  • Funniest ATC Air Traffic Control conversations from New York JFK Airport Tower and pilots from around the world. Starting off with a captain hearing strange sounds on the Tower radio "sounds like a small child singing Justin Bieber" and the usual between British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines banter at JFK Airport. Making the Funniest ATC video pure comedy and also insightful.

    The best one by far is the controller telling the two planes to figure it out. So they both agree to not move at all. Burst out laughing at that. Problem solved.

      According to legend they are both still there, now two months later and they are expected to remain there many years. After a few hours they both ran out of fuel. After a day and a half, passengers pulled the emergency exit slides and left. The rotting corpses of the pilots are still strapped into their seats, glaring at one another. Someday an overpass will be built over these decaying aircraft allowing the airport to continue functioning without either budging, as they will be there each refusing to move for 59 days, then 59 years. See Dr. Seuss's story "The Zax."

    I love the conversation where the tower kept telling the plane to move, the pilot kept patiently explaining that his engines were not on and asking permission to start them, only to be told he couldn't do that where he was and he would have to move, to start his engines. I think that ground controller needed a bit more training.

When I marked the tape and went to file a hazard report, we found out that he had an emergency that he did not declare. Luckily he didn't create an even larger one.

It can also be a problem for ATC, as any other aircraft taxiing behind an aircraft doing a cross-bleed start could get buffeted or damaged.

      @@mema0005 I'm not a pilot, but there's a mathematical principle that might explain it. The mass of an object does not scale in a linear fashion. The mass of an object is proportional to its volume, however, as the square cube law states, when an object undergoes a proportional increase in size, its new surface area is proportional to the square of the multiplier and its new volume is proportional to the cube of the multiplier. So, say an object is twice as big as another, but their proportions are identical; that means the volume of that object is equal to the volume of the smaller one times 2 to the power of 3 (so, 8 times more volume, thus 8 times more mass). Based on this principle, it's entirely possible that the massive 747 would require more than two of its engines to taxi if each individual engine isn't 8 times more powerful than a two-engine plane's half its size.

      @@mema0005 Besides what Max Savage said, different engines power different parts of the plane. What engiens power what depends on the make, model, and type of aircraft.
      It could very well be that that make of plane required 3 engines to power the brakes, hydraulics they need for taxing, lights, and etc. etc.
      All engines do not power all electronics, nor does 1 engine power everything that's important (incase of failure).
      At certain points in the taxi you can turn on or off certain engines, such as when coming up to the gate, however, if they were taxing out to the runway, they may need that 3rd engine to ensure everything is flight ready, and there isn't a delay on take off, as starting that 4th engine takes time.
      There is alot that goes into why it cannot taxi on just 2 engines, but this is the basics of it.

  • @sdingeswho
    @sdingeswho Před 2 lety +153

    I had to look this up, because I was puzzled as to what a “crossbleed start” is, as were many others…
    A crossbleed start apparently involves running up an engine that has been started with a ground-cart up to 80 % or so and then somehow some of the airflow is ducted through the wing over to the other engines to get them spinning fast enough to ignite them as well.
    Cannot do that with other aircraft close behind you. That’s why Speedbird 116 was so frustrated - he had two of four engines running, but really needed all four for proper taxiing, let alone takeoff.
    For that, he needed to do a crossbleed start, and couldn’t get clearance from ATC to get to an area where he could do this without frying the aircraft immediately behind him.
    I am NOT a pilot, and invite anyone who IS to jump in here and help me out! Thanks!
    P.S. This video is a scream, even if it’s difficult to understand for someone not involved in aviation, sometimes! 🤣

    • @intelfx86
      @intelfx86 Před 2 lety +16

      Correct. "Ducting some of that airflow through the wing" is called bleed air. It's a perfectly normal mode of operation, bleed air is used for air conditioning throughout the whole flight. But for a crossbleed start (when you take that bleed air and instead of pumping it into the cabin, you use it to get the other engine to turn) you just need a lot more of it.
      Just for clarity, bleed air is taken upstream of the combustor. So it's just hot compressed air, not exhaust.

    • @mrifixplanes1813
      @mrifixplanes1813 Před 2 lety +16

      As that is a British Airways pilot, callsign Speedbird, trying to start two engines via a cross bleed start with two engines running, I'm 99% certain he was in control of a 747-400. In order to cross bleed start, the running engines must be throttled up so they provide the required duct air pressure for the other two engines to be started.
      Throttling up the engines obviously creates more thrust and increases the hazard area behind the aircraft, and that is why he was not allowed to do it at the gate or on the whiskey taxiway.

    Classic conversations from my flying days in the early 80s.
    I'm coming in from the East into a low setting sun and they're flying lefthand circuits on runway 02 with a C152 doing touch and goes. Can't remember the exact exchange but ATC asked if I could see the C152, I couldn't and suggested I maintained 1000'. As I passed through the 02 centre line ATC asked if I could see the C152 and I told them yes and it was right underneath me turning finals. I'm damn sure they didn't know where it was.
    Same airport, same direction, similar conditions. Requested clearance to land and was told to expedite because, 'There's an F27 about three miles out!' That was bloody tight but I dropped it on the pan and got off at the first taxiway. ATC comment, 'Show off!'
    Flying through a military control zone I picked up the wrong railway line heading for my destination and got an, 'Are you sure you're following the correct track, because it looks like you just got on the wrong train here!'
    Flying my qualifying cross country between Bristol and Exeter I'm following the M5 motorway and went into cloud. I could still see the ground but technically it was IMC. Bristol ATC, 'G-**** can you confirm you are still VFR?' I'd been waiting almost a month to make this flight so made an affirmative reply. ATC, 'Are you sure?' At that point the sky cleared.
    I think anyone who has ever flown anything has examples of amusing ATC conversations. I once called up for taxi clearance and gave the wrong aircraft reg. ATC response boiled down to something like, 'Didn't you already depart about 40 minutes ago?'

      I had a controller tell me, "Expidites left turn, or you're going to have a T38 up your but." That would hurt. They were doing a low pass...150 kts.

    When I was a little boy, 1977 or so... I was on a DC-10 on the runway waiting to go out to the runway but we were delayed for the longest time... Eventually a flight attendant came walking through the cabin, checking each row of seats. She finally came to mine and my parents row. When she discovered me playing my small, hand-held video game, she asked me to turn it off, place it in my carry-on bag and not to touch it again while onboard. She explained to my folks that apparently my game was interfering with the radio to tower control communications! :-O Needless to say -- I never touched it again! Thankfully she never made it obvious to the other passengers either.... I suspect that I would have gotten a lot of cold stares from them! :-O
