If he keeps making videos like this about aircraft systems, I think even as a line training captain he'll someday be out of a job... "So, where did you learn your way around a cockpit?" "Mentour Pilot..." "Ah, yes. Great content on his channel. You're hired. You're starting next monday. Would you like to be first officer or captain?" On a serious note though, this knowledge could possibly save lives in a case both pilots get incapacitated. Someone who's got some basic knowledge about the cockpit, where everything is, and how the plane should behave, could in such case possibly get her on the ground with less damage and injuries than if you just let her do her own thing.

Even if there were someone on board who either is a pilot or knows enough to call ATC to get them to get someone to teach them how to program the autopilot to land, the sad truth is that it wouldn’t matter. Because thanks to the events of 9/11 it’s incredibly difficult to even get into the cockpit because the doors have been reinforced and are always locked.

Alaskan airline flight 261 would be a perfect example of catastrophic failure in the horizontal stabilizer. For those who aren’t familiar with that incident, it was a MD-83 that went down off the California coast in 2000. It was determined that the airline delayed maintenance on the jackscrew in an attempt to save money, but they delayed too long. The jackscrew ran out of grease resulting in the threads to stripping out. This eventually caused the plane to go into an unrecoverable dive and loss of aircraft with all hands.

@chunkyazian

There were 2 factors that contributed to this. When the screw ran out of grease and it was stuck, the pilots used 2 motors instead of one in an attempt to turn it. That was too much for the damaged thread to handle. But the scariest part of this was the M-D engineering. After the thread stripped and the stabilzer hit its down limit, the pilots managed to level off at around 19,000. That was until the down limit nut failed and the stablizer went past the down limit. Had M-D designed it to be fail safe, had there been a bigger nut at the down limit, the pilots might have made it as LAX was in sight

Like @Felix C it was multiple factors. If the screw jack on the 737 fails the Hstab can't travel past the limits like the DC9/MD8x could. Additionally inspection is easy as the jack is in the tailcone not inside the tail. The design is very different as the arm will get trapped between bottom gimbal the safety nut which unlike the DC9 is huge. Finally the pilots sadly did the unthinkable after 2nd or 3rd event. They tried to use the trim again (like normal). If they would have left it and limped back to LA they would have survived.

It always blows my mind how many redundancies are built into aircraft. I get why it is, and I am so thankful it is, but you guys work work with so many safeties built in. It’s really cool. No human is perfect and I know at the end of the day, if you keep you alive, you keep us alive. Much respect.

3 years ago and it was my 2nd lesson in a B 737 full flight simulator from Lufthansa Flight Training in Berlin. At some point my flight instructor asked why I was trimming so often. I told him because I like the sound of it so much. Have a nice Christmas Time too. 😃🎄🎁

trim = trim, definitely the same idea, just applied in a different way

I was in a DeHavilland Buffalo that was on a return flight From Anchorage, destination Comox. It had a manual unassisted elevator trim wheel in this aircraft with no autopilot. There were a dozen crew in the back and after a few hours of boredom, everyone quietly moved as far aft as possible, and we watched the pilot compensating automatically as his hand hung down casually, just moving the wheel. We all moved forward, and we giggled as we watched him moving the wheel. After three or four times, his head came up as he realized what was going on. He looked back at us, and pushed the stick hard forward, we all got thrown to the floor, and as he pulled hard back, we all flew up into the ceiling, then all falling down. Everyone had a giggle, but we all learned not to mess with the pilot.

I did wonder what they were there for during the “could a passenger be talked through landing a 747” video. In honesty in that scenario even in a flight simulator I’d be so tense and anxious that when they first span around in my presence I wouldn’t have been expecting it and almost jumped out of my skin. That being said, I’m surprised that my guess on their function wasn’t actually that far off as I figured they probably were some kind of manual control just in case the computer took inspiration from my PC at home and just stopped working for no apparent reason. Which, given my closest experience to piloting is when I stole a fighter jet in one of the Grand Theft Auto games, wasn’t a bad guess.

You mentioned quite a few times about the spinning things getting jammed and how to manually turn them but how often does that happen? Have you personally ever encountered that situation and wondering whether at that moment of urgency (noticing the failure) is it really possible to focus on manually turning them?

Great information in this video. Explained clearly. Keep it up

I always thought they were fidget spinners for the pilots to play with when they get bored. Seriously though, trim is equally important for RC cars. When you've got a toy car going 60 miles an hour with less than half an inch of ground clearance, the car is capable of veering off-course and smashing into a curb (or someone's ankle -- or face, if the car catches the air and turns into a kite -- yes that can actually happen) before you even have time to realize something is going wrong. So you have to trim the steering accurately enough that you can punch the throttle and accelerate all the way to top speed with minimal steering input, or else the car will be too unstable to actually drive.

