    On the other hand there are incidents like that Cirrus SR20 crash in houston that killed a few people that happened because the ATC kept telling her to go around many times in favour of getting larger jets down and she ended up fatigued, getting progressively less precise and eventually losing control, stalling and falling on to a parking lot. There's a limit and sometimes going around can become unsafe, especially if you're tired after a long flight and have done it several times already.

    Petter, another beautifully explained Lesson! Sorry if this gets long, but I lost my Dad in 2012, and I've had nobody to "Nerd out" with about Aircraft since then... My Dad and I are both Retired US Air Force... I was an E-6, Loadmaster on the C-5B and C-17, but spent a lot of time in the Cockpit, because of my love of Flight. I'm also a light Civilian Pilot. Those Aircraft didn't have to placate Passengers, just the Laws of Physics! So what you talked about here was very relevant to large Cargo Aircraft. Now my DAD. He was the Hot Pilot! He's flown some incredible and significant Aircraft. I'll just mention two, as they exemplify the point I'm about to make... Starting with the U-2, and finishing with the superlative SR-71 Blackbird!! NEITHER Plane could even READ the Laws of Physics - much less follow them! 😳 The U-2 had the narrowest Terminal Velocity Band at Altitude. But Landing is the discussion here. This Bird was overly Aerodynamically Efficient when Landing. It would frequently "float" up to 7 metres over the Runway, and often had to be FORCED down. Even as slow as 65 knots! The Guys often pulled the Drag Chute - 3 metres above the Runway!!! Now the HABU (SR-71!) She was Aerodynamically Efficient around 1950 KNOTS and above 80,000ft! Landing was a whole different Animal. Kissing the Tarmac BELOW 215 Knots, meant you've already CRASHED! She was the most beautiful Aircraft, but was essentially a large Boulder with 2 giant Engines! The P&W J58 Turbo/Ramjet Engines produced over 135,000lbs of Thrust. .... And most People don't realise that she's BIG too. Roughly the same size as a B737-300, that carried two People! STABILIZED Landing?? Yeah, neither was much good at that. Now one of my Dad's Friends, flew the F-15 Eagle. Those Guys MADE their own Stabilization!! 😂 If he was up to 6000ft above Glide Slope on Final.... HE could descend at 15,000ft per minute, and stick the Landing!! Ain't Fighter Jets COOL? If you read this, thanks for putting up with me. I really admire what you do here on this Channel. I really HOPE that you don't represent a dying breed... Intuitive, Professional, "Seat-Of-The-Pants" Pilots are going away, being replaced with marginally Trained, get everything out of a Book, Computer Monitoring Devices! I've seen on too many occasions, CVR evidence of at least one member of the Crew exclaiming "WHAT'S THE AIRCRAFT DOING NOW?" Gives me a sinking feeling. When I stuff myself into a cramped Airliner - I always HOPE that there's someone like you up at the pointy end.

    What I find really interesting is the result of some calculations I have done. An aircraft flying at 450 knots at FL390 has to lose around 95% of its energy to be flying at 160 knots at 1000 ft. Although I am not a pilot this clearly illustrates the importance of proper descent planning to manage the energy.

    Good video on that topic. Even for smaller airplanes. Just recently I could experience the difference between stabilized and unstabilized approach and the resulting landing. Flying a C152 came in to an airfield, too high too fast. I realized it when I caught myself pushing for the runway threshold. Decided for a goaround, second time went like a charm. A few weeks later came in to another airfield, got into the same situation, but for some reason - maybe feeling overconfident, maybe just simply getthereytis - I decided to push on, to force her down. There was nothing stabilized anymore - I can definitely confirm that stress level is really spiking all the way down. Not helping at all. The airplane felt “uncooperative”. Of course, I was trying to make her do things that did not fit her energy state! Touchdown was barely controlled and just lucky that type of aircraft can take so much. After that I realized that this was a real life “what if” experience. Two high energy approaches, one aborted and the other showed me “what would it had looked like if” I hadn't aborted.

    I was a passenger on an A320 flight into Heathrow when there was a medical emergency over Belgium. It was impressive how quickly the pilots took the plane from cruise altitude to touchdown in Brussels. Perhaps 15 or 20 minutes? I was watching out the window when the pilots began a rapid descent with a sudden reduction in thrust, nose pitch down, and speed brakes out. As no announcement had been made, it was startling. Eventually the pilots did announce that a medical emergency would require landing in Brussels. Once on the ground, someone who was not moving was put in a wheelchair and taken off the plane, and their luggage was offloaded. We proceeded to an uneventful landing at Heathrow. Never did find out what happened to the passenger.

    It normally is, however sometimes you get a late descent, change of runway, a shortcut from a longer arrival routing etc. leaving you with less miles to lose altitude. You have to manage it with techniques such as speed, speedbrakes, early gear extension, flaps, or simply ask for vectoring to get more miles.

It feels like that if you have a gut feeling about something, even if everything on your instrumentation seems ok, then you might not want to chance it with Ansett (Aussie joke there!), because your gut feeling is telling you something. Your gut feeling could keep *hundreds* of people alive here, surely? If your gut feeling is telling you that maybe it’s not a great idea to go down a strange alley at night - then I think you should damn well listen to it, because your brain is trying to tell you something that the monkey-see-monkey-do side of your brain may not be aware of.

