All these shady channels with their superiority complexes and holier-than-thou attitudes should take note.

    Most people have heard of the "flight or fight" response. But there's actually a third component: "freeze." A significant percentage of people will just freeze up in emergency situations and not take any immediate action at all. This is why, in my opinion, ongoing training is so important!

    • @DaedalusYoung
      @DaedalusYoung 2 роки тому +37

      That's happened to me. I once saw someone not paying attention and almost walking in front of an oncoming tram. I completely froze up, couldn't do anything. Luckily at the very last second, they noticed the tram ringing its bells and just barely avoided getting hit.

    • @chriscakevillage7707
      @chriscakevillage7707 2 роки тому +50

      there is also the theory that the subconciousness does not understand negation, like 'not into the tree! not into the tree!' which makes for example paragliding pilots hit the lonely tree in the middle of the field - because they focused on the tree by 'not wanting to hit it'. happens more often than one'd think... and yes, training is the only cure.

    • @oceaneo4603
      @oceaneo4603 2 роки тому +6

      True, but I don't know if ongoing training will solve this. You never know how you're gonna react until you're in that situation.

    • @carnotan
      @carnotan 2 роки тому +13

      Sadly, in many emergencies (at least those on route on modern commercial planes) freezing is the right thing to do at least for the first seconds. It's more frequent that the pilot overcompensates and destabilizes the plane than anything bad will happen by letting the autopilot do their thing. So I would add freeze you reaction for 15 seconds, not your brain.

    • @redrb26dett
      @redrb26dett 2 роки тому +6

    Really appreciate your explanations about go arounds. Before I started watching your videos, I used to think a go around meant a near-accident (I'm a nervous flyer - I tend to assume anything unusual is dangerous). But now I know it means the pilot is making sure it's the safest/best landing possible, so that's very comforting.

    Quick note: The A380. Manchester is quite difficult as the runway first has an upslope and then a downslope. it's quite remarkable. Flew it with a A320 years ago and missed it once too.
    Upslope means, you have to just pull a liiiitle bit more than usual. But: if you miss the upslope, you are suddenly where the runway is going down and you are suddenly climbing compared to the downsloping runway....
    A380 => if you miss it, it's a Go Around for sure. That's what they did.

      I saw the first couple ofseconds of that A380 video, and immediately knew where it was - I've spent far too many hours standing in that exact spot!
      I've seen a couple of A380's float over that bump and still pull off that landing, even if they were level with the 2nd mound in the viewing park (where this video looks to have been shot from) when they touch down.
      You really need to turn up the volume on the inner engines on a landing like that, and the brakes will be a tad warm, but even if we never saw how close they came to the end of the runway (the runway disappears behind trees just a little bit further down), we still saw them taxi back past us a few minutes later.
      It's not someting I would particularly relish, even with the generous run-off area at the end of 23R - the terrain falls away rapidly immediately after that run-off areawith the river Bollin flowing through a narrow valley at the bottom.
      It's just a pity that particular viewing point no longer exists - they built a new private terminal on it, which obscures the view from the rest of the viewing park.

    • @primeprover
      @primeprover 2 роки тому +1

      Make me think that on an airport like Manchester with 2 parallel runways it could make sense to have the opposite slopes on each runway. Then one would be good for short landings and the other for short takeoffs.

    14:00 reminds me of my aunt, who was probably in her late 50s at the time, broke down in rush hour traffic. A police officer with a pushbar on his cruiser drove up behind her and told her to put the car in neutral and he’d push her to a pull-off so she could wait for a tow truck. She put it in neutral and waited and she could feel the police car pushing but she wasn’t moving. Finally, the cop got on his loudspeaker and said “Lady, you’ve gotta take your foot off the brake!”

      I've never really had an issue with flying, but what helped me be even more comfortable is watching the videos about how Boeing, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and GE torture these planes and engines in the development stages. Like how they bend the wings until they snap then learn how to make them better, or launching frozen poultry into an engine at full power and learn how to make them better. That's why accidents are so rare these days.

    In fairness to the Emirates pilots ... I was headed to Oshkosh one year, stopped mid-USA for fuel and it was pretty gusty but fortunately right down the runway ... about 15 feet before touchdown a gust pushed us pretty hard. We could actually feel it, as though someone tapped the brakes, and simultaneously the airplane ballooned up. I put in some down elevator to arrest the climb, the gust passed, and I resumed the previous landing profile. No problem for a small plane with a super long runway, but as you said, the Emirates pilots didn't have the same luxury I did and they totally did the right thing and went around. Just saying ... the possibility is that they didn't mismanage power or come in fast, this could have been an environmental factor.
    I really like your case studies, this is a great way to learn. Did you build time as an instructor?

    Several years ago I was in an airplane heading into Reno that ended up doing a go-around. As we were approaching the runway, I was looking out the window at the houses getting bigger (confession, I always love looking out the window during the whole flight if I can), and it looked like we were a little too high, then we started going up again. My guess at the time was that the approach from the north comes over a mountain and there was probably some wind speed misjudgement, but on the 2nd attempt we landed successfully.
    I've recently started watching your channel and a couple of other aviation analysis channels, and now I understand that he probably entered the stabilized approach glide slope too late and it would've been too steep too close to the ground to make up the difference, so those pilots did exactly what they were supposed to do. Everyone on the flight was wondering what happened, and only a few got nervous.

  • @Ohmsun
    @Ohmsun 2 роки тому +19

    On the last video, another thing to look at is that the tugs with carts were not stopped by the wingmen. At Amazon we use a different pushback that lifts the nose wheel and we pushback after the brakes are released. Most pushbacks like that have a lot of torque so if the brakes were engaged it would react that way. Traction is hard on pushbacks because most use slick tires.

      Every uke/tug I’ve ever used is 4x4 positive traction. All wheels would be spinning leaving marks not just one. Looks like a broken gearbox on the front right. Also at major airports traffic doesn’t stop until you can’t make it without hitting the plane. Only one watching the wing walker is the tug driver lol

    Focused paralysis. In the early 1960’s, I was a member of a small flight club. We had 2 Cessna 150’s and 1 Cessna 172. The principal of the club purchased a 120 Cessna tail dragger. Since I was the only member of the club who had tailwheel experience (I owned a Taylor Craft BC12D) I was asked to check out members who desired to use the aircraft. I was contacted by a young member for a check out.
    We met at the local airport and spent time introducing the airplane and a preflight. The member was a pvt pilot with Cessna 150 time.
    We taxied out to the run up and did the drill.
    With a little help our take off was ok. Our climb out was fine. We maneuvered to a safe area for some air work. It was now time for some landings. I talked him through our first landing and taxi back for another take off. This is where it got interesting. As he advanced the throttle the engine started to cough and spit.
    It was overwhelmingly evident that there was a problem. He had no understanding that he should abort. I stated firmly, abort. He would hear non of it. His eyes were glazed over with determination to complete the take off. At this point I took control and stopped the take off roll. I asked him if he recognized that there was a problem with the engined or heard my command to abort. He heard nothing and admitted he was totally focused on the take off. There was a disconnect between his senses causing a paralysis to take action.
    It was a no brainer, stop the take off. I am sure that with experience he was able identify serious problems.

    The USAF taught its KC-135 pilots to approach crosswind landings with a combination approach when necessary, crabbing and dipping the upwind wing. This combination allows for a reduced crab angle which is less stressful on the landing gear and requires less of a directional correction on touchdown. However there's only so far you can dip the wing before hearing scraping noises....
