@@lds251 incursions are if you're going INTO some area you shouldn't go (e.g. if somebody else is landing and you drive onto the active runway), while excursions are for when you're going OUT of some area you should stay in (e.g. go off the runway you should be landing on)
In my humble opinion, this is the "best video" you have ever put up in your channel, from the perspective of the tremendous detailed technical information you rendered on what is involved in a landing. Thank you so very much, your efforts are well appreciated. 👌👌
There were two excursions at my home airport in the last winter. In November an empty 747 cargo plane went way off the end of the runway and was totalled. Fortunately the 4 crew on board survived. The cause is still under investigation, but a wet runway may be a factor. In March a 767 was rolling out when it hit an icy patch and was pushed by the wind to the side of the runway. The nose wheel hit a snow bank and the plane spun around. No major injuries, and no damage.
Rain's pelting down o a rolling flat-top that's upwards of 30 degrees off "level" at any point and time, and you're trying to put an aircraft down at 200 knots or thereabouts... Yeah, just a little bit exciting... ;o)
Happened to me once as a passenger landing in London. It was 30+ years ago and I forget wether it was Gatwick or Heathrow, but it was pouring rain and the next thing I knew we were in the grass.... Chutes deployed & all, straight into the mud & pouring rain.... Fun times.
I love how he explains things, very informative and detail.... even for general topic like this... i thought this video is just gonna be some boring explanation video, but it's not...
He’s grown up now and going for his type rating exam next month. The dog knows how to fly a plane, he just has a little trouble with the barking. Edit: braking
One of the best videos in ages, plus great doggie action as well. Well done. Having landed in monsoon season in Asia many times the thrust reversers produce the most spectacular landings.
Many years ago the regional jet I was on almost went off the runway due to ice and snow on the runway. I even felt the jet sliding very slightly sideways after landing. I think that due to the pilot and co pilot doing a great job saved the day. They corrected the angle of the slide and we stopped meters from the end of the runway. There was only enough room for the small jet to turn around and go to the terminal. I think it was in 1993.
I just want to say an open and honest THANK YOU for all the videos and explanations you are posting. Your clips are pure gold for all the aviation enthusiasts out there - very well explained and showing a true love for flying. You are a great pilot and I hope one day I will get to be one of your passengers. Cheers!
@Mentourpilot ... it is VERY obvious why you are a "Type Rating" pilot! An excellent teaching style, that understands the students' perspective, and then explains it ... all the way up to the point that the student really "gets it". Congratulations Sir! Job well done!
Well, I saw this video right now...but I saw a lot of your videos before, and they are reaalllyy helpful with my IFR Rating going on at the Moment. "Stalling out" and "arresting the descent rate", the explanations are brilliant. ! Thanks for the excellent work !! Keep it up.
I would love for you to dive a little deeper into explaining how thrust reversers work. I would hope to see an illustration showing how airflow is changed when the reversers are engaged. This was a great episode!
I've seen him explain the reverse thruster on a different video. Wish I could recall the title for you. But I think it was where a malfunctioning thrust reverser caused a crash.
I love you little dog I recently lost my Jack Russell that I had for 18 years love your Channel I fly a Cessna 172 with my father on weekends great time togethe👍👍👍
@@MentourPilot please do a review on Airline Commander or Real Flight Simulator running on RORTOS Flight Engine. I have been obsessed over the past 3 days and i think it's one of the free flight simulators with the most realistic physics. Please give your opinion on that thank you.
Side question: whenever you show footage from the simulator, I see that you continually move the yoke is a seemingly random fashion which gives the impression that the aircraft is very delicate to handle (as opposed to a car's steering wheel which is normally quite steady). Is the aircraft indeed so sensitive to these little movements and are they crucial? In other words, when flying in normal conditions, would just holding the yoke steady cause the aircraft to deviate from the intended trajectory ?
I asked an Air Canada 777-2 pilot about this when I was travelling to the states a couple of years ago. He said that the larger planes feel as if they "lag", they have so much inertia that you need large control inputs to make it respond very quickly, like when landing/following a glide slope. However, you can only apply it for fractions of a second without ending up over correcting. So it ends up looking like you're all over the place.
