Unmonitored | Scandinavian Airlines System Flight 901

[@Turbodog1000]

This DC-10, now MD-10 is tail number N311FE, it's nick name is "the Salty Dog" it's a great airplane I've maintained it for the last 20 years at Fedex.

[@theMaliman]

How much of it is from the original aircraft, would you suppose?

[@Jonathan11225]

is it still in service ???

[@alan6832]

Do you actually find salt or evidence of saltwater corrosion during maintenance? Do you use added anti-corrosion procedures?

[@BlueAcidball]

John 1122 Why yes, it is still in service, as its latest Flight was on the 5th of March, 2019. Scheduled Time of departure was 8:30 AM local time, Actual Time of Departure was 8:20 AM, Scheduled Time of Arrival was 9:29 AM, and Actual Time of Arrival was 9:08 AM.

[@sadiqjohnny77]

When I converted to the DC 10-10, our pilots praised the auto systems to the skies. It was like a spaceship after flying the 707. They loved to keep the auto throttle on for landing, which maintained speed and closed automatically at 30 ft above the runway when landing. I NEVER used the auto throttle for landing . I always felt that any failure, so near to the ground would be hard to detect and rectify. In two years I was Chief Pilot Standards for the DC-10. This accident happened around that time and I issued instructions that the A/T could not be used for landing (except in the case of a full autoland in fog --and then speeds must be closely monitored. ) A pilot, from his/her earliest days in training was taught that monitoring the airspeed on approach was a good way to stay alive. Letting the autos fly YOU instead of the other way around has caused a number of recent accidents. Autos are useful but a pilot, by the very description, should be able to fly the plane manually on line --if it is required. I was also Chief on the 747 and never used the A/T for landing on that type as well. 7500 hours in command on the 747---and ALWAYS monitored the airspeed!!!

[@BlaneAbbiction]

As of May 6th, the aircraft has been retired, with its last flight last March 26th from Austin to Memphis as FX621.

[@chargerfan2]

I've flown on SAS from the States to Europe quite a few times. One of the most memorable trips was when I was around 11 back in 1980. We took a SAS flight on a 747 from LAX to Copenhagen. We then switched planes and took a DC8 from Copenhagen to Oslo. Talk about cramped after being on a 747. Always had a good experience flying SAS though.

[@austindarrenor]

I got that beat, lol. I was four yrs old with my family we took an SAS flight from LAX to Copenhagen on a Douglas DC-7. Four piston engine props 😆🤩😛 The yr was 1960. Still have vivid memories of the flight.

[@TawanMomo]

Coincidentally, while I'm watching this video, the plane in this video just took off from Orlando bound for Memphis as FX830

[@ivanabcdefg9375]

Did it land? They should never have put this a/c back into service knowing of its faulty hydrosolator and record.

[@pickles3128]

Is there a reason why they did not or could not conduct a go-round, knowing the length of the runway? I know the primary cause was pilot error but the NTSB did not cite the choice to not abort the landing altogether as an obvious cause. Is it just too hard to gauge the length of remaining usable runway in such poor visibility until it is too late?

[@frankblangeard8865]

You would think that a combined flying time of 29000 hours would mean competence in the flight crew. Not necessarily.

[@Mardasee]

I like non fatality crashes. Feel sorry for the aircraft though....and the pilot's jobs.

[@wildgurgs3614]

IKR I cheered at 4:19. As for the plane - when it comes down to it, it's just a big pile of machinery. Now the pilots I think will be able to find work elsewhere. Maybe or maybe not as pilots, but somewhere. And that's assuming they got fired at all - it's entirely possible that they just had to go through more training to strengthen their abilities regarding coordination and landing in bad weather. I cite Mentour Pilot's video about what if pilots make a mistake to reinforce my notion of the pilots not being fired.

[@thejupitergod5687]

I mean part of it isn’t human failure, he trusted the system to the point where it failed him, pushing the engine to 84% throttle from where they managed to disconnect it and throttle down, imagine them trying to takeoff after that, they would had definitely had a worse time in that situation. Honestly he choose a path that reduced damage and casualties after a hard landing situation.

[@sailorchef11]

[@cannedheat300]

Hopefully, you only make that mistake once; thankfully, everyone lived to tell about it. Both pilots showed poor judgment in (1) deciding to land under dubious weather conditions and (2) not doing a missed approach when they knew they were too high and fast. Don't need to be a pilot to see that they weren't set up right.

[@jeremypearson6852]

This is a tough one, the crew had to deal with awful weather and were expected to monitor faulty equipment at the same time. They didn’t exactly have the cards stacked n their favor.

Hey fellow commenters, I have seen the ending (about donating) but haven’t really paid attention to it. It’s just sort of “there”. But I finally thought about how much I enjoy these vids, and went to the patreon site. This looks like a hard working young man, and right now he’s getting about $480 bucks a month off of this, and seems like he is really using the money for good stuff too. Let’s all pledge a few bucks ... come on... even the $1.00 a month pledge would be awesome for this young man, and I know I sure get a $1.00 month EASILY out of this. A lot of us probably think he’s making bank off of this ... but he’s not. I know NOTHING about him other than what I read on his patreon account. I’m not a “friend” shilling for him, I don’t know him... I don’t know his family... and unless I’m six degrees away from him and Kevin Bacon, I don’t know anyone who knows him.... but I suspect that if you go to his account you will think like I do, and see a hard working young man with some talent who provides us with some good quality enjoyment, and hopefully you will kick in a few bucks... I’m gonna finish my coffee, and post this on some of his other videos too and try to kickstart some interest here, and then drop him some bucks myself. (I’d already have done that, but it would require me to get off the couch and find my wallet lol... but I swear I’m gonna pledge today!! Seriously.). Help me to help him.... repost this, or your own comments, on his other vids and let’s get him motivated to continue his efforts for us.

[@aflacduckquack]

I don't know much about go-around procedures, but was this option never even considered? Especially as the aircraft was floating down the runway at high speed for a long distance. Perhaps the individual crew members were too proud to admit defeat, and didn't want to lose face with their colleagues.

Why not do a go-around, ample speed and time? If you know the history of the auto-thrust malfunctions, just don't rely on it. A basic private pilot can land without all that automation, even in IFR (IMC) conditions. Glide slope ILS is all you really need.

Too high and/or too fast seems to cause many landing accidents, yet I (knowing nothing about aircraft) would think these are two factors that are easy to monitor, and when either isn't right, go around. I consider it common sense.
