An RAF veteran is giving a talk to a class of school children, and was trying to explain what a typical mission would be like. "So there I was, escorting the bombers to their target, when out of the blue we were attacked by a bunch of fokkers. There were about 20 of these fokkers. One took out my buddy, but I managed to shoot the fokker down. Then one was on my tail and I couldn't shake the fokker, but my pal took care of him. Then I took out two more of the fokkers..." The teacher interupts "Children I should explain, the Fokker was a type of figher airplane used by the German Air Force to stop the RAF bombers and their escorts." "Yes, but these fokkers were flying Messerschmitts!"
None of you are Dutch like my parents. I wanted a guitar when I was a kid, my mom thought it would be better if I got accordion lessons. Look at that little fokker go, he should start a band! Thanks mom.
I really liked the Fokker regional jet. It had a very spacious cabin that would be like premium economy by today's standards. Unfortunately the Dutch company never managed to make it a commercial success and went under in 1996.
Absolutely. The power lines temporarily knocked the passengers out so when they hit the ground they were relaxed. They then woke up and walked off the plane. Miraculous..
Your comments starting at At 5:14 sum up the final cause exactly. When you mentioned it earlier I was also puzzled. Pressing altitude hold at 50' AGL makes no sense. I can understand loss of situational awareness, but they should have gone around. Virtually all accidents involve an error chain. Break one link, and the flight can still have a safe landing. A go-around would have been the right decision.
I’ve never flown a plane outside of video games but in the initial narrative of the accident when you said they turned on altitude hold, even I asked why they weren’t going around.
I am not a pilot, but I know when the warnings of pull up, ECT. You obey immediately. That's why there are terrain avoidance sensor and warnings. Very surprised only 2 died, but it is 2 to many. Condolences to their families.
I live near 2 huge schools and a big park, lots of kids on the street. When I'm backing out of the driveway and the car starts beeping it's for a good reason. I almost hit a kid 40 years ago, once in a lifetime is enough.
I think they were trying to "get low and grope for the runway" and just missed the legitimate minimal altitude they needed to maintain the aircraft. It's tempting to get down early, level off, and slow the plane to just coast over the terrain while you search for the runway in the fog in this kind of scenario. You KNOW that with less altitude, visibility reaches just a little further forward, and it does... BUT that's a marginal benefit at the best of times. It's just not worth getting below the minimals, even if you know the area... In a jet, you've got almost no time to react. People have already been killed to put those minimal altitudes and go-around rules and protocols in place... BUT I can't think of any other way or excuse for the pilots "missing' that minimal safe distance from the ground. They KNEW what they were doing when they went to 100 feet and when they hit the "hold altitude" mode. They knew they didn't have a visual on the runway when they NEEDED it. They made a bad call for "Get-there-itis" in sh*t weather and it cost a plane, a couple towers, and lives... They're incredibly lucky it didn't cost a lot more and get a lot worse. ;o)
Yeah, its so easy to say "pilot error", but when u take a little closer look at all the accidents with a finding of "pilot error", u will find, that the vast majority of them are further explained by lack of training, wrong training, inadequate procedures etc. Sure, it happens, that a pilot simply fails in contradiction to training, procedures etc, but far too often a pilot fails, coz the pilot was failed b4 even getting in the aircraft.
There is a phenomenon called "get--there-itis". Trying to land no matter what. They might have never seen the actual runway but mistook something else for it, e.g. a road, Confirmation bias keeps you believing you are right with what you believe and it may be hard to get out of that mental "rabit hole" until it is too late. And even it they did see the runway at some point: if you lose sight of it you cannot go below the MDA (minimum descend altitude) - and if you already are you must go around. Of course their actual actions showed a lack of discipline, breaking a number of rules one after the other. In the actual, legal procedures there is no such thing like a "constant angle nonprecision approach" getting you below the MDA without your clearly seeing the runway or the runway lights clearly identifying it.
I am sure that a number of pilots have made the same mistake. When landing at your home or a familiar airport and you know that you have seen the runway, provided that you know that their is no rising terrain, forrests, buildings or electricity lines between you and the runway, losing visibility for a few seconds is no big deal. But unless you are certain of ALL these factors, a go around is the only safe action. Even then, dropping below 200 feet before visibility returns is highly dangerous. Needless to say, enough thrust to lift the nose immediately is vital throughout.
Quick question... The pull up, terrain. Is this in the pilots language?? We always hear English but wondering if there is a language barrier, even with ATC?? Another great video!! Mini has become one of my favorite aviation channels ❤
You might be thinking of China Northern Airlines Flight 6901. That's the accident where the pilots asked each other what the English phrase "pull up" meant. I always feel guilty for laughing.
I think they didn't pay attention with all the checklists etc. And simulation training for ALL POSSIBLE SCENARIOS is absolutely imperative! What a tragic incident! They were searching for the runway and ignoring everything else!
The fact the missed needed to be discussed while they were flying the approach really says just how far behind the plane they are. Approaches are items that should be briefed before you even get inside the aircraft.
Training, training, training, and small, airline companies don’t like to waste money there’s a possibility the pilots felt pressured to take it in the first landing without burning fuel in time
If (thankfully) only two people perished, and one of them was on the ground, and there are supposed to be two pilots on the plane... how come they couldn't just ASK THEM afterwards what they were thinking at the time...?
