You never cease to amaze me with your unique style of reporting. Every time I listen to your reporting I know that I have heard it from someone who knows what they're talking about . Thank you.

[@blancolirio]

Thanks Duane!

[@johnlewis2179]

Juan’s “unique style of reporting” is telling people what one knows to be true, based on facts obtained and on knowledge and experience gained. Everyone could do that, but too few do. However, unlike Juan, even if they did, they might not report anything worth listening to!

[@duanequam7709]

@@johnlewis2179 Yup, there is still a few people who find the truth is far more important than fiction . What a breath of fresh air that is.

[@ericlozen9631]

Back in 1983 I got my first up close look (and cockpit tour) of a Delta 767-200 at KDTW. At the time I was 15 years old. Getting onboard airliners was exciting. I was very successful in doing so and I always thanked those that made it happen. Sometimes I got to tag along during the walk around inspection before flight. Security wise things were so different back then. Oh yeah, I still have the cockpit picture of the 762. It's on my wall now. Great channel you have! TY =)

[@brentgalye2936]

I cringe every time I hear of an accident, knowing some 1/2 baked reporter is going to toss in his/hers two cents worth and panic the general public. I am grounded now but have a few K hours in DC-3 and CV440 (And lots of glider tows in scouts and citabria's) I wish the news organizations would send out someone who actually knows something about aviation when something happens. Juan, you give us the real deal. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@shoersa]

You need to do some serious filtering with this internet/news stuff. YES, on "Juan, you give us the real deal. THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

[@charlesborlase2238]

no kidding. Too much push for sensationalism..."Look what the FAA and Boeing did!!!!"

[@Truckee-td5ud]

Juan, Thank you for another educational update. It’s so sad about all the Plane accidents lately. Stay safe and I’ll be waiting for the next update. 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻

[@chuckboyle8456]

Another outstanding aviation update...thanks JB! Great analysis and factual breakdown of mishap information known to date. Well done.

[@FlynBrian]

I too, saw that report you refer to on the Atlas crash. I understand the idea about bumping a TOGA paddle. However, I have some trouble believing the FO pushed over to nearly 50 degrees nose down to compensate. That would provide instantaneous, and rather "exciting," visual feedback out the front windscreen. My god man! 50 degrees? I guess I have a bit of an issue with this. If he somehow did over-react to this degree, there would have been an instinctual and immediate counter control input. I am a bit skeptical with what I read and this will remain a bit of a "head scratcher" for now. So, rather than speculate, I look forward to the NTSB's final report. Alway a great report Juan.

[@kevinmartin7760]

Maybe there was an emergency medical condition causing him/her to involuntarily apply pressure to the yoke. That might also explain why the captain was the one to reach around the column to apply flaps.

[@plnmech]

Juan, my name is John McKenna, I am a long retired 737 200,300 and 500 Line Maintenance Controller (SAM} for United Airlines (19 years) and admittedly some of my memories of placards have been lost in history, after all I am 80 years old,but the stab trim cut out switch panel placards clearly showed one switch labeled main trim cut out and a switch labeled auto pilot trim cut out. I don't know which 737 version this placard is from,nor do I know what the max 8 placard shows but I do know that the MCAS system uses the auto servo motor to drive the stab trim jack screw. If you have a runaway main trim motor you know it right away, it is fast and loud, where as the autopilot trim is slower and quieter. That being said it seems that the Boeing emergency procedure actually prevented the pilots from making a speedy recovery from this auto trim situation. I believe that the procedure should say cutout auto pilot stab trim and correct out of trim condition with main stab trim motor. The secondary cause of the Ethiopian Air crash was caused by excessive airspeed caused by the out of trim condition and pilots unable to deal with two different problems at the same time. Boeing can automate an input from the the three airspeed indication systems, filter the outputs to throw out the errant output and feed it into the auto throttle computer which is then programmed to limit airspeed to some preprogrammed air speed below VMO. This brings up the need for a third Alpha vane using the same filtering to eliminate errant data. You may not know this but the 747"s and DC 10's with triple INS systems compared outputs From each INS and to threw out data prom an INS system which drifted off course. There is areal value in three's because it allows you to see an error and determine where the error is. I thank you for the insightful information that you have provided us and hope that you will continue to do so.

