From the other day, Two AA Airbus jets with inflight emergencies at the same time at PHX, AA2006 arriving with a flap problem and AA 1038 departing and returning with an oil pressure issue on one engine.
Interesting that AA2006 correctly relays their remaining fuel in time when queried by ATC, while AA1038 incorrectly relays it in pounds when queried for their fuel remaining.
When you hear Chief 1 (the fire commander), you can tell that airport FDs don’t normally train for two or more simultaneous emergencies to occur at once. Training of airport fire crews is to operate as a singular team, versus operating as separate entities, and tactics/techniques/procedures reflect same.; hence the Fire Chief’s request about the runways, if possible.
