Did This Plane Crash Because the Pilots Read a Chart Wrong? | Air Disasters | Smithsonian Channel

- The data from PIA Flight 268, which crashed on September 28, 1992, reveals that the pilots didn’t follow Kathmandu Airport’s meticulous descent chart. But how did an experienced crew miss such a basic step?

it seems so unfair that the pilots bare all the responsibility and their chart was so crappy and cheap.
Cost cutting. Pressure on all for on time performance. They just want to get the airplane in air. Sometimes windshield are also not cleaned properly because no ladder is present. I have myself cleaned the windshield because to get the tressle will make the flight delayed. Landing lights not working. Pathetic state of working and finally everything will be blamed on pilots.
to be fair, pilot should've known better. making clumsy mistakes like that is just inexcusable
Many navigation systems will control the autopilot and fly the plane down to the inner marker. You can also blame the investigators and or Smithsonian youtube channel for not knowing what they are putting out. But it protects any navigation equipment manufacturer.
The maps may need to be reviewed to be more user friendly but at the end of the day he is a pilot and he should take precautions and use more critical thinking when flying over known-to-be-dangerous mountainous terrain
@@draco2xx I like the way you make assertions without backing them up.
Is it me or am I addicted to this channel?
Here I am also

Me too
yeee
I always love seeing this series recycling the actors.
The blue-shirt investigator apparently had survived a lost 737 (DHI574), a 737 overshooting a runway (GIA200), a 737 landed in a river (GIA421) and after all of those circumstances, now a seasoned air crash investigator
Actually he was the first officer in DHI574 episode, he died there so apparently hes god.
In the Thai airways episode he was both playing the captain and lead investigator in the same episode.
You gotta wonder what the budget really is for this show sometimes.
@@farhanatashiga3721 in the thai airways episode, the captain was a different actor and both accidents happened around the same time so its make sense to use the same investigator.
🤣🤣🤣
Promotion after each death
People should remember this. PIA were once the shining example of how to operate a national carrier. They gave a lot of help to Emirates when the latter was gaining their feet in commerical aviation. Emirates today learned a lot of their operating style from PIA. Its shocking to see how much PIA have declined.
Because of politics bro
and the whole pilot licenses scam and cheating in Pakistan (involving some PIA pilots). Decline indeed... :(
Interesting fact: Emirate’s flight code, EK, come’s from it’s debut flight from Emirate (Dubai) to Karachi in 1985.
Sad to say, Pakistani politicians destroyed PIA
I am from Pakistan and political issues has destroyed PIA.
Well my friend Pakistan as a nation has declined so what can we expect from it's state flag carrier?
*"They were flying the approach, but one step ahead."*
Me jumping on the staircase steps be like :
lol
lol
Bruh
Lol
True I do that by skipping one stairs step lol
After the crash PIA Airways installed landing checklist onto control columns
thats good
the chart itself causes ambiguity. look at the descent line path...
It's called the glideslope, and it's made that way to reduce risk of ground terrain collisions
@@harryroberts388 Well... I mean it kinda didn't do it that time did it?
@@9999AWC The chart assumes that the pilots are competent. In this case they weren't.
@@battlec43 No, the people who designed the chart assumed it was fail-proof, which it wasn't. The pilots were experienced. If the investigators found that the chart and cockpit was designed in such a way that it could lead to missing a detail easily, then you can't simply blame "pilot incompetence". Furthermore, it's easy for you to sit at home all relaxed and criticize others; I'd love to see you be in the hot seat. I have; during an IFR approach you're satires with workload (flying the plane, briefing the approach, performing pre-landing checks, communicating with ATC, etc). Therefore, if pilots are already saturated in that phase of flight, then the cockpit ergonomics and the IFR approach charts should be made as to minimize the possibility of misunderstanding (like what happened in this case).
Aviation occurences don't happen merely because of one thing; it is a string of events that enable such an outcome to occur. Look up the Swiss Cheese model. If ONE factor happened differently or did not occur, it is very likely this crash would not have happened. So don't disrespect a deceased crew for an honest mistake when they did their duty to the best of their abilities, because NO ONE is infallible to mistakes, no matter how experienced they are.
I love how the one thing that brought down the plane was the captain’s thumb
Should this be a joke?
@@not_the_abyss_3051 Yes
Yes it was a joke. I do not “love the crash”
@@carwickstudios5131 Great.

