[@ditzygypsy]

Can you explain (in idiot terms 😂) how at 10:31 when the plane got hit by a headwind it sped up, and then later, when it was hit by a tailwind, it slowed down? I thought headwinds push against the plane in the opposite direction the plane is travelling, and therefore, it slows the plane down? And a tailwind propels the plane forward, and therefore, it speeds up the plane? When is the opposite true? I can’t find anything about headwinds speeding up and tailwinds slowing down. I’m so confused.

[@threedirty5455]

@@ditzygypsyHas to do with lift over the wings and your altitude. Yes at high altitude tail wind speeds you up, but at low speed it produces less left which ultimately makes a plane fly. I’m also new to this so take this info with a grain of salt LOL

[@GreenDotAviation]

@@ditzygypsy Yes - the key thing to remember is that a plane only cares about its speed through the air, not its speed over the ground. So, the headwind didn't speed it up over the ground (quite the opposite), but it did speed it up through the air. Let's say a plane is flying at 200 knots, and there is no wind. Its speed through the air will be 200 knots, and its speed over the ground will be 200 knots. Now let's say that the plane hits a headwind of 10 knots. Its airspeed will now be 210 knots. It hasn't gotten faster over the ground, but it is travelling faster through the air, because of the 10 knot headwind being added to its existing airspeed of 200 knots. The reverse is true for tailwinds. The reason that on a flight, a tailwind is a good thing, is that planes tend to fly at a pretty constant airspeed during cruise - let's say 500 knots. A tailwind of 100 knots means that your groundspeed is 600 knots, even though your airspeed is still 500 knots. Hope this helps!

Their inaugural flight on that route Their first night flight in 12 years Their first 236, but with 200 manuals The plane was 28 years old, so while “upgraded” to Bhoja’s norm, it was far from new tech. The last 236 rolled off the line 26 years prior to the crash Pilot joined Bhoja after his prior airline terminated his -400 rating training because he wasn’t able to grasp the fundamental concepts of how to use the automation; on training provided by 3rd party in South Africa he was rated poorly, but this was not overseen by CAA PK. CAA PK ran the investigation - primary cause, bad airmanship - 2ndary cause, inappropriate use of automation but absolved themselves of all blame on oversight of a corrupt and negligent aircarrier, saying that they couldn’t know Bhoja was corrupt and negligent because Bhoja provided false/fraudulent info. “Pilot bad, case closed”

[@davidt8087]

@@eXJonSnowidk even know how he became an airline pilot. I think in "poorer" countries, general aviation doesn't even exist, if at all. Poor people can't afford flight training, so the airlines there usually government owned or subsidized, hire random poor people out of a whole bunch of applicants and train them for free, and put them in jet airlines way too soon. Correct me if I'm wrong here but it seems that way. You can fly as first officer in airlines in other countries at 250hrs, which I'm certain very few of those are solo or without an instructor. The USA meanwhile needs 1400 hrs PIC in time, definitely hundreds of hours solo, and 1500hrs total to get into airlines, and because it's expensive and not paid by airlines only those who truly have a passion for it put in the money to be one, or go through the military. However lately due to loans people are mid life crisis career switching from their office into piloting and these are some GARBAGE pilots. Being a pilot is who you are but these fake office job "pilots" treat it like it's a job and their flight school as "training to work at the job. There's no general aviation, their private pilot cert and nothing matters except when they get in an airline and get airline money and free travel

[@alexnikolas1991]

Brilliant idea, fantastic even. If only the world did work this way, right? 🫤

[@debroofgreen]

For anyone confused about why the tailwind slowed the plane down (when it normally makes the plane go faster) this is because the air is flowing in the opposite direction over the wings, which reduces lift and affects the performance of the aircraft. That's why tailwinds are avoided during takeoffs and landings, but during normal flight it's typically good.

[@samuelguce]

[@PJay-wy5fx]

@debroofgreen Thanks so much! I was wondering about that.

Additionally, there is a difference between airspeed and groundspeed. Tailwinds can slow down your airspeed but increase your groundspeed, which is why they are beneficial during the cruise phase of a flight.

[@mycosys]

It might have been worth mentioning that this was a 27yo aircraft, and one of the last of its type built, the design had been flying 45 years at that point, even the advanced was 40 years old. Im very surprised to see a 200 was delivered in 1986, years after the Classic was introduced. They were completely withdrawn from passenger service in the US in 2008. The plane was old, but the design was positively ancient, and that did have some effect in the incident as he had trained on a more modern 737 at some point.

[@bernardkealey6449]

His -400 training was terminated part way through because he was unable to grasp the basic concepts of how the automation was designed to be used. That was why he left his previous employer; somehow he had been allowed temporary certification on -400’s but he couldn’t maintain type rating once formal training and evaluation began. How his previous “much better managed” international airline let a -200 classic pilot go straight to left seat in a -400 without passing rating is also a pretty good question which says a lot about the regulatory environment there at that time. Once at Bhoja they sent him for simulator training / exam which he basically failed. Recommendation was “more training on automation required” which was never forthcoming. It’s seems a miracle that his 82 hours in type before that flight had not encountered major issues. Given he had been an airforce training instructor, he probably had pretty good basic airmanship and if he had never switched on the auto throttle and was not under the mistaken impression that it would magically handle that all by itself the outcome could have been entirely different.

