Thank you so much Captain Joe for producing these videos, it helps with my studying a lot, I'm currently doing CAT A1 License programme, MRO, and hope to further my knowledge by learning and obtaining B1 or B2 license and become a pilot after that. I'm truly am happy that you share with us all your knowledge :D
Thanks, Captain Joe! Simple and thorough explanations, as always. Have the background music turned down a bit so it does not distract from your message.
Captain Joe I understand how the reverse thrust works on engines that have those flaps opening when reverse thrust is deployed. It's like ground spoilers but in another way. What I don't understand is how the reverse thrust works on engines that are just separated in half when we use the reverse thrust. Can you explain if possible ?
@@ΜανώληςΦιαγκουσάκης I was wondering the same thing. Check this video out to help give you a better understand of how it works ruclips.net/video/vXZctFouxZE/видео.html
Professors have explained this to me a 1000 times........never had i paid with such attention cozz its the captain itself explaining it to me........the one who actually applies it every time we land!!
Thanks Captain Joe, well explained, I work at LAX and always wondered how reverse thrust works and yes you will DEFINITELY know when reverse thrust is used vs engine idle. Great video👍👍👍
thats how that plane backed out with no push back!! i work at Tampa International and a few months back i noticed Delta plane back out of the gate with no push back. i was the only one that noticed it and i didnt understand what i just saw so i kinda just assumed it didnt push back by itself. i was walking and by the time i looked back at the plane it was away from the gate some how. THATS SO DAMN COOL! LOL! i need to get a video of one doing it i havent seen it happen again.
I'm a future aeronautic mechanic,(student) and even if I already know everything u said, i love your vids... (PS: Brakes on a plane is not exactly like your car, but i understood what you meant 😂✈️, it's more like a motorcycle clutch, plane brakes on the landing wheels has multiple discs, some friction discs and some normal smooth discs, some of them are rolling at the wheel speed and there's a gap between the other ones who are not in movement. When the pilot push the brake pedal the moving discs "hugs" the non-moving discs to fill that gap between them, and it create a lot of friction exactly like a brake caliper will do on your brake disc in a car and that friction convert the plane speed into heat energy... So at the end the brake discs are really hot, but the plane is at 0 km/h... Have a good day 👌
The odd thing: with planes no one ever says: my plane is better than yours, we don't choose whether we sit on an Airbus, a Boeing, a Bombardier, an Embraer, a Toepolev, or whatever. The techniques have to be standard all over the world.
Also a version was used in an episode of Mr Robot, I think. Live at Admiralspalast Berlin has a good version. My first TD was Force Majeure/Cloudburst Flight. Sigh...
Captain Joe I am only a Group B PPL Twin Qualified Pilot but I have observed on regular occasions Reverse Thrust being applied BEFORE Touchdown ! Especially on EasyJet !
I guy I went to college with flies 767's for Delta to Asia... but he flew DC-9's for Northwest for a few years and they did power-backs. I guess the protocol at the time was that the captain and first officer would both say "feet flat on the floor" before performing a power-back as it was apparently rather easy to do an accidental "wheelie" and put the tailcone on the ground if brakes were accidentally applied while doing a power-back. The DC-9's are all gone but I haven't seen a single MD-80 do a power-back in many years. I've been told that fuel is too expensive.
My wife's plane was diverted to Denver upon the loss of hydraulic control of flaps and reverse thrust. Denver has a three mile long runway and it was hoped that would provide enough distance to drop speed with only the landing gear brakes. It worked.
I flew on an MD-80 back in 2018 and they still use the same thing to back up with thrust reversers. It was the same plane that had its rudder break off and fall on the runway during takeoff too, lol! We were bouncing up and down trying to take off when it happened too, lol!
Guys a few questions further up there is the same question answered by Joe. And youre right he is a first Officer but they decided its better to remember whith Captain and not First Officer
imho the MD-80 it's true that the pilot doesn't see his back but there is still the traffic agent guiding him so finally it might not necessary be that dangerous. Could you make a video to explain Rudder and Horizontal stabiliser please? Thanks for your great videos
One thing we definitely know is, that using reverse thrust ist extremely inefficient for rolling out of a parkingspot. The Stuttgarter Airport for example ban the use of reverse thrust for rolling back.
