Great stuff! Currently flying the 787, I couldn't help but notice certain procedures between the two types are somewhat similar. Also, I think I speak for a majority of your viewers when I say we deeply appreciate the dedication and effort you put into your videos. Thank you!
787 is a relatively new animal for Boeing; but lots of “Design Language” and “Operational Philosophies” transfer amongst corporate model ranges. This is true with MANY industries.
That is not surprising. Manufacturers tend to keep relative similarities between models, to my knowledge. Though the 787 is far more advanced, it doesn't mean that the cockpit has to be vastly different, either. It's definitely not a case of Boeing vs Airbus.
Aren't the emergency vehicles built to go UNDER the wings of most of the larger planes? Yes, it's been years since I've flown, but that was what I was thinking, the way the sim made the truck race by so close to the plane.
@@KECOG on the bigger aircrafts, maybe, but on a 737, I highly doubt that, but I' m not 100% sure. In fact, the 737 wings are pretty low, the truck would be the size of a car...
I would love to see more emergency landing sims, this was chilling to think of as a passenger but to see how the professionals handle these situations is very impressive
Been in a similar situation as a passenger years ago - bird ingestion into an engine, on a transatlantic flight. Ended up flying from Krakow to Warsaw, had to circle around for an hour to burn off fuel. Never seen so many firetrucks in my life. Ever since I make sure I board the plane in a state of borderline alcohol paralysis.
@@GuyFromTheSouth I was only a passenger, but my understanding is that if a plane is too heavy, it may damage the structure during touchdown, plus a heavy plane needs a longer distance to stop. Since we were above a heavily urbanized area, the pilot couldn't just dump the fuel. It was a 4 jet plane, so 3 engines were worki g (unless more engines were damaged - we weren't told). It musn't have been all that severe, though at the time everyone onboard went pale.
@@GuyFromTheSouth Long-distance flights usually have a higher take-off weight than the safe landing weight. In any case of an early landing, the aircraft will be too heavy to safely land. So in the case of a "moderate" emergency (an aircraft with 2+ engines can safely fly with one engine out), it needs to decrease weight by either dumping it from the tanks at high altitude or flying circles to burn it (many smaller planes don't have a jettison system). Of course in a more severe emergency like all engine out or with just a little bit of excess weight, an overweight landing is the only or safer option compared to staying in the air. An overweight landing is dangerous because it puts too much load on the landing gear (which could collapse) and brakes (which could overheat and catch fire).
@@TheNewTimeNetwork go around must enter the equation. Is there enough power to take that weight airborne in the event of a bad approach. Less fuel, smaller fire.
@Tournel Henry Chances of me being in a plane crash are 1 to 1000000000 (roughly). Chances of me being paranoid for the duration of the flight due to my irrational phobia are 1:1. So I'd rather get drunk. I agree it makes little sense. But my sense of paranoia doesn't agree.
Thank you for helping me overcome my fear of flying. With your easy and simple to follow explanations, and sharing your knowledge with us, I feel safer, more relaxed and generally more aware of what is happening.

Does the computer still told you what sink rate you need to reach the runway and how is calculated in this question all the bends you are flying? What would you do, if the only runway you could reach would mean strong, really stormy tail wind, do you guess just the different sink rate then with the higher speed or does the computer calculates all that for you? Would all that be much more difficult at night or low and rainy clouds? )
I'm really surprised at how well airliners perform at gliding, the engineering in this machines is amazing, and also the pilots! You both make flying safe and fun :) Nice work guys
One of the things I admire most about pilots and one of the reasons I started flying myself, is the professionalism, especially in an emergency situation. Watching the two of you play your parts, know who is doing what, staying calm with no power in the engines and land safely is just eye candy!! I could watch it a million times. And to know that all the pilots that have faced, or might face (hopefully not though) an emergency act in a similar way is inspiring. Once again, you've knocked it out of the ball park and into another dimension with your content. I would love to see more videos on emergency procedures like this. It would be cool to see you and Kelsey from 74Gear do an emergency procedure video, or maybe you could do a single engine failure procedure for us PPL holders. Keep up the great content. Have the app on my phone too. The 360 is unreal!! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I greatly appreciate it.
