Thank you Magnar (first name edited) for this thorough review on flight into icing conditions. Very interesting. I agree it may have been longer. I’m looking forward to watch more video from you. Best regards, Claude (Cessna 172 IR pilot)
Linked here because of today's ATR-72 crash in southern Brazil. Very informative video. Thanks. Likely due to severe ice conditions, as reported between FL110 and FL210 by another aircraft. The 2Z2283 / PTB2283 was cruising at FL170, according to history on flight radar.
Magnar, I always learn a lot from your videos. The depth and breadth of knowledge you have, and share, is a rare strength. How do you do it? I love the technical aspects of flight, and always have. One of my very favorite and happiest college classes was fluid mechanics and thermodynamics at Brigham Young University. My professor was a retired USAF test pilot who had flown P-51s in combat. While leading his squadron, he dove down to investigate a train. The sides on a boxcar dropped down, exposing anti-aircraft guns. His Mustang got hit and he lost most of his fuel. Applying his aerodynamics knowledge, he had two other pilots fly wingtip-to-wingtip with him and he made it back to base. Effectively, the aspect ratio of the wing became greater and improved the lift-to-drag ratio. I’m an engineer, an electrical engineer. And while a lot of people, including engineers in other disciplines, regard electricity and electronics as unfathomable, and regard electrical engineers as wizards, I think pilots like you are the real wizards. While I love the physics and engineering of flight, I could never do what you and other good pilots do: keep track of such a multitude of flight behaviors and aerodynamic principles. You have my deep respect and appreciation. Thank you for this highly informative video!
And, I meant to mention the voluminous regulations and procedures. For navigating and managing all those and, sometimes with only seconds to sort out which ones are relevant and applicable, you and other pilots have my deep respect. Thank you for making air travel so amazingly safe. Thanks again for the video.
I agree, I was working ops at ord for Simmons when the crash happened. Remember it like it was yesterday. These are not good aircraft in icing conditions. And hearing those engines at max power is exactly the opposite of what the emergency procedures say to do for loss of control due to icing. Not that I'm judging, I was not in the cockpit.
The plane that crashed in Brazil had a history of issues. It suffered a really bad tail strike that had grounded it for repair and had other ac and electrical issues. Though the icing may likely be the cause....it is still too early to speculate!
Good concise explanation of this accident. One of the factors in this accident was a lax atmosphere in the cockpit in recognized icing conditions. A good subject for a future video would be to address complacency amongst crews in automated cockpit environments. Thanks
Good idea. Still, Magnar did mention the importance of flying the aircraft manually if icing gets closer to critical. Also increase speed to or above icing speed bug, and descend for speed and exiting the adverse meteorological conditions, not awaiting ATC clearance. I would guess (!) MCT power selected, maybe also throttles forward of auto, manual use of condition levers to increase prop speed if needed - and vigilant monitoring! Hands-on flying should give PF good mechanical feedback, and maybe the ability to react to this dangerous ctl-surface deflection…? Yes, *guessing* because I’m *not* a pilot… Well made, sourced and explained, capt. Magnar…! 👍
Thank you for this video. It’s good to know that changes have been made based on our new understanding of ice formation. But disheartening that pilots still fail to respond appropriately to keep their aircraft flying. It’s up to us as pilots to do whatever it takes to save our own lives, as well as the lives of our passengers. If that means busting an altitude clearance, so be it!
I was living in Chicago on that Halloween in 1994. The weather was terrible, very windy with mixed precipitation. I've been on a good amount of 72's over the years and have always thought the wings looked a little narrow/out of proportion for the size of the aircraft.
@@gottadomor7438 An American Eagle pilot who had been trying to raise the issues that ultimately got discovered about the ATR became what is popularly known now as a whistle blower , the company tried to discredit him they Demoted and I believe ultimately sacked him- a tragic story I don’t know if he commercially flew after that?he wrote a book called “unheeded warning -the inside story of American Eagle 4184”his name is captain Stephen a Frederick I’ve heard him speak he is very articulate
@@gottadomor7438I actually slipped and hit the deck crossing Clark Street at North Ave later that night so two of the three best Bears players of all time did better than me.
I have more than 3000 hours on this aircraft over Europe, Asia and Africa. The normal cruise levels are unfortunately at the altitudes of the worst icing. The anti-icing system works very well and I had never any problem in moderate icing. An American Eagle pilot however warned for the US weather with more frequent severe icing and the need to react without delay, as experience proves. Overall a great and safe aircraft.
Linjeflyg Flight 618 had a similar crash where the extension of flaps in icing conditions caused the airflow over the wing to separate. They dived straight down into a parking lot near Bromma Airport.
Excellent video with very complete, detailed information well explained for non-pilots to understand. It sheds light on the recent accident in Brazil. Airspeed data at the time of the first sudden altitude loss is not public at this time, so we can't use this information to identify a probable cause. I hope that you'll make a new video when information starts being released, maybe in 30 days...
Certainly icing was a factor in the accident with an ATR 72-500 that happened in Brazil. It remains to be seen if the recall procedures issued by ATR - and approved as a solution by the certification authorities of several countries - are enough to prevent incidents and accidents due to icing. On the day of the accident (and I live some 18 miles from the accident site ) there were several reports of severe icing from 8000ft all the way to 21000ft. Some of the pilots flying that day said that they've never seen such heavy icing before. An A320 pilot reported to Sao Paulo Approach the heavy icing and that his "side window completely covered with rime ice". The accident happened inside Sao Paulo's TMA. The investigators will have to verify if 1) The autopilot was kept engaged for too long, even after the icing was detected; 2) If the pilots used Max Continuous Power and initiated the descent immediately. However I suspect (I just suspect, I have no confirmation data) that the recall procedures may not be enough given such a huge range of altitudes with heavy icing.
In the 2013 serious incident with ATR-72 of TRIP Linhas Aéreas in Northeast of Brazil - too with 64 peoples onboard; in a night flight who face ice conditions, the pilots not turn off autopilot, they turn on anti-ice devices, but don't turn on de-icing boots for wings and engines nacelles, PIC fight against stick pusher, PM feathered the propellers - aircraft manual recommend set in 100%. Plane fall 5000 feet's, but control was regained and after land safety in the destination. (Relatório Final IG-136/CENIPA/2013).
It lasted only 34 years to implement the appropriate new Rules!☹ Thank you very much for the Debrief of this infamous Crash, usually called the Roselawn Desaster.
Hey Magnar, Microsoft Flight Simulator just did a big update to the ATR. I enjoy your how to videos with that plane on MFS. Can you check you the updates and give us your thoughts on it?
At about 28:27 in this video: As a Chief Petty Officer I worked for in the US Coast Guard used to say... *_"There is NEVER enough time to do it right THE FIRST TIME, but there is ALWAYS enough time to do it right THE SECOND TIME."_*
At 37:38 in this video: Does anyone know what the story was behind this Lockheed C-130 being iced up? {The same image is also shown earlier in this video.} As best as I can remember, Lockheed C-130s have some form of radome anti-icing and/or de-icing. I was wondering if the icing system on this particular aircraft failed?
Hi, I just looked this amazing video. I would like to add to your list of other passenger turboprop crash the SOL flight 5428 SAAB 340A Accident in Argentina due to severe icing conditions. It also experienced a reversal aileron uncommanded roll.
I was at Indianapolis airport sending my wife off on an American Trans Air (ATA) flight to Miami that afternoon and evening. I probably saw some of the doomed and poor people since they were boarding about the same time. Probably walked right by some of them. Just glad my wife got on a different plane!! I found out about that crash the next day.
I also was airborne at the time of the Roselawn accident. Comfortably sitting up front in a Boeing 757 of NWA. we traversed not far from that area while inbound for DTW.
I think the order was the other way around. Levity aside, this was a terrible accident. The pilots, crew, and passengers must have endured awful terror. Very sad.
Doomed flight, Vinhedo, Brazil, August 9 2024, 30 years later, more 62 lives are lost.😢Same model ATR-72 and again probably ice build up on the wings led to loss control of the aircraft . Same history, different timing. Sad to see that no correction actions were taken.
ATR’s are notoriously not good in icing conditions, although that’s very well known & pilots are well trained on how to avoid stalling so that’s most likely a contributing factor but not all behind this
No. Its an abreviation of Federal Aviation Administration which is a federal agency and is based in the United Staes of America which is equivalent to the Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom where i'm currently based.
Any aircraft crewed by pilots not sufficiently aware of recommended stall avoidance procedures is a potential flying coffin. The Q400 has a higher aspect ratio than the ATR 72.
In the case of Flight 4184, the NTSB put the blame of the manufactuerer and the aviation authorities (DCAC and FAA), and obsolete certification requirements. But after ATR revised the de-icing boots and the procedures, all ice-related incidents and accidents have happened because the pilots let the aircraft to fly too slow.

