Most of them are like that. RMS Titanic was travelling at 11 m/s (22 knots) and the impact sequence ended with a 10 m gash, opening Boiler Room 6 and 5. This was the fatal damage. Compartments 1-4 where flooding, compartments 5 and 6 (from the bow) aka Boiler Room 6 and 5 where opened up in the last second of the impact sequence. After that Murdoch got the stern to swing out of the way and no more damage was done. Boiler Room 6 had one small leak besides that 10 m gash. However that was well within the capability of the pumps which could do 600 t per hour if I remember. Certainly she would have floated long enough for Carpathia to dock alongside and take everyone aboard and run lines from her pumps down into BR 6 and 5. Then wait for daylight and draw straws on who gets to be lowered down to stuff cloth into the holes and plug them up enough to pump the compartments dry, repair the damage with some big wood planks and sail into Halifax for slightly more permanent repairs and back to Belfast into the drydock. More or less what Olympic had done a year earlier after colliding with a large warship. Of course Titanic had to donate her starboard propeller shaft to her older sis and so Titanic was delayed several months as Harland and Wolf made a new shaft and so Titanic set sail on April 10. Still due to miss the iceberg. However due to ice warnings course was altered South putting them on a direct collision course with the iceberg. Had they actually ignored the warnings they would have been safe. Titanic was a fantastic design and the long career of her sister Olympic proved that. Just very very unlucky. Oh and SS Californian was less than an hour away. Surrounded by ice and stopped for the night. They didn't have 24 h radio so the radioman went to sleep at 1130 PM. Titanic sent out the first SOS 15 minutes later. The set was still on but he had taken off the headphones. Of course they saw the rockets and they saw a giant liner suddenly stop, begin to list and then dissappear with some flashes occasionally that could be a morse lamp but was figured to be a masthead light. No one bothered to wake the radioman so Titanic sank 10 miles from a liner perfectly capable of holding 2000 people. Lusitania was similar so many coincidences led to the ship being vulnerable. On course and speed no chance but just as U-20 was about to give up Lucy slowed down and turned right towards them to go looking for a lighthouse in the fog. So instead of going 21 knots, still slow for Lucy, way to fast for a U-Boat. It was one of the holes in the slices of Emmentaler.

The simulator is a fantastic learning device, but most accidents I feel can be attributed to overload stress and crew resource management. Basic communication between crew members is absolutely essential. If something is wrong, mention it. And a good captain uses his resources and listens. Inexperience does not always equal a wrong answer. Thank you for your videos. They are second to none and a vital resource for any current or future pilot!

@@listigt Our training is rigorous, thorough and safety orientated and that shows in the thousands upon thousands of flights that take off and land safely each day. In the years I’ve been an international pilot, I’ve never found myself in a situation that I couldn’t control, and that’s all thanks to our strict training and refresher programs. However, incidents like these are extremely uncommon. It’s easy to become complacent which is why videos like this are so important to our ongoing awareness. We learn from our mistakes which is what has made air travel the safest form of transportation, and if every pilot has an open mind and is willing to learn on a constant basis, then videos like these are essential to that growth. It has nothing to do with poor safety and training standards. It’s just another tool pilots can study and analyze to ensure we continue to expand our knowledge bases by making sure we learn from past mistakes. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, and any good, professional pilot will happily spend his or her free time becoming masters of their craft.

@gergelyvarju6679 11 ай бұрын

The "Swiss cheese modell" is essentially the same thing (from a different perspective) as defense in depth. Once you learn that trying to improve security / safety in one area to prevent more and more problems wouldn't be feasible. But if you have multiple layers of defense and you need multiple independent events (failures) to face unwanted consequences, then your chances would improve much. If the failures should be "aligned" in some way (another "independent" event with a low probability) the chances of a catastrophic failure would be even lower. It is used by militaries, nuclear engineering, aviation, civil engineering, IT, etc. The big problem is: Often we assume that even if we give up a few lines of defense we would be still safe enough, but once we gave up too many lines of our defense a "few extra problems" can lead to catastrophic consequences. It happens almost everywhere. When whole slices of the Swiss cheese are missing, you don't see the missing pieces of cheese, and you won't treat the whole big missing part of it as a giant hole, you won't see that as some alarming incident.

