@@dilanforestieri4202 I second that! My dad, uncle, grandad, great grandad, great great grandad and probably as far back as our mining town goes were all miners. My dad lived through the strikes in the UK in the 80s and still worked at the pit when I was really little. I think it was probably around 1990 that he stopped working down the pit. Loads of mad things happened. His uncle Billy somehow ended up in the cage/lift when they were testing it (no idea why he was in there at that time but he shouldn't have been and nobody realised he was), they were letting it plummet from the top right to the bottom then slamming on the breaks just before it hit the bottom. They did it loads of times, over and over, before they realised he was in there. He got a big pay out for it coz it fkd his back up and he couldn't work again. My exes dad is a former miner too and he was involved in an explosion. He was one of the only ones to get out alive. He also got a big payout and that's how they were able to buy a house on a nice estate. They got 25k which for the 70s was a lot. My dad was never badly hurt but he did once drop something really heavy on his finger and it went black and the nail fell off. There's no way I could have been a miner, woman or not, I couldn't have gone down there even if I was physically capable. Just the idea of not being able to get out at any given time makes me panic, being underground in small spaces and blowing up rocks under the sea. I can't think of anything I'd rather do less. No wonder me dad had big muscles when I was little, they worked hard. My dad is on the front cover of a book of old pictures from our town. There's a picture of about 20 men down the pit and me dad's one of them. I was super proud when I saw it on the counter in my local shop.

Small fact check: The Air Florida flight was not down to frozen Pitot tubes. It was caused by the engine inlet sensor being frozen, giving the pilots incorrect engine speeds, making them think it was producing a higher thrust than it actually was. This caused them to take off at too low a speed, stall and crash. Regarding this Birgenair flight. It's angered me from the moment it was known that the Captain ignored mismatched air speeds at 80 knots >:( Their recklessness killed them and their passengers. Regardless what aircraft you are flying... if there is an airspeed mismatch at 80 knots, you abort. No ifs, no buts.

The thing is, the captains airspeed didn’t show a reading at 80 knots, so you already know something’s up with it, if that were to happen my first instinct would be blocked pitot tube. Then as you climb, if the pitot tube is blocked but the static port is clear the airspeed indicator starts to work as an altimeter, showing increase in speed as you climb. I won’t speculate what went through these pilots minds and perhaps this was less standard training and knowledge back then as it is today, but that is one of the first things I teach my students in piper aircraft when we start working on systems, and while a lot of things become more complex in larger aircraft, you gotta remember the basics too.

So in fact it was not an insect what brought the plane down but a major lack of CRM and a lack of flying skills (attitude, power, flaps) and airplane knowledge. The insect was just what brought all these issues up to the top.

It was also attributed to turkish culture. Investigators tried to figure out why the crew behaved like that til they got an Expert from Turkey in their team. Turkish culture says basically: "When somebody is older, you have to respect, no matter how this person is!" And this was the main reason. Cpt. Erdem was one of the most experienced Pilots in Turkey back in the day and the two pilots were not only his crew, they were also former students of Cpt. Erdem. Think of it like a school and the Captain is the Principal. Cpt. Erdem was seen as a Legend. The two pilots realized that Erdem did everything wrong very quickly but instead of taking over control they only warned him by talking. Also very half hearted. On the CVR recordings, they call him "Hocam" multiple times. This means basically "My Teacher" and is a form of respect. But Erdem, very likely because of his age, doesn't take them for full and basically ignores it. Like "I'm the oldest, I'm always right!" - And the former students were like: "He's the oldest, we can't disagree with him!" After this crash, similar cultural problems interfering with international aviation standarts were also discovered in many parts of Asia, like China or especially, Japan.

Pitot tubes are high on the body of the plain and can only be visually expected for covers from the ground typically. As they are hollow tubes that are a few inches long, you would have to climb on a set of tarmac stairs or a ladder to look inside. Now many companies use bright, vibrant colored covers that are not similar colors to the planes color-way so they do not blend with the body and they blatantly stand out from a visual inspection from the ground. If it’s a white plane, you are not supposed to use white or black covers which could easily be overlooked. You’ll see bold neon colors like pink, green, orange, etc. It’s not mandated that they use a color system but any airline maintenance tech worth a damn will tag standard covers with a vibrant piece of low stick, non residue leaving tape. You’ll even see guys use reflective tape in some cases. This method is especially important when a plane is grounded for any extended period of time. With flight critical maintenance work, a two party check system should be down. So two people will go over the plane together. This helps prevent overlooking things or the terrible practice of assuming someone else already did it because that was their job.

