In today’s video we’ll be talking about …
A Fedex Federal Express Boeing 757-200 freighter, registration N977FD performing flight FX-1376 from Chattanooga,TN to Memphis,TN (USA) with 3 crew, was climbing out of runway 20 when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet reporting a minor issue requiring them to work checklists. About 15 minutes later the crew indicated they needed to return to Chattanooga and needed some time to run the checklists, no emergency was declared. Another 5 minutes later the crew reported they still needed time to bring the flaps down, then they would be ready for an approach. The crew reported ready for the approach another 4 minutes later and commenced the approach, advising they were having flight control issues but no assistance was needed. While on approach the crew requested to abort the approach advising they now had an unsafe gear indication. The crew subsequently indicated that after landing they would not be able to vacate the runway, they were able to lower their landing gear, and declared emergency. The crew subsequently requested a low approach to have the airport check whether the gear was down. Following the low approach both ground staff and tower reported they could not see any gear. Emergency services were alerted to a "no gear landing" at alert level 3. The crew advised they would be stopping on the runway and would evacuate, they had about one hour of fuel remaining. The aircraft positioned for a no gear landing on runway 20, then advised they wanted another orbit, approach clearance was cancelled. About 10 minutes later the crew intercepted the localizer runway 20 again and touched down about 85 minutes after departure but overran the end of the runway. Tower immediately closed the airfield when the aircraft touched down. There were no injuries.
Chattanooga's fire department reported: "Public safety agencies rushed to the Chattanooga Regional Airport late Wed night after receiving reports that a FedEx757 was on its final approach with a landing gear failure. The call came in at 11:04 PM on 10/4/23. CFD, CPD and HCEMS quickly staged in position and waited."
I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little aviation fact for today! More to come tomorrow!
Wishing you all the best!
Joe

This is an excellent example of effective communications in handling the emergency.

[@VASAviation]

Amazing production, Joe!!! Thanks for having me be part of it. Great review and explanation!!

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Having heard other ATCs speaking really quickly, sometimes to pilots who are not native English speakers (and not as fluent as Capn Joe!), listening to this one was a pleasure - circumstances not withstanding! He was so calm and clear, there was next to no chance of misunderstanding from him.

[@rolandk9860]

You could really hear the pilots voice change throughout the incident, the strain in it, once they realized what they are up against. But they stayed so calm and collected... What an amazing display of professionalism!

[@TheDjzaa]

I'm halfway on the video and I have to say, this has been the very best video you've produced, Captain Joe! WOW! the checklist explanation and the care you've put on making this, really complements the backstory! well done!

[@Youtub77W]

The pilot took "FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE" to another level

[@mattbeddw]

Another great feature from ATC was relaying messages from Tower (Tower clears you...) allowing the pilots to focus on one controller and not having to switch back and forth between multiple frequencies at each critical stage of flight

[@thatcherb850]

My mom works as ATC in Chattanooga there and I have sat up in the tower a few times. Crazy to see this happen at this little airport! Glad to see the safe landing they made and that everyone made it out just fine.

[@iammrvain]

Good to see you back in action Captain Joe. Yes, I like this format. As a pilot, I get the perspective of all parties with intelligent input. A good pilot is always learning.

[@justinstrickland5382]

Chattanoogan here, I’m incredibly proud of the response from the local emergency services, the training for an incident like this proved to be instrumental. Great job by all!

[@SHOVEIT]

This definitely will be another Aircraft Investigation episode! Amazing how the pilot kept his cool.

[@sandragershenfeld4275]

Superb video! Even thought I am a former flight attendant, I am a nervous flyer. Your videos have done so much to inform (and calm) me and give me the confidence that the crew at the pointy end want to safely get to where we're going even more than I do! Your videos have helped me become a much better flyer, especially on the ultra long haul flights. But this was your best video yet! Please do more vids about in flight incidents, your explanations really explain exactly what happened and how it was managed by the flight crew.

[@Danny_Roman.]

Wow just want to say what totally professional people we have flying these plane and monitoring the skies. Well done to everyone that night , you all deserve a massive medal. ❤

[@Aerospace_EdC]

All I can say is wow !! That was some pretty calm pilots and ATC person. Glad there were no injuries and everyone walked away. And I appreciate your analysis Capt Joe.

[@laratheplanespotter]

That intro made me feel a little nauseous! I’m so glad you’re back!! 🎉

[@iamsfa777]

I appreciate the level of calmness the flight crew had as well as the prompt response from the ATC tower while handling the situation!

[@chrisharris7893]

Very much looking forward to an ARFF video! You even make a follow-me car video interesting. Glad you're back!

[@mikefatah]

FedEx pilot as well as everyone at Chattanooga did an excellent job!

[@Dirk-van-den-Berg]

Dear Joe! It has been FAR TOO LONG!

[@3mon-rpclips900]

I’m not pilot but the communication and understanding of the pilots and ATC was outstanding. Also great debrief Joe another good watch. Hats off to everyone involved amazingly handled situation
