- On the 13th of April, 2010, Cathay Pacific Flight 780 set off from Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, Indonesia en route to the Hong Kong International Airport. The take off conditions were standard and they were expected to make a routine landing in just under 5 hours.
However, a few hours into the flight, it became apparent to the crew members that this was going to be no routine flight.
The two pilots have really tried for keeping the aircraft steady in the air and also averted air crash. They really deserved to be awarded. The senior pilot has shown his expertise in his profession. We thank God for saving air disaster.
My late father a 24000 hour pilot always maintained that "for 364 days 23 hours and 59 minutes, airline are overpaid but in that other minute they earn every dollar they receive." this crew took longer but I'm sure that no one on board will ever accept that the pilots are over paid. Training and experience count for everything in aviation.
Well said 🙌
It's the well trained keeping calm under serious pressure (weather, unknown technical situations, cannot be trained for until they happen. Thats when the trained pilots keep cool, do all the preparations to keep the pax save and then keep cool and work out their combined knowledge.
Thumbs up for those two pilots who did not give up and made 300m j😢ust just enough not to race into the ocean! Cool heads! Wow!
Proud of both pilots. They are well trained and have that oomph in their skill and quick thinking to be able to think outside the box. Reputable airlines like these are worth paying more for.
Fuel contamination was my first thought given that both engines became compromised. Given that the crew was dealing with an unplanned crisis, they did superb. My only criticism was that ground control continued to advise they finish the flight passing up numerous safe destinations that may have allowed them to maintain more control over the plane instead of flying on for several additional hours with a compromised aircraft when other better options were available allowing the situation to deteriorate until they have a full blown emergency to deal with.
you are right, the desire of maintenance to bring it home overode safety. I can sympathise, worst case shipping out two huge high bypass turbofans is a nightmare before you fit them
Bravery initiative by the pilots
Amazing Pilots!! They should be praised forever!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Hats off to the two pilots! Every time I board a plane I remind myself that I am in their very capable hands!
Point proven. Cathay Pacific has some the best pilots in the profession.
Stupid comment
Brilliant skills and nerves. Great pilots. Above and beyond.
Congrats to both pilots. Very calm and manage to land the aircraft safely.
great job, lots of skill and calmness shown!
GOOD LUCK GUYS YOU WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL
gold award boys oh, and a bit of Raaf stress training helped no douubt
Nice video mate!
Flight Crew were professional and totally competent in there adverse sition. Brilliant workaround ! 🤔👍
Great job by the pilots. I can’t believe the landing gear didn’t break off since the landing speed was double their normal landing speed.
Actually the landing speed was quite a bit shy of being double
Calm n cool attitude of pilots and courageously could land the aircraft and brought passengers safe
Fascinating story atrociously told
Excellent job by two well trained pilots. It definitely pays to now your aircraft, as they did.
Shouldn't they have landed at the nearest suitable airport after the initial problems? I know aircraft can continue if some types of problems occur enroute but not a dodgy engine!
I'll never fly that airline....EVER
Perhaps this airport was the one best equipped!
To me it is not how many flight hours a pilot has but how many times he has landed. That is the hardest part of flying. They did an increasable job considering what they had to work with.
The only landing that counts is the next landing.
@@liveinhope , as a retired Flight Attendant, we always said, “Any landing you can walk away from, is a GOOD landing! After 18 yrs of many many landings, we had a few teeth jarring ones. If they were really bad, the pilots wouldn’t open the cockpit door while the passengers were deplaning!! 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂 wonder why???
Another Skilléd British Pilot saves the Day 👍
An incredible brave act. Hatss off to the Captain and the First Officer and all the crew. it is so great>
Bravo!!! Pilpts
But it didn’t crash. Don’t worry, It’s an Airbus.
Plane manufacturer not crucial here. Malfunction due to bad maintenance. Rough, extreme overspeed but not crash landing saving every single life due to gutsy brilliant pilots, both under 40. Fantastic work, fellas. Enough thanks are impossible.
Good thing it wasn't an “ultra safe max” according to boeing! Now changing the names to drop connection but the public has already forgot
GAAAHH! You gave away the ending in the first (very visible) comment! Just joking, I’ve seen this in a long episode with the same actors. They were heroes and I hope the profit centred management who allowed the flight to continue were suitably shamed. At an airport with a drop into the sea off the runway, it would be good to see that RAS (or whatever it’s called) arrestor system installed.