They make it look easy! The sheer amount of practice, repetition, flight checks, recurrent training, flight physicals and actual flight experience is incredible. The cockpit is, def full of stuff, but they know every switch, and way deep in their minds they know every system on the aircraft. The real challenge is being able to bring all of their knowledge to bear during an emergency, which relies on memory and the "real" but challenging ability to remain cool, and run those checklists, while flying a damaged machine. Pilots love flying, and the majority of them invest their entire lives into being able to do just that, replete with every challenge. I was raised by a pilot, a very darned good one.
I know absolutely nothing about flying an airplane but I absolutely love watching your videos. Keep up the good work . Something about flying a plane that amazed me lol
Thank you for making this type of video. To see what happens in the cockpit during emergencies is extremely helpful for people who have flight anxiety or those who just want to gain more knowledge about commercial flying. Thank you!
That was brilliant. As an aviation enthusiast, this inside look to all the practice and preparation flight crews participate in shows just how safe air travel is, even with inherent risks like bird strikes.
I thought the birds were cool, but I didn’t see any actually strike the windscreen. When Sully hit the flock of geese, he said it looked like a Hitchcock movie for a moment out the window.
Hats off for a job well done. Nice flying ace. Sully said that no one warned us..no one told us that we were going to lose both engines at a lower altitude than any jet in history, but it's ok..just make a left turn to Laguardia as if you're going back to pick up the milk. So facing this in reality for the 1st time, a pilot doesn't have enough time to gather his thoughts on how many feet per second he stands to lose at banking. If Captain Sully didn't immediately decide to land in the Hudson, and if it weren't playing up on his instincts then a plane would have ended up in the city of New York that day. On the Sims you don't get the sensation of real flying yes, but it's a chance to practice your skills and develop new ones. Thank you so much for this video because a lot of us wanted to see dual engine loss at low altitude, with a safe airport landing. Keep up the great work. Much respect Captain.
It's great to see that airline pilots are so cool, calm and collected in these situations...... this is down to their constant training for every single event possible. Great content mate.
All pilots are supposed to be ready to handle emergencies like this -- I wouldn't be surprised if part of their certifications are based on them proving it in simulators.
Even though that was simulated (I hope!) it still made me nervous. Really underscores the importance of training and temperament of the pilots! Great video!
I take my hat off to every Pilot out there flying Passengers around the world you hold their lives in your hands, you all make every passenger's journey an enjoyable experience unfortunately accidents do happen beyond their control and they try their best to keep every one safe, may God Bless you all 😊😊
Our jobs are usually well prepared and trained routines. But when something like that happens, you do feel the weight of your four stripes. And the satisfaction of well performed work - priceless. Greetings from sea pilot.
@@court2379 dual engine failure is practically never practiced for modern transport category aircraft. A single engine failure on takeoff or landing is trained (V1 cut, V2 cut, etc.), but both engines was never touched on in any of my training at the airlines.
You see how calm petter is. Years of training and knowlegde as a captain. And of course how you are as a person. Aviate and navigate when this happen and keep calm and then talk to atc and say mayday mayday. Very important.
Thank God there are smart and educated pilots in this world that save a lot of lives you guys are great I’m glad that they do the simulations like this because you never know when something horrible could happen in real life
Great insight into what happens in the cockpit.. It was my dream as a young boy to be a pilot but the dream was just to difficult to make come to, so watching these vids is the next best thing
@@chris77777777ify There was no time for the flight crew to dump fuel. Even if in an unrealistically perfect scenario the flight crew managed to begin dumping fuel the moment the engines failed to moments before landing, the fuel dumped vs the total fuel load would be negligible. It is of a much higher priority that the flight crew focus on flying the aircraft to a safe conclusion.
@@chris77777777ify The 737 isn't equipped with a fuel dump system. From Wikipedia: Aircraft have two major types of weight limits: the maximum takeoff weight and the maximum structural landing weight, with the maximum structural landing weight almost always being the lower of the two. This allows an aircraft on a normal, routine flight to take off at the higher weight, consume fuel en route, and arrive at a lower weight. ... During the 1960s, Boeing introduced the 737, and Douglas introduced the DC-9, the original models of each being for shorter routes; the 105% figure was not an issue, thus they had no fuel-dump systems installed.
