You can hear the fire alert going off before the mayday.
The fact that they requested a left turn at first it meant the controller knew the right engine was out and they'd need left turns to come in. Always find the level of training impressive and I'm glad they made it back safely.

- msandford 6y agoI don't follow how the right engine being out means left turns. Seems like you'd have extra thrust on the left side and you'd want to make right turns. They wanted to keep the right engine high? I'm not sure what I missed.
- xvf22 6y agoWhen turning into the dead engine, there’s a tendency to overbank as the plane will yaw towards the inoperative engine.

- waiseristy 6y agoThat's exactly the problem, turning too heavily into the side of the dead engine can introduce a situation where it's impossible to pull out of that turn.
- danaliv 6y agoTurning into the live engine is more controllable. When you turn toward the dead engine, the tendency is to turn more. You can do it, but it’s not as stable.
