“Our flaps are frozen”. British Airways A320 declared PAN-PAN after departure from Krakow. Real ATC

THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
25-AUG-2022. A British Airways Airbus A320 (A320), registration G-EUUW, performing flight BA873 / BAW8TK from Krakow Balice International Airport (Poland) to London Heathrow Airport (United Kingdom) after departure reported flaps problem (flaps were frozen), requested to hold in the area, declared PAN-PAN and decided to return to Krakow.

PART OF TEXT VERSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THAT I'M ABLE TO INCLUDE HERE. Do you want more? Write in comments and I'll give you remaining part of text communications (Read if subtitles in video were fast):
BAW8TK: Departure, Speedbird 8TK, 3900 feet, climbing 6000 feet, NUMBA 3F DEPARTURE.
APPROACH: Speedbird 8TK, Krakow Approach, dzień dobry (good day), identified, climb FL280.
BAW8TK: Speedbird 8TK, we’ve got a problem with ... our flaps are frozen at the moment. We'd like to maintain 6000 feet for the time being, please.
APPROACH: Speedbird 8TK, roger, climb and maintain 6000 feet altitude, QNH 1017 and report intentions.
BAW8TK: Climb and maintain 6000 feet, QNH 1017. We’ll call you back with intentions shortly, Speedbird 8TK.
BAW8TK: Departure, Speedbird 8TK, we have lost flaps and we need to maintain slow speed, roughly 160 knots. Is there a hold we could take up in your local area, please?
APPROACH: …provide you with holding. So just initially continue standard departure and maybe close to LIGDI will be a good point, that's maybe 15 miles north-west of the airport.
BAW8TK: Roger, we’ll continue the departure to LIGDI and take up hold at LIGDI, Speedbird 8TK.
APPROACH: Speedbird 8TK, hold over LIGDI with right turns at 6000 feet, QNH 1017. If you want closer to the airport, advise.
BAW8TK: Speedbird 8TK, we'll take up the hold at LIGDI at 6000, 1017, right hand turns.
BAW8TK: Krakow, Speedbird 8TK, we’re declaring an emergency with PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN. We have lost flaps. Taking up the hold at LIGDI. It’s going to take us about 20 minutes to make a decision whether to return to Krakow or divert to another airfield. We’ll advise.
APPROACH: Speedbird 8TK, Approach, roger, PAN-PAN.
APPROACH: Speedbird 8TK, Krakow Airport is behind you at 7 o’clock, 15 miles… track 140. And you have another airport, Katowice Airport, at your almost 12 o’clock, 20 miles. So you are in between two airports.
BAW8TK: Speedbird 8TK, thank you for that information, we are just working through some checklists. And we will be looking for landing distance that we require and we will also need engineering support. We’re just trying to decide which airport will be best for our return. And we will keep you updated, thank you, Speedbird 8TK, for the information.
APPROACH: Roger, in Katowice they have a lot longer runway.
BAW8TK: Thank you, Speedbird 8TK.
APPROACH: Speedbird 8TK, Approach.
BAW8TK: Go ahead, Speedbird 8TK.

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.

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.

Pan-pan correct choice for emergency declaration, controller offered alternative airport with landing distance available and metar for both. A pretty much textbook example of how to deal with an emergency.

    @@michal_PL Frozen flaps means that they are locked; this was probably due to the APPUs (Asymmetric positional pickup units) giving an asymmetric (or erroneous) reading, this will immediately/automatically apply brakes to the flight control shafts, this in turn stops any movement of the flaps for the remainder of the flight. There are many reasons why the APPUs could give erroneous reading, but the most likely is one of the sensors has failed and therefore the readings no longer match the other units. The APPUs are a fail safe system to prevent asymmetric flap positions. Excessive asymmetric flap positions would not be healthy for anybody onboard!

    Can anybody explain why the pilots decided to go back to Krakow? The plane was nearly equidistant from the two airports, and the controller suggested going to the other airport with the longer runway multiple times. I'm assuming the plane will be landing faster without flaps, and it sounded like the controller was concerned their runway wasn't long enough. I know the pilots have the final say in an emergency, but why didn't they go to the other airport?

Actually, the controller was incorrect about the landing distance at Katowice, it’s even longer! 3200m available on RW09. The 2880m is for RW27, the opposing direction, due to a displaced threshold. That said, the crew would absolutely have looked at the charts while in the hold, and would have known this. They clearly calculated that the landing distance at Krakow was still more than adequate and entirely safe.