@@PerfidiousLeaf wow, I would suck at that bad, and crash often (or at least once). As an unrelated note I drive a mid-90s Japanese sub-compact. Thanks for the info.
When I was little I remember watching this old Soviet movie when something happens to the pilot and some random person is landing the plane by taking orders of the wounded pilot. Is this something you can film? I would love to see that but I assume that would be hard to do. Thank you!
I love your content! Speaking of wet runway, stabilized approach and spoilers, the crash of American Airlines 1420 would be a perfect example in response to this episode.
I thought that was a stuffed animal with D batteries until this video. Only real animals lunge at insects. I learn something everyday! Thanks Mentour for all the great videos. Thanks for all your efforts!
Not a pilot or a trainee, but I have recently developed a general interest in aviation. But it also applies to the work I'm in - IT. Take-offs and landings are similar to risky operations in my field - code deployments, production database changes. There has to be a similar plan and risk assessment. The goal is to go through the operation quickly with 0 errors and 0 loss of operability from the users' perspective. The 'goal-oriented' attitude we have is similar and can lead to avoidable mistakes as well.
Dear Mentour Pilot: What amazes me is your ability to stay focused especially when your pet is seeking your attention. I definitely could not do that. I would put my pet dog in another room during the filming and not allow my pet to interfere with my video. But you seem to have the extraordinary power to dismiss the interference of your pet and continue with your discourse. I have too much ADD to allow myself to present a video while my pet is seeking my attention. This is why I want pilots like you sitting in the Captain's seat on my flight to wherever.
@@GlamorganManor Agreed. But in my 50-year experience with associations with airline pilots, most are not nearly as well adjusted as Mentour Pilot. My experience is that many are competent, but a certain fraction has family problems. My experience as a flight Instructor who has made observations over the years teaching "Airline Pilots" how to fly smaller civil aviation aircraft is that a significant fraction have family problems. I'm not a "shrink" by any means. But my guess is that the flight schedules of many airline pilots are not "conducive" to healthy marital relationships. Especially with the younger pilots on the "Totem pole". Being away from the family for many days can create family discord. This has been my experience and is strictly from my observations. I also suspect the airline flight schedules and the "family schedule" may be in conflict. The Pilot's Union is a big plus for the pilots. IMHO, Cargo pilots for large cargo companies like UPS and Fed Ex hold the best of all possible positions. I know this because a good friend of mine is a Captain for a major cargo carrier. His seniority is very low ( i.e. high as in beneficial as if being the best on the list). But other pilots not being part of the "Majors" may have a hard time keeping their families together. My hope is that the shortage of airline pilots will soon benefit those who have worked for years slaving to become on the list of the "major" airline companies along with the perks that should come with the position.
You have no idea how much I have wondered about this. I have hydroplaned in the car on the freeway. I didn't do any conscious math calculations but I just thought of my car as being more like a boat than a car. Having taken a year a physics, I now get why you would calculate how much distance you will need to stop. Having taken neurobiology, I learned that people's brains automatically do many of the physics calculations in life and it's really cool to learn the actually science involved in these calculations. This is cool!
Calculate twice; land instead of crash. It seems like it might be wise to pre-calculate a second possibility based on the forecast at that runway that day. I do this kind of thing with my garden and the worst thing that can happen there is that I kill a plant. If you know that there might be rain showers before you come into land there, even if the probability isn't that high when you leave, you might as well do the calculate before you are in a holding pattern and more likely to feel slightly pressed for time.
Another outstanding video, which makes this very clear and easy to understand. I'm wondering though, with respect to approach phase stabilization: How does this relate to the countless number of crosswind landings I've seen? I'd (not a pilot) have done a go-around or diversion in pretty much every case I've seen. 😃
Yes, good ole Naval Aviation, I was on CV64. After being in the Navy, I use to travel with about 5+ teammates for a defense contractor each week. We would fly on the old Dash 8, which held I believe a max of 39 people. As soon as we landed, we would all yell either Navy or Air Force. The other passengers would freak out, thinking what the heck is going on with these guys??? We would explain to them the landing. If the landing was smooth, AIR FORCE. If the pilot planted the plane, put a divit into the runway, struts almost coming through the wings, LOL, that was obviously NAVY. I myself am a Pilot, every Naval Aviator scares me.
