17:12Now PlayingAmerican Airlines Flight 2952 had just departed Chicago O’Hare for Boston when the crew reported a failure of the aircraft’s left engine and declared an emergency.
The Airbus A319 stopped its climb, returned to O’Hare, and landed safely roughly 35 minutes after departure.
In this episode, retired airline captain Captain Steeeve listens to the ATC communications and breaks down what the pilots are doing after an engine failure, why crews train extensively for this exact type of emergency, and what’s happening inside the cockpit as they prepare to bring the aircraft safely back to Chicago.
An engine failure immediately after departure is one of the situations airline pilots prepare for throughout their careers — and this crew shows exactly why that training matters.
