Aska hid his absolutely abysmal training record. He was prone to panic in simulated flights and that proved true when he completely ignored his instruments. Should have never happened as he shouldn’t have been flying, period.
Simulated flights are not the same as siting on real aircraft. In simulators you make mistake ..you go again. In real life, that is not available you can feel pilots pressure.
Second video like this where the Go Around switch was activated without the pilots knowledge. As before, it really needs an audio prompt letting the flight crew know it was activated!
Note that the crew wasn't paying any attention to the instruments as they were flying through a cloud and one decided that they were stalling when they were descending at 300 knots. I doubt any kind of prompt would have broken them out of the trance they were in.
I would agree, plus a visual prompt. It is too easy to put craft into a dangerous state. For those detractors saying they should have noticed. You simply don't notice things you are not expecting to happen. If they did anything wrong it was flying non visual, it's a killer.
@@tensevo There is a visual prompt, although it is quite small: the automation status written in green text at the top of Primary Flight Display. Doesn't catch attention in the same way as Master Caution or Warning.
Because of the servoed nature of the Boeing auto throttle to move them with the thrust, the engineers decided to make the GA activation based on pressing a switch (TOGA), whereas Airbus requires you to firewall the levers. The former, as it turns out, is a recipe for disaster, on more than one occasion.
Not strictly true - it works fine normally. Once you get below a certain RA, the GA doesn’t work , so you firewall the power , pitch up, then press toga and it should come back to normal. Once you touch down it’s a baulked landing rather than a pure GA
@@robd2184 I think the problem with the switch is that it introduces ambiguity into the system. In most go around scenarios on the Airbus the solution is to put the thrust levers into the TOGA detent, unless if you were doing a descending missed approach. In the Boeing, the problem is that with the auto throttle active, the primary means to activate TOGA is by using the button. And thus you introduce ambiguity when it comes to certain critical scenarios, especially under high workloads in marginal weather. It’s a poor philosophy left over from the old days, which Boeing is beholden to because of ‘continuity’.
People often forget the danger firefighters put themselves in to save others. A sad loss given that everyone on the aircraft survived. An another point, I thought pilots trained on "touch and goes" in a real aircraft to deal with this exact situation.
Oh I agree! Can you imagine .. just not hearing a response .. shivers .. how horrible .. repeating over and over, trying to remain calm and composed .. so sad ..
I have noticed countless issues of the Go Around Toga switch activated by mistake and pilots not noticing the activation. I am always wondering why they haven't moved that switch ?
The problem is Automation. It is taking away pilots reasoning and analysis away. The take off and landing are very critical which needs pilots engagement and at list on this two stages automation should be avoided.
I was so sure I was about to read “all 282 passengers and crew died” but when I read they all survived gosh that’s so lucky! Respect for the fireman however 🙌
So sad and so frightening. I remember on my third solo flight I was coming in for final and little did I, or the ATC, know that wind shear conditions had started. I ended up 2/3rds down the runway but still at 150ft. I announced "Go- round" as I was cleaning the plane up. Upon entering back into the pattern I radioed the tower and let them know about the wind shear. I then told them that I would be on a 3 mile long Long Final. I was amazed as I greased it on. What a lesson though!!!
I guess that there is no audible warning made when the "go around lever" is pushed in a Boeing 767. How two instrument rated pilots can ignore their instruments staring them in the face, and become spacially disoriented at the same time; boggles my mind!
It really is mind blowing. *Plane starts diving* "Oh yup, nothing to see here..". Mind you, after reading a couple of fighter aircraft memoirs, spacial disorientation has an odd knack for throwing off even the most experienced pilots.
They were diving and the FO said they were stalling, the opposite, subsequently pitching down even more. The captain did not take control. Were they distracted, task-saturated, disoriented or all of the above?

Although rare, a train just crashed 2 years ago in my area. The cars were left dangling and it was a mess. My point is aviation accidents are rare. Now having said that, I've been in two. One extremely scary one and the other we ran off the runway.
