It’s a maneuver that glider pilots do, it’s never supposed to be attempted in a heavy jet. If you search up “air Canada flight 143 landing animation,” you will find an animation that correctly shows a side slip, you’ll know when you see a “drift” I can’t explain it very well.
@@iakdrawllim4127 a very basic definition is to tip the wings in one direction, and move the rudder in the opposite direction. It helps the aircraft to lose altitude quickly
This is the Gimli glider. And there is so much more to this. First, it wasn't just 1 small mistake. the aircrafts Fuel management system had failed, its motherboard was broken, and spare boards were not kept at every airport. A single part on the board had burned out. BUT the board as part of production was covered in plastic so it couldn't be repaired. Only replaced.. and the plastic covering caused resisters to overheat and fail. The board wasn't critical, it just meant you couldn't see how much fuel was on board. It was marked and tagged, with a new motherboard waiting for the aircraft at Edmonton. The refueling crew was operating with loading pounds of fuel from a tank that showed Liters. with converting to kg and pounds... they loaded x number to match kg of fuel instead of pounds... so their calculation ws 2.2046 off. (think loading 10 pounds of fuel instead of 10 KG which would be 22.046 pounds... or 45% of the required amount. NEXT the pilot knew Gimli field, he had flown gliders out of it, it was still there and long enough.... he didn't know..... A: they had put a concrete divider down the middle of the runway... and B: that that day was actually, family race day, with kids and parents out on the track. And a 767 doesn't have a horn to warn people such as children riding bikes on the track... The aircraft remained in service till 2008, when it was retired, attempts to save it, at least in part failed and by 2015 it was scrapped.
It got a slightly better fate than just being "scrapped" while technically, it was in fact scrapped, peices of the aircraft were turned into keychains by the company "PLANETAGS" and sold to people who wanted to own a peice of this incredible aircraft.
@@anonboy7314 thats cuz he and the other kids learned from the promethias school of running away from things. rather then running side to side... they decided it best to flee DOWN the runway on their bikes... trying to out run the crashing plane behind them.
@@jenniferstewarts4851 it’s a child. No child should ever have to worry about a several hundred thousand pound airliner landing on them because of negligence

AC143 aka The Gimli Glider. Piloted by Bob Pearson and copiloted by Michael Quintal. Pearson used a maneuver used by gliders to slow the plane down enough to land on an abandoned military runway.
On Mayday, I learned that while the plane was hurtling down the drag strip, there were 2 kids on bicycles at the end of the drag strip. They were just having fun and then, they see this massive plane heading straight for them. Luckily, they turned around and the plane stopped.
Yep, that’s what I tried telling him a while ago to mention that and those kids are extremely brave wants I saw that I’m 14 right now bout 13 or 12 I watched that full video how those kids did that was a miracle
@furiousgeorge7727 The Captain could have, should have refused the airplane. The FO should have demanded the fuel load is correct or refused his/her service. Nothing is more important than the fuel load. No excuses.
@lesleysmyth9235 the races were done for the day but it was a weekend family event and two boys were biking on the track. Bc the engines were dead the boys didn't here the jet until it was almost on top of them. Pearson's recount of seeing the white in the boys eyes is kinda chilling
This story is very simplified (and understandably so with only 60s) but I actually painstalingly translated an article about it from English to Spanish. English is not my first language so it took me a couple dictionaries and around 8 hours but I learned and remembered a lot
There is a museum in filling manitoba, that actually has the tail, and other parts of the 767, and they have a realistic flight SIM that you can land the same way the 767 landed!
Pearson, the pilot who landed the plane at an old runway at Gimli, Manitoba did an awesome job Quintal his copilot as well. They saved lives that day. An amazing job of gliding such a long distance and landing safely was nothing short of a miracle. Especially since the runway was big used for a race track that day.
Pilots are fr heroes Also funny how cars were probably drifting there and the plane decided to join. Iconic story. Aaron as always makes quality videos
With kids playing on that closed runway - seeing a silent plane coming directly at them and racing on their bikes as fast as they could to get away! The pilots even see the terror on the kids faces- families were there that day racing cars and playing and bbqing etc everyone survived and was safe
This is the Gimli glider, the pilot used a maneuver called a slip which is used in gliders but never before in such a large commercial aircraft to get the plane down on a runway that was covered in cars and people until they saw the plane coming in
Follow up: did you know that the pilot almost got fired after making the landing because he had the plane take off when the fuel sensor was INOP, witch is not allowed on Air Canada, causing the plane to run dry of fuel.
The Gimli Glider (Air Canada Flight 143) was a Canadian scheduled domestic passenger flight between Montreal and Edmonton that ran out of fuel on Saturday, July 23, 1983,[1] at an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 m), midway through the flight. The flight crew successfully glided the Boeing 767 to an emergency landing at a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba, which had been converted to a racetrack. One of the pilot’s action was really smart and ended up saving lives~
Air Canada 143 was the first ever jet powered airliner to perform a successful emergency landing with no engines and have everyone on board survive. A never before seen feat of incredible flying changed the aviation industry for the better. Total engine failure was seen as unsurvivable by the aviation industry as a whole because up until this point, no jet powered aircraft that experienced total engine failure had landed without fatalities. AC143 "The Gimli Glider" proved the aviation industry wrong. Now pilots are properly trained on how to fly aircraft without engines, knowing now thanks to AC143, that it can be survived with proper airmanship.
Gimli glider. Ac tail 603. My dad flew that plane a few times after it was fixed and put back in service. It was later retired. You can buy Keychains made from the aluminum someone saved when the plane was scrapped.
This airplane is called "Gimli glider" because as he said, they lost both engines on that air canada flight and made an emergency landing in a former air base, at that time and now still to this day a racetrack called Gimli where they landed successfully with the front gear colapsing at the beginning of the "runway" because it didn't got locked in place. No one was hurt severly only a few minor injuries because of the slides in a bad angle because of the broken front gear. The captain Pierson is a hero but he, his co-pilot and some maintenance workers got punished and blamed for human error, because the flight took off with not enough fuel.
Something cool is that they still used the plane after the crash for a few years. Apparently there were people biking just ahead of the plane on the runway
The reason Bob Pearson glided the plane to Gimley Drag strip was because they was going too fast to touch down. According to Bob on Mayday Air Crash Investigations, He said he saw 2 boys on a bike around 1000 feet down the road. Bob knew he couldn't run them over, so he decided to collide with a barrier to the left. Now, Because the nose was tilted forwards, The back emergency slides wouldn't reach the floor fully. This meant that there was injuries caused.
British Airlways flight 9 is the definition of superior unbeatable CRM. The pilots rapid adaptive troubleshooting the 747's engine problems and landing in IFR conditions gave the pilots so many problems due to flying over an active volcano that put volcanic Slag in their engines. The landing was courage and strength of both pilots
Fun fact they tool apart the racetrack barrier fixed the plane there and flew it out after the incident. There are pictures and videos of that happening