Why hasn't this airplane model been banned from flying worldwide yet? The lives of the people who board this type of airplane depend on luck (if there's ice, it's a certain death)
However ATR and others kind of type of airplane are the ones that face more icing conditions in tropical countries because their turboprop FL normal operations. 30 degrees Celsius at sea level is 0 degrees Celsius at FL15
The ATR series has not been banned because it is not necessary. If the pilots stick to the authorised check list flights into icing conditions are uneventful.
At 10:15 he is Wholly INCORRECT, , the way aircraft are designe only Allows ONÉ aileron to be move up whist t'other movéd down. This is what be provide roll. the aileron CANNOT both be move upp or down att Samé timés 😟😟😰😩😩😰😟
I can't help but thinking that with the long history of icing issues with the ATR and similar aircraft for over 30 years that aspects of this design is flawed. In todays anti US manufactured products there would have been much more backlash. Had this machine been a product of the Seattle Washington area the US media would have already called for a grounding and perhaps an outright ban of this machine.
In every recorded accident (except for Flight 4184) where ATR crews flew into icing conditions they let the airspeed decay to the point where they stalled the plane. Speed is life. Nose down. Auto pilot off. MCT.
The anti-freezing wing boots was to thin After the accident they were increased segnifantly Still just bcs of this accident no northern country use them LoL
No true, Inter-canadien continued to use the ATR until their bankruptcy (caused by the collapse of Canadian Airlines), and Canadian North, Air North and Calm Air still use the ATR. In Europe DAT still use them too
@@Rookie_One And NORRA, a subsidiary of Finnair, Logan Air in Scotland and Bra in Sweden, too. There´re probably more Dash-Operators in the Northern Countries than ATR-Operators but ATR are still commonly in use there. Only in the US the ATR were practically outfleeted alltogether after this Crash.
@@NicolaW72 Outside of the biggest operators, most smaller operators here in canada use the ATR. That said, Bombardier at the time killed the dash8-300 and only produced the -400, while most smaller operators don't need the -400 and would had bought a newer -300, which mean that most of them switched to the ATR42 if they were not using it already

