      Hey Juan from Syd about the near miss Qantas 737-A380 the flight number was QF426 sunday morn here incident time 10.18am maybe you can find it on flightradar24 i cant text you from AUS 🤷‍♂️

      Chris Brady deals here only with the CVR and FDR, both of which appear to have stopped working at a time coincidental with everything else failing. Still yet a mystery. On touchdown, expertly carried out indicating well-trained crew, the bird-struck engine appears to be delivering thrust while the other engine is delivering none. A mystery again. Did the crew shut down the wrong engine as happened at Kegworth, UK in 1989, also a B737? After shutting down the wrong engine while initiating the go around did panic set in? Off to the right you can see the tantalising safety of a long runway and here on downwind you have lost power to both engines, the bird-struck engine only weakly performing. What do you do? The crew appear to have hauled the craft round immediately relying on muscle memory in place of checklists, and what might have ended heroically instead ended in tragedy.

      The ICAO proposed to have battery backup incorporated into the recorders, that's still pending approval.
      The recorders are AC powered, so either engine would power them, as would the APU. But, it can take up to a minute to spool up the APU - while scrambling with all four arms to get the aircraft configured and sort of stabilized for a no thrust landing.
      All while one really needed six arms and another ten minutes of controlled flight... :/

    From The 737 Handbook - “It points to loss of AC power which was never recovered. CVR is powered by DC BUS 2 (needs AC power to get powered). FDR is powered by AC TRANSFER BUS 1. Finally ADS-B data transmitted by Transponder is also missing. Transponders are powered by AC TRANSFER BUS 1 and 2 respectively.
    AC power is required to power the electric motor driven pumps (EMDPs) which supply HYD pressure for normal gear and flap extension. Without the HYD and AC power,flaps cannot be extended and gear can only be lowered through manual gear extension.
    Starting the APU and putting it on the busses isn't part of the Loss of Thrust on Both Engines memory items, but is a crucial step in regaining control over the systems (gear,flaps, trim among others). I hope to see this step moved to the memory items part in the future.”

    Hi Juan, there is a really good (safety) case for having the APU running, for T/O & departure, and for the approach. Of course the airlines will never buy into this, because of the fuel cost. I used to leave the APU running for zero-vis departures, and for low-vis approaches, in particular, RNP approaches into mountainous terrain, when going right down to low minima. On the 737, it was there to select the generator on; on the A320, if running, the APU would pick up the un-powered bus, automatically. It might be “ belt and braces” but increases one’s safety margins, and less distraction in the worst case. Just some thoughts. Cheers, John. NZ🇳🇿 (retired) 😁

    I'm a retired 737 pilot and aviation accident investigator. The 737 flies and lands fine with one engine and electrical failure down to battery power in VMC conditions like they had in Korea. The question is, of course, why did the pilots decide to land immediately with gear and flaps up at an non-survivable landing speed on a relatively short runway? Normally you would tell the tower on the Captain's radio (FO radio would be out) you were going to hold VFR (fly in circles) to run checklists and have the tower roll the emergency vehicles. You'd run the engine failure checklist, electrical failure checklist, brief the single-engine approach, lower flaps to 15, lower the gear and run the emergency extension checklist if needed, then land with flaps 15 (standard single-engine flap setting).
    In the crash video you can hear an engine running and the right thrust reverser seemed to deploy on landing so it appears at least one engine was operating at touchdown. If that ends up being true, then this is my best guess at what happened. Possibly the combination of losing an engine, transitioning to a single-engine go-around, having smoke in the cockpit from the bird ingestion, and almost complete loss of electrical power caused the pilot to make a series of fatal decisions to get the plane on the ground too quickly.

    • @cruzin6123
      @cruzin6123 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +15

      I think its starting to show a combination of mechanical problems and mistakes made by the pilots. I don't understand why they didn't do a second go around and if the landing gear didn't deploy, why they didn't attempt to deploy it manually. Their are so many factors to consider in this case. As Juan says, all the holes in the cheese lined up.