“The crew have made a fatal mistake”
*ningningniny its brighter here*
The crew *has made a fatal mistake
Chart creator should have been held responsible to a degree
Yeah, it heavily points at pilot error in the official findings, but it's more of an inadequate cockpit layout and confusing charts. The pilots probably did the best they could with the severe limitations.
I am from pakistan
Really appriciated that u focused on PIA crash stories thanks alot will be waiting for moee

@Just some yeti with internet access because it’s FUN happy now
@Brad Henderson yes tea was fantastic for that indian pilot 😂😂(long live Pakistan)
Bro your videos are great keep it up....
Plane crash: exists.
Smithsonian: ItS BrIgHtEr HeRe.
the way they narrate the story is best....
m addicted to this channel .....
hit like if u feel the same
so that pilots thumb was the reason that over 150 people lost their lives. This is so sad.
This Channel deserves minimum 3 million subs 💯
Every single thing is absolute perfect in videos. 👍🏼
We R addicted 🛬
Not too familiar with how planes are configured for airlines....but isn't it usually the manufacturer that decides where a clipboard would go in a cockpit lol? Seems like a bit of an odd thing for a airline to decide
Clear case of pilot error.. so scary and sad . This can happen at any time
Mayday, I love that show.
will you guys ever make an episode on Wayfarer Flight 515?
An excellent video. 💙 T.E.N.
Please make one about the airctaft in denver I really wanna see one
Crazy to think in the days of VNAV and ILS, that just a couple of decades ago, they were landing airliners with just charts
there is still no ils at Kathmandu. Only RNAV or DME.
@@naumansajid8630 point is ILS is common now, whereas back then this was common procedure
So they made the chart only 1,000 ft above the mountain, what a brilliant decision
Does smithsonian show full episodes
2:33 has anyone paused this and looked at the chart? If you look at the line, 10,500 ft is at 13.0 miles, not 16.0. At 16.0 miles, it’s above 10,500 ft (his thumb is blocking the altitude).
That, I believe, was literally the point of the episode.
Why are these so addicting ?
I DON'T KNOW! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
may all people rest in peace and there family move on and all souls go to heaven
Where can I see the whole episodes?
The same nice voice..
❤️
How can I watch full episode of this
OMG The Person showing the other workers the chart thing is the pilot from Garuda Indonesia!
I'm Also Addicted, specifically his voice
imagine having the budget to professionally shoot recreation and this is what you do with it
I think this is a summary of episode Kathmandu Descent that is similar to but not the same as The Lost Plane (Thai Airways Flight 311). They both crash head-on into a mountain in Kathmandu killing all on board. I can't find the former, Kathmandu Decent, full episode that is a Pakistan Airline.
What is the show name and which episode is it?
It takes one finger to change a fate.
I've heard my whole life how safe flying is, but I could literally watch a new video 24/7 for weeks, so how safe is flying?
Are u being serious? Considering the insane amount of flights that happen every day, the percentage of flights that result in a crash are extremely low meaning yes, flying is very safe
some of these are older, less new technology, some of these are just poorly trained pilots, some yes, are errors, but very very rare and all these videos aren't just in one year of occurence; over many decades
there are tens of millions of flights every year and there are less than 100 accidents every year as well. its pretty safe all things considering,

