CAPTAIN JOE explains 10 AIRPLANE INCIDENTS

[@nothingtoseehere4026]

It was nice to see the human aviators extending professional courtesy to the animal aviator.

[@tedferkin]

I'm wondering if this was a Kestrel or something that is used to scare off the birds at airport. I know several UK airports employ falconers to do this. I'm thinking the hawk got too used to the jets, wasn't scared by them and decided to see if he could get a cheap flight for a vacation somewhere.

[@PPiero63]

@@tedferkin that's exactly what I was thinking: it must be a falconers' bird, used to control wild birds in the airport

[@DavidThumim99099]

@@tedferkin This bird is really recognizable as the peregrine falcon, AKA the fastest animal ever recorded. When in a dive, it can accelerate to speeds above 240mph! It's also very possible that this bird was indeed a falconer's, since this bird is one of the best pigeon predators that exists, and it's been introduced in many cities to help deal with their pigeon problems.

[@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307]

[@juaneduardovitoria]

That "incident" at 2:37 took place at Ciudad Real airport in Spain (very close to where I live) and the bird was not a wild eagle, it was a falcon that they used at Ciudad Real airport to scare birds away, which makes it even funnier, when the bird used to prevent birdstrikes approaches departing aircraft.

Yes that's what I thought. You could see some ropes on it's talons that can be used by a falconer to hold the bird in place once it sits on his hand.

[@hyenafur]

That F-16 wasn’t practicing landing on aircraft carriers, it was testing the system. Arrester wires at Tulsa and other airports are primarily used for emergency landings for military fighter and training aircraft. It’s to help keep them from over running off the runway during an emergency.

[@nickysabnis1919]

Good

[@aviationandotherstuff6571]

Yep, was thinking the same thing

[@aviationandotherstuff6571]

If you’re flying the F-16, you’re not gonna be landing on carriers for the rest of your career. Unless you somehow switch to the Navy later, which, there is no need.

[@Ogelets]

I don’t think Joe said the F-16 was practicing carrier landing.

[@hyenafur]

Those arrestor systems are usually retractable, and a NOTAM will be issued when they’re up. He’s not entirely wrong though, some Navy bases will deploy them when doing carrier qualification training, but the ones at Air Force bases are used for emergencies (so can the Navy ones).

[@MonostripeZebra]

01:29 is the classic SG-38 "Zögling" training launch, that used to be the first solo (in 1930ies) which you did without ever having flown without an instructor. Today "A" examination with the single gull sticker awarded is still going back to that and we used to have people in the gliding club that still had learned to fly like this.

[@franciszekbaranowski8951]

02:11 For me this glider looks very similar to the WWS-2 "Żaba" (Frog). 02:24 No mater with termals those types of gliders can't slaid very far. In those times they were named "Sliders". kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJnHnKxpm5tomMU

[@robhobsweden]

This launch method is still available at Ålleberg, Sweden.

[@photosquare7]

A vew years ago I had the chace to fly the SG38 at the german mountain Wasserkuppe, where this video was recorded. This fight was the best one I ever had! I was so happy....

[@christophmuller2528]

i think the launch took place on the Wasserkuppe/Rhön, Germany

[@acywei]

For the Dual Engine Failure and stall, I think he had fuel starvation. The engines begins to cut out as the plane begins to wave up and down (especially the right wing) after initiating go-around, by the 3rd oscillation they cutout completely. engine 3 dies first as it got the waved around the most and earliest, engine 2 (center died soon after) engine 1 barely stayed alive, you can see it slowed a bit too. Probably caused the float carb to sink flooding the engine or it just more basic fuel lines and the waving caused the fuel to shift to one side of the tank starving the engines.

[@Tiger313NL]

I was thinking that too, though I'm not sure how these engines work on an RC aircraft.

[@christoffermonikander2200]

That was what I was thinking too. Just never seen it in level flight before. Only seen it, or rather heard it, when aircraft gone inverted during acrobatics.

[@acywei]

@@christoffermonikander2200 RC planes are much more finicky with their fuel supply due to the low volumes and thus tight tolerances they operate under.

