They actually go to the trouble to zero in on the faces of the passengers screaming. They have actors portray everyone on the plane from the pilots to the flight attendants to those poor soon to be dead passengers. Bravo and please keep up the good work.

Because of the servoed nature of the Boeing auto throttle to move them with the thrust, the engineers decided to make the GA activation based on pressing a switch (TOGA), whereas Airbus requires you to firewall the levers. The former, as it turns out, is a recipe for disaster, on more than one occasion.

[@dbclass4075]

The latter is an option for the former, though. But that also means it becomes (temporary) manual thrust (THR HLD) instead of TO/GA.

[@michaeladams9629]

This was used on the OLD C141 Lockheed Starlifter as well, worked fine.

[@robd2184]

Not strictly true - it works fine normally. Once you get below a certain RA, the GA doesn’t work , so you firewall the power , pitch up, then press toga and it should come back to normal. Once you touch down it’s a baulked landing rather than a pure GA

[@piotrkuler2474]

always keep your hand on the throttle .. simple solution

[@mrrobotnica]

@@robd2184 I think the problem with the switch is that it introduces ambiguity into the system. In most go around scenarios on the Airbus the solution is to put the thrust levers into the TOGA detent, unless if you were doing a descending missed approach. In the Boeing, the problem is that with the auto throttle active, the primary means to activate TOGA is by using the button. And thus you introduce ambiguity when it comes to certain critical scenarios, especially under high workloads in marginal weather. It’s a poor philosophy left over from the old days, which Boeing is beholden to because of ‘continuity’.

It's said overall death rate of air transport has been consistently the lowest. It just intuitively seems not the case due to risk perception. Of course also the highest effort goes into aviation.

[@sadiqjohnny77]

When I was instructor and check pilot on DC 10s and B747s, I always advised my trainees to do MANUAL Go Arounds: Push the throttles forward, Call "Going Around--set flaps!" and rotate to 10 degrees up initially (to avoid a rear fuselage scrape. ANY aeroplane will definitely go around using this procedure. Using the autos like TOGA so near to the ground is not necessary. At least two accidents have been blamed on failures due to wrong settings of the auto throttle system . The system can be re engaged at a safe altitude. The pilot landing should always keep a hand on the throttles until the plane is safely down.

Upon entering back into the pattern I radioed the tower and let them know about the wind shear. I then told them that I would be on a 3 mile long Long Final. I was amazed as I greased it on.

[@cindysavage265]

I lived in Houston when the Atlas Air plane crashed. I couldn't believe the prelim reports about weather being the reason. Rain in Houston in Feb does not come from thunderstorms. It comes from stratus clouds locally generated by our humid air. The difference between "green" and "yellow" is about a 1/2 inch per hour more rain. Spacial disorientation and panic makes more sense. And, as to why the captain did not re-assume control? Well, the major carriers make their pilots retire at age 60 for a reason....

Why didn’t the nose gear land at first attempt? I don’t understand what was keeping it in the air?

This is a good question but I think it must have been because the wind was shifting a lot and it started blowing fast towards the plane holding the nose off the ground. I would guess maybe if the pilots stepped on the brakes possibly it would have been ok? But I suppose the pilot just thought going around would be safer.

[@daapdary]

At 5:43, could they have extended the speed brakes to bring it down? Then full brakes and reverse thrusters to screech to a stop. Also, reducing flaps would reduce lift, putting more weight on the wheels for better braking (but also reduced drag, making the plane harder to stop).

I wonder if it could be argued that the more experience a pilot has actually increases the risks of spatial disorientation episodes.

[@Valor_73737]

This crew made several mistakes on this approach. Two major ones! Apparently airline policy of reliance on Auto Throttles was one! In varying wind condition the reaction time of the ATs usually lags behind the needed adjustments! Pilot flying should have had his hands on the throttles during entire approach from the moment he took manual control of the aircraft, and disengaged them the instant the ATs got behind! In erratic wind changes thrust changes need to be quick and aggressive at times! ATs can not do that! This is an example of over reliance on auto systems which always lead to deterioration of piloting skills! (I always hand flew the aircraft below 10,000 feet) The second mistake was attempting to land with a tail wind component exceeding 10 knots! Don't know what the max certified tail wind component for the 777 is, but I doubt it exceeds 10 knots! That is pretty much standard with Boeing aircraft. For anyone wondering about my qualifications, I have over 16,000 hours in all models of the 737 except the Max!

