I flew as a training Captain on Boeing 727, 737 (200-900), 747 (200, 300 an 400), and also for a short time on the 767. The MEL is a pilots document, it is an absolute no discussion no override book. You are correct there is a maintainable version of the MEL that gives the engineers more latitude to dispatch buy using one time only maintenance release usually to get the aircraft home for repair on non-revenue flight. The Captain Never has the right to override the MEL even if receiving approval from maintenance control. This story I have used many time to demonstrate this doctrine to new Captains. Aviations ability to learn from past mistakes is one of its strongest features. Once again your ability to turn complex technical discussion into easy to understand story is superb. I think we need a medal for “excellence in aviation story telling”.

I also thought about that. But if they were even slightly neglecting, which the wrong conversion ratio hints towards, they probably just took the number 1.77 and wrote kg/l behind it. In that case, writing the units down, wouldn't have helped, because after the number they then wrote kg, and the rest of the calculation then works "correctly", even though it isn't, because they haven't checked their prerequisites.

The physics nerd in me is compelled to mention that 1 liter of water has 1 kilogram of mass. It makes a good sanity check: if you’re writing down a liquid conversion that’s substantially different than 1 Kg/L you should wonder, is this close to the same density as water? If so the number should be around 1.
@R2Bl3nd
@R2Bl3nd Жыл бұрын
​@@joshcarter-comThat's the first thing I thought of when I got to the relevant part in the video; The density of fuel tends to be a bit less than water but not an extreme amount. 1 kg equals 1 l, of water, so unless your fuel is made of mercury, it's a pretty good approximation if you just want to do a sanity check. I don't know why they weren't more careful about the calculations here but I guess that's just the thing. There was just a particular combination of human failures. Almost always the chain is broken at some point. In this case, the chain of events leading to utter disaster was broken only by superior piloting skills.

I lived in Gimli from 73 ( grade one) to 89. I rember learning the metric system that year. The Air Force pulled out of Gimli in 1972. It was a training center. To me and my friends the old base was a playground to us, as in the early years of my life, we lived in the PMQs next to the base. In 1984, I was in my driveway ( in 1980 we moved about 5 miles from the base out to the countryside close to i tiny place called Husavik) downwind of the airbase when the plan flew a few hundred feet overhead. It was very silent with just some wind rushing past it, this was audible as they were close to me and the ground. I thought it was weird such a large aircraft was heading in. Next day, there it was.. I was working in the base during this summer ( still young guy going from grade 10 to 11) at Hanger 5, which was the operations of OCA ( Ontario Central Airlines) as my father was employed there. Air Canada approached my dads Boss, Barney Lamm, and made him a deal. The deal was, help us, and let our guys set up a work base in your hanger and in return Air Canada granted Barney and Marion ( his wife) a leftime pass on Air Canada Flights ( they have long since past. Barney is a legend, look him up.) Barney gave them his own office to use and directed my father to help in any way he could. My Father and I, along with others, moved equipment to the runway/dragstrip ( jacks, a large"moose" tractor) to haul it back to the hanger after the front wheel was repaired. The nose was missing allot of material in the general area of the undercarige. We tried using our 10 ton moose which had a 460 ford V8 and creeper 1st gear and a small dozer hook together, but the tires had sank into the pavement enough ( our bigest aircraft was a DC3 .....its hot in the summer there so the old asphalt was soft and not made for a heavy aircraft like this) that it was a no go... blew the clutch on the moose. Air Canada operations had to flatdeck a big 30 ton moose from the Winnipeg Airport to move the plane. Incidentally when the plane came to a stop, not only was the nose gear collapsed, all the other tires we're missing almost the whole bottom of them from the brakes being jammed on as the plane barreld down the dragstrip. The rubber was completely gone like somebody sliced the bottom of the tires right off . When the day came to leave after repairs were done, they made an announcement that they would be leaving on the following day, in the afternoon. However, they pulled a little bit of a fast one because on that particular day, as I was pulling out of the driveway to head to the hangar to start work at 8am, I saw the plane flying overhead and heading back to Winnipeg. They just didn't want to have anybody around when they left, I guess just in case. One other point I like to just correct is that there wasn't a drag race going on, but there were children playing on the drag strip and then in the pit area there was a small circuit track. So the people who were actually at the races that day were using the circuit track with midget racers at the far end of the 1/4 Mile Strip in the pit area. When the plane came down it came right down on the centre guardrail of the 1/4 mile track ( was an NHRA sanctioned track at the time...saw many a race there) and picked out all the short little post that were holding it in place. The posts were old and weak. The plane came to rest long before it reached the pit area which is a good thing because at the beginning of that 1/4 milestrip are the Christmas lights and also there is a building there a small booth as well as wires going back and forth. There is an active runway in Gimli still to the day, but he chose the "wrong" one I think because it was visible first . The runways are parallel and the tiwer is unmanned. The next year I worked the Gimli Parks . We honored the flight crew by bring some of them in for the Icelandic Celebration on the August long weekend. I even got to drive in the parade in my convertible Beattle with Mayor Ted Arnason riding high in the back tossing candies to the kids. Great memories.

