Can an Airplane land if BOTH engines fail?

[@MentourPilot]

Yes, this is a re-vamp of an existing video with added sounds and graphics and a lot of “fluff” cut away. I thought it would be relevant right now. I hope you will like this and consider supporting the channel 👉🏻 www.patreon.com/mentourpilot

Great video, very educational. Cheers

[@richiet6381]

Mentour Pilot So thank you so much for always the amazing insight on everything I cannot begin to tell you how much my knowledge has gone up on so many levels I am in enthusiast and I do work for the airlines which predominately uses the 737 800. I really hope one day our paths cross I would love to shake The hand(is that still a thing?i just felt everyone reading this kinda look away /make like they didn’t read that.😂😂) of the man who created the best aviation site on the planet!

[@Karluk21]

Great video as always !!! I just wanted to ask you .....if a heavy plane ( like a 777) loses both engines in a place with no runways or in the middle of the ocean what are the odds of surviving ?

[@vencvictor6617]

What is your take about a recent PIA crash in Karachi Pakistan?

[@Gpix]

very good, well done Petter.

[@jimmeade2976]

I'm not a pilot ... I'm a passenger on several flights during the year. This kind of video is very informative and shows the level of professionalism we passengers can always expect from pilots, especially in an emergency. It would be nice to amend this video to show what the cabin crew is doing at the various points during the emergency.

[@Andyc18]

I have nothing but massive respect for pilots. The ability to keep calm under pressure and think with clarity is incredible.

[@CMDRFandragon]

Can a plane land with both engines out? Well, yeah, its going to land eventually. What state of disrepair it lands in, well there is the real question.

[@einsteiniq9000]

True, good one😂😂

This one was crashed on a forest instead. Why pop the gear down when landing on a soft surface?? Fail..

[@toasterhavingabath6980]

@@outwiththem i mean, it might reduce the impact a bit

[@AshleyMickelsen]

I like seeing the communication between pilot and co-pilot/pilot flying. Checking to see if you both agree on a solution to a problem, flying as a unit.

[@die_moehre5658]

I think they get explicit training to work as a team and to not have power dynamics get in their way! Which is good and important.

[@troruaz]

I know it's a sim, but you can still feel the anxiety of the situation. Definitely like Sully :) I'm no pilot, but watching folks think quick on their feet is cool and still approachable to everybody.

[@gca259]

Likewise - I could feel my heart rate rising!

[@williamswenson5315]

Yes, the thrust levers were left all the way forward for full thrust until the very end. I'll bet the "emergency" felt very real; I've practiced in GA simulators and as simple as they are, you can feel your heart rate pick up during the sim.

[@cupofjoen]

That's what I feel when I try to land the plane to the nearest airport on single engine failure. It's hard to maintain altitude and you could stall easily, I made a hard landing using only memory items that I learned from KZbin. Real pilots definitely can do this easily.

[@regalclan5202]

Pilots go through this drills once or twice a year, the anxiety in the simulator is not as much as it would be in a real life, the anxiety is just different..... not failing the drill... which might lead to losing your job. Usually this training is carried out in the least favourable conditions, sometimes u get multiple failures at once, also the controls of these Simulators pilots use for training are also harder than the actual airplane... and yes you might be unlucky to get one of those instructors that bark over you in the simulator

[@marieel3225]

I'm going on my first introductory flight in two weeks because I fell in love with your channel and aviation!!

[@johanneskulzer385]

As a flight simmer i love this kind of video. You always learn a lot about the real-life procedures!

[@MentourPilot]

Yeah, as you can see, a lot of mistakes happen but the important thing is to get the aircraft down safely

[@rivkahtobin4834]

It’s going to come down one way or another. I believe it was Robin Olds who said keep flying even through the crash. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Keep flying, don’t quit. Don’t panic. Stop panicking if you do panic.

[@MentourPilot]

And that’s easy to say but harder to do. 😂

[@flagmichael]

I was at point of death twice before I was 19. The first time the person killing me was apparently scared off by all the blood (trust me, you don't want any more detail) and the second time the semi truck somehow missed my car. Both times it was a warm, calm feeling when hope was lost; the second time I had been working and thought, "I won't have to do taxes!" That may have a lot to do with my response now to crisis: calm and peaceful. It is a lot better that way because no time is lost with what I think I have to do because I am unable to focus. I can still function fine but without the craziness.

[@Murph9000]

In one of his many interviews, Sully said (quoting someone else, I believe) something like "fly to the scene of the crash". I.e. no matter what else happens, keep it flying and try to stay within the envelope.

[@Mirciulikkk]

@@flagmichael don't become a pilot 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Dr_Reason]

I can guarantee it will come in contact with the surface of the earth. Landing may be a bit trickier.

[@MentourPilot]

Yep, that’s true

[@Stettafire]

Well... It will LAND, but will it land with or without fire?

[@haqvor]

In the entire history of aviation, we have not yet left anyone up there. ;) A good landing is when everyone can walk away, an excellent landing is when you can use the aircraft again.

[@SeanBZA]

@@haqvor My father had that, though the time between landing and take off again was in the order of 2 weeks. However, before that him and his plane had landed separately, plane not so good, him a little better, but not by much, as he was told 6 weeks later when he woke up.

