- New and some classics of the top air traffic control (ATC) interesting, weird and funny conversations, from new york jfk airport to Hong Kong near miss with terrain. Credit for some of the audio from liveatc.net
Tower: "So you have an engine failure but not an emergency?"
Pilot: "Yup!"
Jäger WFA it would be a Pan Pan if they declare an emergency it’s a massive deal, they could fly all the way to their next destination on 3 engines if they really wanted to
mrlegodude96alt2 what’s a pan pan?
@@yaraahmad8878 a PAN PAN stands for
Pay
Attention
Now
(I think Morse is like XXXXXXX?)
it's used if there's a situation that is urgent, but does not pose any risk (right now) to the people or the vessel itself (it's a naval term too), it tells emergency crews to stand by, where as an emergency (Mayday or declaring an emergency as it's used in aviation) has the emergency crews literally drop whatever they are doing and shut down the airport to deal with this emergency.
Guess he figured he still had 3 good engines? One would think a major failure would necessitate an emergency. Strange indeed.
Lab Insight no not strange. Engne failure does not put the aircraft or occupants in jeopardy. That is the definition of an emergency.
That one pilot who said “meteor” after everyone else kept saying “comet” is my freaking spirit animal.
A comet is a late ww2 British tank so I was a tad confused when he said it
@@joshuamarshman101 More relevant would be the De Havilland Comet. The first Commercial Jet Airliner...
@@joshuamarshman101 The Comet is also the worlds first Jetliner and none of them are flying anymore. The Meteor was an early jet fighter and some of them ARE still flying, though not in America.
@@joshuamarshman101 plane not tank wait nevermind youre right my bad. Usually when someone refers to a comet they are talking about the british passenger plane that was famous for having multiple crashes due to its square windows
Meteor (or meteoroid, it's the same thing) was indeed correct. It's when a space rock enters the earth's atmosphere. A comet doesn't enter earth's atmosphere. A meteor could however be a fragment from a comet. Also, when a meteor gets to the ground, it's called a meteorite.
"Emergency?"
"No, no emergency"
"Oh I thought your engine failed"
"It did"
"So emergency?"
"No, engine failure but no emergency"
It's good passengers don't hear the coms. They would freak out.
747 has 4 engines and can fly just fine on 3, and can still limp to an airport and safely land on 2 engines. Hence, not an emergency.
@@MatthijsvanDuin I wasn't saying the pilot should've declared an emergency. He knows his plane best. All I'm saying is that the passengers would panic.
ViVi definitely, I would sh*t my pants even if it could land on 1 and I heard that exchange😱
ViVi in all due respect... There can be engine failure without eMergency being declared
@@Dawnie-bi6qu I said this once already and I'm going to say it again.
I wasn't saying the pilot should've declared an emergency. He knows his plane best. All I'm saying is that the passengers would panic.
"he's not... embedded in the runway, is he?" i'm dead
Lila that’s one way to say it...
It is not as silly as it sounds. FOD (foreign objects - debris) is a constant problem in aviation. The woman in the tower is probably just reading from her training book as it were (something solid on the R way that won't move is going to be more dangerous than something that can be kicked aside by a landing wheel Tim Fidler NZL
It was that... pause that got me! ;))
More like did you run the cat over? LOL.
@@Tricia_K pause or Paws?🐈⬛🐈
"He's not EMBEDDED in the runway is he?"

It took me a second but I could understand what she was saying
Ninja Penguin that incident made the news in Hong Kong. It almost crashed into a hill so ATC said expedite climb. But the pilot doesn’t seem to understand what expedite means.
dangerouspeople1!!!!!!! If you listen at 3:20, you can hear ATC say “terrain ahead, terrain alert”
It’s not in the subtitles for some reason.

Planes can actually run on 3 engines.
they are used to it from the war
@@joshuamarshman101 everything is fine as long as you have 2 wings and one engine.
@@joshuamarshman101 yeah bet that pilot had some experience with flying Bf-110s over Britain, losing some engine power does happen a lot for them I suppose.

My black cat spent 2 hours on the runways at YYZ years ago. At least 40 people were chasing him. Apparently he cost the airport over 200k.
Priceless.

