[@bdcochran01]

Even though the engine failed on climb, would the runway be checked for FOD?

[@philipstaite4775]

I think that is why the controller asked if it failed on the runway or in flight. The response was on climb out. Still, out of an abundance of caution if they could switch to 8R and at least do a cursory inspection of 9 that would seem like a good idea. Granted 8R is "only" 10500 compared to 9's 13000 ft length. But winds were not a factor - 3 or 4 kts. Maybe that's why they directed them back to 9. After they landed, they'll see if they dropped anything on takeoff or landing. Limit the potential FOD to one runway.

Any controllers out there - fuel in time or weight? I can understand that there are situations where knowing how long an aircraft can remain in the air is important, as well as times when knowing how much fuel the ARFF units might need to deal with could be, but there doesn’t seem to be any logic applied in many of these sorts of incidents. In this instance the aircraft has already stated their intention to return immediately, so why does the controller repeatedly bother the crew with requests for fuel remaining in time when it’s of no consequence and they’ve already stated the weight. In other cases controllers don’t specify and there just seems to be no consistency. Is there any logic to this or is it purely just dependent on the regional control center’s paperwork?

[@igotbeans]

They need to know how much fuel there is in case a plane is dealing with fires like this flight was. Emergency crews need to know how many souls (living people bc planes can often transport deceased remains) to locate all survivors. They need to know fuel load to prepare to deal with the fire and maybe even prepare for an explosion since cargo flights like this one can carry hazmat items. Knowing all this info helps expedite the rescue efforts.
