Plane crash actions/speech

[isabrella]

Hi all!

I'm writing a piece about a precocious young teen who is playing a game about a plane crashing with her friends. It takes place in our world, in the 2010s. In the game, her friend pretends to be the pilot but the MC is going to correct her language from generic kid speech ("code red, we're going down!" etc.) to very specific pilot jargon because she knows all about plane crashed. I'm wondering if anyone could share what kind of jargon pilots might use during a plane crash? Any kind of crash is fine, but it would be good to know if the jargon was specific to e.g., engine failure.

Thank you!

There's actually a transcript of Air France Flight 447 available that went down over the Pacific on the Wikipedia page. Maybe similar leaked transcripts are also available (not for MH 370 that also vanished, but maybe the Malaysia Air flight that got down by a russian missile or the Iranian Air flight that was shot down by the US), but this is the one I know about for sure.

Hope it helps!
