[@nicazer]

I have to say, one of the things I wasn't expecting from this was ATC. The guy that was communicating with 238 seemed to understand that the pilots were in a stressful situation and was giving them a lot of freedom of choice for what to do next to help ease their nerves a bit. The pilots did great, but also respect to that ATC, he did an excellent job.

[@nev7711]

Great comment. I was also impressed with the ATC.

[@ManiPulatoR84]

Well, pilot called mayday, so that's to be expected...

[@nkyryry]

When a pilot calls mayday, ATC should free up as many options as possible. Pilots calling mayday need to be able to do whatever they need to do.

[@GiladGur]

It is a common practice to give the most possibble freedom to the pilot of a mayday aircraft.

We should never have single pilot cockpits. I'd be happier with the pilots being in a simulator flying from a distance than with there being only one!!!!

[@maxpenn6374]

What is the risk of of a pilot becoming disabled by disease or death while flying? I'm sure it has been calculated to the umteenth decimal by insurance companies. What is the risk of the same happening to two pilots on the same flight, absent other factors such as fire, piracy, etc.? So many aircraft systems have redundancy for safety, it would be stupid to have a cockpit with only one pilot. The insurance premium for a single pilot cockpit should exceed a pilot's salary.

All transport category aircraft are certified to continue flight with an engine failure at the most critical time (V1) and clear all obstacles along the departure path up to 1500’ above field elevation. Although an engine failure is a serious problem, all transport pilots are trained to fly the aircraft with an engine failure at or after V1. All aircraft with this engine type were grounded and required to have the fan blades inspected. A design flaw with the engine cowls has kept the aircraft grounded until the cowl is improved so it will contain the failure.

[@bigbay42]

The calmness of both the pilots and air traffic control in such a nail biting situation is particularly impressive and outstanding!! How they were able to remain so calm is simply beyond my imagination. Great work!!!

[@steveperreira5850]

Maybe they can remain so calm because they can’t even see the engines from the cockpit. It. Mr. Bayo, Suppose you are in the cockpit, and you know one of the biggest threat to safety of flight is a catastrophic engine failure. Wouldn’t you want to see the engines visually. This could easily be done with a couple of cameras on each side of the plane, tiny little pinhole cameras in the fuselage would show the front of the engine and the back of each engine. Why in the hell the manufacturers of airliners don’t provide the pilots with video of the engines is beyond my comprehension. I swear to God this is the stupidest industry in the world. Furthermore, nowadays, even automobiles are becoming fully automated, a much more difficult scenario than fully automated airplanes. But the airline pilots union has a stranglehold around the neck of the airlines, and they prevent for automation and therefore reduce the safety of flight. More than 60 years ago, The airplanes that I worked on in the Air Force were fully automated fighter aircraft, they did not need a pilot at all and they had a much more difficult mission then flying from one city to the next. But the flight industry is full of proud idiot pilots, from the military to civilian aviation, and they all want to be in control when in fact the pilot is always the weakest link in the system. Lest Anyone think I am envious, I myself am a pilot, and I am also an engineer that has designed and built components for aircraft, Rockets, you name it. It is long overdue that we get the monkey out of the cockpit and let the computers do what they do best, automation, with quick reaction and basically no errors. It is long overdue that we get the monkey out of the cockpit and let the computers do what they do best, automation, with quick reaction and basically no errors. If you watch the myriad of videos showing analysis of airplane crashes, you will find that 90% are due to pilot error. Those are errors that would not have happened with automation. That means when we get automation we will have a 10 fold reduction in accidents and deaths.

[@Slashx92]

