Outstanding video! I was on an old DC-8 that left Hilo Hawaii for a night flight returning to the mainland in 1968. Ditto experience. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft DROPPED. It just kept falling and I thought we might smack the ocean, but it finally leveled and resumed climb-out. Flight crew made no announcement or comment. Just silence, quiet terror. Nice video, sir! 🇺🇸💛🇳🇱

@@ce707f No, flight continued and without further incident. Very thankful then!

[@adotintheshark4848]

In 1974 at Clark AB in the Philippines, we were on a Flying Tiger DC-8, taking off on a hot afternoon. That plane used every inch of the runway to leave the ground, and I swear I could count the neighborhood cats and dogs as we skimmed low over the town before we gained enough altitude. I think if one of the engines had hiccuped, we'd have made national news.

[@Glen.Danielsen]

@@adotintheshark4848 Yes! My father was a principal engineer in cargo systems at McDonnell-Douglas during the time, and told me that cargo aircraft bore a heavier load than passenger editions. And yah, Flying Tiger Line was also using Canadair CL-44 swing-tail turboprops then. Fascinating airplane.

[@spicnspan320]

They actually did report it through an internal reporting system, which is what you’re supposed to do. The NTSB just doesn’t hear about it unless it gets reported to them. The only reason the NTSB investigated it is because it went viral months later. The internal reporting system is used to help train for future incidents.

[@SurviveTheDay]

This crew got behind the aircraft straight after takeoff. The flap setting error is not why the plane nearing crashed. It was one in a series of cascading failures. The FO made a number of communication and flight monitoring errors. There were a number of times the PIC briefly stopped aviating because he was troubleshooting. Know your role and do your job. And never forget for every command, there must be a callback and a confirmation.

[@MoiraOBrien]

is it not standard practice to repeat the command back as happens with ATC? That would have prevented to incorrect flap setting.

[@wilsjane]

Confirming an instruction should become a standard practice, particularly if it sounds unusual. In this case, either the first officer was not conversant with the aircraft, or he misread the dial. Personally, I think the latter was more likely and he thought that he had selected 5.

[@rc70ys]

I would agree repeat flaps …. Etc ! But human error happens the FO may have repeated Flaps 5 but still set it to 15 ? Possible?

[@wilsjane]

@@rc70ys The latter was what I suspected. The flaps lever is next to the throttles, so the "1" could have been concealed or in a shadow. The first officer was fairly new to the aircraft. He may have also been on a call to ATC at the time. He should have known the importance of flap positions as part of his training and also to give full concentration to flying over everything else.

United May have changed the training and emphasized communication but there is STILL nothing to prevent it from happening again. Also, anytime there is an incident where significant altitude is lost on takeoff, landing or during flight it should be made mandatory that its reported!!!!

[@Captain101-x1o]

Training and awareness is the correct solution here, it was purely pilot error. SOP’s only work if they are followed, CRM only works if there is effective communication. You can never prevent pilot error from happening again, only mitigate. EGPWS & UPRT were in place to save the day here. Of course if you know better than the experts feel free to share your recommendations. The FAA are a long way behind EASA on reporting. For a European operator that would definitely be a mandatory report, also the FDM programme is mandatory for airlines and would have picked that up, as would have ATC. The safety culture particularly when it comes to self reporting is much stronger within EASA and the UK.

[@PringlesCan-y7m]

failing to report an incident of that magnitude should result in a ban for both pilots.

[@gusmc01]

I suppose it's understandable (though not excusable) that the FO made the flap error because the flaps 5 setting is one notch away from the flaps 15 setting. If normal takeoffs used the flaps 15 setting, then moving the selector one notch to flaps 5 would have been his "normal" muscle memory reaction. Since this flight used the unusual setting of flaps 20, his normal action of moving the selector one notch only moved it to the flaps 15 setting. This is called expectation bias and it has caused numerous aviation accidents.

[@agauerm]

it's baffling that an experienced pilot would make such mistake of not looking at the damned control setting he is changing.

To me, the pilots should have returned to Maui after such a serious flight deviation, pulled the CVR and FDR breakers and let the investigation happen.

