I have returned to this video by Simon Lowe over the years as I was the Captain and interested in viewing the comments. Now retired and with Thomas Cook Airlines no longer operational would like to verify a few points.
It's not the same pilot as the Thomson B757 bird strike at Manchester.
The only automation for this Airbus A330-243 in a rejected takeoff is auto-brakes and spoilers.
There is more risk with an engine failure at high speed before V1 (point of no return) than after and continuing into the air, performance is based on one engine there maybe a emergency turn at some airports due reduced climb.
On this takeoff the First Officer was in control so it's likely the initial rudder input was from him only after the Captain calls"STOP" does control revert back to the left hand seat pilot. If two Captains are flying together both can call "STOP" but only the left hand seat pilot will reject the takeoff.
All reversers are selected regardless of the failure there's no time to workout which to use.
It was a single high pressure turbine blade failure not a bird strike.
Finally it was a team effort and would like to thank ATC, Fire crews, my First Officer for there professionalism and all 328 passengers apart from one who tied to sue me for excessive braking🤑 ironically that part was automatic🤔
Many thanks for that Andrew. Do you happen to remember where the flight was going to?
Simon Lowe's aviation channel. Hi Simon we were off to Punta Cana Dominican Republic
Wow, somebody really sue you??
I was wondering why this only has 3 likes but then i saw your comment was only 8 hours old, RUclipss algorithm is really interesting.
Great job BTW
Great job, Captain! Incidents like these happen and can turn disastrous within mere seconds! It's the experience and sheer presence of mind of pilots like yourself, which ends the episode with zero casualties. Kudos to you and the crew.
Never mind the idiot who sued you for excessive braking. He / she probably would have sued you anyway for the slow climb rate had you been forced to execute the take-off.
Awesome reaction from the pilot. Almost immediately opposite rudder and throttle down/reverse thrust. Fantastic.
im fairly sure that was the plane computer trying to keep it stable
No, autopilot does not touch rudder. The closest thing is the yaw damper, and that certainly wasn't yaw damper action.
why the auto-pilot doesnt touch rudders?
***** The rudder isn't used for course, heading, altitude, speed, etc. It's primary purpose is simply to provide yaw. Having an autopilot on the rudder doesn't really help anything, and is much more helpful in the hands of pilots when they're taxing on the ground or making corrections on the runway on takeoff roll and landing (like we see here); however, most aircraft have a "yaw damper", a simple autopilot which simply throws the rudder whilst in cruise if crosswinds are strong, or turbulence knocks the aircraft around. The 737NGX, for example, has a "yaw damper" indicator just above the PFDs which displays yaw forces on the aircraft, and how the yaw damper is reacting to it.
Jay Rohwer if there isn't autopilot on the rudder, how can the autopilot perform balanced turns or hold track in a cross wind?
Pilot reacted to the yaw instantly with the rudder, within 2 seconds they had airbrakes and reverse thrust out, didnt even deviate more than 20 feet form centerline.. awesome! (yes i know some of it's automatic)
Edit: chill guys stop squabbling like kids in the comments. "I know more!" "No, I know more!" No one cares. Just saying good job to the crew. Watch the video, enjoy it, and don't waste your time commenting.
I think that was the fly-by-wire system, not the pilot.
RTO autobrake kicks in at abandoned take off, spoiler activates regardless of the position but you still manually have to put reverse thrust, and rudder left.
Haz Hartridge no, you're wrong. completely wrong...
AV8R ok....
and how?
Haz Hartridge Fly-by-wire only means that all control are link thru electronic wires instead of hydraulic system. You probably mean the auto-pilot. In that case, you don't engage AP during take off. There is auto brake, and auto spoiler. But every thing else is credited to the pilot in this case.
This is an example of how safe the entire civil aviation system is. From aircraft design to pilot training and flight procedures in general. Great stuff!
All I could think about was how big of a lens that must be that filmed this. It was about 8 seconds between the flash and the boom. So, that's about 1-1/2 miles to the cameraman?
yes it was about 1.71 miles away from it, i noticed it as well :)
haha, I was lazy to calculate it. Thanks!
