"We Need To Land IMMEDIATELY"; Amazon Prime 767 Reduced to Single Electrical Source! [ATC audio]

Фильм және анимация

GET EARLY ACCESS TO VIDEOS ON PATREON: / airtrafficvisualised
May 26, 2022. An Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767-300ER(BCF) is operating an early-morning flight from Los Angeles to Seattle. As the aircraft climbs, the electrical generator connected to the right engine fails. The aircraft’s APU is inoperative, leaving the crew with a single source of electrical power - the left engine’s generator. They declare an emergency and turn around for an immediate landing in Los Angeles. Watch and listen as the pilots and air traffic control coordinate to get the aircraft back on the ground safely.

    On the 1983 day of my Private Pilot check-ride in a C-150, I left my check-ride airport as the sun was going over the horizon. I had a 40 minute flight from Rutherford County, NC airport back to my home base in Boone, NC. (at that time) an unlighted grass strip in the Appalachian Mountains. About halfway home I had a complete electrical failure... mind you now, I'm a rookie w/ a dripping wet PP license. I got back and the one street light at the tie-down corner of the airport was my only light. I held my flashlight in my mouth and kept it focused on the airspeed indicator, remembering that my flaps don't work, kept my speed up about 5 kts higher than usual and made an uneventful landing. I taxied back to tiedown, an some of the other plane owners were there and quizzed me about my landing lights and nav lights being out. I got a commendation from them all. 25 years later, it happened again in a Piper Archer (At least I had flaps) that I was ferrying back from maintenance at night. Now, as an Instructor, I "overemphasize" the importance of having a small flashlight at hand (not in a bag), and perhaps a portable navigator of some type if going to far reaching destinations. AND... when things go wrong... JUST FLY THE PLANE!!!

    I had this exact same thing happen. It’s not an “emergency” in the manner that most may think. Everything on the jet is working normally and there is no significant degradation of capability, unless the weather is very, very bad. If the last generator were to quit, that becomes a very significant problem, and most jets like this one (I drive this same jet) have less than 30 minutes to get on the ground. When it happened to me, I was over Memphis, during the FedEx busy time. There were no issues at all working in with traffic. Again, all a “precautionary landing”. Declaring an emergency does two major things. Alerts ATC there is an issue and special services are being requested. It gives the Captain legal authority to do what he needs to in order to get on the ground. For the crew, that approach and landing were as normal as all the others they have done.

    To be fair, does't the captain always have legal authority (and the responsibility) to ensure the safety of the aircraft and those aboard it? If ATC tells a non-emergency aircraft to do a barrel-roll the captain would most likely not attempt it despite not having declared an emergency :P

    "If the last generator were to quit, that becomes a very significant problem, and most jets like this one (I drive this same jet) have less than 30 minutes to get on the ground." I guess if this were to happen, it would be to completely turn off electrical power and glide as far as possible util the altitude is too low to be "safe" then use those ~30minutes left

I heard normal traffic every day but a few times I'd catch something unusual. I could also pick up ATC of planes talking to Oakland Center. One thing that stuck in my memory was that airline pilots would sometime be told to "Delete the Boulder (speed) restriction" and the pilots often confirmed with "Drop the rock" but it took me a while to understand the slang. Back in the seventies I was fortunate to be able to visit with controllers in Palo Alto, Salinas, Monterey, and El Cajon. I don't know if that's still possible.

    My concern in these incidents, where I understand ATC still want to get other planes in, but if one of the planes they’re squeezing in before the emergency aircraft has an issue on the runway, that runway is now no longer available to the emergency aircraft and god knows what problems that could cause in certain emergencies. Arguably in some emergencies the pilots could decide that if the aircraft ahead (which had no problems prior to landing) has had an issue at the end of the runway but is still on it, but they haven’t got an option to go around, that the best option is to go against ATC and land on that runway despite there being another aircraft on it at the end. Obviously this wouldn’t work if the other aircraft is well within the normal landing distances. But if you’ve got no engines, a fire or whatever, it’s better to get down and perhaps do a runway excursion to avoid the problem aircraft ahead or have a collision with it, than try go around and fall out of the sky. But again, brings back the Russian roulette of hoping all aircraft you squeeze in perfect their landings and don’t have any issues or delays on landing. Obviously in this case it wasn’t necessarily AS time critical as a fire/no engines (still urgent), and they could’ve gone around and likely found an alternative landing, but still seems risky. I would want to preserve that runway when the emergency aircraft is about to begin their approach. But again, they have to balance the logistics of the airport and getting other aircraft down and not having other emergencies in the way of emergency fuel being declared and so on. I think in the serious outcomes the ATC should just advise the wait is a minimum of x time based on how long it’ll take the emergency aircraft to get from wherever they are and until landing, and that aircraft can decide whether they can hold for that long or divert.