It's said overall death rate of air transport has been consistently the lowest. It just intuitively seems not the case due to risk perception. Of course also the highest effort goes into aviation. That said I guess it's probably also true that the conditional probability of air accident does go significant higher for specific adverse factors (weather, airport, maintenance, training etc.).

Emirates’s cabin crew safety and emergency training is very pro, probably one of the best ones in the world. It did pay off. So sorry for the firefighter.
I lived in Houston when the Atlas Air plane crashed. I couldn't believe the prelim reports about weather being the reason. Rain in Houston in Feb does not come from thunderstorms. It comes from stratus clouds locally generated by our humid air. The difference between "green" and "yellow" is about a 1/2 inch per hour more rain. Spacial disorientation and panic makes more sense. And, as to why the captain did not re-assume control? Well, the major carriers make their pilots retire at age 60 for a reason....
I’m having to take a flight in a little over a week to see my son graduate boot camp. I have been watching military videos and movies to kind of get used to the situations he will be in and not make it so scary. So I figured I would do the same thing with my fear of flying and fear of heights…. Hopefully it helps me…
I wonder if it could be argued that the more experience a pilot has actually increases the risks of spatial disorientation episodes. They do it enough they get comfortable and forget the basics it seems, which leads to slow reaction times when failure to be glued to their instruments when they need to be, since they've been fine for so many years.
I see that you are running out of ideas for videos, but don’t worry, your biggest fan is here. Do a video on Turkish Airlines flight 1878. Easy to make with an a320!
Thankfully, the aircraft remained controllable through various configuration changes while being flown as a glider, and the fuselage remained intact after it impacted the runway, allowing all passengers and crew to escape. Condolences to the family of the brave firefighter . . .
As a flight sim enthusiast, it's disappointing that a real world pilot calls out a stall, yet doesn't know to properly check or know how to read the pfd. Saying your stalling when your actually in a nose down position, is probably one of the worst things you can do. Very unfortunate. Disappointed though that these accident's were because of pilot mistakes and not aircraft malfunction.
@@benjaminstokoe1441 WHen there's no ground for visual reference you can almost have the plane upside down - if you're buckled in - without noticing it sometimes. Depends on speed and G-forces.
I'm just a GA pilot with no automation. Seeing this makes me wonder if these "highly skilled professional pilots" have forgotten how to actually hand fly the airplane. It also looks like a lack of situational awareness on the conditions and what the airplane is actually doing. No hands on the throttles or even thinking about the throttles ...automation has it...WOW!
When I was instructor and check pilot on DC 10s and B747s, I always advised my trainees to do MANUAL Go Arounds: Push the throttles forward, Call "Going Around--set flaps!" and rotate to 10 degrees up initially (to avoid a rear fuselage scrape. ANY aeroplane will definitely go around using this procedure. Using the autos like TOGA so near to the ground is not necessary. At least two accidents have been blamed on failures due to wrong settings of the auto throttle system . The system can be re engaged at a safe altitude. The pilot landing should always keep a hand on the throttles until the plane is safely down.
RIP to the firefighter..the 777 is enormous and heavy,did the tailwind affect the front gear from touching down very difficult to tame the aircraft in those conditions
It amazes me how many of these accidents where the pilot at the controls failed to realize the engines were not advancing. You have to wonder if the pilot was half deaf? It's fairly obvious when you press the thrust lever and the engines stay at idle by sound alone and I'm no pilot but I can tell the position of the throttles from any part of the cabin by sound alone.
They must have been thoroughly distracted. Stress causes tunnel vision (and hearing) and you shut out lots of information. Even if they’re trained in all sorts of scenarios,( of which there are 50.000), time to act is VERY limited, often less than a minute to identify the problem and act on it. People are also not equally bright in each part of the day, if there is lack of sleep or many other contributing factors, all that can cloud the judgement. And last but not least, if you don’t expect the TOGA switch activated, you won’t think of it. I thoroughly agree, there should be an aureal warning if it’s activated.
