Terrorist Breaks Into Cockpit - 7500 | Hollywood vs Reality

Amazon Original's produced an aviation movie, 7500, and recently I have received a lot of requests on doing a Hollywood vs Reality on it. It is staring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the first officer of an aircraft that gets hijacked.

[@skyhawk_4526]

Nothing like a of couple airline pilots getting into a comment pissing contest about checklists and procedures. Turns out you both might be right. As you would both know, individual airlines develop their own company specific checklists and procedures that can vary from one airline to the next so long as it's not something that goes against the manufacturer's recommendations or the regulations. Anyone who flies enough as passenger on different airlines can detect some of these variations. (Granted, I'm only a GA flier, but even in the GA world, different instructors will teach different procedures and parameters in certain areas even when it's the same type of plane. (As long as it's safe and it doesn't go against the regulations or the manufacturer's guidance, it's fine.) For instance, I was always taught to do short field takeoffs in a Cessna 172 with flaps up. Other pilots I know were taught to do a short field takeoff in the same plane with flaps 10. There are different schools of thought for each of these, and it doesn't automatically mean one is wrong and the other is right. The POH for the plane says it can be done either flaps 0 or flaps 10. In some circumstances, flaps 10 might be more appropriate, but in others, no flaps might be more appropriate. There is often more than one right way to something. Another GA example is whether to fly final approach in a "crab" and correct prior to the flare, or to fly all of final approach in a "slip" right down to the landing. Again, neither is exclusively right or exclusively wrong. As the (rather disturbing) saying goes: there's more than one way to skin a cat.

I just finished watching this. Honestly, the amount of bad reviews this movie gets is pretty surprising to me. It's probably one of the most accurate dramatizations of a hostage/hijack situation ever made. Not to mention the aviation aspects are exceptional, at least for a Hollywood movie. There are some "mistakes" made, but I think those are intentional in order to facilitate the plot. People seem to criticize the move for the behavior of the main character, but in reality, normal people do not always make the most optimal or rational decisions in such a situation. The tension and claustrophobic feel of being in the cockpit the entire time elevates this movie above others in the genre.

It's based on fuel on board less trip, alternate and final reserve. In terms of baggage loading. At my airline, bags are loaded loose but I know at the likes of British Airways and a few others, they use ULD's on their 320's

[@jakubedr]

@@CMDRSweeper Airbus is much more practical than 737 for cargo: bigger door, which is opening outside, not inside. And even in A319 you can fit ULDs. I guess it has 2 positions in the front and 2 or 3 in the rear. For example TAP A319 flyes in this configuration. In one AKH you can fit about 25 bags.

[@Cookie1994UK]

Overall, the 319/320 is a slightly larger plane than the 737 with a slightly larger diameter fuselage and greater ground clearance. I know the 737 was designed with remote operations in mind, so it is possible to load the bags without a loader. The 320 family though, the floor of the hold is already just above head height. In terms of hold doors, they open outwards and are massive. I've had to use the manual hydraulic pump to open them before now and it takes a lot of effort. I believe the A318 (Babybus) is the only one that can't take a ULD as the door is smaller

By sacrificing the mother to save the aircraft he ensured that, that toddler wasn’t orphaned completely that day.

Before 9/11 hijackings always resulted in a ransom demand. Like with a robbery incident at a store, the crew was told to give them whatever they wanted and not provoke violence. Insurance will pay for everything, not worth risking your lives or passenger lives. There was even a case where a pilot had been involved in multiple hijackings during his career. Then came 9/11 and everything changed. These days, in at least the US but probably are large amount of the world, if anyone attempted to storm the cockpit the cabin would revolt and fight back.

[@CyberLillix]

For anyone curious I worked as a cabin crew and one of the procedures we did whenever we needed to get into the cockpit is to have always another cabin crew member with you guarding the cockpit door facing towards the passengers while the other crew member one enters the cockpit. The guard will generally keep waiting there (unless they warn the other they will take longer in which case they phone to let you know when they need to get out) till the other crew member beeps to come out.

[@deew7014]

I just flew the other day and observed exactly what you are talking about , one of the pilots was using the restroom and one flight attendant stood in front of the door watching the passenger cabin until he was finished.

Hey Kelsie, I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your video series on the Hollywood vs reality movies. I have one to recommend you should do, its called Turbulence. 747 gets taken over by a prisoner on board and the flight attendant ends up at the controls. Some of the sequences are pretty accurate as far as her programming the flight computers to set up for the autoland. The big goof here is the plane is a -200 model in the movie, but the cockpit and capabilities of the plane are all from the -400. I think it would make a good one.

I hope you enjoyed it! re: the scene you discuss @ 17:00 you are correct it is Hollywood, and here's why: They are cramming a lot of "info dump" into these first scenes. What they were doing in that scene is introducing that switch that allows them to see thru the camera who is at the door, and that they can open it with that switch. This is because (obvious spoilers) it will come into play a bit during the story. Could they have chosen a better, more _realistic_ appropriate time? Yeah, but in Movies they always compress as much as they can get away with so they can get into the action faster (and they've already spent a lot of time setting up our characters).

