I have watched dozens and dozens of these videos and I have to say that this is the best captain I have ever seen. He was constantly both keeping his copilot calm and also asking for his input to verify everything was correct. I don’t recall that I have ever seen a single video where the captain did this. How many times have we seen an arrogant captain send the plane and its occupants to its doom. I don’t have enough words to use to express my admiration of this captain.
The best part is the evacuation.He didn't demand that ground emergency cars check for the fire,nor he waited to burn fuel.Since I use to work as a flight attendant,I always thought this is waste of time.Any signs of fire or smoke I think the instructions should be fairly simple,just land immediatly anywhere possible,and evacute immediatly,and ask questions later
well he is a former Frecce Tricolori pilot leader, the Italian version of the blue angels or thunderbirds. aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. So he should have that training down
I must comment that, after 16 years of Air Traffic Control, the Captain on this flight was the coolest I have ever heard,no sound oif fear or panic, straight up with his co pilot, he must have been an ex Airforce Pilot, his landing at over max weight was tremendous. Noit many guys like this one, I trust his company rewarded hiss coolness and skills. and his check out with his co pilot.Brilliant.
@@GhostWatcher2024 What are you talking about ??? 34 is nearly north, they had 8 knots wind from 270, this is westwind. If the aircraft is heading to north, he will have wind from the left. The fire on engine 2 (right hand) will be blown to the right, away from the fuselage.
@@danijuggernaut aircraft doesn't "feel" the wind as it travels within the air mass. The fire would only be moved by gusts, not by the general, steady, component of the wind. The only time the wind would affect the flames is immediately prior to touchdown (during the slipping phase of the approach) and once on the ground.
@@alk672 You´re talking bullshit, engine burning flames can blow to the fuselage standing on the ground and burn down the aircraft. That happens allready in aviation history with a Boeing 737-200 from Britidh Airtour in Manchester 1985. You just have no idea, all this wind direction issue is because of the aircraft evacuation in static position on the ground. Right engine flames with westwind, the flames will be blow away the fuselage.
@@GhostWatcher2024 You should start with flight simulators. You have some potential. I started 3 years ago and now I am proud to say I would be able to do a full flight in a real aircraft. I even know how to deal with emergency situations like this one. Learned from the best, learned by real books, a lot of practice on most realistic aircraft addons like PMDG, FSLabs, Majestic. Next year starting with my flight school
That's what the pilot in the Manchester 737 disaster failed to take into account. The flames from the engine consumed the cabin and the rest is well known.
This was a textbook case of proper crew management. Both pilots did a superb job of calling back each instruction, the captain kept his F/O cool and then calmly asked him to look around, "Did we miss anything". Just an incredibly professional job. The captain even had time for a small joke, [beep beep beep] _"What is this?..."_ *[Bank Angle]* _"We don't care about the 'bank angle'"._
Wow this pilot. I love how he kept checking in with first officer to make sure he was ok. Never once lost his temper or showed panic. Meanwhile, I freak out when my car fuel light comes on.
Not only kept the flight crew functioning, but simultaneously executed a single engine overweight landing so softly that he managed to not damage the airframe! Should have got some kind of airmanship award.
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 I'm not a pilot, but the the explosion occurred 4 knots before V1 while they were still accelerating. I don't think they had enough time to abort when they were right at the cusp of takeoff. I think the captain made the right decision to continue with the takeoff and try landing rather than potentially running off the runway with an active fire that could have ignited the rest of their fuel.
Gerardo Alvarado That is incorrect also the v1 is part of an envelope it’s not the red line. What do you have as a pilot that isn’t well trained and wasn’t able to make the decision when he had to so I’m thankful everyone was safe and he didn’t crash into a bunch of residential homes causing millions and damage and lots of lives lost
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 I actually just looked up the pilot, Maurizio Guzzetti. He has a Ted talk posted on UA-cam where he explains his decision. It starts at the 6 minute mark. Essentially he only had about a third of a second to make the decision to continue or abort the takeoff. He states that if he had followed with the proper procedures, the wind would have blown the fire into the fuselage while he was slowing down to a stop and people would have died. Obviously we cannot say that for sure. There was still a lot of luck involved, but his actions after making the decision in a life-or-death situation was very impressive and should be commended.
So the guy brings a plane with a burning engine safely into land. And the lives of all on board are saved! As well as the plane! Mmm... That is pretty well the perfect outcome to such an emergency isn't it!? Or am i missing something!!? And yet apparently. He is a total idiot! Ok! - Got it! - Then i guess, that's the kind of total idiot i want to fly with!
If you mean the pilots comment about the bank angle. I take his comment in context! Yes it is important!! And he was aware of it. But it wasn't of immediate moment! He would deal with it in quick order! Hence the comment! It was part of a series of maneuvers he undertook to deal with an emergency! And there were calculated risks involved! That can happen in life! You are in danger and have to make quick decisions! And there aren't any totally risk free options before you! You have to quickly calculate the odds. - Decide! - And act!! Or you dont!!
I like how he kept asking the FO for input. He KNOWS that he might not see everything and values the input. And FO keeps up with it's all right. And he goes through checklists quickly and efficiently. Finally, wit ha massive overweight, he babies that bird onto the runway with the smoothness he would handle the most delicate surgery. Bravo.
I like that through the stress, the captain kept asking if certain instructions were ok with the first officer. I know they have to, but for the captain to keep his head and remembered it all is quite amazing. Great channel. Best flight channel on the web!!
Overall great job by a competent crew. He sounded a little like he was yelling at his F/O due to stress, but I think that's just how Italian people talk normally.
Captain needed all the help he could get, to stay safe, and make sure he got it from FO. I don’t think asking “you ok” was meant to be an insult. More like keep your eyes open and let me know what you see. Really nice CRM. Do you think he hand flew the approach? Didn’t hear anything about autopilot. Folks owe their lives to these guys. Really liked him remembering the check list and involving co pilot in process. Dude flew the plane instead of losing his head.
@Geary Absolutely! Your comment rocks! The pilot truly *is* a legend. I have so much respect for this man it almost brings tears to my eyes. I've seen this Captain interviewed and wow is he something else! Cool, calm and collected and he does not have a massive ego; just a true genuine human being. I love that. This man is in a different league than most everyone I must say. 🙏🏻👍🏼
I was just about to make the same comment. I know he was doing what he had been trained to do, but in the face of a real emergency adds great weighty ingredient to the mix. The Captain acted with expertise, still respectful to his First Officer but large and in charge. The First Officer responded as ordered, but was not acting as quickly as his Captain wanted. Captain had to repeatedly remind him to act "Quickly", even felt he needed to give his rationale for acting quickly.
That was the most professional handling of an emergency I have ever heard. True classy professional team all round. Congrats to all for the great outcome.
The captain did a fantastic job. Every decision exactly right at exactly the right time. He handled the plane and kept the copilot calm. He handled the plane and kept the passengers informed. He handled the plane and kept the tower informed. A fine pilot in every sense of the word. As usual, a great presentation from the Flight Channel.
When you hear the term CRM Crew Resource Management, it basically means that the flight crew was keeping each other informed and respecting each person's input. This captain and his F/O are a textbook example of how it should be done. Flight trainers should use this flight in a simulator, but with the flight crew's audio so the pilots can see how it should be done.
