I think flight attendants have extremely difficult jobs, and we don't give you enough respect. You are servers, bartenders, dealing with unruly passengers in the worst possible environment, watching for potential threats, and simultaneously, you are responsible for our lives. As a former bartender on the ground, I can't imagine doing that 1 job in the air, especially when you don't know how much people have been drinking at the airport. Then there are the people who yell at you at the airport because yelling at the person responsible for your flight, seating, and safety is a great idea? I fly often, I'm always SO kind to the cabin crew and typically bring a small gift or just a card. I often get free drinks and better seating for being a lovely passenger, but it's not why I do it. It's respect. People are tired jerks to you guys. A simple, written, " Thank you for what you do," is always met with so much appreciation by the cabin crew. You clearly just don't hear it enough. So, THANK YOU for what you do!

I worked as a mechanic of bush planes in northern ontario (Canada) for several years. One time I took a flight in one of our 206's on floats to recover another of our planes that was stuck at a remote lake due to a mechanical problem. As we accelerated down the lake for takeoff, I noticed that the pilot had placed his left hand on the strengthening bars that crossed the windshield. I noticed that the paint was worn away from him holding onto it. I commented about how he had taken his hand off the throttle and grabbed the bar. He told me that he did it every takeoff. Many years earlier he was on takeoff and the seat rolled back on the seat rails. That didn't result in a crash, but it scared him so badly that he always grabbed onto something solid for every takeoff.

[@N0d4chi]

@@MentourPilot What would happen if the pilot falling backwards jolted the stick left or right? Would the controls respond too quickly for the copilot to adjust back so the plane would pull off the runway?

[@JanCiger]

@@N0d4chi "Jolting" the yoke sideways wouldn't likely do much (when the seat collapses you pull back, you don't turn the yoke), plus the plane was still too slow for the ailerons to have much effect. However, he definitely could lose yaw control because his feet lost position on the rudder pedals which control turning of the plane while still on the ground. Otherwise - pull the yoke with you backwards -> yank the plane into the air at too low airspeed, stall, spin, crash and die. Or if you get lucky then you only lose yaw control while still on the ground and run the plane off the runway, most likely hitting something. Lot of general aviation accidents happened because of this (seat either collapsing or shifting backwards) and checking that the seat is secure is in most general aviation plane pre-flight checklists for this reason.

Other channels cover air crash investigations as well, but I feel what really sets this channel apart is the level of care taken to educate us about expected or normal processes and basics of aviation. That way we can completely understand what went wrong and can fully comprehend the analysis and conclusions from the investigation. This means I not only learn what happened in this specific case, but can also apply that understanding to other situations. This has demystified air crashes for me and has given me so much more appreciation for the expertise and professionalism of flight crew. I credit this educational emphasis for keeping the conversation in the comments largely positive, as well-instead of the toxic environment that unfortunately permeates most KZbin comments sections. I’m grateful for the content of the videos and for the team’s efforts in creating a welcoming and positive community.

Cessna had this problem about 20-30 years ago, somebody crashed and suffered serious burns after his seat slid back on takeoff. It was some insanely large lawsuit, many tens of millions. That’s why the checklist spells out checking the seat is locked prior to take off. Since hearing that story, I’ve always been diligent about that step

[@neuropilot7310]

When I was learning to fly in a Cessa, about 25 years ago, it was a common and well known issue. Typically before engine start, and before takeoff we'd ensure seat rail, and recline (if applicable) were locked firmly. Usually if not locked, the seat would only slide back a little before locking into the stop, and not full aft, but still enough to startle the pilot.

