Jet Blue audio

Recommended Posts

That must have been a memorable flight for the passengers and crew. Sounds like the captain had a breakdown. Listening to the file, I couldn't understand much of it. At no time did anyone mention to the tower the specifics of what was happening. Or did I miss that?

That's the most complete recording I've heard, so I don't think it sounds like the 1st officer, or fill in captain..not sure which was talking...ever told control that the previous captain had flipped.

They reported an emergency, were diverted, then the audio is them talking to approach, approach giving them altitude stuff etc. Mostly stuff only a pilot or someone with ATC would get.

If I were on that flight, I would have made a dash for the liquor for sure...while everyone's attention was diverted.

Seeing them haul that guy off the plane kind of reminded me of something that I think happened to Jake Duvall one time...

Liquor cabinet? Not me. I would've groped the flight attendant in the galley.

Speaking of, I ran into Jake on Bourbon St last week during a quickie trip to New Orleans. He's quite fetching as a female impersonator.

OK, that's a number of people talking, but it's the plane talking to approach, you hear approach talking to a Southwest plane to maintain runway heading...which means he's in line with the runway and approach will soon switch him to tower...approach has already been notified there is an emergency it sounds like, Jet Blue 191 emergency and ATC gives him the alt. of 6000, and asked if he had the approach (plates) for the instrument approach, which tells me at this point in the recording ATC knew the flight was diverted as they wouldn't ask a flight if they had the inst. appr. I'm guessing the 1st officer was working radios and the sub-captain was flying the plane. (Nice work of ATC to make sure the pilots had what they needed for the approach, although nowadays it's all stored on the flight computers it seems) He gave the vectors them asked them to switch from emergency squawk to 3340 (the transmitter code). Cleared them the RNAV rwy 22 and asked which approach. zuuka? Based on intersections and VOR vectors. (there are approaches to bring them in and the names are based on intersection names etc) Then handed them to tower 118.30

Then to communicate on 112.65 to ground

I think it's amazing that the 1st officer handled this.

It's very possible the 1st officer was 30 years old or so...

Some are in mid 20's.

He could have been older, but many are young having 1k hours or so and spent a lot of that riding as CFII.

Then off to the big boys.

That dude can write his own ticket now.