One of the other lucky breaks that Bob Pearson and Maurice Quintal had was that the ATC at Winnipeg was still equipped with a large, high-power military "skin-paint" radar system, in addition to the more modern transponder system. They llit that up in order to be able to see the altitude, range and bearing of the aircraft - since it no longer had a transponder and was not visible on the regular ATC system. The controller was able to give Quintal pretty good readings on his range and bearing as well as height above ground, so Maurice Quintal was able to calculate their descent rate and forward speed in addition to position. My parents lived in Edmonton; my dad, also a pilot, knew Bob Pearson quite well. I remember the news in the papers and on TV at the time, and I was introduced to First Officer Quintal a bit later. In spite of the procedural errors that led to this happening, it's hard to overstate just how amazing Pearson's performance was in side-slipping and yawing that 767. He had almost no power, poor visibility because of the aircraft attitude and cockpit windows, and although Quintal was getting good information from Winniped ATC and plotting course and distance to the Gimli strip, Bob Pearson was carrying the can, and had absolutely zero options. Not enough speed or altitude (or control function) to do a full turn, or go around. Nope, he had to reduce airspeed and loose a lot of altitude in a pretty short time. It remains one of the most outstanding episodes of airmanship I know. Both Pearson and Quintal were very experienced - I belive Bob Pearson had over 16,000 hours in large jets, and Maurice Quintal over 4200 hours, in addition to his time in the RCAF. If it was going to happen, there would not be too many crews who had that combination of experience and skills. Several years later, I flew on that particular 767 to YVR, and noticed that there was a small plaque mounted near the forward entranceway, saying that this _was_ the famous "Gimli Glider."

@@cayrick well part of it is experience. Pearson did maneuvers in a 767 that, for stated reasons, no one trains on. It's that simple. NO one in their right mind would do that side slip during normal operation because of the risk of flameout. Pearson was a person who had practiced the maneuver in other aircraft. He hadn't in a 767, but. well he at least knew how to do the maneuver safely. The part that's most impressive.... is that this wasn't a CRASH landing... nope. Not normal, by any means, but not a crash landing. But C-GAUN left Gimli under its own power and was returned to active service.... yeah... it came in with no fuel, skidded down the runway.... but wasn't wrecked. It takes a heck of a pilot to land an aircraft like that. I'd love to shake his hand.

@@marhawkman303 The sideslip explanation given by Petter was a bit weird - the engines were dead, so turbulent air off the forebody wouldn't affect the engines here. Sideslips do present a risk of stalling the wing that is partially blocked by the forebody. Not a risk for this aircraft-plenty of wing I suppose. I know of a Cold Lake T-33 crash caused by a sideslip maneuver where that happened - too close to the ground to recover.

@@Dirk-van-den-Berg The R1 and R2 slides where almost vertical (most aft slides) and those that came out those doors were for the most part injured, The over wing exits and the forward exits were much better. The over wings the passengers slid off the front of the wing, not the aft where the slides were and only had a short drop to the ground. The forward exits the slides were almost flat to the ground and after jumping onto the slide they only had to shimmy down the slide to exit. It was an exciting day in Gimli to say the least. I also watched that very same aircraft take off from that airport some time later after temp repairs and that was also exciting. I had the pleasure of also flying on that plane a few years later on a trip to Europe.

I am astonished that there was any possibility at all to have a _"circuit breaker out"_ indication while it was closed (pushed in). Without exception, in 20 years of aviation maintenance, every circuit breaker tag I have ever used could *not* be fitted to a closed circuit breaker, and if the circuit breaker was pulled and tagged, you could not push it in without removing the tag.

The tags were small red plastic rectangles with an upside down keyhole - the large end slipped over the head of the C/B and the small end slid down snugly over the shaft. It was physically impossible to push the C/B back in with the tag in place. We all had our own tags with our names on them, so that anyone could look at the tag and know who pulled and tagged that breaker.

