I think flight attendants have extremely difficult jobs, and we don't give you enough respect. You are servers, bartenders, dealing with unruly passengers in the worst possible environment, watching for potential threats, and simultaneously, you are responsible for our lives. As a former bartender on the ground, I can't imagine doing that 1 job in the air, especially when you don't know how much people have been drinking at the airport. Then there are the people who yell at you at the airport because yelling at the person responsible for your flight, seating, and safety is a great idea? I fly often, I'm always SO kind to the cabin crew and typically bring a small gift or just a card. I often get free drinks and better seating for being a lovely passenger, but it's not why I do it. It's respect. People are tired jerks to you guys. A simple, written, " Thank you for what you do," is always met with so much appreciation by the cabin crew. You clearly just don't hear it enough. So, THANK YOU for what you do!

I worked as a mechanic of bush planes in northern ontario (Canada) for several years. One time I took a flight in one of our 206's on floats to recover another of our planes that was stuck at a remote lake due to a mechanical problem. As we accelerated down the lake for takeoff, I noticed that the pilot had placed his left hand on the strengthening bars that crossed the windshield. I noticed that the paint was worn away from him holding onto it. I commented about how he had taken his hand off the throttle and grabbed the bar. He told me that he did it every takeoff. Many years earlier he was on takeoff and the seat rolled back on the seat rails. That didn't result in a crash, but it scared him so badly that he always grabbed onto something solid for every takeoff.

Otherwise - pull the yoke with you backwards -> yank the plane into the air at too low airspeed, stall, spin, crash and die. Or if you get lucky then you only lose yaw control while still on the ground and run the plane off the runway, most likely hitting something.

Your story reminds me of a flight I had. I was the co-pilot on a 747 ( i think it was a 747F but not sure) A three man crew, pilot, co-pilot and a flight engineer. We were leaving Narita at night. The taxiway that leads onto the runway is a very gentle curve so that when your finally on runway heading during the takeoff your going about 60 kts. On the three man 747 the pilot flying sets t/o pwr announces take off thrust and has his hand on the throttles while the engineer also sets the power and monitors the engines The Capt I was flying with was a short pudgy guy who never stopped talking. During the rolling takeoff the Capt`s seat came loose from the seat track lock and rolled back and outboard. (On this model 747 the capts seat track after coming straight back about 18 inches it then curves left and moves about 8 inches outboard while continuing back. ) WE must have been doing 120/130 kts. I looked over and the capt was waving his little arms and legs but couldn`t reach any of the controls. I took the controls and continued the t/o. After we got up into the air and I had retracted the gear and was working on raising the flaps the engineer pushed the back of the capt`s seat with his left foot and the capt rejoined us. He sputtered why didn`t you do do do something? I told him that I was busy flying the aircraft. The shut him up for quite a while. I had not thought of that for over 30 years. Good times.

The First Officer has the control and there is no way to know if the seat issue is going to happen again. The Captain should in my opinion have continued as pilot monitoring and should have scanned all flight instrument settings to confirm they were set as intended.

Жыл бұрын

Ehhh.. you can be "extremely uncomfortable" with the Captain retaking controls all you like, but IMHO, that's not THE main issue. The biggest issue is that the pilots didn't follow the checklist for a tail strike. Had the strike been a bit more forceful, they could have had an explosive decompression and fallen to earth. They never should have climbed up to a flight level. It's a simple three-step checklist, but it boils down to this: If there is a tail strike, don't keep flying; land right away. Simple.

I couldn't help but laugh at the dramatic intro of the pilot's seat falling back. Usually it begins with engine fire, or loss of control or something else gravely serious. The seat falling backwards felt almost like a comedy skit :D

Other channels cover air crash investigations as well, but I feel what really sets this channel apart is the level of care taken to educate us about expected or normal processes and basics of aviation. That way we can completely understand what went wrong and can fully comprehend the analysis and conclusions from the investigation. This means I not only learn what happened in this specific case, but can also apply that understanding to other situations. This has demystified air crashes for me and has given me so much more appreciation for the expertise and professionalism of flight crew. I credit this educational emphasis for keeping the conversation in the comments largely positive, as well-instead of the toxic environment that unfortunately permeates most KZread comments sections. I’m grateful for the content of the videos and for the team’s efforts in creating a welcoming and positive community.

I worked on a military airfield years ago, tons of F16s all day every day. I took some of the electricians out to the north end to figure out why an ILS antenna wasnt working. It was designed with a shear pin to allow it to fall in an impact. We were sitting there trying to figure out if one of the mowers hit it, or if someone backed into it with a truck when I looked at the top horizontal antennas. They all had a tire mark. Measurements matched up with an F16 tire. He had to have tapped it so lightly that he didnt even know.

Hi there Mentour, just wanted to thank you for all your time and dedication making these videos, they are incredibly valuable for those of us who aspire to learn from mistakes we could’ve done and become better pilots. I have no doubts when I say that in a realistic day-to-day scenario I would’ve probably made the same mistakes as these pilots without realizing how severe they were till I landed and actually took a look at the aircraft. I also love your perspective when you analyze these incidents or accidents and never turn them into a drama showcase, but instead you make of them a learning experience, without pointing fingers at people responsible for it, which is really hard but, after all, the goal here is to learn how to prevent those mistakes. It doesn’t matter if you fire the pilot responsible for an incident, another pilot could end up making the exact same mistakes if you don’t implement solutions that get to the root of the problem.