Same goes for the French! The Armee de l' Air (Air Force) is in constant competition with the Navy branch, who are mostly flying Rafale jets , not Mirage! In a joint exercise debriefing, an Air Force captain yelled at a Navy pilot: You can talk, you who don't even know if you are fish or fowl!
It's a year late, but maybe you will see my question....When we as passengers feel a severe braking going on, when we are glad to have seat belts on, just what is happening? Is that the wheel brakes, or the thrust reversers, the spoilers, the speed brakes, or what? There are so many things about flying that are terrifying for some of us, but knowing what's happening sure does help calm the nerves. Love this channel!
One thing I've found flying the Cessna 172 in the new Flight Simulator is that it's actually quite tricky to steer and brake an aircraft on the ground. With the 172, when you go to full throttle, the engine generates enough torque to cause the plane to yaw left. You've got to be ready with the rudder pedals, or you'll be in the grass. It gets really tricky in a crosswind - the wind blows on your rudder, and tries to weathervane your plane into the wind right as it starts moving. Watch that windsock...
Hej Petter! Your videos are now even better!!! Even has automatic replay function. Love the explaining PiP bits. Got 12/15 on the quiz, I was sure your FO got the bug :-)
First let me emphasize how much I appreciate this channel! I would like to suggest that coming in hot and high is the main reason for runway excursions. And the reason for that can be a culture of adding an extra 5 knots to the Vref for all kinds of things, just to show how careful the company is. Of cause a minus landing is much more deadly since it happens at higher speeds and energy is increasing with the square of the speed but what is the ratio between minus landings and over-shootings? If we exclude minus landings caused by other reasons than miss judgement by the pilot I suspect that minus landings are very rare. Also consider that dissipating excess energy once you are in ground effect is very slow, and the more extra energy you are carrying the longer you float. Dissipating it on short final is a snap but once you got down it is not and fact is that on a great deal of landings there is a noticeable amount of floating. How about starting to add 3 knots instead of 5 for crosswinds and gusts and so on?
What if only one side of the runway has accumulated water, such that one side is braking while the other is skidding? Would the plane enter a spin? How do you recover?
One way to prevent runway excursions is to use planes fitted with both reversers and braking parachutes. When landing on scenarios where runway excursion is more likely, use both reversers and 'chutes to slow the plane down.
Speaking of stormy weather in the summer, storms usually bring changing wind and wind shear. Just another reason why you should be extra conservative because if your 10 mile an hour headwind turns to a 20 mile-an-hour tail Wendy could easily find yourself running out of Runway when combined with poor braking and any other small factors that can quickly add up
One subject I am curious about is what is the procedure for a rapid descent. As with the Southwest 1380. As in what do you do to get down fast. Maybe you have covered this but I didn't see it. Love the dogs...
Yeah, thing is, he said “All *good* airlines have a no-blame policy for go-arounds”. And frankly, Aeroflot doesn’t have the best reputation for safety. Couldn’t pay me enough money to fly on one of their planes, despite their massive improvement in safety in the last two decades.
Some years ago in a Brussels-Madrid fly,in the takeoff the crew tried to fly the plane over half a meter of water-ice-snow mix over the runaway (the airport crew just get of their vehicles throughout the windows of their cars). I was on the window and all I can saw was the terminal being closer & further very quick when the nose of the plane try to go up...Of course the crew just jump on the brakes and we stop like 90º to the right in the runaway,I suspect in the middle of nowhere cos all I can saw was a flooded airport. I think it was a little sketchy,nothing bad happened. It was a bad decision try to take off in such conditions. 5 hours latter we take off no problem.
