Blinded By The Light | IndiGo Flight 237

[@martinross5521]

I was braced for impact as they got the terrain warning. TOGA responded just in time. Several warnings ignored. Thank you Allec.

[@tonyfletcher2541]

Good to see one where the crew recognized the situation before it was too late.

[@888macky888]

Just goes to show though how some bad decision making can lead to unfortunate trail of events… the pilots didn’t pilot properly and were lucky to have not caused an accident through their improper thinking

[@arturo468]

Yes, they did a great job!?!

"It's hazy as hell, and the sun will be in your eyes. I suggest VFR rather than ILS." 👍👍

[@mindlessgonzo]

Sun in the eyes, hazy as crap. "Let's eyeball this."

[@BassGirlSusan1961]

What could possibly go wrong

[@anthonymichalski9015]

is it haze or is it fn air pollution? satisfactory air pollution levels ar 50 or lower - i just looked up Jaipur today and it is 172 = massive air quality health risk. i couldn't imagine living there, none the less flying into that country as a pilot and unable to see anything.

[@dennyj8650]

So glad they made it and others can learn from their mistakes. Nice video.

[@Supersean0001]

Definitely a learning experience for the cockpit crew! Nevertheless, the decision to go around was the right one, and shows a decent amount of airmanship on their part. I was trying to recall an airline accident at the end of February 2016 -- and that's the best of reasons why: there wasn't one.

[@jamesgraham6122]

The company needs to focus on their CRM training ! It states early on that the crew were instructed to expect an 'ILS Localizer Approach', (not an ILS Approach), this would indicate that there was no glideslope available.. was that a misprint ? Always impressed by the graphics.. Well done :>)

Almost rolled it up into a ball. If the FO had handed over controls to the Captain they would have crashed. He had a minor case of "Getthereitis" but luckily they recovered.

[@BillMorganChannel]

Instrument Landing System (ILS) is a radio navigation system that helps aircraft land safely by providing guidance to the runway during bad weather or at night. ILS uses two radio beams to provide vertical and horizontal guidance to the pilot

[@cindysavage265]

In the morning, the state’s department of transportation stops traffic on a major east-west interstate here in the US for the same reason, the sun’s glare. The area is called Floyd’s Hill. In the Front Range of the Rockies, already a traffic hazard due to cars traveling at 80 mph and semi-trucks driving at 30 due to steep grades. The stop is only for a short time but long enough to get the sun out of drivers’ eyes

[@kepler240]

This is one of those learning events they never will forget. It made them much better pilots.

[@cattinkerbell4946]

Hopefully not only them.

[@доктор-вонючая-морковь]

I suspect the Captain would have least been demoted , maybe even fired after this event .

[@npxmnpxm]

Whew, I thought they were about to land on a residential street.

[@sarahmacintosh6449]

At least they made the decision to go around as soon as they realised something was wrong. How many videos have we seen where that decision was taken ten seconds too late? So good on the pilots for that at least.

[@horseathalt7308]

Is it possible that many pilots are watching these videos and learning from the channel and the other pilots mistakes? I think so!

[@larrydavid6852]

Definitely.

[@starkenterprises2371]

​@@horseathalt7308 I think so, too. How many lives has Allec saved?

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

I am not sure how far the visibility was in miles (not into the metric thing...lol) but the crew got talked into the visual approach with near disastrous results! There is a great lesson here isn't there.....lot's of things to be considering at all times!

[@roberthudson1959]

5K is 3.1 miles.

[@ggeorge4144]

Everyone on the planet uses metric but the stubborn and stupid Americans will stick to their use the ancient model of feet which originates from farmers walking off their land counting how many feet they used.

[@jakejacobs7584]

Hi Allec, Oggie Ogelthorpe here. I have a story for you that happened to me. There is no record of it as all survived. It happened between 1995 and 97. Would have to go thru my logbooks to verify. A very similar yet different story happened to me as a 757 copilot on approach into Guatemala City on a misty rainy night but in my case the issue was a thing called " map shift " on the old non gps INS systems. If you want to know more, let me know.

[@patriciamariemitchel]

Good save, guys. If they had crashed, the Controller would certainly share in the blame. They shouldn't have been given a visual approach from that end of the runway at that time of day with the sun where it was.

Sounded like they were one tall building away from disaster, I hope they learned their lesson quickly, makes you think how do pilots with all their training be able to make such amateur mistakes when commercially flying? I wonder how often mistakes like this happen

[@maxtornogood]

Mistake to opt for a visual approach but not a fatal one in this instance.

[@DukesMusic84]

Whew. I've never had an aborted landing or where they have to take off again and go around. I imagine it must be terrifying and it usually creates more chance for errors than if you just get it on the ground.

Hello Allec, Could You Make A Crash Simulation If TWA Flight 800?, A Boeing 747-131 Operated By Trans World Airlines, The Flight Origin Was In The International Airport John F Kennedy, With A Destination Of The Airport Of Leonardo Da Vinci, In Rome, Italy, With A Scale To The International Airport Of Charles De Gaulle, Paris, France, It Crashed In Atlantic Ocean, Close To The Moriches Island, In The New York, It Was In July 17, 1996, When TWA Flight 800 has take off from International Airport Of John F Kennedy, In The New York, U.S.A, It Crashed In The Ocean Atlantic During In-Flight Breakup, Due To A Fuel Tank Explosion Caused By Short Circuit.

Actually it was a surface to air missile fired from a US Navy frigate that brought down TWA flight 800. The evidence and eyewitness reports all bear this out.

bit of a non-event this one....pilots made errors, got into a bad situation and didn't show great cockpit work management....BUT they made the right call to go around, they rescued the situation and landed safely....was this incident considered major or minor then? i am sure similar situations must sometimes happen more often than we hear about

Yeah. Like landing a jet full of people in the totally foreseeable conditions of bad visibility and sun low in the sky was the Other thing these pilots were supposed to be doing.

Pretty sure that going around because you were 200 feet close to hit the ground (I mean not the runway ground) happens often.
