Juan, I think you answered why a plane that is at the "halfway" point might have to carry more fuel to drop to a lower altitude and continue on, but I don't think you specifically answered why that would make an impact; does the crew have the ability to exchange the air in the cabin via another system than the compressed air inputs from the engines?
I believe that I only fully comprehend about 60%+ of the technical explanations BUT that does not diminish the great pleasure I get from ‘learning’ and sharing your totally fascinating vlogs; keep up the great work. Thank you! 👍🙏🏼
Juan-fantastic explanation once again. Just plain fantastic. I have never heard a more clear and concise explanation ; and it boils down to the fact that you not only know electro-mechanically what makes these "things" fly but what to do when things go wrong. A master mechanic and a master pilot. You do the industry a great service.
Great video Juan. I 'm a captain on a "super-midsize" corporate jet for one of the major players in the fractional ownership market, and when we go to Hawaii, we always plan 3 ETPs, 1 for engine failure, one for depressurization, and 1 for medical emergency. It's amazing sometimes how close together they can be when plotting them on the chart.
Juan, That was a VERY enlightening explanation of the many systems we as laymen have no idea of how those systems work, and the extensive training you have to have beyond the silly stuff like just flying a jumbo jet LOL. I having been a combat medic thought I had a lot of training and what I did learn was KEEP your head calm ,clear and work your medical checklist in your head in a stressful situation. My hat goes off to you pilots keeping us a safe as possible when flying !!!!!!!!!
I really like these little emergency event debriefings/case studies. As an airline pilot, it freshens my education on the situation being discussed and better prepares me in the event that I ever have to deal with something like this as a crew member up front. These are kind of like CBTs except they are much more entertaining and don't put me to sleep.
Juan, I love your casual but concise way of explaining things. I spent 30 years working on aircraft electrical systems - both in the USAF and on production lines at Lockheed, Hiller, Lear and others. Not that I ever could THINK I know it all, I always learn something from your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do these bits with your insights and expertise. Keep it coming.
Great job Juan. I just retired off the Airbus 319/20/21 with 11,000 in type. The last 3 years I advocated at the highest levels for a smoke removal memory item that would take as little :30 seconds to complete, depending on the altitude. They were lucky the fumes were not toxic. In 1980 Saudi Air Flight 163 landed with 301 dead in the back due to smoke inhalation. For the Airbus 321 push every button on the overhead ventilation panel and the air conditioning/pressurization panel. How simple is that. Then depending on the severity of the smoke and aircraft altitude the Captain decides when to open the outflow valve. The ram air will not open until there is less than one psi differential. When the ram air opens it opens the outflow valve half way, but you can manually open it all the way anytime when you are prepared to depressurize the plane. Had they had this simple procedure. Descend, depressurize and open the ram air valve by pushing every button on those two panels, the smoke would have been gone and no evacuation necessary. Airbus world wide has a smoke event every week.
Another worst-case scenario: fire aboard a submerged submarine transiting through the Straits of Gibraltar. It calls for an emergency ascent into an unknown number of surface craft not expecting a submarine to pop up in front of them. Another great report, Ron. Keep 'em coming!
Exposure to contaminated air wrecked my nervous system and finished my aviation career very prematurely. If you look up the effects of burning jet oil it doesn't for make good reading. Thanks Juan for an in-dept report.
Thank You for all your excellent content! It takes a smart person to understand such a technical subject; and an even smarter person to explain it in a straightforward fashion...
We used to use Mobil Jet oil 2 in Allison industrial engines, I can verify that stuff flashes to smoke with a terrible chemical acrid smell, scary enough in an industrial enclosure on the ground, in flight it would be heart stopping. As tough as Jet engines are something as simple as a tiny bit of back pressure on a labyrinth seal drain line can cause massive issues . Juan I learn more from you in 20 minutes then days of watching news services.
Juan, You are one great source of valuable knowledge. Thanks so much for sharing in terms the layperson can understand. We are praying that you get back in the air soon. Passengers could not have a better, more competent pilot.
Another outstanding video JB...thanks. This episode was jam-packed with excellent details that you will never read about in the “In Flight” magazines. Your presentation skills are definitely improving with meaningful content for the average viewer to appreciate. Well done!
Man I sure appreciate your Channel. In a time of ridiculous media sensationalism, I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to hear the facts and only the facts from a man that doesn’t appear to be a complete idiot. You actually seem to know your stuff but your not beating your chest, just offering up your knowledge and the facts. Thank you sir!
As always a great informative video. I worked in the aviation industry years ago and it’s frustrating to see the inaccuracy of news programming. Even from their experts. Glad you’re on the mend and keep up the good work.
