    A Icelandair Boeing 757 carrying 82 passengers and crew is on final approach to Oslo, in Norway. Suddenly, the plane pitches down, and begins diving straight for the ground. Pandemonium erupts on board, as the engines roar and the passengers are lifted out of their seats. The pilots are panicking - they have no idea what is happening their aircraft. Will they be able to pull it out of its terrifying plunge before time runs out? This is the story of Icelandair flight 315.

    • @Secretlyanothername
      @Secretlyanothername ปีที่แล้ว +65

      There's a name for this phenomenon, and it's known as an "authority gradient". The older and more powerful person in the cockpit makes mistakes (in this case an unstabilised approach) and the younger less powerful one stays silent. The cure is training to enable people to become comfortable with speaking up without negative consequences.

    • @amar-2
      @amar-2 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      ​@@Secretlyanothername Exactly. The most extreme example of this phenomenon led to the Tenerife accident. The KLM FO pointed out to his captain, the top ranking pilot for KLM, that they didn't have takeoff clearance. The captain stopped his throttle up, but within a minute went ahead anyway. This time the FO was silent. The rest was history.

      just one "TF are you doing yo??? lets just do another approach man" from the FO would've just worked wonders and would've prevented this from every happening

    A somatogravic illusion is VERY powerful.
    I remember once I was onboard a flight taking off from Heathrow into violent winds and turbulence, not long after lifting off the runway, the pilot suddenly increased the thrust and it felt like we were on a rollercoaster going up.
    I momentarily panicked and thought we were ascending almost vertically and the pilot had lost control until I looked out the window and noticed the horizon, to which I realised we were ascending at a normal rate, but my inner ear had mistaken the extreme acceleration for a steep climb.

    • @MrXtachx
      @MrXtachx 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I was almost expecting something even wilder to happen. The ILS glideslope would get inverted and show up higher than the airplane if it veers too far forward. This is a real thing that happens (!!) which is why the ILS has to be verified with the expected altitudes and distances from the chart. This is called an inverted secondary glideslope. Even wilder - there are several of them - the first one at 6 degrees is inverted and the next one at 9 degrees behaves exactly as the normal 3 degree glideslope - just at 9 degree of descent.

    I shall be flying with Icelandair from Heathrow to Keflavik on the 20th and back again on the 25th April, so I'm relieved that lessons have been learned. One of the more reassuring things about all these air crash investigation channels is the evidence that lessons really are learned after any major incident. By the way I always keep my seat-belt fastened precisely because of sudden episodes like this, although I'm usually thinking of clear-air turbulence.

      This is why you don't intercept an ILS from above. The two sets of radio waves form lobes in a particular pattern. Too high and you could miss it. Or worse, intercept the secondary inverted lobes which could cause your autopilot to work upside down. It happened in one incident.

It's even worse that they didn't know what was happening, only that it was nothing good. Just imagine being closer to being vertical than being horizontal. It's a good job lessons were learnt without anyone needing to die first. Simple solutions often elude you when you're hellbent on doing something in one certain way, such as in this case taking a slightly longer route and handing control over to the co-pilot who had reliable instruments

      I was thinking it was because of the plane being too far above the glide slope. That can happen. If you intercept too high, it is possible to get a false glide slope. However, that does not explain why the FO’s worked the first time and the captain lost the signal the second time when correctly established. That seems to suggest faulty equipment to me.

    I paraglide. If the wind blows from behind you easily miss the landing area, so the first thing you do is to fly an extra curve to loose hight, which really should have been the instinct of the experienced captain. Get-there-itis us a bad thing, makes you ignore your instincts.

    As an old airline Captain,I'll never put a finger or laugh at anorher colleague,because we are all subject to errors.But as a rule ot thumb,handing the plane to your copilot is a very reasonable thing to do when you are in dire straights.Copilots are good at flying,and Captains should be good at assessing.Go arounds are a messy business,and the low weight 757 is a rocket and prone to give you somatogravic illusions.If your altitudes for go around and speeds are wrong because you haven't pressed the Toga button and set your GA altitude,flying turns into a nightmare.If rhey had just asked the controller for more distance,entered a holding pattern or just extended the gear way before,things would have been much easier.False readings on the Captains Adi,was also a factor.Thank God they walked away with it and the poor passengers,all in one piece.Fly Dubay,for similar reasons,was not so lucky.After all,we are just poor trained humans flying fast unforgiving machines in bad weather,and we pay dearly for our mistakes.I can't say the same of my lawyer,doctor,or my tax advisor.I pay their mistakes.Best regards from Spain.

    • @bluedistortions

      Good to hear a pilots perspective, I was also wondering why they didn't reduce speed earlier, but I'm not a pilot, just seemed like common sense.
      I think the "never point fingers" approach to captains is very toxic, though. He was breaking a lot of rules, and everyone on board nearly paid the ultimate price for it. He showed serious lack of judgment.

  • @mycroftsanchez901

    • @bluedistortions
      @bluedistortions 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As soon as that happened and the FO reported his instruments were solid, the captain should have handed over control to the FO, which he only did after nearly crashing the plane himself. It's just another case of the arrogance of the captain, with a competent and level headed FO, seems to be a theme in these videos.
      If the FO hadn't aggressively yelled at the captain, I doubt he would have come out of his stupor in time.

    This was such an interesting situation; I hadn't heard of this one before. When they started receiving all those shortcuts from ATC...I could easily understand how it could become a very heavy workload for the crew, very quickly. (I'm currently going through a virtual 737 flight sim course that Mentour Pilot, along with another captain, is leading...and we recently just went over descents and landings, and it's a lot of work on a normal approach, without shortcuts being given.) That's why CRM is so so so crucial and I'm glad it's so heavily emphasized now.
    Also, just wanted to say the animations in this video was fantastic, especially when you zoomed in on the instruments to clearly show what you were referring to when you were explaining things. I think that was really helpful for people.
    And unrelated...curious what mic you use? Haha It sounds really good!

So nice to drive both on the highway and as a traffic basher to work. The 6sp gear box still feels tight as dos the steering and everything else for that matter. Regularly serviced with quality oil and it’s been bullet proof. I’ve only had to change the power steering pump which I did myself, not hard to do and not expensive. My wife drives an Audi TTs but I prefer to drive the Honda, that’s why I’ll probably never sell it but keep it as a spare car.