    • @spvillano
      @spvillano 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +17

      I'd back it up farther in the events chain.
      Why did they elect TOGA on strike during landing. Even with power loss, seconds from landing, the brakes would've worked to stop the aircraft safely.
      I am honestly thinking it was a startle response driven error that set the entire chain of events into a hot mess.
      I'm also suspecting that they had one immediate power loss in one engine, damage that eventually caused the other engine to fail as well, but initially allowed degraded thrust and loss of AC power hampering critical functions, coupled with a no time, no power and resulting in no ideas that could help in the awful mess they found themselves in.
      Telling was the not going around, but going reciprocal. Also suggestive was the damage from photos I saw of the fans, #1 having only collapsed fan components at the bottom, suggesting it wasn't even windmilling on impact, #2 showing damage consistent with a damaged fan still rotating, although due to the limited area showing damage, likely windmilling on impact and obviously missing elements.
      It's a tragic end for a workhorse of an aircraft, crew and passengers.

    The 737 engine fire/engine severe damage or separation checklist is composed of 5 items. The second item states to close the thrust lever of the affected engine. For those who are claiming the good engine was shutdown, this step of the emergency checklist would show up on CDR, since the engine start lever cut off action (effectively shutting down the engine) would only be executed on the next step of the checklist. So, CDR would record the thrust lever of a good engine being closed just before the end of data recording.

      The bird strike triggered the decision to abort the landing, which would normally give the pilots time to determine the damage and go through checklists. Immediately after they initiated the go around, they lost power (or thought they did, or caused the power loss by shutting off the wrong engine), initiating the quick emergency landing.

    To be honest I'd expect turning off the wrong engine would still be visible on the FDR and recorded on the CVR. The moment you turn off the engine I'd assume the generator will still be providing power until it slows down to the point where it can't keep up with the demand. So if the engine was OK at the moment of turning it off, it should still be recorded, because at the time of turning it off the CVR/FDR system still should have had power if the engine and generator were OK..

  • @theuniversaldisneyian2021
    @theuniversaldisneyian2021 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +33

    It's also possible that they didn't even have a functional APU. Per the MMEL, a functional APU is not necessary on the 737 (except for ETOPS) as long as the engine generators are functional.
    *UPDATE*: As it turns out, the accident aircaft suffered a tailstrike during a takeoff in 2021, and resulted in the airline being fined 2.2 billion won for safety violations. If the APU was not functional, this accident may explain why; the tailstrike may have damaged or destroyed the APU. Jeju considered it a minor incident and didn’t even add it to the accident records, so if the APU was damaged, they may well have either neglected to repair/swap it out, or the repair job may have been inadequate.
    Now, while it is possible they shut down the wrong engine, there is also a very good possiblity that they suffered multiple bird strikes. The person who filmed the right engine compressor stall stated that he was indoors, heard a loud metallic bang and ran outside just in time to film the incident with the right engine. It's quite possible that the initial sound he heard that made him go outside was a bird strike on the left engine, which would have likely also suffered a compressor stall like we saw on the right engine. The left engine may have failed much earlier than the right, or they may have shut it down to prevent smoke from entering the cockpit.
    Now the question is, why did they lose electrical power when the right engine was still seen to be functional as we saw with the video of the landing from the plane's front right side? My theory is that the strike on the right engine may have damaged and disabled the generator, so that it's no longer supplying power, but the engine is still at least partially functioning (but for all we know, it may have been in the process of failing). I believe another possibility is that something (perhaps multiple compressor stalls) may have caused the generator to trip and shut off. Now with two dead generators and a nonfunctional APU, the plane is in complete electrical failure. That means no landing gear (there's still the system behind the copilot's seat), no flaps (they may have forgotten about the Alternate Flaps system) and no power for the FDR & CVR. And if you're in full electrical failure, you'll want to land ASAP.
    If the generator just tripped, I believe they could reset it, but there would have beeen too much going on and little time to think up possibilities. Likewise, it's possible they had a functional APU, but no time to turn it on either. Final note, newer planes have a backup battery for at least the CVR, but this was an older 15-year old plane and it doesn't look like it had said battery, so it may have had an exemption if it was ordered *before* the mandate, even if it was produced *after* the mandate.