@@findelka1810 There is a very visible THRUST indication right in front of your eyes on the main mode indication panel...right in front of your eyes!!!.. This shows you have go around thrust. That is .... TRUST TOGA TOGA The power levers moving under your right hand AND an engine roar AND an increase in energy are also great indicators... .Unless you are a total idiot !!
Automation, fly by wire, call it what you will, was meant to reduce accidents by elliminating pilot error BUT, in situations whereby these systems have to be switched off or over-ridden for some reason and the crew have to go back to the "old fashioned" one flying one monitoring, the crew lacking "real time" hands on flying seem to produce these awful, but totally avoidable accidents. One thing did strike me as rather odd on the last accident airplane featured was, why the hell was the TOGA switch situated in such a position as to cause an accidental activation, and why did it not have an annuciation or a kind of gong/chime simular to the autopilot warning
767 is quite old. Doesn't have the attention of ergonomics in the same way as its successor does (777, 787, 747-8). 737 is an extreme example, as the cockpit design had barely changed since 1960s.
Mentour pilot did a good breakdown of this crash and, iifc, struggled to see how it could have been accidentally activated. Although we will never know why for sure.
I totally agree Merck. 👍🏽 Airline companies will put anyone at risk if it means more profit for them. Soon, they'll be talks about removing the 1st officer too. Unacceptable.
Sorry, but FEs can be useless also. We lost a C-5 because all the people on the flight deck failed to notice that the pilot flying was using three throttles, one of which was the engine that had been shut down earlier, instead of the three throttles connected to the three good engines. The FE failed to notice that one engine's instruments were showing continuous steady state power operation even with the pilot flying moving three throttles. What should have happened: FE: Pilot Flying you are using the incorrect throttle levers. PF: What? FE: PF you are using the throttle of the engine we shut down an hour ago. PF: Go around initiated. Thanks for noticing.
So glad i found this video, i was just talking about the atlas air accident recently when i was visiting the bay near the acident site. I remember that one to this day since it was close to cites i am close to.
It wasn't unreasonable for the Emirates captain to expect when he presses the TOGA button he gets full take off power. Seems like bad design for that switch to be overridden in any circumstances. It's sometimes pressed in urgent situations and should therefore always operate immediately. If it's sometimes pressed by accident then a simple 'audio warning' should solve that issue "Take Off Thrust Activated!" then the pilot can immediately deactivate if a mistake. Blaming the pilots for not 'scanning their instruments and not having situational awareness" seems like a bit of a cop out, given the stressful situation they were in.
Well, the copilot only job while landing is to check the parameters and the approach, so it's his fault to not let the captain know that they weren't with TOGA engaged.
When you press the TOGA switch you should keep your hands on the throttle levers to make sure they advance properly. Sometimes things don't work like they should, and that's why we need skilled pilots in the first place. :^)
The inhibited TOGA is by design. What if the button were accidentally pressed on a taxiway or near the gate? Unexpected go-around power in close quarters has a even higher probability of damage, not just to the plane in TOGA, as also other people, buildings and planes on the ground. It a difficult corner case. There is no perfect answer. Though, it seems like good practice to firewall the throttles manually in real go-around, rather than assuming the autothrottle will always do exactly what you expect.
@@a1nelson Yup, and that's why you are supposed to place your hands on the throttles until you are sure the proper power setting has been attained, at a minimum.
yes, i would expect the toga doing all it is supposed to do. when you press that button you want to go up not down. and the toga button should be situated in a way it cannot be accidently activated. and also a warning given, like "toga activated" so they have an feedback. or if the toga button is pressed by mistake, you know what happened. this might be a boeing thing
How can you be a pilot and not "feel" the throttle increase when you expect it? I liken this to a any good auto driver and you are going to KNOW when your throttle does not respond.
