I am a health care professional and during my night shifts I noticed significant impairment of 3 major brain functions: 1.decision making 2.maintaining focus (getting easily distracted) and 3.short term memory. Even though I sleep well during the day and I am rested. I think that late night flights pose a danger even though pilots are well trained.
.
Short term memory and poor concentration are the reasons I stopped shift work after almost 20yrs. I actually enjoyed working nightshift but my ability to perform was becoming impaired. So I moved to a day job instead.
@@anthonyobrien3841 I understand very well. The shift itself is actually very interesting, but after every block of night shift I develop some health problems. Last 2 times I noticed some psychological problems as well. Luckily they disappeared after I slept regularly, but really scared me...
You're a commercial pilot and a documentary film maker,
seems like you already found your backup profession. --- Love your presentations and research. ---
I just wanted to say, this channel is a gem. I didn't realize how small of a channel it currently is with how high the quality of video's you put out. Good job man.
thank you so much :)
Thank you! I find your videos very interesting! I am not at all airline connected, nor do I want to fly a plane. I just find this very fascinating!
Thank you! I'm glad I can bring some aviation to non-aviation-people :)
@@AirspaceVideos Honestly, watching a lot of these air crash videos and stuff got me to finally start playing Microsoft Flight Sim in VR. I've never played it before, but I've played stuff like falcon 4.0 when I was a kid, and war thunder.
Apparently I can fly single prop planes just fine. I also found out the plane I was flying has two fuel tanks and they do not switch automatically. I had reduced engine power, assumed it was because the multiple stall recoveries I did damaged something, so I basically went in for an emergency landing. landed a little hard but without any damage, learned about the fuel switch, and fired it right back up and went to flying again XD
haha, you live, you learn!
I flew the 737 in all variants from the -100 to the the -900. And I few for a time with Fly Dubai. The situation described is very unusual and one that I have experienced a few times my self. A combination of fatigue and stress induced by just this sort of situation gives you a sort of brain reset. Military pilots are taught hand off do nothing and let your brain catch up. The 737-800 has a TOGA switch ( Take Off Go Around) that commands the auto throttle in the take off mode and when in the go around configuration it works by one push you get enough power to give 1000 feet per minute rate of climb. If you push a second time you get full power, and that is almost uncontrollable. A very light 737 will exceed the trim capability in a full power go around. I’ve done it and is is very scary. How this helps
Wow, thanks for this account. I talked to a friend who flies the 737 too and he described a similar thing to me too!
Yeah, this helps!
Especially a non-pilot n00b like me 😉
Thanks!
Idk how you have only 4700 subs. Your quality of vids and explication of events is impeccable. Keep it up, you got something good here
thank you, sure will :)
Well said mate........ this fella deserves to be up there with the best!!
@@gooner72 exactly
You often hear people describe crash sites by saying the wreckage is unrecognizable, but this is the first time I've truly agreed. Absolutely terrible.
The explanation is clearer than you might think …
I joined flydubai with captain Aristos and knew him very well. Well liked colleague both him and the first officer.
Both of whom had wife and girlfriend expecting their first child. The first officer twins. Captain had one week left in FZ before leaving for RYR.