      Pull up gear & retract flaps (or not fully extend them when critically needed.)?

      @theuniversaldisneyian2021 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@dudeonbike800 You're right, and that one has been bothering me as well. I have heard some theories that may be plausible.
      One possibility is that they may have started the go-around before the bird strikes. It has been suggested that they either saw the birds or were reacting to the ATC warning, and began a go-around to try to avoid the birds (while neglecting to call out the go-around until after the strike) and tragically ended up ingesting some anyway.
      Another depends on when they suffered the electrical failure. If the right generator was not immediately disabled, or if it tripped only after surges, then it’s possible that after they lost the left engine but saw that they still had thrust on the right, they decided to go-around in the hopes of not suffering a strike on the right engine (failing to realize that it had already taken significant damage). During the go-around, the right generator may have finally failed or tripped and they lost electrical power. All of this may have even occured in under a minute.
      If they underestimated the damage to the right engine, it’s possible that they may have intended to try to diagnose the problem (maybe burn some fuel as well) but after the right generator failed during the go-around, they decided to land immediately, instead of completing the go-around which would have seen them lining back up with 19.
      Now of course this does leave the fact that if you’re already lined up after the inital bird strike, then the best thing to do is to just proceed with landing right away.
      That leads to the final possibility, which is, regardless of the timing of any of the events, the go-around may simply have been a spur of the moment “panic reaction”. They suffered one or more bird strikes and began performing the go-around without thinking it through.

    This is one heck of a mystery at this point. If one generator fails, the bus tie relays close to drive both systems with one generator. If both engines fail, the battery or apu generator is all that is left. It seems unlikely that a B737 could make it around the traffic pattern with both engines failed or shut down especially touching down mid field at 190 knots. This one will take a while to figure out and there will be much speculation.

      Yep! 2216 had to have at least partial thrust on one engine most of the time after the bird strike(s)/compressor stall(s).. The 737-800 has a glide ratio of about 12:1 both engines out clean. From under 1000' AGL at 144 kts. on final approach, there's no way the plane could accelerate to +-190 kts. then fly about 8 miles including a 180 degree turn in the pattern prior to a midfield landing on Rwy 19. The math just doesn't work out without at least some thrust.

      With flaps up, minimum flaps up manoeuvring speed is around 190 knots, depending on weight. Any lower than that, you're close to stalling the aircraft. After the go-around, they cleaned up the aircraft, so had to accelerate to minimum flaps up manoeuvring speed, which would have been near 190 knots.

    "Good" news is forensic examination of the engines will tell us if one or both of the engines failed due to a bird strike, and if either of them were producing power on impact. Just finished my recurrent today and (coincidentally????) practiced engine failure on final. We should always remember that having briefed the scenario before hand and having read the Flight Crew Training Manual description of this maneuver before a practice session in the box, is definitely not the same thing as reacting in real time to an unforseen emergency. But it certainly raises awareness and preparedness. Training records will also tell us if the crew had been trained on and when they last practiced this scenario.

      I have come to be suspicious of the bird strike theory. This is certainly what the pilots believed, but that may only be because the thought was put in their heads by the control tower seconds before. Whatever it was, it caused a major electrical problem to all systems. This just seems way more than a single bird strike would cause.
      But I am just wildly speculating.

    Surely there would be something prior to the blackout that indicates what happened? If the FDR shows a loss of power on one side (thrust and/or electrical) then it is not unreasonable to assume a wrong-engine shutdown. Unless the crew were totally silent, I also expect the CVR to contain a snippet of something immediately preceding the blackout.
    Let's say the wrong engine is shutdown, there will be sufficient time from fuel cutoff actuation to power loss for the CVR/FDR to record it, as the engine won't shutdown and trip off the generator instantly.

