Stop with the sensational headlines; "Hard landing", "No flare"... I used to enjoy your little snippets but please keep it factual instead of exaggerating.
@@힐만94yeah I’m also surprised why they didn’t evacuate, maybe there’s no passengers? Pilot pov would just be smoke everywhere in front and passenger windows also see lots of smoke coming from in front and below which is very scary
@@Jwellsuhhuh I think there probably weren't passengers. I don't even think this was a pushback. There may not even have been any pilots. It's not near a terminal or parking space and the engines aren't running (they'd usually be started up during pushback). It was probably just being towed to a new spot.
Boss; “why are you late to this meeting, you should’ve landed four hours ago!” Employee: “the tug that was taking us to the runway *spontaneously combusted”*
Because thats what an airplane's descent path looks like. The slower speed forces the plane to be in a nose-up position to prevent losing altitude too quickly. A flare is when at about 20 feet or so the pilots pull the nose up even a little further to create a smoother landing. As you can see in the video, the plane stayed at the exact same nose-up angle the whole time.
@@Androm3da787 It clearly flares at 2:28. The plane came in pretty flat as it was fighting gusting winds (assuming the caption is accurate), flares and then pushes the nose back down a bit before touching down.
@@Androm3da787 The obvious flare at 2:28 is why the main gears touched 1/2 second before the nose gear. Before 2:28, the airplane was in level flight, which is the appropriate attitude for the final approach. Without the flare, all 3 landing gears will hit the runway simultaneously or worse.
Came here to wonder about that. Thanks for giving it a name. Didn't know it was a thing. Diesel engine runaway is an occurrence in diesel engines, in which the engine draws extra fuel from an unintended source and overspeeds at higher and higher RPM, producing up to ten times the engine's rated output until destroyed by mechanical failure or bearing seizure due to a lack of lubrication.[1] Hot-bulb engines and jet engines can also run away via the same process.
@trafeneder they are probably too old. Some newer trucks with a diesel engine have a damper on the intake that if you cut the ignition it closes off the intake air which would shut down even a runaway.
thrust reversers aren't powerful enough to push back a fully loaded plane that is on it's MTOW, might've been possible if this was after landing (burning up alot of fuel and much lower weight) also it's likely that the engine weren't even started cause usually they are started during the pushback, even if everything was in place it still wouldn't be wise to use reverse thrust, maybe the tow truck got scared and ran out of his truck, he would've been sucked into the engine or any debris nearby. either way the engine was off and this was the best possible way to handle the situation.
1:05 Ah, Wellington... any landing there that you walk away from is a good one. Looks like the (notoriously gusty) wind made the plane float down the runway past the landing zone so the pilot had to go-around.
Boss: "Why are you so late to this meeting, She should've landed 50 years ago!" Engines: The turned out was talking us to the floor. Simanteniously Combined."
The engines on that first 787-9 look huge, is that normal? The last plane is also a 787-9 and its engines seem a little smaller.. is it just perspective or are they different?
1:15 if you actually want to see something cool: look at the end of the right flap. Underneath you can see the air distorting due to the turbulance coming of of it. Its not just wing tip turbulance, it also happens at every drastic change in the wing profile (or rather the bound circulation).
I wonder how much "fertilizer" was dropped the minute the passengers saw the smoke. Kudos to the fire brigade for swift response and handling of the situation.
Engines take time to spool up. The decision to go around was made prior to the touchdown. The landing was likely firm as a result of that decision, since they didn’t bother with landing the airplane anymore. They probably didn’t even expect a touchdown.
It wasn't even a hard landing. Every time a landing on here is firm, the channel operator calls it a hard landing. A hard landing looks very different.
Thanks for the replies. I've seen plenty of videos where a go-around happens after a hard landing and kept thinking about Air Canada 621 back in '70. I also since read it's often used after a hard landing to avoid a porpoising. Again, thanks!
@@richardnixon8795 only a small airplane, this could be the case. A small plane tends to bounce back up, nose drops, nose gear hits first, then main and you start porpoising. On big jets, that’s simply not the case and a hard landing would stick.
I watched a pushback crew driving a similar tug as American's try to "get one last push" out of their SuperTug before it needed a new clutch (on the SuperTug). The push crew really, really, really tried. The clutch was definitely not grabbing but making this loud WHIZZZ, WHIZZZ, WHZZZZZZZ noise and throwing off, straight up over the nose and cockpit, a column of burning clutch smell and smoke. Tug driver [laughing]: "Well, shit. Looks like we're not going to get it [that last pushback]. Standby, Fred's getting the 'other tug' but it might be a 10 minute wait." Done. Pushed normally, forgot to get the audio and video -- but this was 20 years ago, too. No one hurt, everyone amused.
I assume the three people in orange vests watching the tug burn are trying to work out who's going to report that to the ground operations manager. That's not going to be an easy or comfortable conversation 😭
I understand a go-around if you are not on the ground, too fast, too far down the runway etc.. but why is there need for a go around from a hard landing?
@@nspro931 ARFF trucks have pump and roll capability son. They should've had water flowing before the truck stopped. I only have 40+ plus years on the job...
@@ffjsb I'm interested in the answer to the 2 questions about your resume. I'm also not clear if your comment means they were "slow to respond" or "slow getting out of the truck"? They taught us at Biscailuz that every vehicle fire means the vehicle is a loss. The evolution went - Rescue, if applicable, then protect the exposures.

