- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- Cathay Pacific Flight 780 is in its descent, flying on just one functioning engine when an 'Engine 1 Stall' message appears on the ECAM. Things have gone from bad to worse as they've lost their last functioning engine, which they relied on to reach Hong Kong.
Their situation became an emergency, and the cockpit workload increased significantly. The crew declared a MAYDAY, advising Hong Kong Approach of the double engine stall situation.
The clock is ticking, and the fate of the passengers and crew lies in the hands of the two pilots. What caused these engine problems, and would the pilots be able to handle them well and safely reach their destination?
This is the story of Cathay Pacific Flight 780

Hey everyone, I had to re-upload the video due to a small error. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your understanding! Go watch it now!
You mean, watch it again. 😊
@@fawziekefli2273 Yea just watched the first one haha.
I got really confused during the first video when after they landed the narration stated the pilot called a pan pan to baltimore. Nice to see it fixed so quick!
Aviationaccidents Great video. It would be good to know what safety recommendations came out from the Investigation Report and if the recommendations were accepted and implemented. E.g. was there a recommendation addressed to Rolls Royce to redesign the flitering system to make it more robust and effective against saltwater contaminants? I assume a study was made to ascertain which flights uploaded the same contaminated fuel and why those flights didn't end up in the same predicament.
Hope that flight crew got an award for managing a dangerous situation so well. The passengers who failed to follow evacuation instructions, bringing their luggage, should get “I’m an idiot” t-shirts and caps.
Highly disagree
@@bobcoleman9045 why?
@@Zircuitzhe's one of the luggage people
@@bobcoleman9045 I hope you can cope when you find the centre of the Universe and it's not you.
To be fair, those passengers were probably highly stressed, and while trying to grab your things is objectively stupid in this situation it can be a panic reaction.
These documentaries are absolutely insane - this is tv-level
Thanks Jonas! Really appreciate it!
Yes very good, although I could nit pick as an aviation geek and say that’s not a A330 cabin in the video, it’s a narrow body cabin.
You're the best aviation tragedy narrator on TH-cam. Many will come to witness that we like this platform for a reason. The reason is what i mentioned first.
Thanks mate!
He has the perfect voice for narrations
Yes! This ☝🏼
Yes i agree you got unique immersive tone, its almost like you are made for this.
You should check out mentor pilot as well, he also has some amazing videos and great understanding of aircraft as he is a pilot himself.
Less than 12 months ago, this channel was started and already has 62k+ subs!!! Your story telling is engaging, visuals and editing awesome, not to mention the amazing narration. Congrats to those who run this channel ❤
Thank you!
Life’s simple, ACI uploads and I watch it 3-5 times
Being a simple man is the best indeed
Life is easy right?
The efforts put in the visuals, script writing and voiceover is S-tier. Every video he puts up is pure gold. Thank you very much. Thank you for the pilots too. They are true heroes. SALUTE!!!
One of, if not THE, best narrations on TH-cam. Great Work 🫡👏🏻🫡
Wow, thank you!
Pure truth
I got butterfies in my stomach when the ECAM displayed multiple errors and the malfunctioning of ENG-1. What a jaw-dropping narration that is! A huge applause to the flight-crew. I hope you will work on a video covering the disaster of 737 Max 8 ( Lion Air Flight 610 & ET302). Good Job!!
i became obsessed with these aviation videos. thank you for uploading your hard work- a overstimulated college student that de-stresses watching these master pieces!!!!!
this channel is great along with Mentour Pilot, Green Dot Aviation and 74 Gear
@@iansrven3023Don't leave out Disaster Breakdown.
I've mentioned this on your very first video. You blew mentour and green dot out of the water. The commentary, the graphics, the story telling the best there is 10/10
Wow, thanks!
A riveting portrayal of a real-life aviation emergency. Hats off to the entire crew for their exceptional teamwork and resilience in ensuring the safety of all passengers on board.