You know your captain is good when he has done all that the co-captain calls out and THEN the captain says....DID I MISS ANYTHING....Man, this crew was working beyond professional in a DIRE situation. I tip my hat off to them. Not only did they land....the plane and passengers were TOTALLY intact.👍👍👍 This crew is the PARAGON of.professionalism.
Mike Foehr we have no time to waste* pure professionalism. He did everything so quick and accurate. The way he communicate and work with the co pilot is just perfect
It's always refreshing to watch a professional crew do everything perfectly when so many of these incidents leave us wondering if the pilots forgot how to fly.
That is why they didnt crash, they are communicating well with each other, unlike other airlines pilot and co pilot, theres some "HEIRARCHY" attitudes, so the ending is that they crash their airplane...
The best part about how the pilot handled the situation was when he, without any hesitation, told the F/O to continue the take off in a very calm voice. He knew exactly what they had to do and he pulled it off perfectly. No panic, pure professionalism.
@trvman1 Keep it to yourself. I really could give a flying fuck if people want to be referred to as a man, a woman or a baked potato - but i dont want to hear irrelevant identity politics shit on a video about a completely unrelated topic.
The exact kind of person whom you want in control. I have experienced much worse and it is not fun when you do not have complete confidence in people who hold your life in their hands.
A Godfather of pilots does exist. Boom, No Dump Fuel, Bank Angle, Fire close to passenger's window, a relatively newbie first officer, panic cabin, he just got it all taken care of. LEGEND!
@@uniqueurl the horror in the first officer’s response?🤣🤣 If you don’t know the story please don’t comment, people are acting like the first officer panicked, the audio is just really bad…
He's a former Frecce Tricolori pilot leader. He is calm and collected, has everything under control and yet asks for confirmations and constant support from his first officer: "Is this all-right with you?", "Do you see anything wrong?". TRUE LEADER.
@@susanruck9197 The "Frecce Tricolori" is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. Maurizio Guzzetti, the captain, was the Frecce's soloist (call sign "Pony 10") in his military days.
Great CRM (Crew Resource Management). Collaboration, pooling information resources, touching base with fellow officers to collect relevant information. A model for how it should be done in a crisis.
He said in an interview he had about 1/3 of a second to decide and said if he stopped (which he could have) people would have died. He took the high road and it worked!
This crew was exceptionally professional. The captain had nerves of steel and excellent communication skills, always asking the fist officer for feedback and making him feel involved. Cool yet focussed. I’m very glad everyone was ok.
I admire people who speak a second language well and can even do so in a crisis moment. Then I saw his LinkedIn. He speaks Speaks English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
Most Eutopeans speak more than their own language.But Italians in general lack the English part.I remeber light years ago I was lost in Milan and must've asked everyone I saw about a certain train station and couldn't find anybody who spoke English to the point where I started using Arabic,still no luck😂😂😂
I love how the engine explodes and the Captain just calmly says continue to his F/O who totally trusts him and lifts the plane into take off. He instantly backed his Captain to bring them all down again safely. Amazing to see this - kudos to all involved.
Yes, that decision was split second and it was the wisest one. A scary situation but the captain stepped up and earned his salary. Note - as soon as the engine fire was discovered, he took control of the aircraft from the first officer immediately. You need leadership in a crisis and in a captain - this man provided it, and proved himself worthy of his title.
Give his C/O credit for listening and following the Boss' Order or Derective ! He did not panic. Faith in the competence of a veteran pilot helped in this happy ending to be sure.
Aight everybody, I just learned who the captain is: Maurizio Guzzetti, former Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team member on the MB339. He became the soloist (Pony 10) after the Ramnstein incident. He also flew on the F104 while on duty. Where do I book my flights with this guy? lol
The Captain is an EX Leader of the Italian " frecce tricolori ", his name is Maurizio Guzzetti, one of the best pilot in the entire world, the passengers have to be proud of him. He managed all for the best to start to keep in charge some decisions like don't stop the aircraft at V1 and succesfully land a plane 42 Tons over the maximum TOW , He could be considered an Angel for 273 people on bord !! Thanks to Capt. Guzzetti !!!
*+Alfiere Lusso* If only he'd be sailing the _Costa Concordia_ on that fateful day, things may have ended up quite differently. Men like Guzzetti are a rare breed.
@@annakeye Schettino is not a normal Capt. He's a very stupid man, believe me in Italy we have a loto of Maurizio Guzzetti Capt. and not so much stupid people like Schettino , but you're right, in that case the Capt. may be the big difference !!
I am stunned at how composed he sounded. Taking the time to provide instructions to the first officer as well and asking for his input. A lot of crashes happen just because the rest of the crew is too intimidated by a captain and failed to step in and correct their mistakes.
Or the opposite happens and a lazy captain puts a much less experienced co-pilot in charge of the controls - and doesn't immediately take over and take charge, when a crisis unfolds. That too can cause tragedy, as in the Air France disaster of 2009. Note - as soon as the fire was discovered, this captain announced he was taking over from the F/O and immediately assumed full responsibility at the controls. Respect to him. That's what you call earning your salary!
"We don't care about the bank angle." That cool response is significant to see how good this Captain really is because it's an acknowledgment to himself and the crew of the warning, at the very least. How many crashes have we heard and seen where the "low terrain" or "pull up" warning wasn't even acknowledged? Even if you think it's wrong, at least copy it.
WOW! The pilot was the pinnacle of professionalism, that was a very bad situation, yet he made sure his instructions were clear and being followed. There was no panic or being unsure of what to do. He still kept checking on the co pilot to see if he was ok. Absolutely brilliant! In a critical situation. I would want that pilot. Landing without structural damage, minimum damage to the tires and engine. WITHOUT any injuries. VERY well done. I am thoroughly impressed.
Good job captain, not panicking, aware of the situation, giving orders what to do, informing passengers.. exactly what a captain should do in such situation
There might be a little error in this video, fuel dumping system is optional on B767s but I have seen an interview with the capitain of this flight, a former Italian fighter jet pilot of Frecce Tricolori, and he didn't say this plane couldn't dump the fuel, he said the reason why they didn't dump the fuel was because you should never dump fuel with an engine on fire because the fire would ignite the fuel and the plane would turn into a fireball, it's a safety procedure.
Ex-military pilots are just wonderful. I've watched dozens of close plane crash calls, and ex-military pilots seem to be so cool and can handle emergencies easily.
I wondered that too. I see now way they would dump fuel unless they were absolutely confident there were no flames. Also, I wonder how many planes have attempted to land above max landing weight and had structural damage or “fell apart”? I imagine there is a certain type of way to land under these conditions but curious what the success rate is.
Can someone explain why there would be a modern jet were fuel dumping wasnt part of the design of the aircraft? I mean, it makes sense why this captain didnt due to fire risk, but it seems weird for certain models of plane to not include fuel dumping in the design.
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 Why wouldn't he? He saved the plane. Stopping would have meant an uncontained cabin fire due to being full fuel with a hot engine on fire. It has happened before. He knew what he was doing: ua-cam.com/video/TDOyXPZcx18/v-deo.html
Martín Marconcini am I wrong by thinking since he was prior to V1 he should’ve extinguished and aborted ? What is the proper protocol if you don’t mind
A Frustrated Gamer It just doesn’t make sense to me to take a heavy aircraft above the airport and smashed into a bunch of residential homes creating a much larger loss of life Because you were a coward
Any wrong move could have costed all their lives. This Captain made every move right and saved everyone onboard! God bless him and the rest of the crew.
