Icing on the ILS
On November 24, 2008, a pilot flying a Bonanza was being vectored to the ILS at Syracuse Hancock International when apparently his airspeed indicator began to show a slower speed, however the pilot at first mistakes this for losing power. He then asks to get right in. At that point the controller (one who had just taken over the shift from the first controller you hear at the beginning) begins to hand-hold the pilot onto the localizer. The aircraft then drifts off the localizer and also loses altitude a couple of times. Fortunately this clip ends well. Thanks to Peter Ricciardiello and LiveATC.net for providing this clip.
Micro burst alerts at KSYR
Several microburst alerts culminated into a 55 knot microburst alert as an isolated thunderstorm passed directly over Syracuse-Hancock International Airport. This clip begins with a Northwest Airlines aircraft that had just departed SYR negotiating vectors with departure control around thunderstorm cells out to the west. Following this brief exchange are several microburst alerts of increasing intensity being issued by the tower/ground controller. The clip wraps up with an approaching aircraft being informed of the conditions at the airport. The clip has been edited to remove some of the dead-air. Thanks to Peter Ricciardiello for sending it to us!
Mooney landing gear up at KSYR
On August 14, 2007, A Mooney on approach to Syracuse apparently lost all electrical power and the ability to lower his landing gear. Note that this clip has had non-essential transmissions edited out as well as silent gaps in order to compress the file size. The clip was originally about 20 minutes long before editing.
Thanks to Peter Ricciardiello for editing this clip.