I remember I was in Thailand on holiday when I was 14. I saw it on the TV when I was in the hotel room with my dad and we saw the news on what happened. Its scary because we had about 2 days left before we set off from Bangkok to dubai. Still scares me till this.
At first, from the title I thought those 2 aircraft crashed with eachother 😅 and I was confused because I haven't heard about an aircraft collision regarding am Emirates aircraft. Boy was I wrong about the title hahaha
I don't understand the obsession with 'rules' and 'procedures' on supposed safe landings. Why on earth are they attempting a go around once they had touched down on a long runway? especially at quite a low speed, just to be correct... passengers would prefer a relatively hard landing than exploding into flames. just land and break hard. why risk everything? I don't get it.
Sheesh...Captain wants the nose gear to go down, plane says "No. I don't wanna." Then the Captain says ok, let's go up then. Plane says "Nah. Changed my mind."
This crew made several mistakes on this approach. Two major ones! Apparently airline policy of reliance on Auto Throttles was one! In varying wind condition the reaction time of the ATs usually lags behind the needed adjustments! Pilot flying should have had his hands on the throttles during entire approach from the moment he took manual control of the aircraft, and disengaged them the instant the ATs got behind! In erratic wind changes thrust changes need to be quick and aggressive at times! ATs can not do that! This is an example of over reliance on auto systems which always lead to deterioration of piloting skills! (I always hand flew the aircraft below 10,000 feet) The second mistake was attempting to land with a tail wind component exceeding 10 knots! Don't know what the max certified tail wind component for the 777 is, but I doubt it exceeds 10 knots! That is pretty much standard with Boeing aircraft. For anyone wondering about my qualifications, I have over 16,000 hours in all models of the 737 except the Max!
The autothrottle system on the 777 is very good. Unlike the 737 system it is a dual channel system so a pilot can autoland with an inoperative engine. A pilot can land with the autothrottles on and the system reacts to most turbulence very well. If the winds were very gusty I would just fly ref+10 instead of ref+5. I always used autothrottles for landing and had my hands on the throttles just in case I needed to override them. The tailwind component for a 777-200 is 10 knots. For a 777-300 it is 15 knots. Emirates 521 was a 777-300. I was a captain on the 777 for 10 years. The problem this crew had was once the right gear touched down the weight on wheels switch (we called it the ground shift mechanism) switched from flight mode to ground mode and disarmed the autothrottles. So hitting TOGA wouldn't engage the autothrottles. Add to that the engines would have gone from flight idle to ground idle and the time to spool up the engines would have been increased. Whenever I did a go around I always had my hands on the throttles to make sure the autothrottles were engaged.

This is awesome! 2 for 1! You’re killing it bro!
I’m having to take a flight in a little over a week to see my son graduate boot camp. I have been watching military videos and movies to kind of get used to the situations he will be in and not make it so scary. So I figured I would do the same thing with my fear of flying and fear of heights…. Hopefully it helps me…
9:35 Main gear touched down - disabling TOGA switches. PITY it didn't also disable GEAR UP control too !
Good point
I used to go on EK-521 but now im going on EK-522 and EK-523
Great job flying this simulation!
I wonder if it could be argued that the more experience a pilot has actually increases the risks of spatial disorientation episodes. They do it enough they get comfortable and forget the basics it seems, which leads to slow reaction times when failure to be glued to their instruments when they need to be, since they've been fine for so many years.
Great audio quality, great visual quality.
Respect and condolences to the fire fighter and his loved ones
I see that you are running out of ideas for videos, but don’t worry, your biggest fan is here. Do a video on Turkish Airlines flight 1878. Easy to make with an a320!
To a lay person, the first instance suggests the crew weren’t actually flying the aircraft, while in the second they were, but badly.
Thankfully, the aircraft remained controllable through various configuration changes while being flown as a glider, and the fuselage remained intact after it impacted the runway, allowing all passengers and crew to escape. Condolences to the family of the brave firefighter . . .
I love longer videos!