What an absolute gem of a man, a men above men. *"Are you alright? Are you with me?"* Taking the time in an incredibly stressful, dangerous & time sensitive period to check the welfare of his right. Absolute gem, hands down a good man & national treasure. *PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS*
This Captain, out of all the Captains who have dealt with Air Emergencies is probably my # 1. For his brilliance but also for his complete lack of a negative Ego. If any of you have not yet, go watch an interview done with him. He's a sweetheart of a man.
I came here to say what everyone else noticed! This captain did a fine job, especially when he asks his copilot if he is ok with the decisions that the captain is making! Fuckyeah, that’s how you fly a heavy! Flawless, especially considering English is his second language!
This is how it's done, this had me on the edge of my seat, due to all the other reckless pilots on the other videos. But big respect for this crew, they did things in a safe and timely manner, without confusion on lack of communication. The captain is the true level headed person in this, without his quick thinking as soon as the engine caught fire, or being able to multitask and check on his cp to keep him calm they could have easily gotten something wrong.
The pilot is indeed a legend. Kept his cool, made logical decisions, kept his FO engaged and prodded him to be fully involved. Runway choice shows forethought required to be a good pilot. I'm just so damned happy for everyone involved. What a show of coordination from the flight deck, controllers, cabin crew. Brilliant!
You have to hand it to the Airline who employedhim. obviously they are adept at choosing the best,thisis not simpy something that happens,butis an excellent method of crew choice aligned to appropriate Crew skills and management
OK, who here was hoping to here more about the Pilot. He was calm throughout, thought about the fire and impacts on the cabin choosing a landing where wind would blow any fire away from the cabin, and kept directing the First Officer throughout the process. He even knew enough about the aircraft to take a sharper than normal bank, "We don't care about the bank angle", to get back to the airport quicker, as he understood the aircrafts abilities and how the warnings apparently worked (always a safety factor). I was impressed by the pilot, very impressed.
Walter Engler I second every word in your comment. Captain was cool as ice and landed the plan flawlessly 42 knots over maximum landing weight. Also kept addresses and keeping the first officer on point which was awesome to see. Great communication.
@@gundamnduke0 in the time it would take to make the call out to abort V1 would have been and gone, taking off in this case while on paper was not the right decision in practice it was the best and most logical decision. And on top of that he kept in mind the wind direction to not fuel the fire further as well as keeping in mind the overwight of the aircraft, addressing the passengers, clearly speaking and with his first officer and ensuring his mental state as well as using his CRM to the fullest.
The Captain handled everything with quick thinking, and firm unwavering control. He was totally in command from the start of the takeoff roll to the final stop. That’s the kind of Captain I would wish to have on EVERY flight! KUDOS to him, and to his F.O. They saved a lot of lives on this flight. Ima watch this one again!
This video gave me anxiety but im super impressed with how the captain acted during the whole flight. I was sitting and hoping that they would land safely and I'm super happy with how it turned out. Not only did the captain act extremely calm and professionally but he also supported his first officer and stayed calm, double checking everything and I would be honered to fly with a captain like that.
The Captain was brilliant in all his actions, landing a Plane That Was Overweight and with an engine fire, yet he stayed on top of his game even down to what runway he wanted to aid passenger safety and evacuation...287 passenger owe this guy a beer.. (while he is off duty of course). As usual great video from Flight Channel.
I was very impressed by the Captain and F/O professionalism. These two are an example of perfect training and experience. I hope the aviation industries recognizes both pilots for their outstanding coolness under emergency conditions. There was total cockpit communications, clear and distinct information. Knowledge of wind direction as per runway. Complete command of an emergency situation. No airline could ask for a most outstanding cockpit crew. Unlike other emergencies where the cockpit crew under normal conditions fucked up and crashed. Everyone should take notice of how these two handled this situation.
Yep saw that video, made my stomach turn. I believe that was the plane where the ground fire crew did not know how to open the doors, had never had the training, only on paper. Furthermore, the cabin crew kept asking for evacuation orders. During my Air Force days, we practiced emergency conditions on a constant basis. Our commander taught us that flights are never routine, and we should treat everyone of them as emergency situations, and they paid off. Saving lives and equipment.
Captain comes from the 313º Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, and doesn’t surprise me the fact about how cool he is (Italians sounds always pissed off or nervous when they talk but he is very collected and sure about his words)... great that they both communicated and operated so good together. I wish I could fly with that crew.
And the part where he confidently said "continue" after the loud boom. So close to V1 and being so heavy, it was the right choice made, to continue on rather than trying to abort take-off.
kinda awkward to hear him say that, cause it can lead to stall if bank angle exceeds a certain maximum but he obviously held it in range other than that he did great and crm seemd to worked just as supposed to
This was textbook CRM. After saying he wanted to land with flaps at 20, the pilot even asked the first officer, "Are you OK? Are you all right with me?" to make sure he wasn't about to do something stupid.
@@yeags1383 Actually it was exactly the opposite. They did it like they had *never* done it before which was good because they hadn't. That's why they had each other check each other's decisions and work as a team instead of comparing the sizes of their steel balls.
That’s captain did a stellar job. He was so worried about his co-pilot because I’m sure he saw the look on the guys face. Amazing job, landing the aircraft with that much weight and so much at risk. Btw this channel is top of the line, love it 😊
He wasn't worry about co-pilot. He was worry about himself to not miss something. That's why he ask first officer to say if something wrong. It's all bout CRM (Crew resource management). _The term "cockpit resource management" (later generalized to "crew resource management") was coined in 1979 by NASA psychologist John Lauber who had studied communication processes in cockpits for several years. While retaining a command hierarchy, the concept was intended to foster a less authoritarian cockpit culture, where co-pilots were encouraged to question captains if they observed them making mistakes._
I've watched other videos of this flight. This Pilot? Is, quite literally, a "Pilots, Pilot". This was a heroic job- to include being calm enough to ask his FO if HE was ok, besides relating required information, AND, above all else? KNOWING that the fire was still burning, the importance of this cannot be stressed enough, as there are a few other stories, that didn't end this way, and ended with passengers burning alive, because the pilot did NOT consider, as this one did, under immense pressure, the WIND DIRECTION, for when he landed. What he did, was keep any fire that might still have been roaring? AWAY from the passenger area. 100% HEROIC, all around, for ALL of the flight crew- but especially for this Captain, who I'd put right up with there Sully, any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
Rick Rickard I totally agree with this as well. Yet, there’s still people that say he made the wrong choice and should have acted differently. It’s unbelievable. This flight recording should be shown in training sessions for new pilots as I’m sure it would stick with them.
The quick thinking crew was ready for an emergency like this. Great calls from continuing the take off, landing on a runway that kept the wind away from the cabin to flaps 20 instead of full flaps. Hats off to the captain, f/o and airline for such thorough training. Ladies and gentlemen that’s how it’s done.
"This is your captain speaking, please disregard the bank angle warning and prepare for an emergency landing. I'll be waiting in the lounge afterwards for all of you buying me a beer."