It's amazing that the airline kept a valuable asset at a airport for 20 days. Shame on the airline for making sure the aircraft wasn't airworthy. Those people died thanks to Bergen Air's shoddy maintenance

Great Video! In regards to the captain failing to abort the take-off at the 80 knot cross-check, the accident report stated that the crew had been positioned in the Dominican Republic for a fair few days, possibly weeks, and were desperate to return home. It is likely that the captain was suffering from what we call an "action mindset" or a "Go mindset", where they see the flight as a mission that must be completed. In this example, the mission is getting back home. So it is possible the captain ignored the faulty Airspeed indicator reading due to his strong desire to not abort the takeoff, tech the aircraft, and have to spend more time down-leg. Just as a side note, a lot of people are calling the captain all sorts of names. I think that it is important to recognise how human factors contributed to this accident, how as humans we are susceptible to these mistakes. The captain was 100% negligent and the crash is his responsibility due to him, not following standard SOPs. However, the fault of the crash lays with airline management, as it almost always does. Why was their CRM training not better, where was the maintenance oversight to ensure systems were in place to check pitot covers were used, why was there little fatigue management at the airline (calling out pilots at short notice for a late flight during their circadian low), why wasn't there more emphasis on the first officer speaking up against the captain (often down to cultural attitudes at the airline towards seniority), why wasn't the aircraft mechanically checked after being in storage etc. As with most accidents, aviation or not, the responsibility lays with the machine operator, but the fault lays with the management. Just my humble opinion!

That air France flight that crashed into the ocean is terrifying and heart breaking.

Another one is Northwest 6231 (might be worthy of a video of its own someday). The recurring theme in all these accidents seems to be that crews fixate on the first warning they get (generally the overspeed warning) and ignore the second warning, often leading to a perfectly recoverable aircraft being held into the stall until impact.

I was living in DR back then, about 10 km of the crash site and know one of the doctors who where called for the emergency and he was shocked about the state of the crash site etc. its truly a tragedy that many people there still remember, odly enough i was searching for new info about this just a few days ago as in a few days from now its going to be the 24th aniversary, RIP and our condolences to the friends and family members.

I can never understand how in so many accidents, when the pilots receive multiple conflicting warnings, they somehow seem to ALWAYS ignore the stick shaker and address a different warning. Which to me makes no sense. Even when things like speed and altitude readings malfunction, the stick shaker almost always seems to be one thing that is reliable. So many accidents happen because they don't believe it and then stall and crash. This being one of them. In my opinion you ALWAYS believe the stick shaker over everything else. And always prioritize that over everything else being as a stall is IMMEDIATELY life threatening, specifically at low altitude. An overspeed warning is not nearly as immediately threatening as a stall warning.... being as there is atleast a chance the plane will fly undamaged at a slight overspeed, whereas a stall at low altitude is essentially a guaranteed death sentence.

@beenaplumber8379

Pilots are taught to always believe the stick shaker. It would also have been a good idea to check the standby instruments - a 3rd set of independent instruments. When there are conflicting warnings, not only do pilots of crashed planes often ignore the stick shaker, but also all of the standby instruments. That's why they're there.

@patrickssenyonjo5133

Hi I’ve been watching your channel for a while. A private jet just crashed yesterday in the Dominican Republic. I was wondering if you’ll cover that when there’s enough information on the crash

Once found a black house spider in the stall horn on a Cessna belonging to the club I train at. Didn't interfere with the stall warning but was a surprise when I saw a spider crawl out onto the wing. I live in Australia so wasnt surprising it ended up there though

Very Clear Breakdown Of BHY301

We were on vacation in the Dominican Republic at that time and shared a hotel with many people who were on that flight. I was just a tiny kid back then and can't remember but my parents hung out with some of these people. Initially the hotel was reluctant of telling the tourists what had happened but CNN covered the news. It was so heartbreaking. One guy missed the flight because he had passed out drunk earlier. Poor guy spent the next few days drinking himself into a stupor. We were at Puerto Plata a few days later and were able to see them bringing in the body bags by boat. RIP everyone. The flight back home was anxiety inducing to say the least.

