    It's insane how this keeps happening. The moment the stall warning comes on, you pitch down, recover air speed, level out. You don't have time to request or wait for altitude change from ATC, you're dropping out of the sky already!

    • @gokceralp
      @gokceralp 2 года назад +20

      Maybe they should have performed a pan-pan call and begun to descend without ATC permission. It was an emergency. But the main fault belongs to airway company. How come a company doesn't inform their pilots about the manufacturer's bullet-in? Informing pilots won't cost anything, but not doing this costs lives!!! Airway company bankrupted but how about its executives? Were they judged? They led deaths by conscious negligence.

      then you could merely go over and get a partial to full refund of your ticket, and seek air travel from another source.

  • @adotintheshark4848
    @adotintheshark4848 3 года назад +67

    For those who don't know, a deep stall is when the aircraft has lost all forward momentum and is dropping tail first. It is very difficult to recover from as the only remedy is to somehow get the nose down, then hope you can get enough airspeed to bring the nose up again and get lift from the wings. Deep stalls are more common in t-tailed aircraft due to shadowing of the air flow from the wings to the tail under certain conditions. When airspeed drops enough, lack of airflow to the tail causes it to drop and you're in a deep stall.

      Stall Training has changed in the last 2 years. It is now excellent and pilots are given a variety of scenarios: altitude, attitude, speed from which to recover. Obviously, this is not the case at startups and small charter airlines. Hopefully, these changes will be implemented worldwide, specially in third world countries with fewer resources and limited pilot experience..

I really really hope they didn't feel it but I am pretty sure they would have if they paid attention to the feeling.

      grommy1234 unfortunately the company greed thing did not contribute to this tragedy. At all. A pilot who cannot recognize and recover from a stall is not airworthy. Period. Nothing else matters. It’s not something you “forget.” The pilot error here is unimaginable. Stall recovery is lesson #1 in flight school. Literally. A “captain” who pulls back on a stick and flies a stall to their doom has a special place in hell. So far above any of the airline’s mistakes. Pilot error plain and simple.

    The last time I traveled by plane, I was in a slightly smaller plane than usual, so the movements that the plane made felt more than if I were traveling in a larger one. In the part of the ascent, the aircraft descended a little to accommodate its position, I think, and it really felt horrible, it was like an adrenaline rush in the chest and feeling that you were completely falling, even though it barely descended a few meters, although it seemed to me that it was going down a lot more than it should have, as if those two minutes had been transformed into an hour. If that's how that felt, I don't want to imagine what those people must have felt; the sensation of descending and not stopping at any time, indeed, starting to go faster and faster.

    That reminds me of the Air France 447 accident in 2009:
    The pilots could have avoided the crash by pulling down the nose and gently push the thrust when the altitude was still high enough to do so. Unfortunately they did not realize the situation ... :(

    Man these videos really show how quick an emergency can turn into a disaster. It’s like dominoes in a line, when it comes to mistakes and bad luck.

    I’ve always been so scared of lanes so these videos are not helping but I’m addicted!

    I really like these for many reasons. The lives of all those brave souls lost are remembered every time one of these videos are watched, I pray for all the best to them and their families

    Very sad. Forget the radio, disconnect the AP, push that nose down and get those engines going. Great work TFC

    I'm not a pilot and I haven't flown my MSFS for years but I think even I would put the nose down to avoid stalling, even if I need to glide, and then sort things out from there.

    I’ve been on many flights because I’m former military. Every flight was uneasy, especially the long flights overseas. I’ve had a hard time controlling my fear, but this channel helps me come to terms with the possibility of the very possible inevitability of plane crashes.

      I never got that, considering that ladders, cars, bicycles and WALKING are more dangerous than a plane.
      I don't like them, either, but in general, they're a lot safer mechanically than any car. You read Unsafe at Any Speed about how the steering column made human shish-kabobs on impact? Well, not much has changed in automaker's liability...
      We have seat belt failures (unspooling, not staying locked or ripping entirely), air bags decapitation small, short people. Seat backs failing (Hello, FORD Escort!) and crushing kids in the back for a minor fender bender. Tire blow-outs (again, FORD), Takata air bags blowing up in people's faces due to corrosion (either stainless or use lead, pick one). The Pinto. AGAIN FORD, who repeated the damned Pinto on the Grand Marquis. Burning a number people to death in jammed doors. So, I guess jammed doors is a whold other category...
      The Pinto could have been fixed and been ond of the safest small cars of its day for about 12.00 each. Ford KNEW, and it was cheaper to get SUED, and let the mostly young people and women roast to death! Rather than move some bolts and put in a gas tank bladder...
      FORD had been known to change the TEST (not the car!?) when the Explorer failed to survive being dropped on its roof from 2 feet up (simulating a rollover). The huge thing couldn't do it without "killing" everyone (total roof collapse), so Ford reduced the height the car gets dropped. Yeah.
      Still failed. I don't think it can make it 6 inches w/o total roof collapse. Much less a real rollover.
      See Still Unsafe at Any Speed by Brian Chase. You probably drive a car all the time. But not an airplane, lol.

      Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band I see what you’re trying to say, and I get that. However, even though there’s more accidents involving vehicles other than planes they’re more survivable. I’m more likely to survive a car crash. Planes however...if your bird falls out of the sky you might as well kiss your ass goodbye.

    I'm now addicted to these videos. I've only flew twice in my lifetime, but I don't think I'll ever board a plane again after watching these kinds of videos.🤔🤔🤔
