    How much spare fuel does a commercial flight usually carry? To me as a layperson being on hold for 45 minutes seems like quite a long time. And the 2 hours spare fuel of the cessna seems like a lot as well.

    • @forgottenfamily
      @forgottenfamily 4 года назад

      Not a pilot so I don't know but if you have x% margin, 10 minutes extra on a 30 minute hop from Seattle or Northern California would be 45 minutes pretty quickly on a plane from the east coast. You might have certain buffers just for scenarios like this anyways.

    • @addictedgamer4893
      @addictedgamer4893 4 года назад +2

      The minimum amount of fuel to carry during the day is 30 minutes past the set arrival time but it's up to the companies discretion if they want more fuel on the plane and that Cessna was likely either practicing and wanted to come back in or traveling and had full fuel in the tanks (a standard Cessna 172s can fly for around 5 hours on full fuel with standard tanks or 3 hours on tabs)

The military has guidelines for sure though, and I'm fairly certain emergencies involving their aircraft, however minor, are locked down and investigated by their own people before being released to the public in the case that there is some sort of classified information involved. That being said, it is certainly a public curiosity because it occurred at a civilian airport. ;)

      Simple fact is, it's just not a big story. Outside of some curious locals and a "news at 4" story of a runway being shut down due to an emergency landing, nobody would really care too much. There was nothing that pilot wanted to do less than to declare an emergency on a public frequency, I can guarantee that.

    • @Micrologist2351
      @Micrologist2351 4 года назад +3

      Skyven Razgriz Low fuel can become an emergency situation. Unless you have a fuel leak you would contact ATC and inform them that you are approaching minfuel long before it becomes a definite emergency situation. You can generally ask for priority and/or declare an emergency for low fuel whenever you want, you might have some stuff to answer for once you’re on the ground though.

    • @wadesaxton6079

    • @johnopalko5223
      @johnopalko5223 4 года назад +14

      From the Pilot/Controller Glossary: "MINIMUM FUEL. Indicates that an aircraft's fuel supply has reached a state where, upon reaching the destination, it can accept little or no delay. This is not an emergency situation but merely indicates an emergency situation is possible should any undue delay occur."

    • @michiel2001
      @michiel2001 4 года назад +7

      The answer has already been given but: every plane needs to have enough fuel to fly to its destination miss an approach, fly to the closed different airport, circle for 30 minutes and land. As soon as a pilot can not do those things anymore he should declare an emergency. Ofc planes take more fuel than this minimum because they don't want to have to declare an emergency after the first delay. If a pilot is in a long holding pattern or has delays for other reasons he might start to approach this limit, in this case he wil declare minimum fuel. The air controller will try to give priority but this is not an emergency yet. If he were to still get delays he will declare an emergency. This combination of rules makes it basicly in possible for a plane to run out of fuel as long as the fuel tanks don't leak.

      Precaution I think. Brake failure is common, this was a landing gear issue.
      Maybe they meant brakes but maybe they meant for example it didn't lock in place and they either didn't feel comfy that having had that issue they wouldn't also have brake failure. Or maybe they just thought it'd help the pilot if he went nose down or lost a back wheel set to not go skidding across the runway.

      Most (maybe all..) fighters US operates have emergency arresting hooks.
      designed to deal with some of the extreme situations fighters can have to deal with that make them require landing at abnormally high airspeed.
      There was a case of an Israeli F-15 that lost an entire wing (sheared at the wing root) that landed and ripped the emergency hook off the aircraft because of the high speed needed for it to fly.

On the base they have a net in the end (if there are not much space to like water and other things that can make it go bad if an overshoot happens). But the plane can, in normal circumstances, land on only 400 meter (and start on 500) so it has to be a real problem to not be able to stop on a several kilometer long runway. And they use the front canard wing that can tilt pretty much as an air brake and to give more traction to the wheels (that has antilock disc brakes).

      AudieHolland two completely different arresting systems. Carrier cable arresting gear is designed for continual use. Airfield arresting gear is designed to be used only occasionally, so it cannot be restored as quickly. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if the other runway’s ILS gear had not been undergoing maintenance (probably routine). Murphy likes yo pick inconvenient times.

      DME is accurate since HPSTR is the IF waypoint on the ILS/LOC approach. The aircraft would be using its DME equipment to maintain the assigned distance. DME also gives you 'slant range' to a waypoint, and since HPSTR is a waypoint at 3700' and the acft are flying at assigned altitudes above that, DME is correct.