  • @marclandreville6367
    @marclandreville6367 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +10

    Turns out that, along with ADS-B data loss, both CVR and FDR quit at the same time. Since they are on separate buses, it suggests to me that they had cascading electrical failures as a result of an engine failure. It cannot be due to shutting down the wrong engine because they would not shut down the engine so soon (i.e. immediatley within seconds after striking birds). It would be at least one minute because first, they did a go-around; if an engine quit, you have the initial startle factor, then controlling the airplane during assymetric thrust, then more seconds figuring out what's wrong (even if you didn't do that right), then reaching out to turn off the fuel control switch. Even then, there are no memory items in case of a flame out as QRH is pulled out. And even if it was severe damage or compressor stall (Engine Limit Surge or Stall memory items) , the PF would begin the drill, starting with the autothrottle arm switch, then retarding the thrust lever on the evidently bad engine and perhaps recovering it, and no pilot would want to shut down an engine when partial power was available. That takes time, whereas the buses IMO started failing way before any crew action could have caused them to screw up. After a flame out, if any one of the 2 Bus Tie Breakers failed to close, then that's when your problems start because AC Transfer Buse on the failed engine side remains off line. If the right engine quit, and one of the BTB fails to close, then the RH AC Transfer Bus is off line, then you can't lower the flaps through the Alternate Flap system. There could have been a BUS fault also, tripping the other AC Transfer BUS off line at the same time. The good side can be recovered, but it takes time with the QRH. With perhaps a 2 engine bird strike, it may have pushed the PIC to head to the nearest threshold ASAP, given that many of the cockpit screens would to be blank or blank temporarily, with perhaps a looming double engine failure. But who knows. It's going take a lot of investigating for finding related failures. It's easy to blame "Pilot Error" when nothing is evident. These 2 weren't newbies and I give them, at this point, the benefit of the doubt.

The hypothesis that both engines suffered damage/failure via bird strike is plausible, and so is the hypothesis that the crew panicked and shut down a working engine.

Around the same time #2 makes its very pronounced puff from the bird strike #1 does as well. It is just not as pronounced as the other one because most of it happens just inside the exhaust area. But the white puff is there. Very similar to a flameout I have seen turbines on the ground do before. Its almost certain that he ingested a bird or birds and possibly more than #2 did. If it flamed out or was damaged enough from the bird ingestion to shut down, that would possible explain the loss of power to those units. It would also explain the lack of heat blur from #1 as it comes in to touch down.

    This is becoming more and more mysterious with the best plausible explanation being an almighty panic on the flight deck.

      Postscript. Observers saw the flaps down as the JeJu Air jet passed overhead on final approach. This was when at least one birdstrike was observed. The jet then passed out of sight. There might have been another strike in the other engine if it had flown into a flock of birds. In the case of the BA777 at Heathrow the engines suddenly failed late on final approach. The crew extended the glide by raising the flaps and gingerly coaxing the plane over the fence. Probably it was close to stalling. It hit the ground hard, collapsed a main gear and slid to one side on the grass just short of the tarmac. Speed was by that time minimal. Everyone survived.
      The 'what ifs' in the JeJu Air case are legion. The consensus view is that if both engines had failed for whatever reason - birdstrike, wrong engine shutdown - a configuration to best glide distance might have saved the plane and its passengers. One must always consider, however, that a landing short would have impacted the same ILS structure that the plane actually did from the reciprocal direction. The aggregate elements of this tragedy add up to the truly diabolical.

If the plane lost all power prior to landing on the runway without landing gear or flaps, would the surviving crew members seated in the back have been able to notice or determine if there was power in the cabin-such as lights or other systems-during this extreme emergency?
    I understand that the crew members do not remember the moment of impact, but if there was a lack of power inside the airplane as it touched down and glided, they may, over time, be able to help investigators determine what systems were functioning in their part of the plane. Additionally, they might recall whether they could hear the engines.

      @@martinross5521 That it had to be mandated is absurd and we all know it. Boeing clearly built the original system in a non-fail-safe manner, despite it being required TO be fail-safe. Then retconned the whole thing by offering it as an "upgrade". To put this into perspective, this is basically how your lawnmower works - the thing works as long as the engine is running as it has a small generator onboard but no battery. You car, since 1960 ( Chrysler ), has had an alternator and all electrical systems operating off of the battery. The engine only charges said battery. For almost 50 years before this plane was built they have had the technology and yet here we are still with planes that lose power and their minds if the engines have problems.
      Having an engine go out should be "oh, the engine is out - generator 1 is offline" - and nothing changes with the entire rest of the plane. 100% of the systems work and nothing at all goes dead - just you have a battery reserve issue to deal with. Versus oops - half or our systems are on backup and half are disabled - hope the other engine keeps running...