I forgot to mention that the video was great as always 🙂

So is the pitot tube on any list to be checked before each flight? It should be, imho, since I've heard of other crashes involving them as culprits.

Will you do a Video of AeroPeru Flight 603?

Given the relative inexperience of the pilots, I honestly doubt that pitot tube covers would have helped. They likely would have been missed during the rush that was the pilots' pre-flight checks, and it would have replicated the incident with Malaysian Airlines in Brisbane with deadlier results.

It's a real shame you haven't even bothered to look into the actual flight experience of these pilots, while it wasn't a lot on this plane over all it was a decent amount. So stop trying to make it sound like armature hour. Then trying to say they would have carried on the same way as MH134 did by not taking the tubes covers off, is just pointing the finger accusingly at dead people who cannot answer. As for MH134, why only blame the pilots you have the ground crew who put them on but didn't make a note, you have the MH staff who didn't pass the info on before he got on the plane & didn't make a note, then there was all the final inspection by the aircrew who should have had a note to remind them or a member of the crew should have reminded them there were covers. The last chance would have been during pushback when the pilot is meant to be watching out the window. So the blame cannot be solely lie at the feet of the flight crew, lots of people are at fault with this. Oh & did you know there were another 14-18 of exactly the same thing from the same airport. Except if you look closer you find out exactly what's happened. It's a very interesting read, maybe you should try it for facts, seen as you are lacking in those.

@@grandv12 depends how stupid the pilots are. Modern aircraft are capable of checking all the incoming data and cross checking with others to see if it is roughly the same and then displaying a warning if not. So for example if Birgenair 301 was an A330 (and you still decided to take off knowing your ASI wasn’t incorrect) you’d get a warning after takeoff saying NAV ADR DISAGREE with the action underneath saying to apply the X-Check procedure. This is what the crew should have done but they seem to have forgotten. In the very worst case scenario of AF447 the newest aircraft have synthetic airspeed usually calculated from the AOA sensors

This might be some of the worst airmanship I've ever heard of.

@beenaplumber8379

It's easy to judge, and it's true, their airmanship was horrible, but it accounts for two or three links in a much longer causality chain (didn't reject t/o, didn't inform ATC of emergency - ground speed advisories might have helped, and completely botched ATS recognition and recovery). Change or remove any link and this plane doesn't crash. Preflight inspection of pitot tubes, pitot tube covers, ops specs that mandate a thorough and systematic inspection of the a/c after being out of service for so long, better training for pilots, maintenance, and ground crews (ground crews - for seeking and spotting irregularities, like no pitot tube covers, and using their knowledge of unique local issues, like risks posed by the dauber wasp). Lots of factors brought the plane down, and changing any single one could have saved it. Was Birgenair's performance any less reprehensible than the pilots' for not providing pitot tube covers, or having an inspection procedure for the pitot-static system before putting a plane back into service that had been stored for so long, with or without pitot covers? Or for accepting a last-minute, rushed a/c change to one that had been sitting idle for 22 days, completely ignored, and improperly stored? Birgenair also put those awful pilots in that cockpit. That's another causal link that goes to the company. The pilots handled this incompetently, but I think the operator showed even more incompetence. At least equal incompetence.

The Pilots big mistake is feeding the autopilot incorrect information instead of switching off to the other airspeed indicator number to co-pilots indicator

Just know, I will be here for 100k.

The Air Florida 90 info is incorrect. It was actually the engine pressure ratio or EPR probes in the engine inlets that iced over giving false engine readings and showing more power than the engines were producing.

My dad had a bug get into his peeto tube on his cessna, the air speed indicator was showing zero after take off. He got down safely and kept a former shampoo tube on his peeto tube with ribbon so he would remember to remove the covering.

Air Florida flight 90 I think was ice on wings not iced up pitot tubes?

Most people do not realize how hot a pitot tube will get when the heat is on. I have had a fouled pitot and the first thing I do is hit the heater if it can't be burned out then you go for the alt source. Now I have had a pitot tube get hit by a insect and get clogged on take off the initial startle is hard to overcome even on clear day so at night with not alot of visual clues it's hard to not keep your head in the cockpit rather then fly the plane and make sure you have enough power to keep flying

Ironically. A stall and over speed warning were blaring of QF72, but the crew said that they can't be in a stall and over speed at the same time.

