There is only a couple of videos covering the unfortunate YU-ANA flight. But none of them covered the procedural part in so much detail as you. For which I am very grateful. It has been 42 years since this accident happened and since I lost one of the parents in this accident, I was only 1 month old. I have searched a lot to get answers but there were always conflicting stories about what really went wrong. Many people didn’t get their closure. And many still cannot accept what really happened.

I knew a guy who lost his life, along with his wife, on this flight. He was a glider pilot who just started flying after a some years of hiatus. When he got married, his priorities changed, he built a house for for his young family, raise their two daughters, flying became sidelined. After a few years, he could afford to start flying again, it was the year when I started flying. At the end of the year he got the tickets for this flight, it was the first trip he and his wife had together, it turned out, it was also their final and their two daughters became orphans and were raised by their grandparents.

My father actually flew with the same plane (YU-ANA) and most of the crew less than a week earlier also on a charter flight from Greece. If I remember correctly that flight was also chartered by the travelling agency Kompas so even the same tour guides were on that unlucky flight. He knew some of them personally. We went on a family trip to Corsica and Sardignia in ‘06 and stayed in a hotel and saw Mt. San Pietro in the distance. My father just watched from the balcony and said nothing. As we drove past the mountain he was quiet all the time which was strange to me at the time as I did not know what has happened there as I was to young to comprehend. The thing I also remember was that as we were leaving Sardignia for Venice we got to the airport and found out that the flight was an MD-82 from AlItalia and upon seeing what plane it was my father went all pale and nervous. To this day I can clearly remember about one week later when we were at home he finally broke down and told me what has happened and why he was acting all strange during our trip… Greetings from Slovenia

[@anonymus1594]

I have made a few small changes as I found out that I clearly misremembered some details (I was 10 at the time). The trip was in ‘06 not ‘08 and the plane we flew home was an MD-82 from Alitalia not an MD-83. Unbeknownst to us at the time as we were on the trip in 06 there was still large parts of the plane still scattered all over San Pietro. I can still remember the next year as the piece on TV came out about the crash and the team discovered the wreckage still scattered on the mountain and then a cleanup was carried out in 08. My father is doing OK for anyone wondering, but the trip opened a wound for him. He just needed some time to get over it again. I have a plan to visit the crash site someday and if time permits even bring my father with me if he wishes to do so. I feel some connection to this place as I was told the trip to Corsica was considered by my father and his family when it was offered but since he already decided to go to Athens and was to enrol in the mandatory service in the Yugoslav army at the time and work on our house was at a point that no further delays in construction before the snowfall were possible they decided against the trip quite early. Oh the irony…

[@dekikkerfan]

This one strikes way too close to home. I was born after this happened, but my parents knew quite a few people on this flight. To this day on Nov 1st, they go light a candle at the monument dedicated to the victims at the central cemetery in Ljubljana, and I do the same, even though this was before my time and I obvs didn't know anybody. Thanks for covering it!

[@damakuc]

Quick shoutout from Slovenia - this accident added a significant dent into the trust we had of flying back then. It is so ironic to see, how much information was available in the final report, but the news just talked about mountains and unexpected fog - seemed so "reasonable" at the time

[@Echo_Lima]

The news will always tell what they ve been told to. Everywhere. It’s a government tool.

[@karen23826]

That makes perfect sense to me. Given, from what I gather here, that there was little transparency around the tragedy and its root causes (and what appears to me like French investigative authorities trying to dodge their ATC group’s sig contributions to this accident not only the specific controller, but the decision to put a new ATC in service at a dangerous airport unsupervised). If all the public knew was that fog and terrain caused the accident I wouldn’t want to fly with that service much less fly at all either. 😢

Hi petter!! Another amazing video! I just wanted to kindly let you know that better help is actually quite renowned for its issues - taking money from people and not giving them appointments, ghosting patients, employing “therapists” with zero training or studying… I’ve heard some real horror stories. One woman’s mother passed away, and the “therapist” forgot about it, so when the woman said she missed her mother, the “therapist” suggested she give her mother a call on the phone to catch up. It’s such a great concept, but sadly has become pretty well known for scamming desperate people who can’t access help in other places, ultimately being quite damaging! I know you get sponsorship from them as you genuinely care about people, and believe better help to be valid and reliable, but just wanted to let you know that they are quite problematic. Anyway, that aside, thank you for expanding my aviation knowledge every week!! 💜💜 love to you and the family.

