Great professionalism by all. Obviously the pilot's realised that they were starting to suffer the effects of hypoxia at altitude. I was aircrew within the British military (helicopters). Not part of my specific training but we took part in simulation altitude chamber(what fast jet pilots do). We were taken to the eqvailant of 25000feet and taken off masked oxygen as part of the test. We were given simple dexterity tests to do which became harder the longer we were off masked oxygen. Then after approximately 40-50secs I just felt my vision become tunnel like and became darker. I managed to put my own oxygen mask back on before I passed out, I'll never forget that feeling. These guys are obviously trained to recognise the signs of hypoxia and take immediate action.

Some of the students are on drugs and this is out in the country. I used to work in hospitals. We have plenty of nurses but support personnel are skimped on to make up so the man in charge of the hospital gets bonuses for saving on the hire expenses. I would have to pull double shifts.

I love this part of the conversation between the tower and the captain: - "YSCB TWR: If you're familiar with Canberra and the parking, we're going to put you over this side facing the tower so it will be DELTA right or FOXTROT, whichever one you end up with. " - "QFA7335: Let's make sure I land and then I'll take your instructions from there. I can see a lot of emergency lights, I gather it's on the right hand side to me." This is shows a great priority of task handling. He probably felt he wanted to concentrate on the landing and dumped tasks that could wait until all wheels was on the ground. Great job! This should be needless to say, but this is not meant as criticism to the work that was done in by the tower, they did a great job and was 100% focused on helping the captain as much as possible. It was just great to hear how he prioritised landing the air plane and dumped job tasks that could wait likely because he felt he had a lot to do siting there alone with his first officer sick and an airplane that had already failed once and at that moment he didn't know why. The whole conversation between ATC, Tower and the captain was text book as far as I can tell. It's really reassuring to hear such professionalism. Great job everyone!

If you're in a position where handling an emergency is an expectation (I'm a critical care doc, for example), you quickly realize that the only solution relies, in part, in not getting excited. Getting stressed out leads to mistakes and oversights, and that's going to lead to bad outcomes. It's like United 232's crew joking before they landed. Sometimes that's the only thing you can do... and it's seriously better than losing control.

I like the way on final the ATC is babbling about taxiing and parking, and the pilot just says, "Um, how 'bout I land this thing and then we can talk about that stuff."

This is particularly interesting as they descend outside controlled airspace, where ATC is not able to issue heading and altitude clearances, only advice and traffic information, until they re-enter controlled airspace nearer to Canberra due to Canberra controlled airspace remaining open beyond its scheduled closing time due to this emergency.

I am in awe of the calmness of the pilot in reporting a mayday situation and his ensuing actions. You could hear him breathing through his oxygen mask as he spoke. Kudos to him and the ATC who helped him land safely. God bless them.

Whenever I hear a pilot say "Pan" I shake my head hoping for a quick fix, when I hear a pilot say "Mayday" my heart reaches straight out of my chest to them. I'm sure I'm not alone on that.

Julie Элизабет Mayday is a bastardization of M’aidez, the French for “I need help” and that’s exactly what the pilot got from ATC and Ground when this pilot decided/realized he couldn’t handle the Panpan on his own, probably strictly from a workload perspective. Pilots train relentlessly and have to requalify semi-annually, along with maintaining their medical at the same interval so they’re physically and mentally prepared and able to do exactly this. This incident is a shining example of how the system is supposed to work - a perfect outcome. And all for the one FO: hundreds of lives disrupted, plans ruined, money lost. More people should see this, and think on it.

That I'm sure is from where you grew up. If you were living somewhere overseas, you may have the opposite reaction. Pan, pan, pan would get your heart racing, and maybe mayday as that's more well known for both aviation and nautical. I'd be willing to bet that the mayday for aircraft came from nautical use.

That pan went to a mayday real quick! very professional, and thankfully everyone made it out safely.

Hats off to this guy for having the balls to request a right hand turn before capturing the localizer. Fucking brilliant move. Well played all around!

I hope they all got together afterwards for couple of stiff ones. This is a brilliant example of human interaction and cooperation at its best.

What an absolute ripper to listen to. This is edge of the seat stuff. Awesome work by everybody.

Only began watching these several months ago, figured might be a good way to get over fear of flying. Really impressed with the teamwork and professionalism.

This is why you have more than 1 pilot in the cockpit.

I LOVED flying Qantas. What a nice airline. I went from LAX to MEL and it was lovely. I had a whole row of 747-400 seats to myself. Got on my PJ's and went to sleep, Woke up for a bit over Hawaii and then went back to bed. It was awesome.

