      I don't remember exactly which video here on this channel. It was the one with the Russian pilot who lets his son "fly" the plane. I think the video creator commented that it was as if the pilots wanted to crash because there were 2 points in their disaster that if they simply let go of the controls, the plane would have corrected itself.

      Yes, it’s like a panic error made by a private pilot who has only just gone solo and yet you’ve got a couple of experience people on the flight date with lots of automation to help and lots of warnings, interesting I don’t know if that’s relevant or not, but a friend of mine who flew for our national Carrier in New Zealand did an upgrade to a 737 type rating in America, and while he was there, there was a pilot from a very wealthy country from that part of the world in this video I can’t remember the exact country, but apparently the pilot was absolutely useless, but he tried to literally bribe the American instructor with money to pass him when he wouldn’t. He departed and said no problem he will find a flight training instructor that will give him his 737 rating!

      @secondskins-nl 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      @@hoopdesign I'm not a pilot but on approach you've basically idle thrust since the plane gets more like a glider from your top of decent. All is calculated in a way you land as slow as possible with margin of course. The pilots didn't pull up anything, it's the automatic applied full thrust that made the plane pitch up. As said in the clip, the pilots should actually have pushed the nose down to counteract. You want to keep speed, without enough speed you drop like a brick.
      And it's all split second work, once you lose sufficient air flow over the wings you're too late. You can add power etc but all has a delay with a big heavy plane and already close to the ground there ain't much margin.
      Flying a plane ain't hard but doing exactly what's right in some seconds in a unusual situation is. That's why pilots are trained on situations they often never will encounter. Both of these accidents where avoidable but that's with a lot of accidents. Humans are pretty lousy if it's about focussing at a lot at the same time and if there is happening a lot around you it's really easy to miss something. Especially when things are unexpected.
      If you read the comments you'll notice a lot of super talented pilots who won't make mistakes are actually just commenting TH-cam videos the entire day. Total waste of talent and could make aviation so much saver to have them as pilots /sarcastic

    First incident in 1981: The pilots were flying a route that was new to them. They obviously did not study terrain charts before departing, and had no clue they were flying toward a mountain. This is inexcusable. They entered a holding pattern at the wrong speed, which means their execution of that holding pattern was incorrect and led them toward the mountain. Again, inexcusable. It was their responsibility to understand the correct speed required of that pattern. If the air traffic controller had access to radar that could tell him where the airliner was, he could have told the pilots in plenty of time that they were in the wrong place. Instead, both he and the pilots made all kinds of assumptions. Had the pilots told him "We have never been here before," maybe he could have been more helpful. The investigation cleared the controllers, but I think their asking the pilots for the airliner's position would have prevented the crash. Second incident (Yemen): Did this flight crew learn how to fly an airplane? Suppose they had shut off all the automatic functions. Could the Captain have manually flown the plane to a safe landing? One girl won the lottery - she lived to tell about it. It's sad that every other passenger and the flight attendants had to die for this crew's gross stupidity.

      Agreed, I'm no expert, but you would have thought that the ATC controller would have had a much closer eye (radar, ADS-B) of the flight path. Hell...he had ONE job to do. Again, I'm not an expert, but from what I've watched on flight tracking sites, my Monday morning QB'ing doesn't seem like it is all that hard. In fact, more mundane and repeated over and over. I can get the gist by listening to radio communications at a major airport vicinity and flight tracking sites, or just receive my own ADS-B...ACARS or HFDL can be a tool as well.

    What is not said in the video is that the circling approach on runway 20 in Moroni is particularly challenging. There is actually a hill (not shown here) near the 20 final. You can’t just extend even a bit the downwind leg, you have to be fairly close and the final is necessarily short. You are stabilized on final only at around 300 ft. There are lights which must be operating at night to provide some guidance. This is way over the level of competency of those pilots, who couldn’t even control even a basic flight path at night, like making a turn without descending, according to this video.