[@ski-retro]

A friend's mom was suppose to be flight attendant on this flight but due to pregnancy sickness cancelled her duty and a stand-by was called in. She was born 4 or 5 months later. I worked for Kompas many years after the accident I recall stories from senior members of the agency how some avoided this terrible fate and some did not. Along with stories how some people took their mistresses to this daily trip and not their wives... Famous Olympic gymnast champion was suppose to be on this flight but cancelled the trip due to daughter's illness. So many different seemingly non important decisions or factors... Wreckage stayed on the crash site for almost three decades until 2008 when 27 tons of debree and and also some body parts were removed from the mountain. 60 slovenian rescuers and soldiers with a help of french firefighters managed to finally give those people a final resting place.

And since you cannot know when the future miscommuncation will happen, you have to make it a habit to always repeat the instructions to verify the communcation has been understood correctly. Computer communication systems use checksums for this but humans cannot use that method effectively so repeating the full message or at least the key parts is the only way to verify that the communcation succeeded. The key point is that communication errors happen even between computers so you should never ever assume that communcation between humans would automatically succeed.

But I don't understand why MP didn't draw more attention to the pilot's not preparing for the landing and looking at the approach chart. Neither had landed there, and they had their own children onboard, so why so careless? If they had scrutinised the approach chart, they would have known that going around would have meant the need to climb to 10k. They lost their minds, were distracted by the family and arrogantly believed they could land on this 'challenging' airport without looking at the charts many times? Seems to be. Notice MT didn't mention the landing procedure checklist once in this video? He never omits that in videos, pro-pilot bias? He went along with blaming ATC instead. ATC actually gave many cues that the pilots didn't understand because they didn't look at the approach charts and learn the waypoints. It was the pilot's fault, and MP excused their mistakes several times. Weird video.

[@wilsjane]

@@RJ1J What puzzled me, was that the pilots knew the minimums in the holding loop. So why when they were given permission to descend, did THEY not realise that they were at cross purposes with ATC. I am an engineer (not even in aviation), but on countless times watching these videos, I cringe at the lack of basic technical knowledge among pilots. If I ran an airline, a qualification or experience in engineering or physics would be a requirement prior to training . In addition pilots would spent a couple of weeks every year in the maintenance workshops to keep up to date with the technology. It would cost the airlines nothing. If I had been in this position, I would have refused to fly the 737 Max. Boeing could have put MCAS where the sun does not shine.

Second and probably even more important: Contradicting Procedures for Approaches into Airports without Radar Covering in (what was then) Yugoslawia and France at that Time and the Lack of Knowledge about these Differences y the Pilots.

So it was not unusual for French ATC to clear an approaching Aircraft to 3000 feet when there was a 4500 high Mountain in front of the Aircraft - the Pilots had to take care that they didn´t crashed into him. BUT THE PILOTS APPROACHED THIS AIRPORT FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AND THEY HAD GOTTEN NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT REGULATIONS. So in their Mind they had no reason to look onto the Approach Chart but only to follow strictly the ATC-Order. And that was what they did. So it makes very much Sense what Petter summarized as Lesson to learn from this Accident: The Need for Standardization of Procedures.

Being just a passenger (not an expert), that was my first question, even at the beginning of the video: "Why is the holding pattern on complicated terrain rather than on the sea?" Sometimes it doesn't take expertise, but just common horse sense, to diagnose the problem.

[@Blazo_Djurovic]

I might be completely off, but partially its probably price and it being set long ago. Holding pattern needed a navigational aid to help guide pilots in and it was cheaper to just put it on top of the mountain rather than putting it on a boat. And once that was established probably decades before the accident, it is unlikely it would be upgraded for a regional airport to keep up with developments. Today I would not be surprised you might not even need a radio beacon.

[@julosx]

This holding pattern thing can be O.K. in good visibility with a small, slow aircraft, it was completely impossible to do it the proper way with a MD-81 which is too big and too fast to turn without scratching a mountain on the side. The controller should have asked the pilots what they could see through their windows. In this case of approach the controller might have expected "the sea" as an answer. Obviously he didn't take on board the inexperience of the flight crew over this terrain. If those pilots knew this place better, they would have dropped the holding pattern and follow directly the radial 247 and fly over the sea as the controller was expecting them to.