Absolutely loving the content so far folks, really nailing all the right stuff, leading the way across the board 👏👏👏
Thanks so much
I am normally impatient waiting for this videos
always watch your videos! keep it up love the investigation.
Yet again, an amazing video I can’t wait to see the next one!☝️
It's your narration for me. Simply the best❤.
Another great video!
Thanks again!
Lovely video! Thank you for the great effort.
Our pleasure!
Keep the videos coming!!
Will do!
Just Subscribed. That 100k mark is coming soon. Super work, well done to you.
Welcome aboard!
Great video, animation and narration. Subbed!
Welcome aboard! 💛
I really like your videos alot. So much so that I was just telling my wife how I appreciate the storytelling, the graphics, the narrators voice and most of all, the level of detail you put into these videos. And then I see 8:38 and notice that that computer had windows 10 installed when it should have been Vista or windows 7😂. Anyways I'm not complaining, just wanted to be a nerd and point that out. Already looking forward to the next video, keep up the good quality!
Great video again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for blessing us with another banger
You're welcome!
I subbed after watching this video, keep up the great work!😁
Thanks for the sub!
Another excellent and highly professional video. Air Crash Investigation is now by far the best flight channel on TH-cam.
You’ve got one of the best pilots in the world on board from Australia.
From Australia to... where?
@@knrdvmmlbkkn
Sydney
Please keep making videos. Very informative and interesting.
Thanks! Will do!
Did any other planes get the same fuel?
The exact same question l was going to ask. I assume other flights must have been affected by the same contaminated fuel but not to the same extent. Perhaps because of a different filter design? Hopefully some research was undertaken to see what aircraft uploaded the same contaminated fuel and why they didn't end up in the same predicament.
They landed the plane just fine with both engines out. You can't get better flying than that.
"there was a small problem with the engines" lol, understatement of the year.
Great coverage bro
Thanks a ton!
BEST EVER BRO YOU DESERVE TO HAVE 40M SUBS
very good explanation and videography
the editing is also top notch
definitely great level
loved it !
Thanks!
Absolutely stunning quality. This is better than some of the documentaries in netflix, thankyou loving it.
Our pleasure!
Love your videos keep it up ❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
I don’t know how this incident got by me, I had no idea a NEO has suffered a serious incident anywhere in the world!
11:26 I didn't know that the A330 cabin seats 3+3 abreast either...
In the real incident it was A330-300
You’re awesome. Love this narrator. He is the best
I am gonna watch every video on this channel before my next flight.
I watched this case from ACI National Geographic and i love that episode as much as this new video. Those 2 pilots did it well that day. Btw, Well done👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
A nicely narrated and presented video. Happy ending
Great job
should be make available for every airline passenger to watch.good content
I gotta say again , very well narrated ,...it's like i wait your videos like a TV series , u know... the episode barely ended and u already think to next week and next episode...
Thanks!!!
You might not know but you are the best narrator on TH-cam!
@Aviationaccidents Great video. It would be good to know what safety recommendations came out from the Investigation Report and if the recommendations were accepted and implemented.

I assume a study was made to ascertain which flights uploaded the same contaminated fuel and why those flights didn't end up in the same predicament.
It isn't really Rolls Royce's problem, but that of the works contractors being careless in letting SALT water into the airport refuelling system, with possibly the need for some kind of detector in the pump vehicle to make some subtle indication of the salt, like maybe large flashing beacons visible to all sides and loud klaxon horns alternating with a voice shouting "DANGER, FUEL CONTAMINATED", in English and the local language. You know, the kind of thing that will allow the operator to correct the problem without anyone else realising!
Good work
Thank you so much 😀
I don’t miss being an airline pilot.
