[REAL ATC] Southwest LOST ENGINE COWL -- DEPRESSURIZATION!! :O

[@amandam1137]

Only vas aviation has the checklist for us. What attention to detail, always coming up with something new and interactive

[@aametriigraham8489]

Amanda M Agreed!

[@Garythegangster]

Well I guess if half of my port side engine had just gone AWOL I probably be transmitting to ATC inadvertently. These guys got the job done and got it down in one piece so that's a result in my book, stuff the small details. Any landing you walk away from is a good one. When number one engine spits its dummy out big time a safe landing is truly a good one. Great job guys.

[@s0ulfire]

Wow. I believe the same thing happened yesterday to SouthWest!

[@calfeggs]

I wonder what the cause of the cowl separation was, and if it was a a design flaw.

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

Honestly, don't have to be hearing impaired to benefit from subtitles. Especially when it comes to radio chatter that sounds like everyone's covering their mouths with oven mitts.

[@someonestolemyname]

It also help us normal people since the radio audio is quite garbled to the untrained ears. For me with ADHD it also helps since I drop words I heard and captions make sure I have every word recorded

[@beeble2003]

Do be aware that the captions are sometimes quiet inaccurate. I didn't notice anything significant on this video, but the captions on this channel sometimes give the wrong impression (I recall one where a pilot said they needed time to run checklists and the caption had it as needing time to "burn gas"), and, very rarely, the caption is the exact opposite of what was said.

[@itsumonihon]

stuck mic was probably a combination of stress (death grip on the yoke) and relative unfamiliarity with operating the aircraft while using the oxygen mask - simple things like that make normal tasks weird to complete.

[@LostPilotage]

Muscle memory under high stress. The PTT in the 737 is a rocker switch. Depress the top of the rocker switch, and you have the PTT. Hold the bottom rocker switch you have intercom, so you can talk through the speaker. The only time you ever use the intercom is when establishing crew communication after donning oxygen. Muscle memory to just hit the PTT, no big deal, they are the emergency aircraft it is there frequency now, at least ATC won't be interrupting the many many checklists they had to run. They did a great job. I believe I said that correctly, I have been doing it so long under muscle memory I myself have to have the yoke in my hand.

[@Firecul]

Hmm good to know it's a rocker, I just thought it was a normal switch.

[@tigersfan14]

This actually isn't that bad of a thing. In the event that something like this turns catastrophic, hearing these comms is another data point for investigators.

[@111himan]

Theyd have the data recorders, the problem is while theyre descending and blocking the radio ATC cant warn other planes to deviate. TCAS works good but ATC still has a watchful eye. At the same time the pilot disabled the resolution advisory to just TA traffic advisory so they wont have the TCAS commands

[@Firecul]

111himan The RA part of the system is disabled automatically below a certain height. I can't remember the exact number but when you are landing and taking off you aren't exactly at your most maneuverable so your ability to react is greatly diminished anyway.

[@captaintom8020]

Glad they transmitted that checklist lol.Least we knew what was going on in the cockpit!

[@fhuber7507]

Very busy cockpit and the worst error they made is: accidentally transmitting while going through checklists. Actually the checklist being read gave the ATC a good indication how serious it was.

[@martf8014]

no its a massive mistake to make as the channel is blocked. i.e atc can not give this aircraft or any other instruction.

[@billyb4613]

Mart is right on this one. ATC don't care about the checklists at all. They already know how serious it is when the pilot declared an emergency. The blocked frequency creates a huge problem that's very annyoing. We're not exactly concerned with the state of the aircraft, we can't do a darn thing about it; it's out of our hands. An emergency simply means that it gets priority handling.

[@hazard6812]

when a pilot declares emergency ATC already knows that the situation is bad. and if somehow they didn't know the situation was serious, they sure as hell would after the pilot requested to drop sub 10000 feet. depressurization is dangerous as fuck and you need to get the airspace below them cleared within minutes.

[@RealCadde]

Also, the particular checklist was for the event of depressurization. ATC already knew from the fact they demanded 10,000 feet from FL280. You only do that if you have a depressurized cabin.

[@martf8014]

@6 6 What?

[@danahan01]

10:00 - Southwest 3472, "Hey! As I go by, how does that motor look?" Tower, "Awe, not too bad, should buff right out!!"

[@Edward-ko9pn]

I think its amazing how all parties communicate with each other on the ground and to the aircraft . Big team effort needed to land the aircraft safely. No breakdowns in communication on this one, very smoothly executed. Now that is professionalism.