I have to agree with previous comments. This pilot and crew deserve medals. This film should be shown in every flight school for commercial pilots. Amazing.
The most hard core thing about this guy was not the bank angle, it was continuing take off before V1. Didn't hesitate, figure it all out instantly, made a decision, off they went.
@John Lorton Unfortunately I'm not a pilot, but I've heard it from the man itself who explained everything in a long and super interesting interview. But if you look at a 737 takeoff video, you can see that a 737 takes approximately 13 seconds to accelerate from 80 to 145 kts (approx v1), which is 4.6 kts per second. This means that you have less than a second from 141 to 145 kts to take the decision. Basically he heard the bang, looked at the speed, said "continue", and he was already at or above v1. Had he decided to cancel the takeoff, he would have been in a very narrow spot, without the certainty of stopping, and even if he managed to stop he had the additional risk of fuel and fire causing an explosion. As he said in the interview, "modern airplanes are safer in the sky than on the ground".
@John Lorton Not an aircraft designer but I think airplane engines are designed to stay on for safety reasons. For it to detach and sever all the different hydraulic lines is a design fault.
At V1 you have to take off no matter what. That's a rule every pilot knows. However many pilots have taken the opposite decision in the past often leading to a catastrophic outcome.
That captain was INCREDIBLE!!! Talk about absolute leadership, and grace under pressure. He showed care and concern for everyone and kept them calm while using his excellent knowledge of flying the aircraft. Wow!
captain: what is this? airplane: bank angle. captain: we dont care about the bank angle LMFAO the way it sounded like an exchange between him and the plane computer is taking me out 😭
That captain was cool, calm, collected, and obviously a very skilled operator, from the moment after the explosion when he simply tells the copilot "continue", to the badass touchdown. Another everyday hero.
The best pilots I ever seen in the situation like this, the captain is the best, always asking a first officer, "Are you ok with this? They're the best
OMG...that captain is a marvel. I know they're trained, but to remain so calm, AND STILL CHECK ON YOUR CO-PILOT, with no hint of fear, just leaves me in awe. While the captain took control, you have to give points to the co-pilot. He followed the captain's instructions and helped get the plane down safely. It's not easy to be in this situation, and I pray I never am, but the crew handled it with grace.
I have worked as both a Flight Attendant and nurse (US RN). This PIC runs his emergency like a doctor who is in full control of his cockpit/code blue. No wonder hospitals adapted CRM (Crew Resource Management) from the airline industry! Such impressive work from the PIC and FO and cabin crew.
I just wanted to add that not only was the pilot absolutely legendary, but the F.O. was actually doing a great job under pressure as well. Solid teamwork and hats off to both of them.
Hats off to the cockpit crew well ✔. Its so nice to hear that crm was being utilized. The captain reassuring his first officer. Thankfully they were able to land on alternate runway, being overweight as well. The captain decided with an engine fire, still burning even though they did pull the fire bottles. It seems when they were approaching landing, the engine fire extinguished itself. Well done all involved !!
OMG! There have been so many deadly airplane accidents depicted in this channel that were caused by excessive bank angle and this pilot says "shut up" and lands the heavy plane safely! TRUE SAVAGE!
This is the first of your recent videos that I have seen. Excellent. You have improved on a very good starting standard over time. The captioned commentary is definitely better. The actual audio is great. I hope you will be able to get this in some future videos. Proud to support this channel even if only in a small way at the moment.
Outstanding video, I loved every part of it the intro especially and the explanation with all the effects and music it makes me fill like I'm in a movie. I appreciate all the hard work you put on this fabulous video. Amazing season can't wait for the next one! :eyes:
I just found out that the captain used to fly fighter jets for NATO and also the Italian acrobatic fleet of the Frecce Tricolori. No wonder he has nerves of steel
When you fly the envelope on different aircraft you know what your aircraft can do....he was very experienced.....the bank angle comment was no big deal.....just a verbal confirmation to his FO.
@@terencehill3972 yes. When you reach V1, you are going too fast to stop the plane before the runway ends. V1 wolud be the "point of no return". If you try to abort a takeoff after reaching V1 speed, you'll crash, and maybe, die. So yes, it's way safer to take off with an engine on fire and a flight attendant screaming.
Nothing to be ashamed of dude, airlines & manufacturers are the fucking worst when it comes to looking the other way for safety checks to save a dollar. Now that the 737-Max is back out there again my ass is going to be scanning every single plane I ever get on now. It just sucks these assholes don't give a shit about their customers at all.
I’ve seen lots of these videos, hands down the most badass pilot ive watched! His co-pilot seemed to be shutting down a little maybe and he was just coaching him through it. Give this guy a medal!
@@josephpak4277 I agree. If he had rejected the takeoff as soon as he heard the explosion and literally stood on the brakes, he would have been able to either bring the aeroplane to a full stop on the runway or at worst have a minor overrun. The takeoff was simply unnecessary.
Samuel's Simulations hasn’t there been cases were the plane aborts before v1 and it overruns the runway just to crash? Especially with so much fuel in this case, it would have been bad
Samuel's Simulations you could also say this in Sully’s situation, when he lost both engines after take off. If he immediately turned back towards La Guardia, he would’ve made the airport, but he didn’t. Want to know why? Because the human needs time to understand what’s going on. I’m sure in this case, the crew had too little time to make the decision to abort the take off. They already reached V1 before they could make a decision.
When I heard his voice saying “CONTINUE” and “ROTATE” I felt the captain was fully in charge. It’s my impression he already had a plan all the way through and conscience to manage the F/O. He didn’t rush to take control in a situation so critical. Many would have rushed the take over. He lets the F/O complete the take off. He makes sure that never there is a moment of misunderstanding or conflict with the F/O. Landing the plane with the 42 extra tons of fuel and only suffer deflated tires...
The first officer was just as cool as the captain. I think the captain knew this and like you said,already had his brain in full overdrive assesing his options.
I commend this captain for continuing at V1, if he had decided to abort, there would have been total disaster. I don't think I would have been as cool and collected as this Captain. Wow, kudos all around!
One of the best airline emergencies I have ever viewed. If what the Cockpit Recorder capture is true, this Captain should be promoted to Colonel, if that is a rank in commercial airlines. So cool under fire, so sure of his actions, I can't laud him enough. Saving all those lives with his careful planning, including which runway to land as per wind direction, holly Toledo!
@Abundant Places If not already suggested, If he HAD stopped the take off, he would have a fire burning around all that fuel during an evacuation for sure. Whereas taking off, though the landing safely would still be unknown, there was a chance the fire would be extinguished and they could just circle to burn off fuel to make a lighter landing. They had committed to landing WITH a burning engine still but the heat/flames away from the cabin - though eventually the fire extinguished itself. Typically after removing the fuel flow, the fire will die-down unless fed by a ruptured tank.
Yeah this one in the Southwest Airlines one where the engine blows up on that 737 and tears a hole in the side of the plane are the two most professional Pilots I've ever seen can't help but mention the guy that landed on the Hudson to though but this guy had this plane absolutely a great job
"Is this all-right with you?" by the KLM captain could have avoided the Tenerife disaster of 1977. The concept of Crew Resource Management (CRM) arose from that crash. CRM demands democratic interactions between crew members.
well he is a former Frecce Tricolori pilot leader, the Italian version of the blue angels or thunderbirds. aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force
I have watched dozens and dozens of these videos and I have to say that this is the best captain I have ever seen. He was constantly both keeping his copilot calm and also asking for his input to verify everything was correct.
