Pilot here. Tragic accident. I always tell other pilots I fly with, do not only rely on the pilot monitoring reply when you ask for a specific action to be performed. Is your duty to be the copilot backup and always check that what you ask on a checklist is accomplished accordingly.
Thank you for bringing us home Safely every day
This, I feel, is a big part of why there are two to begin with - being able to cross-check each other for human errors. Obviously there are many important reasons for having 2, but being able to keep each other in check may be one reason that is often overlooked by us casuals.
A330 cpt here, I agree %100
May your exceptional judgment and experience carry you through all flights safely 🙏❤️
You should stop telling everyone that you’re a pilot or Provide proof that you’re an actual pilot.
It's genuinely depressing to know a husband and wife died in two different plane cockpits, on the same airline.
@@swiftbeatrice776so she died 2 times?? 💀
@@swiftbeatrice776Wow that's sexist as fuck. This is why I only date other women, they're much nicer than men.

wtf ?@@swiftbeatrice776
The ATR-72 series is a workhorse plane with a good safety record.Its fully able to fly on just 1 engine. Both of these accidents were human error & could've been easily avoided...and yes, there are warnings/alerts when a prop has been " feathered"...
In both of these accidents the pilots did not correctly assess the state of prop pitch, so if there are warnings/indicators, it is fair to ask "are they enough?"
@@danpatterson8009 If your red brake light comes on in your car, indicating a failure of the braking system and you continue driving along until you need to come to a stop, and then crash, was the light enough? I'd say yes, and driver's fault.
@@morrismonet3554if it was intentional, of course it’s the drivers fault. But if they did not notice it, then that’s the part that needs improvement
@@morrismonet3554 Uh...if your brakes suddenly fail in the midst of driving, how are you supposed to stop driving safely? The whole point is that a sudden system failure when you're in a fast moving vehicle is *hard* to deal with, period.
as someone who flew the ATR72 for 8 years, yes they are enough @@danpatterson8009
12:07 - Actually, the person on the ground manages to record some flowers in some pots. Good job, camera man.
Oh shit a plane is crashing. Wait, are my petunias budding
camera man got scared, plus the full crash wouldn't have been visible anyways due to buildings blocking the view
@@user-wi8nc9wo3x it gives me chills seeing how some people can still joke after witnessing something so traumatic
“A plane is barreling towards my location, good idea to just stand there and keep filming instead of pointing the camera down for a sec so I can see if I’m in danger”
I feel especially bad for that child that lost BOTH parents in TWO different plane crashes. What are the chances?! 😩
And as pilots! Usually the loss of someone close make you wary of the way they died, not enthusiastic to do the same thing. Then to die in a crash as well...just wild. Their poor kid.
When I first heard of the crash I immediately checked with this channel and patiently covered the news for any details. Great work and may those rest in peace. So tragic
I never even realized the propeller blades could change their angle til this crash.
Yep,its to reduce drag incase of engine failure
Many propeller driven engines used what is called "constant speed" propellers. Add gas causes an increase in rpm which caused the blades to increase pitch to bring the rpm back down to normal which causes more thrust.
even small planes can get these. but they're like 5 times as expensive as fixed pitch propellers, which already cost as much as a car on their own
Saw the video of the Yeti Airline crash from the one of the passenger POV. The scream and fire at the end haunted me. RIP.
Link please?
Same as british midland 092, flight 235 crashed not only because of a problem with 1 of the engines, but the pilot shuts down the wrong engine.
I went to college with someone whose brother who died in that, he wanted to be an aircraft engineer because of it.
I’m sure I have seen the second video before on this channel. Or I could be wrong.
The first crash was clearly down to awful incompetence from the pilot and crew.
The second crash also seems very avoidable, hence sadder and more tragic.
I’ve also always been instinctively nervous and leery of propeller driven aircraft. I just am.
I thought I did as well.
Second video is on the channel from 5 months ago. Unsure why they reuploaded it
Yup .. the second one has definitely been here before .. I've seen this too.
Good to hear you all confirm my suspicion that I had seen that video before. So, I was right. Also, this isn’t the first time that I’ve seen videos uploaded for a second time, a few months apart.
a lot of videos were being reuploaded.
For example I was sure there was a FedEx and Southwest near collision video long ago, turned out it was remade.
Guess there are only so many accidents. Which is a good thing.
