    The short version is that the Captain applied reverse thrust before the nose wheel touched down. The left engine initially went into full reverse faster than the right engine, causing the aircraft to start veering left (no nose wheel steering to counteract this with the nose still in the air). The Captain also applied much more reverse thrust than recommended, reaching an EPR of roughly 2.0 on a landing where a target reverse thrust of 1.3 EPR is the recommended value. The aircraft also experienced "rudder blanking" due to the excessive EPR, which caused the rudder to have reduced effect.
    During the landing the First Officer can be heard on the CVR saying: "out of reverse", "come out of reverse", "*come out of reverse*!". The FO stated that he suspected rudder blanking.

      Yeah, remember the water main break there that kept one terminal down for a few days. I think that was last fall. I was forced to fly through there on a connection last winter, and just knew I was gonna have to take the f'g shuttle in freezing cold weather. Then you have to walk up a steep flight of stairs to get to the next terminal. I know it was built during the prop plane days, but this is the largest metro city in the US. No excuse for the cluster that is La Guardia, and I place a lot of blame on unions for the mess.

      @@mwash5779 the MD-80 has bucket reversers mounted on the tail.
      From what I read, it seems that there is an EPR (engine pressure ratio) limitation on the amount of reverse thrust that can be used on a contaminated runway.
      This is most applicable to aircraft with tail-mounted engines since the use of more reverse thrust would cause more of an airflow disturbance upstream of the rudder; making the rudder way less effective.
      And of course, a contaminated runway is when the rudder is needed the most to maintain center-line since the braking action/nose wheel steering is diminished.

    They got into action as soon as they knew what happened. I don't know why people are giving them a hard time. They didn't know what had happened at first and they didn't want to assume the worst because everything was ok just a second ago. I think we can all agree when I say this could have been a lot worse and it's not like ATC just left them out there and told them hate to be you right now.

    Delta Air Lines Flight 1086 was a scheduled Delta Air Lines domestic passenger flight between Atlanta and New York's LaGuardia Airport. On March 5, 2015, the McDonnell Douglas MD-88 (not MD-80) aircraft veered off the runway shortly after landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. The plane ran up the seawall berm and struck the perimeter fence, sliding along it for approximately 940 feet (290 m) before coming to rest with the nose of the aircraft hanging over the berm above Flushing Bay. There were no fatalities, although 24 people suffered minor injuries. The aircraft was seriously damaged. The final report by the NTSB found the probable cause of the accident was the pilot's "inability to maintain directional control of the airplane due to his application of excessive reverse thrust, which degraded the effectiveness of the rudder in controlling the airplane’s heading."

      Actually watching and understanding the video (particularly the reports of RVR and braking conditions) would quickly reveal that the conditions at La Guardia that day were clearly hard IMC. If they're reporting braking action they've either got heavy rain or, more likely for the time of year in New York, snow. If they're reporting RVR then visibility is already guaranteed less than a mile, and given the two RVRs were different by 2000 ft it was probably rapidly changing just over the length of the runway.
      Of course the Tower controller would be able to see if the weather is good. That's why the tower controllers have glass windows and aren't put in a bunker. This guy obviously couldn't, and was relying on pilot reports to tell whether aircraft successfully vacated. Cameras, for the exact same reasons, probably wouldn't help much either.

      I'm not familiar with La Guardia but as an ATC I can tell you that we can have a lot of trouble receiving communications from ground vehicles. If the diesel engine's running, the vehicle's moving, and the guy(s) driving it have a window open it can be the next thing to impossible. Even at full noise, e.g. take-off, a cockpit is a relatively quiet environment so transmissions come through much more cleanly. Ground vehicles not so much.
      That being said, I'm not familiar with this airport or this particular situation. All I'm saying is sometimes it can be hard to hear transmissions from ground vehicles.

    Airline crews are some impressive people, whether they’re working in the cockpit or the cabins. But the airport ground crews and ATCs are no less impressive. All of these incredibly complex systems involved in commercial flight-and each component of those systems are also complex systems, among them human beings-and this is going on across the world 24/7. Given all of this, it’s still a remarkably safe way to travel, far, far safer than the drive you have to take to _get_ to the airport. Thank you to all those involved.

    The aircraft touched down at 11:02 am with the main landing gear close to the runway centerline. The MD-88 veered off the left side of the runway shortly after touchdown, about 3,000 feet (910 m) from the approach end of the runway, on a heading approximately 10 degrees left of the runway heading. The MD-88 skidded left across the snowy airfield until about 4,100 feet (1,200 m) from the approach end of the runway, when the aircraft ran up the berm and the left wing struck the airport perimeter fence. It then was forced back onto a heading parallel with runway 13, and continued sliding in this direction for another 900 feet (270 m) along the perimeter fence, before coming to rest about 5,000 feet (1,500 m) from the approach end of runway 13, with the nose of the aircraft hanging over the berm. The left wing of the aircraft destroyed approximately 940 feet (290 m) of airport perimeter fence. The aircraft sustained significant structural damage. There was major damage to the left wing's leading edge, leading edge slats, trailing edge flaps, and spoilers. The left wing fuel tank was breached near the outboard end of the outboard flaps. The front radome and weather radar were heavily damaged, and damage to the underside of the fuselage extended from the front of the aircraft all the way back to the left front passenger door. The nose landing gear well and the main electronics bay also were damaged. Delta subsequently declared the aircraft a hull loss, making the accident the 37th hull loss of a McDonnell Douglas MD-80.

