Welcome aboard, on my channel I will give you my point of view from inside the airline industry! Everything from descriptions of Aviation accidents and Incidents to procedures and hints about how to access the industry will be covered. Feel free to suggest content! Enjoy!
I'm a fairly new subscriber to both of your channels. I've binged watched you both. I'm a huge fan of you both equally. I was really surprised to see you both in the same video. I often wondered if you both were aware of each other. My question was just answered when I clicked on this one. This was such an exciting video to watch. Two of the best, most entertaining blokes I've ever seen. Would love to see more like this. Great job guys, wish I could meet you both , just long enough to say hello, and get a couple selfies. Cheers from Michigan.
Investigation?? Old junk plane, lack of maintenance, intimidating management that wouldn't address the issues. Drive a junk car with no maintenance expect the unexpected
What really sticks out on this one is not the ridiculously over-bearing Captain...but the fact that the first officer decided to make one of the way-points in the mountains. This blows my mind. This doomed them. I'm at a loss here.
This reminded me of the flight where the flight crew landed on the wrong runway but there was a huge piece of equipment on it. They were heard saying pull up Charlie pull up. Sadly that was a fatal accident.
I really like this channels video explaining the way that airplanes and jets work and the way flying works the different functions of the plane what they do how they can affect performance, etc.. there so much I've Learned in just this 1 video!
A few years ago I spoke with a friend of mine (FBO in Scottland) about this incident. He said the pilots were incompetend. I later showed him a photo of my PFD (primary flight display), when I did a test flight with the pitot covered with tape to simulate a frozen pitot tube. It was crossed red ! My friend in Scottland said: 'Interesting' ! We dont know what the crew saw through the windshield. We dont know what the crew saw on their displays. The airdata computer was salvaged, and there exists a replica of the events as a video. The video shows the pilot flying adjusting pitch 8 and max power, but the aircraft continues with 10000 f/minute down to sea level. Within slightly more than two minutes the airplane dived from FL340 to sea level. Nobody can believe that this was a stalled condition ! My conclusion is - one should always have basic giroscopic instruments as Stand by Instruments ! Gyroscopic Law is valid in the entire Universe !
Life or luggage... so many chose luggage. SMH. How about power to airports being supplied parallel to runways. This has happened a few times in these videos.
I get it that people are angry at the FO and his actions and training inadequacies etc but i think it is not fair to berate the man so publicly because of this. He also has a family and God knows how they feel. People make mistakes and unfortunately for him his mistake was very fatal for himself and his co workers...but that's what it was...mistake. He didn't crash the plane on purpose. So please pay some respect and stop being so up nosed about stuff like this. It could be you one day making a tragic mistake so just give the person some respect. You don't have to even talk about him. Give his family some respect.
Men om man av vilken anledning som helst ändå packar med batterier i incheckade bagaget (ej handbagage), då syns det väl i någon kontroll, röntgen(?) och plockas ur - innan det lastas i planet..? ELLER!? 😬
G'day Captain!!! I wanted to share one of my question and a potential video idea for you, its about this particular crash which is the crash of "Aerosucre Flight 157". I have always been wondering what had happened for this aircraft to crash.....Alright Captain that's all from me and yeah! Have a nice day! :)
It is another accident where the aircraft thrust is automatically reduced to idle during a go-around. Who introduces these kind of features? Why is there not a verbal warning to prevent such situation?
Another chilling tale; one which could perhaps have been avoided if someone had listened to Mr Liotine's advice in 1997. From my own standpoint as an ex-RAF QFI and civil airline Training Captain, I would have immediately selected a diversion field and headed towards it, putting out a Mayday at the same time as finding a comfortable descent rate.. When an aeroplane is telling you it's sick, better to get it on the ground as quickly as possible and let the engineering team deal with it. In the latter years of my career, I experienced "Runaway elevator trims"and survived because when I found controlling settings that the aircraft responded to as I generally kept on descending whilst pulling as many circuit breakers as possible; thus giving me an old fashioned 'seat of the pants' airplane. I appreciate it's easy preaching from down here, but to new young pilots, I would highly recommend studying engineering with a passion and also work towards a flight instructor's rating. The more tools in your 'tool bag' the more chances of coming through your own flying career in one piece. RIP Ted & Bill - condolences to their families, and RIP to the cabin crew and all the passengers. As always, thank you to Mentour Pilot for the professional in depth presentation. - John Templeton Smith
I started fying the 777 from our inaugural flight in 2000, flap retraction can be tricky for those newly-rated on the aircraft. Normally, it gets hairy at weights far in excess of the 777-200 this flight. Neophytes often blanch at the Flaps 5 callout, which seems too much even though it is standard procedure. The cardinal rule: fly the airplane. Instructors on the 777 say over and over again that 10 degrees is the magic attitude for retraction after the programmed reduction to Climb thrust. It's odd that an experienced 777 would toss that out the window. The is all taking place in an airplane with tons of surplus power. Normally, this kind of thrashing around is confined to fourth or fifth day simulator training, not line flying. All of that said, I don't think any of this would've happened, if the autopilot was engaged. Amazing scenario, so glad it did not result in tragedy.
Many many times i hear on the ATC radio airways planes approaching Heathrow Airport are being hit by green and blue laser lights. Can you discuss the dangers of this to pilots and passengers? Also one windy night planes approaching Heathrow 10 miles out 3000ft were experiencing wind sheer of 30 kts airspeed increase in a very very short time to such an extent some pilots could NOT reply to atc when they were navigating this. So their airspeed was 160kts and in a matter of seconds their speed went up to 180kts. Can you discuss the kinds of aircraft characteristics would have played out and what pilots are taught to do? Thanks.
I talk about having personal parachutes often with my son. Can you imagine what would happen if all of the passengers had their own parachute and could choose when they ejected? Either they would eject before they had an actual problem or they would have a problem and not realize it or wait too long to eject or use their chute. The aircraft would experience turbulence and many of the passengers would eject! If the pilot had the ability to eject the passengers they might wait too long thinking they could prevent the crash. It’s fascinating. Thanks for the great videos!
