Mayday: Plane Crashes Into the Water | Aircrash Confidential Ep 1

What would happen when pilots get confused by their own instruments on the airplane?
A modern airplane has increasingly sophisticated systems designed to protect the passengers from human error. But what if the technology from the airplane is the problem? In this episode of Aircrash Confidential you will see what happens when a pilot can no longer cope with the instruments of his airplane - and what we can learn to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

[@deliztube]

One thing I learnt from watching Mayday is that the Ground proximity warning system and the stall warning is almost never wrong

[@DIVADUCHESSE]

Indeed, I was thinking the same about the Peru flight. As airspeed and altimeter are calculated via the pitot tube and static port, who has we know can be blocked bij tape or insects... A little bit of trained pilot such give more believe to the GPWS as this is triggered bij the onboard radar.

[@evoman44]

That true. It's always shame that is the last saving grace pilots have flying at night.

Also I agree with your comments and I'd trust the stick shaker more than any other warning light

yeah cause the stall warnings and ground proximity warning come from systems that function separate from the air speed and altitude alarms sadly pilots trust air speed and altitude alarms over the stall and ground proximity alarms

I don't understand why some pilots fly a plane completely ignoring their co-pilots. The entire point of having more than two pilots is to help reduce human error. If one of them thinks the plane is going to crash, then you pull up and listen to them.

[@kelseywelsssy9735]

I feel it’s important to add that one of the victims who was a school girl (16 year old) Ye Mengyuan, was eventually found to have died as a result of one of the emergency response fire trucks. She had in fact survived being thrown from the initial crash, but unfortunately succumbed to her injuries from the second event occurring. (I imagine it was because of the huge amount of dust that had accumulated, almost camouflaged her with the ground.) This, no doubt, was incredibly devastating for all involved; including the response team who were just trying to do their best to help in what was an incredibly dire scenario. 🕊 RIP to all 3 victims: Ye Mengyuan (16), Wang Linjia (16), and Liu Yipeng (15). 🕊

Em she was already dead before the fire truck hit the girl according to the San Francisco city attorney's office.

[@steewith2ees14]

Having spent years looking back and back at this, I have reached the conclusion that this detail is in genuine dispute. While I feel that she was unlikely to have survived the ejection from the aircraft (as was the case with the other casualties) I also acknowledge that it is believable that an accidental death from ER vehicles could well have been played down or covered up. Its a mute argument IMO at this point but one that I still understand is always brought up.

@@trentarnold2670 I agree. There’s one accident that was partially caused by an over egotistical pilot who wouldn’t listen to his crew. It resulted in two planes from Pam-Am and KLM to slam into each other.

[@Powerranger-le4up]

It’s because their displays were showing different things since they didn’t do a final compass heading. Unfortunately, First Air didn’t properly train them in CRM since it was in the form of lectures rather than simulations.

[@TheXennner]

The most blatant one of these CRM issues was the Pakistan crash. The captain was berating the FO throughout the whole flight

[@AncientFlight1]

Three very important ops rules to do: 1. Always fly the airplane 2. Always cross check instruments when in either auto or manual mode and 3. Use checklists in every phase of flight i.e. A. Preflight, B. ground taxi, C. takeoff V1, V2, V3, D. Departure phase, E. Enroute phase, F. descent phase, G. Approach to landing phase. H. Ground ops to terminal phase.

[@jimbrown9817]

Too right. Rule #1 seems to have been the one ignored the most. If you can’t see and feel what your a/c is doing, then maybe more actual pilot time is needed. I’ve read a lot of comments by ‘heavy’ and fly-by-wire pilots that they get their ‘feel’ back by piloting small planes fairly frequently. Otherwise it’s just flying a desk with ‘a lot of gauges and stuff’. (-Thanks, Pearl Harbor) Any other pilots share or disagree with that opinion? I read a comment by a pilot who had a decade of C-5 flight experience yet got rejected by a 3rd rate civilian cargo company. Their HR clown basically told him his experience was unnecessary: “We’ll teach you how to turn on the autopilot.” If that’s where aviation is or is headed, that’s a shame. It used to be a proud tradition and an honorable profession where skill and calm courage were valuable. I salute those who flew when planes were designed, built, and flown by people who loved flying.

[@higherresolution4490]

Three excellent comments here. This might sound like a ridiculous analogy, but when you squat in the gym with heavyweights (a jumbo jet with passengers) no matter how many times you've done it, you must have 100% of your attention units on what you are doing, on your position in space and on the basic elements of your technique.

[@charlesrobinson5709]

This happens so much, The Captain is laid back and don’t want to listen to anyone because he’s done this for so many years. I used to run A Shuttle Car hauling Coal right beside A 10,000 Volt Continuous Miner Cable for 10 years without cutting it because I thought I was just too good. Then one day “WHAM” I cut it and the blue flame burned the hair off my arms, lol, We are human and we make mistakes.

