For those wondering (like I was) GRID MORA = GRID MINIMUM OFF ROUTE ALTITUDE VALUES. It's an altitude that provides clearance of terrain and man-made structures within a section of a chart or database defined by latitude and longitude lines.

Well, once a PAN-PAN is declared, you become the center of attention, once MAYDAY is declared, it's your universe and you're priority #1 and rightfully so. Just listened to another instance, where the copilot had a heart attack and was already given a shock, but remained in dire condition. Bad enough that approach was announced by the pilot to be high speed approach, normal speed landing. Both, serious code brown moments!

Wow you can hear that the quick and calm response of the air traffic controller sure helped to calm down the pilot almost immediately. He did his job perfectly. Asked the right questions and had the right answers. Well done.

This is one of the times when ATC do not get the praise they deserve. Especially Canberra which is principally a military (RAAF) base. The overall work by the ATC was nothing short of brilliant and to the very essence of the book. Their discipline, tone, speed of delivery, the whole 9 yards was beyond reproach. Thank you ATC.

MORA = Minimum off route altitude, provides 2000ft clearance in mountainous terrain and 1000ft otherwise within 10nm off of the airway. GRID MORA = Minimum off route altitude within chart grid lines (lat+long) that provides 1000ft obstacle clearance (man made obstacles or not) below or at 5000ft and 2000ft clearance at or above 5001ft. It is mostly used when you have to perform emergency descents and it is not possible to remain on the airway.

This is my home town now and I live just near this airport. The tower is on the RAAF 34 Squadron side of the runway where the government VIP aircraft are stationed. I was a RAAF maintenance engineer there in the '80s. The other side is the civilian side where this aircraft would ordinarily have parked. The Canberra Approach controller (second last, super clear one) is at a radar screen in Melbourne; about 600km away.

I know that aircraft. I used to work for Qantas freight at Brisbane airport and loaded/unloaded her hundreds of times. Good to know they got down safely.

I think the casualness was intentional. The Captain's voice reveals how much stress he's feeling, a number of times. So they went out of their way to make him feel like it was nothing out of the ordinary.. sort of a 'relax, mate.. we got this, and we've got your back. This is familiar ground, for us', kind of an attitude. And it worked. The tension in his voice fades away, as he comes to realise he doesn't need to worry any more.

@@Garryck-1 Just to add.. It’s helpful that commercial pilots and ATC (unrelated, but flight attendants as well) are all trained in stress management/reduction. For pilots, this also falls in line with the heavy CRM training they receive which doesn’t allow for much time to think about the severity beyond the safe operating/landing conditions. Of course though, if one link in that stress management chain fails, that could increase stress/emotions a bit further everywhere else. Captain Sully (of the US Airways Flight 1549 water ditching) spoke about the importance of this factor at length during several post-crash interviews. Unrelated Bonus Information: CRM alone is such an important factor that pilots will often be required to repeat failed training sessions until they can show mastery or a mostly high competency. Otherwise, they may be banned from becoming a part of any cockpit crew entirely (especially in countries that maintain a Pilot Record Database or PRD). With a PRD, pilots can no longer hide/lie/omit past training failures on their resumes as instructors are required by law to log test failures (along with airman/medical certs, legal actions, any accident/incident history summaries, and employment history). It’s important to note that this only became implemented in the US in late 2021 and only requires adding Notices of Disapproval published from 2010 and onward. It’s hopeful that all countries will implement such a system, thus allowing for worldwide air worthiness tracking capabilities. All of this to say that in a few decades, it’s likely any pilots who cannot effectively handle stress/perform good CRM (Atlas Air Flight 3591 for example) won’t be allowed to pilot commercial airplanes (passenger or cargo).

Super excellent video. Graphics really made a difference. Thank you for posting

Well done, Captain! He remained calm, clearly asserted his situation and needs to ATC, and didn’t hesitate to use all of the resources available at his disposal. True professionalism and airmanship!

A very cool, coordinated effort by all in landing the aircraft.

The wing overheat was probably a leak on the bleed air piping and consequent loss of cabin pressure. Usually one should close the bleed air valve for the corresponding engine, but if the leak is upstream from the valve, pressure leaks away. Correct me if im wrong in understanding this

complete hero's aviation is so awesome

It was not over reaction he was unconscious a long time.

Great teamwork!

Because the majority of airspace in Australia below 10000ft is OCTA, there was a need to confirm LSALT, but as the aircraft was outside controlled airspace, could have tracked direct to Canberra. Strange the centre controller didn't advise him of this.

I don't know if it bothers anyone else, but it bugs me so much that one can get in the habit of trailing off the annunciation of their words towards the end of their sentence, such as the case of the first air traffic controller. By the end of his sentences, it's pretty indeterminable.

Great professional work by all involved.
