    A Fedex Federal Express Boeing 757-200 freighter, registration N977FD
    performing flight FDX1376 from Chattanooga,TN to Memphis,TN (USA) with 3 crew, was climbing out of runway 20 when the crew stopped the climb
    at 5000 feet reporting a minor issue requiring them to work checklists.
    About 15 minutes later the crew indicated they needed to return to
    Chattanooga and needed some time to run the checklists, no emergency was declared. Another 5 minutes later the crew reported they still needed time to bring the flaps down, then they would be ready for an approach. The crew reported ready for the approach another 4 minutes later and commenced the approach, advising they were having flight control issues but no assistance was needed. While on approach the crew requested to abort the approach advising they now had an unsafe gear indication.

    Absolutely amazing job by all involved. Stellar avaiting by the pilots and great communication with ATC keeping them informed. This should be used as a great emample of things done right all around and the outcome was the best possible under the circumstances. No major injuries and no fatalities is the best outcome for any avation accident. That landing looked really rough but also shows the incredible structural integrity of the 757 airframe. Truly amazing all the work that was done to help the crew come back in as safe as possible. This one will go on record for everything done right when a major hydraulic failure occurs. Aviate, navigate, communicate done near perfection. Awesome CRM by the crew as well. Thank you for doing such a great job putting this together in such a short time

    A couple things that stand out on these emergency procedures;
    1. The controller did a wonderful job by keeping the load as light as possible. He was the sole person on the radio, kept the radio on the same frequency on the same frequency, very plainly enunciated all communications.
    2. The pilots didn’t rush things, neither did they work themselves into a corner by burning fuel and out of best possible control.
    Well handled.

  • @syntaera
    @syntaera Před 8 měsíci +33

    Good job by ATC consistently prompting for if the pilots needed assistance. Sometimes task saturation can mean an emergency declaration is put off until the situation looks clearer - and then because it only gradually becomes clearer, the pilots forget they never declared. The gentle repetition will have helped loop the pilots back to being comfortable declaring the emergency, and remembering they hadn't yet. Flight control issues and an unsafe gear indication is worthy of a PAN-PAN call, and ATC knew it, and treated it as such. Professionals, all. Good work.

    A FedEx MD-11 experienced a thrust reverser deployment on climb-out from Toronto Pearson (CYYZ) a few months ago. Again, extreme professionalism from both the aircrew and ATC in handling the Declared Emergency.

      If it was a newer plane….they would fix it.
      Remember when a Fed Ex pilot went insane and tried to hijack a FedEx DC-10 Plane to crash it into Fed Ex headquarters? It on CZcams/Air Crash Investigations.
      I knew a girl who’s father was the lead mechanic for FedEx who had to fix it afterwards.
      Apparently there was blood EVERYWHERE. Ceilings, floors, behind controls, under seats, ext.
      Plus the G-forces generated by one pilot to keep the attacker off his feet (guy former fighter jet pilot) popped rivets, ripped counter weights off of flaps/ailerons, and other damage. Also pilots landed the D-10 hot and over weight on the runway.
      He literally flipped the plane sideways, almost perfectly upside down, and barber 💈 polled (almost broke sound barrier). This was after being hit in the head multiple times. 3 brain damaged ex navy men vs a martial arts specialist desperate to kill.
      DC-10 don’t make good fighter jets…..
      It was so messed up they had to rip out the entire interior and cock pit and spent over a million in repairs and renovations. They changed it from a 3 pilot to 2 pilot plane.
      All 3 attacked pilots survived, one almost bled to death (AK blood EVERYWHERE). One needed his skull reconstructed and all two out of 3 can no longer fly because of the skull trauma. One can fly single engine aircraft on medication.
      FedEx stepped and made sure those guys had good jobs on the ground as teachers/trainers since they could not fly anymore.

      FedEx705
      Pilot and First Officer were former Navy pilots and Vietnam Vets. Flight Engineer was civilian
      Attempted highjacker was also former Navy pilot.
      Anyone who belittles a DC10 around me gets a full rundown of just what that one did. They had flaws - anything designed by a human will. But that aircraft proved it's worth that day.

      I saw 2 USAF One 62 and one 65 years old Boeing KC- 132 Stratotankers squawking 7700 Last month one was back in Service 11 days later. 36 years old is not uncommon in especially in Cargo. AA run passenger service flights to Rome with 23 -25 years old 777,s . I don’t think this aircraft will be scrapped for age but probably from damage done with a gear up landing.

      I was thinking the same thing this morning. I got systems manuals to both aircraft types. I have been working my way through them comparing systems. My first guess is some kind of failure of the air/ground sensing. The no nose gear doors open was my clue. I had something similar happen on the EMB145 when I was a line pilot, just what it reminds me of.

    • @jacesobey6498
      @jacesobey6498 Před 8 měsíci +2

      @ryanreeves1429 I know the Boeing 757 would have had some of the same design features as the 727 it was supposed to replace. I think the story is that Boeing decided to make the 757 the same as the Boeing 767 with the same cockpit systems. Simalar to how Airbus designs their aircraft, allowing for pilot's to easily move up from the A320 family to the A340.

      I think that was due to a popped circuit breaker. This one seems to be due to hydraulic failure.

    The press called it a crash landing. A belly landing that no one is hurt is a landing, not a crash. Does not matter if airframe is a writeoff.