Heroic 😊
You couldn't be more wrong. They didn't crash because they had two badass pilots who did what they do best! Have some appreciation.
Courage by pilots at a time when it was most needed; saving themselves and all on the plane. Hurray to a job well done with skill and ability and focus. Heroes both.
You have Engine problems you land right away ! They waited 2 hrs ! Why ? Maybe they didn’t have a near by airport?
Awesome Job!!!
Well done to both pilots, they kept calm
Amazing pilots...well done !
Why continue fly after losing first Engine😮
Pretty standard as most of these twinjets are designed to be able to fly “safely” on one engine. There are ETOPS FAA rules specifying single engine distance ratings since the 1980’s. The bottom line as usual is PROFIT.
Brilliant efforts
Hero’s they saved all passengers and stoped the plane ✈️
If it had a flux capacitor and a partical accelerator this wouldn't of happened...😂 nah what really happened was bad gas lol, kuddos to the flight crew
Right. Contamination simply due to bad maintenance allowing fuel filters malfunction.
Real heros of aviation history . Great .
Good show..
Could the thrust reverser not have been deployed before touchdown?
May God Bless All Involved 🙏❤️☺️ Amen 🙏❤️☺️
Wow what a situation! I being a past student pilot and Aviation enthusist ,i was just wondering if the pilots could have shut the engine down once they knew of a safe glide distance to the runway , would that have been possible if so? I don't know , just curious. Any experienced Pilot i would really love to know the answer , it would really be appreciated thanks ?
ALL I CAN SAY IS WELL DONE LADS
My thoughts…..”heroes”
Very good. 10/10
Wow, what a nightmare for the pilots - great job to get her down.
Since attempting to land at such a high speed was so dangerous I have to wonder if a dead stick landing was an option or even possible ?
dead stick is nearly 0%to survive
why? @@importantaiden7994
Most certainly I believe that the Air Crew performed procedures to the HIGHEST level of safety and ABILITY, GOD BLESS THEM. Nifty.
They took control of the plane and let their instincts do the rest!!! NICE FLYING!!!
Great work and dexterity bythe pilots
Both pilots performed according to their training and experience.
Congratulations
Geez. These pilots are more than great!
I'm definitely no expert, but is it possible to manually activate an over-running engine's fire suppressant system and, if so, would that slow, or snuff it out?
U done ur best well done congratulations
Are there not breakers which can shut power to the engines if necessary?
If all else fails switch off the ignition and a dead stick landing.
Kudos for these good pilots ❤
Amazing!!!
cool headed heroism. Well done to both of them.
Glad you made it safely home. Just wondering, aren’t the fuses in the cockpit or are they inaccessible?
What "fuses" are you blethering about. There are no "fuses" in the fuel system, at least not fuses in the ordinary sense.
???????????FUSES?????????????????
Mistake or wrong infos during all the video. Next time ask someone in the business to validate your infos and accuracy.
Did the report criticize the decision to continue the flight after engine problems were reported?
Too much dramatization, not accurate description of the different in flight experience.
Yes, I agree... And it was pieced together in a rather redundant, haphazard way including showing images at the wrong time.
W pilots, Hats off to them man.
Yes,maintenance is always an issue everywhere,ģot to dot your i and cross your t .your checklist is always important .doublecheck everything in audit .used to work in telecomunication systems NEC to be specific .
Of all the people in this world who are overpaid, airline pilots are not among them.
Very strange that ground control kept advising them to continue the flight rather than head for the nearest airport. It seems that commercial considerations trumped passenger safety?
Yes this is strange. One must save fuel as it is expensive.
Amazing job by the pilot and first officer. The fault is with the airline and not checking their maintenance properly. Should be the priority
Did you watch the whole video? The fuel they got was contaminated due to the previous airport not following procedures during a construction project. No way the flight crew or their airline to know that would happen.
Over dramatized.
The pilots did a magnificent, professional job. However, this video did not need the scary background music, and depicting the pilots as looking scared and sweating was hyperbolic and really not necessary.
