THIS VIDEO IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN FLIGHT:

07-AUG-2024. A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 (B38M), registration N8704Q, performing flight SWA1578 / WN1578 from Dallas Love Field Airport, TX (USA) to Long Beach Daugherty Field Airport, CA (USA) was climbing out of Dallas when the flight crew leveled off at 10000 feet, donned oxygen masks, declared an emergency and reported smoke in the cockpit, and in the cabin. The airplane returned to the airport of departure and landed safely on runway 13 right. After landing the pilots reported that they needed to get the people off. Also they informed that they were unable to start the APU and they suspected some problems with APU.

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.

    Smoke in the cockpit is a very frightening and consequential situation - been there, done that. The crew and ATC handled it very well - it will be interesting to follow up on this event and learn the cause of the smoke.
  • @legofreak3204
    4:21 "We don't have time to inform them" 4:36 "What gate are you going to" There is an emergency with this plane and air traffic control has only one problem: at which gate should it stop? I was expecting: "The field is yours and the trucks are rolling" After landing and inspecting the plane, you can always look for a gate. Yes, deboarding with a bridge is faster than with a mobile staircase. But before I take a (long) taxi, a short stop and an initial check of the situation would have been better.

    I still don’t understand why a mayday call isn’t used around the world. It is so much clearer at gaining attention over the radio than “declaring an emergency”.

    Thanks for bringing us this news so quickly, You can see ATC. All that training pilots do really pays off, but it would be nice if they didn't have leaky O2 masks! Just wondering too if the passengers were comped in any way for their "smoke in the cabin time?"
  • ATC asks "Who was that?" when pilot was replying to the last instructions with "Unable".
  • If the APU was not running it was not the source of the smoke. Scary situation, whatever the cause, and well handled by the crew and ATC.
  • @rohan-ghosh
    ...not a pilot here and am just curious, if there is smoke in the cockpit isn't it just tempting to skip the checklist and get on the ground as soon as possible?
  • @GeneralSeptem
    I didn't think a "long checklist" was something you wanted when your plane was on fire?
  • These planes use bypass air from the engines for practically everything so a manifold leak can allow fumes from combustion into the ventilation system. It isn't pleasant but not a dire emergency like an electrical fire.

    So for all the uniformed experts out there, before you start jumping to conclusions and blaming Boeing, the 737, MAX or SWA you need to understand that this is most likely a component failure. Honeywell makes the APU. CFM the engines. The MAX, despite its reputation is a good aircraft. Every airplane type ever flown has experienced various failures, hence the extensive training. Good job SWA crew!
  • @pilot41186
    The 737 is such a pverstretched pile of 1960s tech junk
  • @bigjobbies
    so they got the plane back into service in 22 hours? that's frightening