​@@steveperreira5850 you dont have to see everything to fly the plane, instruments are made to be used instead of vision, that gives very little in most of the time flying. There is no case to have live video of the engines, other than assuming you need to see what is going on, what is false while piloting comercial aircrafts, and being a pilot yourself, you should know that. With everything else, I have no idea on why automation is not used more, but in the situation of the video, there are probably independent systems with independent sensors, so having redundancy is a lot harder, and the thing gluing those systems is the pilot doing the checklists. If the machine senses a fire in an engine, uses the first fire extinguisher, it fails, the sensors that determine existence of fire melt or get destroyed, or any other reason, the plane thinks the fire is off, and time for brandy! The amount of edge cases a *HUMAN* yould have to write logic for, is much more complex than a human doing a checklist. A solution could be to train machines, or make machines train themselves to manage the systems, but then you still have one centralized system and a virtual actor that is as vulnerable as the first fire extinguisher I'm a software engineer, not an aeronautic one, so I know software is very fragile, so fragile even a nasa vehicle was totaled by bad coded math (imperial/metric mixmash), an old chemotherapy (cannot remember the name) literally removed every hardware security measure and implemented software scurity measures and checklists and people literaly died of radiation poisoning by bad made software. And every industry is vulnerable, every company, from nasa to a small software factory, every person is imperfect. The notion that we should stop doing stuff we cannot do perfectly because a machine can is an old mindset. Moreso when the premise of a system doing something a human can do better, when the thing the human is doing is dealing with a broken system Assembly lines? Packaging? Organizing? sure, some implementations may even have 99% success with some redundancy. Never perfect. Now, flying a plane? doing surgery? writing an essay? designing for humans? *NO*, no when we, as imperfect humans code them, nor when they code themselves with deep learning. Never if the premise is that the machine will do it perfectly in comparison with a human. We are not there yet. And we cannot trust machines to do it, still. There is a reason tesla doesnt encourage getting off the wheel, or text, while in the road, even with auto-pilot on. As it takes one literally random human error to potentialy kill someone, because the machine will not adapt to a logical malfunction, not yet at least, and a person can, and will adapt to a faulty machine if it is trained to do so. I liked your rant so I ranted back

[@77gravity]

@@jpoeng I recall helping my brother fit a "scatter shield" around the flywheel of his racing car engine. It was made of 8mm bullet-resistant aluminium. If the flywheel shattered at high revs, it would shred the driver. Shield was required by the rules, as this was also a known, although somewhat unlikely event.

[@jpoeng]

@@77gravity Yeah, we do some similar things. Turbine discs have the most mass, and containment of a disc rupture would be very tough. But, we designed the rotors to ‘clash’ - interfere with each other & slow down an over speeding rotor. The fan has its Kevlar containment belt. The compressor rotor is a drum, rather than a disc, so little blades get liberated, but not big pieces.

[@jpoeng]

@@UHK-Reaper 😁 Aww, you say the sweetest things! 😆 The commercial fans are a lot lower RPM, and have a lot more room between the blades, so it takes something pretty big to break a blade. The ones I was on were bird strikes. The HPC is moving a lot faster of course, so a washer in the wrong spot can cause an HCF failure very quickly sometimes. On the military side, with a low bypass turbofan, the fan is more like a LPC & can get FOD’ed out much more easily.

Once we were back on the ground, and in the flight planning office, the on call duty pilot called and said to take time off. I was told to call back when I was ready, and that it was a standard procedure, not punitive in any way. There is a non zero amount of PTSD associated with such events.

"allowing passengers to hop onto the next flight" I think they might want a break from flying after that...

[@trenauldo]

Or at least a few minutes to change their underwear before the next flight!!

[@NelsonBrown]

@Jessica Wagers - I had a completely different takeaway. A seriously unfortunate thing happened, and the people and systems worked great to keep everyone safe. It increases my confidence that the people (crews, controllers) are prepared, and the aircraft are robust.

[@trenauldo]

@Jessica Wagers I can understand the fear, but I'd suggest that you shouldn't let it keep you from flying. Planes are machines, and like any machine, they can sometimes have a malfunction. Take your car, for example. If the tire blows out while you're driving, that can be scary in the moment, but you get the tire replaced, and you continue driving. In this situation, the plane had a malfunction, but everyone involved brought the plane to a safe landing, and all is well.

[@jimgray1094]

The chances of them ever experiencing a flight incident are pretty much zero after experiencing one. They're playing with house money for the rest of their lives!

It's incredible to think of clearing "any runway" at Denver on short notice. The procedures required are impressive to facilitate that.

[@schumi246]

Beyond clearing traffic, what else would there be?? Arrivals could be told to go around, and departures sent to another runway. Seeing as they took off from 25 and landed 26, they landed with traffic, so other planes were landing on 26 could’ve gone around to the N-S runways that were being used for landing. At Denver, the only runways that are sometimes used for both are 17R and 34R. 7/25 and 8/26 work in tandem, if 7 is landing, 8 is for takeoffs, and reverse for opposite wind, 25 for takeoff, 26 for landing. I’m assuming they do this, so on landing you end up closer to the terminal, and don’t have to taxi very far for takeoff. It’s one of the reasons I like that airport so much, and it’s only ever taken me 30 minutes from walking in the front door until I’m at my gate.