@oliwek70

3 жыл бұрын

In your RC car example, is it not rather like a deadzone setting, more than a trim ? (you make the deadzone bigger, so that little impulses on the stick are not registered, where a trim acts as a force, and moves the center of an axe in one direction, so that if you release your hand or thumb from the remote, it centers on a value different than the original untrimmed zero value, in your case the RC car would then have a tendency to turn, as a real car with bad wheels geometry). If it is a trim in the case of RC cars, is it because the small car has an issue of wheels geometry, or because of outside factors ? (such as wind, or the track geometry)

Wow !!! every time I climb up the stairs of an aircraft, especially on the back entrance, I wonder why there are markings like a measuring scale. Beautiful explanation. Thanks for making effort to make this video. Super !! keep the good work going.

I'm just hitting every video in my recommended using "Open in New Tab" to wish everyone a happy and safe end to 2020! Love all of you (even if I've argued with you). Be safe, be well, know you're loved, let's work our asses off to make 2021 a little less... grim. No matter your deity (if any), we are humans... let's stop acting like it and actually come together for a better world.

The same to you, Jeremy. Let's see if we can make 2021 better. Since 1200 BC we've had more than 250 epidemics and we're still here. This latest virus won't take us out either. It WILL take out the elderly and those with a compromised immune system.

A lovely video, as always. Is this in response to the Max entering service again? Or are you at liberty to explain why you are revisiting this subject? (Not that you really need much reason. The trim system is surprisingly fascinating.)

No, it has nothing to do with the MAX

It is a weird video. There is obviously no mention about Max as if the pilots were not allowed to talk about it anymore. It sounds and looks like some Boeing promo video. The airlines using them are probably counting on that people will not be asking about the aircraft type after lockdowns are finally lifted being happy to be able to fly somewhere at all. But I think that the whole era of cheap flying in cramped economy class represented by obsolete 737 is over. People will be willing to pay more for their safety and comfort and the bet on Max entering the service again as if there was no pandemic is wrong.

@@resortsman what is with the amount of dumb conspiracies under this video

That was very educational. Thanks! 🤙

Clear skies and happy landings, and happy holidays - whichever one you celebrate.

If all trim and control system fails and stucks, is it possible to fly or land or turn the plane if full of obeying passengers (in theory) just by ordering them to go to the left/right side of the plane or if everyone moves/runs to the front/back of the plane or somewhere inbetween assuming they can go to the proper spot perfectly and instantly? :) Can they mess up the landing by running around and jumping in sync, and if yes then how much? :)

Yes I think you can. - Though it would be far more for elevator trim than roll trim because of the shape of the cabin.. The big problem though is that passenger control response time tends to be pretty slow. (which then tends to lead to things like uncontrollable feedback oscillation..)

He said "with me so far" Me: still here but not understanding anything 😂🤣

I like the way you’re explaining everything. I now have a better understanding on how this works.

Thank you for talking about the spinning things; was always wondering about that

@Jim Mork If you prefer something more dangerous than the MAX or the amusement park, I can suggest driving a car.

@Jim Mork There have been countless examples of cars crashing into mountains or plunging into water. Drowning is never a pleasant way to die. If a plane crashes into water usually people die quick and painless.

@Jim Mork no intention to argue about that,but you can google for the toyota trhottlegate case.a bug in the code of some toyota models who make the car suddenly go full power. not a faulty sensor or similar,a real program bug that make the car go full throttle.

@Jim Mork there was quality control staff who got fired because they found they were using substandard parts,making them fit by drill and hammer,specially the wing forks,those who later needed replacement and much more parts.there is no regulators actually,boeing certifies itself their own airplanes and the regulator just accept the incoming documentation,without test or verify nothing.thats why they are not more the standard for the rest of the world like before.there are documentarys here on YT,and they seem legit. The toyota case,it seems the code was a pretty nasty mess,plagued with patches over patches never cleaned.finally they accept to pay to the US goverment on the condition to not look further. dont know who is worse.

this sounds complicated and arcane, and i now realize how much of a novelty fly-by-wire systems can be

Wow love the explanation, thanks man, cool T-shirt btw :D

Beautifully explained.

Supposing many aircraft in a holding pattern at a busy international airport. What is the standard response when communication from ATC is completely cut?

How often do you bang your knees into those cranks, or have one start spinning while your knee is resting against it?

Just the once, then you keep your knee out of the way

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job!!! I suggest you do segments on the secondary systems such as the flaps, etc as well as other trim systems ( yaw & roll).

Not the same without the doggies in the background.
