I work for Allegiant. We have some really good pilots who know what they're doing. I have full confidence in them, but you have to realize it's the nature of the industry to have issues. Physics are against us and there are so many variables that allow us to fly. In more ways than just the aircraft, pilots, and weather. Patience is a virtue and if you have the mind set that you may or may not fly the day, or even time you're scheduled to fly when you've bought your ticket, it will save you the
to celebrate the safeness of this landing, the pilot should have done a go-around, a celebratory loop the loop and then flown upside down over the control tower before doing a lap of honour around Texas and then making a CATIII auto-land.
I love the MD80! Very smooth and exceptionally quiet landing, congrats to the pilots! This comment "Might have mentioned that there still is one other engine running..." was so funny to me :D No offence, but I think anyone who heard the captain saying "one of our engines..." could figure out that there is still one working. Even if someone didn't look at the aircraft before boarding or doen't know what an MD80 is, it could be figured out. :)
ARFF #3 is the Mobile Ventilation Unit (MVU) which would be used to keep smoke out of the passenger compartment if the plane had any sizeable opening or door. Obviously it was not needed in your case :)
aircraft can go to point b using only one engine. with two engines out. yes it can glide and can land safely all pilots are trained to save their lives. if they save their life, 100% i assure to you that you are safe and still alive.
In this vid. the pilot remains his coolness about the trouble. the way he deliver to the passenger is way too much cooler. see no one panic when the captain announce that one engine needs to be shut down due to developed trouble. two thumbs up!
@mboz38 DFW Airport was built on a prairie (northern part of Grand Praire) between Dallas and Fort Worth.. no trees and a steady breeze.. prime conditions for runways !
Thought the pilot did a great job...he seemed completely hinest and forthright, but very calming. As a pilot, I'd be thinking that there are a million and 1 things that could go wrong in that situation. Imagine being responsible for all those lives...
Great video. The pilot was really solid in his approach to the problem and made a relaxed announcement to the passengers which let them know that things were ok so no panic, great stuff, well done the pilot 10 out of 10
It was obvious one engine was still runnng. The truck that you didn't have any idea what it was had a big fan on the back to blow smoke out of the passenger compartment. The thrust reverser on the good engine wasn't used since it would create a torque problem
Wow, what a soft landing...bravo to the pilots...and @strayycats, to answer your question regarding the emergency vehicle at 2:34, that appears to be a mobile ventilation unit...as a firefighter, we use ventilation fans all the time for all sorts of things (except ours are about the size of a portable generator)...since everything involving Airport Fire & Rescue is bigger and badder, it wouldn't surprise me to see something with a ventilation fan that big
You have to compensate the engine that is failing with the rudder all the time. The pilot was great, good luck that there were no crosswinds, because u need the rudder to alienate.
Just imagine loosing an engine just a few knots after V1... believe me, it IS a deal.
True the MD-8x series CAN fly with one engine, but not for very long distances. The pilot sounded serious, calm and relaxed as he should be in this type of situation.
Didn't seem to be an emergancy landing. The plane landed at the correct destination with only a minor fault and the pilot was in a good mood for some reason.
Yeah no reverse thrust would have been used because it would be very dangerous to rapidly slow down on side of the aircraft because when one side of on airplane goes faster it turns, and in this case would off been of the runway :(
I have made a single engine landing in an MD-83 and used 1.3 EPR on the good engine. The dead engine reverser was deployed acting as a parachute. I didn't notice a lot of yaw. They had a really long runway at sea level and didn't really need reverse. They did a great Job. That is why they get paid the big bucks.
People have criticize the captain in comments. I thought he did good job and came across very calm. Very routine no sign of stress. Just another day, yadda yadda. Sometimes you just have to talk to people like you know 'em. Sometimes you gotta go 'folksy' ,as they say. T Not like the announcements from that DC-10 captain who ER landed in Iowa with no elevator control who's last words were to his passengers was. " Good luck !!' When your captain tells you 'good luck', you've got problems.
"Good luck" must have worked. The crew of UA 232 were heroes. Their performance on the flight deck that day saved 184 people.
Their performance on that day has been examined by all airline pilots, and has been developed into comprehensive Crew Resource Management training.
Before you poo-poo on these pilots (and DC-10 "Line Captain"), please realize that they did the best they could with what they had. And in the end, they saved 184 souls.
I can not agree more and I think that the captain did the right thing tell the passengers what was going on because if you think about it what would you to if you saw firetruck come after the plane and having no clue what was going on?
A soulplane announcement would be!: Yo wassup ladies and Gentlemen, fasten yo ass up cause we bouts to land this mo-fo right n front of your grand ma's house. look 4real one of the engine aint workin, but don't worry spider man will save us and bring us some KFC if you buck the **** down.
your captain speaking thank you for your coaporation ;)
good action taken by the pilot and luckily it went okay...i'm guessing no thrust reversers were used because if one engine did that, the plane would go off the runway?