Not sure where to post it, but the mid air incident of QF72 was on TV here in Australia. The story was big on the effects to individuals and their injuries but a bit light on what was going on regarding the control systems and mechanics of the aircraft. Can you tell us about that one? After seeing some of your videos I would love to see you look into this one.
Dear Mentor! As a big fan of your channel I REALLY appreciate all your podcasts. I’m just a common “enthusiast” but yet I always check if you have released something recently (don’t worry, I’m not a stalker 😉). BUT there is ONE thing you must improve on (Skillshare?) - and that is your English pronunciation- especially of TH. I cannot here any difference between “TRUST” (ie; rely on someone, Swedish “lita på”) and ”THRUST” (like feeling the force of acceleration on the runway, Swedish “gaspådrag”). In most cases the context gives the explanation, but not always - and anyway as a line training captain i think it’s paramount that your English is, if not “flawless”, at least not a source for misunderstanding. You have to TRUST when you rotate that you have sufficient THRUST to get airborne. I hope I didn’t offend you now, because I regard this to be one of the best, if not THE BEST, channel here on TH-cam! Keep up the good spirit!
The Miami Air plane N732MA , i caterd that plane for the summer season 2018 at ERHD (Rotterdam The Hague Airport) they where flying for Transavia to help for the busy season. Sorry for my English, im dutch.
The landing is always the most planned part of a trip and where most training is focused. What worries me the most is the takeoff. During take off, should something happen, you may have too little altitude to turn around.
@@sharoncassell9358 I don't think it seems hard for that to happen at all. The engines are taking the most stress on take off. When do you think an engin will fail? During a run up and something breaks!!
Just three days back a Boeing 737-800 of Spicejet, overshoot the main runway of Mumbai (VABB) airport, and till the evening of 4th July 2019, the aircraft could not be removed from the mud. This paralyzed the main runway and resulted in lots of flight cancelations, delays and flight diversions for about three days. It's now monsoon in Mumbai and almost every day it is raining heavily.
17:45 the thrust reversers seem to offer an other advantage here. It looks like they blow off a lot of the water in front of the tires, which makes the brakes more effective again. Or does that not matter?
On the airport of Congonhas in São Paulo a TAM flight had a reversor problem with wet runway and unfortunately the plane wasn't able to stop and went into a building next to the airport, no survivers and now there's a memorial over there. Very sad.
I know you've said there is no go around once thrust reversers are engaged, but have there been incidents where there were no other options and a successful go around was performed?
Runway excursions....you make it sound like they are going out of a nice drive over the weekend.
Nice, relaxing journey into the sea
I know-:) 😍 It's "incursions"
@@lds251 incursions are if you're going INTO some area you shouldn't go (e.g. if somebody else is landing and you drive onto the active runway), while excursions are for when you're going OUT of some area you should stay in (e.g. go off the runway you should be landing on)

In my humble opinion, this is the "best video" you have ever put up in your channel, from the perspective of the tremendous detailed technical information you rendered on what is involved in a landing. Thank you so very much, your efforts are well appreciated. 👌👌
There were two excursions at my home airport in the last winter. In November an empty 747 cargo plane went way off the end of the runway and was totalled. Fortunately the 4 crew on board survived. The cause is still under investigation, but a wet runway may be a factor. In March a 767 was rolling out when it hit an icy patch and was pushed by the wind to the side of the runway. The nose wheel hit a snow bank and the plane spun around. No major injuries, and no damage.
After seeing this, I really appreciate the skills of navy pilots doing their "controlled crashes" on a carrier especially in bad weather and seas.
Rain's pelting down o a rolling flat-top that's upwards of 30 degrees off "level" at any point and time, and you're trying to put an aircraft down at 200 knots or thereabouts... Yeah, just a little bit exciting... ;o)

As always, your way of explaing and delivery of the subject is great. By the way, 80% in the quiz :-) - I'm a LSA hobby pilot
Your dog is one of the cutest especially at 13:25 ❤
Your dog is hilarious, got a mind of their own
I love how Mentour is so chill about it as well. A lot of people would go: "Stupid Dog!! You Make Me Look Bad!!!"