One of the most legendary bits of flying in history - there was a lot of experience in the cockpit that day and it showed. There are a fair few similarities to the miracle on the Hudson. The experience of both pilots, the captains being accomplished glider pilots. Good CRM and a fair bit of luck. As someone who is familiar with both metric and imperial - my father and my grandfathers would frequently work in imperial I always work in metric and metric alone. When you confuse the two that is where things like this happen. NASA lost a $100 million spacecraft because they combined metric and imperial measurements. The report into the accident came to some very sensible and helpful conclusions. I believe Maurice Quintel passed away a few years ago. RIP. Edit: Also thanks for explaining the exact mathematical error that they made. I have seen plenty about this accident but never exactly where the error crept into their fuel calculations.

From what I've read elsewhere, the conversion factor might not have been prominently labeled as lb/L or kg/L in the form either. Rather just "density" or "specific gravity". Or if it was, everyone might've ignored it, being too used to the old lb/L factor. As for the Mars Climate Orbiter: NASA actually had been 100% metric for some years before. But their contractor Lockheed-Martin had used US Customary in their bit of the MCO's guidance software -- and had neglected to convert the numbers to metric before passing them on to NASA's part of the software. At Mars, the MCO was supposed to lose some speed by passing through the planet's upper atmosphere on its way into orbit. But instead, it passed too low in the atmosphere and burned up.

Bob Piche was the Captain on that flight, wasn't he? I met him years earlier, when he was a bush pilot, I think in norhern Quebec/northern Ontario. That was a fair bit east for us - took a long time to get there from northern Alberta in a DHC-2 Beaver. I was just a kid, but I was checked out to fly the Beaver on floats anyway, so I could give my Dad a break on long trips. The reason I remember Piche was that he knew, or had flown, that particular Beaver, and came over to talk to us. I could be wrong, and I might be thinking of somebody with a similar name. But, it's a small world up that way. When I heard about the JetBlue incident, "Gimli Glider - again" was the first thought that popped into my head. Wasn't the same cause, but still another astonishing glide.

Just for interest sake I used to fly with Bob Pearson as his second officer on the B727 back in the early eighties just before AC took delivery of our B767s. He was a most wonderful and skilled captain, a pleasure to work with and a funny guy especially on our layovers. I went on the L1011 when he went to the B767. The downfall of course came when Canada decided to convert to metric and all hell broke loose, especially in the aviation sector and prematurely, in my opinion. We did not really understand it fully but nonetheless Transport Canada approved it. The bad luck that day would have that snag of an un serviceable fuel gauge which according to the M.E.L. required a fuel dripstick check on the tanks done independently by the flight crew AND maintenance the way I remember it. ALL pilots feared and hated to perform these checks as they are complicated and involved using not just charts and figures but inside the cockpit walls are spirit levels to determine the angle of the aircraft as it is sitting and apply it to the corrections. THIS is where it should have stopped. Errors are a certainty combined with the newly integrated conversion charts. Even if things were left in Imperial standards it is challenging enough. In the immediate aftermath the airline CEO at the time instantly attempted to dismiss Pearson and Quintal for the blame, and yet in the U.S. they received the highest award distinguishing them as heroes that demonstrated the finest aviation skills ever attempted in a grave emergency SAFELY. The Canadian government was so determined to make the change to metric this was just the most obvious blunder, and as the saying goes "be careful what you wish for".

The Captain’s glider experience saved the day. By crossing the controls he created enough drag to slow the aircraft and bleed off altitude to be able to land on the decommissioned runway. I heard through the grapevine that when the parameters of this incident were put into an Ar Canada 767 flight simulator every pilot who tried it crashed. On another note I was boarding an AC 767 in Toronto a couple years after the incident and I asked the stewardess if she knew the tail number of the aircraft. She replied that she didn’t and asked why? I replied oh I just wanted to know if it’s number 304 (if memory serves here). She looked puzzled so I said, you know, the Gimile Glider? The look of horror on her face was priceless. I laughed and told her not to worry. The 767 is a good bird and left to take my seat.

The US military even tried to intervene but was turned down by Japanese authorities. The story of those brave pilots really captivated me.

She lay on the side of that mountain for hours and heard all but three of the plane's passengers die - from their injuries or exposure to the cold - whilst hearing helicopters come and go. Despite the feeling surrounding the US's ''military occupation'' of Japan, the fact that so many people could have survived had the US military not been turned away literally as the first medic was about to leave the helicopter caused significant scandal - so much so that no one will admit to who actually ordered the US away. And not surprising because no one in the Japanese government is ever going to lose face by admitting that they chose a time when people's lives were at stake to get into a jurisdictional pissing match.

