Caught this the other night on the jfk ops feed. Put together the approach, tower, and operations clips.

Hi! Firstly, thanks for posting, but did you encode this MP3 in some strange way? Windows Media Player is telling me I need a codec to play it (Microsoft MPEG-1 (50) Codec), and I'm having issues trying to find it. Is it working okay for everyone else? I wonder if it's because I've just had to reformat my laptop and reinstall Vista?

Interesting catch.  Seems that everything worked out great with approach sprinting them right in.

On a partially unrelated note, I do believe this is the same pilot from a few months ago or so that had a bit of a disagreement about speed assignments with approach control.

All worked well except with JBU ops regarding EMS meeting them at the gate

Haha, yeah, I guess you're right.  I'm relieved to see that its not only my mainline's operations that are inept at JFK.  I guess it affects the entire airport.  I'm glad that out of all of the medical emergencies that I've had, none have been at JFK.  I have heard bad things about trying to get an ambulance to show up (30+ mins)

Cessna, how often do you have a medical emergency in the air?

Ha, well I'm gonna try not to jinx myself since I'm out on a trip right now.  I've had 1 true, declare the full medical emergency and get priority handling, emergency, and I've had a few "let's just get there as fast as we can before the situation gets worse" not-so-emergency medical emergencies.  But I've only had to officially declare once (now I guess I should expect to tomorrow one of my flights).

When I worked in the ramp tower for my airline coordination the hub activity, I had numerous emergencies that I worked from the other side of the desk.

I should have known better than to actually type that on the internet.  I though to myself as I typed it, ya know, I'm just setting myself up for failure here.  Alas, had to divert today with a full-on medical emergency.  Here's flight tracks of the diverted flight:

The chances of that happening!  Hopefully your ambulance was waiting upon arrival...

Yeah, everthing went smoothely.  We declared the emergency and ATC gave us direct to JAN and we were able to descend from 38000 all the way to the ground with no delays at all.  ATC took our passenger's information from us and passed it on to the paramedics on the ground.  When we pulled up to the gate (no more than 10-15 mins passed from the time we declared the emergency and the time we were on the ground taxiing in) there was an ambulance, rescue truck, fire chief, and 2 police squad cars waiting at the gate.  The instant we popped the door open, they all rushed on board to take care of our passenger.

Everything all worked out in the end (I believe she lived).  Only real hiccup was the flight attendants and a nurse on board (great how things work out, isn't it?) used our special emergency medical kit (kind of like a super first aid kit on steriods, and it even has steriods in it) and our emergency oxygen bottles.  On the ground, we had to have a mechanic come in from home to refill our oxygen bottles as they are required to be full for every flight (for just this reason)
