Slam Dunk | United Express Flight 6291

[@gregfaris6959]

As pilots, it is always grilled into us to have enough humility to NEVER say, "I wouldn't have let it happen....." But GEEZ guys!! To completely lose track of your airspeed on final? Every challenge, "Flaps 20" is met with the response "Speed checks". "Gear down", "Speed checks". Glideslope intercept "speed checks". It is the single most important parameter to be continuously monitored on any and every approach - so to just "forget" about it until you get a stickshaker is truly incomprehensible. I have written otherwise in this channel about the dangers of autopilots with vertical profile management but no control over power, which is a pure incongruity, however this is far worse than that. To get to the point where the aircraft is in full stall on short final without either pilot ever thinking to check the airspeed during the entire descent is really unfathomable.

[@WendyKS93]

When the Captain asked Tony "what did you do" I was like "idiot you're suppose to know what he's doing." "You're suppose to be monitoring him." A Captain who is not experienced in that position and with two failures in one year paired with a new First Officer. Recipe for disaster, it's a miracle anyone survived. Thank you for another great video Mr. Allec. Enjoyed this.

I worked for Atlantic Coast Airlines for over a decade. Flying these turboprops throughout the northeastern US was a challenging job but it made you a darn good pilot. Our pilot group back then was nothing short of stellar. Some of the best pilots I’ve ever flown with. However these two pilots were definitely an exception and shouldn’t have been in the cockpit of a Cessna 172 much less a Jetstream 41. It was our only fatality and changed how we did training and hiring. Just a couple years later the airline received a diamond award from the FAA. Sadly Atlantic Coast Airlines filed for bankruptcy in 2006 after ending its relationship with United and rebranding itself as Independence Air.

[@B777Skipper]

I also worked for ACA when this accident happened. Sadly, I still remember the faces of the 3 crew that worked that flight. I flew the J32 at ACA for over 3 years. A bit less complex aircraft then the J41 at the time, but with no autopilot on the J32, your hand flying skills and alertness to your situational awareness were always elevated.

Nothing short of amazing that the family survived that crash with only minor injuries!

[@npxmnpxm]

L.A. TIMES (JAN. 9, 1994): A family of three walked away with only minor injuries from a fiery plane crash that killed the other five people on board, officials said. The British Aerospace Jetstream 41, which can carry 29 passengers, crashed Friday night about half a mile from Port Columbus International Airport, where it was preparing to land after a flight from Washington, D.C. All three crew members and two passengers were killed. The survivors were 5-year-old Yee Sun Lai; her father, Ki Ping Lai, 45; and her mother, Siew Chew Ling, 43, all from Taiwan, said Mark Hopkins, spokesman at Mt. Carmel East Hospital in Columbus. All were treated for minor injuries and released. The plane hit the ground in a wooded area, cartwheeled about 300 feet into a single-story, cinder block building and caught fire, a highway patrol trooper said.

[@megadavis5377]

I think most pilots would agree that speed is life. It's like oxygen to the body. It's everything. When on takeoff, climbout and approach, most pilots reference their airspeed indicators every five seconds - at least. Don't you? And during the last couple of miles on an approach that reference time decreases to about every two or three seconds until you cross the runway threshold. I just can't imagine both of these guys being completely unaware of the steadily decreasing airspeed. It boggles the mind.

[@CAPEjkg]

So frustrating to see these type of incidents. Letting the airspeed drop to stall speed and realizing it to late behind the power curve. Just utterly frustrating some pilots lose track of basic flying skills. Love the channel and thank you for ALL the effort it takes to put these videos together.

[@roberthagedorn290]

The captain's last word was "Whoa" three seconds before impact with the building. I don't know what to think about that. Three people survived. That's amazing too. I can't imagine there being much left at the crash site that would indicate the existence of an airplane, just pieces here and there.

[@tedunderhill9718]

After watching many of these types of videos I am always astounded when there's a delay reacting to the stick-shaker. You'd think the first response would be power, get out of the situation and then review what happened?

[@slyguyaction]

I'm not a pilot but the approach obviously isn't stabilized and something is amiss. First thing I'd do is add power, initiate a go-around and assess what's going on. I agree

[@jerrymarbury9365]

On the road I'm with you,I guess they don't experience the shaker very often and the pucker effect takes over.they pull against the stick when they shouldn't and seem to be reluctant to give her the throttle,both are counterintuitive to the human mind

[@hadorstapa]

Stick shaker response is to reduce flaps and leave the throttle in idle? Those are some bad instincts. It sounds like the Captain didn't understand what the stick shaker is communicating.

Not a good year for US commuter flights. The Roselawn, IN crash happened later, same year. The fatalities in this crash could have been much higher if the plane was full. Commuter airlines were known for their low pay for pilots (as revealed 15 years later in the Colgan Air crash) and thus this crew was very inexperienced and should have had a seasoned captain on board which there might not have been one available.

The pilots failed at basic airmanship - airspeed control. Flying in a crew can be good or bad. Splitting the workload and extra set of eyes can be helpful in being focused on specific tasks. On the other hand, no pilot in the crew may be in the complete loop of what is happening because they delegate or expect the other to do things. In single-pilot flying, you are expected and have to know everything going on.

[@billolsen4360]

And the airline failed in managing their business. Hiring green, marginal pilots and hoping for the best. Don't know why we don't hand down indictments and criminal penalties to airlines that deliberately endanger the public this way.

This is phenomenal, as usual. I can’t wrap my brain around how that family walked away virtually unharmed. I’m not sure if you take requests or not, but I have one. I saw your Allegheny airlines 853 video, and thought it was excellent. I was struck by the similarities between it and Aeromexico flight 498. I went back and watched your quite old video about Aeromexico 498, and was wondering if there was a possibility you could maybe remaster it?. There’s just a few things about the video that were inaccurate. The biggest one for me being the fact of the DC-9s rolls left after the collision, instead of right. I can’t remember where, but I think I read a witness report stated it rolled right, and plus it logically makes sense, because the piper struck the left side of the DC-9’s tail. It would basically be the same as the Allegheny incident, just flipped, mirror image. Another smaller thing, is just the fact that the graphics are a little bit dated compared to what you’ve been showing recently. Sorry if I come off as critical, it’s all constructive. I just have a strange and particular fascination with that crash. Not really sure why. It’s just always stuck with me. I’m just weird. 🙃

Virgin allows staff including pilots to wear opposite-gender uniforms if they identify as such to make them feel good. Atlas/Amazon (has a DEI objective on it website) crash in Houston is blamed on an unqualified FO with a poor training record requiring extra sim training but did meet diversity goals. The family of the pilot that crashed the plane is even suing the airline for hiring the guy and letting him fly. Shortages, the self-imposed goal of hiring pilots based on looks limiting the otherwise qualified from getting hired, automation at the door of reducing/replacing crews, etc will be very interesting in the future.
