THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:
17-JUL-2021. An American Airlines Airbus A319 (A319), registration N703UW, performing flight AAL1121 / AA1121 from Washington Reagan National Airport, DC (USA) to LaGuardia Airport, NY (USA) being of final at LaGuardia Airport initiated missed approach procedure and reported about hydraulic issues. Later the pilots declared an emergency, requested a long runway and decided to go to New York Kennedy Airport.
PART OF TEXT VERSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THAT I'M ABLE TO INCLUDE HERE. Do you want more? Write in comments and I'll give you remaining part of text communications (Read if subtitles in video were fast):
COMMENTS: American 1121 was on final approach at LaGuardia when the pilots decided to go around. In a moment American 1121 will contact Departure controller.
AAL1121: Hello, Departure, American 1121, we’re on heading 223, up to 3000. We need time to run some checklists here.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, you’re radar contact, over LaGuardia at 2600, climb and maintain 4000.
AAL1121: Climb and maintain 4000, American 1121.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, could you say the reason for the missed?
AAL1121: We have some hydraulic issues here.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, sorry about that, say again. You were stepped on.
AAL1121: Hydraulic issues.
DEPARTURE: Roger.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, maintain 210 knots if you can.
AAL1121: And for American 1121, sir, if we could just get some delay vectors. The issue with the hydraulic system is affecting our configuration and I’d like to get fully configured before attempt an approach.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, no problem, I’ m just gonna take you north of LaGuardia and we'll get you delaying vectors up there until you get your situation figured out.
AAL1121: Alright, thanks very much, American 1121.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, turn right, right turn heading 340.
AAL1121: Right 340, American 1121.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, turn right heading 040.
AAL1121: 040, American 1121.
DEPARTURE: American 1121, contact Approach on 120.8.

AAL1121: Approach, 4000, 180 on the speed.
APPROACH: American 1121, turn right heading 070.
AAL1121: 070, American 1121.
APPROACH: Just assigned you a place so you can spin for a while until you're ready to go somewhere.
AAL1121: Okay, copy and we’ll probably will be reducing our airspeed to try to get fully configured, American 1121.
APPROACH: Whatever you need to do.
AAL1121: Roger.
APPROACH: American 1121, turn right heading 090.
AAL1121: 090, American 1121.
AAL1121: Hello, Approach, American 1121, declaring an emergency, MAYDAY-MAYDAY. We need vectors for JFK. We need a long runway.
APPROACH: American 1121, turn right heading 220.
AAL1121: Right heading 220, American 1121.
APPROACH: American 1121, when you can I’m gonna need fuel and people on board.

THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

HOW I DO VIDEOS:
1) I monitor media, airspace, looking for any non-standard, emergency and interesting situation.
2) I find communications of ATC unit for the period of time I need.
3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.