[@GarciaFan37]

They will do this for any emergency aircraft. Technically the pilot doesn’t even need a clearance and can land on any runway once he declares emergency. That being said, it’s best to work with ATC to do things in an organized manner. I fly Cessnas and have declared emergency once and got the same treatment from ATC.

[@erik_griswold]

Helps when you have a bunch of runways to offer like DEN has.

[@SimuDan]

They will have procedures in place anyway to ensure the aerodrome is as clear as possible for any aircraft declaring an emergency. But it must have been made easier by Covid and the fact there are less flights as a result.

no. bad decisions were made. 1. by turning left they went over a densely populated area to get back to the airport. a crash would've killed people on the ground. 2. their circle back to the airport was really long. why didn't they go straight back and land against take off direction, with the airport shutting down all outgoing traffic. i'd have been mad if i was on that plane or on the ground under it. they didn't make the best possible decisions.

[@NUSensei]

@@fredsmith6324 From the analysis, it sounds like they followed all proper procedures and training. 1. The left turn was due to the right engine being out. The pilots, at this point, were not away of the exact condition of the engine apart from it being on fire and disabled. Turning in the direction of the failed or damaged engine is a greater risk due to the increased drag and unknown characteristics. The pilots knew that a left turn could be completed safely with the systems they had operational. A right turn might have caused additional failures. Turning on the active engine would seem like the safer option and there was no hesitation in doing so. 2. As the video shows, the pilots had to run through their checklists. Aviate comes first - they need to know which systems are operational and take into account fuel, weight, etc. for an emergency landing. Once they stabilised the plane, they can the navigate. The landing was performed calmly and smoothly, and the passengers were clearly elated by the performance of the pilots. In the end, they got the plane on the ground and no souls were lost. They did far better than what most of us would do.

I witnessed the plane shortly after it initiated the left turn. It was coming towards me from the north in a gentle bank and descending through a cloud layer. The plane was much lower than would be normal in that location. At first I thought I was just seeing a condensation trail but quickly realized it was smoke. As it passed overhead I could see a bright orange flame coming from what appeared to be the lower right side of the cowling approximately 5 to 10 feet from the rear of the engine. The cowling was still intact as far as I could see at that point. The plane continued its turn until it was heading back east toward the airport. I continued to visually follow it and approximately 30 to 60 seconds later there was a large puff of smoke at which point it appeared the engine had exploded. I continued to visually follow it until I could no longer see it.

_there was a large puff of smoke at which point it appeared the engine had exploded_ That late in the sequence, what you saw was most likely the FIRE EXTINGUISHER system being deployed... but we'll find out for sure in about 18 months, when the NTSB gets done plotting the debris "field" and issues their final report.

An engine failure is EXTREMELY dangerous and if it werent...they would have kept flying to Hawaii dont you think?...oh thats right...you dont! Do everyone a favor and dont opine on things that affect others...

Excellent explanation, charts and why potentially the pilots did what they did. Nice job Capt. Joe!!

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Well done video Captain Joe. Hats off to ATC and the United crew for doing exceptional work getting that a/c on the deck with no loss of life. Things could have gone catastrophic at any time. I worked on the flightline for years...seen my share of crippled a/c and hard landings. This crew and ATC did an amazing job

[@agh4898]

Absolutely textbook. This is what makes US aviation as safe as it is. Kudos to UAL training Dept., the UAL pilots and DEN Departure. Everyone did their jobs to perfection!

[@larksfam]

This is incredible! Your explanations are so interesting. Makes me so comfortable knowing the training the pilots and ATC have!

“Good checklists, on the other hand, are precise. They are efficient, to the point and easy to use even in the most difficult situations. They do not try to spell out everything - a checklist cannot fly a plane. Instead they provide reminders of only the most critical and important steps - the ones that even the highly skilled professionals could miss. Good checklists are, above all, practical.”

Very well done video! Thanks! ✈

I’m very proud to be good friends with Hayden, we were all really happy to see his followers boost overnight :)

[@RudeCustoms]

Well deserved boost.

[@lmlmd2714]

Brilliant walk through and analysis of what happened - and kudos to everyone involved for handling this so damn well. But, damn, that is an ancient plane...

The only time it’s appropriate to applaud and cheer upon landing

I don’t know. How about after someone joins the mile high club?

@@gojewla no one cheered for me when I joined the Mile High Club. I feel robbed by the lack of celebration. :sadface:
