It was kinda odd seeing an older MBU-12/p mask in use. What probably happened was his MBU-23/p mask was due for an inspection and he was forced to use the spare from life support.
The black hawk has points on the chopper that guid a hit wire and cut them. So if a line were to go over the nose it would go up the nose up the windshield and would be cut before it got into the rotor blades by a pinchpoint cutting device that cuts it on both sides bottom and top. I know this because I was a black hawk mechanic and crew chief in the Army. :) There is more than one point where wires can be cut if you run into them. :)
@@a914freak I thought the same until I watched in slowed speed. Look closely and you’ll see the main rotor cuts the top static/neutral wire. The three wires below that shake from the rotor wash.
My dad has been to Bhutan for his previous job as a business security advisor, he said that the approach was fighter-jet like. Paro is a crazy airport, two mountains blocking the strip. He said he’d never felt something like that on a commercial flight
Typical behavior from a pleasure craft. Majority of the time they're clueless morons who don't even have their radios on the proper channels. I'd bet money the pilot said over the radio where he was landing on the appropriate channel.
@@grahammonk8013 Jet ski and boat operator here. Yes you do need certification. At minimum a boater safety card recognized with all the states in the US. I got mine in Missouri and got another in California as I moved here. You can operate using one from another state for a short period if you aren't resident in that state. Studying the actual certification does require a brain. The boater in this video is a muppet. With terrible judgement. Don't paint all of us with the same brush.
While I'd call the boat impolite given they could wait like 10 seconds and pass behind, I wouldn't call them a muppet since technically the seaplane has to give way to them.
My parents live in the south of France, their neighbour Philippe is a test pilot for Airbus and has done the Bhutan landing numerous times recording some amazing cockpit views!
Many seem to be missing that the Blackhawk clipped only the top line, which is a little hard to spot compared to the others and happens quickly as the camera turns. It's very visible in OP's thumbnail and shows where to look.
Unless you are watching at a higher res, the line is completely invisible on screen. So a lot of viewers will not be able to see it. @720P the line is very difficult to discern on my monitor. @1080P it's clearly visible.
That's a lightning arresting wire and it is not energized. Still not something you want to hit with an aircraft as it means you are really close to the actual power lines which are much heavier. Lucky he hit with the airframe and not the rotors!
@@krokodyl1927 @ 0:31 and on rewatching it does look like it was a rotor strike that cut the wire if you pause and go frame by frame. Look at the right gear wheel at that time stamp.
There wasn’t a visible deceleration,at least not one you could judge with the human eye at this view with the depth of field of the camera,as the other guy points out you could see a yaw to the right quite obviously though.
Maybe what they mean is that the top line is not a ”power line” because it’s not carrying power? The top line is just a grounding wire connected to the towers ato ground out lightning to protect the actual power lines? Or then they just not seeing it with low resolution 😄
0:31 Luckily that top wire is the lightning-strike earthing wire rather than the high tension line... Still the flailing earth wire could cause issues with the actual current carrying conductors below...
At first I thought he was going to hit the rotors on the wire, then I saw it was the nose of the aircraft and the wire was cut by wire-cutting fixtures installed on modern helicopters for situations just like this.
@@Orca19904 "for situations just like this". That's a very amusingly understated way of referring to this crisis. You must be pilot as they are notorious for glossing over near disasters when talking to their mothers (and other family members). Also, the wire cutters are a "Hail Mary"device if you know what that is 😉
The flailing wire could also have wrapped itself around the tail rotor, or the mast or the landing gear, or the tail boom. How it didn't is a miracle. There's a photo somewhere on the web of a Bell 206 with a static wire spooled up around the mast and control linkages. Somehow, they made it safely to the ground and had the opportunity to take a picture.
You haven’t lived life to its fullest until you’ve done a cat shot off the boat. I have and it’s infreakingcredible.. Better than any ride in an amusement park.
I've ridden high speed accelerating rollercoasters so know what it is like when the acceleration ceases: you feel like you are falling/diving. THAT was disturbing. Point is, this F-18 is going from zero to 145+ in a couple seconds, far more than most of us experience. Whee!