[@phillee2814]

I'm pretty sure it was what is known as a "throttle cutout" caused by slamming the throttles open too fast. Hard not to in a situation like that, but those of my age or older who learned their engines on simple carburettors devoid of fancy additions like CV diaphragms and even earlier accelerator pumps will be familiar with them. Basically, if you open the throttle too fast, the airflow over the jets in the carburettor rises to near ambient air pressure, and fuel is no longer drawn through those jets. If the throttle is advanced more gently, the engine has time to speed up and increase vacuum through the intake enough to keep that vital Bernoulli effect going under the throttle slides, but if you just yank the slides straight out of the choke of the carb, the airflow is too slow in the increased cross-sectional area to keep the carb functioning. Accelerator pumps were the first (and not very efficient) way of preventing it, where any fast opening of the throttle just injects fuel straight into the intake manifold, but later constant vacuum/velocity systems pretty much solved it - but both add weight and complexity, so may not have been present on the engines on even a large scale model. I know they are not fitted to smaller-scale RC aircraft engines. Generally, the servos can't advance the throttles fast enough for this to happen, but at some point in scaling up models, it could be a problem in tuning the servo response.

[@EssArrB]

@@phillee2814 Yes, sudden full open throttle + marginal carb setup = lean cut. Large engines have accelerator pumps to avoid it, most RC engines don't, you just set them up to run a bit rich.

[@jackielinde7568]

15:22 - The Lawn Dart technique for landing. Done that enough in flight sims to know that you don't want me as a pilot.

[@derauditor5748]

1:27 Min. is like they did it in the 1920 and 30s on the Wasserkuppe. Traditional way of starting a Glider. And i spot a German Window in the Background behind the Captain :)

[@Makatea]

Yes, one of the surviving _Schulgleiter 38s_ being pulled the way they did it before motorised winches...

[@josefmprable]

10:00 my initial thought was with the door open it creates drag along the right side of the aircraft, making the aircraft want to veer to the right, so they can maintain centreline as much as possible upon touchdown.

[@csmith8503]

I was taught to wedge a shoe into the opened door to make sure it would remain open.

[@PilotBlogDenys]

Great!

[@ChrisBoyle]

17:34 The botched flare looks like there was a lot of pitch oscillation, maybe negative G for a moment, and significant yaw even before the engine failures. Could these things have caused fuel starvation, by all the remaining fuel flying to the top/side of the tank where the intake isn't? Perhaps engine 1 got lucky by having enough in the lines or riding out the interruption, and the others didn't.

[@jrvanwhy]

I've experienced the "pitch change causes fuel starvation" issue with an RC aircraft. I had about 3 inches of fuel line between the tank of the aircraft and the engine, and it took at least 10 seconds for the engine to fail after the intake sucked in air. I doubt it was negative G at the fuel tank causing issues. If these engines use float-style carburetors, then maybe it was fuel starvation within the carburetor? The plane I flew had a much smaller engine with a needle carburetor, I don't know if larger RC aircraft use float-style carburetors. I do know that throttling up too fast can cause RC engines to die immediately, though. Maybe that's what happened here? I think the yaw happened after the engine failures, but it's hard to tell for sure.

[@James-oo1yq]

Those engines are tricky to get idling properly. Perhaps they cut out as he put power to idle? Just a guess

[@dGoerr]

@@James-oo1yq In a discussion under the original video it said: The R/C Pilot tried a go around and the engines drowned when putting from idle to full power in split seconds.

[@Person01234]

I know negative G's were an issue in early carburettor fed spitfires because they rely on gravity to supply the fuel, nose down too hard and the engine cuts out.

[@Superdavey2002]

Captain Joe, love all your videos. Have to tell a story about the arresting cables. A few years ago we had the Snowbirds Aerial Demonstration Team (basically Canada’s version of The Blue Angels) come to our city and put on an air show. At the time a CF18 was travelling with them as part of the show. One of the requirements was to install a temporary arresting cable system for the CF18. When the CF18 landed after his part of the show, the arresting cable was ripped out of the ground causing a bunch of damage to our runway lights and electrical cables. The CF18 managed to stop fine and taxi to the apron. And I doubt anyone, except for a select few of us even knew there was a problem. Thanks again for the videos.

