Air Force B-52 Crashes Just After TakeOff | Falling Apart Over Guam and Kyrgyzstan

[@Kitt_the_Katt]

The second one I'm wondering exactly how they thought they were going to be refueling a plane with those oscillations going on. As soon as I noticed that they should have turned back to base. They even had an 18 minute window where another plane could have been launched to take that spot, assuming one was fuled up and ready to go.

[@tdkeyes1]

Thinking the same. Probably had get thereitis/complete the mission.

[@gort8203]

The extreme oscillations were induced by mishandling the airplane. If the yaw damper is malfunctioning you turn it off. The plane can fly safely without a yaw damper. Refueling can be accomplish at a lower altitude where the plane's directional stability will be sufficient unless the yaw is aggravated (as the crew did). The airplane's flight manual contains a detailed section on how to deal with dutch roll, and the short version is keep your feet off the rudder pedals and use only lateral control to correct roll oscillations.

[@gort8203]

@@merlin51h84 The crew did not recognize the Dutch Roll, but they should have. Improper use of rudder aggravated it to the point that it couldn't be missed. There was no specific training for Dutch roll, but the pilots should have been familiar with the Dutch Roll recovery procedure contained in Section VI of the Dash One flight manual. This points to insufficient knowledge and expertise on the part of the pilots. I once had to apply that procedure in recovering from dangerous Dutch Roll encountered while penetrating a thunderstorm at 50,000 feet in the dark without main electrical power, and it worked as advertised.

[@321ssteeeeeve]

There was a rudder that broke off out of NY just months after 9•11 on an airbus due to heavy rudder inputs. They hit moderate wake turbulence from a 747 5 NM ahead but the FO was way too zealous in his recovery procedure. Turns out his simulator training provided by the airline for wake turbulence had them recover from a 90° bank requiring appropriate leg day rudder input. So when he finally experienced mild turbulence from an aircraft requiring some back and forth rudder input, he did so to the floor and loads in excess of 200,000 psi (2x that required by manufacturer) ripped off the rudder and the plane crashed in the middle of the suburb. What another sad time it was

[@InlandOne]

Great presentation. I served in a USAF B-52 combat evaluation unit & sadly there were many B-52 losses during non-combat operations. One occurred on 28 Mar 68 where a B-52F disappeared into the Gulf of Mexico with it & its 8 aircrew never found.

The true story is not as said, since training in the KC-135, the Dutch roll is not taught or practiced. As a 7 Level Crew Chief on the KC-135, the Pilot did not follow the -1 in this situation. While performing rudder input, the procedure is to turn off rudder power, then use the rudder pedals to try to control the Dutch Roll with rudder inputs and Aileron inputs. In doing so, his use of the rudder petals with power on, used the 3000 PSI Hydraulic Pressure on the rudder actuator causing the rudder to move quickly left and right causing the Empennage, Vertical stabilizer to break off causing a rapid decompression which caused another section of the fuselage forward to break off sending the plane in a nose dive in (3) sections. Copilot Pickney had less hours flying since she was not flying due to being on Maternity leave prior to this accident. I never personally met her but our children went to high school with her. They will be missed.

[@gort8203]

True there is no flight training for dutch roll, but the KC-135 flight manual contains a detailed section on how to deal with dutch roll, and unless it has changed the short version is keep your feet off the rudder pedals and use only lateral control to correct roll oscillations. Manual use of rudder usually aggravates the situation. The extreme oscillations were indeed induced by mishandling the airplane. If the yaw damper is malfunctioning you turn it off. The plane can fly safely without a yaw damper. Refueling can be accomplish at a lower altitude where the plane's directional stability will be sufficient unless the yaw is aggravated (as the crew did).

The B52 crash seems fairly easy to understand. The rear control system failed. The fact that the crew was ejecting shows they all knew it was very quickly unrecoverable. These B52's are very old but very well maintained but still, there are places where stress goes that can compound failures. The total loss of control of the direction of the jet in an instant is something no pilot ever wants to face. The KC 135 crash ,that jet was acting like it was worn out. Like the airframe lifetime loading had already consumed all of the health in that airframe already. Those tankers put a hell of a lot of stress, every time they are full, on that airframe. The jet was acting like an old truck with a worn out steering system. Wondering all over the sky. The pressure to achieve and complete the mission is high. But at some point, I wished the crew had said. "This bird is sick as hell. We are not dying today, Let's slow her down, gently turn around and land this thing while we still can." Massive respect to all the pilots, crews and maintenance people who keep these jets flying. Rest in peace to those who lost their lives in these tragedies.

[@ronaryel6445]

Thank you for this video. I personally think it is important that military aircraft have the same data and cockpit recorders as civilian aircraft so that investigators can determine as precisely as possible the cause of a mishap. If I am not mistaken, this is now implemented with new aircraft. Retrofits on older aircraft? Second incident: An inexperienced crew, likely not having experienced a dutch roll before, didn't appreciate the danger they were in. I will speculate that a very old aircraft like the KC-135 might also have been more susceptible to fatal cracks. If left alone to fly straight, an aircraft can recover from a Dutch roll by itself, since most aircraft (except for inherently unstable aircraft like the F-117, F-22, F-35 etc.) exhibit positive roll stability. If the aircraft does not recover, the pilot has to use rudder input to counter the Dutch roll and return the aircraft to stable flight prior to initiating turns or rolls. Easy for me to type this on social media; much harder for a pilot to do it properly.