Greetings from Slovenia. Thank you for covering this accident. In a republic as small as Slovenia, many people knew someone who met a tragic end on the flight 1308. Just a small correction: Inex-Adria Airways (also known before as Inex-Adria Aviopromet and only Adria Aviopromet in earlier years) was a part of Inex group until 1986, when it became an independant carrier as Adria Airways. The picture at 0:50 shows the interesting retro "Aviopromet" livery on an Adria Airways A319. It is a real shame that our flag carrier and once worlds most punctual charter airline has closed down in 2019. That is sadly what years of mismanagement, pointless ventures and blindly trusting a German 4K investment company does. I was lucky enough to fly it before the bankruptcy. RIP Adria Airways 💔 🛬

The response fits with the non-stop tune in videos where the incident is significantly caused by incompetence but Petter makes excuses for it by saying the purpose of the videos isn't to lay blame. Most incidents are not due to incompetence but there are some where it is clear that, especially, a pilot had no business being in the cockpit and there were many chances to keep them grounded. Therapists, not all of them, live in a world where incompetence is to be explained away, be damned the consequences.

[@AkantorJojo]

I was really surprised towards the end when, uppon receiving the "terrain, pull up"-warning, the pilots reacton was not to immediately allpy full thrust and pull up. Maybe, I've watched enough of your videos to have this drilled in ym brain by now, but "aviate, navigate, communicate", and probably the single most scary warning "terrain, pull up", trigger an immediate response for me: get that plane climbing immediately as hard as it allows. Any other problems can be dealt with later! I still remember one of your videos (wasn't able to find it), where the pilots didn't notice they were flying into terrain and were kinda ignoring the controller due to stress with engine failure issues (I think), then the controller, seein it on the plane on the radar, gently but very firmly told them "Terrain ahead, turn right ...", and the pilots immediately responed by innitiating the turn. What baffels me is that it was not obvious to regulators before such a tragedy happened, that drilling "terrain escape" into the deepest part of everyone in command of an aircraft, will save lives and is more likely to be needed than one might hope at first... It's almost the equivalent to a car, where when anything unepected happens hitting the breaks as hard as possible to stop asap, is the best course of action (*baring very few very rare exceptions...). (But I think the comparison is still good enough.)

[@davinasquirrel7672]

Only with modern brakes can you hit them hard. Prior to that, 'tapping' the brakes had much better control, and also actively steering (no wild corrections usually). I had been on the receiving end of someone who just hit the brakes hard, and skidded right into me. So no, just slamming your foot on the brake is not always wise at all. If she had not kept her foot on the brake, there would have been no collision. I was stationary.

[@a1smith2468]

Actually, the equivalent in the car is to do the same thing as the plane. The pilots are actively maneuvering to avoid the obstacle. In the car, the best way to avoid an accident is usually to actively use steering and throttle to avoid to obstacle and not just slam on the brakes.

[@JukoYT]

I know this one. Saw it on another channel before, however, thanks a lot for including this accident here also. This knowledge forever changed the way how I communicate my intentions when I get a simple "cleared for XY approach" from or towards any initial fix instead of RADAR Vectoring. It's the risk that you wouldn't normally anticipate that is always the most dangerous one; there cannot be any mutual agreement that remains assumed but isn't stated in clear communication, and I say this without the intent of blaming anyone involved here or in other incidents and accidents. It's simply something that I find important to keep in the back of one's head.

A few years ago, I did some research on the history of Adria Airways and found this crash. I did not find much data on it so thanks for this video.

It seems to me that the pilots' failure to have thoroughly reviewed the approach plate was crucial to this accident. If they had a minimum safe altitude of 6800 feet for the holding pattern in their minds and the controller cleared them to descend to 3000', I would think they would have likely questioned that directive. Also, if they had thoroughly reviewed the approach plate, they would or should have kept their speed under maximum and thus would have flown a tighter pattern that would not have taken them over the mountain they hit. Yes, the controller's improper terminology contributed to this accident, but I don't accept that it was the primary cause. The pilots were sloppy about flying for the first time into an airport surrounded by well-known dangerous terrain. One would think that would have been extremely well-prepared and they weren't.