This is the best stop in aviation news on YT, quality assessment of the news as it reported and quality information relating to the unreported, perfect balance to help those less technical to stay informed in all matters relating to aviation. I hope you get back in the sky real soon, thankyou for your efforts.
Thanks for all the aviation updates Juan! Hope you are feeling well!! All the regulars here are always thinking about you and the family. Hope everyone is doing well!
According to Hawaiian Airlines statement on their Facebook, the plane was landed on 4R and an evacuation was carried out in 30 seconds. No one was seen with baggage when exiting the plane. Kudos to the crew and passengers for actually doing what was taught! Just fyi standard commercial landing routes for HNL in the normal trade winds would be to fly south of the island, to the West end of the island and turn back landing on 8L. This flight had an expedited approach and landed on a runway 4R which is normally used for cargo and civil aviation operations. Happened to take my first flight lesson in a Cessna 152 from that runway many many years ago :)
Thanks for the video Juan! I always thought that the passenger masks design is a bit odd. Hospital masks have the correct shape and their is no confusion about how to place one over your face. That being said, the photos of people not covering their nose when the rubber jungle deploys (I love that term rubber jungle, gave me a good laugh!) is priceless! It's good to hear that the Dreamliner has moved away from engine bleed air.
Great detailed explanation of Bleed Air Systems and Operation. I am a former 23 year C-130E & H Crew Chief and Phase Dock Troop. Flew as a DCC on our Units C-130H's during Desert Shield/Storm. 8 1/2 years prior to that a C-119C, G & L --- FE/FM.
Juan. I swear ...you are the best reporter/ news round. No bull.Just the facts and sometimes well informed opinion. I tell everybody to go watch the blancoliero channel. It’s the best news around. Very refreshing and trustworthy. I know you’ll hit 100 k Plus and way beyond subs soon! Thank you for your great work.
Wow! Amazing video, so much useful information 👌. Thanks a lot Juan for taking the time to make all these valuable videos. Wishing you complete recovery.
I really appreciate the time, effort and detail that has gone into each and every one of your videos. I am a private pilot and I find your videos super educational. Thank you so much for these educational, informative and interesting videos. Keep up the great work, but please find time to relax and take care too.
HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL WITH YOUR HEALTH AND THAT YOU GET TO LEARN THE 787. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION ON THIS MISHAP AND THE FOOD FOR THOUGHT. A INTERESTING VIDEO WOULD BE THE FUTURE OF WHERE YOU SEE AVIATION GOING IN THE FUTURE. WHAT NEW INNOVATIONS A & P WISE, AND ANYTHING ELSE INTERESTING YOU SEE THAT WILL CHANGE AVIATION.
Thanks for your logical and thorough sharing your knowledge of the cabin pressurization systems Juan ! Once again you're way ahead of ( and far more accurate ) than the MSM ! A lot of high-volume pumps in nuclear plants use similar technology ( but a different working fluid ) to seal the pump shaft ! I expect today's " beast" pays even less attention to the safety briefing than they did when I was " riding " several times/month !
I remember the days of airliners having a smoking section. Seems like I'd always be one row removed from this section being a non smoker. Smoke in the cabin never seemed to be an issue in those days. Thank you for another very informative report.
Thanks, Juan, for another great report. A great pilot died today. Would you please do a video on Captain Al Haynes and what a great job he and his crew did in bringing a crippled DC-10 down to earth? It has been lost to history and most people don't know what it took to get that plane down to the ground. A movie should be made about it. Thanks, Juan.
Really like all your explanations. I have a FIBULATER installed, hehe, so I really miss piloting an aircraft now. They said I had a heart attack 9 years ago but I didn't fell it. Felt like heart burn, Guess it really BURNED my HEART, hehe. The first one never fired in 7 years and this new one, I hope, never fires ether. I know how you fell not being able to get in the air by yourself and enjoy the wild big yonder. Keep up the good work I really enjoy it.
Nice explanation. I hope you get your medical back ASAP. I retired Capt AB321 AA Nov 2018 after 30 yrs AA Eagle, USAir, and American. I miss the flying and $$ but not the BS lol
That 787 will be like a new toy at Christmas Woo whooo Heck I could see the waves coming off your head when you were talking about it because your brain was so excited 😆
Great info as always, I never had thought that the drop mask were mixed with bleed air, but now understand after the explanation of the chemical mixture, you are a great teacher to us non industry guys who like to learn what makes other machines function and possibly use that info in other trades
London ... London is the only airport I have been to where air traffic is fast, busy, and close, did I say close because the volume is tremendous. London Heathrow airport is an amazing concoction of movement. Simultaneous dual runway landings and a queue of scheduled takeoffs are insane to watch and amazingly dramatic to execute.
