23-APR-2024 A Douglas C-54D-DC Skymaster, operated by Alaska Air Fuel, was destroyed when it crashed into a steep hill on the bank of the Tanana River, about six minutes after takeoff from Fairbanks International Airport (FAI/PAFA), Fairbanks, Alaska. Both pilots perished. ADS-B data shows that the airplane was climbing to about 1500 feet before it began a descending left turn towards the river. An online video shows that one of the engines on the left side exploded, followed by the airplane entering a steep left bank less than 10 seconds later. (Sorry for the caption mistakes. I would be very glad if you ignore them 🙏) 📌 Details: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/386882 📌 Radar: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N3054V Join this channel to get access to the perks: null #aviation #realatc #avgeek ____________________________ IMPORTANT: This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations. To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package. ____________________________ ► e-mail: theflightrecords@gmail.com Radio conversations: https://www.liveatc.net/ Map: https://www.google.com/maps/?entry=yt
