Blown Tire at KJFK during evening rush hour
« on: March 10, 2007, 03:58:54 AM »
So this was a fun night at Kennedy, 3/1/07 around 2300Z.  Our favorite entertainer Arnie was manning the 13L and 22 arrivals while a second tower controller was handling arrivals and departures on 13R (hence the cut off radio traffic in this shortened clip). 

Right when things got busiest and the second controller advised 13R departures of a traffic jam, a waiting aircraft reports a popping sound and smoke after Delta 412 lands on 13R nearby.  The result? => "It's gonna be another one of those nights guys..."

I left some of Arnie in the beginning as introductory material to show you the busy-ness and also because...well, you'll see.

Oh, and at the very end of the clip, after the problem is resolved, somebody chimes in with a perfectly understandable question...see if u can catch it.

P.S.: my first audio post

Good Stuff.  Congratulations on your first audio post. 

It's nice to hear true professionals doing a great job and having some fun too.

Must admit I have some sympathy for international crews trying to understand the rapid-fire instructions from KJFK ATC.  I thought it was funny about the first controller's comments he didn't understand a particular pilot's transmission because I could hardly understand what the controller was saying.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, really like that one too, especially the end. Hilarious.
He could as well have asked "Arnie, are you ok?"

hey check out this picture I found.  NYC departure and arrival aircraft movement.  You can see that they were using the Canarsie approachs 13 L/R to JFK and from each airport you can see the different departures used in aircraft sequencing (the clearance issued climb) for entrail restrictions.

I think that just like it has been done for the Boston Tower for John and Charlie, there should be a tribute to Arnie at JFK because he is just too much. Never fails to make me laugh.

Does anyone have another recording of this clip? For some reason, it is not working for me. Thanks

Very good catch!!! This has got to be the clip of the year. All great examples of teamwork... Not to mention that Bravo clearance by Arnie was NUTS!

I must say that I try to stick to prescribed phraseology and use a callsign to begin a transmission, but... that was hysterical.  He did a good job.

Did anyone actually understand what he said.

I'm not from NYC (thought I'm from BUF), and i don't hear fast talking controllers often. However, if you really hunker down, even on the first time, you can understand everything! Amazing what listening does!  ;)

Ya gotta fly down here to experience it for yourself.  Try listening to Kennedy TCA on a busy day, it's absolutely incredible to listen to.

does anyone else think that Arnie's partner in the tower sounds like Alan Alda?

If I didn't know Howard Stern was busy with his XM radio gig, I could swear it was him.

I was hoping the clip would be longer because I was hoping the controller took the opportunity to tell the Quebec line, "Gentlemen, start your engines!"  LOL     after his little 'jack it up, get 4 fresh tires and a coat for the driver in 14 sec" comment :-D

haha trust me...if he had said that, it would have been included.  They kind of all figured out when they should startup and the controller changed shortly after the runway opened up again so no go with the start your engines.

Imagine standing near Quebec if they were all to simultaneously turn on their engines, though...can only dream

To an unsuspecting pilot...the same could be said to him at the beginning of the clip.

The controller who gives that chopper the amazingly fast bravo clearance...anybody know when and what position he's working these days? 

I hear him on clearance once in a while but I never enjoyed JFK ground and tower as when he worked it all the time.

someones gotta know