I was on a 737-200 with BA out of Balice, Krakow back to London, on the RHS just aft of the wing. I had the window seat and a good view of the engine pod. There was a leak of brown fluid from the top edge of a vertically delineated panel at the inboard rear of the engine that trailed aft in the slipstream. The engine was painted that shade of blue all BA aircraft have on their underside. As the aircraft gained altitude, the leak spread downwards from the point it originally emanated and had cross-sectional depth so that it appeared very smeared and treacle-like all the way to the exhaust outlet. I, and other passengers with a ringside view informed the purser, who relayed the situation to the flight deck. It seemed not to have perturbed them. As the plane descended, the downward extent of the leak rolled up to the starting point so the smeared streak went back to a thin line. By the time the aircraft landed the leak had stopped. I've always wondered what the cause of the leak was, especially in view of the Manchester BA 737-236 disaster where the plane burned out on the ground. Whatever it was, it got visually worse with increasing altitude. But, no cabin smoke.
Mr Brown - I am a former CF6 OH mechanic - as well as an overhaul tech on other smaller turbines like the PT6. This event troubles me very much because of the HIGHLY toxic nature of the chemicals in the air, thanks to Mobile Jet II. The pax on this airline will NO DOUBT suffer various neurological maladies from this event. Simon from AVH chronicled a death of a captain recently, who passed away something like 50 days from a severe fume event. The coroner ruled the death was directly cause by the fume event. THERE ARE SOLUTIONS - 3M makes a facemask that collapses into your carry on. 3M 8293 - can save your life!! 99.7% oil vapour protection. (I also posted this on AVH)
Saw your post on AVH, ordered a couple 3M 8293 P100. They are a world apart from the thin Home Depot dust masks, have a rubber face seal, look very promising. All 3M masks with the exhaust valve are comfortable for long term use. There are a pair of articles on AVH on the 50 days captain death event that are worth searching, both have the same title. One is the event report, the other is Simon's follow up research. Very scary. Search for: "Accident: Spirit A319 at Boston on Jul 17th 2015, fumes on board, captain died 50 days later", returns 2 pages.
I would miss that quick whiff of jet exhaust on startup...and the cabin lights blinking when the generators go online. I get the impression that a good piece of a 787's empty weight is copper cable; sort of like an old Vickers Viscount with all its electric deicing. Thank you for the description!
Again a brilliant explanation for us non aviators. You are the best. Thanks Man. I just took my first flight to Spain from Dallas to Madrid last June and watching your channel helped me me feel a lot more comfortable about air travel. Knowing that we have experienced pilots like yourself.
Love you, love your show. Heal quickly, heal well. Dirty little secret - I look at google maps a lot at work, and now every time I see a dam, I look for the spillway
Especially if you're non-reving - best comment! One thing that I notice a lot when travelling is people will pull off their shoes the moment they get on an aircraft and put them back on just as we're about to deplane. I'm unsure how safe that is in the event of an evacuation since I would imagine the shoes would take some of the impact from the evacuation.
787 went back to 1950 technology with turbo compressors and refrigeration units like the DC8 and 707. Tried and true. Even the Dart engines had Roots blowers instead of bleed air. Great reporting.
Super informative! You covered a lot of info there. You didn’t mention just how toxic this jet oil smoke can be-maybe that’s just as well as there’s nothing the pax can do about it (other than fly strictly 787s!).
Juan, I am a pilot - but Dude, your knowledge is amazing. As always, You are so informative - it's ridiculous.... Always watch, and always a "thumbs up"....
Thanks Juan! Hope you get the opportunity to fly the 787. I was on a 787-10 Dreamliner in March (as a passenger; I’m not a pilot but follow aviation and aviation news stories) and was impressed!
Anyone else think about that old John Wayne movie, "Point of No Return" while Juan was giving an explanation for this Hawaiian flight. Great information, it answered some of my questions. Thanks for sharing another informative video. Stan
Wow, I learned so much from this video: Hawaiian fuel reserves and mid-"pond" points, what cockpit and cabin smoke masks look like, and that Mobil oil cans have a Concorde on them ;-) Best wishes Juan for your return to the skies at the helm of a 787!
Juan, I think you answered why a plane that is at the "halfway" point might have to carry more fuel to drop to a lower altitude and continue on, but I don't think you specifically answered why that would make an impact; does the crew have the ability to exchange the air in the cabin via another system than the compressed air inputs from the engines?