Also you can use a 3D/IMAX RED camera that would be ideal for the quality. And dont forget to hire a stunt for your more dangerous outtakes. Best of luck.
Can you explain braking? Why is it sometimes pilots brake harder than others? Either right away or last minute like they're trying to avoid missing an exit.
I like that reverse thrust out of the gate at the end... I don't see why that would be an issue with some rear view cameras, in-dash monitor and some reverse flashing lights. Then you can get rid of those goofy tow trucks.
It would be interesting as an idea, but the risks of jet blast increase a lot (since you are applying thrust instead of idling the engines), and fuel consumption also increases, it's just cheap, safe, simple and functional to use the tow. In other hand your question/comment does bring attention to alternative methods of taxing, since it actually represents a sufficient amount of fuel waste that it's not to be overlooked (jets are very inefficient at idling, I've heard of about 60% fuel usage of max power when idling, could be wrong but still not your average car), I've once thought of a powered landing gear that can tow the plane by itself, and then I've found out it's been studied/in the works.
I believe some smaller airports e.g. Hobart don't have such tow trucks though; instead aircraft use asymmetrical thrust to turn around and exit their gates on departure (for that to work it'll be difficult to have aerobridges though)
As usual - this is one more superior video, detailed explanation using easy to understand language and goog mood. Thank You and have a nice day, Captain Joe!
Some military aircraft use powerback to reverse out of parking. It reduces the need for ground support equipment at an airfield. I've seen one powering back and it swallowed its own intake vortex, causing the engine to surge. It blew up right in front of my hangar. That was uhhh, IMPRESSIVE! Scared the hell out of everyone that day haha.
Bowie Fernandes Most aircraft will only allow the reverse thrust to be activated when the landing gear touches the ground. However there have been incidents where the reverse thrust accidentally got activated during flight which resulted in two plane crashes.
If both reversed simultaneously the nose would drop and the aircraft would descend very rapidly. Recoverable by throttling down the engines and disabling the reversers. (As Ruben said, this is impossible in most aircraft due to touchdown sensors built into the landing gear) Now, if one were to slam open due to a mechanical failure things get deadly very fast. Say, shortly after takeoff, the right reverser opens without warning. The nose would swing to the right very violently and the rudder would probably not have enough authority to stop it. The crew would be confused and disoriented. A huge sideslip would develop and the aircraft would basically be flying sideways. The right wing would stall and drop, and at this point recovery would be impossible. But it's that pesky "mechanical failure" part that makes that scenario essentially impossible. The reversers have many sets of extremely tough locks that keep them closed. All of them would have to fail simultaneously.
Yeah its called a powered pushback Some airlines did this back in the 70s. but no one does it anymore beucuase it burns extra fuel. Fuel consumption is managed heavily now by airlines.
Yes, but only on body-mounted engines like the MD80. Plane manufacturers and regulators have banned powered pushbacks since the engines may suck up dirt from the ground and damage the fans. But yes, true: Airliners did powered pushbacks many years ago.
Due to the intake being not far from the thrust reverser output, wouldn't there be, to some degree, a loss of the effective thrust from the thrust reversers due to a vortex ring state of sorts?
www.aem.umn.edu/~kmahesh/globalassets/publpdf/journal/hyunchul_jfm_crash.pdf Does this help. I don't know much about engineering, but googling vortex rings in reverse thrust, I found this article, perhaps it has some info that helps, perhaps it doesn't.
Along those lines if the reversers are only redirecting bypass air when you spool up to full reverse aren't you fighting yourself because the core of the turbine is making forward thrust still? Probably doesn't matter too much because most commercial engines are high bypass, but I wonder if there are mechanisms to fight that where the engine doesn't have a full clamshell to redirect all thrust (like in the MD80 video).
Jon fritsch At this point vortex rings are not produced due to the proximity with the ground, the distance between the wings and the ground is inferior to a wingspan
Capt Joe is good. He explains in plain English, in bite-sized portions, which is easily understandable. Could you pls explain reverse thrust in a turbo-prop plane? Thank you.
back in the early 80`s when I was working at air Canada cargo in yvr,i remember pilots using reverse thrust on the dc8 freighters to assist on the pushback on rare mornings with conditions that were too icy for the pushout tractor to manage.
