering what happened to that american jet

I can remember as an air stewardess back in the early 80s over Portugal from England on a return Faro our hydraulics failed... walking onto the flight deck seeing the hydraulics red light on as we were warned an emergency declared the pilots saying dont worry we have a back up system which then immediately also started flashing red lol....but we made it and because of the delayed return even managed to get a couple of superb bottles of wine from the shops in duty free....those were the days 😅

FYI, the same thing happened with another A319 yesterday: UA442 was turned around en route from DEN to LGA, as the latter's runway would have been too short for a safe landing. Not sure which of the three systems failed, but only half of the brake flaps were extended when the plane landed at DEN.

Controllers talk to each other also. If they're changing emergency plane, they inform each other beforehand. Can't post link as I'm not gonna search for it again, but I heard different mayday plane (small one, single person, he had some problem with the stick they fly with), plane did mayday call, controller told him to change to different one, pilot did not answer for a long time after that, so they had no idea if he even changed it, therefore they had to say same info on both channels. I think the issue was just not turning it on properly after changing seats, but it is perfect example that they talk to each other. So it is said just in case, not to inform them.

Pilots are Studs in this instance... Calm under pressure.

something pilots should know: airlines don't care so much about your checklists - they're more interested in whether or not the airplane crashes or not!!! - if the hydraulics fail, that means land the plane asap. don't doddle.

KANE You obviously know nothing about airlines.... Check lists are there to make non normal flying safer... Hydraulic failure may result in a longer landing distance. .. There are check list for that ?? Which runway. You are obviously not a professional pilot. ..and never will be. ..... True????

@ThePhDSpanish

Жыл бұрын

The checklists are there to make the flying safer, especially in an emergency, which is one reason there are always at least two pilots (and hopefully, always will be). The checklists are designed with priorities in mind - the most important things are covered early on, and provide instruction on what to do in pretty much any conceivable event. If there was a step early on in that checklist that indicated that the problem was getting worse rather than remaining stable, then the checklist would just tell the pilots to go direct to the nearest safe landing area. Without these checklists, the pilots might inadvertently do something while flying that could make the plane unrecoverable - taking a turn too sharp, descending or ascending too steeply, flying to fast or slow, etc. with hydraulic failure, they were probably in level straight flight while they tested and tried to reset flight control and other vital systems before attempting to land or enter a populated area. There's no way a human could memorize all of that information, and there's still too much potential for a computer to either not realize there's an issue or to misidentify the root cause. The use of checklists in any complex process is widely adopted across multiple industries and leads to universally better outcomes.