@74 Gear Love your channel and so glad you did a quick vid on this amazing movie. As a C-5 pilot, I was incredibly impressed with the correct terminology & actions in this film. TOLD / departure briefs, taxi intentions, correct terminology in the air and actually setting in real values into the A/P, & even a “continue” call when he approaches mins. One of the best Hollywood aviation’s films I’ve seen. Cheers!

Have you ever considered talking about the the attempted take over of a Fed EX cargo plane by a disgruntled employee, or is that something cargo pilots don't talk about.

[@The-Rose-and-the-Cross]

I think it's a subject that pilots wouldn't/can't talk about in general, unlawful interference of flying duties. So if it ever happens, I guess it'd be only because that one happened back in the 90s, before the current safety protocols were implemented.

Yeah I always think it's weird that people are surprised how social and relaxed pilots are. I think so many people expect what we do to be so stressful or difficult, when in reality it's the total opposite. I'm a pretty even-tempered person, but I feel safest and most relaxed when I'm in the air. Like my entire being, mentally and physically is at ease the second we get off the ground. That's not to say that from engine start to take off isn't flying because it is. I just get the most peace from being off the ground. My CFI and I are little chatterboxes so when we're just cruising we have some great conversations. It's funny, we've only flown 9 hours together and know a lot about each other already.

[@Egobyte83]

You should do Langoliers. Even though it is a horror(ish) movie, that Lockheed L1011 Tristar takes up more than half of the plot and there is a lot of ATC lingo and aviation concepts to go around. :)

[@robertgottwald5682]

In Germany and most of Europe A320s and other similar aircraft are commonly operated with containers (usually AKHs) for baggage. The A320 family has a cargo loading system which makes this quite effective. Only some baggage is then carried in the bulk, most is in containers. It actually enables finding baggage more easily and quickly, as with the modern baggage tracking systems each bag is tracked and you know which bag is in which container on which cargo compartment/hold position.

As a former QANTAS Baggage handler I can confirm that both the A320 and A319 used AKH ULDs (containers). We also handled Air New Zealand's aircraft when I worked at Brisbane International. I can also say it is most frustrating to have to find a missing passenger's luggage.

It's a great film - just watched it after watching this. Timescales seem a bit weird though, as the diversion seemed to take forever in order to allow the onboard action to take place. There would have been dozens of viable alternates within 10 mins. Other than that, it was smack on. I loved it when the pilot reverted to his training and started reciting flows and checklists.

[@speed150mph]

Just saw this movie for the first time. And I had to say the beginning had me impressed. Granted I’m not a pilot, I’m a flight simmer. But I just started flying the A320 in my sim and just finished reading the FCOM and FCTM for the type (yes I go hardcore) so from the airbus procedures, it’s spot on down to the details, such as talking about the flex temperature and the 100 kt callout at takeoff since on the A320 family 100 knots is where you enter the high speed rejection regime. It started to go downhill as the movie progressed but still.

[@mj_badmus]

The Captain in the movie is a real world pilot, once I started watching the movie and noticed the Captain’s mannerisms and even the way he sat in his chair was very pilot like, so I wasn’t surprised when I discovered he was a real life pilot

I worked in crew scheduling once and I saw an extreme example of a relationship between a pilot and a flight attendant. It came back to us that it was an abusive relationship. We found out while they were overseas on the same crew and the hotel called us. It's been over ten years since it happened, so the details have gotten fuzzy, but for some reason the police there wouldn't do anything. We tried to change her schedule to a different crew for the return flight, but the pilot answered her hotel phone and wouldn't allow it. I've never felt more helpless and angry at the same time. It didn't end well for him, once they were back home.

[@kaustin9364]

Non-aviator here, but I love watching your videos. I'm an enthusiast of big cats, and I recall long ago a story told in the 60s about a cargo plane carrying a lion that got out of its travel crate and broke into the cockpit. Not exactly a terrorist problem, but still, you can image the trouble the lion could have cause by bumping into various controls such as the thrust levers. They managed to land the plane and the crew got out through the cockpit windows.

[@lihan1544]

Before my husband (A320 and A321 FO in Australia) moved to a large, commercial airline, the smaller airline he worked for for many many years refused to pay for electronic Jepps, so the image of the Jepperson's manual hit me like a tonne of bricks - which is about what they weigh anyway! 😂The weekly (if not more often) chart updates were a real hoot, not to mention the hunchback one develops after having to lug them around!

I was once flying from Los Angeles to Denver sitting in the second row of an A319 when I noticed the flight attendants park the beverage cart in the aisle while one of the pilots came out to use the restroom. I guess that is one of the techniques they use to prevent a cockpit breach. Also, after the Germanwings incident, most countries now require at least two people in the cockpit at all times.