I absolutely enjoy your channel ! …
you make the telling of aeronautical errors clear in a non snooze kind of way …
thank YOU for all your work …
Two things not included: (I'm no pilot just an observer)
A) They, or the pilot instructing, elected last minute not to go straight in, East to West roughly, which was unnecessary and made it more difficult for both as they had to make a downwind(?) path and do a low sharp left 180 to land. This made the instructors vision of the field more difficult (right seated) and added to his monitoring load of the PIC.
B) A telling photograph (on JB's channel) in another ATR 72 showed the very low positioning of both the Flaps and Condition levers (and throttles), with the flaps lever virtuallly under the visible left thigh of the wide legged pilot seated on the right.
I can accept the brain (certainly mine) automatically converting the feel of the control levers in to how those levers engage and move, forgetting instantly he was reaching for flaps. He was a Captain used to the left seat and had to monitor the PIC, the new approach to a new runway, and allow the PIC to get on with it.
I can't aportion blame directly, but they should not have been doing a Captaincy test with a full aircraft to a new airfield and decide on the less used and more difficult reverse route ...
after that ... all bets are off - though I would think one of them would recognise the power loss and sound(?) of the engines in time, but IDK for sure.
In this particular instance CRM goes out the window because she felt she had to respect the training captains experience of the aircraft and the airport. (this has been said by many on other channels)
Goddamn awful tragedy.
For someone who speaks only from an observers' point of view, you are very in tune w/aviation because I wouldn't know the first thing about any of it. This is the first time I've ever heard or seen "feathering" the propeller! I think it's an ingenious feature!
How sad that a child has been orphaned as a result of losing both parents in two separate piloting incidences. How terrible for all these victims in these crashes, may they RIP.❤🌹
@@isabellind1292 Thank you. Nicely put. I think someone replied on another video that the child would have been around 21 when he lost his mom here; but how terrible to lose your father very young and then your mum in the same way.
I wish him (or her) peace and a happy and fulfilled life. His parents were both a great inspiration.
@@pomerau Hopefully an experienced pilot will read your comment and offer some additional information. Thank you for your reply.🌺✈
Absolutely NO NEED to say GD, taking the Good Lord's name in vain! 😔 You must be an atheist or agnostic. If you aren't either, then you should know better!
Way to bail her out simp
So very sad and tragic that this plane crashed. It was unbelievable as to how fast it went down. May all those who perished, Rest in Peace always 🙏
Yeah imagine the kid 😢. First the dad now the mom.
That kid was probably late for school because mom would sit in the driveway revving the engine in neutral while claiming the car has no power.
A passenger on board was recording at the time of the crash. Truly tragic. May all the souls on board Yeti 691 RIP.
nicely recreated videos, i enjoy your channel a lot and i thank you for all the work you are doing
in memory o the people who died in both accidents 🙏🙏
Just watched Mentour pilot's video about the Trans asia flight... a truly horrific accident
Glad to be watching this AFTER my 11-hour flight today! Brilliantly done as always.
May the victims of TransAsia Airways flight 235 and Yeti Airlines flight 691 RIP. ❤❤
Your work is amazing. I’d have never guessed that I’d be so fascinated about airplanes, it’s definitely your work that brings me here.
Thank you for your work. This is an excellent video.
Why aren’t there alarms or some obvious indication when props are feathered? You’d think that would be an important safety feature to have. I’ve seen so many crash videos because of planes not being designed properly and without necessary indicators.
I agree.
I do note the issue of pilot overload, where they have too much information in a crisis and freeze? Is also a problem.
Engine shutdown is pretty 😳 important, though.
There should be an indicator.
There are. When the props are feathered, master caution lights illuminate in the engine display instrument panel (yellow light), indicating that the AC alternators are not producing electricity (because the prop is not spinning).
@@michaelrichter8766 Your point is well taken, but an unblinking yellow light that could mean several different things is not exactly a lifesaver in an emergency where seconds matter.
@@michaelrichter8766 Normally you would be right. But the engines were not off, the props were spinning and the alternators were producing electricity.
@@georgecurious5940 no. The alternators are not the same as a generator. The generators are always spinning and producing direct current (as long as the engine is running). They’re driven by the power section of the engine; not the prop. The reduction gearbox, drives the alternator, ac power, not dc. In this engine, if the prop is spinning less than 70%, all the instruments or equipment associated with some ac busses will lose power, and so the “master caution” (yellow light on the central console panel) will illuminate.
bruh you released this exact same video on march 19th 2020 and on june 9th 2023, respectively. why are you showing the same things again? have you run out of incidents?
