I have been searching for this doc. since 16 years.. thank you

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Great! I am glad I could upload it for you!

[@adityahibare]

I searched this program for almost decade

[@mikewatte4478]

you chose the wrong airline

[@MyHalfprice]

Thanks I have been searching this for over a decade. It reminds me of the time when I started flying training in my early 20s.

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Excellent! I'm glad I could upload it for you!

[@joshu6394]

OMG i thought i was the only one looking for this docu for years! Haha thank you so much.

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Judd Romano make sure you’ve checked out all the parts! This series is what inspired me to get into aviation!

[@dominizle]

thanku so much! i watched this in highshool over a decade ago and ive been looking for it ever since

[@nenblom]

The engines on the iconic and wonderful 767 are HUGE!!

[@wilsonsamuel]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I have been searching this documentary for years!!

[@iamra_n3189]

Thoroughly enjoyable and almost nostalgic! And I liked the narrator's humor sneaked in here and there.

[@isabelibarra415]

Wow wow I just came across these videos I have a huge fascination with planes could watch anything planes over and over love watching air disasters and all . Thank you so much for these documentaries !!! I’ll say one thing you will not watch me do is get close to a ✈️ plane I’m terrified of them 👀🤷🏻‍♀️😁😂😂

[@bellablock8293]

For weeks I've bin watching the "Mayday-Series" on youtube. Now I'm absolutely fascinated by aviation!

[@christoohunders5316]

Kudos

[@bobbypaluga4346]

An excellent series

[@bennymshudulu6941]

Am so thrilled. ...I just love the job..

[@krugerfuchs]

Thank you thank you thank you I was looking for this for years

[@nenblom]

The 767 is a wonderful airplane.

[@RiddyOnline]

Awesome video..looking forward to part 2

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Great! I will be uploading it today!

[@raboesperto]

ahhhh 1996 ...

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

That 767 is the Gimli Glider’s sister this Aircraft Tail 604 is one higher than the Gimli Glider:) Even at the time of filming it is a veteran! Keep an eye out for 603 on the front gear doors that’s the famous Gimli Aircraft.

[@ad_akp1662]

Can you please try and find the full interview videos of both Captain and First Officer here?

[@sanjayhadke5503]

I work with travel industry sound of the flight is take me in another world

[@kpec3]

Air traffic is only eastbound across the Atlantic at night.

[@robbedontuesday]

I come from the future, in 2020 it all went bust.

[@marciomacedo2040]

Thumbs up!!!

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

I’m one of these pilots in the near future! I really want to be a pilot

[@edwardarruda7215]

Hey, Bernouli has more to with flight than Newton.

[@65gtotrips]

I really like this documentary, but he doesn’t get the idea behind lift of a wing right. - He’s correct in that the air moves faster over the top of the wing. But it doesn’t produce a downward force. When air moves faster, the pressure of the air decreases. So the pressure on the top of the wing is less than the pressure on the bottom of the wing. The difference in pressure allows the wing, along with the thrust of the engines to lift the aircraft.

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Thanks for your comment, I'll try to clarify. The way a wing is designed, the camber (which is the arc of the top of the wing) should make airflow flow down (towards the ground in most cases) as it reaches the trailing edge. Technically, as observed with many smaller planes, no thrust at all is required to stay in the air so long as the ambient wind speed is one where the wing can stay below its critical angle (so that it doesn't stall). If you drive to your local municipal airfield on a gusty day, you *should* see that most if not all of the planes are tied down since they could lift of the ground in high winds. For more information you can read about Bernoulli's theories around pressure and Newton's second law of motion; both, while different ideas, apply in this case. So, in essence the idea is correct; lift which acts around the centre of pressure works to cancel out weight which acts around the Centre of Gravity, trust and drag are separate forces and only relate to the motion of the plane forward/backward. Hope this answers your question; thrust is not required for lift, but is helpful if you want to get off a normal sized runway, for a small change in relative airflow over the wing results in a large change in lift.

Thought Tommy Lee Jones was working at Pearson fora min uncanny!

[@Ahleeyuh]

Great Program. Truly Enjoyable . Buttttt ..... Can Someone Tell Me The Name Of That That Delightful Beat From @45:42 - @46:27 ?? 😍💕

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Sevyn Flowers I know exactly how you feel... I asked the producer/director of the film.... and unfortunately it is nowhere to be found. I’m not sure if the composer still has it somewhere though.

[@Ahleeyuh]

@@ThresholdProductionsCanada We Shall Search.

[@Ferreira0504]

Let us know if you find it.

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

Did the flight dispatcher say to the airline that the plane is going mach 800??!!

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Ahmad Sayyed Denoted as “Mach .800” yes, that’s what he said. Later he says “Mach point-eight-four-zero” I believe. Simply used flight dispatcher slang I believe.

[@mikewatte4478]

i anit hopping the pond with 2 engines

Well u won't be going anywhere then . Most if not all airliners now and definitely within a decade are all twinjets. There is no need for more than 2 engines given the reliability and power of these engines. Most pilots will never experience an engine shutdown in their entire career.

[@TinManSimRacing]

No reason crews shouldn’t always fly together. Way way way safer as a team isn’t made over a 7 hour period it’s something that takes more time and the results would be amazing and don’t know why airlines don’t do that.

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

The reason airlines don't do this is described in the film. When a team works together frequently, room opens up for bad habits to develop. Beyond the responsibility of flying the airplane, the pilot-flying, is cross-checking with the pilot-not-flying to make sure they haven't missed any checklist items or radio calls (and vice-versa). When a team works together a lot, they form trust that the other members are doing their tasks perfectly every single time. However, humans make mistakes and a huge reason for having two pilots on the flight deck is to have a redundancy in case an error is made. Back to the point, if two pilots fly together forever, they start acting too much like one person and make conditions potentially dangerous.

[@TinManSimRacing]

@ why is that

[@tiadaid]

@@TinManSimRacing As the OP have posted above, it's to avoid bad habits to develop from familiarity. Indeed, Air Canada lost a jet in 1970 because of this - Air Canada Flight 621.

34:34 you are always flying not true, the AF447 pilots were not

I. Just. Wanted. To. Complain. Why. Does. It. Take. So. Long. To. Load. Ha😡😡😡😡

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Harischand Roy if you happen to be talking about the commercial breaks, they are there because this was a real TV show. If you want to skip them a pro tip is to fast forward 10 Seconds by clicking “J” on your keyboard or double tapping the right side of your screen on mobile. I hope this helps, I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

[@shubhadahadke5970]

Send me the episode by Hindi total

[@ad_akp1662]

Hindi used to air on older discovery channel back in year 2001 etc

[@ad_akp1662]

Now a days all those channels are all about roaming into wild and doing all the nonsense.

[@robertsnorrason2494]

It's a good program, except the narrator is constantly cynical and passive-aggressive. Don't know why he didn't just take the boat...

Ya seens condescending.

[@peterj.cressman165]

It’s not that impressive….it’s 1980s technology that has largely been surpassed by the A330, A350, 777 and 787. It was never that great of an aircraft….it was a mediocre midsized wide body that wasn’t truly a wide body aircraft.
