      Suppose if even the primary gauges went blank, you have secondary standby gauges that you can then use to navigate. It's not like the pilots of the 787 don't know how to fly and resolve blank display issues. They'll have been trained to deal with such situations so I'm sorry but I'm not buying that statement at all

      @@frankiebhoyz2169 Yeah.. right... According to avherald who quoted a preliminary report the incident happened ~4pm NZ time. The plane apparently landed on 4:26pm NZ time. So there is a pretty good chance the CVR has recorded everything that happened in the cockpit at that time. Why the heck would a pilot try to cover their butt by telling a random passenger "uhm... all intruments went black"?! That makes absolutely no sense.

    The part about the Captain coming back and telling passengers he lost all his instruments really strains the far reaches of credulity.
    Aside the fact that a temporary loss of flight instruments would not make the aircraft respond in any way, the very LAST thing any airline captain would do if such a thing were to occur would be to get out of his seat and go back and tell all the passengers about it!!

      Indeed - but, with all due respect to everyone involved - pilots are the level worst at "explaining" things with supreme confidence that they don't understand. Always, in every case, it's "I'm a pilot..." and many times, with two pilots, whoever has accomplished more denigrates anyone with less career standing points that out, so prove superior authority. But that doesn't mean they actually understand how the airplane works in any detail, or accurately. Some do, most don't, and the more complicated the system the less they understand about it. Several of the youtube "aviation experts" are absolutely awful about it, the arrogance just radiates.

Not just one who talks about these things, but takes the time to SHOW us what he means. Plus, he isn't an egomaniac about it, is willing to _actually_ consider alternative explanations, and doesn't participate in sniping people he doesn't agree with. You, Cpt Kelsey, are a Noble Gentleman - Hats off to you, sir.

    I am a GA guy too. I’m a private pilot with about 1100 hours I am by no means qualified to even comment on any of the highly complex systems in any commercial aircraft. I can explain the physics behind how planes work all day long, because for the most part whether it’s a Cessna 172 or an A380 the physics is the same lift is always lift drag is always drag, etc. but that’s about as far as my understanding of big commercial jets goes… that being said if you asked me to guess what happened, moving a tray into the yoke accidentally by pressing a button on the seat would certainly not be one of the things I would come up with. I have no idea where this guy came up with that theory, but I am with Kelsey it makes absolutely no sense at all. So anyone reading this please don’t think that all private pilots are stupid just because of one guy.
    Edit I just asked my father-in-law who is a commercial airline pilot (a320) and he came up with about 15 scenarios of what caused this and guess what a tray smashing into the yolk from a button on the seat wasn’t one of them either

    Good video again Kelsey. I have a good friend who became a captain at a major airline. In the early 90s, as a FO at the controls of a 747-300 cruising at night, he was given clearance to climb to a higher FL. Half way through the climb he got the TCAS alert to Descend, Descend. He immediately pushed the nose over BUT was very conscious of not sticking many of the sleeping passengers on the ceiling. He maintained some slight positive Gs. He watched the opposing AC on the TCAS screen and saw the closure... 10000m, 5000m, 2000m, 1000m and then saw the shadow pass directly above with his estimate of just hundreds of feet clearance. He maintained composure until after landing several hours later when he phoned his wife and told her he had just saved 750 people. Trust the TCAS - not the controller!

Of course we don't know what happened on this flight, but Kelseys take that moving the seat and pushing the yoke is "nonsense" is actually the misinformation. It is a legitimate theory the investigators will look at because it has a precedent (check out the story of the Voyager Flight 333). The pilot in that flight was moving his seat forward, which pushed an item against the yoke, and they went into a nosedive. So this dismissive take by Kelsey is wrong.

    Hello Kelsey, I’ve been in aircraft Maintenance & Engineering just shy of 52 years and am now retired. I’ve lost count on how many hours experience I have on Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus aircraft, most of which were on 747, MD-11 and DC-10. Being honest, I have very little experience on the 787 model. However, I remembered reading this after the incident in question, “In a bulletin to airlines, Boeing said that if part of the switch is loose, a cover over the top can cause it to jam, "resulting in unintended seat movement.” The bulletin does not refer to the dive incident, which authorities are in the early stages of investigating.” The way I’m reading this is the switch could stick in the seat forward position and drive the seat to the full forward position. I don’t know if the pilot sitting in this seat was a large person or maybe had a food tray or computer in his lap, but I can imagine how the control column could be pushed forward. Supposedly, this is not the first time this has occurred, thus the reason for the bulletin. I’m also assuming that if the pilot quickly placed his thumb on his switch to try and reverse the seat direction, nothing happens, but again, I honestly don’t know. This would be easy to check physically or if I had a schematic. My thoughts only and thank you for your videos.

