The professionalism and calm of the controllers and pilots always impresses me.

The "number of souls on board" question is always a bit chilling. I understand it's just SOP in any emergency situation, but it does add a certain gravity to the situation when the question is asked.

Some people have said, "if it's really an emergency, why not go to the closest airport?". I think in this case, Vancouver was probably the right call, even if we ignore the inconvenience of landing a 777 full of passengers in Victoria and focus purely on safety. They were no doubt high and fast at the time. They say the only thing a jet does quickly is cruise. It was going to take them a long time to get low and slow for landing wherever they went. A closer airport may not be practically closer if your speed and altitude are what's keeping you away, not the map distance. 30 minutes of fuel should be plenty to reach Vancouver. They would have been part way through the checklist to land there already. It's their alternate, so they know something about it and are well prepared for that landing already. They're in the right position to land there most easily. Vancouver is the biggest airport around there, with the longest runway and best emergency services. For many reasons, it's the place to land if you have the choice, and with 30 minutes of fuel they certainly did. In an emergency, a controller should offer options, which he did, but he's not in the cockpit, and often not even a pilot. He doesn't know their situation or what's best for them.

Did they need to declare an emergency? Maybe not, but I don't know their airline procedures. They may have been required to. Not declaring an emergency isn't necessarily doing the controllers any favours either. 30 minutes is not a lot of fuel in any plane, let alone a big jet. If they don't declare an emergency, but say they're low on fuel, now the controller has to deal with a lot of ambiguity. Declaring an emergency makes things very clear to everyone. The controller now knows exactly what to do. Mayday isn't a four letter word. It exists for a reason, and your wings don't have to fall off before you use it.

You are required to declare mayday fuel when calculations indicate than the landing will ocurr with less than 30 minutes of fuel remaining (at a fuel flow that corresponds to holding speed at 1500ft agl).

-Flying an airplane running on fumes while carrying 367 souls
-Still tells tower operator to have a good day
What a G

If the everyone’s mic would be as clear as these two, aviation would be a hell of a lot easier

[bronzerat]

I guess these are all the things the passengers never know about?  Scary stuff.

[salaheddin]

The emirates pilot was really planning a head when he asked for right down wind for another approach in case of missed approach 👍

[AAA]

The communication between the pilots and the Controllers was so amazing!
I also love how they always repeat the 'command' and the plane number "Emirates 229", of course it is to ensure no confusion occurs between the pilots and ATC, but it's so cool to see as an outsider.

[Matt-fqly]

Imagine the guy filling up the fuel tank afterwards lol probably like oh man they were pretty low

[samialnaji]

imagine all the things that happen in the cockpit while you’re probably in the back chilling, enjoying a movie and sipping apple martinis 🍸

Amazing professionalism and calm by both Control and the Emirates flight!

[rickysandhu]

I salute the professionalism in both the pilots and ATC crew. If I was a passenger and somehow aware of the situation I would have 10 less finger nails.

[platonicforms]

This is why standards in English language in aviation is necessary.

[MinMin-pckv]

For people that keep saying: "30mins fuel shouldn't be a mayday call but panpan" or "I think that 30mins fuel is not an emergency" You are wrong! Once you reach the reserve fuel which are the last 30mins of fuel... You ("have to") should declare emergency.

[FlaThunderstorm]

What amazes me is how pilots and co-pilots can communicate with various ATC Controllers having to remember and repeat all of the settings spoken, performing the functions the settings call for, yet still pay attention to the already difficult task of actually flying the plane. This does not even include the dizzying task of performing all of this when things go south and systems break down or shutdown. I wonder how many pilots are on edge most of the time even though I guess one gets used to these things in training and through experience.

Emirates pilots handled the emergency better than most other emergencies I've noticed

[ItachiAnime]

Ive fallen in love woth this channel. Never would have thought just listening would be so insightful

[neurospizz]

Perfect emergency landing. Calm and professional
