ATC: Are you declaring an emergency? Pilot: are you deaf?

Cleared for 35R and later cleared for 36R -- strange? No, actually it is not. I checked and MCO has both 35 L & R and 36 L & R. Original instruction was for 35R which is 9,000 ft but later Approach Control PROPERLY switched the instruction to 36 R which is 12,000 ft and 200 ft wide. Possible single engine might not have reverse thrust. Good call by ATC to put the Emergency A/C on the longest runway. Of course it confused ME initially because I didn't know Orlando had all those N-S runways. The pilots did know that, so they didn't question it.

This confirms my long held view that many Americans simply cannot understand foreign accents.

I'm not sure if this will be answered and I don't know if I'll get an alert if anyone does. I've been following this you tube channel and other, similar ATC channels for a long time. But why are radio communications so bad? This is an emergency situation and I could barely hear any of the tower instructions as they were garbled mostly. This is an emergency aircraft. Are there any plans to enhance communications so it doesn't sound like someone trying to handle a short range radio? We must be able to do better. Thanks again You can see ATC for sharing all of these situations with us!

U.S. pilots seem to be getting better at using MAYDAY and PAN-PAN recently. Has there been a rule change or new guidance issued or am I imagining it?

Wow.... an aircraft in the USA utilising international distress procedures perfectly, right down to the repeat of the 'Maydayx3' every time he changed frequencies! See how smoothly everything goes when the correct distress procedures are utilised? Everybody knows where they stand and what to expect without ATC having to keep asking if they're going to declare an emergency. No time is wasted..... Well done that pilot!

Sounds like the crew member is young and a bit scared

You will never see this on the evening news but if it was a Boeing plane it would be blasted all over the news. This happens every week a Boeing makes the news and an Airbus get a pass when declaring an emergency.

This is brutal to listen to. I had to shut it off. There are so many controllers out there that do a great job. We were all new at something once, but geez.

Another Airbus with engine problems!, what is going on?

This was handled very professionally. ATC didn’t hound the crew with questions as they knew they were busy troubleshooting. Kudos to everyone involved!

Every single time I listen to these, the ATC has the pilots repeat both souls/fuel multiple times. Either it's important enough to listen and note or just stop asking.

Delta Airbus A321

Boeing no! Mom I'm right here. Sorry, force of habit. Airbus no!

smoke in the cockpit should elicit far more helpful and knowledgable interactions with atc than this crew received. these controllers need remedial training - for careers as far away from aviation as practical. appalling.

Jesus Christ ATL departure controller for f*cks sake!

Thanks for posting. Good example for new ATC controllers of the need to do a better job in handling emergency aircraft. Listen up and write it down!

?? Ground communication is a little confusing ! " LEFT on E, hold short RWY 4L . " Left on E will lead him to A, not to RWY 4L. ?!?!

“Standby for other information” means “I can’t remember what I’m supposed to ask” ……ATC gets worse every day

No Scarebus for me

Good grief. Ex controller here and it was painful to listen to this. Not listening to any of the info pilots are giving him ref the emergency, etc and the final vector guy is telling him ILS. These pilots are busy enough in the cockpit without ATC increasing their workload. Just embarrassing!!

Why does the fire department need to know people versus infants? Look for bodies guys cmon

Um that isn't a very communicative pilot. They tail struck on takeoff. She says she knew it. And requested an emergency landing with trucks rolling. All of this was pried out by ATC questions. Never a Pan Pan or mayday or an explanation on plan deviation?

Well, to be fair, most kids ARE hazmat, so there's that

with all the recent incidents of controllers creating dangerous situations, it's reassuring to hear a case of everyone coordinating an emergency situation while maintaining safe operating procedures.

Love that firetruck animation!

Bermuda is a nice place for vacation. But, please have mercy, incompetence of those people on the ground is staggering.

If I have smoke, fire and I’m on a mask, I’m not gonna take vectors all over fucking Atlanta to get back on the ground. That fucking crew should’ve been quicker to get on the ground. Lots of incompetence on both sides.

Report souls on board, infants, goldfish, number of vegetarians, US passport holders, fuel in pounds, dangerous goods 🤡

Multiple sites find same incidences. You are hearing atc approach real time transmission..How is this rip off? Don't like it; don't click it.

The controller freakin sucked.

Infants move you full emergency status

I think that controller should ask for souls and fuel 3x more again.

All questions asked by the ATC seems valid to me as an airline pilot. Fuel in time is almost standard for any emergency (Regardless of faa or icao) and hazmat/infant pax question is valid for fire fighting purpose. Notice they are relaying all information to the fire chief once the aircraft is on final. May have not been the most standard way of radio communication but hard to say that they are clogging the frequency with unnecessary questions.

Tower got the fuel weight wrong when talking to the fire chief. Off by about 27k lbs. No way you're getting from ATL to Denver on just 3k lb

I find one of the biggest hazards is ATC itself!

As a both FAA and EASA certified pilot i really do not understand why: 1) FAA ATC (and many ,not all, US pilots for that matter) does/do not use the internationally agreed terminology; It;s safer, always anywhere. 2) Support the flightcrew as much as possible - a potential fire in the cockpit is very stressful. No non essental questions 3) In a potential fire situation the plane needs to get on the ground asap, like asap. Of course there might be some conflicting traffic - but this plane has pririority over anyone else 4) one departure in front of you?? WTF? That runway should be free and ready to go - all yours 5) It could be me - but I sure get the impression ATC quality is way down from what I was used to in the States 6) Soon something will go terribly wrong on the ATC front in the US. Only a matter of time and at some point your out of luck. Of course same applies anywhere else. 7) Hope the pilots use the authority they have in these situations. They make the final descicion - not ATC - only when they really must do that of course... 8) A friend of me put his plane (a jet) down on the taxiway of a commercial airfield in Europe, even when ATC/Tower told him not to land and did not provide him with a clearance 9) Had a fuel leak and later it was determined that he was indeed flying on fumes - no action taken. ATC reprimanded and retrained because he told them he needed to land now. He was right. Anyway, crew was doing a good job, ATC absolutely amateurs - too bad - its ATL !

There’s a huge difference between what pilots stated 38000LB and tower 3800LB fuel!

Fumb duck controller. As usual.

Departure ATC asking to repeat answers too many times!

Any Hazmat or infants? Maybe just ask "are there any dirty diapers on board?"

Crew gets an A , ATC gets an F. It’s getting dangerous out here

So pilot says he wants to get on the ground ASAP, is on oxygen then ATC tells him to CLIMB to 11K feet??? Then he needs to get repeats on every single bit of emergency info?? Good grief...

I know Hartsfield is the busies airport in the world but was this controller on the first day at work. The pilot was told to climb to 11000 ft AFTER he said they needed to get on the ground quickly. Then he was obsessed with fuel on board, souls on board, and infants. I always thought infants were included in the SOULS on board. And, when the pilot asked if emergency equipment would be ready, the controller said We'll determine what you need. The pilot has already said there's smoke and fumes in the cockpit. My daddy always said where there's smoke there's fire. So ATC didn't have ARFF standing by to meet and follow that airliner down the runway until it was determined that it was safe to either taxi to the gate or evacuate the craft because there was visible smoke coming from it? Tower we have a number for you to call.

Why are they having them climb to 11 when the pilots have masks on?

How much fuel was that?

Wow, these USA controllers need to learn to listen. They may not have the opportunity to say again in an emergency.

In an emergency in particular the controller should not be asking for clearly communicated information to be repeated. Really shabby performance.

Not good!

Geez...can't ATC ever write anything down?! They didn't convey the fuel load properly.