Damn, that was some of the most professional handling of an emergency I have ever heard! Damn good all around! Impressive to listen to, in real time! Very good coordination from everyone on the ground to get the Captian any and everything he need to get safely to the ground! Cheers all around!

These are great training videos, it's just incredibly how quickly people can become hypoxic, and it always hits people in different ways and speeds. The slowing and slurring of speech, deeper voice, etc - even though he was on oxygen, it was pretty scary to hear all the classic signs of hypoxia. Considering how fast he got down to 10k and that he was on oxygen, I'm a bit surprised how out of it he was.

Caught this live on the night, only have a shitty pre-paid phone but went down to the airfield. The fence is right alongside the road and as long as you are 3 metres from the fence line and not using ladders to get a better view you can sit on just about all points of the runway from both ends, and down the eastern boundary. The best spot is the southern end where there is a huge jet blast deflector protecting the road not 10 metres from that end. Across from there is a farm gate and turning area for trucks so you sit there and they right over the top of you as they land or take off. I watched this one from side on about 100 metres down from the threshold and where the plane touched ground. Had live atc on the phone app. Pretty exciting for sleepy old Canberra.

He was incapacitated earlier in the flight, but at that point the FO was fine. They then both had issues but FO had it worse. Conscious but out of it. It looked like hypoxia, but it was actually hypervetalation from the stress

Love how professional and pragmatic all the crew involved, from the ATC to the pilot. Kudos. This is the level of professionalism that everyone should strive for

Aussies ATC (and the Captain of the flight, of course) are very professional Very good job!

Legend says that he still didn't answer whether they have dangerous cargoes onboard...

Brilliant! We all take so much for granted, BRAVO ZULU to the pilot, and the ATC folks. Cool, calm and collected, total professionalism!

"Any unusual smells?" "Have you got any bees about your person? Any bees?" "You got any mud about your person? No mud? A'right"

Well flown and commanded by this captain in a demanding situation. And great work from ATC in assisting him where required. Hats off to both.

Back in the early 90's, my F/O came onboard and said that he wasn't feeling well and thought maybe he should advise the Dispatcher of his issue, but he decided to go anyway. We were in the air for maybe about a half hour when he rushed to the lavatory. It turned out that he had the stomach flu and spent the entire four hour flight in the lavatory. No emergency, but I did alert the ATC's along the way that I was alone on the flight deck. When he came back to the cockpit just before landing, he was white as a sheet, so I had an ambulance standing by. He was an older gentleman and he really worried me.

Professionalism and concerned ATC, glad it all got to the ground safe...!!

From the atsb website The ATSB is investigating an depressurisation and crew incapacitation involving a B737, VH-XMO, near Narrandera NSW, 15 August 2018. During cruise, the crew of the cargo flight received a wing body overheat warning resulting in a reduction of cabin pressure. The crew donned oxygen and descended to 20,000 ft. The First Officer was subsequently incapacitated and the Captain descended to 8,000 ft and diverted the aircraft to Canberra. As part of the investigation, the ATSB will collect and examine information from the aircraft’s flight data recorders and interview maintenance and flight crew. A final report will be released at the end of the investigation. Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify those affected and seek safety action to address the issue.

An old post I realise, but your comment about their being a wing body overheat and this caused the depressurisation does this mean that they had a possible fire happening and the plane depressurises to reduce available oxygen for the fire?

Great job Captain, and super support from Canberra ATC. Well done chaps!

Always happy to hear a professionally handled emergency with a happy outcome. Well done all.

Great added graphics and side comments, well done!

Interesting one. Well flown Capt, and hope the FO recovers fully.

I never thought an ATC radar display could be such a riveting watch.

I feel the anxiety here. We can hear it in the pilot's voice when he issues the PAN-PANs, then the MAYDAYs. Alone, his FO incapacitated, himself shaken up by the incident & possibly the shock of some level of oxygen deprivation (not easy to focus, then). He had a superb response, IMO. The YSCB TWR "we've probably over-reacted" may refer to the response on the ground (hopefully). In flight, this is a f.g real Emergency. Well done. Then again... Qantas :)

I really like the way the controllers all immediately confirmed that they knew about the Mayday condition on initial contact with the aircraft. That way the pilot immediately knew that it wasn't missed in the handoff. I assume that's standard procedure in Australia but IMHO it should be standard procedure elsewhere also.

Thanks for all the amazing content! I always look forward to your uploads! Cheers

I beleive all the staff who were involved to bring this airplane safely on the ground (such as the ATC staff the captain ) deserve kudos Good job Captain
