Douglas DC-4 Plane CRASHES into river near Fairbanks, AK (2 DEAD)

23-APR-2024
A Douglas C-54D-DC Skymaster, operated by Alaska Air Fuel, was destroyed when it crashed into a steep hill on the bank of the Tanana River, about six minutes after takeoff from Fairbanks International Airport (FAI/PAFA), Fairbanks, Alaska.
Both pilots perished.
ADS-B data shows that the airplane was climbing to about 1500 feet before it began a descending left turn towards the river. An online video shows that one of the engines on the left side exploded, followed by the airplane entering a steep left bank less than 10 seconds later.
(Sorry for the caption mistakes. I would be very glad if you ignore them 🙏)

IMPORTANT:
This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations.
To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

    Somebody at FAA should train controllers not to yammer a flight crew to death, right when they are dealing with an unfolding emergency. If they need the controller's help, they will say so, but in the immediate emergency, the controller should just say, "i'm standing by..." and then just shut up.

    I don't know what you're comparing these ATC to, nor do I know if you've ever been under the stress of watching someone die before your eyes, or if you've ever been aboard a craft having an in-flight, but my guess is a solid NO. This ATC did just fine. There's no evidence the pilots were the least bit negatively affected by ATC. Remember, there are many times ATC gets a call about a craft having to return to the field, most of the time ATC don't know the condition of the craft until the pilot tells them; and nearly all the time the pilot is able to tell them.

    Why is it that folks are self designated aviation experts and opine on things they know very little to nothing about. Opinions are just that...opinions. Please have some respect for the surviving families. This aircraft had a maximum gross weight of 66,670 lbs., much lower than the 71,000 lbs. that the military operated them at. Consider that a explosion and resultant fire on any side of the aircraft is going to disrupt the airflow and lift over the affected wing...not withstanding any damage to the control surfaces. The fuel tanks are located within the wing immediate aft of the engines. I have may hours as Pilot in Command in the DC-4 flying wildfires and have "lost" many engines over the 11 years operating the aircraft. The aircraft is a very agile and predictable aircraft. I equate it to a 4-engine Cessna 182. Please reserve judgement until the NTSB Final Report.

What steps did they take to rectify that problem before deciding to return to Fairbanks? As far as I know, there are only two people who know the answers to those questions, and they're both dead. And if you don't know the answers to those questions with a high degree of certainty (and you do not) then you're not in a good position to pass judgment on their actions in dealing with whatever they were dealing with. So, putting aside the fact that you don't have anywhere near the information you need to make a judgement on their actions, you're simply wrong about them taking 90 seconds to turn. According to the ADSB track log, at 01:59:08 they were climbing on course (280 degree heading) by 02:00:00 they had already completed 53 degrees of their turn back toward Fairbanks. Assuming a standard rate turn, that means that they began the turn back toward Fairbanks no later than 35 seconds after the earliest point that they stopped climbing.

    The aircraft is low, slow, and heavy. Losing an outboard engine on a four-engine prop (non-turbine) at that altitude, violently, is very rarely recoverable. Ignoring the damage likely caused by an exploding engine, the loss of power, plus the yawing , tends to hamper stable flight - it would require a very unique set of skills and circumstances to keep the aircraft flying for a return to the field - which is what the crew recognized early with the call to put it down in a field nearby. Adding the likely catastrophic damage to the wing structure and flight controls due to the engine exploding, the height about the ground when the event occurred, and the stage of flight, this was, most likely, an unrecoverable event. Obviously, an NTSB report has final word, but this doesn’t look like ‘something doesn’t add up’ - it looks exactly what it appears to be; a catastrophic engine explosion on departure while the aircraft was low and slow, and the crew was transitioning in the departure phase to the en route phase of flight.

    It's plainly a left engine issue. Don't know what video you're watching. Left engine blew and the right engine rolled it TO THE LEFT. Fire is evident as it rolls. Turning left back to the airport was going to be a problem but the sudden explosion at a slow speed might have stalled it. Turning into the good engine is the first thing you need to do. Then Mixtures/props/throttles/Identify/verify/feather. My guess is they are not counter rotating props so the Critical engine blew and the right engine, having more adverse P factor rolled the plane over. Those are BIG engines.

