Airbus A350 SIMULATOR - Dual Engine Failure at Cruise Level (ENG sub)

Pretty much the worst case scenario - both engines flame out at cruising level. Watch as these two experieced captains deal with the situation and bring the aircraft down safely. Extrodinary focus, concentration, and adherance to SOP. This is for you KZbin commenters who think a pilot is basically an obscelete computer programmer. Think again!

Right, wouldn’t it be better to burn some fuel before landing? That’s my doubt here.

[@pierre-olivierdebrogniez2155]

@@tachacastilho First ECAM action states LAND ASAP. Due to the fact that you can't clearly assess the reason of the dual engine failure (eg: fuel contamination), it might happen again while you're jettisoning to reduce weight. If times permits, overweight checklist has to be run but any weight above max landing weight won't restrict you to land. Just a much needed maintenance will be required for the engines and the overweight landing after an exciting day at work!

[@tachacastilho]

@@pierre-olivierdebrogniez2155 That’s true! Maybe I got confused with a SINGLE ENG failure...but yes, landing ASAP should always be applied in this case. Thanks for the enlightenment! Safe flights.

[@DesmolightDesmo]

They didn’t, this was a test for instructors, making sure they know their shit. Often days the pilots don’t know if they will get a emergency, they changed it since sully.

[@IroAppe]

They always know exactly where they land, since they discuss diverting airports along the whole route on briefing before the flight. So in case of an emergency, they immediately have their site to land for each point along the route. Of course it also depends on the immediate conditions.

[@tomstravels520]

"Pretty much the worst case scenario - both engines flame out at cruising level." Captain Sully : "hold my beer..."

[@Sarah.Riedel]

I'm a little surprised the checklist didn't direct them to put on supplemental O2 masks immediately as like the first line item?

[@sunnyyan1080]

Since it's just an engine flameout, there's probably still a few minutes before the cabin altitude hits a dangerous level.

[@Sarah.Riedel]

@@sunnyyan1080 I was under the impression most airlines changed their checklists so that putting on your mask is the first step after the South Dakota "ghost flight" Learjet incident in the late '90s, it was found that the pilots had waited too long to deploy their masks and had gone hypoxic leading to the crash and the deaths of everyone aboard. Even after just 30 seconds in reduced oxygen you can be seriously cognitively impaired.

[@tomstravels520]

Sarah Riedel that was because the cabin altitude rose with the aircrafts altitude and exceeded 10,000ft because it wasn’t pressurised in the first place. In this scenario the cabin would be pressurised at 6000ft. When the engines failed the cabin altitude would slowly rise but not excessively so they’d have a few minutes until the cabin altitude reached 10,000ft

Right seat had a gap in the visor of his O2 mask. Had he been under smoke he he would be in big trouble.

[@MandoMonge]

Great for CRM training and the crew at the back know what happens in the flight deck and how busy they get when something happens BUT… The passenger masks were not released until minutes after the pilots, there was no call to the purser to secure the cabin, not even an “emergency descent, emergency descent” PA so I can assure you there could still be carts in the middle of the cabin. CRM goes both ways, not only between pilots, but also how things are in the back and that your crew might need more time than you to prepare everything for landing/ditching. I often have to explain 3 times how to buckle the seatbelts to my passengers

[@tomstravels520]

If engines fail the aircraft does not depressurise immediately. The outflow valve closes trapping the air inside so it leaks out more slowly. Masks for crew is just precaution, they could wait for bit longer but the cabin altitude warning would disrupt the flow of the engine restart attempt.

[@danieljamesgonzaga5653]

Very Very VERY Realistic. I thought this was a real. Just WOW.

[@futilityroom]

Why is the instruction to use the oxygen masks not first on the list?

[@Brooks__EU]

I think in that case there would still be enough oxygen in the cabin to do the other stuff beforehand

[@zbx1425]

I think because dual engine flameout only cuts the source of air bleed, so since this is not rapid depressurization, there is still quite a few minutes before the air pressure drop to a dangerous level. Therefore some more important things can be done before oxygen mask.

[@futilityroom]

@@zbx1425 Ah, that would explain it. 👍

[@cabc74]

I wanted them to land with no engines at all! The engine coming back was anticlimatic. Of course if I were up there I would pray for the engines to restart, but this was a simulator.

[@adamaleman3487]

I wonder how this scenario would be from a passengers point of view. The pilots did not inform about anything as far as I could understand. Would just the "fasten seatbelts" signs go on and oxygen masks fall out and the flight attendants would say something generic like "technical issues, please stay calm" until they have landed?

[@AutoFirePad]

Worst case scenario. It is a happy little coincidence to have Orly to land without engines.

[@SirKober]

Would not say so. Worst case is an uncontrolled fire on board. Flying in Europe you will always have enough places to land if you find yourself without any engine at cruise level.

[@dianagaudreau9161]

My only concern with the procedure is why do the pilots put oxygen masks on when they come near the middle/bottom of the checklist? Shouldn't it be the first thing the pilots should do before assessing an emergency situation when losing both engines? Just wondering....

[@sneakytom7416]

My thoughts would be there is enough oxygen in the cockpit to for the pilots to assess for a few minutes what's going on. Overtime, the oxygen supply would be depleted but the pilots will already put on the gas masks. So yeah I could be wrong here.

[@butstough]

@ncsakany loss of engines --> loss of compressor bleed air --> loss of cabin pressure. however it might take some time for the remainder of the pressure to leak out.

