[REAL ATC] Aer Lingus A330 taxies onto the grass and BREAKS SOME LIGHTS!

[@VASAviation]

Here's a video that many of you asked for and suggested. Thanks to Iker for his contribution with flight simulation. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas time! :)

[@Harsh.parikh747]

i want to hear the conversation between Reach 326 & FedEx 36 on 123.45Hz

[@BrokebackBob]

VASAviation - That boy is in a heap of trouble!

[@jetlagaviation9622]

What sim did u use

[@jbmbanter]

The controller sounded like he was spanking the Shamrock's butt! LOL! He even went back and made sure that he had heard. It's incredible that atc was basically accusing Shamrock of trying to "get away with it." Of course Shamrock knew something went wrong and he should have told a controller right away. :))

[@elcastorgrande]

Best wishes.

[@gummel82]

I can just imagine how embarrasing it had to be to explain the reason for the return to the passengers

[@drmayeda1930]

they just call it a "minor mechanical problem".

[@extaviation]

We just get used to the Irish and Spanish accent and all of a sudden you hear the word AirFronce at 5:41 😂😂😂

[@ankitknight6304]

there must be some atc conversation on that Elon Musk rocket sighting in LA skies

[@vaporized1000]

ankit knight great idea

[@markpokorny818]

4:44 - Aww…hearing the call from the Flybe pilot (Jersey 2CK) just brought a tear to my eye. Miss you Flybe!

[@TB-wn7vy]

If Aer Lingus had simply gotten the A330 off-road option package this entire return to airport etc. could have been avoided.

[@bmschaumburg5780]

These keep getting better and better!

[@VASAviation]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@Mode_Sierra]

Thank you for posting this. I happen to know the pilot in the “Photographic detail” flight very well :) Was a nice filler to listen to from 0:53

Great video guys! As someone after me said ''it's getting better."

Welcome to FSX Steam Edition: Real Life DLC

[@dwC4u]

More interestingly is the USAF REACH tanker requesting to speak to the FedEx plane directly...

[@VASAviation]

That's nothing more than a chat midair.

[@dwC4u]

Saying that it is nothing more than a chat is a bit dismissive. As a long time radio monitoring hobbyist, I find that interesting. Thanks for the video though...

[@VASAviation]

I explained it a bit further in another comment.

[@drnogueiras8783]

I just assumed they wanted to let them know about weather they’d just come through and the other plane would be hitting, or something to look at 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@josephkrol8330]

They must’ve been looking for 4 leaf clovers

[@drgluck07]

Why did not they do a special line up procedure?

[@VarunSolanki]

Can someone tell me what is a thomas ruth model, designed for FSX doing in X-Plane?

[@davidhoffman1278]

Interesting. When there was debris on the runway, listening to JFK Kennedy Steve, it seemed the pilots at JFK were more inclined to stop and request debris removal. Here the tower controllers seemed more interested in keeping departures and arrivals on schedule. Even dirt clods can do damage if they get sucked into a jet engine.

[@iatsd]

David Hoffman Americans panic instantly. Most of the rest of the planet find out what the situation actually is first before panicking.

[@davidhoffman1278]

iatsd, No, if you listened to many of the Kennedy Steve KZbin videos, you hear both USofA and international airline pilots request debris removal before continuing . Is this because USofA airports are more accommodating when pilots request debris to be removed? I do not know.

[@rubenvillanueva2753]

If something should happen to those aircraft taking off, I am sure the investigating board would cite the controller as "a contributing factor".

[@xheralt]

This airport _would_ have accommodated debris removal, _if the pilot wanted_ - notice how tower kept asking "are you ok with taking off, even with debris present?". If Vueling had said "no I'm not OK" then they would have delayed departures of Vueling and those behind while they performed cleanup. As noted, American pilots would have said "OMG, clean it up!", the Vueling said "no, we're cool."

[@retepaskab]

Maybe it was the position of debris why it didn't matter for them.

[@isaaclao2380]

That A332 deserves a GG and LOL

[@daveythe2nd146]

They should extend the taxiway.

[@MegaBlueT]

Only problem is, people don't want to live next to an airfield. There's always someone who doesn't want to get with the program, preventing local airports from growing bigger.

