On April 17th, airplane EDV4903 encountered a possible drone strike while descending toward runway 22 at New York's LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) at an altitude of 5,000 feet. The crew immediately reported the incident to air traffic controllers (ATC) in the New York Approach sector. ATC promptly declared an emergency for the flight. Despite the incident, EDV4903 landed safely and the crew informed the tower that all instruments seemed to function normally.

IMPORTANT:
This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations in the future.

To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and pull it all together into a neat package.
