Hong Kong Miracle | Cathay Pacific Flight 780

[@epwadventures]

It's amazing to me the skill some of these pilots have. It's one thing when you are flying a plane that stops working. But when it stops, then starts, then WON'T slow down, and your maintenance crew is telling you "don't sweat it, everything is alright,"...it takes more than good training to get through that. It takes nerves of steel. Great job, crew. And thank you for the upload, Allec.

[@Hallands.]

A cranky flight instructor couldn't have invented more problems to throw at a pilot in a simulator - but this was real! Fantastically good job by the pilots!

[@rrknl5187]

4:30.....Captain Waters disengages the autopilot and flies manually. This is very likely the most intelligent decision that could have possibly been made. This gave them the ability to dead-stick the airplane all the way to the runway if they needed to. I don't know if the autopilot could have done this but any human pilot who stays in practice can easily handle it. Deploying the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) was another exceptionally good idea. This way, even if both engines and the APU failed, they would still have control of the plane.

[@اللهالله-ل7د]

There had to be A LOT of noise inside the plane because of RAT

[@dietmarkluth9442]

Bei mir bleibt folgende Frage: Der Schub von Triebwerk 1 liess sich bis zur Landung zwar nicht mehr herunter zu regeln. Aber die Piloten hätten doch dieses Triebwerk entsprechend kurz vor der Landung elektronisch ganz ausschalten können. Damit wäre die Landegeschwindigkeit drastisch verringert worden.

[@novola1972]

Allec thanks a lot your videos are the best.

[@MIXTAB1]

I watched en episode of AD on this incident… one of the most important actions by the captain was left out in this video. When the captain was adjusting his thrust levers and receiving no response, the plane was getting dangerously slow, so the captain on a sudden brilliant whim decided to ever so slightly and gently push the E1 thrust lever forward. This some how allowed the contaminated fuel to “bypass/ push through” the clog and begin spooling E1’s thrust up to the 74% which without a doubt saved the plane from a stall. Pretty significant detail haha… good on that crew 🤘 superb airmanship✌️ btw, I love this Channel, I’m Not shxtting on Allec, just thought anyone reading the comments might find this part of the story interesting ✌️

[@Gersti96]

The fact that no other plane refuelled at that airport had any similar problems is a miracle, too.

[@maestro-zq8gu]

Thank you for another great video.

[@davidhoffman1278]

Wow! This type of large scale fuel contamination was something that was always worried about when I was in line maintenance. We had daily sampling and testing from our main storage tanks, but that was only for expected potential contaminants. Being at a training base you could potentially end up with dozens of aircraft in the air all having engine problems at the same time.

[@beagle7622]

In the book about QF32 the Captain made the point that an emergency exit is not fun, he made the point that the atmosphere outside was toxic . I have had both legs broken in fairly freakish accidents., probably break 1 at the spot if I had to go down a slide. Cathay’s A330’s are my favourite aircraft as a passenger with both the new & old interiors. They are reasonably quiet and seem to ride bumps pretty well.

[@gwats19577]

Years ago, when I was an aircraft fueler, we used to keep plastic buckets on our fuel carts just in case we needed to bail rain water out of the hydrant pits so water would not next get mixed into the Jet A kerosene when we connected to the fuel hydrant couplers... Now I understand why.......

[@philelmo]

Interesting that this is one of the few times where overshooting the runway or overspeed does not end up in a disaster, well done pilots. Wondering why couldn’t they cut off engine completely and glide in? Also wondering why other flights didn’t get contaminated fuel as well?

What was up with the "to low terrain and pull up" while overspeed.

[@martintheiss743]

an emergency radar system on the under end of the plane felt that due to the fact they were not near an airport they were too close to the water and needed to engage an emergency pull up to avoid crashing.
