      If AI which is non-human was involved, wouldn't all these issues have popped up as an issue for the pilots? You know these days SpaceX has full control with AI computers and the pilots can take over if something is wrong and take over.. I get that computers don't know everything if everything inputed does make sense like sensors but that should these days be easer, where's the Gyroscope? Wouldn't that make everything better?

    Flew this aircraft for 8 years. It’s has VERY Powerful CF5 engines and I learned very quickly that TOGA power combined with a very light aircraft is actually a very dangerous situation. The pitch up is very strong. A low level off after departure combined with a TOGA thrust demanded power reduction right after T/O otherwise you’re going to bust your altitude or over speed.Even in the sim, the stick forces were high necessitating nose down trim. Great video. Thank you

    What I really love about Mentour Pilot -- besides the incredibly in-depth research, the animation, the structure, and all the elaboration about aviation and plane mechanics -- is the degree of respect and tact he approaches everyone involved in his videos with. He never goes, "And then this guy made a dumb move because he's stupid." He always extends the utmost empathy and understanding to everyone in his videos. Love this guy. Keep up the good work.

    • @mapleext

      Yes, because he is first and foremost teaching in these videos. It serves no one to assign blame or to pronounce judgements. He always says, “But that didn’t happen.” After thirty years of teaching I can’t tell you how detrimental it is to inject negative emotions and judgements into a learning situation. It’s a real distraction to the learning process.

      @@jgdooley2003 yes, this! it always frustrates me seeing ppl calling for a pilot's head on a pike, their immediate resignation, even JAIL TIME whenever a mistake is made that could have been dangerous/disastrous... but wasn't. people will lie about and obscure their faults/mistakes if they believe that their career and life as they know it is on the line, which is exactly why pilots (typically, there's always exceptions) DON'T get tarred and feathered even if they made a mistake that had the potential to be REALLY bad. if you know you can be frank with your superiors/employers about an error you made bc your job is still secure, then you're probably not going to think twice about reporting it. if anything, you know that it's important for the safety of ALL to do so, everyone benefits from a culture of empathy and understanding; pilots can get better training and learn from others, and passengers are safer for it.
      i'm no pilot myself, but i remember how i reacted to anything going wrong, be it a mistake on my part, or even things that definitely weren't my fault but i thought i might get into trouble for anyway: i hid the problem. i lied. struggling with my schoolwork? guess i'll just have to wait until my report card snitches on me. an infected wound? guess i'll just try to take care of it myself and not tell anyone (yes this happened to me, tho i eventually had to fess up, and was surprised when i wasn't immediately grounded or scolded lmao). we're afraid of serious consequences AND the harsh judgement of peers, so it's only logical that we might try to avoid both, even if it's ultimately to our detriment. empathy is so important and i hope one day the people calling for retribution will understand that.

      It makes total sense to me. The punk attitude of talking to anyone and about anyone in a disrespectful way, without concern about the implications for people's image, perception of professionalism and feelings, is not welcome where people have appreciation for a productive work or community environment. In fact, expressing ourselves respectfully no matter if we are criticizing or approving someone's actions, was the way we were all raised, and the norm in public communication until social media normalized insulting anyone just because they can't reach us physically. I would immediately unsubscribe from the channel if mockery or disrespect were the chosen way to approach the analysis of incidents, also because that would mean that the creator is trying to cover not being knowledgeable enough with a bad attitude.

The quality of the videos are exemplary, the content is concise and always made very interesting and I don’t even mind viewing your sponsor ads included in the content. Even though I am not a pilot I did get my PPL when I was young but your descriptive detail in each video makes it easy for anyone to understand your explanations. The graphics used are clean accurate and visually pleasing giving the viewer the impression that they are actually in the cockpit. It also helps that you are a great story teller. Congratulations on this great channel and looking forward to many more hours of enjoyable viewing.

