I will never understand why it is not a standing order for all pilots that as soon as they detect smoke or fire they are mandated to land at the nearest Airport that can accept them. It seems common sense to me.
I didn't realize I was the 1st one to turn the heater on in the C172 I used to fly. A few scary moments and an emergency landing. The mechanic found the problem immediately. The smoke cleared by the time I was in the pattern, but still will get your adrenaline flowing!
If I don't clean my furnace in the fall before it clicks on, the accumulated dust burns and stinks up the house. It doesn't last long but if you don't know what's causing the smell, I can see why people get very cautious.
A trick I learned as a scuba diver if your mask fogs up was to spit on the inside lense and smear it everywhere. Of course you would do this before diving. The saliva prevents fogging up the lense. Not sure if it would apply to this situation but in a pinch it's better than nothing.
Having your instrument view obscured in the cockpit must be one of the most dangerous and uncomfortable situations a pilot can experience. Fortunately, they employed their training and experience to diffuse the issue.
Another instance of cool, calm, and professional pilots using great CRM practices to make this a "non-event" considering what the outcome could've been if it had gone in a different direction.
From economic and environmental standpoints, it seems outrageous to me to have scrapped the 20 year old airframe in 2023 when travel was on the rebound. I'm sure they could have found a Southern Hemisphere buyer for it somewhere!
I wonder if there was some inaccurate information about the plane’s manufacturing date out on the interwebs that Alec is relying on. However, I agree that’s a mighty quick scrapping.
Immediate decent, smoke in the cockpit check list, when you get a second declare for smoke and say intentions. One should fly while the other gets mask working then switch. They did great, id fly with em😊

Wow that sort of reminds me of Swissair flight 330 and Egypt air 804 of how they smoke enter the cockpit and crashed into the ocean and the ground and everyone on board were killed and EasyJet flight 565 did the same thing of how the smoke was on board but luckily the plane landed safely on the runway and they all survived but how did the smoke come from?
Pretty sure it was horrible handling and shipping of hazardous materials by a 3rd party contractor that brought down ValuJet and not the cartoony logo on the livery.
Unless you live in the UK or Europe you never will fly them. Easyjet are a well established Professional Airline using Modern Aircraft and have an excellent safety record. Things have moved on since Valujet thirty years ago
Over 86 milion passangers landed in Heathrow in 2024.. Next time you think that flying in Europe is dangerous remember that fact.. As long as you stay away from Air France you will be fine

It's pretty situational
@@Randomly_Browsing In what 'situation' would you be willing to risk crashing a burning plane?
@@frankblangeard8865 The most common cause of smoke is cigarette smoking in the lavatory.
@neilpountney9414
They suffer from get-there-itis.
@@frankblangeard8865 it depends if there's a chance that would happen I think
Pilots made the correct decision.

Company motto: "easyJet, where even mid-air emergencies are easy."
I take the Newcastle to Bristol flight all the time and didn’t even know about this!
Aye mate

The pilots did everything right ✅️ and by the book 📖 👍. IMO

17 year old, worse!

The airframe may have reached maximum cycles
@michaeljohngoldstrom hmmm

Newcastle is my local airport. Also if there's smoke in an EasyJet cabin then you'd get a surcharge for the diversion.
I got a Squeezyjet advert before this!

Smoke? Land soonest-fastest. Well done.

Can you do Condor Flight 316?
Probably someone in the cargo hold smoking some Marboros.
Bro pull a incident that no one didn't know
Next crash can you do is Piedmont Flight 22?
When are you going to upgrade to the new MS flight sim??
All's well that ends well
Thanks for the spoiler.
@@donnabaardsen5372Who reads comments before watching the video? That's outrageous
I wonder how he finds all these crashes/incidents
He may follow The Aviation Herald.
Probably the uhhh.........internet.
Because there are so many.
Aviation Safety Network/The Aviation Herald
Neat vid with great graphics.
Pity you couldn't add the smoke into the cockpit!
can you do jeju air 2216 with any information?

@@diserrii this one was the worst
@ Yeah Swissair flight 111 then South African Airways flight 295 and UPS flight 6
And now....let's hear from the experts.
😀
Upon landing, Snoop Dog said "Not gonna fly Easy Jet again, for shizzle."
Please cover LOT Polish flight 5055 in a video soon. 🙏🙏
Please Make A Video About Air India flight 182
Do jeju 2216
Not sure I want to fly with an airline with a cute cartoony logo… ValuJet, anyone?
No
Pretty sure it was horrible handling and shipping of hazardous materials by a 3rd party contractor that brought down ValuJet and not the cartoony logo on the livery.
oh yes because AA, United, Delta, TWA, NW, US AIR, SouthWest, Air France, and others have NEVER had an incident....(EYE ROLLING)
@ the logo was a symptom, not the cause.
Unless you live in the UK or Europe you never will fly them. Easyjet are a well established Professional Airline using Modern Aircraft and have an excellent safety record. Things have moved on since Valujet thirty years ago
Seems defective design for their masks. Bottled oxygen is dry, so must have been their breathing fogging them. Time for a replacement?
Over 86 milion passangers landed in Heathrow in 2024.. Next time you think that flying in Europe is dangerous remember that fact.. As long as you stay away from Air France you will be fine
That’s a strange reaction, Air France is a good airline
This is why I only fly Boeing.
Sorry to hear that