    Phyde4ux made a question about flight PIA 8303. I had the same question in another vlog and the answer was no. That crash's most PROBABLE CAUSE was that, when descending with engines idling, the aircraft was most of the time between 200 and 250kts, therefore they were able to deploy the landing gears. The warning signs were for extended flaps in higher speed than the ones determined by Airbus. That's why they did not pay attention to them, they knew what they meant. I believe they had the landing gears down and locked before approaching the runway. Until very close to landing, the flying pilot was calm and had not requested emergency landing due to mechanical problems. When he noticed he would miss the threshold, he called internally "go around" and the co-pilot retracted flaps and landing gears too soon. Due to the stress of steep descending and all the adjustment for the sudden decision, they did not communicated that to ATC immediately. Only after the aircraft had stricken the runway and gained altitude, he communicate problems with landing gear. Notice that the warning sounds stopped when he tells that to ATC. That's because the flaps were retracted by the co-pilot. Due to the speed and very low altitude, without flaps, the aircraft lost lift momentarily until the engines recovered thrust. That's why ATC witnessed an attempt on belly landing and asked the pilot if he was going to do it again. Another crucial point to consider is that a major international airport such as London, Zurich, JFK, Atlanta, ATC would never allow this unstable approach and would never ask if the captain was "comfortable". How that theses appeals to my Mentour Pilot's colleagues?

    8:30 Physics teacher here. Drag does not "destroy" energy; it just moves your kinetic energy to the air around you instead and also converts some of the kinetic energy to heat. The result is a reduction of speed. I have heard fighter pilots on documentaries mention trading altitude (gravitational potential energy) for speed (kinetic energy) and in air combat, Speed is Life. In non-combat aviation, that is not such an important detail, but when coming in to land, you have to lose (not destroy) your gravitational potential energy while not picking up too much speed. So the energy process is: chemical potential energy (fuel + oxygen in the air) is used to produce thrust, thus gaining kinetic energy which is traded off to gain altitude, thus gaining gravitational potential energy, taking you to cruising altitude and speed. To land, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (you speed up as you descend), but the pilots reduce thrust to allow drag to slow you down (transfer kinetic energy of the aircraft to kinetic energy of the air and heat). As you slow down, you can start using drag-inducing flaps to increase the drag energy transfer to the air. The flaps also produce extra lift at low speed by converting some horizontal kinetic energy to vertical (upward) kinetic energy, but you are descending faster than the flaps are lifting, so you keep going down). So by balancing the transformation of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and the translation of aircraft kinetic energy to air kinetic energy (and heat), the aircraft can be safely brought down on the runway threshold, where it can convert almost all of the rest of its kinetic energy to air kinetic energy (by thrust reversers, as well as flaps and other drag inducing mechanisms) and heat (brakes, and increased drag) in order to slow down to taxi speeds.

    @Peter L Yup, I stand corrected, even though I am sitting right now. The flaps are converting momentum, not kinetic energy, well not in a way that stays with the aircraft. The flaps are providing increased lift with increased drag, and if the aircraft is too fast, there is too much drag on the flaps and thus too much force and the flaps could be damaged. The additional lift provided by the flaps is balanced with the rest of the flight controls to keep the aircraft going in a general down direction during approach for landing, while at the same time allowing more of the kinetic energy and momentum of the aircraft to be transferred to the surrounding air.

    Descents ... Oh, the stories I could tell about my student pilot days ... Like the time I was on a student solo on the downwind leg in the pattern for landing and the tower asked me if I could make a short approach. My response? _"I'll try."_ ATC: _"Disregard. I'll call your base."_ (IIRC, the tower was trying to get me in ahead of another aircraft on a straight in approach.) Yes, now I know that my response should have been _"unable"._ I had done a few short approaches with my instructor, but wasn't really proficient, especially since my CFII's preferred method was to perform a slip to lose altitude.

    Your explanation is impeccable. In the case of PIA 8303 there was not an offer from Karachi's ATC for a short cut because they warned the pilot that he was not under SOP and then later ATC commanded him to turn 180°, giving the pilot a chance to circle once more, slowing down speed and lowering his altitude. But the pilot ignored that, unfortunately.

    I learned a lot today about the descent until landing operation both in nominal and degraded mode and the role of both the captain and the copilot during approach until landing. I completed the video with going to Wikipedia in order to understand what the ILS is and how it is implemented around the landing strip.

    Speaking of trying to lose energy and how it can be difficult at times, that reminds me of situation I read about. A military aircraft needed to refuel from a tanker out over the ocean somewhere. I don't remember the exact details but they were having trouble making enough speed so after the tanker had done everything else to slow down, the pilots In the thirsty aircraft were shocked to see the landing gear come out of the bottom of the tanker

    One either plans or one doesn’t. “Pre-plan” is a tautology. Fascinating to learn just how much thinking and planning has to go into an approach. I just assumed you would get your shortcut, drop altitude, slow down and pop the aircraft onto the ground. Had no idea there were so many additional factors to consider.

    I have been on a flight where the pilot was trying to land; we all noticed on the monitors in front of our seats that he was still going the equivalent of 300mph, which seemed high. Right before we were about to hit the runway, he ascended, and then we circled the airport for ten minutes before he got on the PA and said that "it was too windy to land". Judging from the earlier moderate flight turbulence we experienced a few hours earlier in the flight and him not saying anything, I assumed he was a new pilot.