Does the simulator allow making an external view of the maneuver as well - live or as a play back? It could help us, terrestrial creatures, maintain the situational awareness. Thank you.
Wow. I could feel the adrenaline. Great show of professionalism by you both. Really interesting to see the procedures used during dual engine failure. Thanks guys.
really cool video. As a flight simmer since MSFS appeared abt 1980 and thousands of landings it was very interesting because I knew exactly what you were doing and needing to accomplish to get safely on the ground. Keep it up
Its truly impressive watching a skilled professional undertake such a task and while under pressure with no time or room for error.. I hope all pilots are this good
I love this channel, I work in Aviation but I am a very nervous flyer, afraid of heights and just flying in general, but just seeing the way you react to certain issues that arise, it really eases my mind to know that most pilots are highly skilled like yourself.
@@court2379 He had too much altitude actually, as he explained. That was an equally difficult scenario because you may overshoot the runway and you can't just dive the plane too quickly toward the runway as the speed would be too fast and the break won't be able to hold, or in worst case the landing gears may break. And as he explained, with too low altitude you can't turn around to land on the runway. The only option then is to ditch into the water or land on a field.
@@Secret_Moon the crew that landed on a lever in Florida, weren't they flying a 737? If I recall correctly the pilot slipped the a/c to line up with his chosen touchdown point.
Yes, thats a big point! I was never scared of flying, but after watching mentours videos, I am constantly smiling cus the safety is so big. Even minor things, that made me think if this is really ok, or how much the wings can bend, how much turbulence an aircraft can handle... I feel so much safer now.
I've introduced his channel to a couple of friends and family with fear of flying. It's been an amazing source of help and relief for them. Mentor may want to consider a fear of flying course. He's extremely good at easing one's fears
The same ABC as with a 172, airspeed, best landing spot, comms + checklist. Also a great display of CRM! It's a great extension of the rule "no matter what fly the plane" saw you laser focused on flying the plane and offloaded the tasks to Elton beautifully.
They are professionals - that is what they are absolutely expected to do . CRM should be absolutely routine . They were doing their jobs - I'm not sure why all the froth about something we should expect any commercial pilots to be doing. I tip my hat to their professionalism.
Oh, I second Kanabar. I think the best part of your videos is the details you explain and how you explain a system and how it works(basic and easy the understand) for those who don't know anything about technical stuff and you break it down so they can at least get a grasp on how and why. Thank you.
I appreciate the captain saying to the first officer "do you agree" when going for the decent. If captains would say that in cases of emergency perhaps there may be fewer collisions. In many cases the first officers hesitant to say anything when the captain is wrong, and suffer the same fate.
You immediately turned on the auxiliary power. Captain Sullenberger did the same on Flight 1549, ignoring the fact that it was way down on his checklist. Has turning on the APU risen to the top of your checklist as a result of that incident? Or has it always been there? Terrific video. Thank you.
No engines means no power for hydraulics and secondary electrical systems. Also given the height of both this demo and the Scully incident there is little time for a physical check-list review but instant actions from memory.
@@SpamMouse I get that. It's definitely the most sensible thing to do, and Sully was extremely so, thankfully. But the fact remains that the US Airways (or aircraft manufacturer?) checklist for that situation had turning on the APU further down the list than it should have been. I was just curious about industry-wide revisions based on the incident.
Agreed. There are many examples of check-list procedure that are stupid for want of a better word, The best I think is the check-list for emergency landing during fire on board/smoke filled cabin. The procedure is to bring the aircraft to a stop, ensure brakes are on, engines are shut down and power off and only then initiate passenger evacuation.
at really low altitudes you don't have much time to go through what you could at say 30k feet these big planes can glide over 100 miles from 30k feet up
@@SpamMouse They had power and hydraulics. The accumulators provide hydraulic power and batteries. The RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed the instant both busses went dark and would have provided enough hydraulic and electrical power to land the plane. Two Airbus planes have landed successfully with zero fuel on board because the RAT works.