Good point! - At 10,000' you can completely depressurize the aircraft, turn off the Pacs, and ventilate the cabin with fresh 'ram' air.
@@blancolirio Thank you for clarifying that! I suspected as much, but I didn't want to assume.
idpromnut : That was a great question !!!!
Why don't they just open the windows? 🤔
@@desertdenizen6428 It would mess up older womens hair dos.
Yet another reason I don't need Television,,, All the News that is fit to be News is HERE!!!!! Thanks Juan!

Thanks for your logical and thorough sharing your knowledge of the cabin pressurization systems Juan ! Once again you're way ahead of ( and far more accurate ) than the MSM ! A lot of high-volume pumps in nuclear plants use similar technology ( but a different working fluid ) to seal the pump shaft !

Love your presentations Juan. So good to know what goes on with the plane in these circumstances. Hope I don't have to go through any of them.

will do.
I hope your on the mend. I enjoy listening to your explanations of whats going on with different scenarios.
God Bless!
Your knowledge and your ability to explain it is extremely impressive. Thank you for your service sir.
Nice report, Juan. You always clear up the smoke in the cabin.
Lol!
I thought regulations prohibit smoking in the cabin.
I love your explanations, they make it a lot clearer.
That was quite a detailed report sir... Hope there won’t need to report another event anytime soon.

Again a brilliant explanation for us non aviators. You are the best. Thanks Man. I just took my first flight to Spain from Dallas to Madrid last June and watching your channel helped me me feel a lot more comfortable about air travel. Knowing that we have experienced pilots like yourself.
Glad it helps! Thanks Daniel.
Thanks once again for your expertise. Very informative
Thanks Juan for your frankness as per usual.
Thank you Juan! A very informative video from a professional pilot!!!
Love you, love your show. Heal quickly, heal well. Dirty little secret - I look at google maps a lot at work, and now every time I see a dam, I look for the spillway
Haa!
"The more you know..."
Especially if you're non-reving - best comment! One thing that I notice a lot when travelling is people will pull off their shoes the moment they get on an aircraft and put them back on just as we're about to deplane. I'm unsure how safe that is in the event of an evacuation since I would imagine the shoes would take some of the impact from the evacuation.
787 went back to 1950 technology with turbo compressors and refrigeration units like the DC8 and 707. Tried and true. Even the Dart engines had Roots blowers instead of bleed air. Great reporting.
Great information, presentation and learning, Juan. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad all made it out safely!
Good chance of delayed long term neurological effects if it was an engine seal leak.
As a pilot, not only that I am enjoying so much your videos, but also I keep lerning from each and every one of them.
Thanks Samuel!
Super informative! You covered a lot of info there. You didn’t mention just how toxic this jet oil smoke can be-maybe that’s just as well as there’s nothing the pax can do about it (other than fly strictly 787s!).
Thanks Dwight! (Folks, Dwight is my old USAF primary Flight Instructor!!)
Best video I have watched all day..!
Good video. And good luck with your new 787.
always an education. for someone not very aviatorish. thanks, always. take goid care mr browne.
Juan Browne, you are a wealth of information; information based on years of direct experience. As Always, Thanks ! Bob
Thank you sharing this interesting aviation data. You are appreciated.
Juan, I am a pilot - but Dude, your knowledge is amazing. As always, You are so informative - it's ridiculous.... Always watch, and always a "thumbs up"....
Thanks Obi-Wan!
Excellent work Juan.
Thanks Juan! Hope you get the opportunity to fly the 787. I was on a 787-10 Dreamliner in March (as a passenger; I’m not a pilot but follow aviation and aviation news stories) and was impressed!
"I'll miss going to London."
My only flight (as a passenger) so far on a 787 was coming back from London Gatwick.
Great 👍 report Juan.
Juan excellent video thanks! Wishing you all the best with your medical situation!
I am almost ready to fly a 777 and name all the parts of an airplane because of this channel! Your a great educator Juan! Glad your my teacher! ♡KBOS♡
Anyone else think about that old John Wayne movie, "Point of No Return" while Juan was giving an explanation for this Hawaiian flight.
Great information, it answered some of my questions.
Thanks for sharing another informative video.
Stan
Learned a lot Juan thanks much........
Wow, I learned so much from this video: Hawaiian fuel reserves and mid-"pond" points, what cockpit and cabin smoke masks look like, and that Mobil oil cans have a Concorde on them ;-)
Best wishes Juan for your return to the skies at the helm of a 787!
Because of Juan, I have more respect for the airlines and the dedicated pilots who fly them.
