    The massive A380 is not easy to handle... Thanks to the subscriber CheesyString for providing fantastic visuals for this video. That bird is huge!

    I guess when your vehicle is worth half a billion, it's okay to be a little cautious where you park. 😆
  • @jkiang
    That was a very professional and civil exchange. Both parties got frustrated at times but remained cool headed and solution oriented. Great job all!
  • This should be a study piece in conflict training. Superb professionalism.

    I'm glad that the flight crew didn't back down until they were comfortable with the routing. ATC kept their cool, everybody listened instead of getting angry.

    Wow. My wife and I should listen to this in one of our therapy sessions 😂. They came to an impasse, both articulated their boundaries and respectfully held to them, they didn’t let frustration make the problem bigger, and they were able to come to an elegant compromise. Really interesting little exchange - kudos to everyone involved.
  • As a frequent Emirates passenger it gives me an enormous sense of calm knowing that the pilots are so cautious. Great job and by the controller too - clearly understood the pilots caution given the size (and cost) of the beast he's taxiing.
  • “Trust, but verify” is a two way street sometimes. Great professionalism from all involved. It doesn’t matter if you in command of a CriCri (the smallest aircraft I can think of) or an A380, that left hand seat comes with responsibilities - so there are no “stupid questions” if the PIC is not clear on what is being asked, and likewise for ATC. From a mere PPL(A).

    Seems well handled by both sides given the confusion. Very professional, and they got it resolved. I understand that the captain probably doesn't want to ding the wings and have his paycheck deducted for the next 17 thousand years.
  • Emirates recently changed to using T3 on select days due to congestion at CBSA in T1. C34/C34A was recently renovated to accept the A380.
  • Most professional “argument” I’ve ever heard. Working the problem 👍🏻
  • Pilot did everything by his book, controller was professional. Seems like their data just didn’t match up with the a380 only Gate. That’s how it’s done though, 👏🏻
  • @Renard380
    When i read "little argument" i thought someone got angry, maybe strong words were exchanged. Instead this is a polite discussion between two people who disagree on an important topic. Nicely done!

    Emirates uses Terminal 1 in Toronto. C34 is a gate in Terminal 3. Based on the info from Apron, there was a backlog in Customs in Terminal 1 so they moved them to C34 which is also a gate that was recently upgraded to accomodate the A380. This should have been explained to the pilot
  • @porschiste911
    That is very very good. Used to be commercial pilot and when you're responsible for the machine and everyone inside it any sliver of doubt must be eliminated. I'm now ATCO and I can understand from the other side that when you have the utmost knowledge of your area of responsibility some pilot requests can seem weird at times. This was the most heartwarming professional exchange from both sides of the PTT button.

    1. I hear two professionals stating where they stand based on information they have. 2. I'd also be worried about plane damage going on my record. 3. With this pilot, I very much doubt there would have been a Tenerife, especially if he was flying the KLM. Never hurts to be absolutely sure. Eff being on time or wasting fuel. 4. Props to both of them (or turbofans if you prefer).
  • @AVPaegle
    Really professional on both sides. Congratulations to the EK crew and Toronto ground/apron. Things were solved cordially and clearly.
  • @jessicas2379
    Love the animations I am from Ontario. I really like how when the plane is going to the gate you can even see the airport hotel Sheraton! Great detail!
  • @rahulapte2433
    Safety was the prime focus, no egos bruised, throughly professional approach. Everyone maintained respect for each other. Was very good to hear !
  • @ferdi5407