Excellent video ! I'm an aviation fan and it's not only super interesting to watch but also great information and the fact that you share it speaks well about your mentorship vocation :)
Brilliant!!! I though that all engines down meant certain death! I never realized a passenger jet had such an ability to glide. You've given me greater reassurance to fly again.
If you are interested make a Google search: "Gimli glider". It was a Boeing 767 and it also made a successful landing by gliding without the engine power.
Most planes have _some_ ability to glide, and in basically all situations you can make it so that you get a hard landing (enough to get concussions if you don't have your seat belts strapped properly, but not so hard that the airplane rips or there's any risk to a life when landed on a proper surface). And that's the thing -- with the correct angle your speed remains a constant while you lose altitude. Then you change your angle to reduce your falling rate but sacrifice forward speed (stalling just before landing, like 10ft, will just make you fall that short distance which the landing gear can usually take).
Anybody else watching these videos out of the fantasy that someday we will be on an aircraft and the pilots with somehow die or be incapacitated ... and the stewardess will run down the aisle screaming "The pilots are gone! Please! Can anyone fly this thing?" And we will say "Yes, I watch Mentour pilot's UA-cam channel. Stand aside, I'll handle this!"
I thought that even though this was a simulated two engine failure I could still sense the tension in the cockpit. Well done showing how to think on your feet, no time for anything else brilliant
I am not fond of flying either because of that turbulence but I always remember my Godmother saying "Just think of God's hand under the plane guarding it". I also have friends that work in the aviation industry and the chances of crashing due to turbulence are rare, easier to die in a car accident!.
This actually looks like 90% of my normal landings in FSX, either with small GA props or with airliners. But I then began watching Mentour Pilot videos which greatly increased my interest in flight simming and now all my landings in MSFS are smooth (well, most of them).
I know very little about aeroplanes but this video makes me feel that commercial passenger plane pilots are the salt of the earth by any measure I judge by
Brilliant video. Never seen a double engine failure simulation before. Keep up this fantastic channel. I love it and always excited for a new video to come online. Just wondering what a double engine failure below, for example, 2000ft would be like.
Darren Hibbert there is a video by air baltic where a guy was using airbus simulator to answer the question at what min altitude you can turn around land safely with both engines down. It was 2500ft :).
Fantastic video and voice over explanation. Great teamwork up there between you and professionalism. Cheers for making this content available. You do have a true passion for sharing knowledge.
Nice and smooth landing. Couldn't do better myself. Great job in such circumstances. No panic, straight thinking and most of all flying the plane not wasting time trying to figure out what have happened as in most of the cases... Great Job!
Figuring what happened is sometimes useful as certain actions could be taken (or avoided) when doing that. In this case it was obvious that the engines could not be restarted which made the pilots skip the attempt to restart, and that actually gained enough time to make a proper, gliding, safe landing.
I saw that an A320 went down in Russia today with both engine failure due to bird strikes at takeoff and fortunately landed in a cornfield just as you said, no landing gear, they were too low for a return.
@@neiljohnson7914 they fly at both takeoff, approach and landing altitudes. Temperature above 20,000 is too low for birds. I think I would surprised to find birds above 10,000.
@@neiljohnson7914 owls at 42.000 feet are bs but the highest confirmed birdstrike was at an altitude of 37.000 feet. some cranes and geese cruise at about 30.000, thats pretty insane for how common they are.
In order to get the required pilot license, you have to demonstrate (in a simulator) that you can deal with all those emergencies. And you need to demonstrate every half year, that you still can do it in order to not lose the license.
I really enjoy these videos that explain what fuction certain cockpit controls do. As a former submariner, you would be surpised to know that some of the cockpit functions of passenger planes are actually somewhat similiar to piloting a submarine. One concept I would like to understand more is how to interpret what gimbal readings mean. Does this function apply at all to passenger aircraft? I know it applies to spacecraft but I don't know if it applies to airplanes.
"How do you land an aircraft that has suffered dual engine failure, just after departure?" My temptation, of course, is to say - find the nearest long, large river! Sorry, couldn't resist it! Seriously though, an excellent video!
Great stuff! Currently flying the 787, I couldn't help but notice certain procedures between the two types are somewhat similar. Also, I think I speak for a majority of your viewers when I say we deeply appreciate the dedication and effort you put into your videos. Thank you!