    I was in the back of a Cessna when my buddy and I were in flight school. He wasn't trimming properly, so the instructor tossed in the control lock and tossed the trim full nose down. We were at about 3k feet and there was a lot of ocean on the other side of the glass. My buddy still didn't figure it out and I was literally floating in the back of the plane. The instructor pulled the plug at about 500ft. I'll never forget that lesson.

      That was incredibly stupid of the instructor. On my flight with the MOT (Canada) instructor to get my license, the flaps came out full in 'cruise' and the plane ballooned in a way I had never felt, fortunately I found what had occurred in a few seconds - the spare plug on his headset cable had pushed the flap button down. I always wondered if he had done that on purpose.

    I'm amazed that the tower controller didn't realize that "Pan Pan" call wasn't an emergency call purely based on the tone and the repetition.

      @@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 That too, though there is a language issue in play here...though I feel like it would just make the air traffic controller *more* concerned. The "Pan" in that transmission sounds very much like the French "pain" which translates to "bread," and this is an air traffic controller in Quebec and the recordings in the video are *entirely* in French, so to the ATC person who didn't know what the Pan Pan call is could have heard that as "Bread bread bread bread bread bread Air Transat uhh Air Transat 211, Air Transat 211, we have a small problem. We request altitude ahh..above 5000. We request to 10 000 feet, OK?"
      Which sounds mostly fine but the guy's still stammering and why the heck did he say "bread" 6 times just then. Like I said, seems like something that would make you more concerned, or at least, y'know, somewhat curious.

    Those pilots were both about 10 miles behind the airplane. While the trim issue was a significant factor, they were so far behind the airplane that it was clear they had joined the ranks of the passengers even before they tried to level off and they got themselves into coffin corner where they couldn't get out. They were very lucky.

    As a pilot and a former simulator engineer I can tell you that inaccurate simulator performance should come as no surprise. You point out the inaccurate control force reproduction. This, undoubtedly was a contributing factor to this incident. However another, very significant, contributing factor is the inaccurate reproduction of unreliable airspeed malfunctions most simulators exhibit. Most simulators will simply display an erroneous airspeed, without reproducing the real symptoms of a blocked, or distorted pitot tube or static port. In this incident, the pilots had a false understanding of the nature of the malfunction (gained from the simulator) which led to a false understanding of their instrument indications. They thus reacted according to their negative training leading to the incident.

      Seriously? Aren't the simulators themselves roughly million-dollar-class pieces of equipment? How in the world does nobody bother to program in realistic consequences and _causes_ of a failure state?
      Do the airlines build/commission and set up their simulators themselves? If so, maybe it's time to have the _manufacturer_ do that, or at least certify that it's been done correctly, and that the simulator is _actually_ representing the correct aircraft and engine setup, etc?
      Assuming the software is parameterized, wouldn't changing engine configuration just be a matter of changing some settings, or uploading a new engine config via an API? Or is it totally bespoke, and so (worryingly) non-trivial to make changes like that?

    • @barefootalien
      @barefootalien 6 месяцев назад +20

      @@peterferrydriver I mean, _I_ would sure think so. But then, I've never been trained to rely on auto-throttle even when not using auto-pilot. To me, as a GA pilot, if I'm hand-flying the plane, I'm hand-flying _the entire plane,_ throttle, rudder, trim, the whole shebang. The idea of "hand-flying, except for yaw damper, auto turn coordinator, auto-throttle, and a video-game-like flight director to chase, and oh, if I want full engine thrust, pushing a button instead of shoving the gigantic thrust levers forward myself" is just ludicrous to me.
      Isn't the entire idea of training to make sure that when the ish hits the fan, the instincts you fall back on are the actual fundamentals? I don't want my pilot's first instinct to be, "Am I chasing the flight director good enough and has the pilot monitoring told me what to do recently?" I want their instinct to be "Something's wrong, so level off, scan my instruments, adjust my throttle, trim out the aircraft, and then we can figure it out from there."
      There's something eerily wrong with how we're training commercial pilots, IMO. The automation should be a nice thing to have, but something you engage when everything is calm and normal. Instead, it feels like we're teaching people to rely on the automation almost completely, to the point that when task saturation (a.k.a. panic in the vernacular) sets in, the instinct isn't to stabilize the plane, it's to tunnel-vision on the automation.

