I got really confused during the first video when after they landed the narration stated the pilot called a pan pan to baltimore. Nice to see it fixed so quick!

[@John-et9yl]

Aviationaccidents Great video. It would be good to know what safety recommendations came out from the Investigation Report and if the recommendations were accepted and implemented. E.g. was there a recommendation addressed to Rolls Royce to redesign the flitering system to make it more robust and effective against saltwater contaminants? I assume a study was made to ascertain which flights uploaded the same contaminated fuel and why those flights didn't end up in the same predicament.

[@stingray-otto]

There's still another error, but perhaps you can be forgiven for it. The graphics used in the video are for the A330NEO, which first accomplished a commercial flight in 2018. The accident happened in 2010, and therefore, the correct type at that time was the A330CEO.

[@BurlyMammoth]

A&P/Mx Controller here. It is situations like these that frustrate. If we have to exercise QRH with a flight crew, it is imperative to seek divergence/ODI. A two engine aircraft with an engine in Rx means we have lost our only redundancy in the Powerplant system. Safety MUST always be vital, schedule be damned. These scenarios are saddening. While I’m fine deferring per GMM/SOP, the rapport between the crews and us to ensure proper & safe operation in safety of flight is paramount. A loss of motive fuel function is terrifying, much like fuel or critical flight control surface icing.

[@phillee2814]

It isn't really Rolls Royce's problem, but that of the works contractors being careless in letting SALT water into the airport refuelling system, with possibly the need for some kind of detector in the pump vehicle to make some subtle indication of the salt, like maybe large flashing beacons visible to all sides and loud klaxon horns alternating with a voice shouting "DANGER, FUEL CONTAMINATED", in English and the local language. You know, the kind of thing that will allow the operator to correct the problem without anyone else realising!

[@gardenstate235]

How come only 1 aircraft was affected with this contamination at the airport?

[@phillee2814]

The first to load fuel from that branch of the fuel piping after the contamination, and they got the lot. They only tracked it back through the fuel metering valve deposits, the destroyed filter where they'd uploaded the fuel, and trace deposits.

[@freecommercial]

Did any other planes get the same fuel?

[@John-et9yl]

The exact same question l was going to ask. I assume other flights must have been affected by the same contaminated fuel but not to the same extent. Perhaps because of a different filter design? Hopefully some research was undertaken to see what aircraft uploaded the same contaminated fuel and why they didn't end up in the same predicament.

[@skeezixmccat]

My guess is this wasn't just a one time thing. It must have gotten bits of bad fuel here and there that went well beyond expected tolerances. Other flights may have gotten some saltwater too, but limited exposure. I'm just guessing but that's how I interpreted it

Amazing response from the pilots. I'm surprised this only affected Cathay though. Surely other aircrafts that day must have had the same contaminated fuel. Overall, it does sound like cathay's engine failure protocols were also at fault. With repeated engine issue signals, plane should have turned back much earlier.

[@vinumathew-dp1ny]

15:27 what would happen if they did a cobra meneuver? Would it just not work?

[@micaarzur]

I'm sure there's a reason why, but why couldn't they just set the master switch for engine 1 to off? Also, at the beginning of the video when you ask "Will they be able to safely land the plane?" It kind of spoils that they will indeed be able to safely land, as you wouldn't have said that if they crashed and died.

I don’t miss being an airline pilot.

[@dasbootsassa]

Would you please elaborate on this? I’ve recently done some research and have come to conclusions I don’t want to believe, because I like to travel. But risk/reward I’m not so confident since those reports that came out about Bowing

[@nick39]

@@dasbootsassa ​​⁠ Airline travel is statistically safe. However, there are still statistics… if you know what I mean. The airline industry has vastly changed since my career started and ended. Airline personnel are still highly trained and aircraft are still highly maintained. But the industry would wide is in a very dynamic transition. There are many factors at play. One example is that during the COVID panic, airlines offered their senior more experienced pilots early retirement packages. This was due to the expensiveness of them being at the top of the pays scale. Flight school has continued to greatly increase in price… to the tune of well into the six figures. It’s been that way for a while which has deterred many people from pursuing it over the years. There is an unimaginable passing of the torch.. so to speak in every aspect of the entire operation. New/green( inexperienced) people in all of the positions that require experience. ATC, maintenance, dispatch, pilots etc. everyone has to start somewhere… but in years past. There was more of a mentoring philosophy. The experienced personnel taught the new, less experienced personnel. Example: when I was a brand new pilot, I would fly with pilots with thousands sometimes tens of thousands of hours. Now you have a lot of inexperienced people working with inexperienced people. It used to be that you gained experience by learning from the folks that had it. To go to the major airlines you had to fly for smaller airlines as a First Officer (co-pilot), then upgrade to Captain, gain thousands of hours of experience then you could apply to the major airlines for a co-pilot position. Now they have GREATLY lowered the bar. You can be fresh out of flight school, gain the ATP minimum hours (1500) get hired as a copilot with a 121 operator gain another 300-400 hours and get hired by the majors….totally bypassing the requirement to upgrade to captain and gain PIC experience.. this was un heard of in the old days. So the bottom line? You have a lot of inexperienced people doing a job that requires a lot of experience. Me personally… I’ll never fly again. I’m not saying I was the greatest, most experienced. I retired with about 15,000 hours. I was average at best. But in defense of the industry. They do train with high standards and proficiency. I think overall it’s still the safest way to travel. I was always a nervous flyer if I wasn’t flying.😅 lol BTW, I had quite a few emergencies during that time…that’s where the experience of being mentored and working my way up the ladder paid off… otherwise I could have easily made world, headline news. Not the way I would want to become famous.

[@lylehoward5277]

One question comes to mind. When I was getting a pilots license, one of the most important parts of the pre flight checks was to get a fuel sample out of the fuel tanks in the wings. It seems this would be something that an airline would do as well. Wouldn't the pilots have to take a look at the fuel samples? There is no mention that this was done. Was this a pilot oversite? It seems this would be standard operating procedure.

They, humans, haven't been through something similar and didn't know what was best. I still don't know what's best... Immediate, abrupt, loss of thrust could be chaos

[@RodsFromGod_26]

I was thinking the same. Shut it down, lose altitude and glide it in for a controlled landing. Pilots should practice more all engines out gliding and landings at least in the sims. It seems they panic when they lose engine power. Coming from a hang glider pilot whose every approach and landing has to be spot on as we have no such thing as a missed approach-go around available. We get one attempt and that's it. You blow it badly enough and you're dead. BTW, ACI, another EXCELLENTLY produced video! I hope your channel blows up! MORE content PLEASE!
