My money is always on Lufthansa Pilots despite the mess they made of the Germanwings suicidal pilot situation. Lufthansa and the German Air Force have sizable operations at Goodyear and Luke Field on the west side of the Phoenix area, I’ve only heard great things said about their people. I like the way LH trains a guy off the street that meets their requirements vs how a US citizen would seek to become a line pilot with a US carrier after paying for his or her own training. Owing $180,000-$200,000 or more you link up with a contract carrier to earn $20 to $30K a year. LH puts you in a dorm and you start your single engine training on their dime or Euro. At Goodyear you can fly everyday, with only an extremely rare gulley washer or dust storm to keep you out of the air.

A lot of comments on ATC English... my experience is on Northern East coast, English is relatively understandable for someone who has some practice. This audio, with a few exceptions, not necessarily due to controller’s speaking, makes sense... when going further south, it becomes worse and worse, when reaching Texas, one got the impression talking to a bunch of cowboys running on their horses thru wind, shooting their Colt with one hand ans a lasso in the other to catch the plane landing... And in the mean time tell people what to do in worst slang... Don’t forget, in international air traffic a good part of pilots are not native English speakers and even less Texan English speakers... this LH pilot did master the language perfectly and probably has long experience in the area and knows a bit about local customs and expressions. And is stress resistant... don’t forget he has left his house 12-14 hours before and has almost as much working hours behind him... so is pretty tired and just wants one single thing... put his plane on the ground and run to the shower in his hotel room. But instead is facing this shit and then, once on the ground, will be be handed over to US immigration treatment that is just designed to make visitors feel like shit while doing a job that contributes to make America great again...But just use your imagination and put à Chinese, Russian or so there... the plane might not make due to communication mishaps... And LH is focused on his approach and communication, but these exchanges are followed by other traffic in the sky, that are listening with one ear to get a full sense of what’s happening around, they might miss half due to poor speech... And then fuel... airlines don’t typically cross the ocean to carry excess fuel... I guess most of us know that it would be an expensive deal... the heavier the plane the more fuel it burns, to a point eventually with loading more fuel, consumption is so high it’ll reach destination with even less... this is all calculated including weather, safety margins and possible alternate airports to divert to in emergency. In this case this would have probably definitely been considered if running further out of control at BOS.

Agree totally. I have been wondering a lot (since I have been listening to ATC on youtube) why for heaven's sake all this information is passed on via radio... we're living in times of smartphones, computers etc. and parts of all this information is (as much as I know) is only passed on over radio. Luckily it ususally works quite well. Btw - does anybody know what atc would do in case of strong solar flares? I have heard that from time to time very strong solar flares occur and can then disturb electromagnetical fields (which I guess might be a disaster for atc)?

I do agree with Anthony 1976 regarding the slacky pronunciation, but we have to give them they speak endlessly for hours and then you tend to mumble. I didn't feel like the German pilots had any difficulties in understanding Boston Control but rather they were annoyed how they let them circle over Boston. Any aircraft coming in from the Atlantic is low on fuel. That much BOS had to take into consideration.

I understand what some posters are saying about the Boston ATC, Anthony 1976 in particular. And I understand that any human repeating the same words over & over again every day will fall into a habit of delivering them quicker and therefore risking mis-pronunciation leading to reduced comprehension by the listener. It's so easy to have a significant misunderstanding. This is fine in most jobs but in the world of ATC it is totally unacceptable. If a catastrophe occurred as result how would the controller feel. The crew would be blameless. and, I'm sure the controllers "Fall into the habit" scenario would not be accepted as a defence in a law court. The industry should address this as a serious issue to be dealt with. Maybe it should be an FAA requirement that controllers' ATC conversations be monitored periodically to identify anyone who needed the services of a voice coach and/or speech therapist.

I was a passenger on a Norwegian 787 coming into Boston last week and it was insane. Easily the hairiest approach I've ever been a part of (and I flew on a River Visual into DCA during a storm). We would hold speed and altitude for long periods and then descend and cut speed at the same time. I've never seen the spoilers out so many times during an approach, and never before while on final with full flaps out. Somehow we avoided going around though.

Controller should get his pee-pee wacked. First a go-around, then vectored for the ILS 04R, then changing to a LOC only approach while on final vectors and then the RNAV approach. Talk about hectic after a 9 hour flight. Not necessary.
@HEDGE10116 жыл бұрын
Gil Marriner Completely necessary. He had to clear them for the LOC due a tall ship moving into the harbor. The RNAV was then proffered and accepted as the most expeditious way to get the flight onto the ground.