@Old Iron i'd be dying laughing if my pilot said that
@Old Iron You said tarmac... Who the hell are you.
@Old Iron k sorry if it sounded rude....
The problem today is that if you want a career in aviation, its costing more to get the hours and education than when you get paid to go commercial, so I wanted to become a pilot, but in the recent years its been getting worse and worse. That's why I chose medical to aviation. But if you go to my YT channel you will see my age and how young I am compared to you Thank you for the apology to my apology, I didn't mean to come off rude in the first place.
@Old Iron ... are we still replying to each other....
Tower : "Air China 428, expedite climb, repeat, expedite climb."
Pilot : Flipping through dictionary
Pilot: Climbing to 428.
Tower: ABORT ABORT
Pilot: Turning off engines.
Tower: Welp, no more egg rolls for us I guess..
3:09 was a pretty severe incident where a jet veered off course straight towards mountains.
The Chinese ATC quickly saw it and gave urgent instructions and saved many lives. The missing words are "TERRAIN ALERT" and "TERRAIN AHEAD". "EXPEDITE CLIMB" is a universally recognised aviation term meaning "CLIMB AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN"
PoliceGuy200 Well........It’s a sheltered gamer...............no surprise.
taat is leally lacist!
Funniest one I ever heard I actually read in “Flying” magazine years ago. A British Airways pilot was being scolded by a ground controller at Germany’s Frankfurt airport for not knowing his way around the taxiways. The controller, losing patience with the British Airways pilot, snapped at him: “Have you never been to Frankfurt, sir?!” To which the British Airways pilot calmly replied, “Yes. Twice, actually. In 1943. But I didn’t land.” Silence on the radio. Lol!
CLASSIC!!
Easy answer:
"Oh, so you are that [insert insult] who killed unarmed civilians?"
@@geisterfahreruberholer2171 Yes, rather like Germans did to the Jews !
@@bobrussell3602 is that what they tell you? That everyday Joe in his home in a city (or especially the women and children, men were at the front) killed jews? That civilians did that?
Wow, your propaganda at work, you brainwashed fool

Just another day for tower.

Welcome to FSX Steam Edition
@@alaskancabin7506 *falling star or something
Lol
We don't have an emergency, just engine failure..
Noooo, we don't want emergency equipment....
WTF! Does the damn engine have to fall off before he declares a emergency?!
@@garystewart2350 hes actually hung up about the terminology of it i believe. A singular engine failing is in this case not considered an emergency (mayday) but rather an urgency signal (pan pan). So yeah hes just being very specific about his status.
Hung up on terminology? Casual Filth I D says all you need to know about him. If no emergency declared there is no equipment staged so what happens if second engine fails on final approach? This is not a Greyhound bus getting a flat tire. Anytime there is a situation like this you always prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
@@garystewart2350 you just dont understand what this is about. its not about playing down a potentially dangerous situation its about following protocoll and using the correct terminology see wiki.flightgear.org/ATC_phraseology for details.
Also in regard to your question as to what happens if a second engine fails upon approach: nothing. the pilot does not consider the situation dangerous because the plane doesnt need all 4 engines to fly. it doesnt even need two. at the point of two engines having failed however im pretty sure he would update the tower and at that point its going to be a mayday call (and therefore an emergency).
And then the controller hits them with "ausgezeichnet" ("excellent" in German), lol
I'd be useless on these radios. Without the subtitles I can't understand hardly a word of what these people say.
Vyacheslav Lisiy It’s much better actually listening from the plane’s radio.
The quality of the recordings is pretty bad because the recording stations are not directly at the airport. Also, the antennas in the planes are way better.
You can thank George bush for limmiting our radio bandwidth
Vyacheslav, it is just a matter of practice. A lot of practice to be honest!
And as a pilot, you mostly expect what to hear in the next message, so if you just understand a few important words, you would know exactly what to do and what to read back
We were delayed 20 minutes leaving Havana one time, pilot eventually came on and said "Ahh, we've got goats on the runway, waiting for ground crews to herd them off" would've loved to hear the radio chatter on that one.
Robert Rushton A few years ago we landed in Orlando around midnight. As we exited the runway the pilot suddenly slammed on the brakes and announced “Yeah, we’ve got a 10 foot gator in the way so we’ll need to hang here for a bit”. Lol. After a few minutes the gator just waddled away. The crew laughed and said they were Florida based and had never had that happen before. Awesome story for my kids lol
Lot of jokes involving the word "Baa".
Everyone is talking about the Lufthansa not being an emergency despite the engine failure but the controller’s reaction (especially to the non-overweight landing) is what kills me.
“Not even that?!”
Regan 38 lol he was bored
Aw cmon! Not even a liiiiitle emergency??
He was wondering ... all other airline are overweight as its normal.. just we Germans keep holding up the rules
I loved the sarcasm
What made me burst out laughing was “No you can NOT descend.” “Alright.......Sorry” “NO WORRIES!”😂
Black cat 0001 you are cleared to takeoff
Cleared for take off black cat 0001