***** didnt i already give that answer? :p
ah okay, we calculated it exactly the same way :)
***** haha, I do know how to calculate it. What I was lazy about is the observation of time taken to reach :p
Crazy to see how much faster the speed of light is than the speed of sound.
n963ac 300 000 000m/s vs 340m/s
That's why most people appear smart until they speak.
@@AllanFolm Allan, that´s the funniest comment ever.....
@@AllanFolm 10,000,000 points awarded to you, sir. Brilliant comment.
Based upon the flash of orange light at 0:17 and the accompanying sound at 0:25, the lag between light and sound is 8 seconds. That means, the aircraft was filmed from a *distance of 2.74 km* , or 1.7 miles (assuming sound speed of 343 m/s).
Well, there goes a few million dollars in a puff of smoke...
+RoboTekno That's what insurance is for.
+RoboTekno its only "a small loan of a million dollar"
+Nicesisten The SBA (Small Business Administration a government agency) guarantees loans up to $5 million. Obama himself raised it from 2mil to 5. So ya 1mil is a small loan. But hey dont let facts get in the way of leftie sound bites.
Just a couple million
that was a compressor stall ,,, most times no damage .. it was just one pop,, if you dont back off the throttles it will keep stalling and will cause more damage
I like how you can clearly see the difference in speed between sound and light. The Bang is audible at 00:25, 8 seconds after the explosion. With these numbers you can calculate approximately the distance between camera and plane when engine failed, if you assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s, the distance is 2744m. And by the way, great job from the pilot immediately applying ruder!
We deploying the sabi now? With Egypt and morroco cover? 😭😂
Great reflexes by the pilot. Thumbs up.
JustifyJustin That shits loud af though. How could anyone not notice?
the reaction is made by the airplane computer.
@@tulaconalas mabe by the pilot they are.
Newer heared about auto yaw wtf 🤣
@ PauL1e on some aircraft there is a system called Engine Fail Assist and is activated during takeoff... in the event of an engine failure a computer will detect the reduction of RPM of the engine that failed and automatically move the rudder in the opposite direction.
@@TheFlyingZulu roger that
This happened at my airport once...727 middle engine. Sharp parts everywhere on the runway. Airport workers did a runway sweep, but in the dark, saw nothing.
Next four arrivals blew tires.
The real cover-up was the bad left main landing gear on the Concorde. The plane was significantly dragging to the left down the runway due to bearing/wheel spacer issues. The left MLG tires were distorting and getting above normal heat levels before the rotation velocity. The drag was so significant that the aircraft was way beyond normal liftoff distance when it hit the metal strip. If you do not have a significant crosswind report and you are using lots of right rudder and nose-wheel steering to keep the plane on the center-line you might want to do a rejected takeoff. Especially if you have not reached go-nogo velocity in the calculated distance.
*****, The Concorde had left port side MLG tire drags to the edge of the grass on the takeoff roll. Photographs from a stopped 747, looking at the oncoming Concorde, were analyzed and revealed the Concorde was way late in the rotation and liftoff. A rejected takeoff based on failure to achieve V1 at the calculated distance would have reduced the probability of a catastrophe from impacting the metal strip. The difficult prediction is that with a fully loaded aircraft, and a misbehaving left MLG, can you avoid some kind of over-stresses on the left MLG that might have caused a gear collapse or tire failure during the rejected takeoff?
DH: There were even more factors in the Concorde accident that were quietly reported but swept under the rug by the French investigation board. 1. Wind shift to tailwind, not reported to pilot by tower. 2. Extra cargo loaded after weight and balance done not reported to crew, which placed it out of aft c.g. limits,
Why not state what airport? Inexcusable thathey allowed the runway to remain open if partstill on the runway. But were any big enough to puncture tires? Suspect you are a liar.
Thank god it happened then......not while they rotated or were in the air.
well if they were in the air you can still fly with one engine for enough time to have an emergency landing, pilots train for this :)
Kirz94 True, but not during takeoff, especially right after rotation.
ilovesudan well they can still gain altitude during one engine bird strike but encase of both engines failing, it is rare, and only happened a couple times before, and we cant stop it happening though
ilovesudan as soon as the plane reaches rotate and lifts up pilots usually pull the engines down to 40/50% to reduce noise over cities.
