The landing was impressive, but the most difficult and impressive thing he did was abandon the approach to Teterboro and commit to the Hudson. Every bone in his body must have wanted that runway, but he knew he didn’t have it and committed to his only available option.

100%. And a Teterboro decision would have been one of worst aviation disasters in history. A fire ball would have consumed many people on the ground in addition to zero chance of survival by the flight. Instead, one of the greatest aviation achievements in history.

Thank Airbus engineers too: "US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320, experienced a dual engine failure after a bird strike and subsequently landed safely in the Hudson River in January 2009. The NTSB accident report[12] mentions the effect of flight envelope protection: "The airplane’s airspeed in the last 150 feet of the descent was low enough to activate the alpha-protection mode of the airplane’s fly-by-wire envelope protection features... Because of these features, the airplane could not reach the maximum angle of attack (AoA) attainable in pitch normal law for the airplane weight and configuration; however, the airplane did provide maximum performance for the weight and configuration at that time... The flight envelope protections allowed the captain to pull full aft on the sidestick without the risk of stalling the airplane."

@BartJ583 I see your point, but I'm a pilot myself, and while I've a fraction of his experience, I'd argue mastering your emotions and making good judgement calls is way harder than the physical flying. I'm a helicopter pilot and we have way more options on where to land in an emergency than fixed wing pilots do. Despite this there is still a huge impulse, which must be fought, to push to an airfield where there is crash rescue, facilities, etc. than to just land in some farmer's field and wait for hours for a recovery team. Many very experienced pilots make the wrong choice and defy explicit, memorized emergency procedures because they desperately want that airfield. I imagine this impulse is even greater for fixed wing pilots, as any landing not on an airfield isn't a controlled event.

Teterboro was out of reach from the very beginning. LGA Turnback was the option he passed to go to the Hudson instead. 24 simulations from Airbus with different pilots showed that. But from the beginning he wanted the Hudson. Bad decision.. But lots of luck..

Very impressive indeed but just so you know, ATC personnel actually don't "pick up a phone" even though that's what it seems like. They have a touch screen that has a lot of individual buttons they press for instant intra facility and nearby facility communications. At least that's how they're setup at the Daytona Beach TRACON.

They were both extremely skilled pilots. The FO actually had slightly more flight hours than sully and had been a captain for another airline and another kind of plane. He was new to the A320 though. You had extremely skilled and experienced captain and FO and then highly experienced and skilled flight attendants behind them. Also some of the best ATC people in the world covering that patch of sky around New York. Basically the ideal team you’d ever want if you were on a plane with a problem. They all did amazing.

I’m impressed by no many things like Jeff starting the APU so quickly to keep electronics alive, Sully committing to a water landing because he just “felt” that they didn’t have the energy to make Teterboro. Getting all the vents closed to prevent submersion, choosing the best flaps setting and keeping the nose up long enough to create enough drag to arrest the speed. These were the right guys at the right time.

3:02 You see how when he deploys flaps his rate of descent slows, regains a bit of altitude and the speed goes down, later he's asked by the copilot if he wants more flaps, he decides to stay at 2 so that he doesn't stall over the river. He ends up grazing the water at about 130 knots (150 mph) -- it's very important that his angle of attack and attitude are just right so that he uses the water for gradual braking. If you try to do this in flight simulator you'll see it's very tricky, if you don't do it just right you end up stopping too fast or stalling too much, he did it perfectly.

I’m glad the controller was eventually able to see he did a great job. Cleared 3 runways at LaGuardia within a minute and gave the captain Runway 1 at Teterboro within 20 seconds - an airport LaGuardia doesn’t usually communicate with but he knew the airport because he’d previously worked in that sector. Then despite hearing the awful news they were headed for the river, maintained his composure vectoring other aircraft out of the way and giving the captain the option of Newark just in case he regained use of the engines.

@Genaro Scala I said "look to" as I'm aware from the NTSB report and its 213 insomnia-curing pages that they didn't. However, despite keeping the plane relatively intact and evacuation of all passengers and crew with zero fatalities and relatively few serious injuries, there wasn't a total lack of attempt to cast doubt that there weren't better options and better ways to land an A320 on a river. Evidently, one is to fly extremely fast at the water then level off at extremely low altitude and use ground effect to bleed off speed [Airbus test pilot in a simulator]. This would *maybe* have prevented breaks in the fuselage that resulted in the aft doors being unusable and prevented a vertical beam at Frame 65 from nearly turning Flight Attendant A into a shishkabob. Edit: Or, if slightly misjudged, killed everyone on impact. Most of this extremely brief alternate scenario data came from Airbus, as image preservation is generally the case when you have a hull loss that isn't due to obvious pilot error or intentional acts. The investigation by the NTSB was, in a word, boring, and making a government agency look like a villain only requires you to replace extremely mundane regulatory individuals with actors who were mistakenly sent to learn from KGB defectors instead of NTSB investigators and I think that the attempt to turn a 5 minute flight into a 2 hour movie did nothing positive for the NTSB.