Welcome to Steam Edition
LAND THE GOD DAMN PLANE
Illuminati confirmed...
Reminds me of a Lufthansa captain who had just been told to loop around a British Airways aircraft at Heathrow and take off ahead of it. The BA captain was rather miffed and asked the tower why the Germans had been allowed to go first, the German captain popped up with, " We left a towel on the runway!" Much merriment all round for everyone listening in. I was a coach driver working airside so we had our radios constantly tuned in for instructions.
Egypt Air take off time was about 20 mins before British Airways on the Heathrow to Cairo route. I was flying BA and sat beside was an Egyptian, as BA pushed back EA taxied past. Later out on the taxi way we overtook the EA plane and the Egyptian asked why that would happen, I replied that the EA pilot did know know the way and was going to follow BA to Cairo. Man that did not go well and I wondered if I would be arrested at Cairo. But luckily I wasn't
Dont get towel joke
phoonjzc Germans known for getting to the beach or pool at holiday resorts extra early and putting their towels down on best beds to claim them for the day.
Years ago in Paris CDG we heard an Eazyjet complain a Lufthansa was taxing too fast... the controller was confused ( easily done in Paris they're a bit crap tbh) and stuttered on the comms. .... the Lufthansa pilot came on and ' YA YA No problem I went to school with Schumacher.' ( At the time Michael Schumacher was the most famous F1 driver in the world. )
@@davidmeiklejohn9800 thank you
When I was taking flying lessons, we had to do a night approach and landing at a tower controlled airport. We flew into Logan for a touch and go and were told to land on runway 4R. As we were getting ready to touch down, we heard, on the radio, "Logan approach, United 727, we have a little guy taking his sweet time on 4R, please advise." Logan ATC responded, "Roger United 727, take 4L." We also had to do a landing and taxi so we went to T.F. Greene. As we are sitting on the taxi way between two 707's we hear on the radio "TWA 492, careful ramping up your engines, you have a little guy behind you." The pilot chuckled and said "Roger, we won't blow him off of the pavement."
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for that!👍 Good story!😁
Just german pilots... Engines are failing but it's alright, no big deal...
They still had 3 good ones, more than enough!
@@ParkerUAS But who knows if the others don't go down also! (Unless they knew why)
@@squabtoast6812 , technically not impossible, but unless there was a fuel issue the likelihood of multiple engine failures is remote.
More than likely the crew elected to shut off the engine due to an abnormality (high EGT, high vibrations, low oil pressure, etc.) and they were confident the issue was localized to just that one engine. After all, if engine #2 develops an oil leak that doesnt mean the other 3 are going to suddenly lose oil as well. Really the only common thing is fuel and the bleed air system.
From the radio calls it seems like the crew had full faith in the other engines and their aircraft. Plus, they were descending so in a power off glide or very minimal power needed situation. If they had speed and altitude on their sides, the engines were just keeping the lights on and AC blowing.
@@ParkerUAS Yeah, I just wanted to say that you never know what can happen. And in case of go-around they would have a problem without engines;)
BTW thanks for explaining^^
@@squabtoast6812, no worries. As they were light and had 3 engines a go around and needing to loiter wouldn't have been an issue. Another engine out would make it a different story. And of course with all 4 out, there would be a declared emergency and a clear runway for them.
Pilot: "I land now?"
Tower: "no"
Pilot: "okay I land now"
Tower: "no do not land"
Pilot: "i land anyway"
Oh, herro!
No u do not land dummy
"I need more lemon pledge" 😂
"not emergency", "we don't need the equipment" - probably thinks "what are those americans are trying to charge us for?"
Sebastian Grygiel don’t know airlines that well but that sounds like the US 😂
Lol. That was funny. Costs like 600 for an ambulance ride. Imagine the invoice for 10 vehicles, probably upcharge for foam also.
@@xjcrossx 600? I was charged $57,000
Okay, so it was an air ambulance, but still.
everytime there is an emergency at an airport and the police/fire trucks have to come out, the airline gets charged for it.
"can we interest you in our no-blame damage insurance?"
I’m an aircraft mechanic and I heard a convo with with a south west pilot and tower while taxing to a gate and it went like this
Pilot: roger ground what’s that building to the south east?
Tower: uh that’s gonna be a amazon building
Pilot: oh ok thank you (whispers in the mic “their everywhere”)
Tower: laughing yea they are
Pilot: are they by chance delivering the materials by drone?
Tower: god I hope not
Pilot: ya but it would be cool if they did, it would be skeet with prizes

I bet the pilot ACTUALLY whispered, "THEY'RE everywhere."
Took too long for me to realize it was an amazon delivery building and not a building from the amazon natives in south america
@@themagicslinky1773 I was even worse. I thought he was using building as a verb, not a noun, as in a weather pattern that was building.