[@daveythe2nd146]

MegaBlueT I mean. I would be happier if the taxiway was wider. I don't know if the airport is packed,or runway busy. But growth would be nice.

[@shreddder999]

or shorten the lights.

[@WiggyWigmoreUK]

@@shreddder999 I think the EI plane has already done that! ;)

[@robinfloyd1366]

Hello, do you have any radio transcripts of the Helios 522 flight that crashed into the mountains due to pressurisation fault?

[@VASAviation]

Tht was long time ago.

[@robinfloyd1366]

Yes, was a long time ago. I wasn’t sure how you get your info and if historical transcripts were available to you. I think your site is the best on the web, keep up the good work 👍

[@davibrandao2644]

What about that video of airfrance 66 after 2 months grounded?

[@VASAviation]

Friday.

[@needicecream100]

Anybody know why that aircraft might have made that frequency change request of the Fedex aircraft at around 8:30?

[@manuelbonet]

Emmet I was thinking the same

[@wolfrazu]

I'm intrigued by the frequency 123.45

[@needicecream100]

It's a chat frequency for pilots on trans-oceanic flights, I gather.

[@Falkano]

Was thinking about that aswell. According to flightaware the callsign belongs to an air force plane 🤔

[@Majen77]

Emmet that absolutely correct, we usually tune in this on our 2nd radio to talk and get some info

[@gortnewton4765]

What a mess. Poor maneouvre = waste of time for everyone, including passengers.

[@menuly]

Would the pilots have felt anything when running over the taxi lights and grass ?

Huh, didn't see this one before. Interestingly this reminds me of a thread on avsim about a real aer lingus a330 pilot having problems taxiing and hitting edge light. Maybe it was him. www.avsim.com/forums/topic/353541-story-of-my-aerlingus-flight/

[@JP_Stone]

Fired, ATP license revoked? What in the bloody hell was guy there thinking I mean I am sure it was an accident but maybe not the best idea to gain what? an extra meter or two of runway.

[@TheHobade]

They don't fire staff in a highly unionised company like AerLingus. Pity. EI top brass are as ruthless bastards, same as Ryanair's management, if the pilot's were sacked, they would have won an unfair dismissal tribunal and got their salaries for life and moved to the canaries with their new 20 year old wives from somewhere in the Baltic states. But since Willie the wanker Walsh came and left, he's kicked out all the low I.Q. board m'gement top idiots., so unfair sackings are a thing of the past now, although I've not been back to Dublin since COVID (Can't afford to). My guess is they got an HR slap on the wrist and a pay rise until COVID knocked it back 50%.

[@BillClay88]

It could always be worse, but how miserable and embarrassing is that? Damn. Outside of a catastrophe or accident. That's as bad of a day as you are gonna have being a pilot. I'm guessing. I hope he was a senior pilot with yrs of flawless service to lessen tbe blow.

[@Gtapolice123]

What happend to the pilots after this incident?

[@shreddder999]

They landed.

What was the point of returning? Damage was already done either way.

Better to land and deal with the home authority than informing a second authority of any potential issues and all the extra bureaucracy that would entail.

It would be much more detailed if you did the simulation in x plane 11

[@Boxcar.hillside]

Bentrayel or fsx or p3d

[@captainprice4261]

superskullmaster I switched from fsx to x plane 11 the last two months, and x plane 11 is so much better than fsx and p3d. excellent night lighting,stunning clouds,amazing reflections,and astonishing realism(without add-ons) not like p3d or fsx where you need a hundred add-ons to make the game look halfway decent as x plane

[@messidios1548]

superskullmaster you are being really disrespectful to someone who is choosing different. Booth are good, they simulate really well but you aren’t a more experienced pilot for playing or not p3d or xplane. Respect other people’s choice

[@drmayeda1930]

The multibillion dollar company was some guy at some point. Unfortunately, sometimes the better product does lose out to something that has a bigger company behind it. I feel wordperfect is a better word processor than Word but which is more popular?

[@captainprice4261]

superskullmaster my main comment was saying that it would be better to simulate this video in x plane hence x plane models taxi lights not an argument about what's more popular

Well the flightsim visuals look amateurish...Did it drift onto the runway or something?
