Jazz Flight 531 had just departed New York’s LaGuardia Airport when the pilots reported a serious problem: they no longer had reliable heading information.

With the crew unable to accept normal heading assignments, air traffic control declared an emergency and began providing no-gyro vectors. Instead of assigning specific headings, the controller guided the pilots using carefully timed “start turn” and “stop turn” instructions.

Captain Steeeve reacts to the ATC audio, explains how no-gyro vectors work, and breaks down how the pilots and controllers worked together to bring the aircraft safely back to LaGuardia.