Excellent presentation. As a motorsport historian this incident has entered the lore of that discipline. Your explanation of the aeronautic side is the most thorough I've yet seen. One point of correction. It was not a drag race that was being held at the time but rather a sports cars race. To explain the distinction, drag races feature side by side runs of two vehicles down a completely straight road, typically 1/4 mile, plus extra space for slowing down. A decomissioned airport like Gimli is perfect and indeed such races did take place there, but not that day. When the Canadian Forces abandoned the field it was taken over by several racing organizers. On that day the Winnipeg Sports Car Club was having a meeting. Sports cars use a complete circuit consisting of different types of turns at different venues. At Gimli their course used the runway as the front straight and start / finish line. The cars then wound through a series of access roads to the west of the airfield before returning to the runway. A typical day would have featured 5 -6 races of 20-30 minutes in duration. Cars of similar performance characteristics compete with each other within the individual race. The famous photo that you also show has a group of Formula Fords stopped in front of the plane. Formula cars are built purely for racing and F Fords are very popular and very inexpensive scaled down versions of the more famous Formula One and Indy 500 type cars. Other shots I have seen of the incident showed cars like a Porsche 356--essentially a lightly modified for racing version of a road going sports car. I am not clear if there was an actual race going on when the plane approached and while there was of course considerable danger of people being hit, their were some fortuitous aspects to having this activity going on. Road races require there to be well coordinated communication between the various parts of the circuit and this would have gone into emergency mode (once the shock of the unusual situation wore off!). Then they had emergency equipment, personnel and fire-fighting materials at the ready, which I understand was used to help with the post-accident procedures.

The Canadian National Radio Control Championships were flown off that strip in 1978. I competed there and took home top prize. The strip was in pretty good condition, which is why the drag guys used it too. Nice smooth track with long runout. I could only imagine the terror for the two kids on bikes with a 767 chasing them and probably making a lot of scraping noise. If we had been there then, it would have been all eyes in the skies since that was our practice anyway. Dragsters, mostly heads under hoods. Great story Mentor Pilot.

Excellent review. More detail about the accident than I had heard about previously. I am so glad this turned out as it did without any deaths. I am a retired airline pilot and it’s always interesting after an incident to unweave the web and follow the path that leads us to the problem. And since we know there can be problems we have backups and check lists to try to prevent serious issues from happening. But we are not always successful, as in this case. Thanks to the skill and the professionalism of the crew and ATC personnel this incident turned out well. And then put a drag race and many people on your only runway....crazy. I also did not realize a sideslip would alter the efficiency of the RAT. Thank you. Well done.

Along with poor maths skills (and conversions, incl. a servies of conversions are NOT high maths either. you just have to be careful and it is good to have a plausibility check). I understand that they have a lot to think of before start, and one can make mistakes, but there is such a thing as plausibility checking. It is not too much to aks to go the extra mile when you have no (working) fuel gauge about the results of such a critical calculation. Even if whoever does such a calculation is normally good with such tasks, that should also be independently verified. That could include calling someone from the company to give them the values for the calculation, but not telling them the result they had gotten - and asking them to double check. They made several bad mistakes - and saved their lifes with good flying skills.

Thank you for that, you've given an excellent description and explanation of this incident. Not only my non-trained opinion, but I have that from an active airline captain. I've watched the re-enactment, and held my breath even though I knew it was not real life. The extreme tunnel vision that the captain experienced during severe stress is something that I can very much relate to. I appreciated your giving details from the final report, and of what became of the flight crew and cabin crew. The cabin crew certainly deserved the recognition that they received in keeping the passengers safe and calm. And, I believe that the award given to the captain and first officer was well deserved.

As an aircraft technician in the RAF I always carried a little slide rule so I could convert Imperial gallons to pounds. The aircraft I worked on - AW Argosy had gauges in lbs and the tankers were in imp gallons. I always asked the tanker drivers for the Specific Gravity of the day because it varied a bit. I also knew the conversion for litres as some tankers were in litres. We never had any tankers calibrated in pounds so this was all normal. But our fuel gauges always worked! And the aircraft would never have flown with inoperative gauges.