[@gort8203]

Well that requires *a lotttt* more than you think. For one, the system would likely have to be integrated so deeply into the aircraft's software that it would require a FULL redo to get anywhere close to it being functional on a software stand point in a controlled environment. The moment you expose that system to the real world, it'll likely just fail(this is why R&D is SO expensive with planes. you can't research how a plane will operate without it being in real conditions). Next youd need to actually engineer and design what the physical fail safes would be... like how is it gonna actuate the hinges on the control surfaces in a manner that allows it to not fail when the main method of controlling the surfaces does fail? those are only two points out of likely thousands that would have to be addressed to make the plane air-worthy.

Never happened as described. All takeoffs from Guam are to the West, over the ocean. If a Buff disintegrated just after takeoff, which I doubt, debris would have fallen into the ocean. I piloted the Buff out of Guam during the Vietnam conflict so I would know. The oceans prevailing winds forced us to takeoff to the West every time. More... And that was a good thing because the B52G I flew did not have enough power to obtain flying speed by the end of the runway, to get our 488,000-pound beast off the ground even with our water injection. So we, both pilots, had to yank it off and push the nose over and head for the ocean below the cliff just beyond the threshold, to gain airspeed as the flaps came up. Our nav team hated it of course, given that they ejected downwards, and it made the tower nervous when they lost sight of us until our eventual climb out. But we never lost a plane or crew due to that situation as far as I know. BTW, the B52H model that also flew out of Guam, had enough power and had no problem reaching flying speed. And they are the only B52 model still flying.

The yaw damper was malfunctioning and should have been turned off. The plane would not be wobbllng if the pilot had kept his feet off the rudder pedals.

[@scottyreeves8179]

WRONG !!! In a normal aircraft, you use rudder with ailerons for a coordinated turn. The B52 G and H model, had no ailerons, so that's what the law dampers wre for. BUT, they didn't correct for "Dutch Roll".. I don't guess you're a pilot

[@gort8203]

@@scottyreeves8179 This was not a light airplane. In a modern swept wing jet you do not need rudder to coordinate a turn. You use the rudder during takeoff and landing, and asymmetric thrust situations, but otherwise you can keep your feet on the floor. This is true even with the yaw damper inoperative, because there is not much adverse yaw with lateral control input at climb and cruise speeds. The KC-135 in particular relies on differential spoilers and small inboard ailerons for most roll control, as the outboard ailerons are locked out when the flaps are retracted. With little adverse yaw there is little need for coordinating rudder, and the most important function of the yaw damper is preventing Dutch Roll.

[@scottyreeves8179]

@gort8203 alright then. I guess I'll go back to tech school and learn more. After all, I was a crew-chief on the B-52 D model. Thanks for the update ! Happy flying !

[@gort8203]

@@scottyreeves8179 Ah, the B-52 is an interesting airplane with some unusual handling characteristics. After the D model the small ailerons were removed and roll control was entirely by spoilers. Due to the drag of the spoilers, rolling into a turn can cause proverse rather than adverse yaw. On another note, the fact that the elevators were quite small at only 10% of the chord of the stabilizer means that any out of trim condition of the stabilizer will greatly reduce the pilots pitch authority. I have to suspect the B-52 crash in the video could be related to that factor. I'd love to hear about that from a B-52 pilot.

All very inexperienced pilots, it makes you wonder about the ground crews.

thats no b52?

[@vetworker]

Looks like a B52 to me. Get your eyes checked

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

The B52 is the first story on this video, the plane in the second story is a refueling plane, the KC-135R.

You always spend way too much time on the aviators backgrounds and never enough time on the results of the NTSB findings and more importantly any actions taken by the FAA due to the NTSB findings on all of your videos

[@paulu7751]

FAA and NTSB wouldn’t have been involved in either of these accidents as they involved military aircraft

[@jeffies2821]

@ yes I referring to all the videos in general. We need more information about the cause and outcomes and less on the aviators

[@scottyreeves8179]

WRONG !!! The NTSB is for civilian aviation !!

[@Mr38thstreet]

Neither air crews seemed up to the task of flying these complex aircraft. I don't think we got the full explanation of what caused these incidents. The pilots on the flights seemed too inexperienced to handle there respective machines from what I could gather from the video.

[@gort8203]

The KC-135 is not all that complex. The flying skill of the pilots was insufficient to deal with a simple yaw damper malfunction. If the B-52 had a runway stabilizer it is because the airplane is too simple to have sufficient redundancy in that system which would allow the crew to correct the malfunction. Actually the B-52 has a redundant stab trim system similar to most Boeings, so I'm mystified as to why the crew could not stop a runaway and manually trim the airplane.

The plane does not need an elevator it has stairs