As a flight sim enthusiast, it's disappointing that a real world pilot calls out a stall, yet doesn't know to properly check or know how to read the pfd. Saying your stalling when your actually in a nose down position, is probably one of the worst things you can do. Very unfortunate. Disappointed though that these accident's were because of pilot mistakes and not aircraft malfunction.
Question on that.
Would they not feel the rapid nose down decent in the cockpit?
And see the instruments? Is this a classic case of they panicked?
@@benjaminstokoe1441 WHen there's no ground for visual reference you can almost have the plane upside down - if you're buckled in - without noticing it sometimes. Depends on speed and G-forces.
Everyone is gangsta until the plane starts sinking without landing gear
💔 For the Prime Flight. No one intentionally wants to make a mistake like that. Where are their names? My heart goes out to all the families 😞
I'm just a GA pilot with no automation. Seeing this makes me wonder if these "highly skilled professional pilots" have forgotten how to actually hand fly the airplane. It also looks like a lack of situational awareness on the conditions and what the airplane is actually doing. No hands on the throttles or even thinking about the throttles ...automation has it...WOW!
Another amazing upload. Thanks 🙏
I only fly 172s but A/T seems counterintuitive to the landing sequence of a flight so that you can respond to changing conditions.
When I was instructor and check pilot on DC 10s and B747s, I always advised my trainees to do MANUAL Go Arounds: Push the throttles forward, Call "Going Around--set flaps!" and rotate to 10 degrees up initially (to avoid a rear fuselage scrape. ANY aeroplane will definitely go around using this procedure. Using the autos like TOGA so near to the ground is not necessary. At least two accidents have been blamed on failures due to wrong settings of the auto throttle system . The system can be re engaged at a safe altitude. The pilot landing should always keep a hand on the throttles until the plane is safely down.
RIP Hero Fire fighter ....
RIP to the firefighter..the 777 is enormous and heavy,did the tailwind affect the front gear from touching down very difficult to tame the aircraft in those conditions
Give respect to the firefighter that died R. I. P you have been a good man
It amazes me how many of these accidents where the pilot at the controls failed to realize the engines were not advancing. You have to wonder if the pilot was half deaf? It's fairly obvious when you press the thrust lever and the engines stay at idle by sound alone and I'm no
pilot but I can tell the position of the throttles from any part of the cabin by sound alone.
They must have been thoroughly distracted. Stress causes tunnel vision (and hearing) and you shut out lots of information. Even if they’re trained in all sorts of scenarios,( of which there are 50.000), time to act is VERY limited, often less than a minute to identify the problem and act on it. People are also not equally bright in each part of the day, if there is lack of sleep or many other contributing factors, all that can cloud the judgement. And last but not least, if you don’t expect the TOGA switch activated, you won’t think of it. I thoroughly agree, there should be an aureal warning if it’s activated.
@@findelka1810 There is a very visible THRUST indication right in front of your eyes on the main mode indication panel...right in front of your eyes!!!..
This shows you have go around thrust.
That is ....
TRUST TOGA TOGA
The power levers moving under your right hand AND an engine roar AND an increase in energy are also great indicators...
.Unless you are a total idiot !!
Automation, fly by wire, call it what you will, was meant to reduce accidents by elliminating pilot error BUT, in situations whereby these systems have to be switched off or over-ridden for some reason and the crew have to go back to the "old fashioned" one flying one monitoring, the crew lacking "real time" hands on flying seem to produce these awful, but totally avoidable accidents. One thing did strike me as rather odd on the last accident airplane featured was, why the hell was the TOGA switch situated in such a position as to cause an accidental activation, and why did it not have an annuciation or a kind of gong/chime simular to the autopilot warning
767 is quite old. Doesn't have the attention of ergonomics in the same way as its successor does (777, 787, 747-8). 737 is an extreme example, as the cockpit design had barely changed since 1960s.
Mentour pilot did a good breakdown of this crash and, iifc, struggled to see how it could have been accidentally activated. Although we will never know why for sure.
