Don´t think jet blast is a problem for such a big plane at such big distance. Power drops off fast with range. And for wake turbulence to be created the AC needs to be airborn (made by lift induced drag) and by that point the other AC is already on the ground. If it was a light crosswind maybe they felt it a bit after landing when the vortices travel down.
Jet blast is not that impacting between mid size planes and wake turbulence only starts forming while the plane is airborne. At that time the Indigo was on the ground already. Still very dangerous in case the approach had to be aborted they would have been extremely close.

@@agate_jcg I bow to your better knowledge if you know exactly how the 'chain of command' works, but one or other must have priority and I suspect it's ATC. Almost certainly it was an ATC error that created the situation and the pilot wasn't left with many options.

It's amazing to see the flight computers banging in those adjustments so quick. I remember when the Ferrari 355 was released in 1994, it was the first semi-automatic ferrari gearbox that could change more quickly & effectively than a human. Nowadays all high performance cars come with autoboxes, imagine trying to put down 700 horsepower in an Audi RS6 even with Quattro and T/C - the autobox handles it much better than humans. Same with the automation on the autopilots on a modern airliner, it can pump up and down the flappy bits many times more effectively than a human being. Amazing :)
The demanding role of air traffic controllers. • Mumbai airport is one of the busiest airport with high traffic density. • On a single runway RW27 at the airport, there are around 46 arrivals and departures per hour. • Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) are allowed to clear up to two arrivals and two departures within three minutes, subject to acceptable limits of safety. • Also, the separation minima between two aircraft can be reduced if the visibility is good. • In this particular case that happened on Saturday at the Mumbai airport, the visibility was good and there was no air prox situation with respect to the landing IndiGo flight and the taking off Air India flight. This may be a "wow" moment for outlookers but those who perform this safety critical task daily comes under part of their duty for which they are rigorously trained. • The ATC has the discretion to allow arrival and departure within a few minutes on the same runway, especially in high density airports. • ATCs are under significant pressure when there is high density traffic at airports. • The DGCA probe will be looking at whether all norms were followed by the ATC as well as the pilots concerned. Had there been a safety risk for landing, the pilot himself would have initiated a Go-Around. Media trials put extra stress on working controllers, as the nature of job itself comes with risk at every clearance which is done under acceptable limits of safety. We hope with this atleast some more awareness will come in people at large about why ATC is called one of the most stressful job in the world.
If the comments are taken literally, it seems people are unaware that ATC is responsible for keeping separation between aircraft. The pilot also has the option to abort the landing. The fact that there was no accident doesn't make it okay. Aircraft movements are far more structured and regulated than driving a car or crossing the street. Given visibility wasn't an issue, this pilot landing was taking an unnecessary risk.
Where do you get this? Minimum requirements for this situation is 6000 feet and the first aircraft to have lifted off. The airplane was airborne. So that was fine. The 6000 feet is hard to judge from the camera angle. It was likely fine.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183it’s 6000 feet at threshold of runway. You get get a fair idea of separation from the time… = way less than 6000. More importantly, there’s a DA and the approaching aircraft would be able to see clearly that there would be a high likelihood that this separation would not be met, regardless of whether they had clearance, a go-around at DA before threshold was the only safe option.
3 seconds separation at 130 (approximately) knots is no more than 1000 ft. If I’m really conservative I’ll give then 1500 feet separation. Ignorance alone can defend that as as legitimately safe commercial aviation.
Ok so I have a story for you guys... today I was flying student solo at a non towered airport, I just turned on final approach in a 172, someone was on the active, but close to getting off, then, out of nowhere, someone in a piper Seminole took the runway to take off. I think he said he was taking off but im not entirely sure. I announced a go around, held my altitude and 60kts. The Seminole and the 172 on the ground had maybe 20 feet of vertical separation between them and it looked like the Seminole had to take off at a really slow speed to clear the 172. They got yelled at multiple times on the runway by the 172 on the ground, rightfully so, but they never acknowledged it on the radio. Some people just don't deserve their wings
that first one...god damn. the tower control messed up that one. and the 2nd one...man that pilot got mad skills handling that plane with those crosswinds
There was a pretty big thread on r/aviation about that first one, and it gets a bit heated. That incoming plane should have waved off well before that, but both would have needed to make some nonstandard departure maneuvers, like both going to opposite sides to get some separation.
Interesting first clip, fairly dangerous situation but i noticed the landing aircraft did not actually touchdown until the other aircraft had departed and left the runway.
@@David-ud9ju perhaps, but the incident is/was under investigation by India's DGCA (FAA equivalent) and the pilots and controllers were de-rostered pending the investigation's outcome.

