Thanks guys for the help.AVIONEWS - World Aeronautical Press Agency Related SecurityPlanes. Thank you we're going to stop right here by the, uhh, fire truck. Southwest 1380, right turn when you're able, you wanna stop wherever you need to assign. Southwest 1380 runway 27L cleared to land, wind 280 at 19. Southwest 1458 contact approach on 128.4. Okay climb-maintain 3000 heading 180, Southwest 1458. Southwest 1458 you can cancel your approach clearance and you should make a left turn heading on 180 and try to maintain 3000-the emergency needs to come in right now. We're going on 27L, switching tower, good day. Southwest 1380 you're cleared visual approach 27R contact the tower on 118.5 Southwest 1380 I'm sorry cleared visual approach 27L 27L and tower's on 18.5. So the airport is just off to your right report in sight please. Southwest 1380, it doesn't matter, we'll work it out there. I'm sorry-you said there's a hole and somebody went out? They said there's a hole and somebody went out. it's not on fire but part of it's missing. Are you- is your airplane physically on fire? Can anybody understand?īased on the following: passengers? Okay. There are a few sections at the end that I couldn't discern. Meanwhile, the engine was not only lost but also appears to be in such a state where it's going to be creating a very substantial amount of additional drag on the aircraft in a way that is just very far from normal. An airplane that I'm sure was not an easy one to fly in that "configuration" - not only did they lose pressure and an engine, but they also knew that they had damage to the aircraft structure, which they undoubtedly felt in the controls. They'd have had their O2 masks on, a TON of distraction going on in the cockpit, and meanwhile they need to (and did a great job of) stay focused on flying the airplane.

Hats off to the crew in my opinion for what was, by all accounts thus far, a textbook handling of a pretty ugly situation to find oneself in.
I think a request for no more frequency changes is not asking for very much, and I think it makes total sense given the situation - the crew wants to focus on their #1 priority, flying the aircraft, and I think that anything they can do to quickly & safely reduce crew workload in that situation is a very good thing to request.įrankly I think the crew did a very good job given the situation, if anything I thought ATC comms were maybe a bit verbose but generally I think all parties did a good job from what little we know at this juncture.
