Thanks for that link.
As a former aviator, I was always taught to "aviate (fly the ship first), navigate, communicate", in that order. Sully's lack of comms with departure control during the final stages of the flight, and his brevity of cockpit chatter as they ditched is the essence of the "aviate, navigate, communicate" ethos. The co-pilot is no slouch either.

Sullenberger: "Got any ideas?"
Co-pilot: "Actually, not." Classic.

I was so impressed with that exchange...words can't convey the proper import concerning my admiration for the cockpit coordination the two of them exhibited.
"Actually, not." has become legend...especially when he said it. Quote:

The calm in all those exchanges is really amazing. Like monkey said, Sully is an ice cube.

this is pretty calm and cool on the flight deck for sure.
And the back and forth between the pilots was legendary

Reminds me of operators in the field and engineers inthe corporate building (in my line of work). Engineers can pretty much say anythig but when it comes to the nitty gritty, the operators do what they know best. The good ones anyhow. Great link and great lesson on being in control when things go wrong.

Why, in the audio, does the plane go from being "1549" to "1539" to "1529"? Do your flight numbers change depending on whether you're going up/down?

The flight number, Cactus 1549, is assigned by the airline (USAir - owned by AmericaWest airlines out of Phoenix, AZ, hence the 'Cactus' nickname, a holdover from the AmericaWest days). The number does not change. Last edited by tcar; 11-14-2009 at 01:51 PM.. |

"Any ideas?" " Actually not"
Destined to become a classroom staple. So he splashed at over 150 mph and it didn't flip.... Stunning....let it be said again...stunning.