Oh just a normal day at the office they were meters away from hitting the ocean.

i understood that each command from the pilot flying had to be repeated by the pilot not in command, hence no confusion,,

[@tondog9070]

The whole "Flap Relief" system on the Boeings is a little confusing & most of us don't know the details unless we had an issue or worked the simulators as IP or you really really read & remember the FOM. You'll get the alarm on the EICAS but the automation won't take any action unless ur flaps 30' (I think), On top of that it's not uncommon during a sim check out to hear "what the heck is that" when the "Flap Relief" alarm indicates which is followed by the answer of "oh that's a flap overspeed" which is followed by the check rider saying "oh, why don't they just say that". This is sort of my recollection as I hung my wings up a few years ago but it can be confusing. On top of this I believe all Boeing ATC have six flap settings vs. Airbus four (320, 330, 340, etc.) so it's the less is easier approach for The French. The good news is it's confusing because many will go there whole careers and never even know the EICAS call out exists as the issue as seen in this video is incredibly rare.

[@ainstaink8312]

I am not sure what was so unclear...overspeed, pitch up - We did that in the early Cessna training. All the information was on the attitude indicator. Sometimes I wonder how some people get their pilot's license.

How did the PIC not see the flap indicator on his secondary PFD? Also poor CRM, the FO should have read back the command and confirmed flaps 5. This is a prime example of a crew being well behind their aircraft and compounding simple errors into a near unrecoverable condition

[@TrainerAQ]

I can tell you as a pilot flying a high speed jet. Our eyes can only physically focus on a spot about the size of a thumb stretched out at arms length. That's just how the brain and eyes work on a human body. This is why we are instead trained on how to scan our instruments when we fly, because it is very easy and deadly to focus on just one instrument such as an airspeed indicator during a flap overspeed. It's a good thing airliners have two pilots, because the other pilot, known as the pilot monitoring, doesn't have to focus on flying and can instead allow his brain to take in the full view of the cockpit and understand the whole picture of what is going on. To put it simply. It is like being on a highway on the side of a mountain with the driver trying to glace over and figure out if the stereo system was hooked up to his phone's Bluetooth or the passenger's. It works a lot better if the front seat passenger takes care of that while the driver focuses on scaning the road and instruments.

How they didn’t notice the wrong pitch? Is one of the basic things to check during climb.

[@ZeroNilNada]

Great video! This is super. I've got to say, that is probably the best rendered 777 I've seen. Very good quality models and really well done. Especially the wings. Most rendered models don't get them right, either missing the dihedral or, more often, not getting the "bent" in-flight shape added. Yours are perfect! Even the interior of the airplane is very accurate. And the double-plus chord fairing at the wing root is spot on! Something many people don't even know exists. A couple things got missed, however. Like when showing the liftoff, the brakes were bright red as if overheated. Not very likely on climb-out! The other one is that the airplane shown is a 777-300, not the -200. The -200 doesn't have an overwing exit but the -300 does. Those are really nitpicks, I admit, and don't really detract from the information. I just mention it so that those curious know what they're seeing. Overall, a great video. To the point, informative and accurate. As an aviation professional, I appreciate those who just give the facts in an informative way rather than the hype and drama. Keep up the good work!

Communication between the Pilots was important, The thing that got my attention was why the Pilots didn't report the nearly mishap once landed at California? When it comes to something like this, the ones taking responsibility of the 200 plus souls on flight 1722 should be held accountable. This is no slap on the wrist not to do that again. I fly United from Guam to Honolulu and back, from Guam to Saipan and back and from Manila to Guam. I myself and I am sure most passengers (souls) place our lives in the safety of the Airlines Pilots during our 8, 3.5 hours and 45 minute flight. In this flight something went wrong, and it seemed like it was going to be brushed off as if it never happened, this is my concern... If the error wasn't corrected on time and flight 1722 did crash who would let the families and friends of the (Souls) lost understand it was a simple error that brought the aircraft to its doom? I feel it's like telling a theif that is caught stealing not to do it again... I didn't know about this until I streamed through my KZbin account. I am happy that the United States NTSB is diligent with every and all incidents that occurred with U.S. airline companies. And that for the most part no one lost their lives that day of their flight.

With all of those instruments they already have, why don't they add one in bold bright letters, to let them know what flaps they are set for? It always seems that the other pilot just assumes that the one told to do this or that, just did it, without looking for himself.
