The quality of this presentation "forced" me to subscribe. The flight crew, and ATC, produced an almost 'divine' cooperation between each other. The apparent 'knowledge of aircraft's systems, navigation, and landing procedures - which needed to be utilized I was an industrial engineer for Boeing, charged with avionics support, during the design, implementation, roll-out, and post delivery (first 100 deliveries) phases of the 777; for these reasons, I know the 777's avionics systems fairly well. With that said, today, and through this video, I've gotten my 'long awaited' confirmation, that the build process, and operational manuals, spelled-out procedures which were 'easily understood', and allowed the flight crew to execute/apply, and transform those written procedures into the physical operation of the aircraft. FOR MYSELF, AND OTHERS, WE'VE RECEIVED THE "SPIRITUAL" PAYOUT - SOME TWENTY FIVE YEARS POST INCEPTION.

[@joedilalla3940]

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to that tape. I was a Center controller for 23 years, retired for over ten years. Listening to the professionalism between the pilot and ATC brought me back to control room in my mind and reminds me of what a great career I had the pleasure to be a part of.

[@ayaan9646]

Joe DiLalla i’m glad you’re happy with your career path

[@slartybarfastb3648]

Do you think an emergency should have been declared? It seems a good deal of fuel could have been saved. A PAN call may have made the controller fully aware of the gravity of the situation sooner. This started to remind me of the Avianca crash. I'm not concerned about the dollar of fuel saved, but fuel saving in terms of remaining options

[@joedilalla3940]

@@slartybarfastb3648 Hi, As far as I can tell from the audio, they had about 15000 Lbs of fuel left. I'm not a pilot so I cannot translate how fuel critical he was. The weather was improving fairly quickly at his first alternate, EWR. The controller gave the pilot all his options. In this case, if the pilot didn't declare a minimum fuel emergency, the controller wouldn't either. I hope that helps answer your question.

[@JohnDoe-ks6is]

Given the choice between great service and terrible pilots or terrible service but great pilots I'd choose the airline with great pilots. I want to arrive safely.

[@uk7153]

mo kadir ILS is used in most airports for landing which is an automated landing system which relies on multiple instruments to keep it on course. Since they had those specific guidance instruments fail, they had to do an alternate VNAV approach (which all pilots are trained well for) but the only issue with that was, there was a low ceiling of cloud cover, so they could not do a long approach in such a low ceiling as it requires visual confirmation of airway on approach, otherwise landing has to be aborted and a go around is done as per procedure.

[@ronsta11]

Hey it is not about Air India flying like one of the state transport buses. These things happen to almost every airline. And generally pilots are trained for such emergencies. My point here is despite the negativity at their workplace, zero goodwill and acceptance of the company these pilots work for, they display exceptional skill by remaining calm when almost all of the systems they need to rely on for a safe landing packed up. As far as I know, all airplanes are maintained to a certain level, especially the critical instruments inside the cockpit. Saving Air India is something I still wonder how they would plan it in the midst of bureaucracy, political influence and everything under the sun you could think of that could stop something happening in India. It is better they shut down the company and sell it crap for scrap

[@bijunair2573]

These pilots and ATCs are amongst the best, we can be proud. No ILS, low fuel. RESPECT!

[@myname-in8sh]

Maybe its just me but i picked up a distinct change in tone in the pilot's voice when asked about the number of people onboard. Calm as he was, in that moment, the possibility of the plane being potentially in mortal peril seemed to cross his mind. And the next instant he was back to being chill and pro. Love the human spirit on display here against the backdrop of planes and aviation 👍

[@davidswelt]

Plenty of misinformation there. Autoland is not the same as flying a coupled approach (autopilot flying the, e.g., ILS). It's possible that their standard operating procedure mandates autoland or certain features for certain weather, but what they allude to is that they either lost the glideslope, at which point they would have reverted to a localizer-only approach (higher minimums), or, if you take literally what they said, they actually lost the localizer, which would indeed cause any correctly trained pilot to go missed. They're very clear that they could not fly an ILS approach (even CAT I). They ended up flying an approach to Newark with non-WAAS (not quite so precise) GPS (or generally, RNAV) equipment where they'd get nothing but an advisory glideslope and higher minimums, which is why they needed better weather. If this sounds complicated then that's because it is, and that's why training to fly in the instrument flight rules "system" (and becoming an ATP, let alone get a job to fly big iron across the ocean) takes much time, experience, and talent. These guys were very far from "not being able to hand-fly an approach", and they probably have been dealing safely with older navaids across India for years.

[@alexmollen9339]

[@_apey]

After doing some calculations, 7,200 kg of fuel translates to approximately 1hr of fuel for a Boeing 777. Thank goodness for the regulation that all flights carry enough fuel to make it not only to the destination, but also to the alternate airport and then some. Thank you for taking the time to put this audio together.

[@jckphotograph]

It's a great lesson for all pilots: ATC will always be doing their best to help when you need it most, but they cannot be expected to analyze the situation as the pilots can, being each and every aircraft has different systems, backup systems and capabilities. The take-away here is to tell ATC 1). What the problem is you are facing - the general nature of the emergency. 2)What you need to ensure the safety of the aircraft - ie. An RNAV/GPS approach. and 3) Your intentions. Thanks so much for posting this, and kudos to all involved in resolving the problems safely. It's not easy with 370 souls strapped to your back, at 300mph, in a 650,000lb aircraft that turns into a glider in the next 20min.