Heathrow is a good example, so is birmingham. So one engine at 100% is plenty to maintain positive rate of climb.
Dominic Warr No…that's not correct. We do not pull the engines back 40/50%. A heavy aircraft on initial climb would not keep flying with a power setting that low.
hope their extended powertrain warranty would cover that
sherlock tang 😂
sherlock tang yooo 😂😂😂 my mans 😂
sherlock tang: Clever!
They didn't have Apple Care, so....
Only in Britain can you hear ATC replying "Lovely" after an aborted take-off with fire brigade on its way.
LOL!
3 things impressive;
The seemingly millisecond response by the pilot or fo.
The quality of the fire crew.
The quality of Simon's work. ...grats!
The engine sneezed
LOL! Good stuff.
Kevin Arnold That was one heck of a loogie produced from the sneeze. I hate when that happens.
Indrid Cold you were on a plane when that happened?
last fart:D
That would analogous to a "surge" - backfire through the compressor. The title says it was a blade-off. Trent compressor blade?
Everytime I observe how professional and calm things are going at airports, I can't help but shed a tiny little tear... :-)
the pilot's quick reacting to do full rudder left is amazing
Typical no nonsense solving of the problem. No Omygods. No bullshit. No panicky radio messages from anybody.
It's one of the most beautiful things about that business. The airline business itself is fucked, and customer service isn't even expected at all. But I have high praise for ALL the pilots and they can seem pretty easygoing when you say thanks for a nice flight and you step of the plane, but experienced pilots are just amazing people. Your comment is excellent John Smith.
Look at what Sully did, and many others have performed virtual miracles over the years. Okay, not landing safely and perfectly in a river, but bird strikes as they approach rotation, or even immediately after, etc etc. Pilots JUST DO.
There is no bullshit. I love it. People can talk all the trash they want about pilots. These guys and gals are some of the few remaining people to be truly respected and looked at in awe.
Yeah, maybe a little bit of a pedestal, but I'll trust them with my life over the course of 10 hours before I'll trust a cop the same way.
That's how it usually is. It's only in Hollywood where everyone yells and screams.
sully was a damn fool he could of made the airport
*****
I doubt if many people even noticed. As you can see there were no panicky emergency chutes opening with people sliding down. It was in England after all. More likely everyone on board was annoyed that they'd have to change planes before they could continue their holiday.
*****
A loud bang outside the aircraft, yes. but probably hardly noticeable above the fast rolling and pre take off noises on the inside.
I still love how British people still say, "Lovely".
Australians say "Bloody Beautiful Mate".
Canadians say "Eh".
Bloody Lovely Eh!!!!
Irish say: wankah!!
*EXCELLENT PILOT!!!* He deployed that rudder perfectly to keep the jet going strait.
i'm sorry but it's straight
Unless your name is George...
Roshan S Well, the jet was in straits after the engine blade broke off. I guess.
It looks like there I water in the background, maybe. Perhaps the runway is next to straits I am just trying to help. I do not think I am succeeding.
Dire sense of humour there, I'm thinkin'..
He can probably spell "straight" correctly too.
Pilot had excellent reaction. Time between the engine blowing and the rudder correction was very good. Excellent job.
0:16 damn that reaction time tho
Maybe some sort of autopilot? Or just amazing reaction time
Takeoff is entirely manual, so that's pure pilot skill
Roshan S its aviation traction control.
what is that ?
We train for this stuff on a regular basis. Even though an engine failure on takeoff is very rare, we are always ready for it; almost expecting it to happen.
The PF (Pilot Flying) reacted exactly as trained.
Thank God it happened on the runway and not in the air...
***** how would that have bn safer?..
+k hill could've crashed into something/killed lots of people, whereas in the air it can still glide down onto a safe place
+ShadowVyrus it can still fly in the air with 1 engine most planes these days can fly with just 1 engine
yeah I know that ^_^, I just didnt watch the video yet...my bad
+kelt thomas They not only can, they must be able to take off on one engine. Of course, with the then asymmetric thrust it isn't a joyride.
