This weekend Frontier Airlines Flt 1326 declared an emergency of "heavy smoke in the cockpit and cabin". Several minutes before the aircraft landed, radio and radar contact was lost with the aircraft (possibly related to the emergency situation). From touchdown, where the main gear tires are blown and catch fire (04:58), to end of the video, where FLT 1326 acknowledges they will wait for the air stairs to arrive (07:50), the elapsed time us just under three minutes. This again shows how fast aircraft emergencies air either successfully mitigated or can go wrong based on the decisions made by all players. In the attached video the following are communicating: - LAS TWR (Las Vegas Tower) - FFT 1326 (Emergency aircraft) - Red Dog 40/Rescue (Airport Fire Services) 04:58 aircraft lands with fire showing and TWR immediately gives permission to Red Dog 40 for fire crews to enter the runway at their discretion. 05:04 Red Dog 40 seems to want to communicate with TWR, but TWR cuts him off and repeats for fire crews to "proceed onto the runway, no need to acknowledge." 05:15 Red Dog 40 is trying to communicate with FLT 1326 as to "what's going on inside." TWR then notifies Red Dog 40 that FLT 1326 is unable to transmit. 05:36 FLT 1326 starts to communicate with TWR on an emergency frequency. FLT 1326 wants to know what the conditions are outside. 05:56 seconds TWR reports to FLT 1326 that their is a fire on the right engine, right side engine. 06:05 FLT 1326 reports they will evacuate on the runway. 06:10 TWR updates FLT 1326 that the fire is out. FLT 1326 replies they are going to evacuate. 06:32 FLT 1326 reports they are "shutting everything down and will evacuate on the runway." 06:35 Red Dog 40 reports to FLT 1326 that both "right mains are flat". 06:48 Red Dog 40 Updates FLT 1326 that "everything looks good from the outside; no smoke or fire. We don't have fire from our vantage point. We'll get airstairs and busses out here for your passengers." 07:08 FLT 1326 reports to TWR that there are "some guys" by the main cabin door. TWR says rescue wants them to evacuate. FLT 1326 responds they can't do that because the slides would "blow right into them". 07:35 Red Dog reports he is "going to get the trucks to retract." 07:42 Frontier 1326 asks as to whether Fire wants them to evacuate or use the air stairs that are on the way. Fire then confirms they do not want to "blow the slides" if not needed. 07:52 Frontier 1326 confirms they will wait for the air stairs to arrive then they will disarm the stairs and let everyone out. Under the stress and fast moving situation it looks like a pretty decent operation. The fires were immediately knocked down and once the situation was mitigated and understood between AFS and aircrew, the decision to slow things down and wait for the air stairs was made. Potential issue: - were fire crews originally too close to the main exit? https://lnkd.in/gQwqTjeN

Winter Flying is coming, how are you getting ready for the added challenges? Read about this accident overview to learn the best ways to face winter weather with your crew, thanks to Pilots Who Ask Why.

Several hundred liters of fuel were transported by taxis in canisters to the airplanes—a laborious and expensive endeavor. Yet, what choice did they have? Up here, at the edge of the world, the airports only stock Jet A-1 fuel.. Takeoff from Kirkenes International was as complicated as the landing: Special VFR, the formation disbanded by the controller, each pilot navigating the control zone solo to regroup over the sea to the north. This maneuver wasted 20 precious minutes of fuel, which might be needed later on—one can never be sure up here over the icy waters. The plan was to round the North Cape from the east, then fly onward to Hammerfest for refueling. This was their only option in this remote area, 550 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle over the ice sea. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could go wrong now! And so it was. Fate smiled on the Monkeys, and they reached the Cape, shrouded in a low-hanging cloud. It didn’t matter; glimpses of the North Capes' Globe structure could be seen through the mist. This globe, a steel sculpture representing the Earth with its meridians and parallels, was erected in 1978 and is the iconic symbol of the North Cape. The planes buzzed around the cliff like a swarm of wild bees, filming each other to ensure everyone was captured on video—an epic moment, as many pilots have failed in their attempt to reach the northernmost point of the world! Shortly after circling the Cape and setting a course slightly southward, the skies cleared. Upon landing in Hammerfest, the never-setting summer sun blazed into the cockpits—the Monkeys had made it, at least to this point, with a few liters of fuel remaining in the tanks! https://lnkd.in/en-PSUad