Tina Einstein : Damn that's funny! At first I thought you were talking about a plane reversing. Then I thought about 3 seconds longer and realized what you meant! 😉
His English is so good it's a shame to point out mistakes. This (annoying) way of pronouncing 'th' is quite common in London and the south west of England. It can cause confusion sometimes. Frust is obviously thrust because there's no such thing as frust. However, free/three - first/thirst - frill/thrill etc .. the list goes.
Great video captain, I can tell you it is now not used due to fuel consumption however it was used on the mad dogs back then when fuel prices were low.
Captain Joe hi capitain joe my name is Gonzalo Panduro in your next video can you pleace talk abou if it makes any diference if you fly the evening or in the mornings because i preferd to fly in mornings time thak you.
Yesterday I landed at LCY and i was sitting on top of the wing. I suddenly saw the turbine side retract and the result was immidiate, like being pulled from behind. The Bombarider came to a hault faster than i ever recall. Thrilling stuff!
Hey Joe I have been on a few DC-9s with EASTERN and the pilot used reversethrust backing away from the gate. The engines would power up a little ,and the aircraft would roll forward slightly and then would using the reverse thrust , then back away from the gate. The pilot would watch the ground crew to let him know when to make his turn to start his taxi to the runway. We did this at JFK and in ATLANTA. No need for a pilot tug.
No they are not trained for that. In case one pilot get´s incapacitated I would ask for a flight attendant to assit me with the checklists, or check the briefing sheet if another colleague (pilot)is on board! Greetings Joe
Love the information you give us Captain Joe,you seem like a really cool guy.Yes we used to power Back DC9 in MSP YEARS ago,they still might not too sure.
To Jo the Captin. why are thrust reverses used when just before touch down? I see it all the time a good 200-300m before the runway? it's it to reduce speeds on aproch? i know in wet weather you want a hard landing to avoid aquaplaneing. if you can answer my question it would be greatly appreciated.
That md80 trick is actually pretty cool. Im sure their pilots would ask the tower if their 6 was clear before they did that. But, in my opinion, the more self sufficient an aircraft is, the better. :)
+Captain Joe HEY CAP!!! just wanted to say that was an awesome video. I really want to get my pilots license SO BAD!!!!!! Actually next Month I plan on going for my glider license, then when I can save up for power I will go for my power endorsement. I figured I'd go this route since it's cheaper to learn the basics of aerodynamics and basic flight controls in a glider vs a power plane. this way by the time I get enough for the power endorsement I'll at least have some experience and might earn my license with the minimum required flight hours!!!!
On a Boeing, the little levers that engage the thrust reversers, you can actually vary the reverse thrust depending on how much h the e little levers are pulled back.
Captain Joe. You did not mention the trailing edge flaps on the wings, this helps to slow down the plane more that the spoilers do (but then you are only a pilot and not an engineer).
Anyone can answer this one? Noticed while tracking a family member's transatlantic flight on Flightaware from Poland to USA that at 38,000 ft heading 272 West the flight slowed down from 545mph to 47mph and headed 92 East for about 18 seconds. About 32 seconds later it was back to close on track at 273 degrees West at 544 mph.
I noticed the engine you show in the first clip had thrust doors (don't know what they are called) which look unusual to me. They kind of "flap" or fold out. I don't know if they are used often on today's planes, but the ones I usually see don't seem like doors at all. It looks like the engine casing just moves forward, and exposes the engine innards. My question is - how does the reverse thrust work in that case? It doesn't seem to "reflect" air off of anything.
Maybe the pilots could see behind with cameras. RE: the reverse thrust mode using the exhaust .... must utilise pretty heavy duty heat shields to prevent destruction of components in the path.
I have experienced Reverse Thrust usage inflight coming into the Grand Junction Airport on a direct flight from Chicago ORD. The pilot came on and warned us he was going to do it as we dropped over the edge of the mesa on final. My guess is it was just idle reverse thrust, but we did see the shovels rotate out behind the engines. This was back in the late seventies, I have no idea of the aircraft type. Probably my third flight ever, that's why I remember it so well.
