VRD406 Emergency Return to LAX
« on: December 01, 2013, 08:46:40 AM »
On Nov 29 a Virgin America flight from LAX to JFK returned to LAX shortly after takeoff.  The emergency occurred shortly after takeoff after the flight was handed off to LA Center.  Unfortunately, no coverage by Liveatc on the frequency.  The flight was handed off from Approach to LA Tower on frequency 127.85, also not covered by Liveatc.  The tower controller was simulcasting on 133.9 which is covered so only the tower side of the conversation could be heard on landing.  The recording is attached.  Unfortunately, not much is said about the emergency situation, so not sure what happened here.  The AVHerald also has no information at the moment...
