This is why we call it the “Pilot In Command” This happened in the same vicinity where the ill-fated Lear Jet hit the storm cell. JetBlue pilot en route from Fort Lauderdale to Austin says to ATC: “So you're gonna make us go through a, uh, severe thunderstorm?” The... captain then commanded the situation and overrode the ATC: “So we declare an emergency, making a left turn heading 260 for severe weather avoidance.” Sometimes piloting demands a specific set of traits - decisiveness, independent judgment, and the backbone to reject an instruction when it doesn’t feel right. Refusing the assigned heading showed exactly that kind of assertive leadership. Whoever is pilot monitoring must make these tough calls but ultimately, the captain is the final authority and ultimately accountable for every soul on board.show more

Correct; it’s always the pilot’s call. ATC cannot definitively determine weather, only advise. Pilots can refuse a heading and it’s not a big deal. ATC adjusts accordingly. This happens every single day.

You also expect the pilot handling the radios to read-back heading instructions. This 2P missed it, and they entered a right turn after being told "no further right than your current heading". They went into the heart of the cell, iced up, and crashed. If you have a task saturated flying pilot, the 2P is supposed to handle the outside comms, and bring them inside. She failed to do a basic readback. Hey, she had time to text her boyfriend at least.

ATC radar only shows precipitation, the pilot has a better overall picture of the severity. You can have 20 airplanes fly through a hole in the weather, ATC doesn’t know the route is no good anymore until a pilot says so.

I’m wondering if there is something wrong with ATC’s weather radar data down there in FL now too… ATC on Sundays incident directed the jet right into a rapidly building cell. When she asked clearer air, ATC responded he had plenty of clear air in his sector. This clip has another controller seeing “light precipitation in the area” but the pilot could see the severe storm cell… 🤔

Yesterday, a JetBlue Airbus A320 on flight B61971 from Fort Lauderdale to Austin rejected an assigned heading and declared an emergency. After ATC issued a heading that appeared to send the aircraft toward a severe thunderstorm, the crew pushed back: “So you're gonna make us go through a, uh, severe thunderstorm?” The captain then declared: “So we declare an emergency, making a left turn heading 260 for severe weather avoidance.”

Everyone commenting on the female pilot communicating with ATC needs to realize there are many situations that can cause panic, regardless of who the pilot is. The pilot in this video is okay and landed safely. This plane did not go down. The pilot here was flying VFR in IFR conditions and disorientation caused an uncontrolled spin. ATC reminded this pilot of stall recovery procedures and helped him recover and land safely. I don’t blame him for panicking. I’d be terrified, too. The Learjet pilots had a totally different situation, and looking at the totality of circumstances available at this time, it seems there was nothing anyone could do. Facing what could be your final moments while being able to communicate critical information and data to ATC regardless of inflection tone is tragically remarkable.

Anyone that’s ever done any amount of flying knows that if you see the Captain (pilot) it is a brief glimpse perhaps on the jetway or at the entrance near the cockpit, so the fact that the Captain had to be the one to ask him to turn his phone down tells me that wasn’t the first interaction on the subject and when the Captain asked him “do you want to go to Fort Lauderdale” and he didn’t make the flight suggest he just couldn’t keep his mouth shut. And of course it is RACISM😢

The Flydubai captain regained consciousness and told how the co-pilot attacked him An Indian pilot helped save more than 150 people aboard a Flydubai flight traveling from the UAE to Israel. Smith Matchhar is currently in a hospital in Abu Dhabi. He told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi how he managed to open the cockpit door. After the attack, he lay on the floor and felt that the plane was falling. Despite his severe injuries, the captain forced himself to get up and open the door from the inside. After that, passengers were able to enter the cockpit and neutralize the attacker. “I understood that the plane was falling. I fell to the floor. I told myself: the door is right there, just open it. I managed to do it, and people came in,” Matchhar said. After an emergency landing in Tabuk, the captain was taken to a hospital and then transferred to Abu Dhabi. According to The Telegraph, his condition is stable. The co-pilot, an Omani citizen, was also taken to hospital. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he was an Islamist and wanted to carry out a suicide attack. At this point, it remains unknown how the pilot managed to bring a knife on board.

Listen to the pilot’s final harrowing moments as she talks to the ATC. “Holy f*ck, we’re out of time…” The pilot reported moderate turbulence with some icing conditions. But the situation quickly goes bad after a minor climb and the aircraft quickly enters an uncontrolled steep dive. The cause of the crash is still unknown. The Learjet 60 business jet departed Austin, Texas and was heading towards the Bahamas but it lost controlled above Florida and crashed near Military Trail and Cresthaven Boulevard in Greenacres.

The 9/11 cockpit door almost killed 174 people a few hours ago. A flydubai co-pilot put a Tel Aviv jet into a dive after stabbing the captain. The passengers only survived because the wounded captain unlocked it himself. We built those doors so nobody from the cabin could force their way in, even to stop a pilot. And so, Lubitz locked the captain out in 2015 and flew 150 people into the Alps. EgyptAir 990 went down in 1999 after a pilot put it into the ocean and killed 217. On Mozambique’s LAM 470 in 2013, the captain locked his co-pilot out and killed 33. Europe pushed a two person cockpit rule after Germanwings, then walked it back in 2016 and left it to the airlines. 25 years sealing passengers out, and the plane still only survives if the good pilot can open the door.