[@pixurguy4915]

The autothrottle system on the 777 is very good. Unlike the 737 system it is a dual channel system so a pilot can autoland with an inoperative engine. A pilot can land with the autothrottles on and the system reacts to most turbulence very well. If the winds were very gusty I would just fly ref+10 instead of ref+5. I always used autothrottles for landing and had my hands on the throttles just in case I needed to override them. The tailwind component for a 777-200 is 10 knots. For a 777-300 it is 15 knots. Emirates 521 was a 777-300. I was a captain on the 777 for 10 years. The problem this crew had was once the right gear touched down the weight on wheels switch (we called it the ground shift mechanism) switched from flight mode to ground mode and disarmed the autothrottles. So hitting TOGA wouldn't engage the autothrottles. Add to that the engines would have gone from flight idle to ground idle and the time to spool up the engines would have been increased. Whenever I did a go around I always had my hands on the throttles to make sure the autothrottles were engaged.

[@importantjohn]

It wasn't unreasonable for the Emirates captain to expect when he presses the TOGA button he gets full take off power. Seems like bad design for that switch to be overridden in any circumstances. It's sometimes pressed in urgent situations and should therefore always operate immediately. If it's sometimes pressed by accident then a simple 'audio warning' should solve that issue "Take Off Thrust Activated!" then the pilot can immediately deactivate if a mistake. Blaming the pilots for not 'scanning their instruments and not having situational awareness" seems like a bit of a cop out, given the stressful situation they were in.

[@luiggiparise8301]

Well, the copilot only job while landing is to check the parameters and the approach, so it's his fault to not let the captain know that they weren't with TOGA engaged.

[@HitechProductions]

When you press the TOGA switch you should keep your hands on the throttle levers to make sure they advance properly. Sometimes things don't work like they should, and that's why we need skilled pilots in the first place. :^)

[@a1nelson]

The inhibited TOGA is by design. What if the button were accidentally pressed on a taxiway or near the gate? Unexpected go-around power in close quarters has a even higher probability of damage, not just to the plane in TOGA, as also other people, buildings and planes on the ground. It a difficult corner case. There is no perfect answer. Though, it seems like good practice to firewall the throttles manually in real go-around, rather than assuming the autothrottle will always do exactly what you expect.

[@HitechProductions]

@@a1nelson Yup, and that's why you are supposed to place your hands on the throttles until you are sure the proper power setting has been attained, at a minimum.

[@ursodermatt8809]

yes, i would expect the toga doing all it is supposed to do. when you press that button you want to go up not down. and the toga button should be situated in a way it cannot be accidently activated. and also a warning given, like "toga activated" so they have an feedback. or if the toga button is pressed by mistake, you know what happened. this might be a boeing thing

[@WayneM1961]

Automation, fly by wire, call it what you will, was meant to reduce accidents by elliminating pilot error BUT, in situations whereby these systems have to be switched off or over-ridden for some reason and the crew have to go back to the "old fashioned" one flying one monitoring, the crew lacking "real time" hands on flying seem to produce these awful, but totally avoidable accidents. One thing did strike me as rather odd on the last accident airplane featured was, why the hell was the TOGA switch situated in such a position as to cause an accidental activation, and why did it not have an annuciation or a kind of gong/chime simular to the autopilot warning

767 is quite old. Doesn't have the attention of ergonomics in the same way as its successor does (777, 787, 747-8). 737 is an extreme example, as the cockpit design had barely changed since 1960s.

[@chendaforest]

Mentour pilot did a good breakdown of this crash and, iifc, struggled to see how it could have been accidentally activated. Although we will never know why for sure.

[@RPG-oh1yf]

It amazes me how many of these accidents where the pilot at the controls failed to realize the engines were not advancing. You have to wonder if the pilot was half deaf? It's fairly obvious when you press the thrust lever and the engines stay at idle by sound alone and I'm no pilot but I can tell the position of the throttles from any part of the cabin by sound alone.

[@findelka1810]

They must have been thoroughly distracted. Stress causes tunnel vision (and hearing) and you shut out lots of information. Even if they’re trained in all sorts of scenarios,( of which there are 50.000), time to act is VERY limited, often less than a minute to identify the problem and act on it. People are also not equally bright in each part of the day, if there is lack of sleep or many other contributing factors, all that can cloud the judgement. And last but not least, if you don’t expect the TOGA switch activated, you won’t think of it. I thoroughly agree, there should be an aureal warning if it’s activated.

[@daftvader4218]

@@findelka1810 There is a very visible THRUST indication right in front of your eyes on the main mode indication panel...right in front of your eyes!!!.. This shows you have go around thrust. That is .... TRUST TOGA TOGA The power levers moving under your right hand AND an engine roar AND an increase in energy are also great indicators... .Unless you are a total idiot !!