At this time flydubai almost had no limit to how many nightflights you could do in a row. And they didn’t care about fatigue. So many times I have checked in around 9pm, taken off around 10.30 -11 and landed some where in middle of no where around 3-4am. Only to take off and fly all the way back to Dubai. And then battle the morning traffic…
When you do that many nights in a row you become a zombie. You might think you feel okay but your mind and body is heavily fatigued. Which in turn will make your mind and body react like you had 3-4 beers … You orientation is suffering, you do not pick up on the motion of the aircraft and as the auther says, you might not trust your instruments because your mind is “drunk”…
I hate to admit it, but I have had microsleeps on approach into Dubai in the morning. I am sure that most of you guys have tried similar things, maybe driving late at night… But, in an airplane doing 250 kts it’s quite a different thing…
Another contributing factor was that at the time, it was official policy from flydubai to carry extra fuel and hold as long as possible instead of normal fuel load according to Operation manual. The Company wanted the aircraft down at the destination. Normally extra fuel is good - but, when you at the same time “takes away” the captains authority by telling him (or her) to hold, it then becomes so much more difficult for him (or her) to defend a diversion towards the Company… This was a big factor too…
Not one pilot in FZ pointed any fingers at those two guys… We all knew how they must have felt and why it happened. It was a matter of time … We mourned our lost colleagues, hugged our loved ones a million times more and thanked god that it wasn’t our family who got the devastating news that morning…
First officer was fine he should take control much earlier after seeing captain doing nonsense . Also should try explain captain what he is pitching nose down and they going down even drunk I would just give control ... 🤷🙂
Unfortunately people dont understand that, I try sometimes to tell them to remember when they used to be in school and pull overnighters and how they felt afterwards
The cases you mentioned are the “behind the scenes” acts of dirty and careless business practices, unlike us here in The US, if I have a problem, I am landing the damn airplane in any airport i see fit, and I dare ANYONE to question my judgement, unfortunately; companies like skydubai doesnt give their pilots that choice which is crucial,
Look at subtle incapacitation that happened at Ethiopian airlines that brought another 737 down where people were quick to blame the pilots … too bad
As someone who enjoys flight sims and vids like this but has never flown a real plane, your explanation of the real cockpit controls and sensations was quite interesting and helpful to understand why it might happen. I would never have thought that a climb and descent could feel similar.
Thank you! Yes, that is a rather confusing concept if you never really flew yourself. But you can try it out yourself and see how easily fooled our senses are. Close your eyes during the takeoff and after liftoff, try to tell what kind of turns the plane does and how its angle might be in the atmosphere. There is no chance, not even for trained pilots to get this 100% right :)
Best description of this accident I've come across.
As you transition from young and indestructible to older and slower you will find that fatigue will play more and more tricks on you, I nearly learned that at my own expense.
Thanks for your good work.
L.
Thanks a lot for your kind words and your insight. That is probably true...
He was 38 years old, not that old. Also he was two weeks away from being a father, I'm sure that added to his stress.
possible, yes.
Thank you for explaining how a climb can be confused with a dive. I never fully understood it but the collercoaster ride made it excellently clear.
Also very smart to have a backup plan. Sadly needed but wise!
Thanks a lot, glad that helped! Well yes, sad but true and needed... you never know. I still hope I can return to the cockpit some day.
Very good explanation I agree, was going to add myself
thanks!
Your channel is going to get really big, the quality of these is great.
thank you :) I hope so!
I’m an avid fan of anything to do with aviation, and I’m really pleased to have found your channel. Even if I’ve seen other videos about the same topic I feel like you’re bringing a fresh perspective and focus. I always look forward to your videos, thanks for making them!
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that :)
Just came across your channel about an hour ago. Really love this type of content. Subscribed already, keep it up mate! Danke!
Gerne! Welcome :)
great vids and explanation ....love your channel.
had kinda similar situation years back during a confidence flight on 737NG.
lightweight aircraft had to go-around for unstable approach and the captain put max power instead of vertical throttles position for sufficient thrust as briefed.
the sematographic illusion we had that night was unbelieveable...
oh wow, must have been quite the ride!
Excellent very clearly explained air disaster.Even as an expilot myself,I learned something new here today.Thank you for all your efforts!
Brilliant host, brilliant video and a brilliant channel..... Top job mate!!!
The passengers must've been absolutely terrified during the short but extremely violent flight, i hope none of them suffered.
Great job! I like your low-key, step by step narration that’s not overly dramatic. 👏 👏 👏👏
Thanks for explaining this accident. I had been waiting to understand circumstances chain of events leading up to the accident. You have a new subscriber. I initially understood they had been flying long hours consecutively in addition with on the back side of the clock. Fatigued to respond. Wish you the best in your career.
Thanks a lot, that's very kind. Welcome to the channel!
