Happening right now

AAL732.
Charlotte to London.

This plane is over the Atlantic right now. It hasn't turned around yet. But we already know it's going to.

9:43 PM EDT

Middle of the ocean. No turn. Nothing unusual on any tracker.

Every other flight tracker shows AAL732 cruising at FL370, on course for London Heathrow. 20% of the way there. All normal.

But Flight Deck already knows.

Our AI already flagged it. Hydraulic leak. Possible spoiler issue. The crew wants to turn back to JFK because it's easier to rebook 200+ passengers there.

The pilots are talking.

CREW02:30z

CAN U ASK MOC AT WHAT NUMBER THE L HYD IS OUT OF LIMIT. AT CURRENT RATE WE WILL BE AT EGLL AT .60

Asking dispatch: how low can the hydraulic go before we can't continue?

CREW02:36z

IT DROPS .01 EVERY 8-9 MIN. NONE OF US HAVE SEEN LESS THAN 85 ON POST FLT SO THIS LOOKS LIKE AN INSIDIOUS LEAK TO US

It's leaking. Slowly. They've never seen numbers this low.

CREW02:39z

WE ARE THINKING JFK IS BETTER 4 PAX ACCOM

They're turning around. JFK, not London. Better for passengers.