[@flustic]

respect to the fire fighter, he sacrificed himself for 300 people

[@dullonion797]

Yee gads…I watch a lot of these and an alarming number of crashes because the aircrew(falsely) relies on autopilot or auto throttles to save them. NOT an airline pilot but have 5000hrs plus of tactical USN fighter time…..go around? Autopilot AND auto throttles OFF….push throttles forward!!! Yikes.

[@LaurenThompsonIsMyRealName]

Right! The first thing you do, click click and click click. Autopilot and autothtottles off.

[@krashd]

Sadly the protocols are written by the airline, which astounds me as you would think there would simply be a "correct way to fly a plane" procedure book, but no - the pilots must do what they have been instructed to by their airline.

[@sabotage4582]

Bro it is so crazy to see a airport of your country no STATE and i really was like amazed.

[@MajDuty]

First flight, they rely on the enabling of the go around switch to automatically advance the thrust levers. I don't care if this is procedure how does any competent pilot not have his hands on those levers and shove them forward if you're going to attempt to go around and then how do they not tell what's going on when it doesn't advance?

[@good2golden803]

Mentor Pilot has a very knowledgeable take on this crash too.

[@michaelanthony3776]

I only fly 172s but A/T seems counterintuitive to the landing sequence of a flight so that you can respond to changing conditions.

[@billmorris2613]

Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 4 Dec 21.

[@tilethio]

This are a very sad accidents which are caused due to heavy reliance on automation. What did we learn from this accidents?

[@SaahajMattey]

dont rely so much on automation LOL

[@space0015]

Automation is good if you know how to handle it

[@jaimhaas5170]

How can you be a pilot and not "feel" the throttle increase when you expect it? I liken this to a any good auto driver and you are going to KNOW when your throttle does not respond.

[@krashd]

Exactly, not only that but the difference in noise between idling engines and throttled up engines is as clear as night and day.

[@ernestst.charles7771]

So LH procedure "Hand Flying, A/T Off" is not wrong after all..

[@manasraj5909]

I have seen both videos👍👍..keep it up

[@simplelifelost]

Wonderful animation. I got a visceral repossessed deep down when that 767 impacted the ground, as if I was actually at the controls.

[@SAL-9000]

The second crash affected me so much because the tub of Vaseline I had ordered from Amazon Prime never reached me and I was left with dry skin for weeks. I still wake up in cold sweat thinking about this incident.

[@hksp]

is blancolirio flying those same type of 777 ?

[@theairplanegeek]

Is the Last to Fall track non copyrighted, or does it need some sort of licensing?

[@Penshraf]

Which one is that?

[@toocooldarr_17]

Oh Yes I enjoyed this so much

[@matsetizar65]

Was in a flight once and it was just before landing. I believe the plane was in a holding pattern as it was doing a fair number of turns, definitely not final approach. There was a sudden violent acceleration out of the blue, no turn and no change in altitude, definitely not a go around. No runway in sight and we were still high up. I've never experienced this before. The pilot did come on the PA but couldn't make out what he was saying, probably just to apologize. To this day I don't why he did that and could only theorize to avoid another plane. Any ideas? Also, I've probably been on 50 flights in my life and have never encountered a go around. Statistically how frequent is it, one in a hundred?

[@seanpellegrino2989]

I'm not a pilot but I have been in a go around as a passenger. It was due to the traffic ahead of us being too slow for the A330 we were in to keep safe space ahead for the approach to be allowed to continue. It was a rather light A330 by then and the go around messed with my head, and made me feel as if the plane was pitching up much higher than it was. The statistics I heard for go arounds related to this Emirates incident are they happen on average once annually for a commuter pilot, about once every five years for a medium haul pilot, and once every ten years for a long haul pilot.

[@findelka1810]

I flew as cabin crew for about 3 years. I had 3 go arounds: 2 on the same flight which was diverted in the end as we couldn’t land due to weather conditions, and I remember another one. I had one aborted take-off during the same 3 years. So it’s pretty rare.

[@tanishac10]

I don't think it's rare here in India, especially from mid June-September. I've been in a go around as a passenger quite a lot of times. Even in good weather and I frequently fly from India's one of the busiest airports which is Mumbai, so during normal weather it's because of heavy air traffic.

[@jasmanyyirai7344]

Are you guys going to do an episode on the Amazon prime flight accident in Houston Tx back 2019 I think ??

[@dayaanvora5299]

sometimes knowingly, unknowingly your fate is sealed by the aircraft manufacturer and nature which makes it a deadly combination

[@sagenhansda7489]

I want to know the name of all the soundtracks you add in your videos. Your choice of soundtracks is awesome.