Love form Nepal ❤️❤️💓💓❣️❣️
I just wish i was a pilot. Congratulations to those who are...
Love from India 🇳🇪
The head investigator who is wearing blue cyan clothes is the same actor who play pilot in “The Plane that Vanished,” Adam Air, right?
You this guy is involved in like every video
Just a 1000 feet between normal decent and a head on collision?🤔
But why the terrain waring didint sound ?
Hard to believe this to be the cause...there are route checks
Approach control should of spotted the mistake and corrected their approach.
Can you do American airlines 191?
The parent show "Mayday" did already, Season 12 Episode 7 "Catastrophe at O'Hare"
I love watching these plane crash investigations
Okay no i was blown away when i found pkaistan had an airline
Can anyone explain me this investigation?
I couldn’t understand properly.
wait this isnt the 2020 may 24rth pia crash in karachi???
The Investigator , Is the one that landed the plane between 2 Bridges 😂😂👌💕🤔
I knew it
Thats way his face look familiar
Yep, the captain misplaced his thumb finger and that is how it went
In short, it wasn't pilot error, but it was paper error.
@@amnplays3211 it was human error
It was both. The approach chart was very small and there were no clips that the pilots could use to clip their approach charts.
@@amnplays3211 yeah, i agree with that
@@Powerranger-le4up yep, they think that the captain has some kind of 1000 eyesight level
now im really addicted from watching plane crashes
meh 2
On January 9, Indonesia also experienced a plane crash with flight number SJ 182
Year ?
@@UsmanAli-ug3tn 2021
A thumb made the craft go boom
Next japan airline 123 pls
why not the full episode? please upload full episodes
Yeah, I hate to look for the next piece.
Copyright, you have to buy the episode/series
You can find full episodes on the r/aircrashinvestigation reddit though
Where can find the full episodes?
This 3 min videos r like an advertisement 😠
Is it me or why does one of the investigators look like Peter Griffin but wearing blue pants and sounds a bit British
I am so sad to watch this cause I live yea
im flying to texas today and i have ben watching this for a amonth knowing im going to texas im prob gonna die.
You alive bro?
@@kylein9869 yup
At least the narrator survived
Why am I addicted to plane crashes?
The most likely thing a pilot would say: Numbers 😂
Bro why this both pilot in the hamalyas crash also
How did they shoot all this...
Really how they just record the pilots cabin actions
Camera man 😂😂
@@akrajeshwar 😂
There all actors it’s not the actual pilot of course..... duh
@@muZlimBoy ya
This is the potential outcome to bad design. Many accidents including the two US warship collision incidents in 2017 were due to bad design.
These people keep having reincarnations 😂
request plane sriwijaya Sj 182
Addiction
The actor is very handsome!
Please SJ182 from Indonesia
Why did the ATC not think they did something wrong? Not hearing that they ascended to 11,500 ft?
Yeah cause the pilot didn't listen to ATC. They said report one, six miles, but no change in altitude.
Love this channel.
I would like to request you to make Indian Air disasters...There were so many incidents has happened..
They have already done Air India 182 (Season 5) and the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision (Season 7).
Where do you watch the entire video?

@@orvinkent7600 ok thanks
plane crash outro happy music its brighter here :D
When did it happen
September 28, 1992
I think They got wrong way
Seriously 4 inch chart? How cheap was their employer.
Man back then Pia was like Etihad airlines a big one of course they are not going to use a cheap one
It's not pilot's fault it's the chart 📉 and no redder in airport and all.
Cause : one step ahead is not correct step in Kathmandu
Hmmm...
This is like a mystery channel. They always cut the movie in the middle. I don’t understand the point. What a waste of time!!
Hmmm weird
everybody thinking it was pilot mistake and no body thinking about why no margin or error is given in charts ? 1000 feet clearance above the top of the world or Pilots are supposed to be 100% correct or be dead
Khona into e off
This guy doing the investigation isn’t he dead 😭😭😭. I’ve seen him before in one of the episodes and all in board the flight were declared dead😭😭😭
He was a pilot 😭😭😭
I think his eye glass was the cause
It's actually Airbus 300
its airbus a300
0:00 king John Un
In heaven his friend ask,
How can u die ?
pilot : dont ask
a system is strong as its weakest link..a thumb caused a plane crash..nearly as good as air france with tape over the speed sensor causing a wrong input in flight computer confusing the silly pilot, stalling the craft..tape is used when washing the plane...gaffer tape 4 in square ...total loss....
All because a pilot’s thumb obscured part of the chart.
Gpws error
Omg
Never fly on an Airbus.