Your story reminds me of a flight I had. I was the co-pilot on a 747 ( i think it was a 747F but not sure) A three man crew, pilot, co-pilot and a flight engineer. We were leaving Narita at night. The taxiway that leads onto the runway is a very gentle curve so that when your finally on runway heading during the takeoff your going about 60 kts. On the three man 747 the pilot flying sets t/o pwr announces take off thrust and has his hand on the throttles while the engineer also sets the power and monitors the engines The Capt I was flying with was a short pudgy guy who never stopped talking. During the rolling takeoff the Capt`s seat came loose from the seat track lock and rolled back and outboard. (On this model 747 the capts seat track after coming straight back about 18 inches it then curves left and moves about 8 inches outboard while continuing back. ) WE must have been doing 120/130 kts. I looked over and the capt was waving his little arms and legs but couldn`t reach any of the controls. I took the controls and continued the t/o. After we got up into the air and I had retracted the gear and was working on raising the flaps the engineer pushed the back of the capt`s seat with his left foot and the capt rejoined us. He sputtered why didn`t you do do do something? I told him that I was busy flying the aircraft. The shut him up for quite a while. I had not thought of that for over 30 years. Good times.

[@tomclark6271]

During my primary flight training and while flying solo a C150, my seat back broke just as I was climbing through 500' to avoid the terrain on takeoff. Thankfully, I had just trimmed the airplane for the climb out, so when I fell backwards and released the yoke (lightning reflexes) the airplane continued to climb at Vx. It took several seconds of grabbing for anything other than the control yoke to pull myself upright. Once I got myself stabilized, I turned towards home plate and radioed for a straight-in approach, about three miles. Upon safely landing I inspected the seat and discovered the broken stop tabs that had precipitated my predicament. When all was said and done, the repair of the seat caused an AD for that particular type seat installation, which was vastly better than an NTSB recommendation following what could have been a fatal accident.

Hi there Mentour, just wanted to thank you for all your time and dedication making these videos, they are incredibly valuable for those of us who aspire to learn from mistakes we could’ve done and become better pilots. I have no doubts when I say that in a realistic day-to-day scenario I would’ve probably made the same mistakes as these pilots without realizing how severe they were till I landed and actually took a look at the aircraft. I also love your perspective when you analyze these incidents or accidents and never turn them into a drama showcase, but instead you make of them a learning experience, without pointing fingers at people responsible for it, which is really hard but, after all, the goal here is to learn how to prevent those mistakes. It doesn’t matter if you fire the pilot responsible for an incident, another pilot could end up making the exact same mistakes if you don’t implement solutions that get to the root of the problem.

[@nathaniel8925]

Focusing on the Captain recovering his seat for a moment. I am extremely uncomfortable with his decision to retake the controls at that point. The First Officer has the control and there is no way to know if the seat issue is going to happen again. The Captain should in my opinion have continued as pilot monitoring and should have scanned all flight instrument settings to confirm they were set as intended. I think he actually put the flight at risk by retaking control when he did.

[@dl1027]

Maybe. But it was the FO's incompetence that really put the flight at risk.

[@ditzygypsy]

Yeah, I thought the story was going to end up being that the seat problem happened again, because that’s what I’d expect it to be likely to do. Can’t understand why he took the controls either.

[@Drakkyzz]

[@ranchalita]

@@dl1027 Although either pilot should have spotted it, I think it's the captain that has more of the blame. He should have re-checked the things he grabbed on the way down after he got up. If I got it correctly, FO only had control for about 5 seconds.

[@endokrin7897]

Ehhh.. you can be "extremely uncomfortable" with the Captain retaking controls all you like, but IMHO, that's not THE main issue. The biggest issue is that the pilots didn't follow the checklist for a tail strike. Had the strike been a bit more forceful, they could have had an explosive decompression and fallen to earth. They never should have climbed up to a flight level. It's a simple three-step checklist, but it boils down to this: If there is a tail strike, don't keep flying; land right away. Simple.

