My daughter’s second last lesson before solos a plane appeared straight up from under her..it happened so quickly that her instructor who was looking down at paperwork on her clip board never saw the other plane at all, before or after. My daughter still had a year to wait before she could legally do solos anyway, so she was going to have to keep flying fairly regularly with an instructor, tho not weekly as she had..but, it scared her so much that it kind of blew her confidence and she never completed her license..she did beat cancer tho! But that’s a whole ‘nother story. The sad thing with midair collisions is that they do happen so quickly, and are so catastrophic..RIP Learjet Pilots.

"Boelcke". That's a crazy coincidence. Oswald Boelcke himself was killed when he lost control of his plane and crashed after another pilot flew into him. Boelcke was Germany's hero at the time and the other pilot was so distraught over the accident that he was found in his room later that day with his pistol in his hand. Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron himself) had to talk him out of committing suicide.

Allec, your videos are amazingly detailed & as far as I'm concerned, the best of any. Before a distant friend lost his battle to cancer, he told of a crash North of Denver of a 4 engine prop plane that nearly came down on top of them while they were out farming. They heard the craft taking off like normal & then a "pop" & the tail section separated. The engines slowed then reved & then shut down as the fuselage spun earthward directly at them. It was a bomb in the luggage compartment. The year? Probably in the mid '50's. Just a suggestion, but it too would make a very interesting video. Keep up your great work.

The tasks should be rendered more precisely? If this was a real event - the civilian pilot would not be involved in any preflight "rendering." This is 100 percent on the chasing aircraft to be able to react to whatever the civilian plane does. They can't count on the civilian pilot knowing what the plan was supposed to be. How stupid was that... it's 100 percent on the military pilot for not being in a spot where he could take evasive actions to avoid whatever the civilian plane does.

[@thefreedomguyuk]

That's basically what FAA says !

[@EichlerHawk]

While he should have kept the other aircraft in sight, it's just as much caused by the lear pilots continuing the turn after losing sight. They should immediately have reduced bank angle in order to regain sight, and if unable to do so roll out wings level

[@chiefcliff]

Fred Hawk he's a civilian hijacked pilot under complete stress of the situation - the Lear jet pilot simulated EXACTLY a scenario that the military pilot should have been prepared for... this is the entirety of the training - approach and unpredictable pilot and ascertain the situation without jeopardizing either aircraft.

[@EichlerHawk]

@@chiefcliff True. And had it been an actual real life scenario, I would agree that all the blame should be on the fighter pilot. However it was a training mission, and given that the Lear pilots were former fighters themselves, I think it's only fair to put at least some of the blame on them. Blind procedures are so critical in formation flying. They should have known better

[@Stubbies2003]

@@EichlerHawk While I do agree with how this played out being more on the Learjet simply based upon position (he was flying wing not lead and one of wing's main responsibilities is deconfliction) if that was the normal procedure it doesn't make much sense to have the escorting aircraft flying in a lead position (harder to see what the suspect is doing AND fly the aircraft) then the procedure needs to be modified. As the saying goes "train how you fight". Changing it up from training to real world just induces problems.

Asking if you can leave your damaged wingman to orbit the crash site doesn't seem like the kind of request likely to get an affirmative reaction from any pilot.

This accident comes to show that even in modern times, mid-air collisions are still, now and then, prone to occur, even with the best of experience, guidance, and technology meant to prevent that very sort of thing from occurring. In this case, I would most likely attribute the cause of the crash to an overloading of stress on the Typhoon pilot, limited visual range on both aircraft, and the absence of a last-second TCAS (that’s in my opinion, there may be plenty of other causes that led to the crash). Nonetheless, I hope that such a tragedy will never come to fruition again, and that those involved, both the survived and deceased, have hopefully moved on from the crash and are now living in peace. Once, again, excellent work Allec, and stay safe and jolly, everyone!

Was there a reason for the intercepting aircraft to be any closer than (maybe) 100 meters from the intercepted aircraft? This scenario required two dissimilar aircraft to fly close formation without communication or practice. It was a predictable incident.

[@maj0072]

Not to state the obvious but that's what they were doing practice and training. Once the classroom stuff is done you have to do as close to real life scenario as possible. It's a sad loss two men died but flying is by its nature dangerous and military flying more so.

[@keithtynan7469]

I believe that is the point of the question: what was the purpose or advantage of flying in close formation with the Learjet? The accident merely highlights the vulnerability of the aircraft to anything from accident to deliberate attack.

[@gerrycollins2335]

I suppose to add to the knowledge of what was going on inside the target's cockpit, you have to get as close as possible to see what the occupants are doing. In the end the target may have to be shot down, so any such information is valuable.

[@thefreedomguyuk]

It's been 25 years, so I'm a bit rusty, but can't be bothered looking up the details. There are FAA procedures for interceptions & deviations. As far as I remember, the procedure does instruct the intercepting pilot to keep a distance of min. 500 ft. to the target. The rules also very clearly specifies that safety throughout the entire encounter must be ensured by the intercepting pilot. So basically, the fast jet pilot had one priority, to keep a safe distance to the business jet. Sadly, he did not follow the procedures.

[@mikebronicki6978]

@@thefreedomguyuk exactly my thoughts. What is the point of intercepting a hijacked plane if you come so close as to bring it down by collision? I would say the German procedure needs to be changed to match the FAA procedure. The "hijacked" plane is not going to be prepared to fly in military formation.

Both flights had a quadruple engine failure and in flight 9, passengers could even see blue sparkling light shooting out from the front of the engines, in addition to full flaming exhausts. The cabin was filled with smoke and the windshield was opaque in both cases. There are even voice recordings of the pilots yelling in fear on frequency.

One plane was slightly above the other, and so neither pilot could see the other. There was a fireball, according to witnesses. All 8 people aboard the two aircraft were killed.

This was a very sad accident. A DHL cargo plane collided with a Tupolev coming from Moscow, en route to Barcelona for a school trip. When the collision was becoming inevitable, ATC instructions were contrary to the TCAS instructions, which of course confused the pilots. In Russian society they were trained to obey instructions of their superior, so they followed the ATC, while of course the TCAS system was telling them the only correct thing to do. In the aftermath a Russian citizen, who lost his wife and two children in the accident, killed the Swiss trafic controller. I've visited the crash site twice, when I was in the area.

Question from someone not in aviation or security forces. If the situation has to be so scripted how is this helping to prepare for a real life situation?

[@alex2143]

Also not in aviation, but my best guess is that you try to break something complicated up in smaller chunks so that you can teach and train the smaller chunks individually. The reason for the extensive script for the exercise is that exercises are written to test whether the people involved meet certain goals, and how they perform on different elements of a certain task. Devising a script like this allows you to evaluate performance in a more consistent, standardized manner. I’ve been involved in writing cyber security incident response exercises. Completely different field of practice, but I imagine the process is more or less the same. Edit: good question by the way!
