That was the cleanest emergency call ever. Already had souls and fuel when they declared themselves an emergency aircraft. Zero rush or panic. Strong work, Jet Blue flight crew!

[@oldNavyJZ]

In fairness, that goes with the nature of issue, which is more an administrative issue than a safety issue.

[@ShimrraJamaane]

@@oldNavyJZ except it was an overweight landing. Lost instrument redundancy and landing overweight is a safety issue.

[@oldNavyJZ]

@@ShimrraJamaane Good point. I understand it is a safety issue, but it is not the same safety issue as an engine fire, explosive decompression, loss of flight control, etc.

[@ShimrraJamaane]

@@oldNavyJZ I somewhat agree. Losing instrumentation redundancy is just as dangerous as an engine fire or decompression. Why? Because you have more than one engine (redundancy) in the case of an engine fire, or you have the ability to drop to FL100 in case of decompression. Loss of flight controls is a vastly more serious safety issue, I agree.

Excellent

So , what caused the failure ??????

[@gregdrmax]

The crew said “call you back in 2 minutes”. ATC wouldn’t shut up. That would be irritating.

[@ShimrraJamaane]

The silence has been edited out. The pilot did not say "call you back in two minutes." He said they'd call in two minutes if assistance was needed. ATC simply gave vectors and only asked for intentions about two minutes - accounting for the edited audio - after the mention of two minutes by the pilot.
Additionally, the pilots didn't declare emergency until much later. ATC was doing his job precisely as he should have been. Remember, the silence is edited out. Radio traffic wasn't this busy during the actual incident.

If you want emergency treatment, declare an emergency.