That german airliner is the best thing I've ever heard 🤣 he's got a busted engine but nah, he's got this, no need for concern, and he apologizes timidly for mistakenly thinking he could descend 😆
Well, a 747 can fly pretty well on 3 engines, and can still land safely with 2. Losing one engine while *not* overweight for landing isn't an emergency condition.
The tower dude on the lufthansa thing sounds like he is having a mental breakdown about the Lufthansa and doing it while smiling
7:57 "You sound like a toilet. Say again?"
Ahhhhahahahahaha
Autotune was on! :-D
I think he said "Get out of the toilet." As if it sounded so echoy because the pilot talking was in the lavatory instead of the cockpit, talking on a handheld radio or something.
Omg I missed that one 🤣

And Lufthansa 401 landed casualy with 3 engines, exactly on time, as usual. No no we just lost an engine, no problem haha, thats why Lufthansa is the worlds best airline
Nah, just engine failure. Just a flesh wound. It's Lufthansa, for god's sake!
You aint flying a military plane, you have ~400 passengers on board. If you screw up by NOT declaring and emergency and you catch fire how's that going to look on your tombstone?
@@llo7816 Well, I mean they were obviously okay. I doubt a pilot would want to risk his life just to look cool and not declare an emergency. They landed fine anyways.

3:09 For those who wonder that plane was about to smack right into a mountain since they kinda forgot there was a mountin there. Fortunately tower saw this and told them to climb asap. But the pilot was dam slow so it took a really long time before he did.
Good thing it didn't crash, and the pilots were able to do that last minute

The voice of the atc talking to the Engine failure pilot is too hilarious he sounded so confused
>"is the cat embedded in the runway?"
Good god lmao
I think it is because at the speed they're landing with even the tiniest oif thing in the way can crack the landing wheel.
Try looking up diameter of landing wheel and average incoming flight speed and it is easy to make the calculations how many rotations it does per minute.
And that was hilarious!
Are embedded cats a frequent problem on runways?😂
cats? no. But I know I've embedded at least a few rodents in my time as a pilot
@@user-re4hc7yf2m 😥
That's a new one and we have a lot of cats at our base. They are pretty good at staying away from really loud things that fly. Rabbits and the Hawks hunting them are another story.
Only for the cat!
A cat starts to be a problem if it's embedded not in the runway but in the turbine of your jet engine. Make sure you embed the cat in the runway before it embeds itself in your turbine.
"oh a black cat?"
I hope the rest of your day goes well 🙄

One of Kennedy Steve’s clips was a pilot reporting beanbag chair in 33L. After asking if there was “…a six-pack and a lava lamp too” he said he’d send a ground vehicle out to party with it.