@@mortgageapprovals8933 Overall, commercial aviation is still the safest form of transport, so let's not throw a running system out of the window to try something totally new. But I honestly think that there is still too high of a mental load involved in operating a commercial airliner. Humans really excell as predictive, real-time controllers, withhin our limits. So, any system relying on our control has to assure either by design or by computer augumentation, that it stays within those limits. The most fundamental real-time criterion is the deadline. If the delay between input and control output is below the deadline, the control loop is closed. The more time reserve, the more reserve there is for some additional workload. However, once the delay is close to, or at the deadline, there is no reserve left. Once that happens, the control loop is open, the controller is not able to respond to the input, but will rather act undefined. "Staying in front of" or "Getting behind of" the aircraft are, at least in some sense, directly related to this real-time criterion. Once you are over the deadline, you are getting "behind". Control of a modern airliner should be further abstracted away to the bare basics (advanced avionics with very simple UI, which should still exercise the "stick-and-rudder-skills") to limit, or even better, manage mental load. Â HUD may not just display graphical elements, put on some lightweight, ~2030 AR glasses with a full FOV, and you have beautiful VFR conditions with overlayed atmospheric information with the worst IMC outside. While we don't want the pilots to be overwhelmed, they also shouldn't get bored. Let the pilots be skilled aviators, let the avionics do most of the rest, and let the system experts tune in via broadband LEO satellite link from a proper control room with full diagnostic access if issues of any sort are detected.

The pilot monitoring 1st officer certainly had good skills in flying and he might have been able to recover the aircraft out of the horrible status, caused by his captain.

A very sad, unfortunate situation. However, there is one glaring omission. My partner flew as a Purser with Flydubai for 9 years and during that time, senior management also played a huge part in the decision-making process with respect to flying choices. It was well known amongst the flight deck community, that said management would not suggest, rather demand that no diversions would take place, unless 100% unavoidable. They were more concerned over saving money and not having to deal with the subsequent consequences of a diversion, which you so clearly highlighted. In fact, strong rumours suggested that management threatened the captain that his future employment was at stake, if he chose to divert. Money over safety.

Snr management contacted all the crew saying that they were strictly forbidden to contact their family/partners etc over what they had just experienced and that their mobile devices would be monitored for any such activity.

It seems like everything was ok until he called out flaps at the beginning of the second go-around which confused the pilot.

The whole thing is absolutely terrifying though. Such a simple mistake can end in such horrific tragedy.

I think the HUD actually harmed both pilots' situational awareness since the UI of the normal controls and the HUD are substantially different, and on top of that the first officer probably felt it best to rely on the captain's HUD since there's an assumption that it would allow him to fly better in a tough situation than the first officer could.

If only they had ignored the very first windshear warning and landed then it would have been fine. That first windshear warning was predictive, so they did not actually need to respond to it. It usually means that the windshear is a few miles ahead, possibly after the runway, and therefore go around is actually more hazardous than landing. Always brief that if you get a predictive windshear warning you do not take action until you have considered the evidence yourself.

The intro of this video was quite intense and i like it. I heard about the FlyDubai 981 accident from a well known aviation documentary show a year ago. After watching this video, it really reminding me and understand how powerful spatial disorientation can be in aviation because it is one of the most common factor on some aviation accidents. Yes, I know somatogravic illusion a year ago from your Armavia Flight 967 video. I think this video is also one of my favorite now and i love it.

@kennethlee4894 11 ай бұрын

How utterly horrifying. It reminds me a little of AF 447. In that accident, one pilot was pushing the yoke down, the other one pulling it up. It is really something, the crash was relatively quite recent. It still means that accidents can happen.