No Sr, this alarm refers to the altitud setting, if u listen carefully you can hear it says = BAAAAHHHMM ALTITUDE!! = it sounds whenever you are 1000ft above or below the assigned altitude. The Gear Horn sounds like = BAAAHHMM LANDING GEAR = and is not this case! ;) cheers
I think the "No clue what this is" vehicle is a Foam Truck. Professional pilot. Calm voice helps make for a calm cabin. Engine out on an MD80? No sweat. Just run the good one harder to fly and land. Don't need thrust reverser on the good engine since 31R is better than 10000 feet long. Plenty of room to stop with normal braking. This was a very good video to watch.
Um The pilot was only flying 8 yrs? Now is that 8 yrs total, or 8 yrs in type. There is no AA Capt out there with 8 yrs of total experience. Maybe AE but not AA.
Most aircraft w/2 engines w/one engine out is really designed to still keep the plane flying in such in a emergency situation such as this unless if the aircraft physically loses an engine i.e.American Airlines DC-10 crash ORD 05-25-1979.
I disagree...It is only better if you like a noisier cockpit, terrible flaps 40 characteristics (-900s especially), crappy auto throttles, and higher ref speeds than a 777. I would rather take the L-1011 in LGA on a snowy ,windy, and slippery day than a -800 or -900. The MD is a lot quiter in the first class section for too! If I never had to fly a 737 again, I would be happy!
Passengers, crew and airlines prefer the 737. If the S80 was superior, Boeing/McD would still be building it, and front line operators would be buying it. Every aircraft has strengths and weaknesses-don't even get me started on the limitations involved in flying the MD-80. BTW, never had any issues w/40 flap landings on the 737- did them all the time. Stay below 310KIAS and the cockpit is quiet too.
Thats why I fly a 777! I will have an expresso with my steak! 727, 756,747, 777 are good solid aircraft...still not the L-1011, but I am glad someone likes the 737! Hey my Engine is the diameter of you fuselage! :)
I'm a 767 Captain- last time I looked a 777Trent engine's diameter is smaller than the 767 fuselage. Not that it matters (except to EXTWAPilot). I do agree with one statement- the Tri Star was a superior aircraft (far better than the DC-10).
DC-10 (and others) can still land even if an engine separates. The American 191 case was that the engine tore out hydraulic lines controlling slats and cut power to warning systems (ie. slat disagreement and stick shaker). According to the book, they had to slow down to V2 after engine failure, but due to no slats on left wing and lack of stall warning, the left wing stalled and the planed crashed.
Actually, that is too short to be a spare engine.. Looks more like an Arc spot light. As far as spare engines go, AA MX handles that, and they wouldn't wait for an aircraft near the runway.... Unless they were really impatient :-P
MD-80, one engine. No problem. No danger. That was NOT an emergency, maybe a priority landing, not an emergency landing. MD-80's, like all commercial aircraft can fly all day long with an engine out. They can even take off just fine on one engine.
well, hard to say, there is always a danger. for instance B739 has according to manuals limitations to fly up to 350nm with single engine running. I think that each airline has limitations or instructions to land as soon as possible to avoid potential dual engine failure. What I am sure is, if you a have a V1(2) cut - ENG failure after V1, you should do the emergency procedures (fly the aircraft, stabilize it...) and it is not considered to be as a priority landing afterwards...
You mean a 737? Yeah you always want to land ASAP if you loose an engine for safety reasons especially if you are carrying passengers, but its not an emergency & it is not a dangerous situation unless the reason for the problem can effect the other engine.
A friend of mine in the old days flew a piper turboprop cargo queen 4 legs all night long with an engine inop. Stupid yes, but its not really a huge danger.
V1 to V2 in an MD-82 is less than 3 seconds in most conditions.
I meant the time between V1(speed of no stopping but dangerous with an engine failure) and V2(speed where the airplane can be flown off with no danger with engine failure) is only about 2-3 seconds in most conditions in and MD80 series. Its a nice piece of mind.
The MD-80 series has gobbs of excess power. I have no fear of an engine loss after V1 and before V2. The running engine will just get 'firewalled' if that happens. No problems.
In short, At V1, we are going to fly in most conditions.
I know the V1 and V2 difference. I am not familiar with MD80. Well regarding the B739 the situation could be slightly different. If you have a full loaded aircraft and the weather conditions are not so good (crosswind, headwind etc.), there maybe a situation where the pilots may I say may make a mistake and then... I just wanted to say that flying with one engine op it is a non-standard situation....
wow. great video. interesting situation. iv flown on planes alot over the years but i dont think i ever encountered an emergency, except for a medical emergecey but we didnt need to divert anywhere or anything exciting like that.
u people are bastards. Freekin' amazing job by the pilot landing a plane on one engine, doing it safely, and effeciently, and, maybe its a small plane, but i think he deserves some applause. U people are stupid for not doing that.
Had they acted like it was a bigger deal, you probably would have heard us applaud. It shows how professional they were that no one in the airplane even felt that we were in danger. It was a very standard -feeling- situation.
The Md80 is awesome, quiet in the inside if sitting in front of the wing, has sweet sounding engines, looks really good and sleek, has an awesome safety record, and it's built by McDonnell Douglas. The best domestic short haul plane(other than the B717 and the MD90) ever.
I work for Allegiant. We have some really good pilots who know what they're doing. I have full confidence in them, but you have to realize it's the nature of the industry to have issues. Physics are against us and there are so many variables that allow us to fly. In more ways than just the aircraft, pilots, and weather.