The graphics were very helpful to understand the movement of the plane!
thanks, I try 😄
New subscriber - really impressed with the research you do and the quality of this video. Looking forward to watching your others 😀
Stay safe
Thank you! and welcome to the channel :)
"Air India Express Flight 1344 on 7 August 2020 from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Kozhikode, India, landing at Calicut International Airport. The flight was part of the Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian nationals stranded due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The flight crew aborted two landing attempts because of heavy rain and tailwind. On the third landing attempt, the aircraft touched down on runway 10, but skidded off the end of the tabletop runway and slid down a 9-10.5 m (30-35 ft) slope, killing 19 passengers and both pilots. The four cabin crew members and 165 passengers survived, of whom over 100 were injured " WE requesting you to make one vlog for this ACCIDENT coming days !
Thanks, I'll put it on my list!
i hope you never stop making these types of videos. im absolutely fascinated with these.
thank you! :)
congrats on the first 1000 dude!! well deserved :)
As someone who has never been behind the controls of an aircraft it is puzzling to hear about such a massive disorientation... Since you are a pilot too, does hearing about experienced crews falling victim to this illusion scare or worry you? looks like it can happen to anyone...
Thanks a lot to you! I remember you being like my 6th subscriber or so haha :D
Well, let's say I find it amazing (in an astonished way) that it happened. For me, usually a glance at the instruments helps me to get my bearings again. I'm a bit baffled as to how or why the Captain of this flight got so confused. Maybe it really was tiredness, since it was something like 3 a.m. at the time. That's no excuse, but an attempt of grasping how that mess happened...
I was the eleventh actually I believe, I knew your channel was going places :D
Also good luck with going back to school, it (sadly) was a wise decision I guess... Hope you'll be back in the cockpit soon!
Ah, well, close enough 😄 Well yes, I hope I'm back to flying soon. Maybe I'll learn some useful things along the way. :)
Great video. Too bad the FO didn't take control earlier. RIP. It's crazy how accidents like these happen, with so many ways to properly scan the instruments (the old school T) to see the big picture and situational awareness.
I liked that approach cockpit view clip to Madeira. Uncharacteristically stabilized for that airport. Good luck on your future endeavours. Me, I'm near the end of my career, so retirement is the only, and best option. Nothing beats being prepared.
Thank you. Yeah, usually madeira videos are a bit... bumpier :)
This guy could break down any video and I would be interested, very well articulated and presented, keep it up!
thank you :))
Even in total VFR conditions, keep scanning those instruments.
That one was turned into Air Crash Investigation 21 Episode 2 using Darren Ball and then revealed the captain has somatographic illusion basically another spatial disorientation far more terrible than the last flights.
Great explanation and informative - excellent video!
Hopefully you won't have to change career but always sensible to have a back up plan, best of luck in your studies!
Thanks, glad you liked it. And thanks, I think I'll need that 😄
Hi iam examinar captain on the A320 and i like your presentations very much go ahead very good job
cool videos.. keep it up. u getting better and better
Nice and precise presentation of the contents, couldn't have done much better than this!!! Really an impeccable presentation!!
Remarkable job, thank you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you!
The level of disintegration is completely astonishing. That plane hit that runway HARD. Great work, as usual bro. I always look forward to the new videos. Keep up the great work.
thanks a lot :) and I agree! the destruction vast...
I thought the same thing. Incomprehensible how an entire plane can end up entirely small bits and pieces not looking like any airplane whatsoever.
crazy indeed... the forces involved are incomprehensible
The plane disintegrated into so many pieces I doubt they could even recognize most of the remains...
Quite possible sadly, yes...
Very good summary of a tragic flight. But I forget, was there a Flydubai 737 in the video? Nice new channel that deserves to succeed.
No, I couldn't findy any licensable stock footage of a flydubai 737. That's a major problem for me... I'd love to show relevant footage, but there isn't always some. But thanks :)
thank you for this video! wish you a million of subscribers man!
Thanks a lot :) Who knows, one day, maybe! But one thing at a time.
Can't the first officer take control of the plane when when the captain's steering it? A glance on the instruments should be enough to say that's something's wrong and the first officer should have reacted instantly.
Also, you're making very good content. Keep it up!
Yes, that should have been possible, however in the B737 the first officer would have had to compete with the control force of the captain since the yokes are interconnected. And thanks, glad you like it!
@@AirspaceVideos And what about the ATC? Shouldn't they ask the crew what's happening since they're losing altitude so fast?