@stefansekulic7903 11 ай бұрын

Yes,but the pilots of AF447 had more time to figure out what was going on and recover, these pilots were coerced by the company to fly a holding pattern for over two hours instead of just diverting. Fatigue played a big part in this accident and I think the captain was planning on leaving Flydubai because of the working conditions.

it is extremely disconcerting how a pilot can be disorientated so quickly. Understandably this also confirms the different attitudes in control systems by Boing and Airbus, as Airbus wishes to make flying safer by more automation and Boing on the other hand believes the pilot has final input. It would be interesting to fly a simulator with these exact conditions using , for instance, an airbus A320 to find out if the automation protections would have kicked in and saved the aircraft. Extremely sad how such a professional crew were overcome by circumstances which eventually caused the wrong decisions to be made causing the aircraft to crash.

@Keestral 11 ай бұрын

Both philosophies have their pros and cons but the ability to change the priority and even lock out the other pilot controls would have been useful here.

@mikoto7693 11 ай бұрын

That’s why neither is truly superior. Accidents happen with both types of aircraft that wouldn’t happen in the other.

@MarcusWeinreich 11 ай бұрын

Accepted but we are discussing this particular incident and my question was under these circumstances would the different philosophies have made a difference. I believe that automation may be more dangerous than human error because the failure of a component may cause incorrect data which may contribute towards a catastrophe, therefore any automation should always be observed and corrected by human oversight!

@mikoto7693 11 ай бұрын

@@MarcusWeinreich The irony is that in this particular accident, if the FO had been more assertive and decided to take the controls by force then he had an option that no Boeing pilot could ever have. The “pilot priority” button located on the Airbus side stick that’s the equivalent of the yoke/control column. With one button press and hold the FO could have locked the confused captain out of the controls and flown the aircraft to safety. Pressing and holding the button causes the Airbus to ignore all input made by the other pilot, in this case the captain. Of course the Airbus verbally announces this “right side priority” but short of physically assaulting the FO there’s nothing the captain could do. Instead of literally fighting the captain for control of the yoke since they’re linked, he could have just taken control. In a Boeing if the captain was pushing nose down and the FO is pulling nose up, whoever is physically stronger “wins” though as we see in this accident, nobody won. The additional irony is that Airbus also have a “flight envelope protection system” which means that up until the upset flight became too extreme, the captain could have simply let go of the controls and the Airbus would have automatically corrected and stabilised itself. And unless the autopilot was acting in a degraded mode, it wouldn’t have let the captain put any dangerous control movements to begin with. I sound like a total Airbus fan girl in this comment but it’s just how the automation and flight philosophy would have worked in this particular accident. There are of course other crashes which wouldn’t have happened to a Boeing. Like I said, neither are truly superior and like you, I believe the human pilot should have the final say over the computer. The human pilot should always have the option to disable the autopilot and fly manually, but that’s a debate for another day.

@MarcusWeinreich 11 ай бұрын

Strange how you are confirming the exact point I was trying to make, in other words would the Flight Envelope Protection System have prevented the pilot the pilot from making such a catastrophic error? The First Officer's input can , for all intents and purposes, be discounted because this aircraft went from stable flight to unrecoverable in less than a minute and during that time the effects of negative G forces would have made his actions negligible or hardly significant!@@mikoto7693

There is a lot of flying accidents analyzed on the internet/KZbin but your analysis is the best of all, by a very wide margin to the rest. A note: The trim system is designed to prevent a stall on the control surfaces of the elevator, causing the elevator to react unpredictably. Therefore, you must do exactly what you notice: Track the trim to the elevator.

Your delivery, explanation and graphics are impeccable. I’m sure as a pilot you have many feelings and empathy for the lost crew. As long as humans fly planes they’ll always be the possibility of an accident happening. I think pilots work is very under appreciated.

Iv been following since the beginning, and recently started flight school. What went from neat videos to feed my aviation interests, turned into something that Teaches me, and kind of goes along with my flight training. I have been recommending your videos to CFIs and fellow students. I feel like your videos have helped me substantially during my commercial pilot training, in understanding systems, as well as making me think more about little thing that can have a huge affect on a safe flight. Your videos Have definitely made me a safer Pilot, and give me a lot more confidence when i finally make it to the airlines, knowing that most of these incidents are Pilot error. In your last video i heard you say when you get a “Line up and wait” to stay just off center line, and it makes so much sense, i will start doing that. Thanks for all of the videos i definitely need to buy some Mentour Pilot Gear.
