Aviation Audio Clips / Re: Citation N666DS crashes short of KMYF

Thanks for that.  I first checked the approach frequency for KMYF (124.35) and found the calls, but it never occurred to me that they would probably be combined at that hour (duh! - it was 3:30am PST).  Thanks for setting me straight.  I have posted a new clip with both sides of the conversation - makes more sense now.  Still no hint of any problem...

although you can't hear the pilot, only the controller

You can hear the aircraft on the SOCAL 119.600 archive.

Hello people!

Thanks for the person who made LSGG back online in 2021!

We still don't have news about remaining missing frequencies, some examples :Apron (121.855), Ground (121.680), Tower (118.7), Final (120.305).

Looking forward to be able to hear them again

Aviation Audio Clips / Citation N666DS crashes short of KMYF
« Last post by Rick on May 22, 2025, 16:32:41 UTC »
A Citation jet crashed into a San Diego military housing neighborhood on Thursday morning, killing multiple individuals on the plane.  In the audio, N666DS checks in with SOCAL and other than some discussion about the weather, nothing out of the ordinary (although you can't hear the pilot, only the controller).  Eventually SOCAL clears him for the approach and he changes frequency to KMYF tower (which was closed) and you hear his CTAF call on a 3 mile final, then ... nothing.  No hint of anything wrong in any of the audio.

My condolences to friends and family of those involved.

The server for KPDX Tower/Ground/ATIS may go down a couple of times while I attempt to find a better location that is farther away from some new electronic equipment that is causing occasional strong interference.

Aviation Audio Clips / Re: DAL876 Returns to KATL with Smoke in the Cabin

(Here's a follow up to that)

After a Delta flight made an emergency landing in Atlanta in February, a maintenance crew found there was barely any or possibly "no oil visible" in the aircraft's right engine, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report released Wednesday.

Delta Air Lines Flight 876 was bound for South Carolina after it took off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Feb. 24. Not long after the plane was in the air, "possible smoke" started filling the flight deck, the Federal Aviation Administration said at the time.   According to the NTSB's preliminary report, flight attendants in the front and rear of the aircraft all noticed smoke coming through a door and "coming out of all the vents" on takeoff. They tried to alert the pilots but didn't initially get a response.

The lead flight attendant, who said the smoke was so thick "that he was unable to see past the first row of seats," knocked on the cockpit door, the report said. That's when the pilots also reported seeing smoke rising from the floor at the back of the cockpit and hearing the flight attendants contacting them.

"They donned their oxygen masks and initially delayed responding to the flight attendant calls, as the captain focused on flying the airplane while first officer declared an emergency with air traffic control," the NTSB report said.

The flight eventually landed safely and nearly 100 passengers were evacuated, the report said.   When maintenance personnel performed an examination of the aircraft following the incident, they found "no oil visible in the sight glass of the right engine reservoir," which indicated that the oil was empty or nearly empty, according to the NTSB report. The Boeing 717-200 airplane was equipped with Rolls-Royce engines, the report said.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the right engine oil reservoir was in that state before takeoff, and the NTSB's investigation is still ongoing.

PORTLAND, Ore. — An Alaska Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Portland International Airport on Monday morning after experiencing a tire failure during departure from Chicago.

Alaska Airlines Flight 413, en route from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Portland, sustained the tire failure during takeoff, according to the airline. Flight and maintenance crews determined it was safe to continue the approximately two-hour flight to Portland.  As a precaution, pilots declared an emergency landing to ensure additional support was available if needed, the airline said. The aircraft landed safely at about 9:20 a.m. and a couple parked in the cell phone waiting area saw it come in.

"Once the airplane came down  and landed and it was the only one landing on that runway, we saw two more fire trucks with their lights on coming from the other side," said Pam Dickey.  "We just watched it, nothing was on fire no smoke, don't know what was happening to it."

The Port of Portland said PDX Airport Fire & Rescue was dispatched at 9 a.m., indicating the tire failure occurred during departure rather than on landing.

"When you have some kind of a irregular thing happen to you, you want to make sure that you have all the the safety bases covered. So that's kind of standard to have the equipment standing by," Elden Ferris, a retired commercial airline pilot from Vancouver, told KGW. 

The aircraft is being evaluated by Alaska Airlines maintenance technicians.

"While this incident is a rare occurrence, our flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios," Alaska Airlines said in a statement. "We apologize for any concern this experience may have caused."

Data indicates airliner tire blowouts or "bursts" are relatively rare, occurring in approximately one in 10,000 takeoffs, and in approximately one in 100,000 landings.  It is far more rare for there to be any incident caused by tire bursts as the vast majority of planes experiencing a tire burst land safely.

Well, yes, obviously pressurization issues, just nothing was mentioned as to what might have caused it (cockpit warning indication, etc.)

Aviation Audio Clips / UAL2012 Oxygen Masks Deploy Descending into KDEN
« Last post by RonR on May 21, 2025, 14:00:19 UTC »
On May 17, UAL2012 was descending into KDEN when the flight crew declared an emergency.  They told ATC that their oxygen masks had deployed but the exact reason for the deployment was not mentioned in the attached audio.  The deployment occurred while they were still taking to Denver Center; no audio is available from that ZDV sector.  The aircraft landed safely a short time later.