Yes, ATC does that sometimes, but I guesd that event happened too fast for that. Also, russian ATC isn't among the best out there in my opinion, unfortunately.
@@AirspaceVideos in this case A320 is the best, one who takes control last gets priority and you could deactivate the opposite stick and take command.
Great Vids. I would like to see more research though which would likely yield more photos, videos and diagrams of the actual events. This is mostly like a podcast currently.
You're doing a really good job with your videos. I hope you can stay in the industry. I can tell you love it.
Greetings from the U. S. and hope you have a great week!
Kevin
thanks a lot! :)
This is an awesome channel
Keep it going whatever you do next
thank you! next video will air on 27th Sept.
When would be the appropriate point for a co-pilot to take control of the aircraft, and is the first officer allowed to just do that?
Different airlines have different guidelines for that. Some do it that way that a first officer should intervene verbally twice, and if he gets no response by the third time, he shall assume the captain is incapacitated and take a control. So yes, a first officer can and should take control if need arises.
The problem is recognizing these rare moments, maybe they only come once in a lifetime. There is also a lot of confidence issues in overruling a captain - a first officer should be compliant, but also assertive, being ready to take control if needed but a partner and loyal follower of the captain. A thin line to walk that has brought a lot of contoversy over many accidents.
@@AirspaceVideos i can only imagine that would be a tough decision to make
very much so!
Excellent presentation...many thxs.
*Thanks Man...nice voice...very clear!!!*
Thank you for the video.
You're welcome!
I believe windshear is a large change in wind over a small HORIZONTAL distance.
Classic example of a strong down draft near the surface. The boundary condition at surface prevents air from entering the earth, so the downdraft becomes a horizontal field of wind radially outward from the downdraft point.
Especially treacherous since entering initially raises airspeed, tempting the pilot to reduce power. But after passing the point of downdraft the initial headwind suddenly becomes a tailwind, thus a pilot who reduces power in the headwind is likely unable to get the power back sufficiently at low altitude.
Windshear can be vertical or horizontal, but in the case of aircraft landing the threat is a large change in HORIZONTAL wind speed over a short distance.
Classic threat case is a strong downdraft near the surface. Since the boundary condition does not allow the downdraft to enter the earth, it becomes a large horizontal wind radially outward from the point below the downdraft. This is particularly dangerous due to an initial strong headwind tempting pilot to reduce power. But passing the point below downdraft the headwind suddenly shifts to tailwind and pilot may not have time to recover.
There is a 7th FLWS threat index i used to know but escapes me now. I believe it was a dimensionless number. I implemented on C-5M a couple years ago, we kept the old reactive windshear as well but the Forward Looking or so-called "Predictive" windshear basec on Doppler radar is now the gold standard.
Great channel, love yer vids !
Cheers !
Payne
Great content my guy
Yeah, I'd just like to say, I've subbed at 3.85K. :P I think this channel has 1Mil plus potential. ;)
Wow, thanks for the kind words! I hope youtube's algorithm hears you 😁
@@AirspaceVideos Don't thank me, you're the one doing the hard work. 😉 I hope it goes well! Edit: Jesus Christ, you've gained 60 followers in the last 3 hours. 😲
I hope so too! Yes, the last few days and weeks have been beyond my wildest expectations...
@@AirspaceVideos A month later, and you've almost doubled your subscriber count! Great work!
At this rate, you will probably hit the 1 mill sub mark in about a year! Hahaha. Probably not realistic to maintain this growth, but still, very well done, and I maintain that you have 1 million subscriber potential, for sure! 👍
haha thank you so much! I had a crazy period of growth in late february, now it's a lot quieter. Still, I'm very happy, my goal was 1k subs by september 😄
Your channel is around the number of subs me and my brother's channel has, except your videos are like 5000x more well produced. Hopefully the almighty algorithm will hit that critical point soon! In the meantime, we're in the smallish channel club!
Thank you so much :)
Underrated video tbh
I’m wondering what the exact timeframe was from when the second pilot realized the nose was down till he took action. The instruments must’ve shown the terrible error clearly, right?
indeed!