[@basscharenborg6441]

When your parents need the kitchen: Joe: "Mom, can I use the kitchen table for a (quick) video?" Mom: "Yes, but I have to start cooking soon" Also Joe: * records for at least half an hour * I'm sorry, but as soon when you said you need to keep it short, I laught..! I think it's funny because I know these situations very well unfortunately. For instance: When I get called that dinner is ready and yel back "YES, I'M COMING" but I keep staring at my PC for 20 minutes.. Even longer at times... And when I finaly sit down at the table, every one is done eating, and my dinner is cold.. ew

I used to own a Rallye 235 when I lived in Cape Town and did a lot of seat of the pants bush flying. Never saw any animals but the DeBeers strip in Namibia is made from crushed tiger eye gem stones. It glitters when you are on final! I enjoy your vids!

[@Chris80]

13:40 Remembers me flying on the wrong tank. Flying our small vfr piston aircrafts, they have a fuel return-line which is mostly directed to the left wingtank. When you fill up both tanks and take-off on the right wingtank, the left wingtank will be overfilled all the time by the fuel return-line pressing more and more fuel into the left tank.

[@woutervanverseveld5326]

Hey there CJ, i need to be quick too, just saying that you are my insporation to become a pilot. Now im going to watch the video. Cheers!

[@SycamoreRCSpeedway]

I think in the last clip the sudden g-load when he pulled up stopped the flow of fuel to the motors which, if the tank was low, could be possible. Plus the pilot then opened the throttle simultaneously and starved the engines of fuel.

[@skipmaloney2126]

The manual flap handle on the Piper extends above the seat line when flaps are extended, hindering exit from the left seat.

I think in the piper, you drop the flaps to get out. It is really narrow in the cabin and the flaps leaver is blocking the exit for the left-hand seat.

[@kevinhacken9801]

That was my thought

[@PeterNGloor]

do these engines have a fuel pump?

[@clariidfisherman3702]

@@PeterNGloor I think most rc aircraft use carburetors. It could either be a shift in the fuel which pulled fuel from the fuel lines, a carburetor failure, or he might have pushed the throttles up too fast and killed the engine

[@Juergen_Miessmer]

@@PeterNGloor Usualy there is no fuelpump. The fueltank is under pressure, witch is taken from exhaust.

[@hamletksquid2702]

The fuel hose inside the tank is flexible neoprene with a weight on the end called a "klunk". If the fuel shifts, the end of the fuel hose follows it.

[@openbabel]

The radio controlled aircraft may have several explainations for crashing....suggestions are Radio control interfearence with rudder servo shift Like the max the engines were too far forward causing a cartwheel stall (demonstrated on the DCs swepped wing design) caused by too narrow C of G envelope. Sudden power loss on one engine flying at low speed.

[@hakee2006]

Captain Joe, PLEASE make more of these videos!!! Very enjoyable to watch!!! Extremely educational! Hats off from Asia!

[@EVE101Patt]

9:53 is it also an advantage that the opened door creates additional drag to the right side?

[@compphysgeek]

you want lift on the left hand side which can't be achieved by drag on the right hand side. You might get a little downforce on the right hand side and a small shift of the centre of gravity to the right, but those effects are probably negligible.

[@jackreed3445]

I believe the pilot with the missing gear may have dumped the flaps to get the handle out of the way for the passenger to be able to get out easier also. Great video and the animals made it even better. jack

[@kuiper921]

My thoughts too, I’m training in archers and I’m a small person and the flap lever still makes it a pain in the ass to get out or in to the pilots side if it’s fully up. Good thinking by that instructor

[@ImperrfectStranger]

12:54 I've seen this happen from time to time on fully fuelled 747's just after takeoff (perhaps not during takeoff). The float shutoff valves which are supposed to stop this happening don't always seal properly with fuel sloshing around. The fuel comes out of the naca scoops. I've seen overfills during refuelling which is definitely a cause for concern. Not be be confused with vapour trails.

Fighters dont use it only for training. In the video, the fighter is a F16 which will never be used on an aircraft carrier. In the past, there were Aircraft Arrester Barrier on military airport. This is used to stop the aircraft in case of an aborted take-off or an emergency landing. This has been replaced with the mentioned gear arrester which is cheaper, causes no damages to the plane and needs less maintenance (there were inflatable cushions to keep the barrier straight. When folded, sometimes an aircraft at landing was touching the cushions and brake them).