The absolutely ineffective windshield wipers being switched on 10 seconds before landing and the plane calling the pilot a retard over and over is the funniest damn thing I’ve seen in a cockpit.
It is a grounded sky line (as we call it in so cal). Some times there is additional equipment wrapped on those lines such as smaller conductor used for relay and fault sensing depending on the scheme.
Trick for those on a PC. Pause at 0:30 when you first see it over the lines, and use , (comma) and . (period) keys to step a frame at a time, back or forward.
Pilot: Now pay attention, final turn is gonna be late. Co-Pilot: How late? Pilot: You know when your wife says she'll be ready in five minutes..? Co-Pilot: OMG...
I love 3 minutes. But do they have to always blur the first few seconds of the videos in order to explain the clip? Surely a better way, such as a strap line? It always makes me feel like I'm missing something. Still, keep up the good work 3 minutes. Mark. PS. If you agree, send a comment.
A possible amusement for _Star Wars_ fans: while watching the Bhutan Airbus landing, try to imagine the unsynchronised wipers as the arms of a C-class droid fitted just in front of the cockpit, frantically waving in increasing distress...
It cracks me up, if a Pilot puts the plane down but makes any sort of mistake, the plane will still be calling out: RETARD, RETARD, RETARD... The wonders of modern technology!
Modern helicopters, particularly military helicopters, are fitted with wire-cutting fixtures on the nose section for just this reason. Never actually seen them in use until now though.
I do have to wonder, with how UA-cam is sometimes, you don’t get demonetized just because of cases like the audio at 1:52 right? Of course, very different use for the word here, I know, though that wouldn’t matter if UA-cam does take issue with it anyway, but I certainly would hope not given all the amazing videos you give us to watch!
The 767-300 engine failure is one of many reasons, pilots should not switch quickly to autopilot before leveling off at the right altitude. Many pilots have this silly habit of doing just that.
Yes, indeed. But most airlines are super-strict about how their pilots operate, laying down all kinds of major and minor procedural rules that they MUST follow. The autopilot timing that you mention is a perfect example of a major one; when a (penalty-free) go-around is justified would be another. A minor one would be forbidding pilots to wave at plane-spotters and spectators when taxiing (because it looks 'unprofessional'🙄). As their every decision and move is monitored and recorded, I suppose they have to comply if they want to keep their job. Delaying engaging the autopilot would probably result in a warning or even disciplinary action being taken. Sadly, there's less and less room for skilled pilots to use their initiative, and flight schools are required to turn out pilots who are excellent at following routines and doing as they're told, rather than people capable of doing what their experience tells them will be best in any given situation. I can understand why airlines want their pilots to follow rules, but with the increasing use of computerised flight systems and 'smart' automation, the role of a commercial pilot is fast becoming that of a machine-minder rather than anything more traditional. I bet a bush-pilot would soon be bored out of his mind at the controls of a big jet. Going by the book is good in that it prevents overconfidence, complacency and the developing of bad habits, but it's bad in that it creates pilots who may lack 'the right stuff' - the ability to adapt and improvise when things don't go exactly according to plan. (In ... my... humble... opinion...🤭)
@@EleanorPetersonI’m pretty sure most airlines don’t have the requirements you talk about. My company doesn’t stipulate and I frequently hand fly to around 20,000 feet on departure and on arrival I’ll kick off the autopilot going through 10,000. However, I do see other pilots engage the autopilot rather soon. But that’s their choice and isn’t being pushed by the company. Having said all that, the whole autopilot while losing an engine thing really doesn’t make any difference. So you two are barking up the wrong tree there. Even though I prefer to hand fly, sometimes it’s the safer choice to engage the autopilot. This way it reduces the workload during flight in busy airspace. To forbid waving at spectators is just silly. Especially kids like it. It’s not “unprofessional”. 🙄 Flight schools don’t really “turn out” pilots for airlines either. Flight schools teach you how to fly and don’t give a rats a$$ what airlines want or don’t want. Flight schools train to the test standards that the FAA requires to pass their students. They don’t have time to waste on other things. The only thing I can say is that lately, I see two issues with the younger generation of pilots. 1) they are too focused on their instruments during take off and landing. They don’t look outside anymore, even when the weather is good. Luckily, most airplane manufacturers are trying to fix this with HUDs. 2) too reliant on automation and never try and take the automation away. This isn’t just autopilot as you mentioned, it’s also auto thrust and the use of VNAV. I try to fix this by not letting them use all the automation all the time.