A tense ATC recording is making rounds after a pilot forcefully rejected an assigned runway, warning air traffic control he would declare an emergency if unable to land on his preferred option. In the audio, the pilot states: “We can’t land on two two… if you don’t get us to runway three one right, we’re gonna declare emergency.” When the request wasn’t immediately approved, the crew followed through: “We’re declaring emergency. We’re going to land three one right.” repeating multiple times that the aircraft was now operating under emergency authority and instructing ATC to “remove everybody from our way.” ATC sought clarification before ultimately clearing the aircraft to land on Runway 31R, responding: “I just want to verify… I know you told me if you didn’t get 31 right, you would have to declare emergency.” What wasn’t obvious at first: • The aircraft had already gone around from Runway 22 • Crosswind components were about to exceed aircraft limits • Fuel state ruled out a diversion • The emergency was declared to secure a longer runway with less crosswind. 📹: Flight. Simulator.Fantasy Audio via LiveATC What’s your take? 👇

1/x When a pilot (dis)embarks, the ship has to "make a lee", meaning that she will turn and have one side of the ship sheltered from wind and swell. (leeward side). This will make it somewhat safer for the pilot.

NEW: Air Canada pilot dragged out of the cock pit by a flight attendant while suffering from a seizure, causing an emergency landing. Air Canada said Flight AC7664 was en route from Newark, New Jersey, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, when the pilot suffered an apparent seizure. The captain allegedly yanked the wheel, causing the aircraft to jolt sideways, alarming passengers. The flight attendant dragged the pilot out of the cockpit, and passengers held down the pilot, who was seizing, for about 40 minutes. The first officer took over as captain and safely diverted the plane to an emergency landing in Boston. Rodney McDonald, who was traveling with his wife and 2 sons, said, "It really felt like someone had jilted the controls, and then it happened over and over again. And, you know, every thought goes through your mind, you start praying. My boys instantly started praying."

This is what an engine failure looks like when a pilot is prepared for it. With the engine at idle, the H130 descends while its rotor blades keep spinning. The pilot carefully controls the descent, slows the helicopter just before reaching the ground and uses the remaining energy in the blades to make a safe landing. No engine power, no second attempt. Just skill, training and precise control all the way to the ground. This is exactly why pilots train for these situations. A full-down autorotation in an Airbus H130! 🚁

Every pilot needs to learn. Here is an approach with a 400m ULCS with a 2.3kts flood tide. The conning pilot is moving up in category to be able to pilot ULCS and is performing this maneuver under the supervision of 2 senior pilots. Conning pilot is not used to the mass and inertia of a ULCS, so underestimates the effect of the current running through and pushing him to the green side, almost swiping B85A with the stern. The maneuver is always under control, but the senior pilots advise the conning pilot to increase speed to avoid hitting B85a. As usual, there will be a debriefing and analysis of the maneuver. A good learning experience.

Absolutely wild footage, this is a real world engine failure in a MD500 (Think Magnum P.I. helicopter) over Kauai, Hawaii out on a tour flight. You’ll probably have to watch this a few times but the video starts out with the helicopter under power and then the engine sound goes silent. The beeping you hear is the engine-out audio beep to inform the pilot that engine power has been lost. This maneuver that pilot is doing is called a Autorotation and the way to think about helicopter flight, the engine is turning this big fan (rotor blades) on top of the body and sucking in air from the top and projecting it downward to overcome the force of gravity. When engine power is lost, you experience a reverse in airflow because now gravity takes over and the air flow is coming from the bottom of the main rotor disk. The only thing the pilot can really do is to make sure the rotors keep spinning by changing the pitch of the rotor blades through the use of the “collective” which is a lever next to the pilot’s left leg and it only moves up and down. The pilot has to manipulate the collective during an auto rotation to make sure the blades keep spinning. If the pilot pulls up too much on the collective, the rotor blades will bite too much of air causing a resistance and slow the rotors down. If the pilot doesn’t pull enough collective.. the blades will speed up and potentially cause a catastrophic failure. The other control the pilot has is called the cyclic. This cyclic sits between the pilots legs and and manipulates individual pitch of the rotor blades to tilt the rotor disk aka “big fan” and make the helicopter go forward, backwards, left, right. So essentially in this type of emergency, you have to manipulate the controls in a delicate balance because no matter what, gravity is taking you to the ground because the engine is no longer producing power. The pilot did an outstanding job here given the geography and limited amount of flat terrain to put the helicopter on the ground. Thankfully it sounds like no souls were lost and only one injury according to a news report (see the link below)👇 Of course there is a lot more to helicopter aerodynamics but I’m trying my best to put this in simpler to digest terms. Big thanks to Combat Learjet for sharing and definitely worth a follow!

So essentially in this type of emergency, you have to manipulate the controls in a delicate balance because no matter what, gravity is taking you to the ground because the engine is no longer producing power. The pilot did an outstanding job here given the geography and limited amount of flat terrain to put the helicopter on the ground. Thankfully it sounds like no souls were lost and only one injury according to a news report (see the link below)👇 Of course there is a lot more to helicopter aerodynamics but I’m trying my best to put this in simpler to digest terms. Big thanks to Combat Learjet for sharing and definitely worth a follow!

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call between a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 and two trucks on the taxiway at Los Angeles International Airport. "We just had two trucks just cut us off, we had to slam on the brakes not to hit 'em," the pilot is heard in the ATC audio detailing the incident on Wednesday night. The pilot told air traffic control the trucks crossed in front of the jet as they were taxiing at a slow speed. "It happened so fast, both of us were just like holy (expletive), and then we just slammed on the brakes. I might have to call the flight attendants to make sure everybody's alright in the back. It was real close. The closest I've ever seen." In a statement, Frontier Airlines said: "We are aware of the incident. No injuries were reported to passengers or crew. We thank our crew for their vigilance and professionalism." The incident comes just weeks after the Air Canada CRJ crash shortly after landing at New York City's LaGuardia Airport.