Bruh if you don't like it make your own videos.
Who cares bro. I never saw the first one
@@steftrandodude is trippin
I discovered your channel about a month ago & I'm seriously addicted to it. Your explanations are quite clear even to a non-aviation person like myself. Best of all your simulation images are so crystal up to a point that sometimes I confuse them for real video. Everything about your videos is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
It's an addictive channel, glad you found it!
100% agree.
This crash is so sad great video tfc
How many of these crashes have we seen that were caused by pilot error in reference to autopilot, auto sensor, auto stick, auto trim, auto throttle, etc?
Most airplane crashes(88%) are caused by pilot error.
I believe this makes two.
so sad. The Yeti airlines crash could have been avoided if the ATR had a ridged stopper for its feather lever something similar to the flap control lever in the 737. This would require a conscious purposeful lift and move for the lever. The captain would have realised he was moving the wrong lever if it refused to move as he expected the flap lever to. Perhaps a design error as well?
TransAsia was stupidly tragic. I guess with millions upon millions of flight hours being flown commercially, the odds of an event so beyond comprehension will eventually happen. The Yeti crash is no less tragic but at least, the pilots could tell left from right!
How very sad both events. It always feels worse to me when it is caused by human/pilot error. Mechanical failures can happen to anyone, anytime. I was surprised 15 people managed to survive the first crash. RIP all souls lost.
R.I.P to all Victims of the Tragic Crash 😥😭
Best flight channel on RUclips!
Aeronautics expert here !!
Here it is a complete failure of flight command system and flight monitoring system instead of "blaming the pilots'' the outdated ATR systems need to be at par with boeing/airbus FMS so that these situations could be avoided..
Companies blame dead pilot just to save there asses
Dead men tell no tales and can't defend themselves.
Beautiful graphics on the intro - really gorgeous.
When your car breaks down in the middle of the road, you alone bear responsibility for your decisions. But in the case of the pilot and the plane, all passengers will pay the price for his decisions.
This video clearly confirms that pilots in general must undergo extensive training programs to deal with emergency situations efficiently.
The BIG problem is there is plenty of training, but very little experience.
It doesn't help that airlines are emphasized on hiring for "diversity" instead of hiring the best of the best regardless of race or gender. So you're gonna get a lot of bad pilots in the air. Unfortunately and this will keep the channel alive and well for years to come
Seems to me both of these crashes generate questions about the man-machine interface. What does the aircraft tell pilots about prop pitch (where it actually is), and how? Do cockpit indicators allow pilots to distinguish between a dead engine and a good engine with a feathered prop? What is the function of the ARM light?
Most aircraft do tell you much but during landing you can easily get tunnel vision because the pilot it’s mostly relax because they are almost at ground, this it’s why the first 2 minutes and the last minutes of a flight it’s the most dangerous because this is the time pilot mostly don’t gunna notice problem
Great channel 👍
Can u do Bek air 2100 or Leicester city helicopter crash cuz i cant find a good vid on themm and ik u will make it a banger
The TikTok posted by the flight attendant is so humanizing yet so haunting. She's smiling and expressing a happy demeanor, not knowing that her life as well as those of everyone else on board, would be tragically cut short.
You had failed to mention that the yeti airlines had someone live streaming and you can see the whole crash fire and all
Wow
@@kennethhacker3014 I’ve seen it, a passenger was actually recording during the crash and the phone actually stayed on all the way after to where it’s sitting in the dirt with fire all around it.
Very good video.
"Once qualified, she joined Yeti Airlines." BRILLIANT !!
Hi TFC, i would like to see a video covering Alliance Air flight 7412 in India
BTW, great videos 👍👍
Every Thursday i wait for this! You do incredible work and remain neutral instead of blaming the victims, and of course, there are cultural gaps.
But i honestly believe, the negligence here, was lack of training and basic good sense skills.
It is beyond sad for the families and loved ones of the victims.
Thank you Flight Channel for your professionalism. I look forward every week to your videos.
Excellent video and text. Who can explain such lapses of pilot judgment? If it were one pilot alone, impaired by drugs or alcohol, then it's logical. But two pilots?! Bizarre.
Poor passengers. Flight crew from hell.
Earned a sub
It is just scary to think about that this could happen on any plane anywhere in the world so not just at Nepal with the Yeti Air ATR 72
My God, what senseless tragedies both of these episodes were. How awful. As always, very interesting. Thank you.