Stupid boaters; they're lucky the pilot was quick-witted enough to go around as those idiots not turned away to avoid a collision but turned straight into the path of the approaching aircraft. I totally understand the pilot shaking his head in disbelief about how stupid some people are.
2:20 I hope the boaters had to change their underwear after that! They need to be aware of all other craft on the lake, there’s no excuse, they had to have heard the plane.
I know it wouldn't be professional, but just once I'd love to hear one of these Navy pilots screaming YEEEE-HAHHHHH!! as he's being catapulted off the deck of his aircraft carrier. Oh well... I just gotta imagine that's what's going through their heads at least... what a ride!
The Polish Blackhawk did NOT appear to hit nor cut the power lines. His propwash certainly disturbed them, but they didn't break. I would be VERY surprised if the power lines weren't included in the pilot's brief.
Pilots, the ones whose wives call me at 66 yrs old, to go take down that huge tree over the house, because they don't trust hubby up there, with a chain saw. 😂
*I was a Black Hawk driver during 'Nam. We were regularly sent on missions to cut Viet Cong power lines to stop them tweeting our positions to enemy troops. We'd stick razor blades onto our rotor blades using chewing gum to make the job easier. Much respect.*
You were lucky to fly that ship. I was a TH-55 driver with 50 cal machine guns mounted on each skids and missile launchers mounted on the right seat. We flew with 2 extra main rotors that we would sling off to cut down trees. It was also submersible. We'd sneak up under water at Halong Bay then surface and fly down the streets of Hanoi to annoy the citizenry.
@@phapnuiThanks for sharing. I guess we all have our different memories of 'Nam. We were on the last helicopter out of Hanoi. Me and my co-pilot, WhirlyBob, were in our Apache and we got airlifted out of the chaos by a Chinook. We had to turn off our twirly-bits as they kept cutting through the Chinook's tow-rope.
instead of a wiper, I think that an ultrasonic wax emulsion would be much better suited to the case of bad weather at speeds of around 300-400 km per hour when landing, the pilots would see through the glass completely clear
I need to buy a Aircraft Carrier! Since their nuclear powered, and I plan on only having two fighter jets. The maintenance shouldn’t be a problem. I can get some retired Navy Veterans to run the ship for me, we can cruise around the world stopping Piracy, and Whale Fishing. Heck, we can even check out the SV seeker
The Blackhawk didn't hit a power line, it hit the lightning arrestor. Very thin and relatively weak compared to the main power lines which would have taken it down.
This airport doesn’t have ILS. But you not seeing antennas isn’t unusual. Most ILS antennas are at the end of the runway, so you wouldn’t see them anyways.
@@brianfunt2619 there are airports with offset localizers. You track at an angle and make a turn off the localizer at the end to line up. That’s not the case here, just giving an example.
I had the pleasure to be in a r,h, window seat during a landing at Kai Tak . I remember whooping loudly as we blew the laundry from the apartment block balconies clothes lines as we made final turn just seconds from touch down.
For those just joining us, no that plane was not insulting that pilot, it means to slow (retarded means slow like "slow mind" when used colloquially) your rate of descent. So you don't damage anything.
The F-18 pilot's call sign is apparently "Spare Mask."
Maybe He has a Twin........Spare Helmet 😂😂
LOL His co-pilot is "Ejection Seat Failed Inspection".
Ha. Well spotted.
It was kinda odd seeing an older MBU-12/p mask in use.
What probably happened was his MBU-23/p mask was due for an inspection and he was forced to use the spare from life support.
Hats off for the pilots landing the a319 at paro in that weather!
You aren't actually allowed to fly there in bad weather, must have been a surprise storm or bad forecast.
Looks like they have done that a few times.
I thought he was doing great too. I wonder why the computer kept calling him a retard.