[@jackwild1656]

If you have conflicting stall and overspeed warnings..keep the plane level with engine just below maximum thrust. Avoiding a stall is much more important than neutralizing an overspeed condition. In any event..as soon as something seems awry..no matter how trivial it appears..immediately contact ATC, squak a 7700, and find a place to land. Leave all troubleshooting to technicians on the ground. In planes, things escalate quickly from small problems to huge explosions.

[@maudbrewster9413]

Not a Pilot but was thinking the exact same thing. Overspeed is not immediately damaging the plane because there is some treshhold to the warning

[@TheAazah]

The problem is you got this training after the accident so you know how to do it. If you have 2 different warnings and require 2 different solutions. That's the point in this accidents so you can learn from it.

[@pirate3599]

Well the fact is when faced with such a conflict (both overspened and stall warning) all they have to do is look at their groundspeed, it's right in front of them all the time, this resolves the conflict IMMEDIATELY!!

Miss any one of those and you have to abort the landing, and that's a headache all around. That being said, it felt like the crew was relying too much on the machine to do the flying and the machine wanted them to step in and do it!

I see more of a future in the displays changing colour combined with audio warnings. Pretty much every modern airplane has displays instead of dials, so why not fully use the capabilities of those displays? - If a specific display shows everything is within parameters, show a neutral outline on that display. - If the parameters are suddenly changing without a manual input has been given, flash the display in warning and/or change the colour of the outline to yellow. - If the pilots don't respond or the parameters are really deviating from normal, flash the display and change the outline to red. Human eyes are very susceptive to flashing lights and colours, so use that to your advantage. A tiny line or a few letters on a display changing simply doesn't draw enough attention and thus the pilots might miss that change.

[@TheXennner]

The autopilot does give a loud warning when disconnecting UNLESS it’s in a mode where the disconnection is expected like final approach because a lot of the companies have a rule to disconnect autopilot and auto throttle and manually land.

As for the cop who cried - that dude is a hero with the type of humanity that gave him the strength to enter the wreckage and save people without giving a thought to his own safety - proving that the instinct for self preservation is outweighed by that of species preservation

This terrified me worse than if I actually flew. I've always been afraid of flying, and this is why!! I know the odds are low for a crash, but with my luck, I fear it will happen. I flew to Vegas from L.A. I started crying and the stewardess ended up putting me in first class to watch me. I was 25! But terrified! Fear of flying is real, and watch the video and tell me you weren't afraid .

@@grassysands8857 I’m sure it’s scary, but SFO is known for this approach, which is why I commented on it. There’s a reason it’s often talked about in terms of importance of skill.

[@rfarevalo]

There is nothing scary about water. It doesn't matter what is around the runway, desert, houses, flaming lava. What matters to the pilot is the runway. Water is one of the safest approaches.

[@E4_MAFIA]

@@rfarevalo it doesn’t matter how “safe” it is. A lot of people are terrified by the thought of really deep water. And no, that approach is actually a difficult one, as reported by foreign pilots. Especially after the sea wall crash happened there.

Aeroperú Flight 603 like Birgenair flight 301, Northwest Orient Airlines flight 6321, Austral Líneas Aéreas Flight 2553, and Air France Flight 447, not knowing how sensors operate and their failure modes can be catastrophic. In the case of a pitot-static failure, placing the thrust-levers at a known power setting is the default action, along with obtaining a visual reference ASAP.

[@Lady_hypoxia]

The first plane crash the captain was sitting on the right hand seat for a small training flight and then what he did wrong was not increasing engine power before the go around. And for the aeroperu flight accident was caused by tape over the sensor which they forgot to remove

I believe the engines were in idle so when they decided on go around and increased speed it was too late, it takes a while for the engines to spool up and there just was no time. Pilots being to depending on automation and also not helping when the Captain was junior and less experienced than the instructor captain.

[@paulazemeckis7835]

Love you YT handle!

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Asiana Airlines bears some of the blame because they often encouraged their pilots to depend on the technology as much as possible and rarely had their pilots practice flying by hand.

[@m.praise5467]

maybe an alarm should follow Disconnecting & switching of auto pilot so that those that those accidental errors can be encountered ( your now on auto pilot mode or your on manual mode) just like the terrain alarm. or maybe the Whole dashboard tuns yellow for auto pilot & green for manual

[@lovefootball94]

Everyone’s family on board should be compensated a huge amount for this stupid mistake that wasn’t the pilots fault !! From the start of this documentary you know the plain was a disaster and had huge malfunctions!!!

[@ericephemetherson3964]

In 2010 the Polish president and other 95 people were killed in the same circumstances. The pilot ignored the warning ''pull up, pull up, terrain agead, terrain ahead'' several times untill it was sink rate.

[@travelerforever8849]

I remember that too. The pilots were under great pressure to land and there was an officer that came with the president entourage in the cockpit. It actually distracted them.