I don’t recall that I have ever seen a single video where the captain did this. How many times have we seen an arrogant captain send the plane and its occupants to its doom.
I don’t have enough words to use to express my admiration of this captain.
The best part is the evacuation.He didn't demand that ground emergency cars check for the fire,nor he waited to burn fuel.Since I use to work as a flight attendant,I always thought this is waste of time.Any signs of fire or smoke I think the instructions should be fairly simple,just land immediatly anywhere possible,and evacute immediatly,and ask questions later
exactly
well he is a former Frecce Tricolori pilot leader, the Italian version of the blue angels or thunderbirds. aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. So he should have that training down
I must comment that, after 16 years of Air Traffic Control, the Captain on this flight was the coolest I have ever heard,no sound oif fear or panic, straight up with his co pilot, he must have been an ex Airforce Pilot, his landing at over max weight was tremendous. Noit many guys like this one, I trust his company rewarded hiss coolness and skills. and his check out with his co pilot.Brilliant.
I guess there was United 232, but that did end with 111 fatalities, but that captain also was a great cocpit leader.
The captain deciding to land on a different runway because the wind was favorable to keep smoke away from the cabin...WOW. Just...wow!!! What a pilot!
@@GhostWatcher2024 What are you talking about ??? 34 is nearly north, they had 8 knots wind from 270, this is westwind. If the aircraft is heading to north, he will have wind from the left. The fire on engine 2 (right hand) will be blown to the right, away from the fuselage.
@@danijuggernaut aircraft doesn't "feel" the wind as it travels within the air mass. The fire would only be moved by gusts, not by the general, steady, component of the wind. The only time the wind would affect the flames is immediately prior to touchdown (during the slipping phase of the approach) and once on the ground.
@@alk672 You´re talking bullshit, engine burning flames can blow to the fuselage standing on the ground and burn down the aircraft. That happens allready in aviation history with a Boeing 737-200 from Britidh Airtour in Manchester 1985. You just have no idea, all this wind direction issue is because of the aircraft evacuation in static position on the ground. Right engine flames with westwind, the flames will be blow away the fuselage.
@@GhostWatcher2024 You should start with flight simulators. You have some potential. I started 3 years ago and now I am proud to say I would be able to do a full flight in a real aircraft. I even know how to deal with emergency situations like this one. Learned from the best, learned by real books, a lot of practice on most realistic aircraft addons like PMDG, FSLabs, Majestic. Next year starting with my flight school
That's what the pilot in the Manchester 737 disaster failed to take into account. The flames from the engine consumed the cabin and the rest is well known.

This was a textbook case of proper crew management. Both pilots did a superb job of calling back each instruction, the captain kept his F/O cool and then calmly asked him to look around, "Did we miss anything". Just an incredibly professional job. The captain even had time for a small joke, [beep beep beep] _"What is this?..."_ *[Bank Angle]* _"We don't care about the 'bank angle'"._

Richard Martin Wasn’t he able to abort takeoff and chose not to to go fuck around and be a hero
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 I'm not a pilot, but the the explosion occurred 4 knots before V1 while they were still accelerating. I don't think they had enough time to abort when they were right at the cusp of takeoff. I think the captain made the right decision to continue with the takeoff and try landing rather than potentially running off the runway with an active fire that could have ignited the rest of their fuel.
Gerardo Alvarado That is incorrect also the v1 is part of an envelope it’s not the red line. What do you have as a pilot that isn’t well trained and wasn’t able to make the decision when he had to so I’m thankful everyone was safe and he didn’t crash into a bunch of residential homes causing millions and damage and lots of lives lost
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 I actually just looked up the pilot, Maurizio Guzzetti. He has a Ted talk posted on UA-cam where he explains his decision. It starts at the 6 minute mark. Essentially he only had about a third of a second to make the decision to continue or abort the takeoff. He states that if he had followed with the proper procedures, the wind would have blown the fire into the fuselage while he was slowing down to a stop and people would have died. Obviously we cannot say that for sure. There was still a lot of luck involved, but his actions after making the decision in a life-or-death situation was very impressive and should be commended.
Gerardo Alvarado I’m glad no lives were lost he had much longer than 1/3 of a second but not everyone is a captain
The way he had the wit to calmly say *"we don't care about the bank angle"* in a time like this makes him the most badass pilot to ever soar the skies
The plane didn’t know it yet that one of its engines was on fire 🤣 The bank angle was necessary to maneuver the plane to land.
AND ALSO A TOTAL IDIOT. THE BANK ANGLE WILL STALL THE ENGINES IF NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH. ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE ADDED WEIGHT.
So the guy brings a plane with a burning engine safely into land. And the lives of all on board are saved! As well as the plane! Mmm... That is pretty well the perfect outcome to such an emergency isn't it!? Or am i missing something!!? And yet apparently. He is a total idiot! Ok! - Got it! - Then i guess, that's the kind of total idiot i want to fly with!
@@davidtaylor351 He glossed over the bank angle as if it wasn’t important, it was.
If you mean the pilots comment about the bank angle. I take his comment in context! Yes it is important!! And he was aware of it. But it wasn't of immediate moment! He would deal with it in quick order! Hence the comment! It was part of a series of maneuvers he undertook to deal with an emergency! And there were calculated risks involved! That can happen in life! You are in danger and have to make quick decisions! And there aren't any totally risk free options before you! You have to quickly calculate the odds. - Decide! - And act!! Or you dont!!

I like how he kept asking the FO for input. He KNOWS that he might not see everything and values the input. And FO keeps up with it's all right. And he goes through checklists quickly and efficiently. Finally, wit ha massive overweight, he babies that bird onto the runway with the smoothness he would handle the most delicate surgery. Bravo.
Excellent example of CRM.
I like that through the stress, the captain kept asking if certain instructions were ok with the first officer. I know they have to, but for the captain to keep his head and remembered it all is quite amazing. Great channel. Best flight channel on the web!!
Yup and right before landing he urged the officer to actually look around for anything amiss before agreeing.
And that’s why he’s the aircraft commander. Experience and being cool under pressure will save lives.
Overall great job by a competent crew. He sounded a little like he was yelling at his F/O due to stress, but I think that's just how Italian people talk normally.
@@johns8364 Grew up with one parent from Italy, can confirm!
Captain needed all the help he could get, to stay safe, and make sure he got it from FO. I don’t think asking “you ok” was meant to be an insult. More like keep your eyes open and let me know what you see. Really nice CRM. Do you think he hand flew the approach? Didn’t hear anything about autopilot. Folks owe their lives to these guys. Really liked him remembering the check list and involving co pilot in process. Dude flew the plane instead of losing his head.
Pilot is an absolute legend. I hope he got commended for this.
@Geary
Absolutely! Your comment rocks! The pilot truly *is* a legend. I have so much respect for this man it almost brings tears to my eyes.

This man is in a different league than most everyone I must say. 🙏🏻👍🏼
@@Jane.Doe. yes, a little dust in my eye listening to his calm assuredness. Legend indeed!
