Hydraulic pressure loss text

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

An aircraft was on approach to its destination when the crew noticed a failure of the no.3 hydraulic system and a low pressure warning. They declared PAN PAN and performed an alternate gear extension. They landed safely a few moments later. The aircraft stopped for a quick check by emergency services after exiting the runway, but was cleared to continue. The aircraft continued to the apron but on taxiway Delta, it failed to make the turn and came to a stop with all gear on the grass. The passengers disembarked via airstairs onto the grass and were taken to the terminal on busses, the aircraft was subsequently towed to the apron.

Hydraulic problem

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

An Embraer 145 was flying from Wichita to Kansas City (USA) with 48 people on board. It was cruising at FL310 when the crew noticed a hydraulic problem. At this time they were 58nm from Kansas City and decided to continue to Kansas as the weather conditions there were good.

The plane landed safely at Kansas City International airport 32 minutes later and came to a stop on the runway. The crew requested to be towed from the runway and as a result two other approaching planes were switched to an alternative runway. The plane was towed to a remote area to be checked by maintenance and the passengers were disembarked.
