Hi guys, I have just landed in ATL and we had to wait 30 min to cross one of runways. the pilot said we had to wait for a Air Canada with Hidraulic problems. When we crossed we saw what it seemed to be a 737 and tons of fire trucks next to it. Everything seemed fine with it though.

Hi,
Unless it was a sub, AC doesn't operate the A320 family a/c anymore into ATL. Only EMB-175 or the occasional 190 and QK CRJs. Glad it landed safely as such incidents can happen anytime BUT... If it is an EMB which is most likely, they really are hangar queens... Or as a lot of people would say lately, they should be renamed the EMB-180!

it looked like there was a 175 sitting off on the side of the field this morning when we were taking off back for St. Louis.
Eternal darkness we all should dread. It's hard to party when you're dead.

Yes that is the name pilots gave to them I spoke to in regard of these new EMB's.............. joke aside no aircraft is fail safe for a hydraulic failure but nice to see they got down and everyone is ok.

You take off and have to do a 180 degree turn and come back.
S5's shuttles seem to be in pretty good shape I havent seen them sitting around much in Denver broken.

what? IF you did a 360 degree turn wouldn't you be facing the same direction as you started????

Precisly, if you did a 180 you would be landing the opposite direction you took off in, thus a downwind final. A 360 would be in the normal landing pattern, landing into the wind.

Yes, you would.......if you're returning to your departure point due to mechanical problems, you probably want a conventional (i.e. upwind) landing, which would entail a 360 degree turn to line up on final.

I believe all AC flights to/from Atlanta are RJ's.
Worked for too many airlines to list. Banktupcy after bankruptcy after bankruptcy.

Good Grief!
Well, since we're digressing....in an emergency you might not have time to goof around flying a normal pattern. If it means the difference between landing in a neighbourhood or landing on an airfield, I'll definitely take the downwind landing in an airfield.
And now back to your regularly scheduled posting....

Nope. They fluctuate according to scheduling and seasonal demand. ATL was originally all AC mainline, then AC Jazz, most recently all E175's, and currently a combination of both.