And this is why you can never remove a pilot from the airplane,,,No computer can beat a pilot, NONE,,,,And it is proven,,,
agreed
fredrikstadmann Dumbass.
fredrikstadmann Some pilots rely on the Auto-Pilot too much though lol
touge410 well you never use auto pilot on the ground
I know lol, I meant to say a majority of the time (when they're in the air and landing). Should of been more specific.
My dad flew for American. Back in the mid to late 70's he was climbing out of SFO in a DC10-10 when the number 1 engine (left, wing) blew itself right off the mount. Pieces of the engine were recovered from Knots Berry Farm. I read the incident report and letters of appreciation from passengers and corporate execs. He retired on the 747 after 31 years of service.
Is that the same captain from the Thomson 263H bird strike? Sounds very similar. If it is I bet he's fed up of losing engines at Manchester!
+EJ192 holy shit... it is him
+The Flying Gasmask He should be exorcised
***** poor guy, every time he flies the engine blows up XD
+EJ192 My thoughts EXACTLY!!!
I went back and saw the original Thomson bird strike video and this is actually the same guy that recorded that (Simon Lowe)
Tower: "Lovely" Ahhhh.
Commander Xorph It is a splendid thing indeed when the jet fails on the runway. Every pilot should always hope their jet fails on the runway and not at 35,000 feet.
I'd just like to say that I'd much rather an engine came apart on the tarmac rather than at FL350, speaking from the perspective of someone on the ground who's not always wearing a hardhat. The debris gotta come down somewhere, and I don't wanna be that somewhere.
+Commander Xorph "They actually said "Splendid""
1:10 "Lovely"
I'm English and the chatter on frequency was calm. I'd be totally loosing my shit blaming the engine lease company the air port the staff the cunts who filled the tanks my cat what I had for lunch the fact I never used punctuation -__- ... lol
Commander Xorph v1...ro ta té positive rate gear up... BOOM permission to loose your shit
Impressive reaction time!
Skräcken jafan!
The pilot is probably like fuck my damn engine blew up lol
I love it
Lol
Good pilot, he caught that quick. I've seen planes get half way off the side of the runway before the pilot realizes what's happened.
I love how this vid has the ATC audio as well as the runway footage, Awesome vid.
I always loved Simon Lowes' videos....and hes always there to catch the action..Thanks for sharing Simon..!
At approximately 105 kt on a takeoff roll on Runway 23R at Manchester, the right engine failed, emitting a flash and smoke from the exhaust. The crew quickly established that there was a loss of power and aborted the takeoff, brought the aircraft to an emergency stop on the runway and taxied clear using the unaffected left engine. Inspection of the right engine revealed there had been a failure of a single HP turbine blade which had detached, resulting in a high power engine surge and further secondary damage to the IP and LP turbines and nozzles. The blade failure was caused by high cycle fatigue (HCF) crack propagation with crack initiation resulting from ‘Type 2 sulphidation’ corrosion.
***** The defect cannot be found in daily check. That's impossible to do borescope inspection every times in transit.
Fantastic. There was so little time between the explosion and the rudder being applied. Not to mention engine reversal and braking.
This is nothing compared to A380 engine explosion in Batam Indonesia ... The heavy steel rotor exploded in pieces like bomb shrapnel .. destroying part of wing ...and fell on a school just few CM from a kid ..
I'm glad I'm not the only one who like to see the pilot's quick reaction to the engine failure 👍🏾👍🏾
I think the crew did a FANTASTIC job reacting to the failed engine!!! No one could've reacted any faster or even any better!!! Good Job.
You were so lucky to film this!
Perfect rudder reaction. Almost like opposite lock!
THANK YOU for not editing the sound to coincide with the explosion....that's what the news and movies always do. The sound delay gives it a very authentic (because it is) feel.
Actually, they did. The normal light/sound delta at 0:16 and the zoomed in unnatural light/sound speed delta at 0:44
Oh my God!!!! The sound delay was so awesome!!! And you're very lucky it came over the dip before it exploded
What cool about this video is that the camera is almost near the center line of the runway so you can see the plane trying to turn toward the dead engine and the pilot quickly applies left rudder to correct.
It's almost two miles away, pretty easy to have the appearance of center.