YOUR DOG IS JUST SO CUTE
Excellent video. Solves many questions I was having in the sim. Thanks a lot.
It's a year late, but maybe you will see my question....When we as passengers feel a severe braking going on, when we are glad to have seat belts on, just what is happening? Is that the wheel brakes, or the thrust reversers, the spoilers, the speed brakes, or what?
There are so many things about flying that are terrifying for some of us, but knowing what's happening sure does help calm the nerves. Love this channel!
Always love and your informational videos
Great video Mentour i enjoyed it, loved the Patxi action replay too! Have a great weekend my friend.
Thank you! You to!
Brilliant informative video as always Mentour! Thank you :D
Great to hear that you like it! See you in the app!
Mentour Pilot Of course! 👨✈️
Thank you for a very good video as always. I started the quiz and realized that I need to watch the video again.
Dog is so cute !
One thing I've found flying the Cessna 172 in the new Flight Simulator is that it's actually quite tricky to steer and brake an aircraft on the ground. With the 172, when you go to full throttle, the engine generates enough torque to cause the plane to yaw left. You've got to be ready with the rudder pedals, or you'll be in the grass. It gets really tricky in a crosswind - the wind blows on your rudder, and tries to weathervane your plane into the wind right as it starts moving. Watch that windsock...
Cessna has propeller which has left torque so natural tendency is to slightly pull left.
Pilots are heroes really...I like your dog.
Hej Petter!
Your videos are now even better!!! Even has automatic replay function. Love the explaining PiP bits. Got 12/15 on the quiz, I was sure your FO got the bug :-)
First let me emphasize how much I appreciate this channel!
I would like to suggest that coming in hot and high is the main reason for runway excursions. And the reason for that can be a culture of adding an extra 5 knots to the Vref for all kinds of things, just to show how careful the company is. Of cause a minus landing is much more deadly since it happens at higher speeds and energy is increasing with the square of the speed but what is the ratio between minus landings and over-shootings? If we exclude minus landings caused by other reasons than miss judgement by the pilot I suspect that minus landings are very rare.
Also consider that dissipating excess energy once you are in ground effect is very slow, and the more extra energy you are carrying the longer you float. Dissipating it on short final is a snap but once you got down it is not and fact is that on a great deal of landings there is a noticeable amount of floating.
How about starting to add 3 knots instead of 5 for crosswinds and gusts and so on?
Notice Petter has the 'position marker' couch pillows in proper configuration.
What if only one side of the runway has accumulated water, such that one side is braking while the other is skidding? Would the plane enter a spin? How do you recover?
It'll probably park itself all by itself.
One way to prevent runway excursions is to use planes fitted with both reversers and braking parachutes. When landing on scenarios where runway excursion is more likely, use both reversers and 'chutes to slow the plane down.
Speaking of stormy weather in the summer, storms usually bring changing wind and wind shear. Just another reason why you should be extra conservative because if your 10 mile an hour headwind turns to a 20 mile-an-hour tail Wendy could easily find yourself running out of Runway when combined with poor braking and any other small factors that can quickly add up
Aww I did good on the quiz but I missed the last one. No fair! I never saw Paxti catch the bug!
I love that puppy, puppy wanted attention 🥰
One subject I am curious about is what is the procedure for a rapid descent. As with the Southwest 1380. As in what do you do to get down fast. Maybe you have covered this but I didn't see it. Love the dogs...
Great learning video, Mentour👮 With you us re learning this stuf, and Patxi And Molly cars in meanwild for thé amusement😃
Hello, Mentour! Russian Aeroflot punish pilots for go-around. 🤷♂️
Yeah, thing is, he said “All *good* airlines have a no-blame policy for go-arounds”. And frankly, Aeroflot doesn’t have the best reputation for safety. Couldn’t pay me enough money to fly on one of their planes, despite their massive improvement in safety in the last two decades.
How
Chill, they're Russians
I flew on an ilyushin from Moscow to HK in 2004. It was ok to be honest. The seats are quite hard.
