Maybe this video will shut those people up who complain when the pilots says they are not taking off or they are diverting due to weather and the passenger looks out the window and thinks, "it doesn't look bad at at all out there". Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it can't kill you. When i used to fly as a passenger, I never complained because I figure, the pilot doesn't want to die anymore than I do. So if he/she doesn't want to chance a landing/takeoff....I'm quite happy about that!

They could just think with the captain's head. The captain wants to land and rest too at the original destination. If he/she decides to divert there is a good reason behind that. Life or death for example.

Hi, AFmedic6871. Wow, I'm so SHOCKED after reading your Comment! You're being sensible, rational, realistic, logical and reasonable - but this is KZread, dude! How DARE you post a Comment like that! ;-) KZread aviation channels are watched by angry, opinionated young men who play computer games and fly cheap simulators at home; they know EVERYTHING about flying! Professional pilots like Petter, Captain Joe, Dutch Pilot Girl, and all the ex-military experts with tens of thousands of hours of flight-time on countless aircraft types are obviously just messing about. All those years of training count for nothing... Windshear cowards! Go-around chickens! Lightweights! Amateurs! Please note, I'm being EXTREMELY sarcastic here. It's just so refreshing to see a Comment like yours that points out the kind of things that real pilots have to cope with. Having 200 passengers depending on your skill and reflexes is something all the angry young men who criticise actual flight procedures from their crummy home simulator seats (with stereo speakers and rudder pedals - wheeee) will never have to deal with. I hope. :-)

Definitely! I once took a flight in a MD-80 (aka Super 80) into Sea-Tac Airport in a wind storm that was producing 60mph sustained winds. We almost had to divert to another airport, but, thankfully, the crew was able to land the aircraft safely at Sea-Tac on the second try. It was a really rough landing because a cross wind caused the right side landing gear to slam onto the runway. When we got to the gate, they apologized for the rough landing as everyone was getting off the plane, and I was like, "No worries! We landed in one piece, and that's what matters. I can appreciate that landing an aircraft in high winds would be hard."

Cool story bro

As a (now inactive) private pilot, I'd have to say that the scariest moment I encountered was probably due to wind shear. I was flying up the Owens Valley in California and encountering the well known Tehachapi Wave phenomenon. At cruising speed and altitude (8,500 feet, 100-120 kts) in a single engine 4 seat aircraft, I was experiencing the customary updrafts and downdrafts. Then, without warning, I felt a bump, the stall horn went off, and my sectional chart wound up on the ceiling of the cabin. This only lasted a fraction of a second and was over before I could react.

Fantastic. Learned a lot in this one. Those gpws voices are brilliant.

They are designed for that to ensure safety lol

I've been fascinated by aviation since I was 6 years old. I love aircrafts and always enjoy my flights even if is bad weather. I experienced windshier for the first time on a flight form Orlando to Newark airport on an A321 and it was pretty scary to be honest. I believe mostly because my wife and 2 year old where with me and they did not understand what was happening so they were afraid. We flew into a thunderstorm on approach and the wind was rocking the plane back and forward. At one point I noticed flaps and landing gear down so I knew we where going to try the approach, but then full power and we were going up again as the pilots did exactly what you just explained. Honestly I was amazed by how great the pilots did their job, but it was a very scary experience.

I love how, with all the talk of radars, throttles, flaps and all other gadgetry one of the most critical actions is to TAKE A BREATH. Underscores how important the human element is in flight.

I LOVE your imitations of the alert system. Have you ever had 2 or more windshear events in a row during takeoff?

I don't know what commercial pilots gets paid. What ever it is you deserve more. Lots more.

I experienced extremely severe wind shear on an approach in Durban, South Africa during a large storm a few months ago… We had to abort our landing when we were only what felt like meters from the ground and go around when suddenly the plane seemed to feel like it just dropped out of the sky! It was really frightening at such a low altitude as the sugar cane hills surrounding the airport suddenly seemed dangerously close! We climbed aggressively until we were finally above the storm and could rejoin the holding pattern to try again. The captain told us we’d damaged our flaps in the escape manoeuvre while we were waiting and that we’d be doing a flap-less landing but that it was perfectly safe. We finally landed after what felt like ages and were greeted by fire engines on the ground (still not sure why) but they drove off once they’d confirmed we were okay. The whole plane burst into applause when we came to a stop (there had been lots of prayer and tears) and the captain came on saying that that was the worst wind shear he’d ever experienced. I genuinely believe that the captain’s swift and decisive action that day as well as the raw power and responsiveness of those 747 engines saved all of our lives! Thank you for the informative vid!

Thank you Mentour! Fantastic explanations. It seemed to me like a rehearsal for an exam. So clear and concise, and oh, I loved the warning sounds as well!