No matter what angle it was shot from, it's likely that the impression would be the same. Unless you just found out that airplanes exist, you're looking for his feet to tromp to the floor, so you'll see it.
Turbine blade: aight imma head out
Fantastic video. You could wait a million years to capture something like this, couldn't you? Incredible that it even 'waited' to clear the hump on the runway so you could film it clearly!! Thanks for a great post.
Great Video, mate! Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Hamburg
I used to make and repair the turbine blades for jet aircraft. It often shocked me how many planes were flying with blades in seriously deteriorated condition. It only takes a minute crack in a blade for the stresses to make it unstable.
Seems like there have been a rather large number of incidents the past few years related to compressor or fan blade failure. Don't have any data about how it stacks up to the past, but it seems to be the cause of most of the headline incidents in recent memory.
So eerie reading this comment after the SWA accident! Well said! Engines that turn this RPM under load for so many hours need to be in the tightest tolerance and conditions!!! Lessons learned.
Amazing catch !
Wow...what a catch! Great job Simon
Really nice video! I love how the pilots immediately took evasive action with that rudder right after the engine fail
I'm a Boeing guy but don't blame Airbus for this. It's a fan blade detachment so blame the engine manufacturer.

+TaffoTDX Blame Rolls-Royce
randotaf Rolls-Royce not CFM duh
Jerry Watkins if it isn' boeing, I'm not going!
That's how a professional handles it. Scared the shit of the passengers though... :)
P.S. I like how long it took for the sound to travel to the camera...
That sure sounded like the same captain. Great video! Everyone working together like that and the cowling (is what what it's called?) around the engine containing the explosion proves how safe modern aviation is.
Great video Wolf!
You realise how big these machines are when the emergency services come to its aid.
the reaction time of the pilot is amazing. Well done
It wouldn't matter, and if they were at rotate, they would have called it and lifted off and come back to the airport. What's the difference between that potential and a bird strike DURING rotation?
You mean V1? He would have just taken off as normal, albeit on one engine, circled around, and landed.
If the pilot had taken off with just one engine and a full load of fuel, the damage to the aircraft would have been extensive.
Engine failure would not have allowed enough time to dump fuel, so the aircraft would have been landing over the maximum landing weight. Tires would have been shredded.
I worked flight test on A330 aircraft back in 93-94.
Nice to see there're pilots with nice reactions :) Awesome video!
I'm impressed with the quick reaction from the pilots.
Wow he got on the rudder and reversers quick, brilliant job!
Just a little backfire. Adjust the carburetor and maybe get new spark plugs and everything will be fine.
+butlerproman Lol
+butlerproman They should top off their headlight fluid while they're at it.
Dylan Tucker Yes, all fluids should always be checked before takeoff. Also, it wouldn't hurt for them to check their timing. Maybe back off on the spark advance lever on their steering wheel.
+butlerproman a bottle of Sea Foam in each tank would do the trick.
dcs002 Now yer talkin'! Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to change the points in the distributor. Sheesh! I forgot I knew all this mechanical stuff. I should be working for the airlines.
Brilliant catch, well done! Would you be okay with me featuring parts of this video in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
Yes, with credit and a link to my channel you may use parts of this video. Thanks for asking!
well thomas cook reacted to this accident super quick, i always felt that thomas cook had such a safe flight record and they do, all their accidents are very minor and are delt with quick. they are a dream to fly with!
Here's an example to the power of the jet engine: You saw when the right engine failed and provided no thrust the plane yawing to the right dramatically. That one engine shifted 200 tons of aircraft in half a second in a spin if the pilot hadn't reacted quick enough. What would we be with out jet engines :D
well of course it's powerful.. it's responsible for propelling those ~200 tons into the air at 500mph.. more of an example of physics than anything
dan428 well now, THATS A LOT OF AIRPLANE! And when it blew the engine, I thought the whole engine would explode
VERY fast responce to failure. Throttles closed, reversers deployed and max braking almost immediately!!
Its automatic.
Great capture. Thanks!
I always love watching the little guys come to help out the mama bird. LOL
great to see this fast reaction by PIC
See that thing yaw right and the left rudder go full,,awsome
Quick reaction by the pilots. Great footage, Simon.