HEDGE1011 , What? A tall ship? A tall sailing ship? An air craft carrier? Ships go in and out of harbors all the time. Why the heck have an ILS at all if it may be blocked by a ship?
@HEDGE10116 жыл бұрын
David Hoffman The harbor is just off the end of the runway and a tall ship violates protected airspace. Why have an ILS? Because most of the time there's not a ship there. When this airport was designed ILS clearance criteria and jet transport operations were not a factor.

Unfortunate performance by ATC. Controllers seem to have very poor control of the airspace. There's little excuse for the atrocious handling of the Lufthansa flight. That being said, I have flown into and out of Logan many times and have never experienced this kind of sloppy flight handling. This one was a real mess.

@ATCpilot6 жыл бұрын
wiedehopf thanks. If I did not understand that, I guess the pilots didnt either. And even if so, it doenst change the fact that ATC screwed up the two approaches.
@wiedehopf90686 жыл бұрын
Well the first approach they screwed up. Or the plane in front of Lufthansa slowed early. Although i must say the typical USA announcement of 180 knots to 5 nmi is often not obeyed by pilots because they need to meet their stable approach criteria. 170 knots or even 160 knots to 5 nmi would probably work better. Pilots should announce "unable 180 to 5" but they don't want to argue with ATC. Sometimes they even ask for the 180 to 5 out even with a tailwind and that's when it gets ridiculous. their throughput in planes/hour is already good and the planes are moving much faster over the ground. The tall ship entering the area is not an ATC screwup, but yes he should have said change to approach Localizer 04R, Glideslope unavailable. On the other hand with all the noise on the frequency there was a more systemic problem: maybe not enough controllers to handle the bad maybe unforecast weather.

What was the problem with the non ils approach (2nd) and non ILS/LOC approach (3rd). It was unavalaible becasue of...? I dont understand. Also is it confirmed that the fuel low situation was from Lufthansa? Thats also weird because in my opinion every plane has enough ful to do some 30-40 minutes hold + fuel to alternate airport + some reserve so it is weird too.
@davidtsw5 жыл бұрын
No offense but why do so many of American ATCs seem not very smart to say the least ? At 1:00 the controller uses some non standard phraseology which the pilots struggle to understand and when they ask him to repeat the message he says the same think, using the same words, but even faster. What an idiot. And don't tell me it's to save time because he's busy. The whole thing took almost 20 seconds and could have taken 5 if the controller used standard aviation phraseology and spoke more clearly.

It’s the ILS 04R approach. MILTT is the waypoint at the outer marker. The full approach starts at WINNI in Norwood, then NABBO which is right over the I93/route 24 split, then MILTT. Often when it’s busy they’ll vector the planes to intercept either at MILTT or slightly before which is a 5.1 mile final to the runway by the chart and 6.9 miles on the DME.

There were vehicles or something else in the area of the glideslope transmitter so it was unreliable. That was probably sudden so he just cleared him for the localizer only approach which Lufthansa didn't quite get. But that is not Lufthansa's fault because switching an approach should be announced more clearly (they obviously thought for now just join the localizer)

@davidswelt6 жыл бұрын
The terminology in the description above is non-standard (or faulty, if you want). The approaches were cancelled by ATC, and in one case, upon request by the pilots because the vectors received put them too close in for a safe approach (would have required too steep a descent, either for standard operating procedures or energy management - can't tell which).
@GrafvonIsen6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I didn't get, that ATC cancelled the approach.
@wiedehopf90686 жыл бұрын
They are able to fly all the published approaches. Which he based on current weather information he had which was probably better than what he encountered on the 3rd approach (just said it was close to minimum) First approach: Too close to the preceding traffic Second approach: expecting ILS, cleared for Localizer only approach. Lufthansa didn't get that they thought they should join the localizer only without capturing the glideslope, but they were cleared for a Localizer only approach and could've descended would the controller have made it more clear. (glideslope not usable because a large ship was on the water in front of the runway) Third approach: made it in but saw the runway at the last moment possible (minimum altitude to see the runway before having to go around) quite unfortunate to have that ship come in on the second approach.

The facta that ATC made them fly around like a homeless bird, which, BTW, chews up fuel under those circumstances, so all he was doing was stating a fact and never declared an emergency. Besides, itvis unclear as to who actually transmitted that but we can all guess. The LH jockeys did well and maintained level heads and even had time to be sarcasric to the ATC’er by saying they could land anywhere or something like that. Hope that answers your question.