During my primary flight training and while flying solo a C150, my seat back broke just as I was climbing through 500' to avoid the terrain on takeoff. Thankfully, I had just trimmed the airplane for the climb out, so when I fell backwards and released the yoke (lightning reflexes) the airplane continued to climb at Vx. It took several seconds of grabbing for anything other than the control yoke to pull myself upright. Once I got myself stabilized, I turned towards home plate and radioed for a straight-in approach, about three miles. Upon safely landing I inspected the seat and discovered the broken stop tabs that had precipitated my predicament. When all was said and done, the repair of the seat caused an AD for that particular type seat installation, which was vastly better than an NTSB recommendation following what could have been a fatal accident.

This story shows that anything can happen while dragging your 737 across the ground like a dog drags its butt. I'm not sure that an altitude of 5 feet, while smashing through the airport's wall is what I would consider "in flight". ;)

The problem with the seat: it happens. The problem with the throttle: totally understandable. The only *real* fail is when the pilots decided to NOT CHECK the tailstrike checklist, even though they both noticed the thump during takeoff, AND got informed by ATC of a ground collision. That failure is not just silly, but downright criminally negligent.

I found this channel a few weeks ago and have watched a number of the videos. They’re all fascinating and very well made, with absolutely superb storytelling and graphics. (These videos even got me through my colonoscopy prep day, which is saying a lot! :) I really appreciate Petter’s positive attitude and commitment to teaching. This video is my favorite so far. The pilots’ insistence on continuing the flight as if they hadn’t just flown through a brick wall demonstrates an almost comically absurd level of denial. It shows one of the cognitive distortions the human mind is capable of under severe stress. I’m just glad their wishful thinking and lack of common sense didn’t result in a disaster. Also - I love seeing your dogs in the videos! I have a chihuahua-poodle mix puppy named Sally Ride (after the astronaut). Sometimes she watches the videos with me and seems to notice the dogs. :)

This one was really interesting. Love your details and follow up with the investigation. You are detailed enough without simplifying things and not over doing it with complex details. Also, loved the puppy in this one. So Cute!!

Nice presentation. I only flew the 737-800 around 1200 hours. Now I'm going to my basement to dig out my manuals. I do remember the QRH Tail strike checklist though. The only pilots that had a tail strike at my airline were the Chief Pilot with the 737 Fleet Manager in the right seat. Watch out for those management pilots that never fly. In the case of this crew, a four hour leg after they were told of all the damage shows the poor judgement of the capt. They had a good airport to return to and many suitable along that route. Easy for me to judge from my keyboard but I do have 29K hours of no accidents, incidents or violations.

More like human nature to reduce perceived harm. They knew they were in it deep by their comments toward the end of the flight. Natural reaction would be to at least accomplish the proper flight, lessening the issue of the tail strike. But that self-preservation placed all of their lives at risk. They would be in trouble for a tail strike at any airline. Continuing the flight compounded the error, and I suspect would work against them, whereas if they had just immediately returned they could have said that “stuff happens” and after the weirdness of the seat collapse they tried to make everything right.

The fact there was so much damage after they hit the antennae and a BRICK WALL isn't surprising at all, but how did the plane just continue flying normally and the pilots didn't even notice is just incredible. What an incident.

The two pilots should have landed back at the departure aerodrome as soon as possible.. it's just common sense, in my opinion - it's not only about checklists. But I am honestly even more astonished by the airline's behaviour: this company took part in the story only to ask the flight crew to do something even more dangerous (fly a longer route in order to bring the aircraft home when at that point they were already quite close to the original destination).

At my new job it's very fast paced, focused on customer service, and quick turn-around (10 minutes or less depending on which service - one is less than 2 minutes). Normaly one person can handle each part but if there is a rush of customers we are taught to call for assistance to keep the turn around time low. Then there are our versions of a "crisis". Equipment down? there is a checklist document for some and back up equipment for most others. Customer Complaint? There is an acronym! Values and priorities? There is an acronym! Safety? There is a dumb as bricks phrase (I love it and I am obnoxious with it). Some of my co workers have gotten lax about all the procedures and you can bet that is causing conflicts, but the managers love that people (no I am not the only one) pushing the bar back up to where the standards are supposed to be.

Impressive that the 737-800 manged to survive it all, although perhaps the chair design needs improving! Your point as to it being easy to make bad decisions under stress was very well made! Great video. What happened to the crew after the investigation? It's interesting - they must have known they had a tailstrike too as they were clearly aware of a failure of the VHF antenna when called by ATC...

We don’t know what happened to them but I make a point of not following that up. These videos are made to highlight safety improvements mainly

@@MentourPilot fair enough. I take your point. I was simply thinking that the crew seemed more scared of the consequences, it would have been relatively reassuring if that fear had turned out to be misplaced.

I was also expecting you to say that this ended in a crash into the ocean, when you got to the bit about them approaching Oman. Or that there would have been a fuel leak caused by the impact and that they didn't make it back to Mumbai in one piece. Pretty amazing that they then flew all the way back to Mumbai and after all of that, nothing at all happened to anyone. Had to agree with what you said about the resilience of the aircraft!

I mean, I'm not a pilot but: bump felt in the cockpit, felt and heard by cabin crew, tower tells you you hit the antennas and wall. Get the plane on the ground *now*. I dont care if cabin pressure is holding and the engines look ok. Was this a case of "get-there-itis"?

@@Tmanaz480 A zillion instruments all reading like they're supposed to, aw we couldn't possibly have ripped a good one on the underside? Actually given that it did rip the underside, how was it possible for the pressurization to have even worked? Is that all a non pressurized area? Maybe they thought "no apparent leaks, no harm"?
