Emergency Flight

An Air Sonic flight is forced to divert to Kansai after experiencing an engine failure

### Frequency

Rare

An emergency flight (or EMG) is a problem that players will encounter multiple times in Airport Hero Narita and Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

## Description

Emergency flights are regular flights that experience problems while in-flight. They will then divert to the airport There are multiple scenarios in the game, all of which are real-life potential problems. They were first seen in AH Narita

### AH Narita

EMGs first appeared in Airport Hero Narita, however, not a single one was seen in the main stages. They are only found in the camera stages. So far, they have only been reported to occur on Air Sonic's CRJs and on Korean Airways flights. There are only three possible emergencies in this game: Engine failure, sick passenger, and low on fuel. They are also not as detailed as in AH Kansai, for example, when a plane's engine fails in the game there is no smoke, just a burned-out spot by the afflicted engine.

### AH Kansai

The EMGs reappeared in Osaka-KIX, but with more detail and more situations. Fans of the game did like the addition but didn't like that only Air Sonic flights could experience problems. It is likely that in the future they will be able to occur on any flight.

This time, there is a trail of smoke during an engine failure. Players have reported wisps of smoke emerging from the engines in a low fuel event. During a sick passenger situation, when the plane has landed and is at its gate, an ambulance shows up under the plane instead of the normal airport service vehicles.

You are most likely to see an EMG in Operation Mode, but there is a small chance to see them in the Camera Stages as well

## Possible Emergencies

* Engine Failure: The right or left engine is out. The flight will land as normal but will stall out on the runway.
* Mechanical Failure: Mechanical systems onboard the aircraft will fail. Same result for an engine failure.
* Squawk Code 7600 (Radio Failure): The flight will be unable to communicate with the tower.
* Low on Fuel: The plane will be in a rush and more prone to delays.
* Sick Passenger: Similar to Low on Fuel, the flight will be in a rush.

## What to do

These are the actions that should be taken when dealing with EMG flights

### Engine Failure

In an Engine Failure scenario, the player should guide the flight to the least busy runway, as the plane will stall out on the runway and won't be able to taxi to the gate. However, if a departing flight stalls out on the runway, they normally will be able to taxi.

### Mechanical Failure

This is not much different than an engine failure. The systems on the plane will fail, such as the engine and landing gear. The plane will land and will stall out on the runway. Handle this emergency the same way you would an engine failure.

### Radio Failure

When the plane gives you squawk code 7600 (radio failure), the plane will not be able to communicate with the tower until it's on the ground. Because of this, you won't be able to select a runway for the plane, it will choose one randomly. As such, you should be prepared to halt all aircraft movements on the selected runway. After the flight has landed, the plane will go to its gate without any further incident.

### Low On Fuel

In a Low On Fuel situation, the plane will be in more of a rush to get on the ground, so you will lose points if you cause delays. Go-arounds, pauses, and farther runways are out of the question. The goal is to get the plane on the ground as fast as possible. After that, the plane can carry on as normal.

### Sick Passenger

Like the Low On Fuel situation, the plane needs to be on the ground quickly without any pauses or go-arounds, but unlike Low On Fuel, the emergency doesn't stop when the plane touches down. The passenger is still sick, so it needs to be at the gate quicker. It will be prone to delays once it's on the ground, so give it the closest gate and a clear taxiway.

## Airlines

The following airlines have been reported to experience in-flight emergencies"

* Air Sonic
