Too bad passengers have a hard time understanding why weight & balance is a critical issue and could even be the reason why their bag didn’t get put on the plane.

[@IrishDave]

Can we all appreciated just how amazing these aircraft are that with full weight, they’re still able to climb using only one engine. Great job by the pilots too.

[@grafspeem9402]

They are designed to do it, not only climb but they can take off with single engine in case when engine fails when plane is still on the ground but there is not enough airstrip to stop the plane.

[@JTV84]

MTOW is 187 tons. that is a lot of weight for one engine to climb away with.

[@GRequinBlanc]

Not climbing

It’s probably one of the most simulator practiced emergencies. Without that single engine performance, they would never get an airworthiness certificate.

The difference is that the pilots know the aircraft can climb on one engine absolutely fine so they remain calm. Passengers panic not knowing the facts. Still absolute respect to them!

[@iain8837]

They did a good job but there was no standard phraseology in there. No Mayday, no Pan Pan…they started calling themselves emergency aircraft which is not how they are trained.

[@onebravotango]

I agree that the crew's response was commendable in handling the emergency situation. While they did a good job, it's also important to note that standard phraseology can play a crucial role in ensuring effective communication during such incidents. .@@iain8837

[@Porsche4life]

@@iain8837that’s not how that works. It’s only mayday when everything isn’t working and you are likely to crach. There’s a difference between sqauking 7700 vs 7600

[@iain8837]

@@Porsche4life That’s exactly how it works! Mayday Mayday Mayday is a way of telling everyone, ATC, other pilots etc that you aren now an emergency aircraft, the airport closes to all other aircraft and you are priority. It’s 3 short words. It’s not that you will likely crash!! Pan Pan Pan would probably be the best call here. Changing your phraseology to we are now an “emergency aircraft” doesn’t tell anybody much, and it would fail you the check ride every 6 months.

I don't know about the 767. But on some aircraft. When an engine goes out, the fadec automatically increases the maximum thrust available on the good engine.

[@maartendeen8404]

Can we also appreciate not letting Air France depart after the incident, because when they have an incident on the runway, there are real problems. Deal with one problem before letting a potential next one develop.

[@RoyalMela]

And the previous plane might have left some objects on the runway so the risk of incident is of course higher.

[@lajosszel]

Amazing footage. It must have been panic among passengers, this is actually the only moment when I'm nervous during flight - will we have enough thrust to get safe heights/speeds? This looks like a very early explosion but I guess one engine was enough to finish the job.

[@essel23fly]

Why did they shut down both engines on the runway?

[@memirandawong]

I remember landing in San Francisco. The plane exited the runway but stopped on a taxiway with the pilot announcing that smoke was observed coming from the wheel well of the landing gear and that we were staying put until the emergency crews were finished. It is a bit unnerving to be suddenly surrounded by a bunch of fire trucks and other equipment (all with lights flashing) whilst you set and watch out the window trapped inside..

[@SB-cz9vo]

The reason for staying in your seat is that in the event of a fire on brake/gear, the safest place for passengers and crew is inside the aircraft. If they use the slides, 5-10% of the people will suffer some degree of injury. Just relax and film the trucks outside or read a book while you wait. That sort of occurrence is just a bureaucrat's dream, but apart from that it is nothing special, unless you are a media reporter. Than it is a situation of emergency, fire, panic, tarmac and all the other bs phrases they throw around. I still wonder what a tarmac is at an airport to this day.

[@falconeaterf15]

Does the 67 do fuel dumping in this situation or is it not equipped or even necessary?

[@prorobo]

@@falconeaterf15 the 767 does have fuel jettison. An engine fire or failure generally doesn’t constitute a need to dump fuel as prescribed by the QRH. It takes approximately 30 minutes to dump fuel if the center tanks are full and it only dumps from the center tanks.

[@TestrunRX7]

I love the comments from the armchair quarter backs. It is ok to give credit to the crew. Regardless of if they train for it or not, NO ONE knows how they will handle themselves in an emergency. The crew did an exceptional job. You may do it over and over in the sim, but this is real life. As for the comment regarding the USA and their "non standard" terminology in the emergency, I am sure you would be spot on buddy lol. You can tell the guy is a bit nervous on the com. He is a smart guy. He knows it is a serious situation.

Ive lost two engines on separate occasions. One in a light WW2 era aircraft. The other in a helicopter. Pilots train for it. But it always comes as a shock when it actually happens.

Not an experience I want again.

for a while I wondered if it was going to be a bird strike. also impressed with Air France understanding the situation and suggesting they clear the runway. It would be tempting to go for the take off in the interim, but if there was a second emergency it would get messy.

[@timmellin2815]

I was thinking the same thing. Did the plane instinctively delay his takeoff roll when he saw what the issue was, or was he instructed by ATC to wait, or is it autoomatic pilot protocol to hold off, when something like this happens ?

[@timmellin2815]

I figured the pilot would just turn around and then land on the same runway, but in the opposite direction; wouldn't that have been the quicker thing to do ?

Although I very much enjoy flying on the 767 and know it is easy for me to state that Delta is way overdue in disposing of its B-767 fleet, these planes are ancient with an average age of 27 years in service, only 7 months ago an almost exact scenario took place with a Delta 767 in Orlando Florida. Delta's original plan was to start phasing them out by 2025 but then decided to keep them for the foreseeable future while it awaits the arrival of newer aircraft on order.

Excellent job by the delta pilots. I notice crops being cut on the right hand side. This usually brings in more bird activity, could of very well been a large bird strike.

If that was an immidiate departure for example,before a landing traffic,would you instruct the landing traffic to go around since the departing delta declared an emergency,or would you let the landing traffic land hoping it won't block the rwy?

as our house is in one of the approach patterns I happened to open flightradr24 around the same time of this incident, what I noticed was UAE5DC (B777) was performing some strange flight path, then it settled into holding pattern, eventually that flight instead of PRG ended up diverted to Dresden, also VLG88HA (A321) from Paris to Praha was in a different holding pattern but that was allowed to land eventually. even sent screen shots to my daughter expressing something has happened at PRG, wasn't until evening news that we saw the video just shown.