Nice video production..at the beginning I almost jumped up to check the overhead for my bag!
These kinds of situation really necessitate a flight engineer who could focus on troubleshooting. For safer flights, bring back flight engineers.
There's no need for that. If you really wanna have someone else in the cockpit, there'll always be the observer seat to check how the crew is doing!
I totally agree Merck. 👍🏽 Airline companies will put anyone at risk if it means more profit for them. Soon, they'll be talks about removing the 1st officer too. Unacceptable.
What.. they are trying to get rid of 1 of the pilots. Airlines are working on single pilots planes with the manufacturers.
Sorry, but FEs can be useless also. We lost a C-5 because all the people on the flight deck failed to notice that the pilot flying was using three throttles, one of which was the engine that had been shut down earlier, instead of the three throttles connected to the three good engines. The FE failed to notice that one engine's instruments were showing continuous steady state power operation even with the pilot flying moving three throttles.
What should have happened:
FE: Pilot Flying you are using the incorrect throttle levers.
PF: What?
FE: PF you are using the throttle of the engine we shut down an hour ago.
PF: Go around initiated.
Thanks for noticing.
@@davidhoffman1278 Thanks for your opinion. I disagree.
Oh Yes I enjoyed this so much
Mentor Pilot has a very knowledgeable take on this crash too.
Yaaay tfc uploaded
So glad i found this video, i was just talking about the atlas air accident recently when i was visiting the bay near the acident site. I remember that one to this day since it was close to cites i am close to.
It wasn't unreasonable for the Emirates captain to expect when he presses the TOGA button he gets full take off power. Seems like bad design for that switch to be overridden in any circumstances. It's sometimes pressed in urgent situations and should therefore always operate immediately. If it's sometimes pressed by accident then a simple 'audio warning' should solve that issue "Take Off Thrust Activated!" then the pilot can immediately deactivate if a mistake. Blaming the pilots for not 'scanning their instruments and not having situational awareness" seems like a bit of a cop out, given the stressful situation they were in.
Well, the copilot only job while landing is to check the parameters and the approach, so it's his fault to not let the captain know that they weren't with TOGA engaged.
When you press the TOGA switch you should keep your hands on the throttle levers to make sure they advance properly. Sometimes things don't work like they should, and that's why we need skilled pilots in the first place. :^)
The inhibited TOGA is by design. What if the button were accidentally pressed on a taxiway or near the gate? Unexpected go-around power in close quarters has a even higher probability of damage, not just to the plane in TOGA, as also other people, buildings and planes on the ground. It a difficult corner case. There is no perfect answer. Though, it seems like good practice to firewall the throttles manually in real go-around, rather than assuming the autothrottle will always do exactly what you expect.
@@a1nelson Yup, and that's why you are supposed to place your hands on the throttles until you are sure the proper power setting has been attained, at a minimum.
yes, i would expect the toga doing all it is supposed to do. when you press that button you want to go up not down.
and the toga button should be situated in a way it cannot be accidently activated. and also a warning given, like "toga activated" so they have an feedback. or if the toga button is pressed by mistake, you know what happened.
this might be a boeing thing
Wonderful animation. I got a visceral repossessed deep down when that 767 impacted the ground, as if I was actually at the controls.
How can you be a pilot and not "feel" the throttle increase when you expect it? I liken this to a any good auto driver and you are going to KNOW when your throttle does not respond.
Exactly, not only that but the difference in noise between idling engines and throttled up engines is as clear as night and day.
Very good Video
Living in Houston I remember the storm that day, and remember hearing of the crash very quickly.
Living in Houston I remember the storm that day, and remember hearing of the crash very quickly.
I remember I was in Thailand on holiday when I was 14. I saw it on the TV when I was in the hotel room with my dad and we saw the news on what happened. Its scary because we had about 2 days left before we set off from Bangkok to dubai. Still scares me till this.
Thanks!
Bro it is so crazy to see a airport of your country no STATE and i really was like amazed.
