Mentour driver your channel and content just keeps getting better and better. Having a Father whose owned 4 small general aviation aircraft and spending countless hour in the right seat, fueled my love of all things aviation. Took an aeronautical class in high school and even sat for ground school exam. However I’m a pauper and never took it any further. In hindsight I wish I would of gone on. I could listen to you for hours on end. Keep up the great work.

Awesome video Petter!! Love the long videos!!

Once again you show the many safety procedures and practices that protect all on board.

Thank you Mentour! It’s a brilliant wrap up and reminder of what might be on the menu for the upcoming days in Northern hemisphere.

One of the major "got yah's" of aviation, is that a plane will start to fly in ground effect before it can actually climb. It can give the impression that it's flying but only at 1.5 times wingspan (roughly) from the ground. So it's really important to look at the actual numbers.

As a Washington DC resident, I knew Air Florida was going to come up before I even clicked on the video.

Being afraid of flying you make me feel safe with your honest opinions as a professional pilot.I have flown 5 times on holiday to Spain because of you I have no fear.Respect to you sir I cant thank you enough you are my hero not just to me but to my whole family.

The southern shores of the Great Lakes in USA and Canada are some of the most dangerous areas to fly in winter because of icing conditions which can develop quickly and become extreme. Night operations are especially troublesome. I was flying from Michigan one January, the plane had to return twice for deicing before the pilots finally got the IFR flight plan filed and approved before the hold time expired.

I fly my small citabria in Chicago/Michigan frequently. I've also had a job flying a BN islander in Northern Michigan. In the winter it's... Exciting to put it mildly. Lol. But yes, very dangerous. The smallest error can result in fatal accidents very quickly. Much more quickly than in good warm weather. The islander is a beast and even though it doesn't have anti skid or anything fancy like that, it's a twin with a damn good weight carrying capacity relative to its size, and can take off and land from a postage stamp. 10 seats and a stall speed of 45 mph with flaps down. An amazing airplane and my favorite I've ever flown. It's like the old Chevy pickup truck of planes. Many a time after landing on a snowy icy strip in the middle of nowhere northern Michigan, and start skidding sideways. Differential throttle saved the day on many occasions. Throttle port down and starboard up, feet dancing on the pedals right hand flying from throttle to throttle rpm lever to rpm lever. On many occasions I was thanking God I learned to fly on a taildragger. Lol

I would think it's quite dangerous here (Saskatoon, Canada) too. I've been searching for a video that talks explores the difficulties of an aiport like ours, where it is winter like half the year, if not more, and where -40 C is a fairly normal winter temperature. We not only have the very cold temps (I have seen it -52 with the windchill), we have blizzards, low visibility (all the blowing snow makes for low visibility, even when it's not a blizzard), strong winds, iced roads/sidewalks/runways, etc. I am so curious about all the various challenges this weather of ours creates for the airport/pilots/etc.

So many details!!! I appreciate the way you're making your videos. Clear scenario, excellent graphics, perfect explanation. 👍 It seems it's going to take some time to watch all of your videos. There are so many...

It is today 4.13.2019 about six months after you created this video. I believe this is one of your many very good videos. However, this one hit a personal note for me. The Colgan air crash is a milestone in the history of aviation disasters. I say this because this crash did not involve a major airliner. It involved a smaller company which was later determined to have been accepted to allow pilots with the minimum amount of flight time to satisfy the U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAA Regs) at the time. It is my understanding that this crash was the prime motivator for the change in the FAA requirements to change through an act of Congress to require all pilots who transport passengers on scheduled airliners to have a minimum total flight time of 1,500 flight hours logged into their personal logbooks. The Colgan Crash was THE MAJOR disaster that required ALL PILOTS to have at least 1,500 total flight hours for all pilots and at least an ATP (Airline Transport Rating) for the Captain. Too bad Ethiopian Airlines did not understand the significance of the U.S.A. regulations. It was satisfactory to Ethiopian Airlines to have a copilot with a total flight experience of approximately 200 hours of Jet time experience and a total of about 360 total flight hours. Let's go back in time for a second. After WWII, army and navy pilots returned home after combat. The CAA (Civil Aviation Agency) was in charge of certifying new pilots after they returned from WWII. New pilots were trained by ex-WWII experienced pilots. The CAA was changed to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) which subsumed and adopted the wisdom gained from WWII fighter pilot and transport pilot experiences. Thus, the experiences from the WWII pilots were used to form the rules and regulations for the pre-baby boomer aviation population. It was from the foundation of the WWII pilot experiences that formed the basis of the now adopted FAA regulations. The present FAA regulations for IFR travel is still based upon a backup system that "presumes" a radio communications failure as a default position in case the radar or radio communications fail. The system is still good but is undergoing rapid changes due to the advent of WAAS and ADS-B. Ice has always been a major problem. Even today, moderate icing is a place no man nor beast will travel. Even the airlines are not permitted to travel into moderate extended icing conditions for over a short period of time. Even if your wings get as hot as the SR-71 going at Mach 3, you will be restricted. That is a good thing. Even modern day jets are restricted for "moderate icing conditions". Thank God for people who have experienced these conditions and have made special rules for others to avoid.