But now I'm wondering about alternate sources of information - would a subset of folks have had their phones recording throughout such a terrible event - and would any memory cards be recoverable? If so could these have captured left and right side engine noise from which frequency and power could be calculated, maybe vibration levels as well, sounds of flap and gear extension/retraction, GPS location and wind speed, cabin lighting and any announcements made or comments about strange AC smells? Would this be enough to put together a rough picture of the plane's changing energy state in the last 4 mins?

    I did a little more calculations: if this airplane uniformly accelerated from 144 to 200 knots in four minutes, it flew a whopping distance of 21 kilometers! (If it accelerated faster, distance could have only been greater!)Therefore, a graphic shown at the beggining of Blancolirios' clip is very wrong, or let's say - at least not in scale! Quite out-of-scale.
    However, the ADS-B data point that an aircraft's ADS-B transmitter seized at about 9,3 km from runway treshold, which does match the aircraft height on normal glidepath. This point is above the sea, therefore the first video (of engine surging) was taken later on, maybe one minute or more after the strike. This means that the aircraft had landing gear lowered and flaps extended for some time after the bird strike.
    21 kilometer distance could have only been made if an airplane veered for let's say, three kilometers, then made a U-turn of 3 km in diameter and then attempted to land...

    If this is a sudden stop at the same time and this was at the moment of the birdstrike it might indicate a very unexpected and catastrophic event happened with the plane and/or in the cockpit.
    Also, i cannot see the pilots switching of electrical power from whatever system at the exact moment of the birdstrike.

    My 2 cents worth has to do with maintenance. What if the last person who hooked up the fire switch panel reversed the fire switch cannon plugs. I know it is possible on the 727 because when I picked up a 727 from a contract Maintenace heavy check during preflight when I pulled the number 2 engine fire handle the Number 3 engine generator light came on. I dropped the panel and reversed the canon plugs and all returned to normal. If the crew pulled the correct engine fire switch and the other engine shut down, they became a glider. If this is still true, the FAA needs to require that the wire harness and canon plug be color coded, Green on green and yellow on yellow and that Boeing put different style plugs on the left and right fire switches and still with color coding on all new 737s.

    If there is an overload on the electrical system, or if a protection system like a circuit breaker trips in response to an issue, both buses could be temporarily or permanently disabled as a safety precaution.
    The electrical system on the 737-800 includes bus tie switches that connect and manage the distribution of power between Bus A and Bus B. A failure in the bus tie system, or a malfunction in the bus tie switches, could prevent power from being routed to either bus.
    In some cases, the flight crew can manually control the bus tie switches through the Electrical Panel in the cockpit. This allows them to isolate or connect buses as necessary to preserve power for essential systems.
    Not knowing the layout of this aircraft, maybe a pilot could explain where on the upper panel these bus tie switches are?

    This tragic incident raises some critical questions, especially with the discovery that the black boxes stopped recording just four minutes before the crash. It’s interesting to think about what the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) might have captured prior to that point-engine performance, control inputs, and system warnings. If the pilots inadvertently shut down the wrong engine, the FDR could hold clues, such as the specific control commands made.
    The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) could also provide vital context. Were the pilots discussing which engine to shut down? Were there any signs of confusion or miscommunication in the cockpit? This would be especially important if they were under pressure to make split-second decisions after the reported bird strike.
    If a wrong engine shutdown did occur, it highlights the importance of clear protocols and situational awareness in such emergencies. Bird strikes are complex to handle, but proper identification of the affected engine is critical before taking action.
    I hope investigators can retrieve enough from the available data to shed light on the pilots’ decisions and actions. It’s a tragic reminder of how even small errors in high-pressure situations can lead to devastating consequences.