[@blancolirio]

Thanks John!

[@gungadinn]

Juan, I've been in the business for over 30 years. The only changes that I'm aware of is that the FAA relies on Boeing and the sub-tier suppliers that the FAA regulates to perform the material testing and component testing with the FAA reserving the right to witness all tests. We may not have had a full time Boeing or FAA rep on site, they routinely came in to observe materials testing from the layup to autoclave cure, to specimen testing to test to failure on hardware. I think where the FAA is falling short it that as complexity increases, that they don't have the skill set to know what they're observing during testing. Computer code is probably the most critical feature where the FAA doesn't have a clue. Then again, other than the group responsible for the software and firmware almost no one does.

Of course it doesn't help that his mother was feeding all those sugary snacks all day especially since he dint eat his breakfast and skipped nap time. I cant wait till he starts to get that pressure build up in his ears. He is going to scream and scre........is that turbulence?...GOD NO!..... BILLY!... PUT THE I-PAD DOWN!!!!!!

[@ke6gwf]

@@JAMESWUERTELE you can have the source code available for review, and not have the computer connected to a Wi-Fi router. These are not internet connected computers, so unless you are able to plug into the diagnostics port and have the firmware access passwords etc, there is no direct attack path to them. Now, I suppose with all the other screw ups Boeing has been doing, maybe they are accessible through the seat back entertainment systems, and the password is Password1...

[@skippy5712]

A big problem all around the World. Years ago my Son and about 25 other bright kids started a double Uni Degree that combined both Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. No Mechanical Engineering but they were trying to get that as a two year add on. They tried to do the double one it in 5 years. At the end of the first year 25 became18. At 18 months 13 left. At 24 months 9 left. In the end only 5 graduated. It simply was too difficult. These were 25 boys with the correct aptitude and top Academic Records. Talking to him the Problem in Australia was the respective Professional Organisations. The Engineering Association in particular. There were things in the Engineering area they should have been able to drop. They would never use but the Associations in Australia would not allow them to do this. Not sure how it is in other Nations but here it is the respective Professional Organisations that determine if they get a recognised Degree or not. Somebody with a big boot needed to step in and sort them out. The aim was to try and develop a course that comprised Computer Sciences (Top Programmers) with good Electronics Engineering Skills and in the long term key proposed they also have good Mechanical Engineering skills in 7 years. Also Government or Industry needs to step in and give them a bit of financial assistance. Most would take 8 years. Many though subjects in there like Engineering Maths. A real need for these people. The Professional Associations stuffed it up and no extra financial support. Something has to give! I am not in that league but you see problems all the time in these areas in Industrial and Agricultural equipment. The designers obviously don't have a clue how to combine Computer/Electronic/Mechanical control systems. The Computer/ Mechanical interface is always the problem. Each one with Tunnel Vision. An Engineering problem. So many Engineers and Programmers have tunnel vision. The only solution is broad Training in all areas. It will take bright kids to do it. Maybe the Asians will do it for us. Three of the five that graduated in that course were Asian. One an Indian was already in his 4th year was working on the US/Australian research into Scramjets. My son was good friends with him. My son dropped out and just did the Computer Science side. It was simply too difficult for him.

[@BeechSportBill]

[@blancolirio]

Yes! Thanks Robert.

[@redleader]

The jumpseater was CA Sean Archuleta, Mesa Airlines E-175 pilot based at IAH (he lived in the Miami area and was commuting to IAH). This was his last commute to IAH for his last trip...as he had just accepted a new job at United. At his memorial service the folks from UA presented his widow with a pair or epaulets and wings. He was such a good guy. Very sad indeed. Juan, (windshear......windshear).

[@huberttrimmel9245]

[@peccatumDei]

Thank you Juan, for another great update. I recently spent a week shadowing an aircraft mechanic as he performed post flight inspections and maintenance on a variety of aircraft, including a 767, so all of that was fresh in my mind as I watched this update.