In both accidents the pilot feathered the props, you would think they would have a warning. I've flown in the ATR 72, Alaska Airlines use to fly them along the west coast of the US. It's loud and shaky in the cabin, most US carriers stopped flying them.
Alaska airlines still fly's them.I flew one from Wenatchee Washington to Portland Oregon 2 years ago,2021.It's been awhile since I flew on a prop aircraft.
"loud and shaky in the cabin"
Oddly enough, that could be a good description of some flight attendants😆
I worked for Alaska Airlines regional carrier, Horizon Airlines, for over two decades as a Mechanic, Maint QC Inspector and Propulsion Shop mechanic. Alaska Air or Horizon Air has NEVER flown the French/Italian made ATR 72, contrary to what you've stated here. There are only 43 active US-registered aircraft that belong to either the ATR 42 or 72 families, divided among six different operators. Most are flying Cargo and None are located on the West Coast.
Your entire storyline here is looking pretty Sketch here.
Alaska Airlines is currently exclusively Boeing 737's. With their acquisition of Virgin America in 2016, they became owners of a small fleet of Airbus A320's, now all sold off, and they have long since retired their fleet of MD-80's. None of these A/C types are even remotely similar to an ATR 72.
Their regional carrier, Horizon Air, did fly somewhat similar designs to the ATR 72, but none were ever even close in either passenger capacity, wing configuration or landing gear locations to the ATR 72. Are you one of those Legacy Media "Aviation Experts" ?, because you sound like one.
I fly on the ATR 72 semi-regularly from Leeds to Dublin (Air Lingus Regional). They are indeed an assault on the senses, a real boneshaker, and I'm not sure I'd want to spend more than a 50-minute hop on one! Regional air travel at its most basic and unglamorous, but it gets me from A to B, which is ultimately its job.
@@rich_edwards79 Sounds like the infamous Ryan Air. Did they really take out all of the passenger seats and replace them with leather straps hanging from the ceiling?
I ❤ your channel
Oki my husband dies in a plane crash piloting leaving me and my baby and i decide to become a pilot in order to do what exactly? Orphan my child? Insane. Great videos TFC as always well made@
It wouldn't be the first time that pilots shut down the wrong engine.
Can you please cover the Blue Angel crash that killed Captain Jeff Kuss in Smyrna, Tennessee on June 2, 2016. That would be interesting content.
I remember that one!

Hey, TheFlightChannel! Can you please recreate Korean Air Flight 631?
(prob the 5th time i asked him about ke631)
Aren't there 'audible alerts' to confirm if something that important was set or changed "?"... (like for example an audible 'FLAPS 30 set' so as to realize if such an action was taken ... Sounds like a "preventable" loss... but of course.. in theory .. after it already happened.
There are no audible alerts, pilots are expected not to make such basic errors by following checklists correctly.
Unfortunately, when they don't, shit like this happens.
Wake up babe, new TFL vid is out ❤️
Again Uploaded?
yeah
Wow thats terrible, Wonder if maybe a voice allert would help? for important sysmtems like flaps and feathering? when u put flaps to 30, a voice should maybe say "Flaps 30" and "Props feathered" or something like that?
I have not flown since 1976. I an Terrified at the thought .
I flew in one once a Dutch made Fokker,beautifull efficient aircraft,just pray the engines don't stop midair esp whilst in a turning bank angle,seen to many videos of them rolling onto their backs when engines fail or wings are iced up,dropping their noses and going straight in...no survivers!
Wow, no words 😢
Wow what a really difficult situation
Hi - may I ask what simulator you use for the reconstruction flights? Thanks.
Is this the: "I may have shut off the wrong engine."
"BRUH-"
Yes
I’ve heard of the pilot in the second case, very unlucky lady. I hope her kid is ok
We need cameras on the flight deck.
Especially on a Commercial plane.
They already have them on long haul commercial trucks and the drivers HATE them.
So they activated the thrust reverse on final approach instead of lowering the flaps to landing position am not a pilot but that's my best guess plus the stick shaker 👉🏿😢😢
The decreased engine power and feathering would have been accompanied by significant changes in sound. Very surprised that experienced flight crew wouldn't have noticed this.
It also appears on the screen, but both were so preoccupied to land BOTH failed to notice!
I love that there's people who studied their entire life to create these planes, accounted for so many things and made these incredibly powerful and smart machines, yet the dumbest people fly them. The duality of humanity.
No final report for the second crash?
