I like it how ATC doesn’t start asking a gazillion questions immediately but initially just rogers the emergency.

Always proud to have very professional ATC in The Netherlands!

What absolutely superb ATC! Their declaration of an emergency (regardless of the choice of phraseology) was briefly acknowledged and they were immediately handed over to a discrete frequency. As an emergency aircraft, they were given continual uninterrupted communication with a dedicated controller, who coordinated with other controllers handling other aircraft on both approach and tower frequencies. Only when safely on the ground, having acknowledged no remaining problems, were they handed over to ground control. This is exemplary ATC handling of an emergency!!

Huge respect to the people to the pilots and the controller, one of the most professional and calm I have seen

That was the most relaxing engine out I have ever heard. My god was there even an emergency?? Pilots and ATC were just chillin.

Last answer from atc "Anytime". Gives me a super feeling! Happy Landings.

Professionalism from both sides. Well done to all concerned ✈️🛫🛬🛩

The use of a discrete frequency for the emergency aircraft gives very clear and uncluttered communications. I guess that things are better for all the other customers as well. (I wonder how many had a spare channel earwigging the discrete?)

I’ve seen a lot of interactions between emergency aircraft and atc but it still gives me the feel goods when I here the professionalism and calmness between them

I like how ATC first asked the pilots which direction they wanted to turn.... a great question to ask in this scenario.

Good ATC, he handled it well, gave the pilots what they needed and then stayed out of their way so they could safely get the plane on the ground.

[MrPuddinJones]

ATC earned a raise for his composure and handling. perfect execution

[tonyshield]

I've listened to Amsterdam several times and they always seem to have a plan for any type of event and the controllers switch to it straight away. Loitering near the ILS is sensible but not always done. Good work by all.

with all the terrible and unprofessional interactions that get publicity, I like that this one was textbook. well done to all.

[DUBaviator]

The discrete frequency to handle emergencies really make a big difference all round, great idea and superbly handled.

Well done to the professional ATCs at Amsterdam, and to the Delta pilots for keeping their cool. It's so amazing. They act like it's just a walk in the park when it's anything but. These are the kind of pilots I want flying my plane.

[irnbrukidsm]

Amsterdam controllers very professional

[jojosmith]

Another ATC, cool as a cucumber...these folks are just absolute gems.

[zeinnaja]

Man… your animation even shows the engine out! Love it!

[davidzachmeyer]

This is the first incident I've watched where the tower asked the aircrew which direction they preferred to turn. Seems like that should be standard practice when an engine failure is reported.