@@MastrCake It's called "Aeroflop" for a reason.
Patxi was unusually affectionate today-:)
lds251 she wants the car keys
Some years ago in a Brussels-Madrid fly,in the takeoff the crew tried to fly the plane over half a meter of water-ice-snow mix over the runaway (the airport crew just get of their vehicles throughout the windows of their cars). I was on the window and all I can saw was the terminal being closer & further very quick when the nose of the plane try to go up...Of course the crew just jump on the brakes and we stop like 90º to the right in the runaway,I suspect in the middle of nowhere cos all I can saw was a flooded airport. I think it was a little sketchy,nothing bad happened. It was a bad decision try to take off in such conditions. 5 hours latter we take off no problem.
On many runways, the ground for some distance around the runway has been strengthend and then covered with a thin layer of soil and then grass -seeded
Not sure where to post it, but the mid air incident of QF72 was on TV here in Australia. The story was big on the effects to individuals and their injuries but a bit light on what was going on regarding the control systems and mechanics of the aircraft. Can you tell us about that one? After seeing some of your videos I would love to see you look into this one.
Dear Mentor! As a big fan of your channel I REALLY appreciate all your podcasts. I’m just a common “enthusiast” but yet I always check if you have released something recently (don’t worry, I’m not a stalker 😉). BUT there is ONE thing you must improve on (Skillshare?) - and that is your English pronunciation- especially of TH. I cannot here any difference between “TRUST” (ie; rely on someone, Swedish “lita på”) and ”THRUST” (like feeling the force of acceleration on the runway, Swedish “gaspådrag”). In most cases the context gives the explanation, but not always - and anyway as a line training captain i think it’s paramount that your English is, if not “flawless”, at least not a source for misunderstanding. You have to TRUST when you rotate that you have sufficient THRUST to get airborne. I hope I didn’t offend you now, because I regard this to be one of the best, if not THE BEST, channel here on TH-cam! Keep up the good spirit!
The Miami Air plane N732MA , i caterd that plane for the summer season 2018 at ERHD (Rotterdam The Hague Airport) they where flying for Transavia to help for the busy season. Sorry for my English, im dutch.
The landing is always the most planned part of a trip and where most training is focused. What worries me the most is the takeoff. During take off, should something happen, you may have too little altitude to turn around.
It does seem hard that something goes wrong on take off right past the point of no return.
@@sharoncassell9358 I don't think it seems hard for that to happen at all. The engines are taking the most stress on take off. When do you think an engin will fail? During a run up and something breaks!!
I really like your channel,, it is very informative,, you are very well spoken, cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Great video! Scored 80% on the quiz, thank you!
Hey have you ever flown into jfk? It's so busy here it's crazy I think to myself wow these pilots have so much knowledge and skill
I haven’t flown in there so far. It would be great to come by.
my only comment is WHY do people give an informational video a thumbs down
I have never understood that either. But people are all different.
They are probably the ones who didn't do what mentor explained in the video and ran off the runway
Just three days back a Boeing 737-800 of Spicejet, overshoot the main runway of Mumbai (VABB) airport, and till the evening of 4th July 2019, the aircraft could not be removed from the mud. This paralyzed the main runway and resulted in lots of flight cancelations, delays and flight diversions for about three days. It's now monsoon in Mumbai and almost every day it is raining heavily.
An excellent and educational video as always, thanks! Regards from Costa Rica.
17:45 the thrust reversers seem to offer an other advantage here. It looks like they blow off a lot of the water in front of the tires, which makes the brakes more effective again.
Or does that not matter?
On the airport of Congonhas in São Paulo a TAM flight had a reversor problem with wet runway and unfortunately the plane wasn't able to stop and went into a building next to the airport, no survivers and now there's a memorial over there. Very sad.
Am I the only one watching Mentour Pilot to improve my DCS World flying? :D Also of course to become a less-nervous flier...
11:13 She almost had that sky raisin! Maybe next time! LOL!
I know you've said there is no go around once thrust reversers are engaged, but have there been incidents where there were no other options and a successful go around was performed?
