    Pilot error is a group of things that are not done, noticed, executed, changed, or corrected. This crew had a very challenging approach and the profile and conduct of the landing became unstable. Normally corrections can be made, but there is a lot of times that adequate runway length creates the impression of safe operation as could have happened here. A go around is sometimes the best choice. You also have to realize that the crew has a strong bias towards completing the approach and correcting deviations in profile and airspeed. Airline protocol often prescribe a minimum altitude under which an unstabilized approach cannot be continued, but each operator can use his judgment to act even sooner than that.

    Lesson #1 when unsure, go around. There's plenty of time to accelerate to V2 after touching down. Instead of late braking, using reverse thrust and pushing it, they should have have gone around the moment they touched down an realized that brakes did not activate for a while. Remember, if the brakes did not activate they would not have lost much speed even if they rolled for a third of the runway.

    • @redblade43
      @redblade43 5 лет назад +1

      Just as well you are not a pilot. You cannot engage the engines on full thrust and try to fly around again, the aircraft would have been travelling too slow to fly up.

    • @robertzeurunkl8401
      @robertzeurunkl8401 5 лет назад

    • @redblade43
      @redblade43 5 лет назад

      rob.
      In that scene the aircraft had already landed and the pilot has engaged reverse thrust; in order for a 747 to get airborne again, it will need at least 10,000 ft of runway to build up momentum and wind strength. What you are talking about is when an aircraft (like a large commercial jet)) is already in the air.

    • @robertzeurunkl8401
      @robertzeurunkl8401 5 лет назад

      I must have not caught that part of the video. I thought they hit the burst while still in the air on final, not yet having contact the ground. That said, they might need a full runway on departure with a full load of fuel, but they are significantly lighter at the arrival station. I think they could have made a go around as they were already at flight speed (ie, they were in flight already). I might have to rewatch that one and see.

    • @robertzeurunkl8401
      @robertzeurunkl8401 5 лет назад +1

      3:30 - he noticed the autobrake is disengaged *right at touchdown* . At this point, he already has enough speed to take off again. He should have gone full thrust, and taken a go around. he'd have had plenty of speed already to take off in very little runway distance. Instead, he tries to brake the plane without the reverse thrusters engaged in time. I don't know how accurate the time scale is in the video, but it looks like he went on for about ten seconds before braking at all. That is a LONG time.

On a night flight, I was able to look into apartment windows and watch people eat dinner. Unsettling to say the least. Kai Tak was closed in 1998 and replaced by the current Hong Kong International about 20 miles to the west and having a much better approach and takeoff geography.

      It would've been disastrous if it did happen and probably circulated world wide, so as far as I remember it thankfully didn't.

    The 'Old' Kai Tak airport was in the middle of high rise buildings, Pilots landing there had to have special skills ,given the lack of CRM at that time the left turn of the aircraft could have been avoided perhaps had the Captain discussed with the co pilot, however, seniority and 'Face' would have precluded such action at that period of cockpit management,especially in Asia.

    Everyone survived because the captain of a passing tugboat, realising that a Jumbo was a bit out of place floating free in Victoria harbour, got in behind the plane and pushed it back up to the bank beside the runway. At that time the water level in the back of the plane was already up to chest height because the hull was punctured as it went over the wall. If the tug hadn't done that there would have been drownings.

      At some point during the recovery and salvage operation, the decision was taken to saw off the tail, since it presented a potential obstacle to aircraft on takeoff and climb out. I remember hearing about that on the news a few days after the accident happened. It took several days to move the aircraft away from where it had crashed.

      Belief that this occurrence was real is questionable. I saw that plane, saw the Jets much later. Anyone that would have hijacked an aircraft from a International Airport would have been covered by MSM for days. The conversation between the alleged plane stealer and the tower at SeaTac being broadcasted live in real time has never been done. Because it would never be allowed. So I have learned with these kind of FF not to focus on what I see and hear but rather what I don't see, I don't hear.. Perhaps we all need to look at the logic to assess events logically

    I've seen vidoes of planes taking off/landing at Kia Tak, simply insane that they never had a plane fly into a building or into the side of that hill. If I were piloting something huge like that 747 into Kia Tak during a typhoon, I'd seriously be thinking divert to another airport.
    Obviously this pilot missed his approach and tried to land the plane anyways instead of going around. If he had gone around again(like he should have) who's to say he would have made the approach the 2nd time? I'm not a pilot, but with winds like that, being less than 1000' from the tops of buildings, I'd be worried about a downdraft pushing the plane too low(there have been several accidents like that, its called a microburst).

    • @julosx
      @julosx 5 лет назад

      The obsession for landing ASAP no matter what is an well-known "illness" called "get-there-itis". That's definitely what was going on in this case.

    • @YouTube.TOM.A
      @YouTube.TOM.A 5 лет назад

      Aaron Bays jolosx I have to disagree with your assessment. Yes this was pilot error and a go around would have been better but diverting to another airport and doing a go around is not an Aversion for most Airline pilots. It is practiced all the time in training and is not a decision that is resisted. The most common problem may be prompt recognition of go around situations, where pilot corrections to remedy, may not be timely.

      @YouTube.TOM.A 5 лет назад +1

      Pilots with a lot of hours are generally safer and not more likely to be complacent. sometimes you have Airplane, Weather, Airport, ATC instructions all working together to make a tough day where your flying skills appear diminished. Windshear was a factor.

    If you don't have sense at first to take off again, then you attempt a massive U turn at the end of the runway. Yes the plane will tip. But that is preferable to going in the water.