I was just about to make the same comment. I know he was doing what he had been trained to do, but in the face of a real emergency adds great weighty ingredient to the mix. The Captain acted with expertise, still respectful to his First Officer but large and in charge. The First Officer responded as ordered, but was not acting as quickly as his Captain wanted. Captain had to repeatedly remind him to act "Quickly", even felt he needed to give his rationale for acting quickly.
Absolutely agree what a hero and professional!

This is the sort of video that you can watch again, just to hear the captain handle the situation calmly and like a boss.
I did just that and I only wish that he has seven kids all wanting to emulate their dad!
The captain did a fantastic job. Every decision exactly right at exactly the right time. He handled the plane and kept the copilot calm. He handled the plane and kept the passengers informed. He handled the plane and kept the tower informed. A fine pilot in every sense of the word. As usual, a great presentation from the Flight Channel.
The passenger announcement he made was very calm and direct, also. All-around great job.
When you hear the term CRM Crew Resource Management, it basically means that the flight crew was keeping each other informed and respecting each person's input. This captain and his F/O are a textbook example of how it should be done. Flight trainers should use this flight in a simulator, but with the flight crew's audio so the pilots can see how it should be done.
@@BillinHungary concur totally.
You know your captain is good when he has done all that the co-captain calls out and THEN the captain says....DID I MISS ANYTHING....Man, this crew was working beyond professional in a DIRE situation.

Mike Foehr we have no time to waste* pure professionalism. He did everything so quick and accurate. The way he communicate and work with the co pilot is just perfect
Agree 100%.
It's always refreshing to watch a professional crew do everything perfectly when so many of these incidents leave us wondering if the pilots forgot how to fly.
That is why they didnt crash, they are communicating well with each other, unlike other airlines pilot and co pilot, theres some "HEIRARCHY" attitudes, so the ending is that they crash their airplane...
That was the epitome of CRM. Great job for both pilots
The best part about how the pilot handled the situation was when he, without any hesitation, told the F/O to continue the take off in a very calm voice. He knew exactly what they had to do and he pulled it off perfectly. No panic, pure professionalism.

Great CRM (Crew Resource Management). Collaboration, pooling information resources, touching base with fellow officers to collect relevant information. A model for how it should be done in a crisis.
The captain was the difference between crashing and landing it safely. He did so many things perfectly in a very short time. A true professional.
He said in an interview he had about 1/3 of a second to decide and said if he stopped (which he could have) people would have died. He took the high road and it worked!

This is when I wish they would just abort and go back. It was before V1 so they could have stopped.
@@ih82r8 there was no time to abort…
Yes, that decision was split second and it was the wisest one. A scary situation but the captain stepped up and earned his salary. Note - as soon as the engine fire was discovered, he took control of the aircraft from the first officer immediately. You need leadership in a crisis and in a captain - this man provided it, and proved himself worthy of his title.

I am stunned at how composed he sounded. Taking the time to provide instructions to the first officer as well and asking for his input. A lot of crashes happen just because the rest of the crew is too intimidated by a captain and failed to step in and correct their mistakes.
HIs commands to the first officer were exact in what he wanted for the plane. He showed pure confidence in his ability and experience.
Yes, this captain was great. He wanted to double check with F/O to make sure of errors. This is how you do it I reckon.
Or the opposite happens and a lazy captain puts a much less experienced co-pilot in charge of the controls - and doesn't immediately take over and take charge, when a crisis unfolds. That too can cause tragedy, as in the Air France disaster of 2009.
Note - as soon as the fire was discovered, this captain announced he was taking over from the F/O and immediately assumed full responsibility at the controls. Respect to him. That's what you call earning your salary!
CRM at its best 👌👏
"We don't care about the bank angle." That cool response is significant to see how good this Captain really is because it's an acknowledgment to himself and the crew of the warning, at the very least. How many crashes have we heard and seen where the "low terrain" or "pull up" warning wasn't even acknowledged? Even if you think it's wrong, at least copy it.

There might be a little error in this video, fuel dumping system is optional on B767s but I have seen an interview with the capitain of this flight, a former Italian fighter jet pilot of Frecce Tricolori, and he didn't say this plane couldn't dump the fuel, he said the reason why they didn't dump the fuel was because you should never dump fuel with an engine on fire because the fire would ignite the fuel and the plane would turn into a fireball, it's a safety procedure.
Ex-military pilots are just wonderful. I've watched dozens of close plane crash calls, and ex-military pilots seem to be so cool and can handle emergencies easily.
I wondered that too. I see now way they would dump fuel unless they were absolutely confident there were no flames. Also, I wonder how many planes have attempted to land above max landing weight and had structural damage or “fell apart”? I imagine there is a certain type of way to land under these conditions but curious what the success rate is.
Can someone explain why there would be a modern jet were fuel dumping wasnt part of the design of the aircraft? I mean, it makes sense why this captain didnt due to fire risk, but it seems weird for certain models of plane to not include fuel dumping in the design.

OK, who here was hoping to here more about the Pilot. He was calm throughout, thought about the fire and impacts on the cabin choosing a landing where wind would blow any fire away from the cabin, and kept directing the First Officer throughout the process. He even knew enough about the aircraft to take a sharper than normal bank, "We don't care about the bank angle", to get back to the airport quicker, as he understood the aircrafts abilities and how the warnings apparently worked (always a safety factor).

This video gave me anxiety but im super impressed with how the captain acted during the whole flight. I was sitting and hoping that they would land safely and I'm super happy with how it turned out.
Not only did the captain act extremely calm and professionally but he also supported his first officer and stayed calm, double checking everything and I would be honered to fly with a captain like that.
Listen, bank angle warning, if a loud explosion didn't freak this guy out, then neither will you.
Of course! After that explosion he says "continue" .
The Captain was brilliant in all his actions, landing a Plane That Was Overweight and with an engine fire, yet he stayed on top of his game even down to what runway he wanted to aid passenger safety and evacuation...287 passenger owe this guy a beer.. (while he is off duty of course). As usual great video from Flight Channel.
I was very impressed by the Captain and F/O professionalism. These two are an example of perfect training and experience. I hope the aviation industries recognizes both pilots for their outstanding coolness under emergency conditions. There was total cockpit communications, clear and distinct information. Knowledge of wind direction as per runway. Complete command of an emergency situation. No airline could ask for a most outstanding cockpit crew. Unlike other emergencies where the cockpit crew under normal conditions fucked up and crashed. Everyone should take notice of how these two handled this situation.
I want that crew operating all my flights.
i know , look up a fire on a tristar in saudi arabia in the 70s , the plane landed and taxied and they all died. all due to pilot stupidity.
Yep saw that video, made my stomach turn. I believe that was the plane where the ground fire crew did not know how to open the doors, had never had the training, only on paper. Furthermore, the cabin crew kept asking for evacuation orders. During my Air Force days, we practiced emergency conditions on a constant basis. Our commander taught us that flights are never routine, and we should treat everyone of them as emergency situations, and they paid off. Saving lives and equipment.
Captain comes from the 313º Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, and doesn’t surprise me the fact about how cool he is (Italians sounds always pissed off or nervous when they talk but he is very collected and sure about his words)... great that they both communicated and operated so good together. I wish I could fly with that crew.
The Captain was in total control. Absolutely incredible.