This is much better than the fake stuff!
Always sad, and frightening, to conclude the errors were human...Thank again for an excellent recounting, TFC.
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 4 Dec 21.
At first, from the title I thought those 2 aircraft crashed with eachother 😅 and I was confused because I haven't heard about an aircraft collision regarding am Emirates aircraft.
Boy was I wrong about the title hahaha
The computer thinks there's some reason to respond to a TOGA switch over a mile high. Somebody needs a thinking cap battery.
respect to the fire fighter, he sacrificed himself for 300 people
I don't understand the obsession with 'rules' and 'procedures' on supposed safe landings. Why on earth are they attempting a go around once they had touched down on a long runway? especially at quite a low speed, just to be correct... passengers would prefer a relatively hard landing than exploding into flames. just land and break hard. why risk everything? I don't get it.
The unexprienced captain did not feel wheels touch ground. That was the reason behind GA
Sheesh...Captain wants the nose gear to go down, plane says "No. I don't wanna." Then the Captain says ok, let's go up then. Plane says "Nah. Changed my mind."
8:45 the music is by MichaelFK i think, but I couldn't recall how it was named.
EDIT: It is MichaelFK - Faith. It fits well.
sometimes knowingly, unknowingly your fate is sealed by the aircraft manufacturer and nature which makes it a deadly combination
This are a very sad accidents which are caused due to heavy reliance on automation. What did we learn from this accidents?
dont rely so much on automation LOL
Automation is good if you know how to handle it
Thank God for the passengers and crew, however my condolence to the brave firefighter, RIP.
I want to know the name of all the soundtracks you add in your videos. Your choice of soundtracks is awesome.
Wow i was not expecting all of them to survive. Somewhat happy ending R.I.P to the firefighter 😢
I have seen both videos👍👍..keep it up
This crew made several mistakes on this approach. Two major ones! Apparently airline policy of reliance on Auto Throttles was one! In varying wind condition the reaction time of the ATs usually lags behind the needed adjustments! Pilot flying should have had his hands on the throttles during entire approach from the moment he took manual control of the aircraft, and disengaged them the instant the ATs got behind! In erratic wind changes thrust changes need to be quick and aggressive at times! ATs can not do that! This is an example of over reliance on auto systems which always lead to deterioration of piloting skills! (I always hand flew the aircraft below 10,000 feet) The second mistake was attempting to land with a tail wind component exceeding 10 knots! Don't know what the max certified tail wind component for the 777 is, but I doubt it exceeds 10 knots! That is pretty much standard with Boeing aircraft. For anyone wondering about my qualifications, I have over 16,000 hours in all models of the 737 except the Max!
The autothrottle system on the 777 is very good. Unlike the 737 system it is a dual channel system so a pilot can autoland with an inoperative engine. A pilot can land with the autothrottles on and the system reacts to most turbulence very well. If the winds were very gusty I would just fly ref+10 instead of ref+5. I always used autothrottles for landing and had my hands on the throttles just in case I needed to override them. The tailwind component for a 777-200 is 10 knots. For a 777-300 it is 15 knots. Emirates 521 was a 777-300. I was a captain on the 777 for 10 years.
The problem this crew had was once the right gear touched down the weight on wheels switch (we called it the ground shift mechanism) switched from flight mode to ground mode and disarmed the autothrottles. So hitting TOGA wouldn't engage the autothrottles. Add to that the engines would have gone from flight idle to ground idle and the time to spool up the engines would have been increased. Whenever I did a go around I always had my hands on the throttles to make sure the autothrottles were engaged.
@@pixurguy4915 Thanks for the info! Appreciate it.
@@Valor_73737 My pleasure. Retired off the 787. But my favorite airliner was the 757.
@@pixurguy4915 757 is a great looking ship. I am strictly 737, all models from the original through the New Generation. Eventually retired from Southwest! Started with the original Frontier Airlines in 1973.
I read the title wrong. I thought the title meant they crashed in to each other.