I've been a pilot since the day I turned 16. Received my ground school and IFR at my first opportunity however because jobs were so hard to come by I became an accountant and police investigator and medic. I feel I could have done some good working in my dream profession but it wasn't meant to be. Why most accidents happen by those who ignore their training.

Now I’m not a pilot, but when you have just started the climb, how can you have an over speed? Isn’t it obvious? Also during take off roll, if you notice discrepancy in speed reading,aren’t you suppose to switch to the other pitot tube since you had a malfunctioning left pitot tube?

It seems like two 15 cent bathroom faucet screens would have saved lives.

So the pilots did not trust the stick shaker despite altitude falling. They also did not realize after 25000h flying how much power the plane usually needs to fly at certain speed band - i.e. there is rather big difference in power between 300kn and 150kn. Plus they could have realized their climb rate is low for speed and angle of attack. Physics was not very strong with these guys.

I'm not a pilot but I have wondered, for years, why aircraft don't have GPS as a backup system. Does anyone know why this is?

GPS and IRS, in modern aircraft, is pretty much the main method of navigation. Both determine aircrafts location. In modern day, the older navigation methods such as VOR, DME, etc. are the backup systems, which involve radio stations at a particular location.

Lift is generated by air flow under the wing. The plane can be still moving according the GPS but without any lift if you have tail wind for example. This is why the speed in aviation is called airspeed and only the pitot tube can measure it.

@tomstravels520

3 жыл бұрын

GPS was not installed on this aircraft, it only came about in 1994 I think and wasn’t compulsory for airlines especially when it was probably more expensive. Also GPS speed would not be the same as your indicated airspeed. It would also depend on your altitude and wind speed/direction to accurately work out how fast your were flying to get enough lift

friggin' pitot tubes, man.

I have to correct you there: according to the final NTSB report, Air Florida Flight 90 did not crash due to iced pitot tubes, as the CVR recordings proof that those have been switched to “on”, while the engine de-ice system was switched to “off”. So it crashed due to a chain of pilot errors: The pilots failed to switch on the engines' internal ice protection systems, used reverse thrust in a snowstorm prior to takeoff, tried to use the jet exhaust of a plane in front of them to melt their ice, and failed to abort the takeoff even after detecting a power problem while taxiing and having ice and snow buildup on the wings. Resulting in an unstable takeoff due to the engines not generating enough power for a positive climb, which then led to the fatal crash.

2:36 The Boeing 767 That’s Supposed to take the flight was Dynamic airlines 405 which caught fire in 29th October 2015 at Fort Lauderdale Airport

There is one thing that always gets overlooked or not mentioned by all the documentaries made regarding this crash and its the following: They took off at night, yes that always gets explained, also the rain gets mentioned (in febuary in DR when it rains it pours), but what they never mention is that the runway in POP airport, on the direction they where taking off ends on a cliff facing the ocean, also the runway it self is never in great condition to say the least, there for i can imagen how in the small time window that the pilots had between 80 knots and V1 (about 12 seconds acording to the CVR) the pilot could have deemded it to risky to abort the take off as that is never an easy thing to do and even less so under those circunstances, not to mention that in those 12 seconds they only had the time to first notice the difference in airspeed readings and for the captain to ask again to make sure if the readings where in fact different, so in my opinion it is easy to say that they could have "slammed" the breaks somewhere in the middle of those 12 seconds but in reality i doubt that there would be many pilots if any that would have aborted that take off under those conditions. Another thing: the first officer did reconiced that they where in a stall but didnt voice his concerns effectively out of fear or "respect" for the captain (aparantly its a real thing in the aviation industry, there was also a crash of a BA plane that crashed short of the runway in the middle of a highway where that "fear" of the senior captain prevented the first officer to take over) the age diference and seniority of the captain prevented the first officer to take control away from the captain here as well, instead he gave timid recomendations to push the nose down etc to recover from the stall but it was also mentioned by expert training pilots (who simulated the flight) that all the warning signs and sounds where pretty overwhelming and thus have had to contribute to the chaos and desorientation.
