      From this pilot’s point of view, with over 53 years as a commercial pilot, it is a very bad aviation channel. A pretty high percentage of the statements they make before each clip are wrong. They are trying to make pilots look bad when the clips show very common moments in the course of a flight.

    When the 5th Firebird flew through the formation, I thought "they didn't almost crash, that was planned". Then they hit the jet wash and when that wing dipped, I was like "whoa, shit!". 😱 It wasn't piloting skill that saved them. It was his ass puckering up so tight that it sucked him away to safety 😂.

      Too true. I Googled and not a single joke about wake turbulence came up. I did find this one about turbulence in general:
      A plane encounters some heavy turbulence. Once they've passed through it, the cabin crew take the drinks trolley through the plane to give the uneasy passengers a complimentary drink.
      The steward asks one man what he'd like and he says, "I'll have whatever the pilot had".
      It's not a very good joke.

    The problem was the turbulence left by the fast pass of the other F-16. When that F-16 was destabilized, the one next to it was also affected a little. They should know, that's why at airports there is a waiting time after a plane has taken off, especially B747, and A380. Crossing the path where a helicopter has just passed can cause a serious accident in an airplane, etc.

    • @tonyf9076
      @tonyf9076 2 місяці тому +1

      Do you know anything about aviation? Pilots fly "manually" all the time. The large wing of the A350 and certain weather conditions can cause an aircraft to float long down the runway. From a C172 to an Airbus A380 it happens often. Has nothing to do with automation.

    • @patolt1628
      @patolt1628 2 місяці тому

      @@tonyf9076Yes I know about aviation since I have been a pilot for 20 years (in the military). My comment was ironic but not completely wrong. The problem with new airliners nowadays is, from my perspective, too much automation which prevents pilots to fly enough manually in order to stay "in the loop". Usually everything's fine and automation makes everything smooth but ... as soon as something unusual and startling happens, the crew is going suddenly from a sweet and gentle torpor to total chaos like being awakened in the middle of the night and having to solve in a split second a difficult problem. I'm not a native English speaker: in my language we call it "the cliff effect" which means to be suddenly facing a cliff and not having enough clues and situation awareness to figure out how to climb the cliff and then you often get a crash. It's a metaphor of course.
      I would recommend you to hear what David Learmont, a specialist in flight safety, says about this problem: he is a former RAF pilot and Flight Instructor and his English is far better than mine to make you understand my point:
      ua-cam.com/video/ARybu2kHeZ8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FlightGlobal
      At last, coming back to my ironic comment about airline pilots: you are right, take-offs and landings are most of the time manual. The pilots manually take off (flying let's say 3 mn or so) and they land piloting 2 mn before touch down and both half time since they are 2 pilots on board. The rest of the time they watch the plane flying by itself so to speak.
      So when a pilot logs 10,000 FH, they say he is very experienced but how long did he actually fly the plane? Do the maths: Medium-haul flights are about 2 hours per cycle so about 5000 cycles for 10,000 FH but 2500 for each pilot. 5 mn per cycle gives 12,500 mn = 208 FH flying an aircraft: the experience of a private pilot in a flying club!
      For long haul flights it's even worse: a cycle being about 8 hours in average => 1250 cycles = 625 per pilot = 125 FH actually flying the airplane.
      I'm not impressed ...

      It was very clearly whale turbulence since it hit all of them and the team is all white men and has been for several years. Accidents, incidents, incompetence, and mistakes have been a thing for all of human history. Sorry but DEI isn't suddenly responsible for absolutely everything