[@bearsmith3655]

[@MasterNiva]

now check the new one, same problem same sothwest

[@madam757]

Identical to what happened with Southwest Airlines Flight 1380!

[@BillinHungary]

The difference was that there is something in the engine cowling or nacelle, that is suppose to keep parts from flying up high enough to shatter a window, which is what happened on 1380. Part of that investigation was to determine why a part of the engine shattered the window, instead of hitting lower like on this flight, which only caused a depressurization that didn't suck anyone out of the plane.

[@dopamining7621]

That was fucking gripping. The female in the tower was super empathic, and professional. So professional, everyone involved. Really makes me feel more confident flying - which is kind of a paradox considering how bad this could have been (if the fuselage had been penetrated by debris). Thanks for posting this !

[@5roundsrapid263]

dopamining I certainly feel better flying SWA.

[@ianmoseley9910]

[@bananian]

so cool to see the checklist. I always thought it would be supercomplicated and would get anxious when pilots say they will run through a checklist.

[@Tekker2234]

As far as I know they are made to be as simple as possible so that they can be easily read and followed in emergencies with limited time available.

[@44R0Ndin]

My commendations to the pilots of this flight, they handled it very well. The stuck mic isn't a big issue because of the priority order for handling tasks when piloting an aircraft in an emergency: 1. Aviate! (Fly the airplane) 2. Navigate. 3. Communicate (ATC will help you in any way they can). In this case, a loss of cabin pressurization means they MUST descend below about 4000 feet (ASL) or crew and passengers may start getting hypoxia and/or altitude sickness. This is especially important if above 26k feet as above that altitude you NEED to wear an oxygen mask.

[@voky]

Funny enough, having the mic stuck made this video way more interesting. Just a honest question though. I thought you had to descent at least below 10000 feet (ASL). Where are you getting the 4000 feet figure from? (Because that's why I have been thought in ground school.)

[@44R0Ndin]

voky Well Wikipedia says that the negative effects of high altitude on humans start at about 4900 feet, and the image of the checklist the pilots were going thru also said 4000 feet, so I went with that. Maybe it varies between aircraft types or manufacturers or something like that. For example, maybe the 737 and A320 have different altitudes listed in their emergency checklists. I'm pretty sure 8k to 10k feet would be "safe enough" as you can go higher than that in a GA aircraft without being required to have a supplemental oxygen system on board. However, an aircraft's official checklist has the authority to over-rule my possibly faulty memory.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

+voky 4km

[@voky]

I actually missed that part on the video lol. I was genuinely asking because I had the same thought as you. Just like you said, we got taught (in reagards to GA) to never fly above 10k feet without supplemental oxygen. I'm gonna go and ask one of the instructors on the 737 tomorrow and I'll see what he says about it.

[@44R0Ndin]

voky Funny thing is, I'm not even a pilot. I'm just interested in the technology that makes it all work.

[@EthanDPW]

Great video. They were transmitting on ATC a lot

[@AEMoreira81]

Probably a good thing though...as ATC is aware of the emergency and a need to descend to 10,000 feet (so that depressurization doesn't cause a problem).

Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 engine failure that lead to a death was a twin with regard to cause, NTSB reports and video are fascinating. This incident was well into the NTSB’s investigation when 1380 happened which pushed things forward with greater urgency. Finding, this engine type had an unrecognized “fundamental” flaw that required improved maintenance procedures. The NTSB video is fascinating, they talk about how a fan blade can be ejected out of the front of an aircraft moving at speed and what is the “definition” of a contained blade separation failure.

@@beenaplumber8379 Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 was a Boeing 737-700 that experienced a contained engine failure in the left CFM International CFM56 engine. CFMI is a 50-50 joint-owned company of Safran Aircraft Engines (formerly known as Snecma) of France, and GE Aerospace (GE) of the United States. Boeing does not own or have any interest in any jet engine company. Boeing does have the design responsibility for the cowling of the turbofan engines. A year earlier an identical failure of a fan blade on the same engine type occurred.

[@lohphat]

Have they located the cowling debris which fell away or did that happen over water?

This was not catastrophic failure. If it was, the outcome would been much worse. The crew and passengers were very lucky. A passenger stated that there was total loss of hydraulics. I do not believe that to be true. Hydraulics are redundant on this aircraft. Only one side was affected. It would automatically be isolated.