The amount of sass when the bank angle warning comes on😂 “we don’t care about the bank angle”😂
😂😂😂
That was total badass. Respect.
And the part where he confidently said "continue" after the loud boom. So close to V1 and being so heavy, it was the right choice made, to continue on rather than trying to abort take-off.
@@yleenda I definitely agree they made the right decision because they are good pilots. I just love the amount of sass he used😂
kinda awkward to hear him say that, cause it can lead to stall if bank angle exceeds a certain maximum but he obviously held it in range other than that he did great and crm seemd to worked just as supposed to
The captain and the first officer did a great job ! They need acknowledgement and appreciation
This was textbook CRM. After saying he wanted to land with flaps at 20, the pilot even asked the first officer, "Are you OK? Are you all right with me?" to make sure he wasn't about to do something stupid.
@@scottlarson1548 balls of steel those pilots. Like they've done it a thousand times. Great Job guys!
@@yeags1383 Actually it was exactly the opposite. They did it like they had *never* done it before which was good because they hadn't. That's why they had each other check each other's decisions and work as a team instead of comparing the sizes of their steel balls.
Yep, did a great job ignoring a massive explosion and plane shake PRIOR to V1 and continue to roll and take off.
datsuntoyy I thought about that, but it’s possible the captain thought they were already too close to V1 and quickly running out of pavement.
That’s captain did a stellar job. He was so worried about his co-pilot because I’m sure he saw the look on the guys face. Amazing job, landing the aircraft with that much weight and so much at risk. Btw this channel is top of the line, love it 😊
He wasn't worry about co-pilot. He was worry about himself to not miss something. That's why he ask first officer to say if something wrong. It's all bout CRM (Crew resource management).
_The term "cockpit resource management" (later generalized to "crew resource management") was coined in 1979 by NASA psychologist John Lauber who had studied communication processes in cockpits for several years. While retaining a command hierarchy, the concept was intended to foster a less authoritarian cockpit culture, where co-pilots were encouraged to question captains if they observed them making mistakes._
He's one bad ass Captain. Cool but tough. God Bliss Him.
Gotta give the FO credit too
I'd like to see more of these on The Flight Channel: Cases where the crew handled everything right and prevented a disaster.
What a pilot, he took control and his leadership skills saved lives
I've watched other videos of this flight. This Pilot? Is, quite literally, a "Pilots, Pilot". This was a heroic job- to include being calm enough to ask his FO if HE was ok, besides relating required information, AND, above all else? KNOWING that the fire was still burning, the importance of this cannot be stressed enough, as there are a few other stories, that didn't end this way, and ended with passengers burning alive, because the pilot did NOT consider, as this one did, under immense pressure, the WIND DIRECTION, for when he landed.
What he did, was keep any fire that might still have been roaring? AWAY from the passenger area.
100% HEROIC, all around, for ALL of the flight crew- but especially for this Captain, who I'd put right up with there Sully, any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
Rick Totally agree!!
Rick Rickard I totally agree with this as well. Yet, there’s still people that say he made the wrong choice and should have acted differently. It’s unbelievable. This flight recording should be shown in training sessions for new pilots as I’m sure it would stick with them.
I would like to add Al Haynes to this list, if i may.
@@Timberella3003 Incredible pilot, did all he could do
The quick thinking crew was ready for an emergency like this. Great calls from continuing the take off, landing on a runway that kept the wind away from the cabin to flaps 20 instead of full flaps. Hats off to the captain, f/o and airline for such thorough training. Ladies and gentlemen that’s how it’s done.
A true example of professional competence and good teamwork under pressure. Great video with a good outcome.
I can't get over the sheer flawlessness of this emergency landing. That's one captain I'd fly with anywhere. Pure cool under pressure.
"This is your captain speaking, please disregard the bank angle warning and prepare for an emergency landing. I'll be waiting in the lounge afterwards for all of you buying me a beer."
I have to agree with previous comments. This pilot and crew deserve medals. This film should be shown in every flight school for commercial pilots. Amazing.
The most hard core thing about this guy was not the bank angle, it was continuing take off before V1. Didn't hesitate, figure it all out instantly, made a decision, off they went.
4kts before V1, as he says in an interview he would have never had the time to stop without casualties. Nerves of steel! Pretty hardcore :)
@John Lorton Unfortunately I'm not a pilot, but I've heard it from the man itself who explained everything in a long and super interesting interview. But if you look at a 737 takeoff video, you can see that a 737 takes approximately 13 seconds to accelerate from 80 to 145 kts (approx v1), which is 4.6 kts per second. This means that you have less than a second from 141 to 145 kts to take the decision.
Basically he heard the bang, looked at the speed, said "continue", and he was already at or above v1. Had he decided to cancel the takeoff, he would have been in a very narrow spot, without the certainty of stopping, and even if he managed to stop he had the additional risk of fuel and fire causing an explosion. As he said in the interview, "modern airplanes are safer in the sky than on the ground".
@John Lorton Yes, but unfortunately it's in Italian only. watch?v=jW093zfHKGY
@John Lorton Not an aircraft designer but I think airplane engines are designed to stay on for safety reasons. For it to detach and sever all the different hydraulic lines is a design fault.
At V1 you have to take off no matter what. That's a rule every pilot knows. However many pilots have taken the opposite decision in the past often leading to a catastrophic outcome.
That captain was INCREDIBLE!!! Talk about absolute leadership, and grace under pressure. He showed care and concern for everyone and kept them calm while using his excellent knowledge of flying the aircraft. Wow!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
No matter who you are
That captain is cooler than you.
AMZING CAPTAIN!
You look up the word "cool" in the dictionary, this guy's picture is there...
Violets are not blue, they're... violet.
@@rmm3803 FFS lighten up, ya Choad, they are rhyming
I feel offended
Nah jk I totally agree gotta love that guy
Those magic words are music to my ears. ‘Everyone Survived”.
with no injuries!
Everyone survived because there was a magnificient pilot!
captain: what is this?
airplane: bank angle.
captain: we dont care about the bank angle
LMFAO the way it sounded like an exchange between him and the plane computer is taking me out 😭
This captain is Kimi Raikonnen as an airplane pilot!
The plane computer doesn’t understand human behavior
@@Tempusverum Never argue with the computer, you often lose. Confirm, yes. But never just override.
Sis I KNOW, he was like “are you trying to sass me bitch?” I’m sent 💀💀
Robert Olin business day
That captain was cool, calm, collected, and obviously a very skilled operator, from the moment after the explosion when he simply tells the copilot "continue", to the badass touchdown. Another everyday hero.
The best pilots I ever seen in the situation like this, the captain is the best, always asking a first officer, "Are you ok with this? They're the best
OMG...that captain is a marvel. I know they're trained, but to remain so calm, AND STILL CHECK ON YOUR CO-PILOT, with no hint of fear, just leaves me in awe. While the captain took control, you have to give points to the co-pilot. He followed the captain's instructions and helped get the plane down safely. It's not easy to be in this situation, and I pray I never am, but the crew handled it with grace.
I have worked as both a Flight Attendant and nurse (US RN). This PIC runs his emergency like a doctor who is in full control of his cockpit/code blue. No wonder hospitals adapted CRM (Crew Resource Management) from the airline industry! Such impressive work from the PIC and FO and cabin crew.
