OVERWEIGHT EMERGENCY LANDING! Delta A330 Declares Emergency, after Engine Runs Rough Mid-Flight!

27-FEB-2024
A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-200, registration N861NW performing flight DL-86 from Detroit, MI (USA) to Frankfurt/Main (Germany) with 95 people on board, was en route at FL370 about 20nm north of Syracuse, NY (USA) when the crew entered a hold at altitude due to a problem with one of the engines (PW4168A). The crew subsequently decided to divert to Syracuse and declared an emergency advising they were to perform an overweight landing, one of their engines was running rough. The aircraft landed safely on Syracuse’s runway 28 about 45 minutes after entering the hold. The crew advised the engines were not that much of a concern, however, the brakes were a concern.

The main purpose of this video is educational, i.e. to provide example situations for people who want to become pilots or air traffic controllers and to provide them with information. In addition, the aim here is to provide current pilots and air traffic controllers with access to radio conversations around the world so that they can think about how they should behave in situations they are likely to encounter in the future.

While preparing the content, I follow important aviation events and news from around the world. I check whether I can access the radio conversations by looking at the date and time zone of these events.

Then, I listen to the conversations over and over again to prepare subtitles and note down the relevant parts. Finally, I prepare an animation or get it from tracking websites and put it all together.
