Aviation Audio Clips / Piper Malibu N52WX engine failure and forced landing near Austin Executive (EDC)

Recording of EDC TWR, audio has been time compressed.

https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/528096

Piper malibu N52WX departed San Antonio International (SAT), flew to Gillespie County Airport (T82) and flew several touch and goes and then flew on to Austin Executive (EDC), where this recording picks up the Malibu calling inbound to EDC TWR, then reporting a possible gear problem and requesting a fly by, then reporting some other problem and requesting an orbit above the airport but rapidly reporting an engine failure. Some post incident confusion about the exact location (if you are lucky enough to have radio comms to anybody please pass on your exact coordinates).

Hello Kevin,

Yes, all of the archives are stored in 30-minute increments. If you want to edit an audio file, the best program I've used for this is called Audacity. I use it all the time. You can find it here:

I hope that helps.

Hi,
If you want to trim an MP3 file from the archives (like to delete dead air and find areas where there are transmissions, is there a way to do that on either LiveATC or an MP3 program? If I understand correctly, LiveATC's archives have a minimum range of 30 minutes.

Thanks,

Aviation Audio Clips / Alaska Airlines jet hits deer on runway in Kodiak

An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 struck at least two deer—possibly three—while landing at Kodiak Airport on Thursday morning, damaging the aircraft’s landing gear and prompting the cancellation of all scheduled passenger flights for the remainder of the day.

The incident occurred around 8 a.m. as the aircraft was completing its landing rollout. Despite the unusual runway hazard, the plane was able to taxi safely to the terminal, and there were no injuries reported among passengers or crew. The collision caused damage to the plane’s landing gear, which will be repaired locally in Kodiak. In the meantime, operations were temporarily suspended, and passengers scheduled to travel to or from the island were being rebooked on alternate flights.

Aviation Audio Clips / Pilot safely lands plane in Jessamine County field after engine idles

(kudos to all on this one for sure, all ok !!)

UPDATE: July 21 at 6:30 p.m.

A pilot and passenger walked away uninjured after making an emergency landing in Jessamine County field when their small plane experienced engine trouble.

"Ma'am, I'll be declaring an emergency. My engine is almost quit," the pilot radioed to Air Traffic Control shortly before the landing.

As a result, the Cessna Super Skyline landed in a farm field off Keene Versailles Road.

"My engine has gone to idle. I'm looking for a field," the pilot told ATC.

Eduardo Ortiz witnessed the plane coming down unusually low.

"Yeah, it was pretty crazy, um, honestly, I never seen like a plane that low. I mean, honestly when I saw it I thought it was something wrong," Ortiz said.

"Obviously hear it coming down it's pretty pretty crazy kind of scary too, you know, because you're fearing for the people that are inside the plane as well," he added.

Jessamine County Sheriff Kevin Grimes clarified that this incident is an off-field landing.

"I don't know that we really call this a crash, it was really more of an emergency landing that the damage that he sustained was something on the ground. So it wasn't like he crashed the airplane," Grimes said. "He actually did a heck of a job in being able to get that plane down in this field."

Both people aboard the plane escaped without injuries. A Lexington Police helicopter quickly located the aircraft, though ground responders faced challenges reaching it.

"They were sending us drops on their phones and locations, but again that drops in the middle of the field and so we're the driveways and so when you're looking at Google Maps, you're, OK, well this looks like a driveway here, but there's not a driveway to where plane is," Grimes said.

"Logistically, this was a nightmare," he added. The pilot told responders he was traveling to the Oshkosh Air Show in Wisconsin. While they won't complete their journey now, the most important outcome was their safety.

That time of year ! The ATC's, some of the best, poetry in motion is what they do with the pilots,
and when things are flowing just as they direct, it's a work of art until..............they lose a runway.
nice job everyone !
enjoy

Aviation Audio Clips / SkyWest flight diverts to an Iowa airport after a passenger tried to open door

« Last post by KB4TEZ on July 21, 2025, 12:27:46 UTC »

https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2025/07/18/skywest-flight-3612-diverted-cedar-rapids-iowa/85275378007/

(center audio you only hear the aircraft, then the switch to KCID, not the best audio, but you'll get the idea)

A SkyWest Airlines flight was diverted to an Iowa airport, and a Nebraska man is facing disorderly conduct and other charges, authorities say.

Cedar Rapids police said they were dispatched to the Eastern Iowa Airport around 6:15 p.m. July 17 to meet a flight that diverted after an in-air disturbance.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement on July 18 that SkyWest Airlines Flight 3612, operating as Delta Connection flight, took off from Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska and was headed to Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan when the incident occurred.

SkyWest Airlines said in a statement to USA TODAY on July 18 that the man was an "unruly customer." "SkyWest has zero tolerance for unruly behavior as safety for our customers and crew is our top priority," the airline said.

Here’s what we know about what happened on the SkyWest flight. According to Storyful, Jonathan Spencer Van der Waarden was a passenger on the flight. He shared footage that showed the man being escorted off the flight.

“Safe travels out there folks,” wrote Waarden in a post on X. “Got diverted to Cedar Rapids because this guy decided to try and open the exit row door then fight the flight crew and other passengers,” the post read. Court records in Linn County, Iowa, accuse the passenger of shoving an individual and then threatening to kill him. He was also found with more than 40 prescription drug pills used to treat anxiety that were "not lawfully dispensed."

When responding to other social media users, Waarden detailed what happened on the flight and said the man was seated in the emergency exit row and "refused to follow basic safety protocols." He ignored the flight attendant's instructions and became "verbally aggressive,” the user wrote. As the plane was turning onto the runway, he stood up and unbuckled his seatbelt, and once the plane was in the air, passengers started yelling and hitting call buttons because he was "trying to open the cabin door midflight," the post read.

Records from the flight tracking site Flight Aware showed the plane landed in Cedar Rapids at 6:23 p.m. Central and left for Detroit at 8:12 p.m., with passengers arriving at their original destination at 10:35 p.m. Eastern "We were grounded for over 2 hours while police took statements from crew and passengers, then we refueled and finally continued to Detroit," the X user continued. "Huge credit to the flight attendants, the pilot, and every passenger who stepped up."

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / Pilots shoelace blamed after plane runs off runway at Carroll County Airport

« Last post by KB4TEZ on July 21, 2025, 10:10:13 UTC »

https://www.jordanmiller.news/2025/07/18/photos-pilots-shoelace-blamed-after-plane-runs-off-runway-at-carroll-county-airport/

(I've heard of a shoe string catch, but this is a bit different. )

A small aircraft ran off the runway at the Carroll County-Tolson Airport Friday morning after the pilot’s shoelaces became tangled in the flight pedals, according to Carrollton Fire Chief Shane Thomas. No injuries were reported.

The Carrollton Fire Department was dispatched to the airport just before 9:30 a.m. on a report of a plane that had veered off the runway and into a grassy area. When crews arrived, they found the plane leaking a small amount of fuel but confirmed the pilot was unharmed. The pilot told first responders that he had landed the aircraft successfully, but while taxiing, his shoelaces became caught in the rudder pedals, causing him to lose control and exit the runway.

The plane had departed from Maryland and stopped in Carrollton to refuel, officials said. The aircraft, described as brand new, was reportedly en route to the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh airshow in Wisconsin, where it was scheduled to be given away as part of a sweepstakes promotion.

Local authorities secured the scene, and fire crews mitigated the fuel leak. No other aircraft or airport operations were affected.

The Federal Aviation Administration has been notified of the incident.