[@blancolirio]

excellent!

[@Dave-ty2qp]

Thank you Juan for a great presentation. Recently my car was recalled for airbag replacement, and mine was an oddball so while waiting for the parts Toyota is giving me a rental car. Very generous, and apreciated much. Learning how to dtive a new car is fun when you find out it will keep itself centered in the lane, automatically brake, and follow trafic flow without much input from the driver, I'm used to it now, but the reality is that when the parts for my car arrive, I will have to go back to actually driving a car. This brings me to my point: If highly trained pilots are not getting enough stick time actually flying a plane, what happens when his skills are actually needed. Having participated in several Aircraft accident investigations over my 50 year career in aviation,I know the NTSB investigators are only looking for what actually occurred. Too often what occurs is errors brought on by lack of proficiency. It doesn't matter how much you train for a task, if you are not proficent at it you are likely to blow it. I do hope the NTSB and the FAA start working on a resolution instead of a statement of blame. There is usually enough blame for everyone to share. Thanks for reading my novel.LOL

[@billthetraveler51]

Thanks Juan for information about the Atlas cargo. And thank you for putting the "leak" into the proper perspective. The control column movement is still really creepy.

[@bruceavis1610]

Thanks for the AV update.The 767 situ is very scary if it turns out like it looks...then it was a chain of events with a basic breach of cockpit protocol,like you were instructing young Pete "you have the aircraft"! Thanks also for including the source for additional info on the changing relationship between the FAA and AC operators.

[@johncary289]

Just want you to know how much i appreciate your contribution of clear, understandable information about these events. i am not a pilot but i have developed an interest in the demands of piloting, aided greatly by the abundance of detailed information and case studies, such as you have been providing. Clearly bad things can happen even to very experienced pilots despite well advanced technology. We humans may think we can master and control anything. Actually, it appears that piloting, in particular, can push us beyond our capabilities. Some might like the excusing phrase "I am only human" (and thus fallible). A place for some humility...Fascinating.....and worrisome. Thank you.

[@blancolirio]

Yes, and things can go bad so quickly to even the most experienced...Thanks John.

[@rachels209]

Hi Juan. The diagram at 9.54 shows a good picture of the ‘breakout’ mechanism in the bottom left corner. You are correct in mentioning that nothing ‘shears’ but rather the left and right system are separated by 50ish lbs of force provided by those two big springs holding that roller in the middle of the tulip shaped cam. From memory (forgive me it’s been 20 plus years since my tech training on type) the R/H column would also experience 2 degrees of lost motion if this was the case. Someone else commented on fatigued shear pins which is BS.

[@blancolirio]

Yes!

[@joevignolor4u949]

You would think Boeing used some sort of detent mechanism instead of shear pins because if the two yokes were returned to the same position again you would want them to reconnect once their positions matched again.

[@OswaldoLafee]

[@uwekonnigsstaddt524]

[@curtisb9422]

Good info Juan. I'll add one thing on the Alaska air tour crash. You're right that ADS-B will be required in specific airspace, but you could also say that it will be required only where transponders are required now. (with a couple obscure exceptions). I've run into other CFIs and even DPEs who are confused about this. So with the possible exception of where these planes that crashed were flying, because they were near the Canadian border, the only airspace requiring ADS-B by next year up in Alaska will be the class C around Anchorage.

@@stimproid No doubt, this man put big effort and time to produce such educational video from someone who knows the details. There is some details out there for the differences between the trim cutout switches of the two models. We expect some details here. However, youtubers know or advised about video length in order to keep them attractable to watch, and that's sometime affect the main goal of the video. I wish I explained my point.

[@stimproid]

@@khalidfh On the switches... The checklist says. Turn both switches off. You don't need to know how they are labeled or that the labeling changed. You just follow the checklist.

[@khalidfh]

@@stimproid Yes thats what is in the checklist However, and I am not sure and not sure where I red it or watch it, in the NG one switch turn the auto trim off while the second one turn the pilot trim switch off or main electric cutout. In the Max any of the switches will cut off the main electric trim, leaving the system and pilots not able to use the jack screw motor and have to trim manually. This is an important piece of information and not sure why Boing changed the functions of these two switches.