Non Pilot, Maybe the auto feathering system needs a bit more Audio & input response from both pilots,, from the vids I just watched all four pilots had little to no idea what this system was doing or that it was even doing it.
I don’t come for the videos. I come for the basement dwelling aces in the comments. Never disappoints…
Yeti ATR crash proves how critical it is to cross check. Don't simply assume that the crew member has performed the checklist. Cross check and make sure that everything is being done correctly.
Fatalities 43
Injuries 15
Survivors 15
As a function follows form guy, that 2nd plane, the ATR 72 should never have gotten off the drawing board.
Why cannot aircraft have a VERBAL audio warning about the exact problem? You can get these for automobiles now but not on even current aircraft?
Isnt this a reupload?
damn right
This is actually same thing.@@peasantclips2382
Please make an video in memory of PIA flight which crashed in Cairo in May 1965.
Im wondering what the percentage of crashes are caused by human error ?
Truly tragic!
This is a repeat upload. Damn!
So, two levers next to each other. Pull the wrong one upon landing and everyone dies - with no warning system whatsoever. And I'm supposed to be on one of these things thereabouts in 6 months..
Great video, thank you. On the first one, a flight crew fails to notice a impeding failure during the take-off roll, and decides the shut down the left engine after the right engine feathers its propeller. I have trouble believing the pilots even went to flight school. Did they print out diplomas on their home printers and apply for a license? Or did they think it would be fun to turn their airplane into a glider? In the second case, it is human nature to pull levers or push buttons by feel once an operator (pilot, driver, ship's crew) is "used to" the vehicle. Drivers in automobiles change air conditioning or heat settings without looking because they have done it hundreds of times. They hit the turn signal lever without looking - it's always in the same place. Unfortunately, in an airplane, if two different critical functions are represented by levers sitting next to each other, it's easy to manipulate the wrong one. If you are late to recognize what you did by the airplane's behavior, you and the passengers are going to die. As soon as power was lost as indicated by cockpit conversation, an urgent search should have begun focusing on the fundamentals. Engines producing power? Check. Propellers producing thrust? Negative! Why? Identify and correct. Understanding the fundamentals, and also knowing and understanding the pitfalls of an given airplane's design are crucial. No airplane is perfect and understanding the flaws and trade-offs is critical to safe piloting.
Oh no
There should be feathered warning alert at least and throttle and flaps lever should be made distinct by atr.
what flight sim do you use
Never flying
The worst Nepal Airlines than ever before
Flying in America is a blast ! You don't know what you are missing !
9/11 u mean?@@deepthinker999
Seems like I've seen that second story before.
Can you do a video on a normal flight? Kind of missed those
These are important things happening to the plane....are there no lights, no screens that would show all this happening?
TheFlightChannel: Did you repost this video? I seem to remember watching this a couple months ago, but it only covered the second crash in this video. I'm almost certain it was yours. No other flight channel matches your quality covering these accidents.
Layman speaking;Those turboprops are dangerous,i mean look at them, absolutely optimised for economical flight,fuel consumption efficiency(max profitability for operators), very little glider abilty there once propulsion is lost, i suppose same applies to most modern aircraft,but the short thin wings on these tubes looks a tad worse than the rest!
Just head-shaking.....
The first crash is what happens when you get cocky and think you are better than the standard recovery procedures that have been put in place for emergency events.
thank you for no narration
Surely they could see what was going on if they had looked at the gauges, e.g. engine speed.
Yea… my friend is at the airport while I am watching this video😅
How can neither pilot notice zero of two engines are producing thrust?
At 1:28 the video says the right engine began to flame out after the prop auto-feathered. Question: Isn't the P&W engine on this airplane a free turbine engine, which does not automatically shut down the engine when you feather the prop?
The engines shut down because the pilot put the throttle/fuel in shut-off.
@@jefflebowski918 Thanks, but that does not answer my question.
BTW, the pilot did intentionally shut down the left engine with the condition lever, but the video says the right engine flamed out (uncommanded) due to the prop feathering.
The auto feather does two thing manly: feather the prop and cut off fuel on they engine. It that does automatically or by moving the fuel/feather lever to “feather/cutoff” positing.
@@michaelrichter8766 Thanks. Just to confirm, you are talking about the PW100 series engine?
@@gort8203 sorry, you were correct: if the autofeather operates o this engine, the propeller feathers but the engine continues to function, unless the fuel and feather lever is placed in the off position. My mistake. On other turboprop engines, the autofeather does the two things; feather the prop and cut off fuel.