Would you please elaborate on this? I’ve recently done some research and have come to conclusions I don’t want to believe, because I like to travel. But risk/reward I’m not so confident since those reports that came out about Bowing
@@dasbootsassa Airline travel is statistically safe. However, there are still statistics… if you know what I mean. The airline industry has vastly changed since my career started and ended. Airline personnel are still highly trained and aircraft are still highly maintained. But the industry would wide is in a very dynamic transition. There are many factors at play. One example is that during the COVID panic, airlines offered their senior more experienced pilots early retirement packages. This was due to the expensiveness of them being at the top of the pays scale. Flight school has continued to greatly increase in price… to the tune of well into the six figures. It’s been that way for a while which has deterred many people from pursuing it over the years. There is an unimaginable passing of the torch.. so to speak in every aspect of the entire operation. New/green( inexperienced) people in all of the positions that require experience. ATC, maintenance, dispatch, pilots etc. everyone has to start somewhere… but in years past. There was more of a mentoring philosophy. The experienced personnel taught the new, less experienced personnel. Example: when I was a brand new pilot, I would fly with pilots with thousands sometimes tens of thousands of hours. Now you have a lot of inexperienced people working with inexperienced people. It used to be that you gained experience by learning from the folks that had it. To go to the major airlines you had to fly for smaller airlines as a First Officer (co-pilot), then upgrade to Captain, gain thousands of hours of experience then you could apply to the major airlines for a co-pilot position. Now they have GREATLY lowered the bar. You can be fresh out of flight school, gain the ATP minimum hours (1500) get hired as a copilot with a 121 operator gain another 300-400 hours and get hired by the majors….totally bypassing the requirement to upgrade to captain and gain PIC experience.. this was un heard of in the old days. So the bottom line? You have a lot of inexperienced people doing a job that requires a lot of experience. Me personally… I’ll never fly again. I’m not saying I was the greatest, most experienced. I retired with about 15,000 hours. I was average at best. But in defense of the industry. They do train with high standards and proficiency. I think overall it’s still the safest way to travel. I was always a nervous flyer if I wasn’t flying.😅 lol BTW, I had quite a few emergencies during that time…that’s where the experience of being mentored and working my way up the ladder paid off… otherwise I could have easily made world, headline news. Not the way I would want to become famous.
Awesome!
Thanks!
Today’s editing was 🔥
Hi, nice videos. Could you do one on the Sosoliso airline flight 1145.
I also think you're the best narrator of these types of videos
i don't think he's that great. he emphasizes every sentence like it was the most important statement of the video.
this channel is nice
Thanks!
The best narrator, best voice for this documentary’s
Thanks
amazing
Cathay always had very good pilots
Ohhhhhhh this channel is about to blow UP i feel it. Like 60k subs??? Not for long
Glad that disaster turned out fine and no one was hurt!
I want to sleep oh well time to binge this one
Telltale of insane crewwork, wow 😎
i wonder what the passengers would say if they saw this video many years later.
Wow!
Please do DHL 611 and BTC2937 collision
Brilliant clear narrative and the video was fine until you showed the interior of a narrow body aircraft instead of an A330 wide body 😮
I wonder if this was the 1 instance where undersized/powered engine on the A330/340 turned out to be a good thing :D
Now you know why BP petrol disappeared
Serious question.. why cant they off engine 1 before it lands ya? Better no thrust then exceeds thrust at landing? Hm...
Maybe they figured it's better to hv reversers available on landing
Am I crazy or would it have helped to turn the master 1 switch off like 500-200 ft above the ground?
I came looking for this comment - too much thrust to safely land? Shut it down and glide in. Glad it turned out well though!
The graphic quality here is up there on the Moon.
One question comes to mind. When I was getting a pilots license, one of the most important parts of the pre flight checks was to get a fuel sample out of the fuel tanks in the wings. It seems this would be something that an airline would do as well. Wouldn't the pilots have to take a look at the fuel samples? There is no mention that this was done. Was this a pilot oversite? It seems this would be standard operating procedure.
Did you watch the beginning of the video?
Couldn't they just turn of the engine 1 when they were moving too fast for landing?
I think the engine was unresponsive
A few minutes after takeoff and engine trouble already. So why not turn back immediately?