My wife and have been binge watching aircraft investigations (she is a plane spotter!) & been trying to explain windshear to me. Fantastic video Pilot Mentor!! Thanks from NZ 👍

I thank pilots who keep us safe. Starting my PPL training next month

Watching your videos have made me appreciate the amount of knowledge pilots posses to fly these planes. Keep the videos coming

Now that was awesome! Thanks, Captain! More detailed explanations of procedures and operations, please. Fascinating. It helps the students as well as the enthusiasts.

My uncle had a wind shear event that he wrestled with during takeoff from Edmonton International Airport in the early 80s, and I’ve never really understood what the air was doing to the plane until now. Thank you.

We finally have a face linked to the GPWS voice! :D Great video!

Great description. Was on a DC9 once coming into final approach over Gatwick 20 years ago with storms. Never forget hitting hitting windshear on approach. The plane dropped like a stone on one side. The pilots did exactly as described. Climbed back out with nose up. But a minute later had a second event. Again the pilot put the aircraft up and powered out. However what amazed me was that he managed to get back onto glide path and landed the plane with a few minutes of the event and did not go around.

Wow! That was awesome! Thanks for sharing! The windshear alert voice was the best 😅 i had to buckle up, I could feel the shear!

Hey mate !!! You r doing an amazing job for all those passionate bout flying! I m on my way to become a pilot ( another yr nd a half to go ) and I find ur post very helpful! Also wanna congratulate u for being so dedicated and doing these videos, it shows how much u love ur job !! All the best!!

Wow ,best Pilot chanel so far!!!I have big fear of flying and your videos help me !!! thx a lot!

Great episode. I had an incident as a passenger many years ago on a return flight from PV Mexico to San Francisco. We were nearing the runway at low altitude (appeared to be around two hundred feet or less) in a very heavy rain storm, (I don’t recall there being any lightning). All of a sudden, a strong wing gust shifted to behind the aircraft and we fell like a rock for what felt like 1-2 seconds before the pilot was able to climb. The pilot diverted us to Oakland where the weather was better. He told us over the PA that after that incident, they closed San Francisco due to weather. We sat at Oakland for about an hour or two while we waited for a fuel truck to fuel us, and for them to open the airport back up, then we made the quick hop back to San Francisco and had no further problems. I’m not a pilot, be myself and a few others on the flight knew that the pilot averted disaster. All of us that disembarked at the front of the plane personally thanked the pilot for his skills and shook his hand!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and great experience achieved during years of effort. Great generosity. Master video!

Watched this before my exam, very helpful, thank u!

Always informative; again breathe rely on the monitor while the other flys the plane to affirm the necessary steps to get out of the windshear safely. Emotions need to be under control much is at stake.

Very clear and well explained tutorial , I will certainly continue watching your videos....

Your Videos are amazing and helping us to understand all kind of things in our studying .

Good morning and tks for the video. I would like to make one consideration. If you are at low altitude the pilot monitoring should call out ONLY the radio radar readings. You have already applied full throttle so speed should not bother the pilot flying as there is nothing he can do about it. Lowering the nose in windsheer escape maneuver is responsible for multiple hull losses lately. Keep up the good work! Leo

I kept waiting for that cup to go.

Great video as always! Are windshear and microburst different things? The microburst is the strong draft of air that pushes you into the ground, while the windshear is just a sudden and violent rolling of the wind in direction and intensity, right? I guess the microburst is mostly accompained by the windshear, but not necesarilly the other way around.

An excellent video from you Petter again.....great that you share all of this emergency situation.....really awesome videos.....thumb up

Very nice explanation Mentour! Thanks

wonderful,this video has been of help to me and i have learnt alot.

My brother flew F4 Phantoms in the 1970’s. He told me about a very near crash he had due to wind shear

Great explanation and very useful informations given. Thank you so much Regards

Thank you so much captain, The video was very helpful😊

Was on a flight in May when we had a wind shear go around. Terrible storms during the descent. About 1200 feet pilot started ascending. Had to divert ultimately. Didn't even get the extra miles! :) But, we did live-which was preferred.

Hi Mentour, fantastic video as usual! Is it possible to request a video from you? I am interested in you talking about doing a manual landing in a similar style to your podcast on the takeoff.

great job explaining sir !

Great video! Thank you for the information.

I watched this a while ago and was coming into to Bristol airport sat at the front and I heard the wind shear warning. Didn’t seem to do an escape manoeuvre, just landed as usual

Great video sir! Very informative. Thank you 😊

thank you captain, also well understood

Hi! Amazing videos! Thanks for all the valuable time spent on making these absolutely mindblowing episodes!! One question.. Does the size of an aircraft make a difference when encountering wind sheer?

okay very well explained. although I do not understand English very well, I was able to understand what windshear is. Thanks friend for this class !! GO AROUND WINDSHEAR !!! ✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈

You are great Men, cheers!

