Delta Airlines flight DL291 departed from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) en route to Los Angeles, CA (USA). While cruising at FL360 over Canadian airspace, approximately 440 nautical miles north of Minneapolis, MN (USA), an onboard medical emergency arose involving one of the flight crew members. In response to the situation, the air traffic controller's supervisor, recognizing the severity of the situation, declared an emergency on behalf of the flight crew. The incapacitated crew member was promptly taken to the passenger cabin, where a doctor, who happened to be on board, provided medical care. With the emergency declared, the flight descended to FL240 and successfully diverted to Minneapolis, where they executed a safe landing about 75 minutes later. Subsequently, the ailing pilot was taken to a hospital for a thorough examination.

IMPORTANT:
The main purpose of this video is educational, i.e. to provide example situations for people who want to become pilots or air traffic controllers and to provide them with information. In addition, the aim here is to provide current pilots and air traffic controllers with access to radio conversations around the world so that they can think about how they should behave in situations they are likely to encounter in the future.

While preparing the content, I follow important aviation events and news from around the world. I check whether I can access the radio conversations by looking at the date and time zone of these events.

Then, I listen to the conversations over and over again to prepare subtitles and note down the relevant parts. Finally, I prepare an animation or get it from tracking websites and put it all together.