@@khalidfh I believe the 2 photos are swapped, NG has independent Main vs Autopilot, MAX has Pri / Backup. Thus no way to turn off MCAS without turning off all trim power.

[@awuma]

The big issue now is whether all drones, hobbyist model airplanes and UAVs should also have ADS-B and some form of collision avoidance. My estimate is that they will all have it within a few years, as the electronics are commercially mass-produced to a lower but acceptable standard of testing and qualification. After all, mid-market recreational drones already have full FPV control and geolocation to within a few feet.... ADS-B OUT is just a minor modification, as is ADS-B IN on operator handsets.

[@irn2flying]

Juan, love your channel. The graphs, charts, schematics, and pictures are awesome. From one airline guy to another, it's great stuff (I'm a "767 driver" with 20 years on the jet, 35 years on the property) Keep up the good work.. One thing I would add to the discussion regarding the 767 (and the rumor about the TOGA switch being inadvertently activated by the captain at about 6,000ft) would be this... On the 757/767 the TOGA (Take Off, Go Around) switches are NOT armed unless you have glideslope capture, (not possible for them at this distance/angle from KIAH) or the flaps are are out of the up position (or clean above 2,500 AGL). Sooooo, if/when the captain reached around to select flaps 1 at 6000ft, even if he nudged the TOGA switch, it would NOT be armed. Additionally, I can say from personal experience (having selected the flaps thousands of times over 20 years from the left seat) when you retract your hand/wrist AFTER flap selection, (now arming the TOGA switch) the motion of the right forearm being withdrawn is not at all conducive to depressing the TOGA switch on the #2 throttle. (The TOGA switch has to be pushed in and slightly up about 1/4 inch to activate it. Brushing or pulling the paddle switch won't activate it) Additionally, if the MCP (Mode Control Panel) altitude was selected to their altitude of 6000ft, as one would expect on the Link One RNAV arrival into KIAH, (Houston Intercontinental) when/if this possible TOGA switch bump occurred, the AFDS (Autopilot Flight Director System) pitch flight mode on the FMA's should show ALT/CAP, ALT HOLD, placing the auto throttles into SPD (speed) mode. The autothrotles should then seek equilibrium towards the speed shown in the now open MCP window, which should be around 230kts. In layman terms, the autothrottles shouldn't move much at all, EVEN IF the TOGA switches had been armed, and improbably activated, after selecting flaps 1. My two cents on this very sad "head scratcher"... May they RIP.

Another great report Juan greatly appreciate your inside views of "headline news events" HM2CW Regarding manufacturer's designated FAA representatives while working at McDonnell Douglas on early Super 80s requiring FAA inspection I was performing a final function test of flight controls and landing gear the complete test was about 150 items on Assembly Outline with 4 colums of QA/QC employee date stamp locations for each item. The test invoved the aircraft to be on jacks barricaded, ground power and hydraulic cart with observers. I had almost complete the test which took about 2 hours to perform without problems when the MD Mngr. who was the FAA designee asked how the test had gone I informed him all ok He asked for the document (a legal document of aircraft construction to meet FARs) upon receipt He stamped off the 4th column through out the document (approx 150 line items) without having witnessed the test or had prior documentation of acceptance by myself for QA or Co QC or Customer acceptance gave me his pager # in case of problems. I put the document up for inspection and during retest with QC Inspector had a Slat Indication Failure (SIF) which usually indicated a Digital Flight Guidance System failure. The MD inspector PI'd (preliminary inspection rejection) the document and said I needed to contact the FAA designee which I did phone call sounded like bar in back ground (2nd shift) told me to void his stamp on document so the record ended up with approx 75 voided date stamped FAA columns with no preceeding QA/QC columns stamped. During my tenure the VP of QC was terminated for loaning his stamp to a production Mngr who bought off a installation of non interchangeable primary flight control sector assembly removed and reinstalled on another aircraft that was excessively preloaded to install. Juan pls don't ask me how the FAA found out before the 1st test flight, all I'll say is a pay phone on site was used.