That alarm when off "no time emergency landing"... This is not real and I still felt the chills
no its not real its a simulation
@@bullen__1428 wtf
Bullen__ are you illiterate?
Yeah especially since I watched videos with the last recording of black boxes and those same alarms go off it’s horrific.
@@bullen__1428 no it's not real
It's great to see that airline pilots are so cool, calm and collected in these situations...... this is down to their constant training for every single event possible. Great content mate.
Omg I am impressed! You did that like a boss. I am certain you will be prepared for most all emergencys. I would be happy having you as a pilot!
All pilots are supposed to be ready to handle emergencies like this -- I wouldn't be surprised if part of their certifications are based on them proving it in simulators.
Even though that was simulated (I hope!) it still made me nervous. Really underscores the importance of training and temperament of the pilots! Great video!
Very simulated, yes.
I was hoping it would give you that type of feeling and that it would explain the importance of keeping to procedures.
I take my hat off to every Pilot out there flying Passengers around the world you hold their lives in your hands, you all make every passenger's journey an enjoyable experience unfortunately accidents do happen beyond their control and they try their best to keep every one safe, may God Bless you all 😊😊
Our jobs are usually well prepared and trained routines. But when something like that happens, you do feel the weight of your four stripes. And the satisfaction of well performed work - priceless. Greetings from sea pilot.
Pretty cool to see a simulated emergency from inside the cockpit. Love the detail. Thanks for uploading
Wow, 20 min+ video, felt like 3 minutes. Great one!
Excellent! I’m really happy you liked it!
That can feel like 3 seconds for the people involved
It is incredible how much effort it takes to land a plane during an emergency. Good job guys!
Miracle "Off" The Hudson
I would absolutely love to have a detailed breakdown of every switch and moving thing in the cockpit during this!
Kinda reminds me of US Airways flight 1549. Except their landing was slightly a bit different for them.
Excellent video, by the way!!
birdstrike and engine failiure. that souds a lot like US Airways flight 1549
" reminds me of US Airways flight 1549" ===> Reeeeeealllly? What makes you say that?
A few of the passengers finished up with more than very cold damp feet.
bobbi mke plane lost both engines shortly after takeoff due to bird strike
He literally said that in the video...
It’s amazing how much we can learn from one incident. I’d imagine catastrophic engine failure low altitude training is now mandatory worldwide.
If course at least since pilots had to land on the Hudson River
Nope
You train for it as a private pilot, don't know why they wouldn't do so for type certified aircraft that have dedicated simulators.
@@court2379 dual engine failure is practically never practiced for modern transport category aircraft. A single engine failure on takeoff or landing is trained (V1 cut, V2 cut, etc.), but both engines was never touched on in any of my training at the airlines.
@@court2379 I've often thought that some of such pilot training should spend at least a bit of time on gliders; especially their landing procedures.
You see how calm petter is. Years of training and knowlegde as a captain. And of course how you are as a person. Aviate and navigate when this happen and keep calm and then talk to atc and say mayday mayday. Very important.
Peter is definitely a smart boy for sure..one of the best pilots in the world .
magnificent teamwork, y'all rock the cockpit.
A 1st class film, many thanks for explaining what goes on at the pointed end of a plane.
I’m so happy that you guys seem to like it! There will be more technical videos like this, in the app soon!
Even though it was an simulation, it was still exciting to see, thank you for the up load
Legitimately one of the most interesting channels on youtube.
Thank God there are smart and educated pilots in this world that save a lot of lives you guys are great I’m glad that they do the simulations like this because you never know when something horrible could happen in real life
Great insight into what happens in the cockpit.. It was my dream as a young boy to be a pilot but the dream was just to difficult to make come to, so watching these vids is the next best thing
Also, cutting off fuel to both damaged engines is also wise. This action would prevent a major fire.
Am assuming they did this here?
I notice they didn’t dump any fuel. Was it fully loaded?
Not the best upload.
Well presented but not enough
@@chris77777777ify There was no time for the flight crew to dump fuel. Even if in an unrealistically perfect scenario the flight crew managed to begin dumping fuel the moment the engines failed to moments before landing, the fuel dumped vs the total fuel load would be negligible. It is of a much higher priority that the flight crew focus on flying the aircraft to a safe conclusion.