Passengers, crew and airlines prefer the 737. If the S80 was superior, Boeing/McD would still be building it, and front line operators would be buying it. Every aircraft has strengths and weaknesses-don't even get me started on the limitations involved in flying the MD-80. BTW, never had any issues w/40 flap landings on the 737- did them all the time. Stay below 310KIAS and the cockpit is quiet too.

Thats why I fly a 777! I will have an expresso with my steak! 727, 756,747, 777 are good solid aircraft...still not the L-1011, but I am glad someone likes the 737! Hey my Engine is the diameter of you fuselage! :)
EXTWAPilot 2 years ago
I'm a 767 Captain- last time I looked a 777Trent engine's diameter is smaller than the 767 fuselage. Not that it matters (except to EXTWAPilot). I do agree with one statement- the Tri Star was a superior aircraft (far better than the DC-10).
bugmoto 2 years ago
DC-10 (and others) can still land even if an engine separates. The American 191 case was that the engine tore out hydraulic lines controlling slats and cut power to warning systems (ie. slat disagreement and stick shaker). According to the book, they had to slow down to V2 after engine failure, but due to no slats on left wing and lack of stall warning, the left wing stalled and the planed crashed.

MD 80'S are very dodgy aircraft like all McDonnell Douglas aircraft. This one landed smoothly. It could be American Airlines

faa requires all aircraft to be able to sustain flight and safely land with one engine.

Spare engine at 2:31

Actually, that is too short to be a spare engine.. Looks more like an Arc spot light. As far as spare engines go, AA MX handles that, and they wouldn't wait for an aircraft near the runway.... Unless they were really impatient :-P

1 engine can support the plane cool!! can 2 engines support a380?

I think the FAA requires all planes to be able to run on one engine only.

You're right... a dvd I watched said that a 747 is able to fly with one.

MD-80, one engine. No problem. No danger. That was NOT an emergency, maybe a priority landing, not an emergency landing. MD-80's, like all commercial aircraft can fly all day long with an engine out. They can even take off just fine on one engine.
flyboymd82 3 years ago
well, hard to say, there is always a danger. for instance B739 has according to manuals limitations to fly up to 350nm with single engine running. I think that each airline has limitations or instructions to land as soon as possible to avoid potential dual engine failure. What I am sure is, if you a have a V1(2) cut - ENG failure after V1, you should do the emergency procedures (fly the aircraft, stabilize it...) and it is not considered to be as a priority landing afterwards...

You mean a 737? Yeah you always want to land ASAP if you loose an engine for safety reasons especially if you are carrying passengers, but its not an emergency & it is not a dangerous situation unless the reason for the problem can effect the other engine.
A friend of mine in the old days flew a piper turboprop cargo queen 4 legs all night long with an engine inop. Stupid yes, but its not really a huge danger.
V1 to V2 in an MD-82 is less than 3 seconds in most conditions.
flyboymd82 3 years ago
Yes, I meant B737-900 (shortly B739). I do not get the last thing you wrote about the V1 to V2...
Paloboss1 3 years ago
I meant the time between V1(speed of no stopping but dangerous with an engine failure) and V2(speed where the airplane can be flown off with no danger with engine failure) is only about 2-3 seconds in most conditions in and MD80 series. Its a nice piece of mind.
The MD-80 series has gobbs of excess power. I have no fear of an engine loss after V1 and before V2. The running engine will just get 'firewalled' if that happens. No problems.
In short, At V1, we are going to fly in most conditions.
flyboymd82 3 years ago
I know the V1 and V2 difference. I am not familiar with MD80. Well regarding the B739 the situation could be slightly different. If you have a full loaded aircraft and the weather conditions are not so good (crosswind, headwind etc.), there maybe a situation where the pilots may I say may make a mistake and then... I just wanted to say that flying with one engine op it is a non-standard situation....
Paloboss1 3 years ago
the 350nm limitation is due to its ETOPS rating ;)

You're probably right about the priority vs emergency, but if i titled it "priority landing" nobody would watch it would they.

u people are bastards. Freekin' amazing job by the pilot landing a plane on one engine, doing it safely, and effeciently, and, maybe its a small plane, but i think he deserves some applause. U people are stupid for not doing that.
halofreak200715645 3 years ago
Its not that amazing, its a small aircraft and he actually had to shut down the engine on just the FINAL APPROACH. Not a very big deal.
gladanka 3 years ago
Had they acted like it was a bigger deal, you probably would have heard us applaud. It shows how professional they were that no one in the airplane even felt that we were in danger. It was a very standard -feeling- situation.

The Md80 is awesome, quiet in the inside if sitting in front of the wing, has sweet sounding engines, looks really good and sleek, has an awesome safety record, and it's built by McDonnell Douglas. The best domestic short haul plane(other than the B717 and the MD90) ever.