We did this human towing (Handschlepp) in paragliding school (one pliot "flying", two persons towing) for winch starts, as it gives a feeling for being pulled upwards into the air instead of running down a hill and then gliding down. (Even when soaring/using thermals the flight path goes downwards, but the air is rising faster than the gliders sink rate.) It also was a good training for the use of the release mechanism.

[@kirkula]

9:51 you're the expert, I'm just making some semi-educated guesses on this...but I would think that having the door open would help in multiple other ways as well. Creates more drag on that side to counter some of the friction from the landing strut on the ground. Also, it would shift more weight to that side....but I just googled that plane and it only has the 1 door, so there's no option for the reverse if it's the right gear missing :-D

[@gustavonilson]

@13:05 - Its actually simpler than a pressure relief, Joe... Its is true that the 727 has its wings tank full and here is what happened: Since he is turning to the right, the fuel on the left wing will, due to centrifugal force, try to push to the outer tip of the wing where a fuel tank vent is. The vent is a simple hole that allows air to enter and leave the tank so that you can fully fuel it and allow the fuel to the pumped out when needed (try sucking a liquid from a closed bottle - impossible). The fact that there is an open vent at the tip, plus the full tanks, plus fuel being pushed out has this effect :-) BTW, it still gushes out a bit after traveling forward since all of the momentum of the fuel inside the tank.

[@Chris80]

19:50 My concern: Engine no. 2 and 3. stopped because of a no fuel situation. As the airplane went up again, he tried to stopp the ascent to prevent a stall. As he pushed the elevator forward nose down, the airplane was in a zero g or even negative g situation. In that moment the carburators of engine 2 and 3 failured.

The bird on the windshield was probably a hawk the falconers hired by the airport use to scare away smaller birds. You can see the straps on the bird's legs and a guy on the tarmac trying to call him back. My friend has a Harris hawk, which is awesome. Unfortunately he doesn't work for an airport, which kinda sucks XD

19:58 RC flyer here. When I was in the military, was in the aerial target team that flew target planes for ground based weapon platforms to practice aerial target shooting on. The planes were ~2m wingspan glassfiber shelled planes with a normal 2 stroke RC engine in the front (nitromethane I believe it used, I'm personally electrics guy). Why did the engines stall on the go-around? Most likely the carburetors got flooded, which kills the engine. The way we used to shutdown the engine during landing was to lower the throttle to zero, let the propeller spool down to the lowest speed which still caused the engine to run (might have been fuel due to vacuum), then you would go full throttle and this would cause the air/fuel-mixture to become so rich that it wouldn't ignite, aka inject too much fuel to the cylinder and this would cause the engine to stall pretty reliably. I think the same happened here, lowered throttle for landing, engines spool down and then with that panic pull-up they applied full throttle and choked number 2 and 3 out.

[@davidbates7429]

Only once did I have to do a low flyover because of animals. Coming into land at Cameron, MO. USA airport which is uncontrolled when about 8 deer walked out on to the runway. Startled a bit at first but just doing a low passover scared them back. Just glad it wasn't right after touchdown.

The 727 fuel dump out the surge tank was nothing compared with what we went through with fueling a 747SP for a JFK/NRT flight. Crew members couldn't get enough fuel and we always pulled the overflow protection fuse, went down to one truck and one hose and even choked that hose. Still we ended up dumping fuel and the Port Authority was not happy especially if the fuel went down one of the drains. We ended up fitting long hoses to the surge tanks and connected to a 250 gallon fuel bowser to collect the overflow. Especially fun in the summer when the specific weight of a gallon of fuel was light.

For the last one, if I had to guess, the sudden acceleration from the go-around maneuver probably shifted the fuel just enough for the 2 & 3 engines' fuel lines to not be submerged and the engines starved. A real shame, such a beautiful RC plane.

Greetings to Isny, it was a nice little town in the 80s with lot of young people and a great mixture of traditional and progressive minds. I hope it is still cool.