[@YamiPheonix531]

Trust your senses and not the computer. Even if the crosswalk light/beacon gives you the all clear to cross the road make sure to double check and verify that no rogue driver is gonna cut you off or run you over. Cars with blind spot detectors and radar systems are nice features but are not replacements for the good old shoulder check.

[@ranjithshreyas]

Sad to see these mishap merely due to human error even though the pilot had the critical moments to overcome...I dont know whether my thoughts are correct or not ?. Whenever an autopilot is engaged or disengaged it should give an alarm to the pilot clearly saying that the autopilot is engaged/disengaged so that pilot can take the proactive actions. In the video we can clearly see that the flight control system was not showing any alarm (pls correct me if I am wrong) at the time when the pilot accidentally pressed the yoke (in the case of First Air), the pilot was not aware that the autopilot was actually disengaged. Also when the flight is approaching the run way and if the visibility is very poor even though all meter readings are correct, a high intensity(not harmful), what airports can do is to transmit a high intensity light beam to the air, kilometers away from the run way so that pilot will get an idea that they are almost near to the runway.

[@harlanddemel9339]

This is just a idea... I have seen many fatal crashers dew to masking tapes,, Forgetting to take them off... You could allways use a multicolored tape for this job, so that it'll be hilighted and almost impossible to miss...

[@5thdawg917]

This is why you gotta interrogate captain when entering the plane. I once said to the captain, lets have no maydays today. His smile faded to a dirty look

[@compphysgeek]

having additional training certainly is a good thing, but the problem here seems to be that the autopilot / autothrottle turned off without any visual or audible notification.

[@aussiedave1248]

Pilots should have noticed this tape on their preflight walk around, if they did one. History of static ports being blocked is regular and has been responsible for many accidents. Ice, tape, bugs, leaf matter, cobwebs all can cause a problem with the ports, pilots should be aware.

[@bhanuchirutha]

thank you automation .

[@josh76765]

There are many instances of planes stalling. So, is it not possible to have a parachute that can be deployed at a critical moment which can save a stalling plane and perhaps even soften a crash? What do you think?

[@janemiettinen5176]

If you can figure out unauthorized or accidental deployment, sure. Someone even had the idea to cut the plane in half when in trouble and bring it down by chutes, Im having nightmares just thinking how wrong it could go..

[@josh76765]

@@janemiettinen5176 what if we allow the parachutes to deploy only when the plane begins to stall? So no one should be able to open the parachute unless the speed of the plane falls below a critical speed ( only when the plane begins to stall).

[@setheTONEsportstalk]

That first one, it's amazing that wasn't much worse than what it ended up being (like one of the guys said in the film). When the initial crash showed I assumed nobody made it out until they started interviewing the survivors. I remember flying back home to Texas from Hawaii a few years ago and had to go from Hawaii to SF and flying into SF it was kind of creepy at least for me because I already have flying anxiety. You don't see the runway, just see all water but the plane is decending, of course they say on the overhead "prepare for landing" but still was wondering where the hell we were going to land lol. But ya that airport is a little wild if it's your first time landing there

Now i can say just by watching a plane flying in which direction itis going and how long its from runway and whats its altitude must be . Flying in air busis my biggest dream

[@deadman4952]

I think the most important modification required is to install a warning system when autopilot is disengaged

[@stephenmapeka7774]

There is that warning sound whenever autopilot disengages,

[@meme9492]

In the case of the earlier aircraft (from 12 minutes on), the issue that I first thought of is this: The aircraft systems can't be trusted. They are contradictory and confusing, but they had assurances from a completely outside source that they were stable in flight. I'm just wondering if it was just the psychological "tunnel vision" that kept the captain from telling the ATC the following: "We are declaring an emergency. On board computer system 100% unreliable; unable to determine altitude, airspeed or heading. Visibility zero. Request vector back to airport for an emergency landing. Be advised: we require ATC to serve as navigation and altimeter until we are within visual. Please advise." To be clear, I thought that ground radar was used for aircraft, not just returning information from the aircraft.

[@GeminiSeven43]

I cannot believe that the manufacturers of the aircraft are not mandated to have audible warnings that call out when something like the autopilot or auto-throttle are disengaged. I have watched many of these shows and seen many instances of aircrew bumping into something and having something disconnect leading to disaster. In a high stress cockpit environment everything that can help the aircrew know their status has to be there to make sure that something does not get overlooked, and it just is common sense to have audible warnings for this.

[@DK-lg7ti]

Also they should have Night vision glasees. Plus Take off and landing time check list must have Audio same time. So there are noway pilot can miss it. Plus stupid think. All pilot 99 percent depends on computer. They forgot how to fly manually. Its like Car GPS. I hate GPS WHILE driving. GPS YOU will loose our IQ

[@Agirmetal]

On Air Peru, don't the pilots know that control tower takes info from the plane's own instrument? Don't they have simulation scenarios where plane altimeter/speedmeter is false? I bet half of the people watching this video knew it before watching from other episodes.