[@Kevin_747]

Nice presentation. I only flew the 737-800 around 1200 hours. Now I'm going to my basement to dig out my manuals. I do remember the QRH Tail strike checklist though. The only pilots that had a tail strike at my airline were the Chief Pilot with the 737 Fleet Manager in the right seat. Watch out for those management pilots that never fly. In the case of this crew, a four hour leg after they were told of all the damage shows the poor judgement of the capt. They had a good airport to return to and many suitable along that route. Easy for me to judge from my keyboard but I do have 29K hours of no accidents, incidents or violations.

[@mk177]

this was simpler to disect imho: was everything really normal ? Their answer to that question should have been a sound no, which should lead them to make the decision to land at the nearest airport so I would agree with your infront of the keyboard judgment as I assume you are smarter/wiser than to lie to yourself in situations like these. Good day sire

I found this channel a few weeks ago and have watched a number of the videos. They’re all fascinating and very well made, with absolutely superb storytelling and graphics. (These videos even got me through my colonoscopy prep day, which is saying a lot! :) I really appreciate Petter’s positive attitude and commitment to teaching. This video is my favorite so far. The pilots’ insistence on continuing the flight as if they hadn’t just flown through a brick wall demonstrates an almost comically absurd level of denial. It shows one of the cognitive distortions the human mind is capable of under severe stress. I’m just glad their wishful thinking and lack of common sense didn’t result in a disaster. Also - I love seeing your dogs in the videos! I have a chihuahua-poodle mix puppy named Sally Ride (after the astronaut). Sometimes she watches the videos with me and seems to notice the dogs. :)

Calling it a "tail strike" might be too charitable. It crashed into the localizer array and then the perimeter wall, and the pilots were told this but continued on anyways. I would call this extreme and disqualifying recklessness, and that's not even getting into the failure to reject the takeoff.

Normaly one person can handle each part but if there is a rush of customers we are taught to call for assistance to keep the turn around time low. Then there are our versions of a "crisis". Equipment down? there is a checklist document for some and back up equipment for most others. Customer Complaint? There is an acronym! Values and priorities? There is an acronym! Safety? There is a dumb as bricks phrase (I love it and I am obnoxious with it). Some of my co workers have gotten lax about all the procedures and you can bet that is causing conflicts, but the managers love that people (no I am not the only one) pushing the bar back up to where the standards are supposed to be.

More like human nature to reduce perceived harm. They knew they were in it deep by their comments toward the end of the flight. Natural reaction would be to at least accomplish the proper flight, lessening the issue of the tail strike. But that self-preservation placed all of their lives at risk. They would be in trouble for a tail strike at any airline. Continuing the flight compounded the error, and I suspect would work against them, whereas if they had just immediately returned they could have said that “stuff happens” and after the weirdness of the seat collapse they tried to make everything right.

Look at the photos it's not just a brick wall it's a concrete reinforced brick wall

[@dantc2403]

Someone forgot about Japan Airlines 123 or China Airlines 611. Everything's fine after a tail strike until it goes pop.

Because the oil pressure and coolant temperature was normal. You know, like after you hit something in the road like tire spikes, but the speedometer still works so you know you can just floor it and go about your day.

@@ED-es2qv some cars have tire pressure sensors

@@ED-es2qv Seriously, a lot of people probably do that. Maybe I'm a little more safety-conscious than most, but if I hit anything that seems hard (metal, wood, stray chunk of concrete, etc) I actually stop at the earliest opportunity and do a quick examination...I'm wanting to make sure I don't have massive gaping sidewall damage with cords showing, a busted condenser, oil leaking out from a broken oil pan, etc. Any of those could be a small or slow leak which wouldn't show up immediately, but could be catastrophic when it eventually goes. It's *insane* to me to think that someone flying a 737 full of passengers wouldn't exhibit even a fraction of the care that a regular person might about their car, particularly when they knew without a doubt that they hit something massive.

Haha the face when you talked about how rugged the 737 is😂👍🏼Just like a freaking B-17😂 Great video!

Always a pleasure to see your fuzzy co-hosts! I am so amazed at how this went basically fine, but could have gone so much worse.