Sir u r great u r teaching such a great techniques. I am from India and i am big fan of Aeroplanes even i have interest in Jet engines. I am commerce Graduate and i like ur videos and the way u explaining. Thank you
Started working at an airport and see planes landing all the time, 757 767 777 Airbus 300/310 MD10 and MD11 and all of them I've seen have used reverse thrust and the sounds it makes is heaven, it's like taking off from a standstill but slowing down and it's so cool
Clam shell or Buckets the only reverse thrust that ever worked, the rest just making lots of noise. My B1-B had no reverse or chutes and we had no problems.. Sometimes they are just more things to break, the tri-jet falcons only use 1 reverse thrust you don't need them, just help.
Nice explanation,Great job on the Channel! This about the engines increases thrust was a problem at the accident of TAM A320 - Flight 3054 at the Congonhas Airport, São Paulo, Brazil. I recommend all check what happened on this flight!
Ok..I might re-explained to my daughter..i said the plane doesn't have reverse gear (my mistake)..thats why the plane needs the tug to do the pushback..starting from your video Cap. i just realized that plane have reverse thrust to do the reverse operation but prohibited during taxiing..good explanation..😃
If my memory serves me right, NASA used a Gulfstream business jet with a space shuttle cockpit simulation on it and to train approaches they used to engage a small amount reverse thrust in mid flight to give the gulfstream the glide characteristics of the shuttle. I always thought that revesrse thrust on an airliner used to pull up the reverser gate lock tabs on the throttles and then you'd push forwards on the throttles rather than pull the gate lock switches and pull back beyond idle.
I've seen videos of C5's and turboprops taxiing backwards. Are all jets capable of moving backwards on the ground with reverse thrust? Do any commercial jets have backup cameras? Are there any rules on this?
That Captain Joe logo has to be the coolest and most clever thing that I have seen today.
World Known ikr
yeah, it's cool and all though that he's only first officer.

Those reverse thrust doors have to be so incredibly strong.. Diverting a force which normally launches an 100.000KG+ airplane to ~800km/h. Good topic!
True, yes the must cope with a lot of stress!

One thing we definitely know is, that using reverse thrust ist extremely inefficient for rolling out of a parkingspot.

MrMonado likely the main reason not to use reverse thrust for pushback is the danger to the structure, personnel, and unsecured equipment at the gate.
good video, just use an external lapel microphone when recording your voice to prevent echo and it will be even better !
Thank you very much for your advice, I will remember that for my next recordings. Really appreciate it :)
+Captain Joe the other thing that can help is to turn down the recording mic, but turn your sound levels up in post production. try it and see.
If youre not moving around in your video you can alternatively use a boom mic over your head and you still wont get that echo.

His English is so good it's a shame to point out mistakes. This (annoying) way of pronouncing 'th' is quite common in London and the south west of England. It can cause confusion sometimes. Frust is obviously thrust because there's no such thing as frust. However, free/three - first/thirst - frill/thrill etc .. the list goes.
Micah Claussen 😂😂😂
BazaB. True. His English is really good. And I think he is German not English. Nevertheless, it's good by any standard.
Hey Captain Joe thank u for the german subtitles it helps me a lot to understand the complicate words! Good video.
Fantastic and useful video. Absolute clarity on REVERSE THRUST

Hey Cap you're videos are awesome and very helpful for me as a student. Can you please upload a video of the working principal of flaps and slats?
Hey Chetan! Yes sure I´ll see what I can do! Greetings Joe
Captain Joe I love planes I am only I 8 and I want to be a pilot thx cap joe I love Ryanair and the A380 thx
Watching the flaps and slats in action are the best ever!
Problem with this back ground music not a good idea but other then that not bad.
Great video captain, I can tell you it is now not used due to fuel consumption however it was used on the mad dogs back then when fuel prices were low.
We learn so much valuable information from your videos...keep going
Oh, ohne Untertitel. Na ja, ich persönlich kann dein Englisch gut verstehen, also ist das nicht so schlimm. Schönes Video!
