#atc #aviation #pilot • On April 20, 2015, the pilot of a Mooney M20K was experiencing a gear malfunction. Joseph White was on position at PVD and began assisting the pilot, who was having a hard time staying calm. White told him, It's OK, we're going to work with you on this, and took control. Adding to the difficult situation, the airport surveillance radar antenna (ASR-9) at PVD was out of service, which prevented radar contact with aircraft below 2,000 feet in the vicinity of the airport. At that time, coordination with another scope was established to help White track the aircraft by using long-range radar (LRR). • This helped White identify the aircraft's location at low altitudes. • • When EVERYTHING goes WRONG! • There were low cloud ceilings and IFR conditions that day. The pilot reported that in addition to the aircraft's gear malfunction, the trims, GPS, and autopilot were inoperative. White attempted to vector the aircraft towards the airport for nearly 40 minutes, then initiated no-gyro vectors for ILS Runway 5 at PVD. The pilot was unable to intercept the localizer, so White advised the pilot to descend to 1,200 feet — well below the minimum vectoring altitude in that area. • Because of this lower altitude, the pilot was able to break through the low cloud ceiling. He wanted to attempt a visual approach into the airport and reported that he had the airport in sight. • Unfortunately, he had mistakenly identified Quonset (OQU) airport visually, not Providence. • At this point, White and the pilot had to decide at which airport the pilot should attempt to land. The pilot asked White if he could attempt to proceed to PVD, but White knew that with the pilot's equipment failures adding up and options for handling them running out, the pilot should attempt to land at OQU. White's quick actions and calm, reassuring tone ensured that the pilot was able to land the malfunctioning aircraft safely. • Get Flight Unveiled book here*: • https://esstafasoufiane.com/discount/... • ****** Use coupon code SKYNAVIGTOR for 20% discount • If you like our contents please SUBSCRIBE to our channel • / @flight_follower • All videos are licensed under Creative Commons or used under YT quidelines of 'Fair Use'i do not own or claim any video. credits goes to respective owners. if you have your videos used and want to make a change email me. so that we can solve the issue. • The ATC audio is downloaded from Liveatc.net • Email us at • [email protected]