@@DrLumpyDMus As I said, ARFF trucks have pump and roll capability, so they should've had foam flowing as they pulled up. The tug is possibly salvageable at that point, but the important thing is the multi-million dollar aircraft it's attached to. You hit it with the turret to knock down any fire, and to protect the aircraft. Then you can have your firefighters get out with a line to finish the job. It's impossible to establish the response time from this video, but it's clear they were slow to act when they arrived. You don't have to be in the US to train well. What they needed to do is BASIC ARFF skills. This wasn't a compilcated fire needing rescue. Stop me if I'm lying...
@@ffjsb Yup. You don't need a visible flame to damage the airframe. Just the heat alone can ruin the temper on heat treated metal parts, drastically reducing its strength. For carbon fiber like the 787, the full name is carbon fiber reinforced polymer. i.e. Carbon strands embedded in plastic resin. The plastic doesn't hold up well when heated. Fire crew should've done everything they could to cool it off immediately.
I work for a company that does pushback and... that's what we call it. Tugs are the trucks that bring the dollies with the cans in and out of the warehouse.
That's diesel runaway. That's not a fire. By flooding it with water the engine is now written off, which could have been saved if it had the inlet pipe blocked. I totally get why they doused it with water, I think it was the best thing to do to remove any doubt
01:27 that would have been pilot approach and go around training with no plan to land at all. Norwich runway 27 is nowhere near long enough for a 747. Largest aircraft to fly there i believe was an a330 or possible a Britannia 767.
Flare means bringing the nose up about 5⁰ before touchdown and a no-flare input means that the aircraft landed with all the gears touching the ground at the same time.
That poor F/A-8 was practically stalling to stay with the photographer's plane ....

:30 Unfortunately, this is more common than has been reported. I worked on the ramp in Chicago and due to many of these vehicles being no longer gas or diesel now they have become electric. I shouldn’t say now they became electric. They’ve been electric for many many years but the concern of course is when something electric is burning because of the lithium ion batteries.

Unfortunately, this is more common than has been reported.
I worked on the ramp in Chicago and due to many of these vehicles being no longer gas or diesel now they have become electric. I shouldn’t say now they became electric. They’ve been electric for many many years but the concern of course is when something electric is burning because of the lithium ion batteries.

Narita windshears are terrible!

A flight on a large airliner with non-flexing wings would freak you out a lot more!