As a plane enthusiast the app is great!!!!! Loads of info with very helpful community who are willing to clear any questions no matter how basic.

Living in the DC suburbs when the Air Florida crash happened. It was a nightmare day. I was considered the worst thing that happened here and then 9/11 of course made it look minor. May not know that the subway had a huge accident in a tunnel at the same time with fire. Horrible day. Great video though, learned much again.

There was another famous accident that happened in the very early nineties due to icing in northern Ontario (Canada) however will not mention the carrier even though they are long defunct. I think it was a Fokker F27 flown by no less the chief pilot who preached safety on the subject of icing however it was found out he had a severe case of " get-home-itis). The Canadians are truly the ones who wrote the book on winter ops. Good explanation and presentation as always, thank you.

Thank you Petter, this is a great vid (as usual ;) )! Some (my gâsh, 14) years ago we had to fly from BUD to VCE with a Fokker 70 equipment in a nasty cold weather. We were scheduled to depart early morning like 6:30am, and there was some sleet in the night. We saw the plane was sprayed over and over again (now I know it was perhaps a deicing agent) and they had some difficulty with the empennage as they returned there over and over again. About an hour later we were commanded to go back to transit (and have some breakfast on MALEV's costs) and after one more hour we were boarded to a B737-700. We arrived to VCE some 3 hours beyond schedule (our business partner returned home but later we met)-but it was a really spacious and comfortable flight for a Fokkerful PAX on a 737-700 :D Oh, and there we had one more trouble: VCE had thick fog and we were in hold for some 40 minutes to get it safe for landing. (AFAIK VCE is really prone to fog.) Nowadays I am a bit off with spare time but previously I was quite frequent on your app and I can agree that the community there is really cool and helpful!

Every single video is very interesting, thanks. When using anti-ice fluid, does it all come off of the wings during take-off, does it affect take-off thrust/lift if there are left over fluid on the wings and if so, in what margins are we talking about? This came into mind because you mentioned about affects on aerodynamics when there is something on the surface of the wings and reducing lift.

Perfect!

Flying a small plane, I discovered the carburetor icing up on a day I think was about 60 degrees with the rpms falling off. Carb heat fixed it right away, but if I had been even less attentive - it would have been a problem. On the plane I was flying, other than carb heat, there was pitot tube heat and the manual suggested reaching out the open window to clear ice and snow buildup on the windscreen to see to land. My father flew during WWII. He talked about using the aircraft's alcohol antifreeze reserve to clear the windshield from ice build up when landing (that probably would have been an AT-18 or C-47). He said there was enough fluid to clear a small area to see to land - but only once. Most big planes had deicing boots. One had to wait until the ice built up enough so that when the boots were activated the ice would crack off, otherwise one could end up with just pushing the ice out away from the wing where the boots could not reach and allowing it to build up there.

I used to wonder why ground operations in my flight simulator would recommend deicing with an outside temp of 10 celcius. Great video thanks

I was expecting you mentioning the Gottröra incident, but I guess there wasn't time to go into other icing effects. And ice being sucked into the engine might be a less common problem now when fewer aircraft have engines placed in the rear, like the MD-80.

@sharoncassell9358

The ice still gets in. It forms in clouds & in the air and goes right in. If its rain snow hail or sleet it gets ingested into engines and they may surge. Then they need to spool back or lower altitude to less cold air. Its about minus 60 degrees F. At 36000feet in the air.