𝐂𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐲: 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝟕𝟑𝟕 𝐌𝐚𝐱 In what seems to be a week straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon, a United Airlines Boeing 737 Max had to turn back to Chicago O’Hare just 40 minutes after takeoff when it struck a coyote on the runway. The unfortunate encounter left the plane's nose gear damaged, forcing it into an emergency landing. The pilot described the coyote as “a pretty big animal,” which seems oddly appropriate for a plane model that’s been battling bad PR like it’s Road Runner dodging Wile E. Coyote’s ACME contraptions. Fortunately, the plane landed safely, passengers were unharmed, and after a four-hour inspection, the 737 Max was cleared for takeoff again. Because if there’s one thing the 737 Max is known for, it’s totally flawless safety records. While bird strikes are usually the main wildlife hazard for airlines, perhaps coyotes are diversifying their tactics. Is this revenge for decades of cartoons? A new predator in aviation wildlife incidents? Or just another chapter in the saga of Boeing’s problem child? Either way, it seems the 737 Max can’t catch a break—from bird strikes to government probes to now… coyotes.

Aircraft bird strikes, where birds collide with aircraft, are a significant concern for aviation safety worldwide. These incidents often occur during takeoff and landing when aircraft operate at lower altitudes. Bird strikes can cause serious damage to engines, windshields, and even structural parts, sometimes leading to emergency landings. One well-known case is the "Miracle on the Hudson" in 2009, where a bird strike forced a commercial plane to land in the Hudson River, showcasing the potential risks. Airports employ various wildlife management strategies, like habitat modification, bird dispersal techniques, and radar detection systems, to minimize such incidents. Advanced technologies are now being developed to predict and prevent bird strikes more effectively, enhancing overall flight safety and operational efficiency. As aviation continues to evolve, the industry's dedication to addressing bird strikes remains crucial to safeguarding both passengers and wildlife. #aviation #safety #birdstrike #aircraft #flight #innovation #aviationsafety

The Perils of Bird Strikes: A Close Call in Alaska 🇺🇸 A small bush plane departing from a remote area in Alaska to Anchorage encountered a dramatic and dangerous situation. Mark Schwantes, 48, was on board on September 26th, when the plane struck a flock of willow ptarmigan, Alaska’s state bird, during takeoff. The birds, unfortunately, did not take flight in time and were hit by one of the plane’s propellers, leaving the aircraft covered in blood splashes. Bird strikes pose a significant risk to aircraft, with the nature of the damage varying based on the size and type of the aircraft. For small, propeller-driven planes like the one Mark was on, the hazardous effects often include structural damage such as penetration of the flight deck windscreen or damage to control surfaces and the empennage. These impacts can severely compromise the safety of the flight. In contrast, larger jet-engined aircraft face different challenges. The most hazardous effects for these planes typically involve engine ingestion, where birds are sucked into the engines. This can lead to partial or complete loss of control, especially if multiple engines are affected. Additionally, bird strikes can impact the Pitot Static System air intakes, causing erroneous instrument readings and further complicating the situation. During critical phases of flight, such as takeoff, even a single engine failure or significant power loss can be catastrophic, particularly for aircraft not certified to ‘Performance A’ standards. While bird ingestion into engines is relatively infrequent, it can occur when a plane encounters a large flock of medium-sized birds or a smaller number of very large ones. This incident highlights the ongoing risks that bird strikes pose to aviation safety and underscores the importance of continued vigilance and mitigation efforts to protect both aircraft and wildlife. The team at Space Intel is dedicated to mitigating the risks associated with bird strikes and space objects re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