Bravery award ? For doing the basics of his job? For helping the plane he is sitting in the front of to land? A competance award from his pilots union or the company, sure. But it is not 'bravery' to save yourself. Sorry, not to denigrate his skills, but shouting hero at every pilot who lands a plane in an emergency is a pet peeve. Firemen who enter burning buildings are heroes, soldiers or police who sacrifice their own safety to protect others are heroes. Not pilots doing their job in a stressful situation.

He was asking for an airport that had a high cloud ceiling so he could see the runway on approach and fly the plane manually, not come through the cloud then find he didn't have time to make corrections and fly straight into the ground. I think the pilot was much calmer than I would have been, I would not want to keep repeating myself in that situation.

Thanks for nice video. Kudos to ATC and pilots to have solved the problem with cool and calm composure. Not sure if passengers were informed of the situation. How did you get this recording? Just curious.

Air India 101 approaching JFK on Sept 11, 2018, with multiple instrument failures! NIK NIKAM, MD. The dialog between the JKF control and AI101 pilot is one of the fainest examples of calmness, professionalism, and smartest humans minds at work, when AI101 was running low on fuel with 370 passengers on board. I would consider these brave men to be equal to God, if you believe in miracles! NNN Media

No sir, it is called training, training, training. And proficiency. Keep up your proficiency, it will become handy some day.

Any word on the ultimate cause of all those instrument failures?

[@mohammedshaik7113]

Superb job by AI pilots even ATC too but the higher risk is for pilots being in middle of the situation, the sad part is how all this will go unrecognized with Governments in India current past everyone has destroyed the image of national icon! salutes to our heros!

Too busy loud mouthing meaningless slogans. Indian leaders have adopted work less talk more approach since 1947

[@MrFaizalrahuman]

Great Job. Big salute to AI and ATC . They handle in nice way and successfully they made the landing. Excellent guys.

[@rishlife]

Commendable landing by the captain. If it was the USA he would have been felicitated by the authorities and even the president. Sadly in India this was barely covered by the press.

[@kmohan24]

Sorry he wasn't a film star, cricketer or a politician. He was just an awesome pilot doing his job. No TRP, no vote bank, who cares?

[@stevea1288]

Now that's how you solve a very serious problem!! Incredible

[@williambush7971]

I'd like to know the condition of the aircraft when it departed. I can't believe an aircraft with even minimum maint. can have that many things go wrong on one flight.

[@stargazer7644]

If you have a problem on a power bus you will have multiple failures like this.

[@bobkumar8754]

Proper pilots and very professional and courteous at all times.

[@jslasher1]

Fascinated by the professional demeanour and logistics of all concerned. Well done AI and JFK controllers.

[@ej2758]

Did I hear our friend Kennedy Steve from ATC? Awesome upload, incredible teamwork and situational management.

[@nickviyof284]

At Timer 13:11...Controller: Air India 101, is there anything else you need from me?Just the reassuring words you want to hear in a tough situation like this; to know someone out there has got your back!!! Good job all!

[@naknaksdadn572]

APU= auxiliary power unit. Very important when systems are failing and back up power is needed. Controller needs to learn what that means and is and what it does.

[@donatedpants420]

What makes you think they do not and what do you think ATC can do about it?

[@naknaksdadn572]

The controller stated that he did not know what it (APU) means. FO requested METARS for KSWF which is found on the ATIS frequency which the controller never provided. The ALT is at the discretion of the flight crew not the controller. This back and forth expended critical time with the aircraft heading away from KSWF and any potential vectors for an ILS or non precision/VFR approach to either runway 27 or 09. However, KEWR became a better option for ALT. Seconds are critical in these situations. Watch the video again please, you might catch it. ATC can possibly take a course to become better familiar with avionics and onboard operating systems. This will assist in understanding what it is that a very busy flight crew is trying to covey to him/her. Hope this helped.

[@donatedpants420]

@@naknaksdadn572 Yeah, listened again and that's a typo in the CC, the controller says (12:16) "I didn't understand that one, the last one" as in he could not understand what was said not that he didn't know what APU means. CC says "I didn't understand what the last one meant" but that is not what he said. I find it hard to believe that a controller working some of the busiest airspace around who is clearly well versed in the acronyms would not know what an APU is. I think you should listen again and remember that the controller is working several other aircraft, that audio is edited out, and that AI has not declared any sort of emergency. Yes seconds are critical but likely the reason AI never declare an emergency is they still had options fuel and airports wise. If anything the controller was very accommodating and AI was a tad slow in communicating just how much was wrong with the aircraft, an opinion not criticism. Also the lack of an APU is only rely concerning if they were to lose both engines and the RAT in which case I believe the Manuel reads "bend over, kiss your ass goodbye". Thanks for the polite response.

[@naknaksdadn572]

@@donatedpants420 Thanks for you pointing that out to me. i caught the [cc} myself. i was somewhat astonished to believe that the controller would not know what an APU is. Indeed an APU would used be if both engines failed. Than it would be "c ya". i am familiar with JFK controllers when i was flying private pilot in the NYC metro area. They are perhaps some of the finest in the world. Thank you for also being polite and professional. This is what should occur on these channels. Regards!