Wow . The disorientation must be gripping
It feels to me like that is a very dangerous warning, it shouldn't be instructing pilots to 'GO AROUND' if they are on a stabilised approach with an appropriate margin of safety built into their airspeed.
The captain was flying the plane like it was full of fuel, the plane was light because of the two hour hold. Why did they hold for so long? Makes no sense. The plane was in pieces I feel bad for those passengers.
What a sad series of events. The captain probably never thought about looking at the instruments because he was panicking, trying to prevent the airplane from stalling.
Whats so bad about stalling? Isn't there a way to get out of that too
cool videos... ive been listening to the "other" guy as well. This case seems like a classic CRM one, where coms between the Cpt and FO sucked big time. Seems like a loud WTF or forceful pull back would have saved a lot of lives...
Cut your hair you hippie
so the pilot basically pulled an MCAS on himself
Fascinating.
Disorientation is a nasty effect and in bad weather extremely hard to recover from, his senses must of been super highlighted with the go around and increase in airspeed. Must of been extremely hectic the last few seconds in that cockpit. Thank you for the video and great explanation.
yes, it is beyond me how this could have happened. I know the effects, I sometimes feel vertigo too when turning in clouds, but this... I wonder how he completeley forgot to look at his instruments.
@@AirspaceVideos I think its the old problem, he reverted back to "seat of your pants" flying maybe ? Flying my 152 is no comparison to a heavy but I must admit I have forgotten to look at my panel in cloud on one occasion, its like we trust our fooled senses.
That is entirely possible. In stressful situations peoole tend to revert to basic instincts, I guess...
Nice 👍🏻
It was now featured in Season 22, Episode 1: Holding Pattern (FlyDubai 981) of Air Crash Investigations
Great!
Thanks!
25 year old captain what a coincidence new tech and not enough time for training.
In my opinion:
The captain was on the monochrome hud flying manually the ga because flydubai didn’t pay for the option of dual ap and therefore cat 3 apps had to be flown manually through the monochromatic hud aiding to the visual disorientation of the captain not distinguishing between blue sky and brown terrain unlike he wouldave through the normal pfd attitude multicolor screen.
The fo realize it because unlike the captain he was monitoring the approach though the pfd and clearly could distinguish the blue from the brown unlike the captain. Sadly, he took control too late.
Is it possible this was the pilot's first experience with somatogravic illusion and that's why he became so disoriented?
Or perhaps fatigue played a role.
I think the captain had a panic attack and couldn’t think straight anymore
Throughout aviation history one constant is true - human factors are the main reason for accidents.
I guess this is why automation keeps advancing, and statistics show it has improved aviation safety despite the dependency drawbacks. Ironically yet another meatware problem.
Great but why spoiling at the beginning of the video what happend at the end?
Very clear he should have diverted. Poor judgement by an experienced Captain.
We need to pray for pilot’s wellbeing.
I believe it is a syndrome of "I'm always right" that plagues a lot of these captains involved in big crashes. Same as most highly skilled masters in every trade.
I mean how else could you totally disregard the one guy who is there to help you fly the plane safely.
May I ask where you're from, Airspace?
from Switzerland
@@AirspaceVideos Oh, OK. I had a fantastic Dutch pilot recently and thought it might be you. Anyway, thanks for the great videos!
So no one is going to talk about what happened, y'all just appreciating
How is the combined age of the pilots 26 that's diabolical
It's ok guys, keep using full automotion 100% of the times. Do't worry if, when needed, you can't fly the airplane and or monitor and interpret instruments at all. You won't have a chance to regret you never reharsed you basic skills, unfortunately neither your passengers.
It's unbelievable. I'm a lowish hours PPL and as part of my training, I had to fly on instruments under a hood. IFR to me means you can fly solely on instruments. Why didn't he?
guess we'll never know...
There is something wrong with the 737 !
There are many other cashes of 737 like this.
It’s impossible that this plane nose dive like that for no reason.
Why was he so afraid to stall? Isn't there a way to get out of that as well?
Are there no procedures at this airline for the FO to say "I have the airplane"?
The investigation committee seems to me to have come to a rather speculative conclusion
All best for your future career
thank you!