Good job

They seized it from a civilian
either 3 minutes of aviations favorite word is stunning, or he doesn't know what the word means.
Your comment is stunning.
Lol
No power lines were harmed by Black Hawk Helicopters during this video.....
It’s a little insensitive for that guy to be calling the pilot a “retard.”
*I was a Black Hawk driver during 'Nam. We were regularly sent on missions to cut Viet Cong power lines to stop them tweeting our positions to enemy troops. We'd stick razor blades onto our rotor blades using chewing gum to make the job easier. Much respect.*
You were lucky to fly that ship. I was a TH-55 driver with 50 cal machine guns mounted on each skids and missile launchers mounted on the right seat. We flew with 2 extra main rotors that we would sling off to cut down trees. It was also submersible. We'd sneak up under water at Halong Bay then surface and fly down the streets of Hanoi to annoy the citizenry.
@@phapnuiThanks for sharing. I guess we all have our different memories of 'Nam. We were on the last helicopter out of Hanoi. Me and my co-pilot, WhirlyBob, were in our Apache and we got airlifted out of the chaos by a Chinook. We had to turn off our twirly-bits as they kept cutting through the Chinook's tow-rope.
@@fluchterschoenLOL. U have a great imagination. 😂😂 razor blades to cut power lines. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 however we achieved it, we stopped those Viet Cong from tweeting 😬
@@fluchterschoen LMFAO. 🤣
The power line is indeed hit by the helicopter. If you’re not seeing it, it’s because your video resolution is way too low
That plane shouldn't call people that.
Was wondering what it looked like from the camera's perspective while it was filming Tom Cruise!
"Polish" explains the whole situation 😉🥶✌🏼‼️
instead of a wiper, I think that an ultrasonic wax emulsion would be much better suited to the case of bad weather at speeds of around 300-400 km per hour when landing, the pilots would see through the glass completely clear
The "power" line clipped, is the lightning arrestor wire. Definitely not good, but not a power-line.
Looked like an earth wire luckily.
The Blackhawk cut a pole tensioning cable, not a line carrying power.
It’s a pretty poor tensioning cable when it’s clearly not under tension. It was the static line / earth, not a tensioning cable.
@0:31 yes on x.25 speed you can see the line chopped
That is shocking!
Damnit! I was going to use the call sign “spare mask” when I join the airforce but FA-18 boy has already taken it 🙃
I need to buy a Aircraft Carrier! Since their nuclear powered, and I plan on only having two fighter jets. The maintenance shouldn’t be a problem.
I can get some retired Navy Veterans to run the ship for me, we can cruise around the world stopping Piracy, and Whale Fishing. Heck, we can even check out the SV seeker
The Blackhawk didn't hit a power line, it hit the lightning arrestor. Very thin and relatively weak compared to the main power lines which would have taken it down.
Wouldn’t have necessarily downed the helicopter. But certainly a high possibility. Best case they would have had to put it down immediately.
The wire cutters would make light work of power lines given the high tension.
Why is that aircraft calling it's pilot a retard? He seems to do a pretty good job with that landing...
That mountain landing- I didn't see any ILS antennas on the ground. Wow.
You cant do an ILS approach into an airport like that. VFR only.
No use in an ILS localiser if you're only just turning onto it at the threshold of the runway
This airport doesn’t have ILS. But you not seeing antennas isn’t unusual. Most ILS antennas are at the end of the runway, so you wouldn’t see them anyways.
@@brianfunt2619 there are airports with offset localizers. You track at an angle and make a turn off the localizer at the end to line up.
That’s not the case here, just giving an example.
@@MeppyManright.
I had the pleasure to be in a r,h, window seat during a landing at Kai Tak . I remember whooping loudly as we blew the laundry from the apartment block balconies clothes lines as we made final turn just seconds from touch down.
For those just joining us, no that plane was not insulting that pilot, it means to slow (retarded means slow like "slow mind" when used colloquially) your rate of descent. So you don't damage anything.
Good thing the Bhutan Airlines pilot turned the flappers on. Could have been disastrous otherwise.
Pretty rude for that airplane to call the pilot "Retard".