+DUSspotting Die Untertitel sind im nächsten Video wieder dabei :)
Okay, gut zu wissen, auch wenn ich sie nicht vermisst habe :)
Captain Joe hi capitain joe my name is Gonzalo Panduro in your next video can you pleace talk abou if it makes any diference if you fly the evening or in the mornings because i preferd to fly in mornings time thak you.
Have you ever Done an Emergency Landing?
Define "emergency."
Define "landing".
Guys, these are words you should know
Define "Define"
Define “Emergency”
Waow for a second there I thought he was Frank Lampard
I know!
Biggest compliment ever :) Thanks Kevin
Yesterday I landed at LCY and i was sitting on top of the wing. I suddenly saw the turbine side retract and the result was immidiate, like being pulled from behind. The Bombarider came to a hault faster than i ever recall. Thrilling stuff!
Hey Joe I have been on a few DC-9s with EASTERN and the pilot used reversethrust backing away from the gate. The engines would power up a little ,and the aircraft would roll forward slightly and then would using the reverse thrust , then back away from the gate. The pilot would watch the ground crew to let him know when to make his turn to start his taxi to the runway. We did this at JFK and in ATLANTA. No need for a pilot tug.
Capt: post more videos or did you get tired? 😂😂😂😂
Desert_Breeze what is FO, lol
Desert_Breeze his video page says Captain 😳 so I am calling what it says.
Desert_Breeze cool, thanks Breeze
Die Wurst fo become captains so cut this bullsit
QUESTION: If both pilots die in flight, can a flight attendant land the plane??? Are they trained to do that?
No they are not trained for that. In case one pilot get´s incapacitated I would ask for a flight attendant to assit me with the checklists, or check the briefing sheet if another colleague (pilot)is on board! Greetings Joe
Captain Joe Thanks! And what do you suppose would happen if both pilots are killed and no one on board is a pilot? Cool videos btw.
they should ask passengers if they are good at playing flight sims lol
Me playing KSP: "Man, i wonder how reverse thrust would even work"
RUclips a week later:
Love the information you give us Captain Joe,you seem like a really cool guy.Yes we used to power Back DC9 in MSP YEARS ago,they still might not too sure.
To Jo the Captin. why are thrust reverses used when just before touch down? I see it all the time a good 200-300m before the runway? it's it to reduce speeds on aproch? i know in wet weather you want a hard landing to avoid aquaplaneing. if you can answer my question it would be greatly appreciated.
Dear captain.
Thanks for all video.
I' like travel all the world that's why I want to be a pilot. But the question I'm 50 years old I can pilot.
love thai Most airlines only hire 30 or younger
The Time I’m watching this is 7:37 am
why is there a blackbar at the bottom???
Shawn Nicholas cuz hes wearing gym shorts ..
Jk its for the subtitles
All the best JOE. Please can you a video when explain the correct use of reverse, spoilers and breaks. Thank you
That md80 trick is actually pretty cool.
Im sure their pilots would ask the tower if their 6 was clear before they did that.
But, in my opinion, the more self sufficient an aircraft is, the better. :)
reverse thrust has been out of protocol since the 1980's sir you can ALT F4
"Reverse thrust" - when you pull *out* of the stewardess.......
Reverse thrust is when he pulls out. :/
That was a brilliant explanation. THANKS. (frequent flyer and massive aviation fan)
yes cap some airlines use power back at small regional airports or when the tug is MIA. But its not practiced as much because of fuel usage.
A captain has 4 stripes
He has 4 black ones, does that count?
Great answer :) Thanks :)
I knew you'd like it!
+Captain Joe HEY CAP!!! just wanted to say that was an awesome video. I really want to get my pilots license SO BAD!!!!!! Actually next Month I plan on going for my glider license, then when I can save up for power I will go for my power endorsement. I figured I'd go this route since it's cheaper to learn the basics of aerodynamics and basic flight controls in a glider vs a power plane. this way by the time I get enough for the power endorsement I'll at least have some experience and might earn my license with the minimum required flight hours!!!!
