Air Traffic Out Of Control – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, we go to Salt Lake City where two Delta airlines planes have a slight mishap on the tarmac.

A Delta 737 preparing to take off for Santa Ana, clips the tail of another Delta Airbus A320 with its wing tip.

Both aircraft sustained damage and had to return to their gates.

Costly mistake for Delta.

In this episode, a Delta Airlines flight leaving Detroit for Amsterdam is looking to make an emergency landing.

For an odd reason.

The pilot of flight 136reported to the tower at JFK that onboard meals were spoiled, resulting in some passengers becoming ill.

The pilot requests to land in New York to have the food issues remedied and get several passengers medical assistance.

Not a great look for Delta during a very busy travel time.

This is a 'Go Around' of one of our favorite ATOOC episodes...Going Rogue.

This is such a wild recording that it was worth a second release...

~~~

This is a special episode of Air Traffic Out of Control, featuring one of the craziest ATC recordings ever captured.

In 2018, a man named Richard Russell who was a ground service agent for Horizon Airlines working at Seattle Tacoma Airport figured out how to operate a plane, with no known aviation experience, and stole one of the Horizon aircraft for a joy ride as it sat on the runway in maintenance position. 

Listen in on the (barely believable) ATC recording.

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, we have an unbelievable recording for you.

A small Bonanza aircraft is attempting to make an emergency landing at Lake Tahoe airport, but it can't make it.

Luckily, a US Army King Air is nearby and monitors the situation to keep an eye on the plane.  As the Bonanza lands in the lake, several vessels spring into action to help.

Both people on board are unharmed in the incident.

An onlooker actually captured the video of the plane landing in the lake. You can watch the video by checking out this link.

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, United flight 2664 from San Diego bound for Newark radios the tower with an emergency.

Unbelievably, a passenger's laptop battery has caught fire.

The pilot requests to return to the airport immediately to have the injured passengers taken care of.

If you were ever wondering why airlines don't want you to check lithium ion batteries...This is why!

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, a Frontier Airlines Airbus 319 departs Phoenix bound for Orlando when the pilots radio the tower.

They have had to shut down the right side engine following the initial climb and are asking to return to the airport.

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, we have an odd one.

A massive Boeing Dreamlifter has landed in Kansas.

But at the wrong airport.

The aircraft was bound for McConnell AFB but actually landed at nearby Beech airport...about 9 miles away. Oops.

The tower at Beech is closed so the pilot tries to figure out his next steps.
