Pilots learn early on, you don't mess with thunderstorms! On one of my training flights, we saw a thunderstorm settle over the airport while my instructor and I were still out at the practice area. We wait for the thunderstorm to pass before returning to landing. The edge of the thunderstorm was a good 5 miles away and everything looked clear, but as I came in to land, just before crossing the threshold, the aircraft was pushed sideways by a good 60 feet such that I was no longer over the runway. Of course, I immediately performed a go-around, came back and landed safely, but that was quite the learning experience.

Sad part is that in New Orleans we always have thunderstorms, but many people never even heard of microburst because we're used to dealing with Hurricanes and Twisters in our area (which usually occurs during the night). If flights were cancelled due to bad weather there no aircraft would ever take off nor land there, unfortunately.

I met this Southwest captain who was flying that day and they were ahead of the Pan Am for take off, he lined up, looked at the weather and canceled his takeoff and decided to wait. He knew it did not look good. He said he saw the Pan Am lift off, bank a little and flew into the wall of rain and clouds and never saw him again

Microbursts are incredibly strong. Last one here snapped my large beech tree in half. I was hoping for some survivors of this accident.😢

Just completed a buffalo-atlanta flight and the return trip. Happy to say, my flights will NOT be featured on this channel 😅

I remember when this happened because I was home and lived in New Orleans East. The aircraft crashed one block from my friend's house (he was at home when it happened) and saw the carnage. NTSB tried to blame the crash on "pilot error", then changed their accusation when they discovered that a microburst had occurred at that moment. It went down as we were going thru a typical thunderstorm which happened all the time in the South. All souls on the aircraft and some on the ground were lost and it was a very long time before the neighborhood recovered from the tragedy.

Since you did a plane crash in New Orleans.. do a stimulator on a plan crash involving a News Anchor.. her name is Nancy Parker.. she did a story on an old airplane at the LakeFront Airport in the East of New Orleans.. she did the story and minutes later she got into airplane with the Captain and flew but minutes later something went wrong the plane and it crashed....

Fun fact, the Qantas 747 was repaired and put back into service. Qantas are still ranked #1 in safety for never having a 'hull loss' accident. Mentour pilot has a good reaction video to a turboprop encountering a microburst on take off. Scary to see!

My father always said, when you're not gaining altitude, the throttles go thru the instrument panel and you pray.

The industry simply didn’t know that much about microbursts at the time. It wasn’t until Delta 191 went down in Dallas in 1985 did a more aggressive stance toward the phenomenon Take place. With the technology and procedures in place the last 30 years neither the PanAm nor the Delta accident would have happened.

Great video's. I look forward to them weekly, yesterday I was missing them. And coincidentally, I had re-watched the Kenner one this morning. Before this appeared. Wind shear and microbursts, powerful weather phenomenon. And I had not seen the Quantas incident before.

I had a retired airline captain tell me a long time ago that he and a group of pilots flew that New Orleans scenario in one of the airline's simulators multiple times and none of them could make that plane fly no matter what they did.

Question on first scenario: Takeoff thrust is usually determined by a combination of the plane's takeoff weight, runway length, and environmental conditions, so that if you don't have to burn fuel at maximum thrust, you can save the airline some money. Can I assume that, given the bad weather, the 727 pilot would have selected maximum thrust for takeoff?

@mred8002

Ай бұрын

Thanks. I was wondering, too, as the full thrust of three engines and a light load should have done it, maybe. Too bad about the noise.

Wiki says: The damage was such that the aircraft was initially a write-off, but to preserve its reputation Qantas had it repaired at a cost of approximately AU$100 million (the exact figure was never disclosed by Qantas).[4] Returning the aircraft to service enabled Qantas to retain its record of having no hull-loss accidents since the advent of the Jet Age, and also proved to be the more economical option for the time, as a new 747-400 was listed close to $200 million.

This was the reply I was hoping to find, since I was questioning Qantas’ zero hill loss record.

Aw, this was a very sad and tragic accident which I clearly recall. Pan Am (1980) had acquired National Airlines which gave PA immediate access to domestic routes in the US. Pan Am had previously been well known for her international destinations. This Miami, New Orleans, Las Vegas, San Diego trip was formerly National's - a solid airline back in the day.

Fantastic graphics as always, and the new shorter format is great , thanks

I'd be fibbing if I said that I didn't hold a carrier like Qantas to a higher standard of flight crew communication and risk management standards. The accident flight, Flight 1, was an absolute crap show of preventable errors.

Luckily the grass outside the runway was wet and boggy to help the plane slow down, glad no injuries or fatalities

In the second crash, there was poor communication between the Captain and First Officer, which would have also been a contributing factor in the overrunning of the runway.

Yes, poor CRM, followed by the mistake made by the Captain when retarding only three of the four throttle levers. He had the authority in that cockpit and should have set the example by communicating clearly the decision to cancel the go-around, communicating he would take control of the aircraft, for example.

I was a very frequent flyer years ago. I never liked the 727. Always felt underpowered to me. Taking off from Mexico City was a white knuckle ride on a 727 because the plane used every inch of the runway before lifting off.

Probably not the most significant Quantas incident as it says at 08:59. That would be the one in 2009 involving an Airbus. It lead to broken bones, broken spine, broken lives. The documentary on that incident was very sad to watch.

The Pan Am crash was just so sad. They really never had a chance. RIP 145 souls. Quantas was really caused by the Captain, just interfering with his First Officer without letting him know what he was doing and why. Luckly no deaths, but there were 38 injuries.

thank you for not starting the video with the end.👍

It would have been nice to do Delta 191 for a microburst video. If we ever can get to it, I would like to see FedEx 705, the US Airways-Metroliner incident at LAX, Turkish 981, and Alaska 261.

Yeap, every once in a while you hear a Delta airliner “going around due to WS warning”.

Says the pilot in the 727 took off at 7200 feet down the runway. Did those old 727's take that long to get airborne??? Or did the pilot perform a reduced power takeoff?? You would think that with a thunderstorm you would want full power, those engines screaming to get you airborne and build up airspeed(more lift) and altitude as quick as possible.

Greetings. How do you do sirs?

With a forecast like that, I'm staying home - especially nowadays when you might have a couple of DEI hires in the cockpit, incapable of flying their way out of a wet paper sack with a radar vector.

New video let's watch

Not sure the pilots of the Pan Am flight could have done anything in the short time space and I'm not sure how you train for this situation either. Puzzled as to why the Qantas flight was part of this video: was microburst a factor here too?

My goodness, the Qantas incident sure was a cluster fcuk of epic proportions. The Captain sure was a moron. If he had let the co pilot just land or once the thrust leavers were advanced continue with the go around he had ordered things would have turned out fine.

Back when MSY looked like a rural bus terminal.

Hey could you do the recent fedex landing (when theirs more info)

Ban assault trees!

The story of a very lucky plane, and a very unlucky plane.

That second one was just plain stupid, as opposed to the first crash which was unavoidable due to lack of winds shear technology.

That is why I would never have a house near the ends of runways either end. Side on is much safer if you have to live near an airport.