Aircraft has “autothrust”, a computer controlled system to maintain airspeed by constantly altering engine speed depending on pitch and wind conditions to maintain a desired air speed. The pilots keep the thrust lever in one position (nearly all the way forward) on approach and the autothrust system does the rest. The countdown, as I’m sure you’re aware is the radio altimeter. However, if the pilots don’t pull back the thrust lever before landing gear touches runway (retard it) the aircraft will assume the pilots want to give full thrust to abort the landing (go-around). So the cue to “retard” just before touchdown is for that reason.
Passengers in the front plane: Wow. Pilot is in a hurry today Passangers in the rear plane: Wow. This guy used his heavy foot on the brakes Both pilots : 😱😨😰
The plane i was in had the close call on landing on occupied runway. A bit scary as the pilot hit full power just as we came over the beginning of the runway. Landed safely about 15 minutes later. 3:00

How do we know tbe plane taking off did not cause the delay? It is a common sight in Mumbai to be counting 4 or 5 planes lines up for landing. Sometimes the ATC waits for all the landings to be completed bue as often there are aircrafts cleared for takeoff in between 2 landings.
@@n666eobut…what about Deciscion Altitude? What was the pilot thinking not going around during this point in final? DA is where pilots must decide whether to continue or execute a missed approach based on visual cues or instrument indications (an aircraft on the runway is such a cue). This occurs before runway threshold. Crossing the threshold with another aircraft still on the runway is not “legal” as you put it. Nothing to do with when the aircraft touches down. It’s essential procedure. It’s a definite no for landing way before they cross the threshold. Also consider separation. For cat 3 aircraft it’s 6000 ft. This separation is way shorter. No room to do anything safe if need to execute a TO abort or missed approach go-around. Yes, radio comms but where’s the redundancy in that?
@@kevinfairclough4619 DA is not for aircraft on the runway unless it's not predicted. Pretty sure the aircraft on final knew about the plane taking off from ATC. You're right about the 6000ft separation, but it's not CAT 3.
I love this channel. I don't mean to be overly critical. In my opinion though, the text captions really break up the continuity and the suspense of the videos. It's like if someone always told you what was about to happen in a movie. It's more fun to realize it in real time.
I suspect the foreshortening of the telephoto lens makes the separation of the aircraft seem much closer than it was. The landing plane touches down just as the other one is lifting off. The touch down happens about 10 seconds after crossing the runway threshold, and the takeoff probably happens about 6500-7000 feet down the runway from the same point. My guess is the minimum separation between them was around 4000-4500 feet. If this were the US, FAA rules would require that the landing aircraft should not cross the runway threshold before the departing aircraft has lifted off and (where distance can be read by markers) the distance between them should be at least 6000 feet. So basically the landing happened about 10 seconds early compared to what the FAA allows and ate up about 1/3 the minimum required time and distance between the aircraft. That's bad but, well, the FAA rules are pretty scary, too. I think European rules have a wider margin of safety, but I'm not sure.
how, just how does it not occur to you that you need to do a go around, i mean, you should know know unsafe that was, and the wake turbulence of a bigger plane should also scare you, i saw you struggling to put the plane down before you touched down.
The departing aircraft does not generate wake turbulence until it rotates, so there is no way an airplane landing prior to the rotation point will encounter it. If the airplane behind goes around it will be above the wake turbulence of the departing aircraft unless it stops its climb and flies through the departing aircraft's flight path.
0:23min you can clearly see in the frames that the first airplane was airborne when the second landed - so technically the runway was not occupied atm. 🤣
If the other aircraft is departing and has crossed the runway departure threshold, separation is guaranteed and another aircraft may land. Again, however, exceptions apply: 1) 3,000 Feet of Separation: Category I aircraft landing behind Category I or II. 2) 4,500 Feet of Separation: Category II aircraft landing behind Category I or II 3) 6,000 Feet of Separation: When either is a category III aircraft.
AFAIK, a probe was ordered for the first clip. Happened in Mumbai. But I cannot stop appreciating the fact that the timing of perfect - the AI aircraft took off the moment the Indigo aircraft landed
That first clip was insane. People who don’t watch or aren’t into aviation as much wouldn’t realise but that could have been catastrophic definitely wouldn’t have happend anywhere else in the world!
The title of this video is *technically* inaccurate. The Air India was off the tarmac before Indigo touched down. I'm fully versed in runway incursion and its consequences, but the plane departing *was* off the ground before the plane arriving put its wheels down. So, for about 1 or 2 seconds, the runway was technically not occupied. I know, I know.... the runway belongs to the departing plane until he has overflown the opposing threshold.
Assuming the first situation was at a US airport, what created the loss of separation was the fact the departing aircraft was not at least 6000 feet down the runway and airborne before the arriving aircraft crossed the landing threshold. It was not unsafe other than that, because the first aircraft had already passed the point of no return, where trying to abort would have had catastrophic consequences.
@@inncogneato6341 while that would clearly be a loss of separation at a US airport, and that does not necessarily mean it was an unsafe operation, there may be no rule making that operation illegal in India or the consequences could even be worse. ATC regulations vary from country to country. We have FAA rules in the USA, and then there is ICAO which is basically the guidance for global travel, but each country also has it's own internal guidance.
DGCA(Directorate General of Civil Aviation) which is the Aviation board of India recently announced that they are going to launch an investigation for this Till the time, the ATC of that time got suspended