    I’m absolutely an aviation novice but I can have a guess. During take off the flaps are extended to produce lift. So I assume as it was just after take off they were stuck extended, which would mean they were producing more drag which slows the aircraft down and why they also didn’t want to exceed 160 knots to risk something like stalling. So the plane would be landing with a slow speed anyway as it never got up to speed in the first place and on landing you also have flaps extended to create drag to slow the plane - which they were already configured to it sounds like.

    They have ‘lost’ flap control because the flaps are ‘locked’ in the takeoff position. The performance system BA used at the time tends to favour flaps 3 or F3 (A320) takeoff to give maximum payload. Thus when accelerating to retract the flaps and the flaps don’t retracted from F3 to F1 you must stop accelerating to prevent damage to the flaps. Hence 160kts (F3 limit speed is 175kts). F3 is also a valid landing flap setting so not an issue with landing distance requirements. We practice this in the simulator every few years. A320 captain

    As an interested observer / listener to these “incident “ exchanges between aircraft and ATC, my response to your question would be to be aware of the need to speak in a measured way ( ie leaning toward a slow pace). Seems to me that ATC at busy US fields often speak very fast, conversational language, readily accessible to American English speakers but sometimes a challenge to the non-American English speaker - though all credit to the professionalism of all the players, despite ratcheting technical tensions, everyone seems to get through OK...oh yes one other thing..the importance of “listening to what the crews are actually saying” . On occasions, when the same information is asked repeatedly of crews-in-stress, seems that in the moment listening skills are diminished...

    Notice how British Airways pilots are native English speakers. The do NOT speak like this outside of the cockpit. At all. British English does not normally sound like this. Not even close. They speak slower than usual and do not use a wide vocabulary. They use the bare minimum vocabulary. As in most of the world we watch eg. Hollywood movies and lots of random American series on Netflix, most people are more familiar with eg. the Valley Girl type of American accents and some nondescript American accent, more familiar than British accents at least. So I don't think it's a problem of the accent, it's just that Americal controllers tend to talk insanely fast and they tend to be more verbose than required. Stick to the basics, slow down a bit, and it's going to be fine. Oh and if the pilot doesn't understand wtf you're saying, don't repeat the same thing 3 times. Maybe repeat it once, but the third time rephrase it, use different words. If they didn't understand it twice, you probably used a word or expression that they just do not know. lol

    2 hours endurance means the aircraft can fly for a maximum of 2 hours more. Unless it is absolutely necessary, landing with less than 30 minutes fuel will attract the attention of the company's operational standards unit, and possibly the regulators at CAA (Civil Aviation Authority).

    I've known a few British pilots (actually, they were all English - as opposed to Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish). They ALL spoke in this kind of way as their 'normal' voice. This is a regionally unaccented English known as 'Received Pronunciation' which tends to be most commonly heard in south-east England. Since the 1970s, BBC presenters, anchors, newsreaders have been encouraged (or chosen for) RP. Of late, the BBC seems to be encouraging regional accents. Americans don't hear British regional accents? Yes, they do. Fiona Hill - British, now American - a USNSC adviser, darling of the Left and scourge of the Trump White House, made multiple Congressional hearing appearances in 2021 whilst strutting a florid but genteel 'Geordie' accent. That's the accent of north-eastern England around Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesborough and 'Tyneside'. Americans sure didn't know what that was.

We’ll take a holding pattern to panic a bit more, do something irrelevant then let y’all know when we’re bringing this badboy down.” VS English pilots: “I’m so very sorry to disturb you, but we have a minor situation with our flaps. They’re being a bit naughty.” ATC: *Questions intentions* English pilots: “We’d like a holding pattern that’s convenient for you, we’ll give all our buttons a press and if that doesn’t do the job we’ll discuss where we’d like to land.” ATC: *Vectors and offers helpful information* English pilots: That’s terribly useful old chum, thank you. We’ll just chat some more, we’re in no rush. ATC: *Does ATC stuff* English pilots: “Thank you for all your help. We’ll take your shortest runway - your standard - then we won’t be in the way of heavy and fully controllable aircraft needing those runways.” ATC: *Double checks they’re sure and grants request* English pilots: *Plane kisses the tarmac* Well that was a jolly good save.
