Emergency Landing American Boeing 767 at Glasgow Airport

[@slimpyjones2706]

For the interested - this aircraft left American in 2016 and now operates as N337AZ for Amazon Prime Air.

[@JonathanWinton123]

Thanks for adding that Richard. I just noticed that when checking on planespotters.net the other day.

Jonathan, thank you for taking and posting this excellent video. I was the Captain on this flight, and the ATC audio helps to capture the urgency of our situation. My thanks to the professional response and assistance of the Glasgow Airport Rescue and Firefighting crews and the Glasgow Tower Controller. Thanks again for the great video.

Thanks so much Bob. I was just thinking the same. It is crazy that 5 years has passed since this happenned.

[@2711marty]

Brilliant capture from our wee airport down the road! Glasgow has seen some great drama's over the years and we've all witnessed two or three I'm sure but this video Jonathon is a superb example and analysis on all of went on. Shows how people on the ground as well as those in the air handle their respective responsibilities and boy, they did well here, cool as cucumbers! Magic to see that Capt. Bob has come on and left a very warm message - bet that means a lot to you and shows that he appreciates that some people really consider what he was up against was a tough old gig.

[@JonathanWinton123]

Thanks very much. It was such a cool movement to see and so unexpected. To see the pilots deal with the whole situation so professionally was truly impressive and has stuck with me ever since.

[@tjfSIM]

Excellent video, it's cool that she ended up parking right next to where you were filming! Also very impressed with the ATC, once again showing how good our controllers are in a crisis! :)

Nice video and a great job by the flight crew. Everyone says a single engine landing is easier in the plane than in the sim. In my 28 years of flying at AA only had one engine fail, #2 on a DC-10. It was nice having two more turning!

Had our own diversion back to Glasgow back in September with four fire crews to meet the plane. Interesting to see your video and to watch what happens from the outside perspective. Never did get the chance to thank the Captain or Glasgow airport crews for keeping us all safe. Still don't know for sure what happened, many figured it was a flap issue. Either way, happy to be on terra firma to watch your video! Well done!

[@JonathanWinton123]

Paul Henry Honestly it just so happened that I was in the right place at the right time. Yeah some of the ground crew were. It was all such short notice they had a matter of minutes just to get crew there and an AA representative to help. She should be out of GLA soon.

[@19bootsy68]

Great timing and exciting times (for some)...My daughter and I went to Amsterdam last July and on our return I noticed our plane done a massive turn in the air above Norfolk... I said to my daughter that something was up...only seconds later the captain informed us that due to hydrologic problems we were returning to AMS...my poor daughter was bricking it. Actually I might upload that flight on KZbin...AMS to NCL via AMS ;). Will you be recording the United flight into NCL by any chance? I might head up to see it land, go for breakfast and watch it take off.

[@JonathanWinton123]

***** Och thankyou mate. Ahh lucky man, yeah you should upload that, I guarantee thatd do well. I certainly will be, wouldn't miss that moment of our North East's history for the world :) If you let me know beforehand where abouts you are we could meet up :)

[@19bootsy68]

[@JonathanWinton123]

***** Ah right, who are they if you dont mind me asking? May know them :) Aye if your around thatd be good mate :)

[@19bootsy68]

Jonathan Winton I'm afraid you would know these two Jonathan as they work in the same office as I do and they don't go to the airport spotting. Like me they fly on a regular basis...especially one of them. It doesn't look like I will be able to make it anyway as I have my son stay with me on a weekend, I was going to get his Nana to look after him on that day but she is away to a family wedding down south and I know he won't be wanting to go up the airport that early in the morning. So I guess I will be relying on you to make a superbly done video 👍.

+Michael McNeillie Cheers mate. Not really no, if anything their record is at a par with the others for reliability. No worries. Thanks for watching

[@hazard6812]

in a situation like this, wouldn't it have been a better idea to evac? hot brakes from an overweight landing combined with oil potentially leaking could be REALLY bad if the brakes spark up and tires ignite, especially when the aircraft stopped for inspection. oil could've pooled up. yes they were in direct contact with fire services, but an extra 30 seconds before they decide to evac could be huge

[@JonathanWinton123]

No not at all. As the situation as assessed by the crew was safe enough to go to a remote stand and deboard there. You have to remember that simply evacuating passengers unecessarily in this kind of situation could create more problems and headaches for everyone, emergency services etc etc. No need to evacuate as the emegency was completely under control and did not pose any immediate danger to the crew or passengers and upon inspection by the fire service was given the all clear to taxi to a stand.

[@JonathanWinton123]

+Terran Tan Correct, the left hand engine was fully functioning. The right hand enginse suffered a bad oil leak which caused the failure

[@yakacm]

I can see our house from there, lol. Nice video my friend, where was the flight heading, was it destined for Glasgow or did it just stop there as the nearest airport?

[@JonathanWinton123]

+diecast jam Haha nice one mate. No it was headed for Dallas if I remember correctly. Then when she was off the west coast of Scotland at cruising altitude she encountered the engine problem then. So they diverted to Glasgow as its the most capable on the west coast

[@yakacm]

Ah it had started from Heathrow or the continent or something? Don't think I can really see our house, but not far off, I stay in Scotstoun, a bit further up Dumbarton Road you can see the aircraft coming in very low with their gear down on the last few second of their final approach.

Why reverse thrust if only one engine working?

[@ninejets]

+robert hinchliffe Because the thruster will still go up because its electric but the thrust wont work

[@roberthinchliffe578]

Thanks you explaining that.

[@roberthinchliffe578]

Wait so you would use trust reverse on just on engine? I think i would go all brakes

[@ninejets]

robert hinchliffe the brakes would catch fire

[@joetocayo]

+robert hinchliffe Each thrust reverser operates independently. On a normal landing, both would be used. With only one operational, either the engine itself, or the reverser, an aircraft would get asymmetrical thrust, possibly causing control difficulties. Not wise on a slick runway. On this landing, they were landing with a brisk crosswind from the right. An airplane would tend to weathervane into the wind, or turn right. Since they had a good left engine and thrust reverser, using it actually countered that tendency to veer right. Not always a good idea to use reverse thrust if one is inoperative, but on that landing, it actually helped keep the airplane straight, as well as assisting in stopping.