[@procrastination2204]

The more I watch these videos, the better I get at identifying airplane models. And when the video started I said "that looks like probably a 737-200?" but then a few seconds later he said the date was 2012 so I was like "wait what the heck? Ok I guess it can't be a -200 then so I'm not sure what I'm looking at" 😂

Pilots should probably be forced to fly manually (even if just in simulations) periodically, just make sure they remember the basics.

Because for us, as passengers, its about one particular flight or day. But these airports have to deal with 365 days, 24*7. They can't shut the airport off every time it rains. Plus, this wasn't even a dangerous storm. It was made dangerous by the pilots inabilities.

[@larrya7822]

I haven't flown since the early 90's and only small planes. The first thing I was taught during a stall was nose down, THROTTLE ! full, airspeed then climb. Any and every student pilot knows that.

[@bluedistortions]

A lot of these crashed commercial pilots don't know that, and yes, it is astonishing. The worst was on one of these green dot videos, where the stall warning went off on takeoff, and the captain manually throttled down and pulled back on the stick, the exact opposite of what one should instinctually do. One has to wonder if some of these pilots ever had any manual flight experience, or if they faked their certification or something.

[@silrana37]

I kept thinking about that story about the person putting their camper on cruise control and going into the back for a nap. The pilot seemed equally confused about what his controls actually did.

[@justalonelypoteto]

right? they're literally the same in that regard, move the lever (pedal) yourself and it'll deactivate, hell they could've even used the toga button for all they cared it'd have been equally effective, I just cannot comprehend how a pilot forgets he has a throttle lever

[@Mightbeyourdad]

It’s terrifying how many accidents are caused by the pilots.

[@hywodena]

Who put this moron in charge, though? Well trained pilots are certainly vital, but it's the airlines responsibility to hire and train the best. I would put blame on the pilot of course, but I would put even more blame on the airline.

Great video! As someone how is not well versed in airplane technics and other airplane related things I thought you did a great job explaining this tragic but insightful crash.

Being a pilot isn’t as easy as it seems. Especially when not trained properly. This shows how just one little mistake turns into a whole chaos. Nice video by the way! Looking forward to the next one 👍

[@ARockRaider]

i think anyone can fly a plane in clear weather, the reason you need skilled pilots is when the weather isn't clear. that's why most of their workload can be done by automated systems.

[@HorrorFuse]

@@ARockRaider i agree too. Flying a plane is actually simple thinking of it. But once problems occur for example bad weather or engine fires or structure damage it gets harder as it changes how the plane functions.

[@ARockRaider]

@@HorrorFuse exactly! i still don't know why putting all that into words feels so messy.

[@justalonelypoteto]

I don't wanna be yet another armchair pilot, but you'd think it'd be real early in the curriculum where you learn that pushing the big lever in the middle forward makes the loud spinny things on the side go vroom vroom real fast, I know this was a tragic incident but I just cannot comprehend how that's not the first thing you commit to memory when doing your license, even if you corruptly get there without a single flying lesson to speak off you just cannot not know how a throttle works. Every automated control can be overridden with your hands or by deactivating the system with its well-labeled button. There must have been a lot of stress for the pilots, I get that, but this has to be the dumbest mistake / lack of knowledge in aviation disaster history, how in the world do you forget how your airplane's thrust lever works?

[@ARockRaider]

@@justalonelypoteto when a situation starts to get completed little details often get lost, this can happen in any fast moving situation. that's why sim training and procedure is so important, it builds in a muscle memory so you are less likely to miss small stuff while trying to figure out something completed in a hurry.

I was so happy to see a new video being posted! It's been a while since I have binged through all the top channels (you know who they are) and quite frankly, I find myself starved of late. ;-) One request though, which has been made by @katherinesanders3836 elsewhere in the comment section: the loud music is making the video harder to watch for many. For some it's annoying, for others, like myself, it's an accessibility issue. I would kindly like to ask you to be mindful of that, and look into the subject if you want to know more. It's unlikely that a video becomes unwatchable for people who are not bothered by it when there is no music, or when it's not as loud and not as intense. Thank you!

Improper training, unfamiliarity with an air craft... lots of reasons.

[@35mmShowdown]

It might have to do with his military training as well- 95% of the time I think ex-military pilots are better than most, but those thousands of hours of more aggressive, “the pilot flying is King of the cockpit” mill training can sometimes lead to weirdly hubristic and tunnel-vision stricken behavior in these accident scenarios. This is a case in point.

⁠@@CW-rx2jsI hope you’re not talking about Islam.

[@jondav2006]

I'm a Muslim (not a Pakistani though) and I very strongly feel that quite a few of us take short-sighted decisions (whether it's business, occupation, marriage, or here in this case, flying an airplane) and then expect Allah almighty to cover up for our own shortcomings. This is exactly what the pilot did; he had the choice to move out of the way of the storm and yet he pushed forward on the basis of his faith. While it's absolutely beautiful to have a strong faith, you just cannot expect the laws of nature to change just to save you from a disaster of your own making. I just feel terrible for the victims of this tragedy whose last few moments were an absolute nightmare and for their families who'll have to live with the pain for the rest of their lives.

[@indianfan1029]

You have put it mildly. There is no god, no religion. Anyway, its useless to argue with 8 billion people who still believe in religion.

[@technoschnauzer4327]

I feel that most faiths have this sort of issue, not just Muslims and not just Abrahamic faiths, but living in the united state's bible belt I can say this is very common among Christians as well. It seems to partially be not wanting to give up hope for the best, which is good, but often times falls into what you said: expecting the world to change to save you from the consequences of what you did.