    • @peterferrydriver
      @peterferrydriver 6 месяцев назад +11

      ​@barefootalien Agree 100%. The old saw "aviate, navigate, communicate" is the bottom line. Aviate includes being able to fly the plane without relying on the autopilot. The main reason that the commercial airlines rely on nearly complete automation is to reduce costs. Forgetting gear up, throttle reduced to cruise, flap settings sounds like a lack of aviation by an experienced pilot/ instructor. The passengers have the right to expect complete confidence in the crew's performance.

With rare exceptions they seem to "go to pieces" more and more often when faced with an unusual circumstance. Personally i hate the fly by wire aircraft so much that i refuse to fly anymore, and several senior pilot friends all say that theres hardly any "real flying" like the old days and thats why a lot of pilots dont cope when things get unpredictable.

    Regarding inattentional deafness, there is a reasonably well-documented case of that for a racing driver and his mechanic/co-driver (who rode in the passenger seat at that time), I believe it was in the Mille Miglia race across Italy. In that situation, the driver lost the ability to hear his co-driver telling him directions (literally the driving directions, of which road to take at intersections and preparations for unseen corners), and so the co-driver started using hand signals.
    They got that to work, and did much of the race like that. And I believe the team won the race, by a considerable margin.
    This is particularly interesting because the deafness wasn't a disaster. Instead, they utilized it and adapted their coordination process to include it.
    I can't find details on the specific year of the race or the driver involved; but I believe it was discussed in an episode of Top Gear years ago.

    I really appreciate the fact that your content is focused on being educational rather than simply being a disaster channel. It's easy to talk about incidents where there was a total catastrophe leading to loss of life, but this shows that not every scary situation on a plane becomes an irreversible scenario. These situations also outline the kind of measures that should be taken to prevent continued rapid decline of the situation.
    I don't think I'll ever become a pilot, but, if I do, I'm sure my mind would immediately go to your channel in any stressful situation. Not necessarily for the advice that you've specifically laid out, but just hearing, "and this stress likely overloaded the senses..." to remind me to stop panicking and return to a sense of control. I'm really glad you say this so often, because I think this is the most important piece of advice.

    I have experienced this kind of being overwhelmed by information overflow while handling an engineering casualty aboard a Navy destroyer. I found that, if you can recognize it is happening, it helps to stop, take a deep breath, and revert to first principles. The deep breath is important. I have been told by a doctor that the deep breath helps to reset your brain chemistry. At that point, you can think clearly enough to start evaluating the situation. It helps if you have a mental checklist to quickly check critical controls such as (in this case), gear, throttle, slats and flaps, engine speed and thrust, trim. Make sure all your settings are correct and then start looking for out of range parameters. To start forming a theory of what is wrong. Unfortunately, this takes time, which these pilots didn’t have.

      I’m a doctor and can confirm. Your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are both always active to some degree. Taking deep breaths turns the volume up on your parasympathetic and down on your sympathetic nervous systems, which helps turn down the flight or fight. It also gets more oxygen to your brain.
      There’s a book a lot of people in medicine reference called The House of God. I personally don’t like it because it’s insanely sexist (it’s supposed to be satire, but it’s a little too much for me), but it has a list of rules that are hilarious. Some of them are very helpful, including rule 3: at a cardiac arrest, the first procedure is to take your own pulse. It reminds us to take some deep breaths, calm down, and then address the situation.