    I am just a random guy that isn't even a pilot. But from what I have heard the reason there is a seat adjustment lever at the back of the seat on the 787 is because it is necessary to move the seat back to get in based on how the seats and center console are located. If a pilot needs to move the seat not just adjust it, then it would make sense they would want to do it moderately quickly. Juan Browne (another experienced pilot) from the Blancoliro RUclips channel did a video on the incident and showed the style of seat in question. It doesn't move super fast, but it doesn't seem as unrealistic as it sounds on a 747. His videos show the available details of incidents at the time and he is clear when he is stating a opinion vs a fact.
    That being said, yes deleting comments that aren't scams or offensive isn't a good look.

    • @EXROBOWIDOW
      @EXROBOWIDOW 7 месяцев назад +4

      I just reviewed a bit of one of blancolirio's videos on the topic (maybe he did two videos?) dated March 15. He said that Boeing issued a notice about that button on the back of the seat. It was operating when people pressed on the cover that's supposed to protect the button from being pushed accidentally. The cover is supposed to be lifted, then the button pressed.
      So even if Kelsey is wrong in his opinion on this incident, his comment on that TikTok video could have been responded to, not just deleted.

I could definitely see a pilot plus a tray being pushed into the yoke with that needed pressure to disconnect autopilot since he's unable to stop the chair moving forward and it's such an odd thing I'm sure he didn't immediately think of using the power cut off switch for the seat.... I really think Kelsey should watch that video as it's different from his aircraft, it seems plausible to me. The pilot lying about the screens going off sounds sketchy tho, trying to cover his ass maybe. Agree he shouldn't have deleted his comment but instead opened discussion as to why he disagrees

I do like your style and channel and one thing I’ve noticed from Pilots is the humility that it “seems” like good pilots need especially in the face of a crisis or situation. Because airline safety is the result of decades of bad accidents or disasters that led to protocols now in use today. But in many over confident pilots seem to be a crucial mistake in disasters. *But* saying that the environment that is online and social media conversations/comment sections is like you’re explaining that it IS the environment sadly. And I’m glad you’re speaking in it. I’d rather a flight be safe and/or delayed or make it’s destination with a crew and pilot/captain that has personal awareness and responsibility to speak up in situations that mistakes and wrong decisions have played a role. It’s about transparency and airlines I get don’t want that because of liability issues but in the industry it’s super important the public has confidence in pilots/airlines/FAA/NTSB or anyone connected with the day to day operations.

    To be fair, this incident kinda reminds me of Voyager Flight 333. One of the pilots had left the cockpit. The other pilot was taking photos and when the Purser came in, the pilot put the camera between the arm rest of his chair and the control stick (it was an A330). When he brought his chair forward, he forgot about the camera and it pushed the camera into the stick, sending the aircraft into a dive. As his aircraft pitched down violently, the pilot still didn't notice the camera. The camera popped out partway through the incident, but even afterwards, he had no idea that his camera was to blame.

      Just a note for those who may not know/realize. A330 has a control stick like a joystick, B787 has yoke. So that wouldn't work. I wonder if the chair would generate enough force to push the yoke into a nose dive if for some reason a pilots bag was left between the chair and the yoke and the chair is moved forward.

      There was no way the camera popped out, it was jammed. The pilot realized it was the camera and pulled it out with some force.

Which was inconsistent with the pilot's story. Thankfully that guy was fired for lying.

    Blancolirio (a 777 FO) did a detailed breakdown of this. His commentary for this incident is based on a Boeing multi-operator report regarding loose switch covers on the 787. Anyway, Juan details how an apparently malfunctioning switch cover and loose switch on the back of the seat could have been involved as has been reported. The FA reportedly leaned against the back of the seat with their hand or forearm resting on the switch cover. This apparently caused accidental activation of the switch, moving the seat forward. Due to the limited clearance between the tray and the yoke, the seat drove the tray into the yoke with enough force to disco the AP and provide pitch down control input. The flight crew couldn't recover from the upset until the Captain was able to move the seat back and remove the tray.
    Note that Juan also shows a video demonstrating this accidental activation in a 787 on the ground. The cover and switch are the culprits here as, once the cover itself is depressed, the seat motors activate forward movement and - most importantly - CONTINUE to move the seat forward after the body part that made the initial contact is no longer making contact with the cover!
    All of this is unofficial, of course, until the final report from the investigation board of the nation having jurisdiction over the flight.
