911 Emergency landing at Detroit Int. Airport. NWA Flight # 2691

Lol. Even worse you were flying a flight sim? II fly flight sims as well as real aircraft, but nothing is worse than being in the cockpit of an actual aircraft with an emergency, no matter how minor.

Even worse I was flying a Flight SIM of a Boeing 747 and had the hydraulics fail before landing San Francisco. I had to go around the Bay 14 times to drop fuel before landing. It was scary even on a simulator and it takes someone with a keen heart and calm demeanor to land the plane.

cual emergencia

[Weibkoln]

[decowalkark]

Oh lord mercy mercy that was scary...

[cazzeggetor3]

God bless the pilots

[Airsoftdevil666]

@supaderp those international flights carry more than enough fuel so they dont have to worry about that

[hyperkid321]

i miss northwest

[iceflyevents]

No idea where the rumour of "No Hydraulics" came from. If there were no hydraulics, the spoilers wouldn't have popped up on landing. What probably happened is ONE of the hydraulic systems failed - there are three on a Boeing 757 (Which is the aircraft you flew on by looking at the flaps).

[chase5029]

if there was a hydraulics where not working the flaps would not go down and he would not have muck control on landing.

[granaleo1]

@chase5029 flaps are mechanically driven not hydraulic.

multiple systems covers airplanes so he probably lost one system out of three probably... and that one system must of been the one that works the steering among other things.

[IhsanFarisi]

if that plane SUFFER from a hidralic failure...why did teh plane having all the control

@BabyBBB01 This was on 9/11 and there was a leak of some sort.... I would try reading the description next time

[BabyBBB01]

WHAT CAUSE THE EMERGECY LANDING? IS THAT SOMETHING GOING ON WRONG

[familyguy958]

airlines are so reluctant to dump fuel, the jetblue flight that circled LAX for 3 hrs is also ridiculous,

[Eagle737]

@familyguy958 ..... a lot of aircraft don't have the capabilities to dump fuel... we must burn it off and the only way to do that is to keep flying (we only do that if the situation allows for it and would be safer for you otherwise we will opt to land overweight)

[igneousrocklad]

@familyguy958 A320's don't have the capability to even dump fuel... Lots of planes don't have that feature... Big planes have it because they carry large amounts of fuel and in a emergency situation they don't have hours to circle around to burn off fuel..

[MultiPwnager]

what is the enmergency? -.-

[pete5668]

good thing they had AAA lol

[to88he]

There ar several hydralic systems. one of them might have failed.

[esh1]

if there were no hydraulics, flaps and speed brakes wouldn't extend. They might have been losing hydraulics fluid....