    I find it ironic that these big jets had no trim indicator in front view. Due to screen constrains, the old pc fs would show the trim position (and other flight surfaces) right there in front (no moving head) and i seem to remember there was a shortcut key to quickly put it back to 0. I got in the habit to check it visually and reset if i was in some "unstable" situation. To think these guys would fly the thing with the trim all the way negative without noticing or even fearing of moving it back... What a close call.

    Having gone through NavCan training in the mid-90's, I can confirm that the term PAN PAN and it's meaning was taught. If the tower controller failed to understand it then perhaps that's a function of being in the job for a long time and never hearing the call. Maybe it's an incredibly rare call at an airport. Urgent situations that are possible emergencies during take-off or landing are probably just handled as emergencies. If you are close to the ground and don't have the luxury of time to consider whether it's really a mayday or not, just call mayday out of an abundance of caution.

    The mighty A310! Only the A310 can achieve such a rate of climb with gear and flaps down. In my airline we used to operate 4 A310s one of them was a -204 version, only 5 produced and if I’m not mistaken the most powerful airliner thrust to weight ever produced. The 204 was a 300 but because the dedicated engines were not ready yet from GE they used de rated DC-10 engines that produced 66000 lbs of thrust each after de ration and they were named -204 and not -300s. I distinctly remember jumpseating back home after sim sessions in London ( I was A320 fleet ) and taking off from Heathrow 09R on a Dover departure and being level at FL390 near maximum weight before Dover and ALT* with a roc of around 7000ft/m. As you correctly mentioned in your video there were a few incidents regarding the power of the A300/A310 family. I also remember the procedure they had from Airbus that you had, or may had, ( I can’t remember ) to use down control inputs to overcome the massive thrust n the event of a go-around.

In such a situation it's no use to try to climb directly after take-off, because it would just burn extra fuel with next to no effect. Once they have gotten a certain amount of miles away from the airport, then they have burned fuel enough to reduce the total weight, so that it might be worthwhile to start climbing.

    • @DenDodde
      @DenDodde 6 месяцев назад +13

      It's because the elevators are actually on the horizontal stabilizer (the big thing on the tail plane that moves when you trim). So when they move, the elevators that are attached to them move as well. Sure, you could argue that the maximum angle of the horizontal stabilizer should then be more restricted. But then you could end up in situations where you are out of trim at certain speeds and altitudes which isn't very nice for the pilots. The other option would then be to make the elevators longer. But then you end up with an airplane with very sensitive pitch controls which also isn't a very good solution.
      Edit: I should also add that there are other things that can be done, like moving the whole tail further from the center of lift to create more leverage. That would then cause a whole host of other problems. Like with so many things in engineering it's about finding a balance.

    • @davebaton8879

      It should also be noted that the question as written could be read to imply that a runaway trim cannot be dealt with unless the elevators are able to overpower the stabilizer. That is not true. There should always be a manual backup that takes precedence over the electrical trim that would allow the pilots to trim the aircraft without the use of electrical trim.

    Excellent work Petr! Despite only ever being a passenger in an aircraft, the last time being 4 or 5 years ago, I felt I was right there in the cockpit with the overwhelmed captain & the confused & misled instructor!
    I think the biggest problem during this flight was both of the cockpit crew had forgotten that the force of trim adjustment always exceeds that of the horizontal elevator, a fundamental error.
    Secondly, the awareness of the near 50% more powerful CF5 engines in this model A310, & their effect on the overall performance of the aircraft was not considered.
    Greatly different control feedback forces between the simulator compared to the actual plane was not helpful either.
    The 'panic mode', induced by the unexpected aircraft behaviour, & all the audible, blaring, simultaneous warnings were a large contributing factor
    as well.
    Of course, the accidental bumping & activation of the toga buttons didn't help the situation either!
    Thank goodness some auto-trim activation was built into the 310 software, or this may have turned out to be the last flight of this aircraft, & all those aboard!
    They survived by the 'skin of their teeth', & hopefully, all have learned a lesson!
    Thanks again mate! I really enjoyed this, & was relieved by the 'happy' ending!
