It is my belief the pilot was talking about the "Bingo" safety factor, an old military term to describe the condition of remaining fuel available to a military aircraft. The term "Bingo" refers to a non-regulatory meaning of the term that warns the pilot that "Bingo fuel" means it's time to either turn back to land, or time to make a judgment call about landing very soon. The term is NOT a regulatory term used in GA terms to mean "it's now an emergency because "we reached Bingo fuel time". Bingo fuel means it's time for us to go home safely because we don't want to have an emergency if we wait much longer.

Wow... where to begin. First of all DP, and I hope you read this, you are way off beat. The controller did not have a choice. They don't decide when an airport is open and when it's not. He wasn't being a jerk in not allowing it, in fact he may have been saving his life. Because the airport was NOTAMED closed the ONLY way the pilot would be allowed to land would be in an emergency. The airport was scheduled to close during that time and the pilot took off knowing this, it is he who endangered his passengers. As part of his preflight briefing the pilot would have been given this info by his dispatch. The controller told the pilot that if he needed to declare an emergency he needed to do it on the center freq. as that is who was holding him at that time (SOP). Once he declares the emergency then they would move, but this will also raise many questions hot him to answer. Many of which have been written here already. But don't blame the controller under those circumstances.
@michaelhollister79328 жыл бұрын
Had the Allegiant crew checked NOTAMS, they would have known that the Blues were there in Fargo that weekend! The Blues normally have two practice flights a day except on show days. When this Allegiant crew arrived (late) the Blues had the airspace for one of their practices . . . in other words, the airspace was closed to all other traffic UNLESS an emergency was declared. This was Allegiant's fault and I am sure the FAA had plenty to say to the crew . . . who I also understand were high-ranking executives with the airline taking the flight to stay current. Embarrassing all the way around, if that last part is true. We all make mistakes, but at least no one was hurt . . . except ego's.
@flyerbob1245 жыл бұрын
It was the airlines fault. The crew should have looked at the NOTAMS and delayed their departure in order to arrive when the airport was open.

This is another reason not to fly Allegiant.

If he has to do a missed approach in Duluth for whatever reason he may be out of fuel before being able to come back around and land. The pilot took the safest approach, paused the blue angels glorious practice, and landed the plane. The regulations worked.

+Lou Paul He would have to declare an emergency upon diverting because Grand Forks is far enough that he would be at less than 30 minutes of fuel upon reaching Grand Forks. So if he was dispatched with only fuel for the trip from origin to Fargo plus the required 45 minutes reserved fuel, then he is at emergency fuel the very second ATC ask him to divert or hold. There was good weather so no alternate fuel was added. So again the safest action was to declare emergency and land. The flight was going to end this way from the moment it took off because the NOTAM was missed by the dispatcher and the crew. the flight was delayed leaving it's origin which caused it to arrive during the Blue angels practice and this was overlooked by the airline.

Did the dispatcher release the flight ignorant of the NOTAM? Or, were the players (dispatcher and flight crew) aware of the NOTAM and decide to "negotiate" their way into a landing at FAR upon arrival, thus disrupting airshow ops? This would not be the first time that has happened. If this trip did not have 45 minutes of remaining fuel upon arriving AT THEIR ALTERNATE DESTINATION...something is VERY wrong.

The pilot was clearly in error here. He was told he had to wait 20 minutes UNLESS he wished to declare an emergency. the Pilot Declined to do. Since pilots tend to panic when fuel is really low, he clearly was not so low on fuel he could not divert. He was trying to cajole the tower into letting him land so he didn't have to divert. The ultimate cause of the issue was that when he took off late, he should of had a note in his flight papers of the closed window at his destination. If he didn't then it was clearly a home office problem. If he did then it is again NOT the destination towers problem. To be clear IF he had declared a low fuel emergency (which by tradition and regulations he has to actually say 'I am declaring an Emergency' which he clearly did not do) then everyone else would be put on hold and he would be allowed to land straight away. That is how it works... He also would have had to show he really was low on fuel.

Take a look at the story on RYANAIR and what they do and how they treat their pilots and how they ALWAYS have fuel emergencies.

The best Ryan Air video is where the good ole boy says "he should have called in sick today."

The EXTRA fuel takes more fuel to haul it.

This is not an argument at all. The pilot did NOT have a testy exchange. He's simply stating his situation and notifying ATC that he'll have to use his emergency authority to land if he needs to.

Let them land but penalize them for not following strict compliance.

That's why they had to "declare an emergency" because there is a fine applied. Also why they were trying to "coordinate" to land earlier so they wouldn't have to declare one. IE: "Were trying to get out of the penalty."

Since when was there a 'fine' for declaring an emergency? If they actually left without the correct reserves, then they might be fined, but there's no evidence that that's the case.

Not always a fine, sometime it is just a call to the tower after landing, sometimes a letter and sometimes neither. I have declared an emergency one time in 45 years of flying. My son and I were flying at night and talking to Tampa approach control when our engine lost power. While decending into a dark ground we called Mayday. The controller told us about two airports that were way out of range to glide to, that's about all they can do. We went over emergency procedures and finally pulled the carb heat and the engine came back to life no more than 1000 feet above the ground. We landed at a small airport in downtown Tampa and I called Tampa Int'l tower to tell them we were down OK, they just said they knew a police helicopter reported us down and safe. They didn't request a call but I called anyway. Nothing was ever heard of the situation. Don't ever hesitate declaring an emergency for fear of FAA repercussions.

Jim New Yes, I completely agree with not hesitating to declare for fear of repercussions. That said, I think what the pilot did in this video was fine. Just informed them that in a few minutes, he'd need to declare if they didn't clear him first. That gives them a heads-up so Tower can hopefully work him in before he has to declare or, if not, they're at least expecting it rather than being caught off-guard. Better for everyone in that case.

Jim New Totally different. You experienced an unpredictable failure and reacted appropriately. This crew did not adequate analyze the NOTAM/TFR status or the airport and failed in preflight planning and inflight decision-making. You had no reason to fear FAA enforcement proceedings-they definitely did.

According to the headline I expected a heated argument but what I heard was a civil discussion between 2 professionals which resulted in an outcome that was designed for just such an emergency situation.