Back in the early 2000's, I recall a story that probably didn't make headlines (out of the country). A contract flight crew was dispatched from the US to El Salvador to ferry a helicopter back to the US with several fuel stops. After 4 days of lousy weather, an opportunity came up to get 1st leg done. A US passenger (actually the owner of the helicopter) was also along for the ride - total of 3. While flight crew was busy w/ flight planning and other government red tape, they told the passenger (a low time fixed wing pilot) to go out to put in 150 gallons of jet fuel. Fired up and off they haphazardly went. Unfortunately, the fuel was in liters not gallons. Predictably the engine quit while over a jungle and crashed. It tooks a couple of days (bad weather) to find the downed ship. Unfortunately, the front of the helicopter had broken loose from the fuselage, so the 2 pilots were ejected to the canopy floor where they both became victims of native jungle predators. The passenger in the back survived still buckled in and got a front row seat to the carnage below. Not sure anyone knew or recognized the hasty mistake of rushing things and nobody caught the fueling error. Instead of 150 gallons, they got 150 liters - as *150* was what the display showed on the fueling pump meter.

the wall street journal, of all places, had this story front page, and after reading it I felt i had an understanding of how this happened. awfully good thing one of the pilots knew this field. I have picked up more details over time, but the JOurnal article stands up fine. Flying with inop fuel gauge , confusion over usgallons vrs other gas measurements - that made for the possibility of this incident. The pilot earns respect and admiration for his timely, skillful contributions. The fact remains: captain didn't know his fuel status at takeoff, and was obligated to know what he had then. If he has to measure himself to reassure himself, then he must do so. One can not fully understand the silence after both engines went out, the bad, bad feelings at the time, and the glee when a proper runway was within possible glide distance. Nose gear notwithstanding........

Hi Petter; I would like to congratulate you on doing a fine job on the Gimli Glider video. It provides much more detail and more accurate detail than most presentations on the subject. Being a Canadian and also having worked in the aviation field earlier in my career the Gimli Glider incident is one that I have looked into very deeply. Given that, I am impressed that you added a few details to my knowledge. To return the favour I can add a few additional details to your story. As you noted, the flight was to be 2 legs: Montreal to Ottawa (about 200 Km.) and then Ottawa to Edmonton (about 3000 Km.). Under normal conditions and to promote efficient aircraft operations it was practice to load fuel in Montreal sufficient for the leg to Ottawa and then load fuel in Ottawa sufficient for the leg to Edmonton. Given the failed fuel gauges, following this procedure would require the tanks to be dripped in Ottawa to provide confirmation of fuel on board for the leg to Edmonton. The time required to do this would not have allowed the flight schedule to be kept. During the handover in Montreal the incoming Captain in addition to briefing Pearson on the fuel gauge problem proposed a time saving procedure: Load all the fuel necessary for both legs of the trip in Montreal and tanker the fuel for the Ottawa to Edmonton leg from Montreal. This would save time in Ottawa by eliminating the need to drip the tanks. (Which they ended up doing anyway - but that is another part of the story.) Pearson elected to follow this procedure and did the calculations (with errors) accordingly and requested fuel to be loaded based on his calculations. When the fueler was finished loading fuel he entered the cockpit with his paperwork indicating fuel loaded and between Pearson, Quintal, and the fueler mathematical confusion ensued. When the final number was worked out, due to the confusion level, Pearson was very uneasy about the number so he asked the fueler a critical question: "Is that about as much fuel as you usually load for this flight?" The fueler replied "Yes, that is actually quite a bit more than I usually load for this flight." The problem was that nobody had told the fueler that he was loading fuel for BOTH legs! His reply was based on his assumption that he was loading fuel only for the Montreal to Ottawa leg - which is a leg of only about 200 Km. To be fair, the fueler should not have to know what legs he was loading fuel for but his reply would have pushed Pearson's confirmation bias in the "Everything is OK" direction which, given later events, was unfortunate. If I recall correctly there was also a maintenance engineer in the cockpit at the time working on some other minor issue which would have added to the confusion and interrupt level in the cockpit. Finally, being satisfied that all was OK, they started up the aircraft and manually programmed the FMS with the amount of fuel they thought they had on board and departed for Ottawa. Arriving in Ottawa they recorded the (incorrect) fuel number on the FMS and then shut down the aircraft. Still being uneasy about the fuel quantity on board they eventually did drip the tanks, performed the same (incorrect) calculations with the same (incorrect) conversion constants. The number they got more or less agreed with the number they had recorded from the FMS so they started up the aircraft, manually programmed that number back into the FMS, and took off for Edmonton. The rest is history...

My impression from the video is that Pearson misunderstood that Weir had flown in that way, and he claimed that maintenance staff told him that the official MEL permitted it.