I just wanted to add that not only was the pilot absolutely legendary, but the F.O. was actually doing a great job under pressure as well. Solid teamwork and hats off to both of them.
Hats off to the cockpit crew well ✔. Its so nice to hear that crm was being utilized. The captain reassuring his first officer. Thankfully they were able to land on alternate runway, being overweight as well. The captain decided with an engine fire, still burning even though they did pull the fire bottles. It seems when they were approaching landing, the engine fire extinguished itself. Well done all involved !!
I wish that captain could pilot every flight I have to make, what a true professional !
Nice to see him being interviewed here: watch?v=jW093zfHKGY
I agreed with you,it was wonderful but don't forget that people more than him have died as a result of similar cases so let's acknowledge God as well.
"We don't care about the bank angle"
I died
OMG! There have been so many deadly airplane accidents depicted in this channel that were caused by excessive bank angle and this pilot says "shut up" and lands the heavy plane safely!
TRUE SAVAGE!
This is the first of your recent videos that I have seen. Excellent. You have improved on a very good starting standard over time. The captioned commentary is definitely better. The actual audio is great. I hope you will be able to get this in some future videos.
Proud to support this channel even if only in a small way at the moment.
Kjh
That’s a pilot that has studied his craft. Knew his surroundings, knew his plane, knew what he could do and remained calm.
Outstanding video, I loved every part of it the intro especially and the explanation with all the effects and music it makes me fill like I'm in a movie. I appreciate all the hard work you put on this fabulous video. Amazing season can't wait for the next one! :eyes:
Thanks man, I really appreciate 😊😊
I second this. Well "shot", edited and explained. Hats off!
He is a hero.Respect all cabin crews from Turkey😌😌
I just found out that the captain used to fly fighter jets for NATO and also the Italian acrobatic fleet of the Frecce Tricolori. No wonder he has nerves of steel
When you fly the envelope on different aircraft you know what your aircraft can do....he was very experienced.....the bank angle comment was no big deal.....just a verbal confirmation to his FO.
Airplane: BOOOM!
Captain: CONTINUE.
It is more dangerous to try to stop the aircraft after V1 than flying with one engine.
@@EntoSanto most especially being that HEAVY
That's what v1 is for...
also than flying with one burning engine? why
@@terencehill3972 yes. When you reach V1, you are going too fast to stop the plane before the runway ends. V1 wolud be the "point of no return". If you try to abort a takeoff after reaching V1 speed, you'll crash, and maybe, die. So yes, it's way safer to take off with an engine on fire and a flight attendant screaming.
Haven’t flown in 6 years because of fear of flying. If this pilot was on every flight I would get on without fear.
I feel this sooooooo much, im so terrified now
Nothing to be ashamed of dude, airlines & manufacturers are the fucking worst when it comes to looking the other way for safety checks to save a dollar. Now that the 737-Max is back out there again my ass is going to be scanning every single plane I ever get on now. It just sucks these assholes don't give a shit about their customers at all.
Know that being in a car is SO much more dangerous than being in a commericial airliner
@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 right. I mean airlines love losing 100 million dollar aircrafts.
And well you should
The fact that captain knew exactly which page to go to in vref manual in times of such emergency is simply amazing
The pilot was a Boss cool customer. The passengers were lucky to have him in the cockpit.
I’ve seen lots of these videos, hands down the most badass pilot ive watched! His co-pilot seemed to be shutting down a little maybe and he was just coaching him through it. Give this guy a medal!
First Officer was sh!tting in his pants. Captain was reassuring him so many times. Hatsoff to the 4 strips.
I personally was getting annoyed at the captain for stressing the first officer out by telling him to do everything quickly.
The captain was at fault. The captain decided to continue takeoff even after the explosion and before V1. That is a big no no in commercial aviation.
@@josephpak4277 I agree. If he had rejected the takeoff as soon as he heard the explosion and literally stood on the brakes, he would have been able to either bring the aeroplane to a full stop on the runway or at worst have a minor overrun. The takeoff was simply unnecessary.
Samuel's Simulations hasn’t there been cases were the plane aborts before v1 and it overruns the runway just to crash? Especially with so much fuel in this case, it would have been bad
Samuel's Simulations you could also say this in Sully’s situation, when he lost both engines after take off. If he immediately turned back towards La Guardia, he would’ve made the airport, but he didn’t. Want to know why? Because the human needs time to understand what’s going on. I’m sure in this case, the crew had too little time to make the decision to abort the take off. They already reached V1 before they could make a decision.
When I heard his voice saying “CONTINUE” and “ROTATE” I felt the captain was fully in charge. It’s my impression he already had a plan all the way through and conscience to manage the F/O.
He didn’t rush to take control in a situation so critical. Many would have rushed the take over. He lets the F/O complete the take off.
He makes sure that never there is a moment of misunderstanding or conflict with the F/O.
Landing the plane with the 42 extra tons of fuel and only suffer deflated tires...
The first officer was just as cool as the captain. I think the captain knew this and like you said,already had his brain in full overdrive assesing his options.
I commend this captain for continuing at V1, if he had decided to abort, there would have been total disaster. I don't think I would have been as cool and collected as this Captain. Wow, kudos all around!
One of the best airline emergencies I have ever viewed. If what the Cockpit Recorder capture is true, this Captain should be promoted to Colonel, if that is a rank in commercial airlines. So cool under fire, so sure of his actions, I can't laud him enough. Saving all those lives with his careful planning, including which runway to land as per wind direction, holly Toledo!
@Abundant Places If not already suggested, If he HAD stopped the take off, he would have a fire burning around all that fuel during an evacuation for sure. Whereas taking off, though the landing safely would still be unknown, there was a chance the fire would be extinguished and they could just circle to burn off fuel to make a lighter landing. They had committed to landing WITH a burning engine still but the heat/flames away from the cabin - though eventually the fire extinguished itself. Typically after removing the fuel flow, the fire will die-down unless fed by a ruptured tank.
Yeah this one in the Southwest Airlines one where the engine blows up on that 737 and tears a hole in the side of the plane are the two most professional Pilots I've ever seen can't help but mention the guy that landed on the Hudson to though but this guy had this plane absolutely a great job
he's like a flying school instructor He's so calm
"Is this all-right with you?" by the KLM captain could have avoided the Tenerife disaster of 1977. The concept of Crew Resource Management (CRM) arose from that crash. CRM demands democratic interactions between crew members.
I know if the pilot gave importance to his co pilot opinion, things could have been different.
Yep.
The KLM dude was an arrogant SO, you know what.
Yeah that co pilot asked if the Pan Am was clear and pilot didn't want to have to abort
that is a real competent Captain, his first responsibility is the safety and the lives of his passengers.
He did an outstanding job.
Cap to FO:"are you okay?everting's okay with you?".....
RESPECT
**DING DING DING**
Captain: “What is this..”
Autopilot: “Bank Angle”
Captain: “AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA- Who the hell cares..”
"Are you okay? Everthing's okay with you?" lol
I can hear "me ne frego" (italian for "I don't care") in that moment
@@elipulci5761 cit Achille Lauro
well he is a former Frecce Tricolori pilot leader, the Italian version of the blue angels or thunderbirds. aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force
Even after the explosion, he is still very calm and knows what to do. What a legend