@@chris77777777ify The 737 isn't equipped with a fuel dump system.
From Wikipedia: Aircraft have two major types of weight limits: the maximum takeoff weight and the maximum structural landing weight, with the maximum structural landing weight almost always being the lower of the two. This allows an aircraft on a normal, routine flight to take off at the higher weight, consume fuel en route, and arrive at a lower weight.
...
During the 1960s, Boeing introduced the 737, and Douglas introduced the DC-9, the original models of each being for shorter routes; the 105% figure was not an issue, thus they had no fuel-dump systems installed.
Yes, I was really surprised that they didn't cut fuel.
before I start, why are people disliking all these videos? they can and probably will save lives at some point!
Does the simulator allow making an external view of the maneuver as well - live or as a play back? It could help us, terrestrial creatures, maintain the situational awareness.
Thank you.
terrestrial creatures lol
GREAT video, thanks so much. I'm a private pilot and I won't be flying an airliner anytime soon, but I learned a lot from this. Absolutely fantastic.
Excellent! Happy you liked it!
Wow. I could feel the adrenaline. Great show of professionalism by you both. Really interesting to see the procedures used during dual engine failure. Thanks guys.
really cool video. As a flight simmer since MSFS appeared abt 1980 and thousands of landings it was very interesting because I knew exactly what you were doing and needing to accomplish to get safely on the ground. Keep it up
Its truly impressive watching a skilled professional undertake such a task and while under pressure with no time or room for error.. I hope all pilots are this good
I love this channel, I work in Aviation but I am a very nervous flyer, afraid of heights and just flying in general, but just seeing the way you react to certain issues that arise, it really eases my mind to know that most pilots are highly skilled like yourself.
there is usually alot more sweating in the real event
He had enough altitude to pull it off. Do it again 2000ft lower.
@@court2379 He had too much altitude actually, as he explained. That was an equally difficult scenario because you may overshoot the runway and you can't just dive the plane too quickly toward the runway as the speed would be too fast and the break won't be able to hold, or in worst case the landing gears may break.
And as he explained, with too low altitude you can't turn around to land on the runway. The only option then is to ditch into the water or land on a field.
Correct 😂😂
@@Secret_Moon could do a slide slip
@@Secret_Moon the crew that landed on a lever in Florida, weren't they flying a 737? If I recall correctly the pilot slipped the a/c to line up with his chosen touchdown point.
6:31 - some nice landing gear shock absorbers they have. The plane is not even shaking during the touch down. Wow.
Aren't those simulators fantastic. So realistic its unbelievable. Love the way he says ' we made it! That's a good thing'. 👍
I used to scared of flying until I watched Mentour Pilot
.... And now you're terrified???? - I'm joking .... he is very, very good and shows ultra dedication to his craft
Reassuring to understand just how much thought and effort goes into safety in civil aviation, I assume.
Yes, thats a big point! I was never scared of flying, but after watching mentours videos, I am constantly smiling cus the safety is so big.
Even minor things, that made me think if this is really ok, or how much the wings can bend, how much turbulence an aircraft can handle... I feel so much safer now.
I've introduced his channel to a couple of friends and family with fear of flying. It's been an amazing source of help and relief for them. Mentor may want to consider a fear of flying course. He's extremely good at easing one's fears
Thanks to aircrash investigations it help me
The same ABC as with a 172, airspeed, best landing spot, comms + checklist. Also a great display of CRM! It's a great extension of the rule "no matter what fly the plane" saw you laser focused on flying the plane and offloaded the tasks to Elton beautifully.
They are professionals - that is what they are absolutely expected to do . CRM should be absolutely routine . They were doing their jobs - I'm not sure why all the froth about something we should expect any commercial pilots to be doing. I tip my hat to their professionalism.
Oh, I second Kanabar.
I think the best part of your videos is the details you explain and how you explain a system and how it works(basic and easy the understand) for those who don't know anything about technical stuff and you break it down so they can at least get a grasp on how and why. Thank you.