[@HouseGurke]

Italian ATC: We are checking, we are checking

[@aviationkid1286]

What if the engine did not restart at all.? It would have been interesting to see that procedure as well.

[@hanspeterx]

this is why i still would prefer a 4 engine Aircraft, and not an ETOPS 2 engine Airplane for Atlantic Crossing. YES i know that the Charles Lindberg´s Spirit of St Louis had Single Engine, Powered by a Wright Whirlwind J-5C 223-hp radial engine from 1923 (!)

[@tomstravels520]

4 engines planes have also suffered from all engine flameout due to volcanic debris and fuel starvation. So why is it actually safer? Having 4 engines means are twice as likely to have an engine fail than a twin engined plane

[@peteconrad2077]

The evidence categorically shows that more engines is no defence whatsoever.

[@MrAshleyR]

Does the central display automatically display relevant checklists? Brilliant.

[@AviationHubOfficial]

Yeah it's whatever a pilot is talking about when they mention an "ECAM" (Electronic centralised aircraft monitor) - it's an Airbus thing. Boeing has a similar display, but the Airbus is more focused on what the pilot needs to know, right then. For example it greatly simplifies the takeoff and landing preparation, as the ECAM will show blue text for items not prepared, so a checklist you will often hear "Landing checklist, ECAM - 'Landing', no blue"

[@tomstravels520]

By the looks of it the aircraft will attempt an automatic relight even without the Start switch in the IGN position

[@darkstar795]

Shouldn't oxygen masks be first on checklist if cabin is depressurized..

[@tomstravels520]

DarkStar it doesn’t depressurise immediately after engine shutdown. There is air in the cabin and it takes a few minutes for it to all go out the outflow valve. The cabin altitude is much lower than on San older aircraft so they have longer too. Only when the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000ft do they need it

[@gong9901]

Shouldn't the O2 mask the first step?

[@tomstravels520]

Not for dual engine failure. When the engines fail the outflow valve will close to slow the rate of cabin air leaking out. It’s only when the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000ft that you’d would make it an immediate priority

[@hewhohasnoidentity4377]

Title says cruise level, crew says 10,000 feet. From actual cruise of 35-40k they could easily glide to an runway in either the North America or Europe. Also, the simulation had a successful restart so really not a challenge

[@tomstravels520]

They are descending to 10,000ft from cruise level. The SAT is -52. You won't get that at 10,000ft apart from maybe polar regions or northern Siberia.

[@peteconrad2077]

From 35000ft you can glide about 90 miles.

[@jasonzeng5625]

Exactly which systems does RAT power? does it include ice detection probes?

[@tomstravels520]

Depends on the Aircraft and how it’s electrical system is configured. On the A350 i believe it powers the AC EMERGENCY BUS 1+2 so any or most systems connected to these will receive power

[@BlankedEye]

me during Zoom call 1:41

[@rohwerfamily]

I have a question. They had no 1 restart then did a right turn towards the bad engine. Would not have been better to turn left?

[@beamerino]

Yeah, you're supposed to turn into the good engine, since the good engine is producing more lift on that side. I think the tester said "right or left turn, your choice" to see if he would make the right decision, and he didn't lol

[@aceofspades2711]

They were in a descent with idle power, because they were about 5000ft too high (FL150 and 30 miles out) and had to lose altitude urgently. With the engine running at idle power it doesn’t matter which way you turn. Anyway, this is an A350 and not a DC3, so the autopilot is well capable of handling a turn over the dead engine. Anyways - more of a prop, than a jet concern.

[@THYB737]

Beams he made the right decision because it makes more sense to turn right if theres thrust on left engine because the asymmetric thrust will support the turn.

[@beamerino]

@@THYB737 Wrong. You want the asym thrust on the low side of the turn; high wing is turning at a higher rate of speed, meaning more lift even without a running engine.

[@Manaril]

Fantastic

[@palonazo]

Would have loved to see a no relight

[@CK61380]

Ok now try it when there isn’t a runway conveniently close

[@rykehuss3435]

ETOPS. A runway is always conveniently close. And even with ETOPS, a dual engine failure at cruise level usually means they wouldnt make it. The only reason they made it cuz they got the second engine back on.

[@snuggles03]

Good job

[@aljack1979]

Aren't the pilot's meant to put oxygen masks on one at a time? One pilot monitors flight whilst the other puts their oxygen mask on, then vice versa?

[@13rdp]

No, the priority is put the mask on, and establish communications. You're input makes sense, but the priority is to protect the crew, then to fly.

[@tomstravels520]

The plane won’t depressurise immediately. You have time to carry out other tasks before donning oxygen masks

[@fernandosalas8589]

Iam having problems with physics no thrust, no forward motion aircraft overweight it should go down not immediately but sooner or later the plane will give in to gravity for lack of forward thrust 🤔. I can see the space shuttle doing that but it's smaller.

Wasay Sabri because the plane becomes a very heavy glider. They are descending to maintain speed and maintain lift over the wings

[@KingMoronProductions]

The first thing they did was get on the radio to speak to ATC, would it not be wise to tackle the immediate issue first, then communicate once you've got a bit of a handle on things? I'm just an average person that doesn't know how things should be done though, haha.

[@tomstravels520]

First thing they did was get the plane in a descent to maintain speed at green dot, so they flew the plane (autopilot is still on) then they had no reason to suddenly change heading or anything so they have now done the navigate part (and would get obstructions from ATC)