    @@ndbiet They did declare an emergency (mayday). Depending on the aircraft, complete electrical failure could leave them unable to control the aircraft and crash at worst, or unable to communicate at best. Granted, they still had 1 generator operational and there are batteries on aircraft as well, but those only last a few minutes if all generators fail. If a pilot declares an emergency ((assuming its legitimate)), ATC is supposed to give them priority, period. It could have gotten rather messy if that runway wasn't clear for the emergency aircraft when they landed.

    I know the APU isn't "necessary" for flying the airplane, and I seem to recall other incidents when a non-functioning APU proved to be a problem. It's like belt and suspenders, and if both straps of your suspenders fail, you really need that belt. I think I'd consider the APU a necessity.

    I'm always shocked at how many professional pilots do not use proper terminology when declaring an emergency. The FAA says: EMERGENCY DETERMINATIONS An emergency can be either a Distress or an Urgency condition as defined in the “Pilot/Controller Glossary.” A pilot who encounters a Distress condition should declare an emergency by beginning the initial communication with the word “Mayday,” preferably repeated three times. For an Urgency condition, the word “Pan‐Pan” should be used in the same manner. If the words “Mayday” or “Pan-Pan” are not used but you believe an emergency or an urgent situation exists, handle it as though it were an emergency.

    It's quite peculiar, American (that is the country, not the airline) crews seem very reticent to use the word "mayday", much preferring the nomenclature "we'd like to declare an emergency". Crews in other parts of the world (including similar Anglophone countries like the UK and Australia) exhibit no such reluctance - if you look at this video in Australia, the crew immediately declare a mayday: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6VlqcOHj5TIXZc.html I'd be interested to hear from pilots what they think the difference might be.

    Magu was below them 19000 feet. ATC would have had to vector them out quite a ways to give them time to descend, so Magu isn't really a more efficient airport to land at, not to mention its military airfield which isn't set up for commercial airliners and passengers. Generally pilots will opt for the large airport which has longer runways, company support and good fire and rescue. There are time and no-time emergencies. A fire would be a no-time emergency. You get it on the ground as soon as you can. This electrical problem was not a no-time emergency.

Was Mugu open? What was their CFR status? Why not just go back to LAX which has multiple runways, all the CFR, the pilots are familiar with it, and they have support there? This was the supremely logical decision.

    Well done FedEx crew, from a retired United pilot. Excellent job declaring an emergency. Many pilots just won’t do that. Very professional conduct. I flew the B-767-300 for 15 years. One dark and low IFR night I pushed back from the gate at Newark on my way to Istanbul, Turkey. After starting both engines, the right generator failed. Back at the gate I was told it would take several hours to change the generator but that it could be deferred because I could use the APU as a second generator. That meant flying across the North Atlantic at night on 2 generators. I refused to do that saying that if I lost the left engine, or the APU failed, I would be down to one generator and possibly one engine at night and 3 hours from land. I refused to take the airplane and the flight was canceled. Good captains play a game called “ What if?”, while bad ones play “ I hope not”. But I would have taken it on two generators as this FedEx crew did on a domestic flight. Well done again to these FedEx pilots!

There are 4 parallel runways eastbound and this pilot chose 6R, so the other traffic were kept on the other runways. Its not like he was coming in wing a wing blown off and flames shooting out of his engines!

I figured I would watch the clock and see how far apart they were upon landing. I figured maybe 15 minutes. It was about 3 to 4 minutes between landings - much closer than I expected! (Pretty impressive). The plane after the emergency plane was told to be ready to go around in case the plane had problems.
