Not mentioned in the Wikipedia article either. The Wiki did mention that the NTSB noted that he rotated at a lower speed than standard. I'm familiar with that model, possibly even that specific aircraft, as I worked for some time at Piedmont Airlines, which was absorbed by US Air shortly after I left and they flew F28's. I'm surprised as well that the wings suffered so greatly from ice contamination, as the Dutch most certainly are more than slightly familiar with ice and icing! Otherwise, they were a rather reliable and stable aircraft.

Hold on 11:24 "Neither of them took any action to check the condition of the wing leading edge and upper surface" but you show several instances of the pilots checking the wings, even shortly before take-off 5:49 "As the pilots approach the number one spot for takeoff, they look back at the wings several times. Near the time of takeoff, the copilot says *looks good to me, black strip is clear*" Is the implication here that the NTSB doesn't believe the pilots *actually* checked?

[@shaynewheeler9249]

JFK airport

[@joobsterdoobster]

No, though with how it's worded in the video, I can definitely see how it would be confusing. The NTSB believed the pilots should have entered the cabin to check the state of the wings. As in, simply checking from the cockpit was not thorough enough given the severity of the icing potential. The video states the cabin part, but doesn't elaborate any further.

[@js35701]

The pilots didnt physically walk around the plane and check for ice, which is normal procedure, but USAir didnt require this so it wasnt performed. However they DID turn on a wing light and look out the window, which is not a true and accurate inspection when snow is already falling and its dark.

At time 4:40 the video states that the captain decides to takeoff at a reduced speed of 110 knots. There is no explanation of why he would do this and it makes no sense to try to lift off at a lower than normal speed. There is no mention of this again. I suspect this is an inaccurate interpretation of what was really decided and a misuse of the word takeoff. Perhaps V1 was lower than what would be typical under more favorable conditions due to runway length and contamination? What really went on here?

A big issue also on the MD80's series not so on the DC9. The center fuel tank bulkhead on the MD80 was in the wing, right in front of the engine intake. The wing fuel is the last to be consumed, so It is long time exposed to low temperature. This cold fuel temperature freeze the bulkhead building up transparent ice over the wing. This ice was suck in the engine causing engine shut down.

[@EpicJoshua314]

This may have been in effect in 1992, but today, after a plane is de-iced pilots abide by their holdover time: the time in which after the de-icing in finished to when the fluid will no longer be effective. Type 1 fluid only has a holdover time of about 15 minutes so when the pilots were informed of the traffic delay they should have turned back for more de-icing as they would exceed their holdover time.

[@aadr]

This. I've worked aircraft deice. We tell the pilots "start your clock" to establish their holdover time once we begin the final fluid application. (During heavy snow this can take several passes.) Type I is only good for deice; anti-ice requires a different fluid. Back then it would have been type II, nowadays we use type IV (the green slimy stuff). If the holdover time expires you're supposed to turn around and get another pass done. These guys were reckless.

[@markr.1984]

I think the fact that F28s did not have leading edge slats (only trailing flaps) did not help this crash and another similar accident in a F28 in Canada. The first version of the DC-9 (DC-9-10 series) also lacked leading edge slats and there was a snowy day tragedy at Denver Stapleton during takeoff. The subsequent DC-9s variants (DC-9-20 through 50 series), all had leading edge slats. And newer Fokkers also had them. It was a hard lesson for McDonnell-Douglas and Fokker. Slats add lots of extra lift to help counter small amounts of ice and they make a difference. This is not mentioned as a problem by the NTSB simply because those accidents still could be avoided with proper de-icing, the lack of features or equipment can't be cited by them if those lacking features or equipment are allowed by aircraft manufacturers and authorities (such as FAA) that approve aircraft designs as airworthy. But I still think slats could have saved one or two of these accidents. No way to know for sure. But we pilots know things.

Airplanes without leading edge slats (like the F28) are very sensitive to wing contamination. Flew one of these over 40 years back around Africa, and on extremely hot days we would use a broom to remove the dead bugs from the leading edge that we had collected on the previous landing.

[@TheIronDuke9]

This is admittedly a dumb question but if people can have heated driveways that melt ice so they don't need to shovel can't airplanes have heated wing edges to melt snow and ice as soon as it touches?

[@daviddennis5789]

Airplanes using hot air from the engines do indeed have heated leading edges where inflight icing can occur. Inflight, due to airflow, the rest of the wing doesn't accumulate contamination. "Bleeding" hot air off the engine for deicing/anti-icing, reduces the power available for performance. The amount of power loss that would be necessary to protect the whole wing on a take off roll (no airflow over the wing to start with) would be too much to meet the performance required for the takeoff. Newer deicing fluids (type 4) do a very good job in keeping the entire wing a clean wing until airborne (yet even type4 fluid has time constraint limitations).

The NTSB blames the pilots for everything. Sounds like the airplane designers fault.

[@DaHitch]

So were the flaps set correctly by the crew prior to take-off after delaying their deployment during taxi? The video seems to show them in a retracted position and there's no mention as to whether they had or hadn't been deployed. Seems kind of relevant to clarify after specifically pointing out how the crew deviated from standard procedure in this case.

Don't remind me, I was on duty at a US res center at the time of this crash. We heard that term for years from passengers and it was tough to hear countless times. Of course, no carrier wants to go through anything like that and we hurt as well but people are still so callous. Sully certainly changed opinions from then on until they were absorbed into AA.