comes under part of their duty for which they are rigorously trained. • The ATC has the discretion to allow arrival and departure within a few minutes on the same runway, especially in high density airports.
• ATCs are under significant pressure when there is high density traffic at airports.
• The DGCA probe will be looking at whether all norms were followed by the ATC as well as the pilots concerned. Had there been a safety risk for landing, the pilot himself would have initiated a Go-Around. Media trials put extra stress on working controllers, as the nature of job itself comes with risk at every clearance which is done under acceptable limits of safety.
We hope with this atleast some more awareness will come in people at large about why ATC is called one of the most stressful job in the world.

But only two likes so far, so there must not be that many Oshkosh alumns here.
Boeing 747: confidently landing on the runway.
Also Boeing 747: where's the runway?
First clip: I'm damn sure whoever from the ATC went ahead with that landing must have thought the airport as a real life extension of Airport Madness.
He's been suspended.
He's probably a Microsoft flight simulator ATC on the weekends
i play ATC4, and that action would trigger risk index warning and substract your final score 😅
Watching from Kenya.🇰🇪🇰🇪
Tuk tuk traffic on Runway

Thank you for such an wonderful channel and content. Cheers from Portugal.
Japan Air passengers on the left side watching that landing, thinking this takeoff will be interesting!
😂😂😂
Now - that's the kind of runway utilization we can expect to see more of in the future as airports get busier! ;-)
Pilot was former Tuktuk (Rickshaw) Driver!
u mean atc
How do we know tbe plane taking off did not cause the delay? It is a common sight in Mumbai to be counting 4 or 5 planes lines up for landing. Sometimes the ATC waits for all the landings to be completed bue as often there are aircrafts cleared for takeoff in between 2 landings.
First clip=happened on 8 June 2024 and supposedly the Indian authorities have initiated an enquiry
Was one not cleared for takeoff or landing because ATC is supposed to stop one another to avoid a collision
Landing on an occupied runway is a big no no. Both atc and pilots are to blame for that poor decision on the first clip.
The runway wasn't occupied on touch down. It's legal.
@@n666eobut…what about Deciscion Altitude? What was the pilot thinking not going around during this point in final? DA is where pilots must decide whether to continue or execute a missed approach based on visual cues or instrument indications (an aircraft on the runway is such a cue). This occurs before runway threshold. Crossing the threshold with another aircraft still on the runway is not “legal” as you put it. Nothing to do with when the aircraft touches down. It’s essential procedure. It’s a definite no for landing way before they cross the threshold. Also consider separation. For cat 3 aircraft it’s 6000 ft. This separation is way shorter. No room to do anything safe if need to execute a TO abort or missed approach go-around. Yes, radio comms but where’s the redundancy in that?
@@kevinfairclough4619 DA is not for aircraft on the runway unless it's not predicted. Pretty sure the aircraft on final knew about the plane taking off from ATC.
You're right about the 6000ft separation, but it's not CAT 3.
@@n666eo , imagine if landing acft had to go around for some reason... imo Indigo capt was irresponsible.
@@just_another_brick_in_the_wall We have seen far worst go around in the USA, 3 or 4 times in 2 or 3 years...
I love these videos, and well notated so you know exactly what to look for. Thank You!
Bro thought this was infinite flight casual servers
I love this channel. I don't mean to be overly critical. In my opinion though, the text captions really break up the continuity and the suspense of the videos. It's like if someone always told you what was about to happen in a movie. It's more fun to realize it in real time.
Well, a lot of us amateur viewers like planes but we don't know what's going on!
Scary stuff right there!
I suspect the foreshortening of the telephoto lens makes the separation of the aircraft seem much closer than it was. The landing plane touches down just as the other one is lifting off. The touch down happens about 10 seconds after crossing the runway threshold, and the takeoff probably happens about 6500-7000 feet down the runway from the same point. My guess is the minimum separation between them was around 4000-4500 feet. If this were the US, FAA rules would require that the landing aircraft should not cross the runway threshold before the departing aircraft has lifted off and (where distance can be read by markers) the distance between them should be at least 6000 feet. So basically the landing happened about 10 seconds early compared to what the FAA allows and ate up about 1/3 the minimum required time and distance between the aircraft. That's bad but, well, the FAA rules are pretty scary, too. I think European rules have a wider margin of safety, but I'm not sure.
India is crazy they’re bumper to bumper on the roads and on the runways! 😂😂
your energy is the perfect pick-me-up on any day! ☕
Normal air traffic in India😂
