    I was a Captain on the Otis Spunkmeyer DC-3 when this incident occurred. I also owned a Helio Courier H-295 which I based at Schellville, CA in Sonoma County. Two United Captains had small antique aircraft at Schellville. One of them named John was on the United Airlines Board of Inquiry into this incident at SFO. John, told me that the First officer flying was what they called a "Bunkie." He only flew the 747 enroute on long haul flights. United had decided to upgrade him to Senior First Officer based on his tenure with the company. The only experience he had in the actual aircraft was one Take-off and Landing during his initial checkride in the 747, and his six months sim training consisted of the enroute segments of long international flights. During his initial flight training in Cessna aircraft, no emphasis was put on use of rudder. This incident scared the United management to its core.
    I've flown out of SFO many times while flying Be-18s and DC-3s for cargo airlines in the '70s. Takeoff from the 28 runways is very easy. The procedure is to follow the 28 localizer in order maintain the 28 extended center line course through the Gap between the coast mountains on the left and San Bruno Mountain off to the right. Not only did the "Bunkie" not correct the asymmetrical thrust with rudder, he used aileron and let the airspeed deteriorate. The Captain did not monitor the situation, he never mentioned that the plane was drifting to the right. He was severely reprimanded after the investigation. The Captain was known to be a weak pilot, however, nothing was done to remedy this.
    When the 747 flew over San Bruno Mountain, it set off car alarms on the streets in the subdivisions on the North side of the mountain. There are numerous broadcast antennas on top of the mountain. We're lucky that the plane passed to the West of these.
    Several United Captains and First Officers were sent for retraining as a result of this wakeup call, and United revised its training and hiring requirements.

      I had heard that the FO was also an AF Reserve pilot used to doing long trans-pacs in a C5 where is there is hours and hours of riding and a few moment of actual flying the aircraft.
      RE: "During his initial flight training in Cessna aircraft, no emphasis was put on use of rudder", my commercial license was earned in a Citabria...on the first take off my instructor growled in my ear..."LOOK AT TURN AND SLIP INDICATOR...YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO COORDINATED FLIGHT! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEARN TO FLY IN A CESSNA...NOW YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN WHAT A RUDDER IS FOR AND TO REALLY LEARN HOW TO FLY"!

      Robert Campbell it seems almost unreal to think his first action was not rudder during an engine failure. And what about the scan? Was the balance bar just completely ignored? Really makes you wonder what exactly both pilots were doing at the time besides staining the seats.

      @robertcampbell1280 4 года назад +33

      @@Aushumanoid The Captain was not a strong pilot. The Bunkies have little or no time actually hand flying because they just monitor the aircraft in cruise when the autopilot is handling the flying chores. This was the Bunkie First Officer's first actual takeoff in the 747. He was not trained adequately on use of rudder, and, he was behind the airplane. In other words, his mind was not ahead of the plane as it should have been. The Captain was at fault because he knew it was the F/O's first takeoff, and he should have been monitoring his actions more closely. -- This same scenario played out in the Air France crash into the Atlantic a few years ago in an Airbus A330. Two Bunkies were flying the plane. They stalled the plane and kept it in a stalled, nose up condition all the way down to the Atlantic Ocean below.

      I'm not sure how many passengers would have been aware of the proximity to the mountain at the time. I was sitting in the middle section so I couldn't see anything outside, as it was night time. Perhaps some passengers with window seats may have seen something but it didn't seem like anyone was aware of anything except that there was some kind of emergency (we'd heard loud bangs from the starboard side and the captain had announced that we were dumping fuel and returning to SFO). I suspect that most of the passengers on that flight have remained blissfully unaware of what happened (or what didn't happen) that night.

      LAWRENCE S HELM a compressor stall absolutely can raise the temperature significantly, and they can be temporary, or they can be prolonged. Which is why most emergency procedures have you retard the engine, then advance it, and if the condition recurs the engine is shut down.

    That was my first thought when the co-pilot used aileron to stop the drift. Rudder. Using the ailerons throws up the spoilers when you really don't want them to.
    Basic stick and rudder skills are degrading in commercial pilots who rely heavily on automation, although this is the fault of the airlines, not the pilots.

      Marco partly true. The FO who stalled AF447 had less experience than the FO in the left seat. Poor CRM is what contributed to AF447. The left seat pilot did not know wha Th right seat pilot was doing. I suspect turbulence prevent him from seeing the airplane attitude, but the stall warning sure told them all they need to know. If CRM was done right the left side pilot would have taken over. They had time to recover. Although as they say hindsight is 20/20 and since I was not there I have no clue on the dynamics on what was happening in that cockpit.

    Your graphics are so crisp and clear it looked like a drone was hovering over the airport filming the aircraft. The view at 1:55 looks like your setting the cockpit of the real thing. Wow, now that was a close call, these guys got lucky. I was reading MS Flight Simulator 2020 is gonna be released next year. I might have to check in to that. Another great video tfc, thank you for your work and for sharing.

    Back in 1998 when I was a kid I used to live in Pacifica which is 9 miles to the west on the oceanfront from the airport. I would look up at the right times to see my favorite 747s and a340s heading out over the pacific ocean. I would always watch the sky and I got used to the flights that would head over me while waiting to be picked up from school for example. This flight must have gone straight over my head but at least I lived on the other side of the mountain and not on it.

    Another brilliantly told tale by TFC. Inexperience and lack of knowledge almost caused a disaster which should never have happened. Once a 747 reaches V2 speed it's more than capable of climbing and flying on 3 engines. It's very fortunate on this occasion anyway, everyone on board got away with it.

I have worked some off-site meetings at office located at the end of Oyster Point Blvd (on the bay and adjacent to San Bruno Mountain) often. The air traffic there already seems quite low given the proximity to the airport. Thankfully, this was a tragedy that was avoided.

    I'm not a pilot, let alone one with a commercial, multi-engine rating, but even I thought that using the aileron as opposed to the rudder to counter the effects of the loss of one engine in a 747 during takeoff was a bad idea due to the increased drag at slower speeds...it's simple physics.

    This crew was lucky to escape given the poor handling of an engine out situation. The aircraft is designed to be able to climb and turn in these circumstances. When I flew the B737 we did real airplane engine cuts in training and it was instinctual to feed in rudder to centre the ailerons and keep the spoilers down. Of course doing 6 legs a day in the mountains gave us plenty of stick time. These days the prevailing philosophy is to automate, and pilots are loosing the feel of the machine.