    Roll is the secondary effect of asymmetric thrust, initial effect is yaw in the direction of the failed engine and if that yaw is left unchecked by rudder application or reduction in thrust on the opposite side then roll follows and the entire thing keeps repeating.

    It didn't appear that they had time to even implement any procedures. The engine blew up and they immediately banked hard left and crashed. Of course they did have some indication of a problem about a minute before the crash. So, maybe they could have shut the engine down before it exploded? But even to do that would have taken a little bit of time. They had to mentally comprehend what was going on and then bring to the forefront of their brain what to do. There wasn't a whole lot of processing time available to them.

    Pilot never called a mayday, ATC immediately gave them instructions to get them back to the field and treated it as a mayday call. Props to her One of the first things you learn in flight school: "Aviate, navigate, communicate" if you miss some calls or something because you're work load is too high flying the plane oh well. Communication here was frankly impressive due to the nature of this incident. Most pilots would have called mayday and that'd be the last thing you heard from em

    this is a real warning. Fracking, which is pet coke, is getting on top of circuit boards, causing short circuits in all electronic boards. Do not fly unless you clean your circuit board electronics/first, then test for hours, all devices are yes, stopping. shorting out. Pet coke contains several non visible metals such as chromium, nickel , zinc, etc etc and the pm is so small on it, it can enter thru your skin into your blood. Or into the contacts on any engine, This is not a joke, and it is not ,meant to make people upset, it is a warning against all fracking dust, and to try to get you not to fly, until you do the right thing. All fracking oil companies should be law suited for this problem with mulitple law suits, This may be the only warning you will get. We are not in aviation, we are normal people that do not put up with bull shit. Very sad, Very sad indeed. That to some people, money is worth more than a soul.

Ask Jesus change your mind about sin (repent), then go and love and serve your neighbor, because He has all of your sins covered and will guide you through your own death to everlasting life of joy and pleasures forevermore.

Of course you're reading about it because plane crashes are, like it or not, news. However your argument doesn't include any actual data. The data is clear, and that's flight safety has increased exponentially in the past three decades. Let's use commercial aviation in the US as an example. In the 1970s, you had 1,647 fatalities between 38 incidents within the US (again only commercial aviation and major freight). Compare that to 2010-2024 where you have 52 fatalities between 15 incidents. This trend is also mirrored on the General Aviation side of things.

    @@FirewallFilms1 Since the Wright brothers of course flight is safer today then back in the beginning and improvements have been made from windscreens, to frame, engines etc etc over the last Century that is a given . BUT if you "think" man aviation is not in decline as of the past couple of decades your head is in the sand. As I mentioned from equipment failures to pilot errors to mental and physical issues to simple stupidity ranging from pilot arguments with ATC to inept I know it all ones who think the sky and especially the airports are their own personal space. And I did tell you multiple times about current growing issues...so much so that even Congress addressed those issues with the FAA in the FAA funding meetings on capitol Hill before the FAA Reauthorization Act was passed ( where were you ?) Fatalities do not always occur in these incidents however the number of various incidents have increased and even YOU know that to be a fact so get your head out and wise up...and I can count the hundreds if incidents most never hear of because most only see it in or on their own local areas IF they get reported at all and many NEVER get reported unless someone dies I can say the same about auto accidents and issues, one local one near me had multiple explosions and fires and NO media outlet ever mentioned it..did someone die, get harmed, burned up, was it a 18 wheeler, a car ( looked to me through the smoke at a distance it was a mid size panel truck but who knows )? but after contacting 3 news agencies about the incident NONE reported anything about it and local Fire and law enforcement do not release info to Mr Citizen...SO how many aircraft issues have been the same...YOU do not know nor do I , so now wake up and wise up and stop playing the fool. And FYI you think the FAA, NTSB report and or publish every issue or incident ?

    These two guys combined have more hours in the air, as well as takeoffs and landings, than probably 90% of all commercial pilots. Go learn something. Catastrophic engine failure (that most likely destroyed some controls) at low altitude in a fully loaded radial (not turboprop) tanker. The only real training that helps in that scenario is how fast you can say an Our Father.