I’ve never been in a situation like this but I have been in life or death situations before and it’s wild how the brain slows everything down where each second starts feeling like 5 (I’m guessing that maybe high adrenaline states like that cause the brain to process info faster than it does normally) You end up feeling like those extra moments you get are just barely enough for you to figure out the right move at the last second. Still these pilots were incredibly in the way that they seemed so unphased and knew exactly what they needed to do when at every moment. I love these aviation stories of just amazing pilots. There is one that doesn’t get talked about a lot that I think is just as amazing if not more. I forgot the flight number but it was an air Canada flight that ran out of fuel mid flight and had to land on a runway at an abandoned base. The runway was too short and they were going too fast so this guy literally drifts the plane on landing like a car. There were two kids riding bikes on the runway too and he was able to slide the nose against a guard rail to slow the plane more. He was able to get the plane to stope before it hit the kid and everyone survived the ordeal.

For those not in the industry, this what goes on behind the scenes everyday when you fly. This is a genuine symphony of years and years of training from every person involved. Years of accidents and incidents that all lead to the policy we have today. And when shit his the fan this is when everything must come together. As a airline pilot I can honestly tell you beyond the confidence we have in the flight deck, it’s much easier to go to work everyday knowing ATC is on the ground and has our backs 100% of the time. Most people who try to do ATC washout. Takes an insane amount of stamina and stress management to do that job and most of them age very rapidly. They’re civil servants no doubt about it. A much harder job than what we have up in the flight deck. Sure sometimes we have to handle some shit but most of the time it’s relaxed. These controllers are high stress all day everyday.

Seen from an ATCO's point of view one could say exactly the opposite. Perhaps it's because we are trained to do that all our career but I can assure you that the job is most of the time relaxed; sometimes we actually hit some shit (like bad wx, traffic overload) but luckily routine exists also in air traffic control like in flying. The training goes into switching rapidly from routine to non routine work if needed, in a split second. As an ATCO, I've always been impressed by the emergency handling by Sully but also by the colleague in the NY Tracon: calm, focused, trying to help the crew without interfering to much during an extreme cockpit workload period.

Very interesting. A couple of thoughts: In the movie, which was quite faithful to the actual events, the EGPWS called out the infamous "whoop-whoop Pull Up!" several times after passing the GW bridge. The actual CVR, here, indicates that never happened. The increase in attitude seemingly out of nowhere as the plane approaches 200 feet is due to the flaps being deployed, which raises the nose and slows the aircraft. When the co--pilot later says, "got flaps at 2, you want more?" and Sully says "no, let's stay at 2", his concern was more flaps would slow the aircraft down too much and put it into a stall (where is loses all airspeed and lift, falling to the ground). The Airbus320 is great at compensating for this, so if Sully had gone full flaps, it's possible the plane wouldn't have stalled, but turns out it was the correct decision. The most overlooked thing is how quickly this happened from bird strike to water landing, in New York City where some very bad things have happened with plane crashes. The focus by Sully can't be overstated here.

I’m not a pilot and not sure all the behind the scenes details of this incident, I’m sure there are a lot of Monday morning quarterbacks that say sully should have done this or done that, the bottom line is he landed a big plane with severely damaged engines in the most populated areas in the country and everyone walked away.... hero in my book

Well they got a group of pilots to have a go at landing it in the sims they were only successful at landing it on a runway after over 20 practices, which also reduced the thinking time with each try.