"wewerse frusft"
Weverst frusft
Could you just shut that annoying music while you speak? I like everything else
On a Boeing, the little levers that engage the thrust reversers, you can actually vary the reverse thrust depending on how much h the e little levers are pulled back.
Very good explanation Captain Joe. Good video.
Frust
Captain Joe.
You did not mention the trailing edge flaps on the wings, this helps to slow down the plane more that the spoilers do (but then you are only a pilot and not an engineer).
Anyone can answer this one? Noticed while tracking a family member's transatlantic flight on Flightaware from Poland to USA that at 38,000 ft heading 272 West the flight slowed down from 545mph to 47mph and headed 92 East for about 18 seconds. About 32 seconds later it was back to close on track at 273 degrees West at 544 mph.
I noticed the engine you show in the first clip had thrust doors (don't know what they are called) which look unusual to me. They kind of "flap" or fold out. I don't know if they are used often on today's planes, but the ones I usually see don't seem like doors at all. It looks like the engine casing just moves forward, and exposes the engine innards.
My question is - how does the reverse thrust work in that case? It doesn't seem to "reflect" air off of anything.
궁금햇는데 내용 잘들었습니다. 흡입공기가 배기에 빠져나가기전 역풍으로 속도를 줄인다는 개념은 알고있엇지만 저렇게 눈으로 영상을 직접보기는 처음인듯요
Maybe the pilots could see behind with cameras. RE: the reverse thrust mode using the exhaust .... must utilise pretty heavy duty heat shields to prevent destruction of components in the path.
I have experienced Reverse Thrust usage inflight coming into the Grand Junction Airport on a direct flight from Chicago ORD. The pilot came on and warned us he was going to do it as we dropped over the edge of the mesa on final. My guess is it was just idle reverse thrust, but we did see the shovels rotate out behind the engines. This was back in the late seventies, I have no idea of the aircraft type. Probably my third flight ever, that's why I remember it so well.
Sir u r great u r teaching such a great techniques. I am from India and i am big fan of Aeroplanes even i have interest in Jet engines. I am commerce Graduate and i like ur videos and the way u explaining. Thank you
Started working at an airport and see planes landing all the time, 757 767 777 Airbus 300/310 MD10 and MD11 and all of them I've seen have used reverse thrust and the sounds it makes is heaven, it's like taking off from a standstill but slowing down and it's so cool
captain joe...how do pilots guide the flight during taxi???ive seen that don't use anything while taxing but how they give direction while taxing???
Very Nicely explained !
Clam shell or Buckets the only reverse thrust that ever worked, the rest just making lots of noise. My B1-B had no reverse or chutes and we had no problems.. Sometimes they are just more things to break, the tri-jet falcons only use 1 reverse thrust you don't need them, just help.
Nice explanation,Great job on the Channel! This about the engines increases thrust was a problem at the accident of TAM A320 - Flight 3054 at the Congonhas Airport, São Paulo, Brazil. I recommend all check what happened on this flight!
Very useful/informative Video Captain Joe Sir 👍
Ok..I might re-explained to my daughter..i said the plane doesn't have reverse gear (my mistake)..thats why the plane needs the tug to do the pushback..starting from your video Cap. i just realized that plane have reverse thrust to do the reverse operation but prohibited during taxiing..good explanation..😃
If my memory serves me right, NASA used a Gulfstream business jet with a space shuttle cockpit simulation on it and to train approaches they used to engage a small amount reverse thrust in mid flight to give the gulfstream the glide characteristics of the shuttle.
I always thought that revesrse thrust on an airliner used to pull up the reverser gate lock tabs on the throttles and then you'd push forwards on the throttles rather than pull the gate lock switches and pull back beyond idle.
I've seen videos of C5's and turboprops taxiing backwards. Are all jets capable of moving backwards on the ground with reverse thrust? Do any commercial jets have backup cameras? Are there any rules on this?
thanks captain Joe. thank u. for guidance. it was really complex mechanisms for the control system of the aircraft
hey captain whats that metal stirp attached to engine haul , what is called . at 1:14 .
1:46-1:53 Someone said they put Engine 1 into Maximum Reverse Thrust and the Engine 2 is remain at Full Forward Thrust
