First clip I'm posting. Downloaded from the archives long ago, but I've only now installed audacity and edited this file. The original sequence lasted about 6 minutes, I shortened it to 4.
The controller seemd to be amused about it...
Hope you like it.

"Tower, stand by, gotta run outside, be back in a min..."
Very nice
-
Oh thats funny as hell! 8-)
-
You gotta love those archives. They are the best!
-
that is a classic... that seriously made that controllers day you can tell
-
thats an awesome clip!
-
So how exactly would he get outside? Do they go get a set of airstairs, or does he open the window and throw a rope out, or what?
-
The ATCO is dying of laughter. I'd still like to know how he gets outside...the 340 doesn't have aft airstairs or anyting
-
Getting out isn't the problem. It's the getting back in that may prove to be a bit difficult...
-
Hahahahaa
Great controller!
-
Not sure of this type of equipment, but some large aircraft have a way in and out of the cabin or cockpit thru the nose gear well down a small ladder.
What a dedicated crew. Most would probably just go back to the gate and waste more time and money! Probably not the safest thing to do walking on an active taxiway with live engines.
-
Hey was this in Jfk or Bos, when I play this it says in the song info that it is "KBOS-Boston Tower" but the topic says jfk and the controller does give instructions to position and hold on rwy 31l which is a jfk runway, which adds to my confusion. just pointing that out. :?

So true...this pilot was not messing around at all. If its as simple as closing a hatch though, I'd probably man up and do it myself too...but then again i've never walked around in the middle of a 31L or 22R lineup!

Hi,
This was JFK. Just to avoid doubt: in the beginning the controller also says "Lufthansa 401", which is a flight (number) from JFK to Frankfurt.
Noticed the song info, too, maybe this is somehow due to my "first steps" while exploring audacity...
-
No wonder LH's on time performance is incredible!! Simple problem.... simple solution without going back to gate....
-
Has anyone heard the relatively new controller at Kennedy? She's a bit humble and seems like a rookie
-
This is a great clip. lol. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the clip, Timmy.
Could you let us know when exactly this took place?
Thanks

... been a while
cheers timmy

So they left the gate with the door open, what would have happened if they took off with it open.
-
I don't think they left the gate with the control panel open. Seems more like the panel hadn't been closed properly before they left the gate and then opened by itself during taxi, which is where they probably got the warning on their displays.
-
Funny, but why didnt they have the guy in the car close the door? It would have been much easier.

Does the car ever get there?
As far as i remember the JetBlue confirms the hatch is open and we don't hear from the car again
-
From what I heard, the car got there and the guy in the car confrimed that the hatch was open. Because they were talking back and forth about where that hatch is located. And then, I think, the car left.
-
Well, what would have happened if it came open in flight.

I would not know... I guess that the pressure gradient over the wing would keep a door at the underside of the wing pressed closed.
When the door would open during take-off, it could get ripped off the plane, causing minor damage to the plane, increasing fuel consumption due to worse aerodynamics, etc. The door would likely end on the runway and need to be cleaned up to avoid accidents with planes using the runway later.
For planes with rear-mounted engines lost wing parts could get ingested by an engine, causing loss of the engine.
-
The controller sounds like a guy who used to work at ORD. He always sounds
like he's having a good time...
-
So? Did he fix it?!!
-
any a340 drivers in the forum...care to tell us how the heck he got in and out of this airplane? i'd assume nosewheel passage
-
Yup, on the A330/340, there is an extendable metal ladder in the nose wheel shaft, via which you can climb down to the tarmac.
-
That controller sounds awesome.
I love this, after he tells that American with the problem to cross the runway to take care of whatever issue they were having:
"Northwest 1919, it looks to the untrained eye like you'll be next!"
-
Ya can tell he's the ORD guy!
-
Still dont see why doesnt the pilot do it at gate
-

Because getting out of line at Kennedy would take a lot of time trying to get back to the gate. Then, once the tiny little door was closed, you'd probably have to refuel and get back in line, at the rear of a 2 hour+ line. I don't blame the guys for just jumping out and doing it themselves. I have done the same thing.
-
I'm sure you didn't exit via the nose gear well... ;)
-
Could someone else re-upload this file? It doesn't seem to be working now.
-
Does this remind anyone else of Yurie in the movie Armagedon? "I am stepping outside!"
