[REAL ATC] Air France B77W has ENGINE FAILURE after takeoff at Atlanta!

First of all *thanks to Matt* for sharing his video with us!! Good catch, dude! // Link in the description! *KUDOS to* all the Atlanta controllers, pilots and ARFF crews for their job. Splendid example of professionals in the busiest airport! Glad it all ended up safe! :)

I think I can hear the qu’on tourne. It sounds like he started in English and finished statement in French. I however listened 3 times and do not hear the ‘Tu veux’ or are you indicating that as a joke that the tower could have stated it back in French including the ‘you want’ ?

[@kabochaVA]

​@@lijohnyoutube101 I am a French native speaker, and he says (verbatim): "Err... Request... err... left turn. Tu veux qu'on tourne ?" ~ It sounds like the pilot first talked to the ATC (in English) then, with the mic still on, asked the captain (in French) if he wanted to make the turn. ~ A non-native speaker may not hear the "Tu veux" because it's quite subtle, and may sound like noise to the untrained ear. As a native speaker, at first I didn't even notice that he had switched to French. LoL

Incredible engineering how this aircraft can fly with only 1 engine in the worst possible scenario. Low, slow and fully laden with fuel!

[@jackielinde7568]

All modern airliners are designed so they can flight with one engine out (for the dual engine planes at least.) It's one of the tests before an aircraft can be certified. There's also procedures for pilots to follow right from takeoff in case of an engine not working. One of the last takeoff decision points is V2, where the plane must have enough speed to fly on one engine in case of an issue or turn around and land. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/baGbgaSklpmnbcU)

Hartsfield has always had a reputation for having some of the best controllers in the country they make it a little short with you on the radio, but you have to understand the kind of traffic they have to deal with.

Yes it can happen, if ATC did not correct either it's that there was no risk in doing so, as the crew is obviously under a higher workload in these kind of situations.

With progressive vectors, it doesn't matter. TRACON is watching them very closely. The offset will get cleaned up on their next heading change.

No, I think the readback was correct, just with a French accent. I believe the transcription is inaccurate in the video. Another example being at 4:51, the a/c is cleared to land, but the transcription says "cleared for takeoff".

[@stevenshillinger775]

ATC needs to speak slower while instructing Emergency Aircraft. Especially one who is obviously not a native English speaking crew.

[@iatsd]

@brokosa yf the controller was talking at the speed US controllers typically speak at. They need to learn to talk a bit slower and more clearly as their diction is often quite bad. At minimum, they should adopt the ICAO standards for comms.

[@Jack3md]

It’s an emergency situation. These controllers know what they’re doing. Especially at a FAA level 12 facility.

[@iatsd]

@All_Roads No one had any trouble? You're not used to listening to non-native speakers then. Listening to the AF pilots they were having to parse what ATC was saying. I can hear their hesitation and, as an ESL teacher, I am willing to judge what is causing it: ATC is talking to quickly for them to translate on the fly. They are having to repeat it to themselves in their mind & consciously translate. If ATC slowed down then they could translate in real time without the extra delay and with reduced chance for error. ATC is simply adding to their stress and their workload IMO.

[@moggye2261]

I think you guys don’t understand when something like that happens of course you get stressed but mostly they are 12 planes wanting to land/take off. 1 minute late and everything can turn to madness. He just speaks fast to talk to all of them. As for he is French he should speak slower ? He never asked to repeat it’s simple no bs information.

[@iatsd]

@@moggye2261 *All* US controllers tend to speak fast IME. It's as if they think it's cool or something. As for being busy, I don't buy it. It's busy airspace, yes, but you don't often hear ATC in other countries with busy airspace talking at the rate US controllers favour. Then again, other countries manage to accept the ICAO standards without having to have their Own Special Rules just to make them feel better.

[@carnie2_917]

Excelent video. I have a question about making a turn with 1 eng. out. Now im clearly not a pilot, but i seem to remember that you "allways" turn towards the good engine, since that wing has more lift. Or am i wrong there? I know there is procedures for the patterns around AP, but in Emergencies with eng out... ? Or is it only smaller GA's that this is important for ? This is not a critigue of the pilots, but just a simple Q to make me more enlightened :-)

That clip highlights the difference in training, in this flight, they turned on the dead engine where in the United 328 flight they turned on the working engine, just minor disparities in training, but it's fun to see!

[@sylviaelse5086]

And that's the correct way to state that one has an emergency. None of this "We are declaring an emergency" nonsense which sometimes creates confusion about whether there is actually an emergency. And clearly the controllers underestand this ICAO standard terminology.

[@CaptainAviation__]

223 Remington yeah, nothing bad happened and it’s a pretty “average” problem.. but listing to it live is just a lot more different

[@icarus_falling]

My understanding is that the heavily loaded 777's are tricky to get stable speed on the initial climb so losing an engine must only add to that. I refer to the other video where a 777 stalled after takeoff.

[@TheBonzomatic]

I was waiting for a friend to arrive in the cell phone lot that day. I could tell something looked wrong after the plane took off because it didn't gain altitude very quickly like the other planes did.
