Another superb video. Every time I have watched your uploads I have thought you could make very good instructional videos. There are thousands of real Pilots (and I am sure you could make video for them too) but there are millions upon millions of flight simmers of which a huge percentage need good instruction in digestible amounts. These are the ones who want to get serious and not just fly around for fun only. It is because you are so clear and measured in your delivery. Just an opinion. Good job.
Well explained, Captain. Hypnotic voice. I have added your channel to my list of subscribed aviation channels. Should thank YT for suggesting this channel..
Oh wow! This was very interesting. Your analysis and the preventative actions you described when encountering windshears and microbursts were very informative. The video, even though scary, was powerful evidence of what can be encountered in those dangerous conditions. Congrats on your job with Green Africa in my country. Hope you are able to coach our younger pilots and hope they learn a thing or two from you. Appreciate your videos. Cheers.
I started to working for VoePass a few months ago, it has been my first time working with the ATR as a mechanic, your videos are awesome, thank you for your great content!
I am not a pilot and I’m hardly ever even a passenger, but based on your description I now realize I witnessed a microburst just a couple months ago. It was terrifying. I watched a large branch blow right off a tree directly in front of my eyes. I couldn’t even see to the other side of the parking lot where I was. People who decided to run out to their cars were soaked by the time they got there. But after 20 minutes there was nothing but a drizzle. My mom was only about 5 miles away and she didn’t even see anything. I am curious though, during that time I could still hear airplanes flying overhead. My town is under an RNAV approach path for a medium-size US airport that mostly sees Southwest 737s, plus some business jets and a few A320s. Over my town these planes are usually at about 2000 feet. Would they have been affected by this microburst? If so, what do you think they were doing up there? If not, why?
Nice share Sir! We have quite intense rainy season now, so this kind of content is very useful. Any idea how to escape windshear soon after the climb procedure but not quite high enough from the ground (let’s say 600feet)?
@@FlywithMagnar thanks a lot sir. Once, I had an experience trapped inside a severe windshear area while making approach. My position was leveling off at 2000. The plane suddenly pitched up >10 and the speed dropped till Vminops from 170. That time the power was already in the notch. Before we selected MCT, thanks God, the plane was out of shear zone. so we could manage the flight back. Safe flight sir!
Answer #1: Blame it on the Americans. In 1988, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandated that all turbine-powered commercial aircraft must have on-board wind shear detection systems by 1993. Airlines successfully lobbied to have commercial turbo-prop aircraft exempted from this requirement. Answer #2: TAWS is terrain avoidance warning system. It uses GPS and radio altimeter to warn against close terrain. The "don't sink" alert shown in this video was triggered by the TAWS. A windshear warning is triggered by the weather radar.
@@FlywithMagnar I thought the weather radar triggers the PWS Pridicted windshear and TAWS triggers the reactive windshear. Please let me ask this way. Does the ATR 72-600, which is a state of the art turboprop still not have a windshear warning? I mean the windshear warning that you hear for example in a EGPWS test like in 737. Thanks for your answer.
From Airbus 320 FCOM: The Predictive Windshear Alert System (PWS) operates only below 2300 feet RA. It uses Doppler capability of the weather radar. The Reactive Windshear System Reactive windshear alerts pilots when windshear is detected by the FACs (Flight Augmentation Computers). They are responsible for controlling inputs to the rudder, rudder trim and yaw damper. The FAC is also responsible for generating low energy and windshear warnings. The FAC computes this from its knowledge of the flight envelope and speed. ATR aircraft don't have this.
I don't think the wind itself will cause a change in pitch, but if you suddenly get a massive tailwind then the plane's airspeed might suddenly be way below stall speed causing it to lose lift and possible nose over if this is how the specific aircraft type stalls.

The thumbnail is hypnotic, too.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the subject and the beloved ATR.
Happy and safe flying!
Cheers from Brazil.
Microbursts are scary. Glad to see that the crew knew what to do and everyone was safe.
Excellent video explaining this weather phenomenon.
Wow, thank you Capt. We were waiting for this video.

Did you work on VPB?
Excellent video - very educating!
Nice, very clear explanation, thank you ! From Brazil São Paulo
Awesome video. Thanks a bunch!
A very, very interesting video indeed! I hope I never encounter a microburst, 'cos my tiny Cessna 152 doesn't have any power at the best of times!
Thank you very much for this really enlightening explanation! :-)
Very good video, thanks and keep them coming.
Great video. Very clear. I really apreciate your own expierence. Santiago from Argentina
Useful mean for safe flight
God bless you captain

Set PWR MGT to MCT and join the procedure from there.
And if you suspect windshear after take-off, increase your acceleration altitude.

Very useful video for those in aviation enthiasist.
excellent informative video. thanks captain.
I'm this case this is considered a "Dry Microburst" since in this case there was no torrential down pour/ down draft.
Must have been a wild ride inside as it suddenly started to feel neg G
Why does the ATR does not have windshear warning?
Does thr TAWS in the ATR72-600 also not have windshear warning?

ATR aircraft don't have this.
Reportch???
Do you think ATR would still manage to climb after takeoff then engine failure happened plus windshear is encountered?
No. No transport aircraft in the world are certified to manage more than one emergency at the time. The possibility for this to happen is too low.
Can a microburst be so strong to cause a plane to nose dive?
I don't think the wind itself will cause a change in pitch, but if you suddenly get a massive tailwind then the plane's airspeed might suddenly be way below stall speed causing it to lose lift and possible nose over if this is how the specific aircraft type stalls.
Dear Magnar:
When I become rich and famous you will be my private pilot and I will compensate you with a good wage.
When I become rich and famous.
👍🤣🤣
I'm glad you say "when".