Correction: At 10:15, I say that the left aleron moves up when the control wheel is moved to the right. Of course, it moves down, as the image shows.

Very well explored and explained - thank you Magnar !!!
In Brazil, an aircraft with 61 passengers and crew crashed today, 09/08/2024, I believe it was due to the same problem described here.
Yes, I'm also here just right after hearing the news. Sounds very similar.
I agree, I was working ops at ord for Simmons when the crash happened. Remember it like it was yesterday. These are not good aircraft in icing conditions. And hearing those engines at max power is exactly the opposite of what the emergency procedures say to do for loss of control due to icing. Not that I'm judging, I was not in the cockpit.
My first taught was this crash when I saw the Brazilian accident.
Severe icing was announced
Pilots should call mayday and descend
This did not happen
The plane that crashed in Brazil had a history of issues. It suffered a really bad tail strike that had grounded it for repair and had other ac and electrical issues. Though the icing may likely be the cause....it is still too early to speculate!

Yeah, if you read the NTSB report, the crew was not focused on the situation and did not comprehend its seriousness.

Agreed. My thoughts exactly after having just discovered it. Most informative and zero sensationalism.
Thank you Captain, this was a highly educational video.
Thanks Magnar. I thought that they changed the inflatable ribs from horizontal to vertical when they redesigned the boots for this icing solution.

Very informative content, though I must say, you do drag it on a bit, almost fell asleep sitting through this one ... 🤣
time for an update or addendum
to that video for obvious reasons. the atr 72 may still not be safe enough in extreme icing.
Which airplane certified before 2015 is safe in severe icing?
true - i guess none is. especially if the pilots ignore the warning signs.
UT 120, Tumen, 2012...
He seems to be spot on! Sadly happened again
Didn’t change it enough in August 2024. Brazil.
ATR 72 's are flying coffins. The whole configuration of narrow wings, poor de-icing and history of crashes does not inspire confidence.
Any aircraft crewed by pilots not sufficiently aware of recommended stall avoidance procedures is a potential flying coffin.
The Q400 has a higher aspect ratio than the ATR 72.
I traveled weekly for 30 plus years and refused to fly on the ATR aircraft. A refreshing 4 hour auto drive was well worth the inconveniece.
These aircraft should be grounded. I would not fly in one. The French blame these accidents on the pilot. It’s NOT the pilot it’s the aircraft
In the case of Flight 4184, the NTSB put the blame of the manufactuerer and the aviation authorities (DCAC and FAA), and obsolete certification requirements. But after ATR revised the de-icing boots and the procedures, all ice-related incidents and accidents have happened because the pilots let the aircraft to fly too slow.
The crash site is 20 minutes from my house. I've visited it. Very sobering.