Many thanks MrPielover61. I didn't know that the fail assist was that intricate or involved. Very cool.
Wicked reflexes PF! And well done crew!
Pilot does reverse trust earlier than you here the noise of the explosion.
Speed of light verses speed of sound?
@@mikemorris3421 that means his reaction time was faster than the speed of sound!
@@armandovillalta5492 Key word being referenced is "earlier"nothing to add on the sequence of events.
No its the sound because its far so the sound may delay
@@mikemorris3421 That's obvious clear to me, I wrote that because of the tele factor of the lense.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you, that one of our engines just exploded. We will be burning - oh sorry I mean going back to the terminal - shortly."
That was a fast reaction of the pilots, well done ! Good to see they know how to react in these situations!
Thanks for this video.
V-1 clearly wasn't achieved luckily
Bartek Marchewka still would have taken off easily. these are designed to take off with 1 engine.
Mark J ok captain mark.
Mark J actually, it could only fly once it hit V2
Each engine developes well over 25 million pounds of thrust and thats at a throttle setting of a mere 60 percent of MSL max power.
The Aircraft is essentially able to rotate at minus V1.
Yes thats correct - get airborne during a reversing ground roll.
Read the performance data closely.
Mr Inout Fascinating! 25 million pounds, is that true? Jeez.
And could you elaborate on the second half of the comment? What do you mean by aircraft could rotate at -V1? What's a reversing ground roll?
Fantastic reflex...
:-)
Great video!
Amazing pilot / systems response. Great footage!
Chip chip cheerio we just ingested a suicidal bird into our right hand engine. Lovely. LOL
Good thing this happened on the ground and not in the air
the plane would have just landed at the nearest airport, twin engine planes can fly comfortably on one engine
"comfortably" isn't the word i would use... They'll fly pretty well, but generally can't climb worth a crap if loaded.
This is not true. If the plane was not able to climb on one engine, it would be doomed on an engine failure after V1. Off course it is certified to take-off and climb on a single engine after V1.
***** : That's not a question of risking it... The pilot has threshold speed for taking the right decision in case an engine fails, at low speeds he must abort, at high speed he must contine the take off on one engine because that's the best option. Look for V-Speeds on wikipedia.
***** they wont be fucked though because the plane is certified to take off with 50% of the engines if failure occurs after v1, 191 was due to an error in the emergency procedure training combined with the lost of hydraulics extending the slats
Impressive reactions, less than a second from the slew of the aircraft to the pilot applying the rudder. And about a second later and the reverse thrusters were on.
that rudder correction,,, almost instant, good job PIC!!!
Just lucky that this happened on the ground instead of in the air. Also interesting to note the length of time between seeing the puff from the engine and hearing the sound at the camera location.
that has to do with that whole speed of light v. speed of sound thing right there. Imagine some conspiracy dicklicker will have another "theory" soon enough
It looks like 6-7 seconds from the visual to the audio report. Sound travels at 300m/s, so this corresponds to a distance of 2km from the plane to the camera. That is perfectly consistent with the remaining length of the runway to a legal position for a plane spotter.
Oh, I'm familiar with all that. :) I think it's really cool to see it in action, every time it presents itself. Even in small differences, such as the slight delay between seeing and hearing the mailbox door shut when the mail man's here. :)
It wouldn't matter where it happened. Its actually safer if it happens in the air because the plane already has speed.
It's actually less risky to have this happen in the air than during the takeoff roll.
Nice reaction time.
Amazing catch mate
this is a beautiful video, birds chirping, a multi million dollar ending exploding in the background LMAO
That was probably over a mile away because you didn't hear the bang until about 7 seconds after it happened (762 mph) = 1 mile in 5 seconds soo
about 2744 meters
Haha "Lovely". Typical Brits
Nice job capt. No one knows but you and your F/O. Kept it on the ground and CL. You, and everyone behind you, win!
Beautiful video!!
Poor maintenance if I understood the report correctly.
But nice reaction. Fernando Alonso would be happy with that.
If it was "entirely possible," as you put it, the engine would never have achieved certification for service. Somewhere, some time, something went wrong.