Cool Great Video Mentour Did not know so much about Windshear

Hi mentour great video can you do some videos in a sim showing normal and emergency procedures

The pod cast on wind sheer was very informative. I live in the states, but would love to fly with you at the controls. Who knows , maybe one day. by the way my grandson and his girlfriend actually flew on your airline and I told him what you looked like and your accent and he told me he was almost positive you were the captain and the flying was very comforable.

I'm surprised wind shear is only two tones. I would think it would be a 3 tone warning since it brought down so many planes before weather radar was invented.

VERY interesting video! For an Active Windshear Escape maneuver on take-off, I'm guessing you'll ignore normal departure procedures as well as ATC directives. Is ATC "understanding" in those circumstances?

I like the part where he says "pawdcahst".

Another great video! They have continued to be a inspiration to me as I continue my training! I am currently in Phoenix Arizona doing some flight training, specifically my hour building and then my commercial pilots license! I had a question which might make a good video, it may be similar to your video on how you handle stress but I'll ask anyway! How do you handle and how did you handle the tough days? The days during your training when maybe things didn't go as well as you hoped, or you didn't improve as much as you thought? Maybe you made a mistake? If you felt disheartened what did you do to remind yourself of what your doing and why? Really curious, I've had a couple of flights out here which I struggled with as its a new environment, new aircraft and I haven't flown in about 9 months so I was a bit rusty! I did feel a little disheartened afterwards based on my instructors comments, since then I have picked myself up and continued working towards what I love! Thanks Mentour!!

Thanks Mentour

Very informative!

Oh gosh sounds a bit scary , forgive me just being a passenger ! I truly admire your skill and expertise,

Nice job!

thanx mentour!

Now I know more about weather radar, and ground proximity warning system, and...how it sounds:)

awesome video captain loved it

Thanks! How many times did you actually have to execute wind sheer escape manuver?

Thank you, true professional as always 👍subbed.

thanks for your videos . please tell us about the FLIGHT DIRECTOR

I had an interesting experience while flying in FSX. I was preparing for a routine takeoff in the DC-4. As we know, the DC-4 has much less power then a jetliner. It was near maximum takeoff weight as well. I was flying with live weather. Wind condition were near calm. Maybe not even 2 knots. Rotating speed was at around 85kt. When I reached 100 feet AGL. Winds suddenly changed to a 30 kts head wind. That caused an unrecoverable stall within seconds. I was already at takeoff power and only had time to begin lowering the nose and that was it. Pretty sobering thought if that would happen for real.

very interesting and good information

Love professionals sharing 1:1 information

Very good and informative

Awesome video

Can you do a video on how you execute a smooth landing. Basically explain the procedures starting from descent to shut down at the gate?

hi ! Back to the MCAS... Thes MCAS is designed to kick on a specified circumstances: -High angle of attack " app 15 -20 degres -Maximum thrust -Autopilot disengaged -Close to the stall ( stick to the shaker) -Flaps up. Let us say we are above acceleration altitude and we have windshear.Escape maneuver is the items we discrabed above. Does the Mcas kiks on (push the nose down) or NOT. Thanks

thnx for sharing ur informations

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking... WINDSHEAR WINDSHIELD! TERRAIN... PULL UP!

silly question, so was it a windshear situation in the beginning of the movie "Flight" with Denzel Washington? (when he needed to escape from the clouds, before the hell broke loose and the plane flew upside-down)

There must have been a lot t of progress on this over the years. I live in the NYC area and I remember Eastern Airlines flight 66 which crashed on approach to JFK in the 1970s due to wind shear. I was wondering what instrumentation the tower has to warn about wind shear. If I remember it right, a plane just before flight 66 had almost crashed, and the Captain tried to warn the tower to change runways. Their answer was that their weather instruments were showing that everything was normal. Thanks for the excellent videos!

What is your into song, I'm in love with it

A great video as always, keep up the good work :) Quick question, do you need to ask permission from your airline/captain to take photos/videos in the cockpit? I've seen loads of Instagram profiles of pilots who post photos every day and was just wondering if you can do this without permission, thanks! :)

Hello, my question is about lowering the landing gear. I red on the fcom that flaps 15 and gear down calls happens when you are about to capture the glide slop, or a little earlier. Flying as a cabin crew at the front I can hear the "2500" call from the system and then I feel the landing gears coming down. (I have an older version of the FCOM2) So what is the procedure? and also will you do a video on approach procedure, in therms of speeds at different nautical miles from threshold, flaps lowering and MCP settings? Thank you in advance Lorenzo

Whoah, you’ve gone a long way😮 Still, great video! Learned a lot!

The movie flight by denzel washington is awesome.