He POSSIBLY could have landed Runway 13 (the sort of northwest to southeast runway at LGA) He knew that was 'possible' but very risky; it would bring the aircraft directly over northern Manhattan. That crossed his mind and he was quickly (nearly immediately) set on ditching in the river. No other pilots in the sims could have done any better on the first try. Fully turning back to LGA is RISKY. They had approximately 3:30 from bird strike to the river. In that time, they went through the important memory items and started on the QRH; EXACTLY what they train to do! 👍 Had he continued his left turn to RWY 13 or 22, he would have been LOWER than some of the building in Manhattan. Runway 22 would have required a much tighter left turn; something you absolutely avoid at low speeds (tight turns increase loading and stall speed.) Because the departure for RWY 04 requires a left turn, that made it harder to turn back to line up on RWY 04 (04 is the same runway he took off from, just different direction.) Had they departed straight out until 5,000 feet, he could have made the 360° turn and land RWY 22 (but this is impossible due to LGA departure procedures. They have several departure procedures for RWY 04, but they ALL include an initial climb to 500 feet followed by a left turn, then climb to 5,000.) He not only made the right call; he made the ONLY call! He's a professional and a gentleman, and to be honest, in real life he's sort of a nerd! Hehehe (I met him a few times.) 😁👌✌️ Oh, P.S. - From the time of the bird strike, Capt Sully went through the most important memory items AND assumed control of then aircraft (policy) in 12 seconds. In TWELVE seconds, he recognized the engines failing, switched ignition, turned on the APU (critical) and assumed control! Learn your memory items, folks! Even if you fly 172s, learn the memory items and have a checklist on hand at all times! And PRACTICE!!

For those of you wondering why the altitude increased from208 ft to 360ft [3:08] that’s because when they pulled the flaps out in the Airbus it balloons up the aircraft a tad bit. ATC thought they might have regain both engines but that wasn’t the case. Great CRM by Cap Sully FO Jeff and the flight attendants.

Sully's brevity is noted, but when the Air Traffic Control communicates he uses the word Both to refer to the engine loss. This describes the quantity and the full scope. Teterboro doesn't immediately know the type of aircraft, but they know it can't be a four or three engine coming in with diminished thrust, it is a twin engine with little or no thrust.

2:49 approx. 500ft 2:59 approx 300ft >> 200ft >> approx 1200 feet per minute - interesting to know. Great job, great airplane with low speed protection (alfa floor) - supposed there is electrical power - so the 2 crucial decisions : 1. commitment to ditch in the Hudson 2. start APU by heart and asap. Bravo Sully. Btw with approx 200 kt ground speed these 1200 fpm would correspond to about 4 degrees glide angle (leaving some kinetic energy for a flare manouvre)

Hey Eric. If you are referring to the failed attempt at La Guardia, the pilot definitely made the right call on no flaps. Flaps add lift (and stability as you are slowing and your angle is changing, as in descent and can decrease your stall speed) but it is at the cost of drag and immediately decreasing how far you can make it. If you wanted to stretch your glide i.e., glide the farthest, than you would not add flaps. You only add flaps when your landing is "made." Sully added flaps because it allowed him to slow even more and the added lift could lower stall speed, assist in cushioning the impact and increase stability. He was not concerned about making it farther at that point. Hope that made sense! Incredible movie :)
@elusive0270
@elusive0270 8 жыл бұрын
I wasn't being argumentative, I just wanted to educate. No flaps is the proper procedure. I was speaking from experience as a pilot. When you lower flaps you have to lower the nose to keep your speed (putting you in the ground quicker). If the flaps come down, your distance is immediately shortened. Flaps will never increase your glide/distance.

@robertstewart1223
@robertstewart1223 5 ай бұрын
99 out of 100 pilots would've attempted to make it to Teterboro and that is because pilots are taught water landings are exceptionally dangerous. If you understand fluid dynamics you can understand why. You have to have a FLAWLESS Angle of Attack to survive. Nose slightly up, and contacting that water in a way that ONLY the flat bottom of the plane makes contact. If a wing dips or the nose or even the stabilizer wing in the back touch the water, it would snag the plane, and make it do summersaults as it broke up at 170mph. Knowing all of this Sully executed a 1 in a 1000 picture perfect landing. It was so perfect that no one compartment on the plane took on more water than another so the plane stayed buoyant during the entire rescue effort! Can't say enough regarding the skill of this pilot...and is Co Pilot. No arguments...He followed orders perfectly and together they were Batman and Robin that day!

I havent heard it being talked about. As both pilots were concerned about all soles on board. But you have to factor in there concern for the safety of many more soles on the ground. I think that had to flash threw the pilots mind as he was running threw the options as they were falling from the sky. After he was directed to change his flight path. What was right before them was the only area without any people at all to change a desaster into a worse and more costly desaster. Something that pilots have to have in the back of there minds as they take off in very large aircraft. They did a awesome job.

I think it was Sully who called out the speed earlier (and there's a bit of the transcript not on the video immediately after where I also think it's Sully telling Skiles to try to start the other engine).