Is it not dangerous with the disturbed air from the jet taking off for the landing aircraft?
"How many times did you watch the 1st clip?"
"Yes!"
how, just how does it not occur to you that you need to do a go around, i mean, you should know know unsafe that was, and the wake turbulence of a bigger plane should also scare you, i saw you struggling to put the plane down before you touched down.
The departing aircraft does not generate wake turbulence until it rotates, so there is no way an airplane landing prior to the rotation point will encounter it. If the airplane behind goes around it will be above the wake turbulence of the departing aircraft unless it stops its climb and flies through the departing aircraft's flight path.
@@gort8203 alright
Now THAT's efficient use of a runway! Awesome piloting!
Awesome amount of stupidity from already de-rostered ATC officer who give Indigo clearance to land.
There’s no efficiency there,that’s damn right dangerous. Safety margins in Aviation are there for a reason !
was that 747 freighter floating in ground effect? too fast?
0:23min you can clearly see in the frames that the first airplane was airborne when the second landed - so technically the runway was not occupied atm. 🤣
Fair enough
I imagined the horns to be the Indigo A320 😂
That Neo aint going around for shit
Tbh I think a go around would not have been the best option here either… even in the air the separation would have been extremely small
@@l.merbecks8144 at the end it was too late, but long before the pilots had ample opportunity to execute a go around
@@l.merbecks8144exactly steep turn and waste of fuel
The first video - Very effective. They probably use adaptive cruise control "close in modus"
India 🇮🇳 is not for beginners 😢😂
2:37 how bad do you have to be flying for the autopilot to start calling you names?
If the other aircraft is departing and has crossed the runway departure threshold, separation is guaranteed and another aircraft may land.
Again, however, exceptions apply:
1) 3,000 Feet of Separation: Category I aircraft landing behind Category I or II.
2) 4,500 Feet of Separation: Category II aircraft landing behind Category I or II
3) 6,000 Feet of Separation: When either is a category III aircraft.
Best video yet!
AFAIK, a probe was ordered for the first clip. Happened in Mumbai. But I cannot stop appreciating the fact that the timing of perfect - the AI aircraft took off the moment the Indigo aircraft landed
That first clip was insane. People who don’t watch or aren’t into aviation as much wouldn’t realise but that could have been catastrophic definitely wouldn’t have happend anywhere else in the world!
Excess of landing speed in 2 GA situations?
The title of this video is *technically* inaccurate. The Air India was off the tarmac before Indigo touched down. I'm fully versed in runway incursion and its consequences, but the plane departing *was* off the ground before the plane arriving put its wheels down. So, for about 1 or 2 seconds, the runway was technically not occupied.
I know, I know.... the runway belongs to the departing plane until he has overflown the opposing threshold.
Second one is actually great landing skills to keep plane under control. You can hear wind in the recording too
Assuming the first situation was at a US airport, what created the loss of separation was the fact the departing aircraft was not at least 6000 feet down the runway and airborne before the arriving aircraft crossed the landing threshold. It was not unsafe other than that, because the first aircraft had already passed the point of no return, where trying to abort would have had catastrophic consequences.
Mumbai, India.
@@inncogneato6341 while that would clearly be a loss of separation at a US airport, and that does not necessarily mean it was an unsafe operation, there may be no rule making that operation illegal in India or the consequences could even be worse. ATC regulations vary from country to country. We have FAA rules in the USA, and then there is ICAO which is basically the guidance for global travel, but each country also has it's own internal guidance.
Thank you very much for sharing! Great video!
someone got a raise for this
i wonder who got fired that day with that close call? i'm assuming it was the ATC fault?
DGCA(Directorate General of Civil Aviation) which is the Aviation board of India recently announced that they are going to launch an investigation for this
Till the time, the ATC of that time got suspended
Mumbai really needs that second airport.
I think the first clip is some clever editing of one landing and one take-off to appear both at the same time.
So what would have happened if the plane infront rejected take off ??
There would have been a very high change of a collision.
2:35 Oh boy, I sure do love an internal cockpit view. It sure is nice being able to watch aviation clips after getting bullied at school all day. I sure do hope this video doesn't remind me of that in some way
One is slowing the other is accelerating. How’s that a problem?
What if the front plane had to abort the takeoff? You can't just assume that once it starts speeding up, it WOULD take off no matter what.
So many things can go wrong , that's why "minimum separation" exists.