[@yottaforce]

you just have to miss the earth

[@douglasfaichnie]

I’m blown away! That was spectacular to watch. Fascinating, scary and exhilarating. I just want to say thank you. The more I learn, the more confidence I have as a passenger.

[@Indiskret1]

Despite knowing it's just a simulator, I still get very emotional. Impressive piloting!

[@Graybear78]

Excellent video! Very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you. And yes, more of this type of scenarios helps us understand what goes on in the cockpit.

[@mattwoodford1820]

@Mentour Pilot yes, these are great videos. GREAT JOB ELTON!!! VERY PROFESSIONAL

[@bcgrittner]

Mighty fine landing, Pilot. Years ago, when I was learning to fly light aircraft, my instructors insisted that I bring the engine power back to a high idle and glide the entire pattern. They always wanted me to manage the energy that I had and condition myself for possible engine failure.

[@jeroenmaes1645]

1 vs 2 engines? Makes sense IMO...

[@buffalodebill1976]

[@AzTrailRider57]

"2: Get All Steps Explained (Starts at minute 07:37)" NICELY Done!!!

[@Shabazza84]

I imagine it's pretty hard to set the plane up for a good approach when you can only gain or lose speed by changing your rate of climb or descent. Speed and altitude are basically hard-coupled in that situation. So that's something to start sweating I guess... Energy management gets pretty tricky when you can only trade potential vs kinetic energy and only have a non-replenishing combined pool of that. Again, excellent video.

[@XM-qk5sh]

Even in a flight simulator this is very intense. Well done guys !!!!!

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

“Runway 28 is the best chance we have, do you agree!” Nice open question

[@JasonFlorida]

Wow! The image has drastically improved allowing veiwing out the airplane! Also, the FO can move the flaps without dislocating his shoulder

[@sharoncassell9358]

Thats trimming the craft. That was slight. Flaps were to slow the plane for landing.

[@RoddSmith-d5q]

This reminds me about my only time in a 737 simulator trying to land at the old Kai Tak airport. Except I crashed and died. One thing I did notice here... was that you were calm enough to verbally acknowledge to your pilot the pending 'overbank' which means he knows you're in full control, and flying the aircraft. Very cool video bro. Call me next time you're in Krabi. I'm just over in HKT 🙂

[@keithhodkinson8386]

Great video and very instructional. It would have been really interesting to know what the airspeed was at the various stages of this approach and landing though

[@JasonFlorida]

I am glad this dude does training! I have done extensive research and the way Mentour asks the pilot for feedback and communication between his crew and ATC is top notch. Its a fact, you are more likely to be successful in any event that the crew is proficient in CRM or Crew Resource Management. I Iove the way this man questions himself to the FO even though he knows he is right to provide additional input. Before recently the pilot would 'be in charge and always right' as well as the 'how dare you question my authority' type situations. Scary right!? I mean we all make mistakes sometimes and it takes a real man to carry himself the way Mentour does and it just shows that his number one priority is safety!

[@gasdive]

Scrolling down to say the same thing. (well not that I'm an expert, but that the CRM was great).

Wow, that was as expected... Super BOSS and ya cranked it smooth. 👍

[@KawaiiKamikaze1]

Thanks for this amazing video. I have 2 questions after watching this video. 1st- Why did you not close the fuel valves for the engines after decision not to relight them was made? Wouldn't leaving them open be a risk for fire/explosion? 2nd- Why did you not put the engine thrust lever back to neutral position after noticing engines were severely damaged? Wouldn't that become hazardous situation for more impending problems? Hope to hear from you soon, Keep posting these types of videos, thanks!

[@mr.martintorres5804]

I was thinking the same thing on the fuel pumps.

[@gelatinous6915]

I've flown the same manuver in a Mooney sim dozens of times, and the temptation to throw out the speedbrakes when you think you're too high/fast to make a runway is reeeeally hard to beat, but restraint is very important. You can kill off speed later in the descent, hold onto it as long as you can. Super cool to see how the pros handle it.

[@wranglerboi]

This was more exciting than the most tense airplane movie I've ever seen! This shows what pilots REALLY have to do in such a situation. After watching this, I want Mentour Pilot to fly EVERY plane I ever go on! Too bad I can't check ahead of time on who the pilot will be for every flight I will be on. (But I also know that ALL pilots go through this typing of training, so I guess a "secondary" alternative would be acceptable.)

the best way to find out how much you know is to teach you must be a pretty awesome pilot by now .. although sully and his type fighter pilots bring in f4 phantoms when the should have ejected.. always wanted to be a pilot done 60 hours on 172s never enough in one go to be a pilot but I use the knowledge and my engineering degree attitude to safety as I do right now driving a london bus on routes 23 and 13 . fortunately the company that I work with has managers with licences andhealth and safety come first and customer comfort and experience comes after that its a good bunch sadly in other companies some drivers tolerate issues instead of reporting them. Best london bus company i've ever worked in tower transit westbourne park , others not so much. I think the pilot training helps me be a better driver!

[@josefckngai6114]

agreed, not only on this channel, but on almost all vids I can find on youtube, that flap control stick is pain in the axx.

[@SeanBZA]

It has a very strong bias spring to keep it in the detents, as well as a very stiff action, as it drives cables down to the flap controls. Not something you want to accidentally deploy in flight, as you can destroy the aircraft that way.