*****
I earned my FAA Powerplant license in 1964, and I have the impression that you know nothing of aircraft engine life-cycle development, testing, certification and continuous monitoring. Please correct me if I am wrong. Or are "massive," "HUGE," and "miracle" valid engineering terms with which I am somehow not familiar?
It's a good thing it happened while they're still on the ground.
+Greek Refactored Noted. But, I'm the "It could have been worse" kind of guy, so I'm still glad it didn't happen while they're already in flight.
eh it depends on where they are in their takeoff run. If they're close to V1 they're going to have a hell of a time stopping. If it happens after V1, they need to take off on one engine regardless because there A) isn't enough runway to stop and B) they have sufficient airspeed to take off which is the safest option at that point.
Fortunately in this case they were nowhere near V1.
It’s amazing how sound travels.... Few seconds delay from reaching camera mic... Pilots awesome reaction... Reason for paying attention during power up to take off role
Wow! That reaction to bring the aircraft under control is amazing!!!
Are you sure this was an explosion? Cause it looks like a flameout to me.
In a flameout, you wouldn't see any flames. Flameout refers to the flames in the combustion chamber being extinguished (or going "out"). A slightly misleading name, granted, but there is a difference between flameout and engine surge (which we see in the video).
This wasn't a flameout, this was a flame out :D
Air accident report on this - www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/december_2013/airbus_a330_243__g_omyt_.cfm
A flame out means engine stops with no bang sound, usually happens when fuel is cut off to the engine, be it out of fuel, or a blockage of a fuel line.
nightfox Or it happens because of air deprevation
Wow quick reflexes.
The aircraft software provided the quick reaction. As soon as the plane detected loss of thrust in that motor, it compensates with rudder control.
It was on takeoff roll one pilot has his hand on the throttles the whole time just for that reason.
VaporheadATC Incorrect. I don't know where this belief comes from but Airbus aircraft have no active protection or automatic compensation on the ground. The rudder kick you see here is entirely pilot reaction, no auto-rudder on the ground.
Great work by the pilot
great report
Looks like a compressor stall to me. Seems like the a330 doesn't have engine stall mitigation on take off roll. Pilots have to be quick to not let the other engine push it off the runway (hence the rock and heavy rudder almost a hard over).
I thought so too... and then read the description.
That's called "rudder compensation" which is an automatic function of the aircraft systems. (Saying systems to stay comprehensive in technical terms).When 1 engine fails, like here for example, the rudder will compensate the the yaw movement caused by the loss of thrust of the failed engine. No pilot reaction in this video I think.
Seb Ameal Incorrect. There is no auto rudder compensation on the ground. This is entirely pilot reaction.
Seb Ameal Mr. Ameal...I assume you have little or no heavy jet experience? I have flown over twenty years on Airbus models (over 2000 hours on the A330 alone) and if you are genuinely interested in what you saw on this video is a SOP (standard operating procedure) rejected takeoff while it suffered bird ingestion below V1. The aircraft (and that applies to all jet transports) do NOT apply any opposite compensation rudder or anything else with the exception of autobrake assuming it has been selected ON prior to takeoff. We train our entire careers to handle these emergencies and if it were that easy there would be many more airline pilots flying. Skill cannot be replicated entirely with automation contrary to what you have read or believe. This crew reacted with complete professionalism thanks to their training.
thebiffer100 Thanks for the info.
The sound of the explosion took 8 seconds to reach you? Quick what's that in feet/miles?
so vjdeo was taken between 1.5 and 1.75 miles away??
Stanger182
You forget that the video and audio could be out of sync.
Stanger182 makes sense, that runway is probably 10-12k feet which would be just over 2 miles long and a commercial airliner would rotate (takeoff) after about 6-7k feet so this being over a mile away makes sense.
8*340 = 2720 meters
8 x 1100 fps = 8800 ft. 1.5 mi.
For those of you who dont know. This a/c G-OYMT has suffered multiple failures of the right engine in the past, this video evidently captures the engine giving up for good.
The rudder yaw to the left is PILOT INPUT & not autopilot.
+Dave Chadwick Exactly, since the A/P doesn't engage on the ground.
Captain: "This is your captain speaking. One of our engines went bang." xD