I appreciate the captain saying to the first officer "do you agree" when going for the decent. If captains would say that in cases of emergency perhaps there may be fewer collisions. In many cases the first officers hesitant to say anything when the captain is wrong, and suffer the same fate.
Very interesting video. Thanks for the upload.
That's a really extreme situation. Well done for getting her on the ground.
Ever watched a video on youtube and thought "man, this is what I want to do with my life"? That just happened to me.
WOW!!!! Despite everything.
Despite EVERYTHING.. you smashed it. Without smashing the aeroplane. Big Cymru 🏴 love for
You and your FO 👌🏻 ❤
These videos are fantastic, it's great to be able to see the procedures in place for specific circumstances!
You immediately turned on the auxiliary power. Captain Sullenberger did the same on Flight 1549, ignoring the fact that it was way down on his checklist. Has turning on the APU risen to the top of your checklist as a result of that incident? Or has it always been there?
Terrific video. Thank you.
No engines means no power for hydraulics and secondary electrical systems. Also given the height of both this demo and the Scully incident there is little time for a physical check-list review but instant actions from memory.
@@SpamMouse I get that. It's definitely the most sensible thing to do, and Sully was extremely so, thankfully. But the fact remains that the US Airways (or aircraft manufacturer?) checklist for that situation had turning on the APU further down the list than it should have been. I was just curious about industry-wide revisions based on the incident.
Agreed. There are many examples of check-list procedure that are stupid for want of a better word, The best I think is the check-list for emergency landing during fire on board/smoke filled cabin. The procedure is to bring the aircraft to a stop, ensure brakes are on, engines are shut down and power off and only then initiate passenger evacuation.
at really low altitudes you don't have much time to go through what you could at say 30k feet these big planes can glide over 100 miles from 30k feet up
@@SpamMouse They had power and hydraulics. The accumulators provide hydraulic power and batteries. The RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed the instant both busses went dark and would have provided enough hydraulic and electrical power to land the plane. Two Airbus planes have landed successfully with zero fuel on board because the RAT works.
Excellent video ! I'm an aviation fan and it's not only super interesting to watch but also great information and the fact that you share it speaks well about your mentorship vocation :)
Brilliant!!! I though that all engines down meant certain death! I never realized a passenger jet had such an ability to glide. You've given me greater reassurance to fly again.
If you are interested make a Google search: "Gimli glider". It was a Boeing 767 and it also made a successful landing by gliding without the engine power.
Most planes have _some_ ability to glide, and in basically all situations you can make it so that you get a hard landing (enough to get concussions if you don't have your seat belts strapped properly, but not so hard that the airplane rips or there's any risk to a life when landed on a proper surface).
And that's the thing -- with the correct angle your speed remains a constant while you lose altitude. Then you change your angle to reduce your falling rate but sacrifice forward speed (stalling just before landing, like 10ft, will just make you fall that short distance which the landing gear can usually take).
"They filled the engine up with dead birds" LOL
Rinderkennzeichnungs as he said that I read this
And now it smells like roasted chicken 🤣.
Anybody else watching these videos out of the fantasy that someday we will be on an aircraft and the pilots with somehow die or be incapacitated ... and the stewardess will run down the aisle screaming "The pilots are gone! Please! Can anyone fly this thing?"
And we will say "Yes, I watch Mentour pilot's UA-cam channel. Stand aside, I'll handle this!"
Auriam 😂
Call Ted Striker
After watching these videos, and having played MFSX, I certainly would not want to fly an airbus to a safe landing. 😱
Hahaha good one
And then you become a pilot with out having to go in to debt for training
I thought that even though this was a simulated two engine failure I could still sense the tension in the cockpit. Well done showing how to think on your feet, no time for anything else brilliant
I am more interested how to take off with no engines.
With no engines i dont think you can lift a commercial aircraft. Jet engines are designed for those procedures
2 lines of coke
In the US, AOC is looking into that very thing in her "Green New Deal." She apparently believes it's possible. . .
@@naii2481 Very observant!
You just need a runway at an 45 deg. angle with a steep cliff at the end. Then put the aircraft all the way on the top and release the breaks. Voila!
I hate flying but I love these videos... airline pilots are amazing.