Do not place a solid barrier close to the end of a runway 2. Install EMAS arresting material at the end of every runway 3. In the event of a major engine malfunction on final approach consider continuing to the runway if at all possible 4. Provide independent backup power to the FDR and CVR and retrofit if necessary (so that regular viewers of accident investigation videos won't be 'disappointed').

      How convenient. So in this narrative they shut down both engines on initial approach before even attempting a go around. Well their story is not adding up. Stinks!

There appear to be people who are deliberately trying to invent scenarios which involve a ridiculous degree of crew negligence.

    Non pilot here. The plane had been pretty much in continual use for the previous couple of days, with very minimal down time. Wonder what was listed as inoperable in the MEL (Minimum equipment list). And if items were on the MEL that meant it should not have been flying. Wonder if the APU was listed as inop on the MEL?

      That’s the exact purpose of the MEL - to allow the airplane to operate without certain specific systems operative.

    Very frustrating situation as we need to figure out what happened so that lessons can be learned. So far, the main lesson is that the recorders should have independent power systems, but that's already something that newer aircraft have.

    I’m no FDR/CVR expert. But it’s obvious to me that if the systems normally monitored by FDR/CVR are no longer powered then there’s nothing to record. They are digital records, not analog. Ergo, an electronic exchange needs to occur between the microphone on the flight deck or the deflection sensor on a flight control. The 737 can revert to full mechanical flight control without electrics. Therefore battery backup of the FDR/CVR is redundant. Just my $0.02.

      The battery backup allows the data recorder and the voice recorder to record the loss of power to all the other systems.

      you have to consider the CVR and FDR as two VERY different entities and neither share anything as far as data.
      The CVR is an easy one and is wired to an area microphone on the flight deck and the crews headset mic. The CVR powers those microphones and is armed by different things, some aircraft it is engines at idle power for 5 min, or > 5 psi oil pressure or others whenever there is electrical power on the aircraft per part 121.
      The FDR's record around 1500 parameters and those components and sensors need to be powered to send data to those FDR channels - it just is not feasible to do. If they had the CVR data via battery backup this video would be a totally different subject

      There are eye witness reports of a failure to climb in the go-round, which would make a return for an opposite landing the only available option. There is NO evidence which tells how and why engine #1 stopped operating.

      @marclandreville6367 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      In a case like this, there is no benefit to shutting down an engine when you know you have to land ASAP. Not shutting down an engine has zero effect on performance, except if it's still running. So I don't know why everybody's so fixated on that. Even if the fire bell is ringing, you're not going to waste time in that situation when you think you're going to lose both engines when the runway is just minutes away. This isn't a prop plane, where you do have to shut it down so you can feather it. You don't feather turbofans.

      If they had shut down the operating engine (I presume you mean #1) by mistake, instead of shutting down the supposedly damaged #2 engine, then how come #2 seemed to be operating and the thrust reversal was clearly deployed when it was speeding down the runway on its belly?

      @marclandreville6367 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@istudios225 First, what would be the urgency in shutting down a failed engine? There's no difference in performance whether you leave it alone or secure it. Second, what makes you think that that the left engine was not damaged also and quit on its own accord? New video shows that the left engine also ingested a bird because a puff came out of the tailpipe near the time the right engine did the same thing, although it was less visible. All the landing video shows is that the right hand hydraulic system was operating because the right engine was driving the right engine driven hydraulic pump and the pilot pulled the right thrust reverser lever on landing. If the left thrust reverser was still stowed, it means either that it was not deployed manually, or that there was no hydraulic pressure to deploy the reverser because engine driven pump was not working because the engine was not producting thrust or because there was no electrical power to power the left electric hydraulic pump because the left AC Transfer bus was unpowered. Remember that, the ADS-B/transponder failed nearly at the same time as the CVR and FDR, which suggests that there were cascading electrical failures affecting different buses. OTOH, it may be because someone pulled the left hand engine fire switch, thereby inactivating the left hydraulic system, in which case they would have shut down the engine, but not necessarily in error since it appears now that it did ingest a bird. That's why investigations take so long as aircraft, even pieces of junk like the 737 (did fly it long ago) remain fairly complex.
