Hydraulic Failure Over the Atlantic 🌊 | Real Airbus Pilot Story

Описание: What happens when an airliner loses a hydraulic system in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean—at night?

In this episode of the Black Box Aviation Podcast, Tom and Mike break down a real Airbus hydraulic failure that occurred during a New York to Puerto Rico flight, over non-radar oceanic airspace in total darkness. The crew receives a warning: Blue hydraulic system — zero quantity.

The guys discuss:

What the Airbus blue, green, and yellow hydraulic systems actually do

Why losing one system over water is serious—but not always an emergency

Decision-making in ETOPS / overwater operations

Satcom coordination with dispatch and maintenance

Why landing distance data and weather accuracy matter

Why Bermuda is NOT the ideal diversion at night

Crew resource management, monitoring systems, and staying ahead of the airplane

This is a perfect real-world training scenario for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone curious about what really happens on the flight deck when something goes wrong far from land.
