Aviation Audio Clips / UAL1929 Runway Incursion After Landing at KMCO
« Last post by RonR on Today at 09:17:29 AM »
On April 26, UAL1929 had just landed on runway 18R at KMCO and was exiting the runway when the tower instructed them to "taxi via E and hold short of 18L".  The flight crew, on the other hand, read back "taxi via E and cross 18L".  This error was not challenged by the tower controller.  SWA5777 had been given clearance for takeoff on runway 18L and had reached a speed of about 110 Kts when the tower controller cancelled the takeoff clearance.  The Southwest flight crew was able to stop their takeoff roll long before they would have reached the United aircraft crossing the runway.  SWA5777 departed normally about 25 minutes later.

Aviation Audio Clips / AAL747 Diverts to KDFW with Hydraulic Problems
« Last post by RonR on May 03, 2024, 03:04:47 PM »
On April 29, AAL747 was enroute to Las Vegas (KLAS) from Miami (KMIA) at FL360 when the flight crew diverted to Dallas/Fort Worth (KDFW) possibly due to hydraulic problems.  They did not dump any fuel and landed overweight a short time later on KDFW's runway 18R.  They stopped on the runway so that the emergency crews could check out the aircraft after which they taxied to the gate on their own.  The attached audio picks up from the point the flight crew contacted Regional Approach descending to 6000 feet.

Aviation Audio Clips / A twin engine plane crashed in a field in DeLand
« Last post by KB4TEZ on May 03, 2024, 06:02:16 AM »
(Never did hear any audio from the plane, so what you will hear is another airport community come together as they searched and found the downed aircraft,
injured, but alive after it was located.)

A twin-engine plane crashed in DeLand Thursday afternoon in a field off Eidson Drive near State Road 11 at around 2:20 p.m., seriously injuring the 72-year-old male pilot, who was taken to the hospital as a trauma alert, according to authorities.

No one else was on board, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which will investigate the accident along with the National Transportation Safety Board. The plane crashed very near the DeLand Municipal Airport.

Where did the DeLand plane crash happen?
"It looks like it's some kind of cow pasture," Vicki Karr, public safety spokeswoman for the city of DeLand said of where the crippled airplane ended up.
The FAA identified the craft as a twin-engine Admore Aircam. According to a company website, the "AirCam is a twin-engine open cockpit experimental amateur-built aircraft designed and engineered with safety, visibility, and versatility in mind."

Aviation Audio Clips / AAL1263 Engine Failure After Departing KDCA
« Last post by RonR on May 02, 2024, 10:32:39 PM »
On May 2, AAL1263 (an Airbus A319) was climbing out of KDCA enroute to KORD in Chicago when the flight crew declared a Mayday after their right-hand engine failed.  They diverted to KIAD (Dulles) and landed safely about 15 minutes later.  The attached audio unfortunately does not include the approach and landing at Dulles due to any issue with the KIAD feed site at the time.

Yea, they actually stopped simulcasting yesterday.  The archives from yesterday morning should have it.

ZNY has been simulcasting the controller comms for ZNY86 (Atlantic Sector) on 121.125 almost certainly out of the Douglaston RCAG.

Thanks for the update. Checking the JFK3 archives from this afternoon and it sounds like they have stopped the simulcasting.

Overall review and more suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the new feeds Dave. Checking the archives from this morning and I see New York ARINC is still using 8825 as the primary CAR frequency in the northern parts of WATRS (now officially known as WAT airspace). So a nice addition. Although HF conditions aren't very good today.

Talked to a pilot friend a few weeks ago who flies the WATRs routes and less and less traffic is on HF these days. SELCAL checks and backup for emergencies. The rest of the comms are on CPDLC.

CPDLC is replacing a lot of ARTCC voice coms in domestic airspace as well. Any interest in decoding CPDLC messages on your site ? Maybe call it the LiveATC "Data Edition" ? There was a great website (Thebaldgeek) doing this already (VHF/HF and SATCOM) but he seems to have shut it down recently (not sure why ?). Airframes is good too, but they don't seem interested in decoding CPDLC messages (so far anyway). Anyone know of any other sites decoding CPDLC ?

Cheers,

Have some more receiver capacity now and made some changes. Still a work in progress. New feeds so far:

HF CAR-A 13297 NH
HF CAR-A 8825 NH
HF NAT-A 13306 NH

New HF model is SDR receivers only (combination of KiwiSDR 1 and 2 models) with a Linux-based client system running kiwiclientd.py (Python code). That system has been in operation for a while but a legacy Linux system feeding from a few analog receivers failed recently. No intention of resurrecting it right away. It changed frequencies on those receivers twice per day, attempting to follow HF propagation. With daily, seasonal and sunspot changes over time it was hard to keep a reasonable frequency change schedule up to date. Doing it all via SDR and over the LAN is a lot easier and more flexible. Also, fewer cables and lower power!

Still have to add some of the lost NAT frequencies back.

Overall review and more suggestions welcome. Too far away from the West Coast to think about Pacific frequencies. Perhaps someone closer to  the West Coast will get interested in feeding those.