How this person get a private license let a lone a commercial license? The whole point of cockpit instruments is to avoid being "fooled" by these kind of "illusions". I agree there is no explanation, because this is basic 101 stuff. I don't think stress or fatigue no matter how bad could possibly explain overlooking something so basic to flying.
So the Capitain is now the MCAS for 737NG
The plane doesn’t lose SPEED due to wind shear. The plane loses LIFT. Big difference. Still, nice job on the video.
But of course a plane loses (or gains) airspeed in a windshear. The loss of lift only occurs as a result of the airspeed (or angle of attack) change. Check the lift formula for that:
Lift = CL * 1/2 Air density * speed^2 * wing area.
it does not lose (ground) speed, it loses airspeed. Those two can be very different.
WOOHOO! 👍
9.50 landing maderia (funcal)?
7:43 a female toenail.... what a mess....
What? Are you trolling?
This is exactly why I prefer Airbus flight system philosophy
Airbus make better and safer aircraft, the facts don't lie.
Unbelievable.
Would an Airbus succumbed to the same fate, with its more advanced avionics? 🤔
A Captain…… And I used to fly this airline six times per year……. Geezus…..
JFC I love your accent bud "whawenwrong" @0:15. Can't quite place it though. Are you a Swede who was taught English in Ireland?
haha, I'm swiss... :)
Why oh why didnt the FO take control earlier? So sad :( Bright PFDs showing the horizon and ground clearly.
This guy deserves gazillions of subs for his excellent content. Another great video. The HD footage, explanation of complex aerodynamic concepts, nice diagrams is stellar. These videos will undoubtedly be popular in ground schools all over the world as case studies.
All airline pilot trainees should get 10 hours of aggressive aerobatic exposure to give them SOME idea of how it might feel to be in a major upset.
Good question, I guess we'd have to ask a psychologist for that.
Thank you so much :) Those are very kind words!
Agreed on the aerobatics part! As part of my flight training, I receiced 4h of upset recovery training ("areobatics", sort of) in an Extra 300. Don't know if this is mandatory or if my employer just realized that it might be a good idea. I enjoyed it thoroughly! 😁
@@AirspaceVideos
That sounds like a lot of fun. During my PPL training I got to ride in a Grob G115 aerobtic plane and while i felt a bit sick it was a fascinating experience. The Extra is a beast though!
It looks to me like GA is leading thr way in safety features. There's that amazing Garmin Autoland for example but whst caught my eyes is that "Recover" button new GA planes have. One push on that and it auto-recovers the plane to a level attitude. Within reason of course I realize. It could not have saved this 737 during that dive so close to the ground - but it might have when the FO first realized what Capt was doing.
Another feature GA planes have on their Garmins and other displays -synthetic vision. Impressed with that, for a disoriented pilot seeing a widescreen digital terrain view must be revolutionary.
Most welcome, keep up the good work, you will climb higher and higher on RUclips! I am not skipping ads either.
Agreed, the airliners are far behind regarding safety features. Maybe one could argue that the pilots are the safety feature? They are much more trained than a GA pilot. Then again, look at all the cases of human error.
I'd love to have more modern features in the A320 for example, but I guess it's not that simple. Certification costs millions, and the final product has to be all but foolproof. You wouln't want the plane suddenly erroneously autorecovering from something that is a normal flight regime.
There are some small steps in the right direction, though. Newer planes like the A220 or A350 have auto-emergency-descent-features that execute an emergency descent after some seconds the cabin pressure is lost. This takes some workload off the pilots and could even save the plane if the pilots were incapacitated.
hah! in 2021: "i cant believe over 1000 of you are subscribed now" -- a year later in 2022: 53.3k subscribers
Backup and prime ADI??
But why didn't the copilot experience the same illusion?
is it crashed due to an illusion?
hmm well, then I stay home
I’m About to fly on this airline, is it safe???????
2:27👨✈️
There’s so many crashes. I’m not getting on a fucking airplane. There’s nothing but crashes and misery. Starting at the airport car park
Video shows EVERY OTHER plane known to man, *except* the one he continually refers to in the story. I can't.