I am not fond of flying either because of that turbulence but I always remember my Godmother saying "Just think of God's hand under the plane guarding it". I also have friends that work in the aviation industry and the chances of crashing due to turbulence are rare, easier to die in a car accident!.
Can do one AT NIGHTTIME/NO VISUALS?
what if they're not functional and everyone on board is dead and the plane is crashed on the side of a mountain?
"...they filled the engines up with dead birds" I about choked on my drink lol such a good line.
This actually looks like 90% of my normal landings in FSX, either with small GA props or with airliners. But I then began watching Mentour Pilot videos which greatly increased my interest in flight simming and now all my landings in MSFS are smooth (well, most of them).
Yes, that is how you do it. More SIM's please!
I dont like this, I love it. With this way a person can learn a lot. Know the procedures
Kenneth J Jackass
Absolutely buttered that landing with no engines! Amazing skills
I know very little about aeroplanes but this video makes me feel that commercial passenger plane pilots are the salt of the earth by any measure I judge by
Brilliant video. Never seen a double engine failure simulation before. Keep up this fantastic channel. I love it and always excited for a new video to come online.
Just wondering what a double engine failure below, for example, 2000ft would be like.
Darren Hibbert there is a video by air baltic where a guy was using airbus simulator to answer the question at what min altitude you can turn around land safely with both engines down. It was 2500ft :).
That was intense, I loved it!
Excellent! I’m happy to hear that
That was intense to witness, and amazing to see.
I'm just a Microsoft flyer but how generous of you to post these videos. Many, many thanks!
Fantastic video and voice over explanation. Great teamwork up there between you and professionalism. Cheers for making this content available. You do have a true passion for sharing knowledge.
wow I was all topped up with adrenalin. Nice walk away job .
Nice and smooth landing. Couldn't do better myself. Great job in such circumstances. No panic, straight thinking and most of all flying the plane not wasting time trying to figure out what have happened as in most of the cases...
Great Job!
Figuring what happened is sometimes useful as certain actions could be taken (or avoided) when doing that. In this case it was obvious that the engines could not be restarted which made the pilots skip the attempt to restart, and that actually gained enough time to make a proper, gliding, safe landing.
Also want to say the first officer was doing that like he could do it in his sleep well done!
Another great video 🙌🏼
I can also imagine that having more open terrain can help with getting back, Vs Sully having Manhattan and Queens.
I saw that an A320 went down in Russia today with both engine failure due to bird strikes at takeoff and fortunately landed in a cornfield just as you said, no landing gear, they were too low for a return.
I didn't know birds flew at 35000 feet
@@neiljohnson7914 they fly at both takeoff, approach and landing altitudes. Temperature above 20,000 is too low for birds. I think I would surprised to find birds above 10,000.
@@neiljohnson7914 I saw an owl at 42000 feet
@@neiljohnson7914 owls at 42.000 feet are bs but the highest confirmed birdstrike was at an altitude of 37.000 feet. some cranes and geese cruise at about 30.000, thats pretty insane for how common they are.
That was impressive to watch. I hope to have pilots equally prepared for such emergencies in all my future flights in the real world.
In order to get the required pilot license, you have to demonstrate (in a simulator) that you can deal with all those emergencies.
And you need to demonstrate every half year, that you still can do it in order to not lose the license.
Great video!!!! As always Thank you Mentour...
Excellent I love this style of video from the cockpit!
Impressive! Mentor - you're the best trainer !
I really enjoy these videos that explain what fuction certain cockpit controls do. As a former submariner, you would be surpised to know that some of the cockpit functions of passenger planes are actually somewhat similiar to piloting a submarine. One concept I would like to understand more is how to interpret what gimbal readings mean. Does this function apply at all to passenger aircraft? I know it applies to spacecraft but I don't know if it applies to airplanes.
Excellent, excellent video. Graphix quality excellent as well. Thank you.
This was great. I loved the replay with the explanations as well!
"How do you land an aircraft that has suffered dual engine failure, just after departure?" My temptation, of course, is to say - find the nearest long, large river! Sorry, couldn't resist it!
Seriously though, an excellent video!
Waw very good demonstration. applause to the pilot
