Part 4/8:

Once the pilots suspected an engine failure, they requested fire trucks and ambulances to the scene, despite the lack of immediate smoke or flames visible from their cockpit. When smoke was indeed spotted, the severity of the situation escalated instantaneously. The communication between the aircraft and the tower remained fluid, as air traffic control sought clear information on the situation while positioning emergency vehicles effectively.

During this critical time, it was noted that diligent decision-making was paramount. The tower controller’s initiative to mobilize lighter operational vehicles back to the aircraft provided an immediate assessment of whether a fire was present or visible. The nimbleness of smaller ground vehicles allowed for quicker access to the smoking engine.