"I like to wear it." 🤣🤣
My brother had the same kind of job as an ATC but for ships at Long Beach. He said a lot of captains of ships could have an attitude. I don't know if anyone remembers the "church lady" on SNL, Mike would say over the radio " well isn't that special'" and the captain radio back "did you say this was the church lady,? " Lol
I was not ready for the naked running man. I needed that laugh. If I had been at the tower that day, planes would have crashed because the visual inside my head of it all would have had me lose my composure 😩😂😭
Lol, the Lufthansa crew really had their Airport's SOP wanting to declare anything with an engine failure as an emergency! :D
The crew was probably like: WTF are they doing? are they even listening?
Lars Hei Gotten too used to twinjets!
I agree, they were so excited to declare an emergency and when the pilot said "no, we're fine", they got all disappointed !!
No one got excited, the tower assumed an engine failure meant an emergency since in almost all cases if one of your engines doesn’t work its best to get in as fast as possible before something else goes wrong.
1:32 the tower is like freaking out and laughing at the same time.
‘Oh! Not an emergency ok just eh... an engine failure but you’re not an emergency, are you overweight? They wanna know!
-not at all, not even that’
Those Germans are very calm with their situation 🤣
What a funny video! I was plane spotting at Mccarran International Airport, and turned into the ATC and a Pilot had to abort takeoff, and all I heard over the radio was “Uhm... there’s a balloon on the runway, and we can’t takeoff unless it moves.” Sometimes it’s so funny haha!
@6:09 "We have the best seat in the house, We'll watch the show from here, thanx"
It's Standard Boeing procedure not to declare an emergency with only one engine out on a B747 that has Nothing to do with Lufthansa or a "Stupid" Pilot.
To be honest a 747 without a heavy fuel load landing is not a real emergency with an engine out.
It's still funny tho
We had an engine go out on a TKO-SFO flight. The pilot assured us that there was no problem but we will need to land in HNL. And then the pilot sat in business class smoking row to have a cigarette 🚬
@The RightStuff No it actually is. The pilot landed the plane with 3 engines exactly on time.
The RightStuff only reason the plane has four engines is to get it off the ground. Their not going to attempt a T/O with an engine out but once they are in the air it’s not too big of a deal. Four engines is to accelerate the plane fast enough so it has enough lift to get off the ground. Once it’s in the air they don’t need full power to fly. They could stay in the air with two engines but they would be pushing it a bit plus they would have a problem because it would mean something was wrong with the aircraft if it lost two engines. On a aircraft with two engines it’s a bit more of a problem because it means if something happens to the other engine they’ve just been demoted from a plane to a super heavy class glider.
Was aircrew on a Navy P-3, 4 engine turboprop flying from Alaska to Moffett Field near San Jose. We caught a 140 mph jet stream blowing almost from directly behind us. When we approach Oakland Air control we were doing over 500 knots. Top airspeed is listed as 411 knots for the aircraft. When air control asked pilot to repeat type of aircraft and speed the pilot told him and the air controller said you have to be F@@king kidding me.
That was DEFINITELY Kennedy Steve talking to that Lufthansa pilot. One of the rare times he was working tower instead of ground. I know that voice well, and miss it!
Tower: Did you want to get exit the runway?
Pilot: Er nah eh we''ll watch the show from here
"...get out of the toilet..."
was just about to find another video and i heard that, so glad i did
Please explain :)
I think he/she meant the video was boring until that part appeared and he/she stayed.
@@KartrProject I think they meant that since it was at the end of the video they assumed the video was over but they're glad they stayed long enough to hear that.
I think that actually this person was im the toilet at the time he/she saw the video
“Not an emergency.”
“Oh not an emergency?”
“Nope!”
*a bit later*
“The emergency equipment is standing by”
“We don’t need it lmao”
That southwest pilot who wanted to watch the show😂
I was a fueler at KBUF, I used to have a scanner with earphones to monitor the tower so I knew when my aircraft were coming in. One evening an AA was on final and I heard the pilot say "Tower, going around, there is a dog running down the runway, we weren't sure but we saw his reflective collar..." Then I heard, "AA go around for the dog on the runway, climb to ... File missed KBUF due to dog, wow, that's a new one."
That Lufthansa 401 Pilot had me dying =))))
And people say German have no sense of humor...
And the Controller, Bless him, don't know who he was but the "Not even that?!" at the overweight landing check was freaking epic :))))
I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
I love hearing the transmissions.
Thank you🙂
Sarcastically: “Comet?”
waits...
“Meteor” (turns off radio for a minute).
"We have an engine failure, but no emergency.. its ok" .... Germans...
It isn't. They have four and the plane can fly on two.
For some time I enjoyed the ATC communications at Kennedy airport by a ground controller known as Kennedy Steve (now retired). ;-)
T'airn'KA at November give way to the Top 1% from the right, continue Papa, Tower is the tall building at the middle of the airport at 123 point niner, CYA!
I believe I'm stopped at the "N" taxiway waiting for a privet jet (1%) to pass in front of me (right to left), then I proceed to the "P" taxiway and switch to frequency 123.9 for takeoff instructions from tower control. If I've miss understood (likely) I may have been hit by a Speed-bird (my edit)? ;-)
As have we all!
Kennedy Steve, The Legend.
Kennedy Steve is a legend. He'll be remembered for a long time. I just hope he enjoys his retirement and that noone just says ground to him, because I'm sure he'd just reflexively say "yes plane!"
Tower: Engine failure?
Pilot: Yes, but we're not in emergency.
Thank you - this was the cheering up and humor I very much needed
Many years ago I was listening to Dyce ATC, Aberdeen and every time they finished a conversation they would say bye bye, I found it funny.
"Is the cat embedded in the runway?"
Embedded.
If it's on the centre line, can be used as a Cats Eye.
@@TheByard a "black cat" could genuinely mean a broken catseye.
Sounds gross, but you don't want a wheel hitting an embedded cat especially on touch down
Want to avoid cat pureed by engine
6:54 someone’s in a mood, the pilot already apologised and said he was already on the ramp that’s why he couldn’t make contact
"He's (cat) not... imbedded in the runway is he?" what a way to say "did you run him over?" :D
Loved the play by play of the naked guy running on the runway.