Type I in active precipitation with temperature below freezing only give about 20 minutes. They should have use, in those days type II, which could give them an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Now there is type IV which gives an hour of protection, it is a viscous goo that, when the drag of acceleration brings it over 85 MPH it liquifies and flows off of the surface, taking any snow or ice with it.

[@allenmurray7893]

What about the flaps. Why didn't the NTSB mention that? That was probably the biggest reason for the u controllable flight, plus no pilot walk around.

[@RLTtizME]

The report concluded that the wings were configured correctly. That was mentioned.

amazing animation omg

[@stellakowalski1]

It would’ve been nice to have gotten a clue that 27 people died on USAir 405. I’m watching for the first time and assuming they all made it out alive! What a shock at the last second to see flash on the screen “In memory of the 27 people lost their lives” etc. Here I’m thinking through the whole video that everyone made it out ok, since nothing at all was said during it to let you know that people died on this flight. And the end notice was less than a second before I’m being led to start watching a new video! I really hope the creator of this reads the comments. Can you imagine what these poor people went through? May you rest in peace all you who died that night.😭

[@harrybalsak916]

Ultimately it is the responsibility of the Captain to assure safe and orderly conduct of the flight. He failed, and his FO did not back him up.

[@m80116]

I am a strong self reliance believer. Planes should be fitted with de-icing heaters so that it could be possible to take off 5 hours into an Alaskan blizzard. Then it should be deiced anyway, directly after roll out and onto the take off runway.

[@kanento]

Geez need to add a few seconds to the result - 27 people died and it went so fast

[@robhill9336]

They should make wings with a heating feature so that ice cannot build up on them.

[@shababull]

ok I got another question, why cant they put a heating strip on each wing, kind like people use for the edge of roofs.

[@gort8203]

There is one, it's pneumatic wing anti-ice, but it only works on the leading edges when the engines are running.

[@robertdragoff6909]

Actually they used to, called de-icer boots, but I guess engineers felt that planes were modern enough that de-icing sprays would be enough to keep planes safe……

[@Veldrusara]

I'm just guessing based on physics etc here, but for one thing that would add another system (which requires more energy) to an already complex one, and more importantly it would quite possibly interfere with the actual wing structure and with the hot-cold dynamic being in the same place it could decrease the lifespan of the wing's durability from the expansion/contraction of the materials. More than willing to stand aside for anyone who knows about those things more factually than me, but here's an objective fact for the count: People fly in icy weather all the time and don't have problems, cuz most planes don't plainly (ohhh, punny...) suck at doing so, and deicing isn't a problem if people do their jobs and employ common sense.

[@shababull]

I think becoming inverted upon takeoff would probably be the most terrifying way to go down, especially over ice cold water.

[@ronaryel6445]

Great video. OK, I fully agree with the NTSB regarding the FAA and the airport's responsibility here. But I think the crew has more responsibility here than implied in the summary, provided in the video. The flight crew had decided to limit takeoff to 110 knots. Really? In this kind of weather? This situation demanded full throttle and getting speed up as much as possible to ensure the airliner exceeded stall speed given the precipitation and ice and the Fokker's vulnerability. As the crew felt a loss of lift, they tried to land the plane before it hit the water. Did they forget that they were at LaGuardia? On the Bay Runway (13R/31L) at Kennedy, you can get away with that. Not on a 7,000-foot runway at LaGuardia. I have watched 727s and 737s use nearly the entire runway before lifting off during an evening of nice weather with no rain or snow. Abort the takeoff and land on the runway? Only after you smoke something really strong and psychedelic. luka3532's very astute comment about deicing being available as you taxi to the runway was excellent. This crew did not know their airplane or the airport well.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

[@920flashback]

The limit of 110 was misstated. This was most likely a reduction in V1 decision speed do to slick runway. V1 speed can be reduced to a minimum vmc rudder effective speed in order to negate a lengthened Accelerate Stop distance. This is a very common and sound practice. Rotation speeds cannot be reduced for a given weight unless higher flap/slat/LEF settings are used at the expense of climb performance. Im sure this is what the captain meant. However an old strategy when a crew suspects minor icing is to in fact do what you suggest…..Increase VR speed by a certain margin when not balance field length limited.

[@tominmtnvw]

It greatly detracts from the video by showing the ending first.

[@malcolmwhite3567]

I am curious as to whether as part of the investigation they established with potentially if they had actually firewall the throttles and raise the gear with the aircraft could’ve actually flown out of there?

[@malcolmwhite3567]

Florida palm, 90 was kind of the same, but different LOL stalling and crashing on the Potomac river and they established that they did not set takeoff power correctly, and if they had of applied full power, the aircraft would have flown out satisfactory

[@yacsaw]

In these weather conditions, how about putting several deicing trucks out there at the departure runway, to be able to deice each plane when there are just a couple ahead of it for takeoff, so that the takeoff roll can begin within more like 5 minutes? That could also eliminate the need for multiple treatments at the gate.

[@kahrnivor]

They checked the wings. Why isn't there heaters in the damn things?

[@eucliduschaumeau8813]

[@ChosenWon]

Blaming the pilots again. Did they also include failure to have a crystal ball and a fairy on the wings to get a closer look? Poor deicing procedures and the wrong fluid is the cause. These were experienced pilots who didn't see any Ice.

[@donfisher8035]

WHY would a Captain announce a technical feature of flaps in the zero configuration. Never heard of such a thing unless a eagle eyed pilot was aboard and started a fuss. I don't believe for a second that the mention of the coffee cup was in incidental happenstance. Maybe it is a good cue. But something doesn't seem right. It's possible the ice caused it, highly, yet they seemed diligent several times.

[@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul]
