    This is the story of Malaysian airlines flight 124. It was 5:03 pm on the first of august 2005, a malaysian airlines boeing 777 was flying from perth australia to kuala lumpur malaysia. As the plane climbed through 38,000 feet the pilots got a low airspeed warning on the Engine indication and crew alerting system or the EICAS. Then they noticed that the slip / skid indicator was deflected all the way to the right. The slip / skid indicator shows the amount of lateral acceleration on the plane, in very simple terms if the plane is skidding through the air the slip / skid indicator will deflect to one side. In the cockpit, things were getting weirder by the second, The primary flight display now told the pilots that they were approaching the overspeed limit and the stall speed limit at the same time! Then things took a turn for the worse, the plane pitched up and started to climb, it climbed all the way from 38,000 feet to 41,000 feet, as they climbed the 777 started shedding some speed, it went from 270 knots to 158 knots. At this point the stick shaker and the stall warning went off telling letting the pilots know that they were dangerously close to a stall.
    In response to all of this the pilot disengaged the autopilot and pushed the nose of the plane down in an attempt to pick up some airspeed thereby avoiding the stall. But the 777 had a mind of its own, the nose pitched up again and the plane went into another climb. The crew contacted ATC and requested an immediate descent, they also requested for radar vectors back to perth, they needed to get this plane on the ground as soon as possible. The air traffic controller helped the crew verify a few basic instrument readings like altitude and ground speed, with that they began their descent.
    As they passed through 22,000 feet the pilot in command noticed that the primary flight display readouts looked normal, so he turned on the left hand autopilot, as soon as he did that the plane pitched down and banked to the right. He instantly turned the autopilot off. He then turned on the right hand autopilot and something similar happened, with that the pilots decided to hand fly the plane. ON their way back the pilots tried to disconnect the autothrottle, but for some reason it stayed armed.
    A while later the pilots were cleared to land on runway 03 at perth, when they were 3000 feet above the ground they got a low airspeed popup , on the Primary flight display, the autothrottle in response to this commanded more power from the engines. This made the landing a bit more difficult, making matters worse for the crew there was some moderate turbulence below 3000 feet, the winds were at 25 knots gusting to 30 knots, As they flew the approach the windshear warning system went off but the crew stuck with the approach. Soon after that the 777 landed safely and all aboard were safe.
    The story of flight 124 might not be as flashy or as dramatic as some of the other incidents that weve talked about on this channel, I suggest you watch the video about British airways 888, the 747 that flew through a forest if you want something a bit more dramatic but how this happened is very interesting to me , tiny little things had to go wrong in just the right way for this to happen, Kind of like a final destination movie so let's dive into that.

      Quite right. Also since incidents where people don't die a horrible death tend to be less well known, it is important to remember this when looking for potential flaws. It doesn't matter if we are talking about planes or flour mills. (both of which are known to explode, hence the example of flour mills as well as planes)
      Just because nobody died in a historical example, doesn't mean that will be true the next time it happens.

The 777 had one single button to turn on the ADIRU and couldn’t be turned off in flight. Because the whole unit was supposed to be fault tolerant there was no need to manually isolate faulty systems. If it had 2 separate IRS switches or even 3 like Airbus they could potentially have switched off the faulty system

    My father is a software engineer, and had an opportunity to interview for the 777 project. During the interview, he was very concerned to know that the plane would have mechanical backups to the electronic flight system, which the interviewer didn't take kindly to. The interviewer seemed to be under the impression that computer flight control would be flawless and there would be no need for mechanical backups. Dad didn't wind up getting that particular job. :) Fast forward probably 20 years or more, and a guy at my church, growing up, was a 777 pilot for American Airlines; according to him, there are mechanical linkages to the empennage, but I never did learn about whether there was backup mechanical control of the engines.
    I sent this video to my Dad in an email to vindicate him for his concern over relying completely on the computer. :)

      There is mechanical controls to the stabiliser and one wing spoiler on each wing. On the 787 there is nothing. The biggest issue on this incident was there was no way to manually isolate the faulty accelerometer as the ADIRU just had 1 button to turn on and it was supposed to self manage everything

    One thing I have noticed with several of these videos with pilots not being able to turn systems off is nobody thinks to pull the circuit breaker. Pilots have access to many circuit breakers in the cockpit, I would think some of these systems would be available to disable by simply pulling the breaker. I am an aircraft mechanic and many times that is how you fix a problem on the ramp is just recycle the circuit breaker and voila everything is happy. Especially with air buses.

    This is precisely the kind of incident that should remind everyone just why road vehicles should never become fully automated. Any computer, any system or any part is only as good as the human being that made it, or designed it, and we are not perfect, and neither are the things we build. Although over time, aviation and road use has become safer, it is due to many physical things changing, as well as the way we think, whilst we use these machines. Machines fail, humans fail, but there are two things I never want to see. 1) A person stood in court trying to blame a computer inside a car for that car killing someone and 2) A channel in 10 or 20yrs from now, that investigates incidents where someone's car accelerated out of control on a road, due to a technical failure of some imperfect subsystem during the car or truck's design phase, when the auto-throttle wouldn't switch off.

  • @kirkmooneyham
    @kirkmooneyham 2 года назад

    The aircraft I work have three ADIRUs. The ADIRUs are the heart and soul of so much of the avionics aboard modern large aircraft. There are a series of A-checks (scheduled maintenance tasks) that are done on a two month schedule. Each one has different tasks that are required to be accomplished. The A-checks go in a series that ends up repeating. So, you do an A-1, then the next is an A-2, and so on, until you get to A-6, then the A-7 is the same as an A-1, etc. Four cycles of these lead to a C-check at the 24 month mark, which is much more in-depth. The ADIRUs get tested on the A-3 (A-9) and A-6 (A-12) checks, and the annual cycle is repeated the next year. The tests can seem redundant if there have been no squawks on that bird, but they are there to catch those sort of failures BEFORE they become a problem.

The 747 Classics, where the safest as there was a controlled decision between crew members, the co-pilot would FLY the Aircraft, and the Captain and Flight Engineer would do try to solve the problem, and keep communication with all Crew Members so the flying pilot would be advisable to know if anything would change on Flight Control's

The signal sent by the secondary radar is much weaker than the one of primary radars, so this radars are also cheaper to operate since the energy consumption is significantly lower.