Great Great deed in saving life without getting panic...
Always manually check fuel before getting into the cockpit.
Those pilots are blessed by God. They are the best. Keep flying guys you are the best
God has nothing to do with it!
GOD Grace and Thanks to crews courage who didn't lose hope. GOD bless them abundantly.
Safer on a quadjet such as the A340.
AGreat pilots job well done.
Excellent, skilled, pilots. But they should have been advised to land immediately when they had all the engine warning lights and problems with the first engine. Big mistake for the tower for cost reasons to tell them to push on.
That's what you call flying by the seat of your pants!😮
Rule one of aviation in Asia: 'Do not refuel in Indonesia'
If flight ops require that you refuel there, refer Rule one.
They should cutoff both engines on the final approach then bring down speed, performing a power off landing. But they never had been trained for this.
They are not in a light aircraft buddy. It's not lack of training, You don't kill the engines and loose power to flight controls with 300 passengers on board. It's not a space shuttle design
Lol. What a load of nonsense. You're talking out of your *ss. You need to grow up and learn how to think before you speak.
The pilots did a brilliant job and saved over 300 lives.
Undoubtedly those pilot seats had to be thrown away.
I salute the pilots sir
Excellent pilots
Very fortunate they did not have to land at the OLD Hong Kong airport.
It’s a miracle that an Airbus made it.
Hopefully the two pilots did what they were trained to do what they did. Kudos to their skills however.
Doesn’t say much about the quality of maintenance by Cathay Pacific or their contractors.
You’re right, but this time it turned out to be the Juanda Airport in Surabaya allowing faulty construction on their extension of their aircraft refueling pipeline. The airport refueled the Cath. Pac. A330 with contaminated fuel.
This had nothing to do with the aircraft's maintenance.
These Pilots did a magnificent job in landing this plane. JESUS was certainly a second Co Pilot on this landing. They should not have been able to do what they did.
Yes they did a magnificent job.
Yes Jesus was a Co pilot. Hanuman was the flight engineer. I salute them all
This is the one that was refuelled with contaminated fuel from Salt water because they had opened up a pit near the fuel tanks and allowed salt water into the fuel which made the fuel filters on the fuel pumps cut off full fuel flow and damage the controls of Fuel flow of both engines.
Is it just me or is it always these other airlines having issues
As always, it's better to have gas than to have a gas problem. Cheers!
Great job pilots.
Salt water contamination of the fuel supply. Hmmm. Most airports that fuel large Transport category aircraft use an underground supply system. Seems like the Indonesian Government has been a bit lax on their oversight and maintenance of the fuel storage and supply system.
When at the destination I would have orbited the field, dumping fuel until I could do a glide path landing (I haven't watched this video yet).
Surely,I would of thought the Captain would of landed the plane with
no engines on,(Glide).This would of reduced the speed of the
plane for a safe landing.
Isn't it more normal to call "Pan Pan" as soon as there is a major problem, and return to the take-off airport or another nearby one, especially when the destination is much, much further away.
Why didn't they instinctively turn round and go back when the first ECAM warning showed at half hour in knowing they had 4.5 hours to go.
I wonder if they dump all the fuel or switch of the engines, which will work or not.
It's a LEVER - NOT A LEVVER! GRAVITY not Graveness.
What is it about the south china sea? It's like the Bermuda triangle! This is also the problem with training in pilots, they will not think outside the box even if they are doomed to die
I thought there must have been other ways to slow down the plane, like air brakes (invented as long ago as the aviation started). The airplane always should have the alternative ways to any forseeble trouble. Airbrakes seem to be able to handle many issues like this one.
In this video there is told that they were used. Even with those the plane was too fast.
About the issue to fly without engines at all...Look up for the "transatlantic glider"
A yet should be able to glide 100 miles if he's flying at 39000 feet when the engines fail.
Of coarse there is only ONE chance for landing....
The "air brakes" you mention were referred to as "speed brakes" in this video
This video needs editing by a professional pilot.
know nothing about this stuff,but if the engines were running too fast why would you not just turn the fuel supply off\
Both pilots should receive a knight award from King Charles for their ability to save all life on the flight and entitlement to a pension for life at he very least....