      Just based on what you're hearing isn't everything that happened in the world of that Tower controller at the time. They know a lot more than you think they do, regardless of how it sounds. Also, @WeedWhacker2010 and @Zac Young were correct that it takes time to notice, and that visual check of a landing aircraft may not have been a priority at the time, as spotting crashed aircraft is not the primary function of a Tower Controller.
      Also, you need to understand all that the Tower Controller was telling approaching/departing aircraft. It would give you clues as to whether or not the Tower could even see the event.
      Tower Controller and Ground Controllers perform different functions. In this clip, we hear both Tower Traffic and Ground Traffic. There are multiple ways for you to communicate with each of those controllers to pass necessary information. Just because information was passed doesn't mean that you'll hear it on frequency. Most of that information will be kept off frequency, specifically so that "Tower" and "Ground" can direct traffic. Directing traffic is their primary function.
      The frequencies you're hearing are specifically to direct traffic, not pass other information not relevant to direction of traffic on airport taxiways ("Ground"), or direct approaching air traffic or holding departing traffict ("Tower").
      Give ATC a break. They have a more difficult job than you think. After you've walked a mile in their shoes, maybe then people can lay credence to your comment.

As in, there's major shit happening here, everybody STOP! Due to the poor audio quality and the chaotic nature of the event, ATC doesn't get the urgency of the statement. "Runway 13 is closed?" As in, he doesn't get it. A bit later, he doesn't get it again. "Runway 13 is closed?" ATC seemed rather slow on the uptake to me during this incident.

      All the departures were taxiing from the terminal to RY04. Departing aircraft would have never been near the runway excursion, nor would they have even faced it. The previous arriving aircraft is not in this video, so it's safe to assume he was already clear of the area as well. So there's no one to see it.
      As for where the communication between local and ground are, that's not happening on the radio, so the ATC feed that recorded this could not have heard it. Likewise any communication between the tower (any position) and the airport operations or emergency services.

      staff are trained to deal with emergencies using Simulations so they know how to deal with it.

    Car 100 seems to be the only one with their shit together. Maybe he should have been in the tower instead of Controller Clueless.

    Question from an aviation non-expert: is audio quality as bad as this in practice and if so, isn't it hard to catch all the numbers as they're speaking this fast?

    • @mattkelland3325
      @mattkelland3325 5 років тому +5

      Yes the audio is always like this but remember to pilots the numbers and calls make sense and it is easier to hear numbers when you already know what they mean. To someone that is just listening in to these conversations a lot of it is meaningless and so harder to hear without the added context

      The audio quality isn't as bad as this in practice. This audio is picked up from some enthusiast's antenna, which isn't in a place that gives great reception.

    I like how he called Delta 1999 after handing him off 2 minutes prior

    • @jamesjarrait2231
      @jamesjarrait2231 3 роки тому

      Perhaps making sure 1999 is really off frequency and being handled by departure before he starts communicating with someone else.

    According to the NTSB investigation update issued on April 2, 2015, investigators found that Delta's MD-88 pilot operational materials (manuals) contained guidance recommending that pilots limit the reverse thrust engine pressure ratio (EPR) to 1.3 when landing on "contaminated" runways, i.e., runways with increased levels of risk related to deceleration and directional control. The investigation has found that the EPR was at 1.9 at six seconds after touchdown, however, based on readout from the flight data recorder. The investigation also found that, upon landing, brake pressure increased in a manner consistent with autobrake application.
    According to a Wall Street Journal article published March 9, 2015, "Pilots and air-safety experts have long known that when the MD-88s reversers are deployed, its rudder, or large vertical tail panel intended to help turn the nose, sometimes may not be powerful enough to control left or right deviations from the center of runways.
    The final report by the NTSB found the probable cause of the accident was the pilot's "inability to maintain directional control of the airplane due to his application of excessive reverse thrust, which degraded the effectiveness of the rudder in controlling the airplane’s heading. Flight number DL1086 is no longer in us :D

    So this whole video, description and comments doesn't clear up for me why the MD-80 crashed. Did the pilot sneeze and steer off the runway or what?

    I assume "we got a 3-4" means an aircraft has gone off the runway?

  • @Progamer1013
    @Progamer1013 3 роки тому +1

    Is there any protocol if an aircraft does not respond after multiple calls from tower? I feel like after six calls for response after around 45 seconds to a minute after a supposed landing is a bit too long to not realize something is wrong. Feels like the tower should have asked for a check (from another tower or somewhere else. Maybe even radar or something idk) or something after the third call that went silent.

    • @subsoar5734
      @subsoar5734 2 роки тому

      There’s only so much when you can do when you’re the local controller and can’t physically see the aircraft in question or have them on radar. They sort of just expect that you’re either doing something particularly intensive on final/landing roll or have gone to ground without permission and the ground controller can yell at you when you come up with them. Plus, no one had said anything to the local controller about this accident, despite the fact that I’m like 99% sure the ground guy knew because you can hear him go “holy shit!” at 3:15

  • @rvnmedic1968

    Why no information in the description? This was not up to par with your usual videos. Question: why couldn't the tower see the 31 approach end with the plane off the runway? Too many questions on this one.

    This business is about visibility, sometimes the tower can't see the runway! Even thought it's still above minimums for pilots to land! It's takes teamwork and precision on everyone's part to keep the opera in play! When you don't exit the runway (delta) and don't tell them (TWR), the play comes to a halt!