    In the 80s we had a horrific approach into Preswick Scotland aboard a British midland aircraft. Looking out the side window you couldn’t see the wingtip. The turbulence was so severe that the over head bins opened up. I was a young Marine and I was with a Corporal from our unit. At first we were laughing but then our wing tip dipped and kept dipping. I looked over at the flight attendant and she was petrified. The plane leveled out and everyone was screaming. I honestly thought I was going to die. The turbulence was even worse and the engines were screaming. I looked out of the window and saw green but no runway. We slammed into the runway and the grass. We shuddered went airborne and slammed back down. Slid sideways and then straightened out. As we taxied to the gate the pilot said in his Scottish accent. “Thank you for flying British Midland airlines. We hope you enjoy your time in Preswick or other Scottish adventures” As I was leaving the plane I asked the flight attendant for her number, what is the worst that could happen after that. We dated for a year after that…

    The second one is sadly not the first time an airliner has crashed because of the crews inability to fly a visual circuit in the dark. Gulf Air lost an A320 in 2000 after a go around ended up with a botched circuit and a crash on finals. Worse still Gulf Air did there level best to blame the aircraft and not the crew even after the CVR was released and proved the crew ignored multiple "pull up" calls, along with being all over the place when it came to height, speed, and headings.

However, until you have experienced 'vertigo' while in the 'goo' at low altitude doing 150 knots, you have no idea how difficult it is to overcome millions of years of evolution developed 'balance.'

When the stall warning first sounded the plane was less than 20 degrees nose up, a completely normal attitude for that plane in a low level climb. The crew were focused on the lack of roll control, that's why they didn't recognise the nose was higher than it should have been

    so in the first one would ATC not see them on the radar and then relize that they are in the holding pattern?

      Nope, they didn't have radar in 1981, probably don't have radar today, it's a tiny little place.

    The first one seems very similar to TWA 514 in 1974. Instructed to descend too low, bad weather and poor visibility. They also couldn't see the mountain

    Bad situational awareness. It seemed like the pilots weren't even scared or paying attention when stalling

    What was the MDA on the circling approach plate chart?? Did they fly it? I guess not.

  • @buddhistsympathizer1136

    Great video - But I have no clue exactly what was happening with the second video. How did they continuously get so low to the ground?
    (I think stress lead to the ulitimate loss of control of the plane).

    • @skayt35
      @skayt35 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you're hand-flying and your reaction to getting too low is to pitch up, repeatedly, and never increase thrust, plane will ultimately stall. At that point, with the pilots not even reacting to stick shaker, the plane set thrust to TOGA on its own, but then pilots' only reaction: pitch up. The pilots were severely out of order.

    • @jsmirnoff77
      @jsmirnoff77 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They continuously got too low because they failed to execute a basic maneuver - holding a Rate 1 turn while maintaining altitude. When you execute a turn, you must monitor your altitude and/or vertical speed. If the aircraft is losing altitude, proper pitch correction is due. PF was not doing that, he attempted several turns and lost all the altitude resulting in GWPS warnings. I don’t understand the altitude setting of 0… You are handflying… your altitude setting should be changed to the go-around altitude published for every runway in the charts.

    It always affects me on an emotional level when I think of the passengers. Their final moments spent in sheer terror! Hopeless, Helpless! To this day, I'm still haunted by AA191 on May 25, 1979! That photo of the plane 90 degrees to port, engine missing, trail of mist from the wing! I was sitting in Dormitory TV Room.with my.Girlfriend of the day! We both wept quietly as the reports came in.

    I'm not an aviation expert and I watch these videos for leisure in addition to educating myself on the complexity of the aviation industry (I also get help from a lot of the people in the comments section who works and used to work in the aviation industry) but in the first video, I don't think the blame should be placed on the pilots ENTIRELY because firtsly, the ATC officer started the chain of events leading to the disaster, did he not? Well, the crew did commit grave mistakes on their part but the ATC officer did worse I think and they committed the FIRST mistake here and the fact that they were cleared of all charges is beyond me. If I'm mistaken or missing something here, somebody explain it to me, thank you.

    • @bignades1
      @bignades1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you’ve looked at a lot of accidents, you’ve probably noticed in almost all cases, “blame” is not a good word to use, as accidents are usually a chain of mistakes(though for the second crash in the video is a rare case of pure pilot fuckup). In every day flying, people make mistakes all the time, and nothing happens. Rarely do several mistakes line up so perfectly to cause a crash. You could argue if any of those mistakes didn’t happen, crash wouldn’t have happened. You can’t necessarily blame the first mistake, especially if it wasn’t a severe one. The real question is, how can procedures/systems/training be changed to make this chain of events close impossible. In some rare cases, it’s also ok to declare something an unpreventable freak accident. World is chaotic and crazy shit happens for no reason all the time

      Yes, they did not. A small airport in 1981 couldn’t justify the expense of the equipment and operators.

      It sure looks that way. Those two needed to not be allowed to fly commercial aircraft. They not only killed themselves, but took over 150 crew and passengers with them.
