[@flygfulaflugaflyg4220]

What is the STAR and the cancelled restrictions at 7:06?

[@paradiserelaxation6081]

Normally when there is an emergency ATC will cancel the STAR on the runway they need for the emergency landing. Air Transat refused to switch runway 24L for 24R. So, basically, ATC cancelled the restrictions and let Air Transat land on 24L. They asked Swiss 87 to extend the downwind because of this.

Sven you’re welcome! 👍🏻✈️

[@jnbriss8517]

It’s a standard practice in Canada. Even if you are cleared to descent to lower altitude, you have to abide by the charted altitudes and speeds of the STAR. Canceling the restrictions means that you don’t have to follow the altitudes and speeds on the STAR and just follow the controller’s instruction. You can usually get down faster, or fly faster, typically. As opposed to the USA, you get a clearance to an altitude, you disregard the STAR.

[@rhkennerly]

Wow, great ATC work. Kept all those plates spinning.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Captain Maggie’s School of Landing Gear Issues course offers great insight to pilots who wish to brush up on their skills. She’ll even throw in a free box of Kleenex for nose gear issues. I heard she gives extra credit for pilots who can land on only one main gear.

[@sebastiannielsen]

Why were TSC774 unable to 24R? Seems approach knew that too since they asked. I checked aircraft type of TSC774 and its a A330-200 and thats not the superjumbo what I know, so very strange they rather waited for 24L instead setting up for 24R.

[@pio909]

if im correct runway maintenance

[@sebastiannielsen]

@@pio909 ooh just that, in case something happen, like a brake or flaps failure just at touchdown, but is it really allowed to have a runway which is under maintenace open at all? If something happens that causes a runway overrun, they will run into the maintenace area, possibly hurting personell or equipment and/or damaging the aircraft.

[@VASAviation]

Due to maintenance, 24R length has been greatly reduced.

[@frankmazzaferro8331]

The shortening mechanism in the 330 broke ( so the wheels can fit in the wheel well), it took 2 days for it to be fixed and fly out

[@joesmith332]

I'm new to this, so maybe someone can help. Why land on 24L (9600 ft.) instead of 24R (11,000 ft.)? Even the controller says 24L is longer. The only displaced threshold I can see is for 06L, but that should have no impact landing on 24R, correct? Maybe I'm reading the charts wrong? Thanks for anyone that can explain.

[@charleshartmann]

24R is under construction and the lenght of the runway was reduced so 24L was actually longer than 24R during that time.

[@VideoNOLA]

When commercial airliners communicate with ATC as, say, "Swiss 87" are they using (part of) the physical plane's call number, the airline's flight number, or some other identifier??

[@coast2coast00]

Each airline has it's own callsign, so for them it's "Swiss" and their flight was #87, their plane reg. is HB-JHE (HB country code for Switzerland). Private planes, without an airline normally go by their tail number.

When the gear fails to retract, why not continue the flight with a fuel stop in say, Gander? Wouldn't that be safe and more economical and convenient than rebooking all the passengers and compensating them for the delay?

Absolutely not. You don't cross the Atlantic from Gander to Europe with the gear extended and full passengers.

[@mrfrenzy.]

They have visual separation when landing on parallell runways. That's why ATC asks if they can see eachother.

[@thehumbleheir97]

As mrfrenzy said, at least one of them is probably doing a visual approach, once that clearance is read back then they don’t need the usual 3 miles or 1000 feet separation for the terminal. The other possibility is that they have an approach monitor position open which closely watched the position and tracks of both aircraft, and allows the aircraft to be side by side on approach. I’m currently training for CYYC terminal and we have the same procedures with our parallels, which are a mile apart.

[@Christian_Martel]

Michiel Vandermarliere French ATC services are available in both English and French within the Montreal Centre FIR ( Quebec and Eastern Ontario ). The language used is at the pilot discretion but they must stick to that language for the duration of the flight within the FIR. ATC are bilingual and would switch from one to another on the spot depending the situation. French is mostly used by Quebec-based crews (national and regional carriers) and local pilots. Of course, almost every international crews use English, except maybe Air France.

[@josephdale69]

Were gear pins in?

[@muf722]

No. Probably not. If gear pins were the problem, they would simply return without concern and no Pan call. Maybe a little embarrassed even. I think it's a failure of the gear shortening mechanism. Without it functioning, the gear will not fit and possibly damage the gear doors and tires. The gear will come down again and indicate safe, so they are not in a hurry to land.

[@Techy111]

Doesn't the 330 also have a gear pressure switch? That may have failed fooling the system to think it was still on the ground?

[@iamkiber]

When the green hydraulic system has had a low level due to ie leakage or maintenance, after servicing a circuit breaker needs to be reset or you'll end up with this. Not saying this is what happened but it is a possibility.

[@josephdale69]

I don’t think they would know if the gear pins were in. But I have had this once in my aviation career. It ended up being a broken gear handle.
