American Airlines 1236 loses right engine after take ATC recording

[thediggyk]

@apox555 LAX wasn't their destination. They are going to LAX because it is close by, has more runways, and is easier to get to then to come all the way back around to the departing airport.

[apox555]

@thediggyk I see, then it makes sense. Was kinda wondering if he declared an emergency and then continued cause the compressor stall wasn't that serious. So I was like; Why did he declare an emergency then :P

[1988Goldwinger]

The Pilot reported a Compressor Stall. For those who are not familiar with Jet engines-this is an equivalent to an engine "Backfire" in your car, but with much more force. Basiclly, the engine airflow is disrupted & the airflow tries to reverse direction. Unfortunatly, this can cause internal parts of the engine to bend in the wrong directon. It is SOP (Standard Operating Proceedure) to get back on the ground ASAP. The took off from "John Wayne" (Orange County) Airport-quick jump to LAX.

[apox555]

I don't get this. They are declaring an emergency but are continuing enroute to their destination?

[thebadguychico]

@apox555 they are just going from santa ana ca to los angeles. takes 30 minutes to drive the from sa to la.

AA 737-800s don't do the alley oop out of SNA; they do a normal climb profile, except for reduced power from 800 feet until the beach, followed by normal climb power followed by flaps up on schedule. Compressor stall is not much of a deal - reduce power until the burps stop - if they don't, shut 'er down.  Either way, divert to a longer runway (SNA at 5700 feet is shortest in the nation for big boy jet service) for landing. The 7-3 flies just fine on one engine.

[beeroosterm]

Just a compressor stall. No big deal

[gatornation1993]

compression stall, soo i assume they eventually regained thrust

[72nova2]

Nice Job ATC, Some passengers do care!! sound like high stress job.Keep up the good work.

[jlj025151]

These guys got grapes man....

[pushitgently001p]

Compressor stalled

[xhidingbhindmysmilex]

um yeah i dont hear shit? either fix this video or take it off totally.

[dadojedado]

@xhidingbhindmysmilex nothings wrong with the audio, you just don't have pilot ears.

[mharrop396]

did they ever find it?

[congaleader2000]

That is not a good place to lose an engine. SNA calls for a reduction in thrust right after take off!!! Kudos to those pilots

[futurepilot26]

@congaleader2000 good point!

[sr310gulur226]

Hatsoff for their command over their ability, unshakeble voice with absolute professional even extremely dangerous situation.

I for that ONE reason admire these Pilots of all airlines, they know their ability and the passengers on their back in passenger lives in cabin in their expert hands.

That is great.

Capt is a little busy? Ya, no kidding.

[w67]

thanks guys, good job !

[jfghjfkfjk]

subtitle would be nice

[ballm0use]

@jfghjfkfjk wtf no sound on right speaker

[flyboy8501]

@jfghjfkfjk well, after years of hearing air transmissions you will understand everything they say.

[audiracer85]

I practice at KSNA.. when exactly was this??

[gabeuop79]

Amazing how calm they are. So professional.

[kazzsaru]

have to be. Once you panic, its all over. Training helps a ton.

[beergut111]

yes, and so little paid for it too.

would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon if you had to have triple bypass?

[packerfan084]

@beergut111 Not these guys... your thinking of regional pilots man. These pilots get paid pretty well

[beergut111]

@packerfan084 not really. maybe 20 years ago. now they dont get paid near as much as they should.

[packerfan084]

@beergut111 A 3rd year first officer for american airlines makes $100,000 i dont know about you. But to me thats alot of money.

[beergut111]

@packerfan084 more like $78,000....and a 100k per year isnt a lot when your away from home 21 days a month.

[packerfan084]

@beergut111 You arent always away from home 21 days a month. and second 100,00 dollars is a verry good amount of money. There are family's that cant make 100k even when they combine their income.

[beergut111]

@packerfan084 100k is good....but a 3yrd FO at AA dont make that. Unless hh/she is gone 21 days...llol

[packerfan084]

@beergut111 well i guess your right there. But what i am trying to say is if they fly their 1000 hours in a year then they would be making 100k

[beergut111]

@packerfan084 see there?, 1000 per year is WAY to much working hours. you should never be at work more than you are at home.

[packerfan084]

@beergut111 I agree with you there but it is just a sacrifice that airline pilots take with their lifestyle.

[beergut111]

@packerfan084 yup, that is why it dont pay well being an airline pilot. fractionals at least pay well. for a smaller plane.

[ShelbyGT500TT]

@beergut111 huh there not paid little they get paid from 33,000 to 300,000 a year that some GOOD money!

[beergut111]

@ShelbyGT500TT you dont understand. there isnt an airline pilot in this country that makes 300k per year....the top 5% MAY get up to 250k....and thats at fedex or UPS....not a passenger carrier.

on a average flight BOTH pilots in your cockpit MAY make 75K total. you get what you pay for.

[maxou5757]

@beergut111 Hope you are kidding. A captain at American Airlines or any other airline will earn from 100k up to 200k a year. The co pilot will earn from 50k up to 130k a year.

[beergut111]

@maxou5757 yeah, after working there for almost 20 years they may get to 160k. pilots have taken pay cut after pay cut because of threats from management. in the end, managemnt pays themselves huge bonuses. its sad really. you're numbers are way off.

[maxou5757]

@beergut111 My numbers arent way off. I actually have access to all north american airlines payscales. Go to airlinepilotcentral (dot) com and you'll see.

[trabang]

@gabeuop79 Pilots,ATC, and trauma sureons are the calmest in the most stressed situations!