When engine 1 was not responding to set the thrust to idle, couldn't have they turned it off from the master switch in order to not land which such a high speed?
No other aircraft got contaminated fuel?
I wonder too
No other flights were affected by the contaminated fuel?
Isn't it the same as the BA flight(777)problem?
Can we start charging people for stopping to grab their luggage?
Shouldn't pilots be advised to land at nearest airport when signs of possible engine problems are indicated. Passengers safety should always be number one priority.
No
The nearest was Hong kong
Not necessarily. The nearest airport's runway could be too short, or it might not have the emergency services and equipment needed, for example
How was engine no1 producing that amount of thrust but at the same time the thrust reverses deployed?

Your voice 👌
How come only 1 aircraft was affected with this contamination at the airport?
The first to load fuel from that branch of the fuel piping after the contamination, and they got the lot. They only tracked it back through the fuel metering valve deposits, the destroyed filter where they'd uploaded the fuel, and trace deposits.
Why is it that most of your videos have “Airbus”?? Just curious!
Where were the emergency vehicles 🚗?
Why was no other airplane affected by the contaminated fuel?
Can't the pilots use the engine master switch to shut down engines and slow down during the descent?
Sure, would you shut off your vehicle’s ignition on the freeway and just coast all the way home without power for steering, brakes, etc?
@@billeldon That's not what he is suggesting. Shutting them both down on final approach seems plausible.
@@billeldon When you have Batteries, a Ram Air Turbine AND an Auxiliary Power Unit, plus brake pressure accumulators, and it is downhill every inch of the way, absolutely. They should probably have done that earlier to prevent the overspeed landing, but the tough part is guesstimating how much earlier. Unless either of them had recent glider or single-engined experience (power-off landings are a required skill demonstration for single-engined flight, where pilots of multi-engined aircraft are assumed to deal with engine failures by bringing a spare to get them to the accident scene) to guide them, as it isn't something normally rehearsed in the simulator. But when you discover that there is no checklist for the problems you have, that is the kind of thinking that saves lives.
❤️❤️
Is the error that the amount of fuel goes up after takeoff?
Cabin looks like CEBU PACIFIC A321
why didn't the pilots shut down the #1 Engine just b4 touch down would have made it easier 2 stop i would think
They, humans, haven't been through something similar and didn't know what was best. I still don't know what's best... Immediate, abrupt, loss of thrust could be chaos
I was thinking the same. Shut it down, lose altitude and glide it in for a controlled landing. Pilots should practice more all engines out gliding and landings at least in the sims. It seems they panic when they lose engine power. Coming from a hang glider pilot whose every approach and landing has to be spot on as we have no such thing as a missed approach-go around available. We get one attempt and that's it. You blow it badly enough and you're dead. BTW, ACI, another EXCELLENTLY produced video! I hope your channel blows up! MORE content PLEASE!
PETROL ADDITIVE WOULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR CLEANING THE INTERNAL ENGINE ROTATION OF PISTON AUTOMATIC MIXING WITH PETROL SO
In this video it's depicted as a A330-900neo in real life it was a A330-300ceo.
Passengers disobeying orders from the crew by taking their belongings with them should get fined. Or even sit in a local jail for a while, idc. People have literally died because of these idiots in many occasions.
❤
Popcorn 🍿 time
Nice video, but I have a suggestion: At the beginning, you tell what happened with the contaminated fuel, so one knows already what is going to happen. I find more engaging if you leave it until you tell what happened with the flight, so more or less telling the same story chronologically, since they didn't about the fuel contamination until the investigation, that happened, obviously, after the flight. I find it's a bit like an spoiler telling it at the beginning, and probably people would like to know what happened and view the video until the end. But that's my opinion.
And on another note, the plane is a A330 but the video from the inside is from a single aisle plane 😅
Hi! Thanks for your feedback!
We all know the real name should be Cafe Pacific
Landing with 48 tonne of fuel probably didn’t help 😜
