A Routine Landing Instantly Turns into a Disaster (With Real Video)

[@johndoyle4723]

Thanks, I landed at Quito, the old runway, and it was during a severe downpour,at night, very scary. We later heard that one flight before us and several after had aborted and gone elsewhere. I have landed at Kathmandu quite a few times, it is often smogged/fogged in, you fly very close to the houses either side, often scary, but I went on to Lukla 4 times, now that is scary. Good ending no-one killed, any landing you walk away from is good.

[@sarahalbers5555]

I have always wanted to go to Kathmandu and I flew as a flight attendant for 2 major carriers and honestly, I felt safer in a plane than in a car. But you would have to put me under general anesthesia to land at that airport. I understand there was a time period when there was no radar !!! It sounds like you visited some great places, tho.

Thanks for the upload, one of my favourite channels!appreciate the efforts.

We landed in a military base in the middle of nowhere with a horrible fuel stench. They ordered buses for all of us, we were around 70 passengers. And that's it.

So.. the problem at Kathmandu airport was that as of 2015 they did not support an ILS landing? (that's from a previous comment below). Seems this should be standard at any substantial airport that often experiences fog / bad visibility and has high mountains close by. Hope they have fixed this issue by now. Of course the pilot looks to have made an error also - but he does have to land at some point, wonder what his fuel situation was...

[@goytabr]

ILS should be standard, but you're talking about one of the poorest nations in the world, where resources, financial and other, are scarce and disputed among many pressing needs. They simply couldn't afford it. Yet I believe ILS was installed there years later.

[@Slinger43]

That was a burning question in my mind as well! Having already flown the expected distance, plus going into a holding pattern, then performed a fuel guzzling "Go Around" My thought was exactly "how much fuel is left?" 🤢

[@kibeparis8204]

But the pilot had already gone around once, he probably was low on fuel and had no other options, if he had gone around a 2nd time, the visibility would have likely been the same

[@br5747]

Yeah and if he ran out of fuel they would have crashed and they all likely would have died. Not to mention those on the ground.

As for the Turkish crew: imagine losing your license and career over a decision. Then make your decision thinking this. It becomes so clear when you think like this. "How can I justify my actions?" - such a simple thought process to use when in command. The Quito accident doesn't upset me as much, because I am always very cognizant of the runway conditions reported vs what I sent performance for through our landing information. How about this one for a second: at 9200' elevation - you are doing 200kts at just 150kts indicated. For many aircraft - this is above the maximum tire speed, let alone a hard touch down. Be mindful of your tire speed and ground speed at high or hot airports. Denver, Bogota, Quito and the likes all demand high care in reference to your speed. You carry a lot of it and it takes a long time to get it and get rid of it.

I think the first incident clearly shows us the need to build the landing runway in such a way that there is an additional area of flat ground even after the end of the runway ..

As a matter of fact, that Quito airport was known for its poor location and approach conditions. It was finally closed, and now planes land at a new safer airport.

It is not always possible for the runway to have significant amounts of flat, unobstructed ground at the ends. However, the ends of runways can have an engineered materials arrestor system (EMAS), which is a crushable material that will serve to safely stop the aircraft in the event that the plane rolls off the end of the pavement.

ILS systems are designed to get you all the way to touchdown. Was the ILS glideslope inappropriate for the aircraft's landing weight?