@@CAROLUSPRIMAYes I wanted more explanation on why there were just theories rather than any information about pilot interviews. Seems that that was left out of this video. Even if it wasn't in the final report it would be nice to at least have that be mentioned.
@@R2Bl3nd Someone says that it’s in the video at about 3:20 or so; someone else pasted the Katheryn’s Report or something similar. I’ve looked closely at both as well as the NTSB final report and it’s simply not there. When I ask these people what the words are I get no response other than “it’s clearly in the video.” Well, it ain’t in there, clearly or otherwise. Someone suggested that the specific words on the CVR cannot be understood - which I guess is about as good of an explanation as I’ve heard until something better comes along.
Thank you for these videos. Please consider helping our visits by concentrating on keeping the last words of each sentence, or the last syllables, audible. As it is, your voice trails off to a very low volume and become inaudible. Those words can only be heard if the volume is turned way up.

Did the pilots know they were at 50 feet when the activated altitude hold? Had they set the QFE correctly? As I understand it, if the " terrain pull up" warning goes off, you give it full power and climb as fast as you can. Were these pilots tired? On drugs? Drunk? Absolutely bizarre.
This kinda reminds me of the Colgan Air tragedy, but unlike this Fokker, that mother Fokker was a an ATR-72 I think, a twin engined turboprop. A real tragedy that one too, as the flight crew were discussing the almost exact scenario they were into, leading to either incorrect flap configuration or ice build-up on the flight surface behind the leading edge de-icing boots.
Many pilots feel that having to go around is a clear indication of a pilots poor piloting skills. And any missed approach/go around will have to be explained. Also, every pilot with an instrument-commercial rating has had training cockpit voice commands. Yes the airlines is required to continue this training. The pilots simply had that "get thereitis syndrome. We all get it. Professional pilots recognize it and get over it.
I think there needs to be a strict "no blame" culture regarding go arounds, the pilots should not have justify them or be penalised for making making too many. Pilots want to get their job done like anyone else, they have their own motivation to avoid go-arounds. It's really the pilots that make the fewest that need to be monitored, they might just be excellent pilots, but on the other hand...
for the region, this is in fact quite a sizable airline... considering that the passenger in Myanmar is generally less numerous than in a more developed part of the world... two medium sized Fokker jets?... this probably represented a good chunk of the local aviation industry. it's a distance by any other means from Rangoon, & Mandalay is like the second sized city here... so this is probably one of the busiest flight routes in the country
Burmese airlines have pretty lax safety standards. I flew out of this airport to Yangon and the plane started moving before everyone was seated. Lovely country though, shame what has happened.
00:52. In every airplane that I’ve flown with a radio altimeter, it doesn’t gone alive until you are within about 2,500 agl or so.. which would mean they are very close to the mountain tops..
😢 It seems this time it waa not the fault of the Fokker plane ...but it was the fokkers in the pilots seats. 😢Rest In Peace😢 the two fatalities, and thoughts to the stress / trauma to the other crew and passengers. Thankyou for your sensitive videos. Stay safe.
The approach chart shows surface elevations over 4000', so how can the MDA be 530'? Did you calculate the MDA minus the runway elevation and still call the result "MDA"?
Your videos are good, and thanks for making them. A bit of constructive criticism: At times you mumble and slur your words to the point of unintelligibility. This is exacerbated by your extra rapid delivery. I respectfully suggest you work on your enunciation, plus try to avoid rushing...edit the text down a bit; hopefully, fewer words will result in clearer speech. Best wishes.
The air safety book "The Tombstone Imperative" reports a case of CFIT in South America in which the CVR records the following two sentences just before impact. GPWS: *PULL UP! PULL UP! PULL UP!* Pilot: "Shut up, Gringo."
I will never understand pressing altitude hold at 100ft, terrain can vary by 100ft in seconds at the speeds of a plane, I would have felt immense terror for the terrain coming up and CFITing me and gone around immediately, which makes me think both of them didn't pay attention to their altitude, but they're literally on they way down to land so how did that happen? I have, so, so many questions Edit: never being trained on GPWS, yep, that'd do part of it, but the warnings are self explanatory, so I still have questions
the airplane seems like one of the older ones, so, I am not sure it had many of the tools modern pilots may be used to. at thesame time, they were probably very used to flying through things such as mist and slight bad weather... this is the rainforest in the middle of the tropics.. I can't imagine an acceptable visual landing condition was common, so, it was probably the case they pushed the envelope many times and always got away with it; until they didn't that is....
Well that took 2 minutes solve. The pilots mistook a road for the Runway. That explains their actions. The good news is they landed in a rice field which made it a softer watery mud landing. If you look at the airport on Maps, the ground features could be confusing. I have to think a simple DME system would have helped a lot.
With how poorly this airline was run, I am grateful that they went out of business. Any airline that engages in behaviors conducive to them not caring about the safety and well-being of passengers and employees alike should not be flying, at least from my perspective.
I took ground school in High School and have yet to even fly a simulator and yet I know that if you are losing altitude, you put on power and gain altitude. So how did two trained pilots not realize this? Ok, they were new to the plane, sure. They were overloaded, ok. But that should have only added to the realization that they need to gain altitude and go round. Do you think it could have been professional huberice? Most people know when their jet is on final and most people know when the pilot aborts for a goround. Could it be they did not want to admit to the geese in the back that they had muffed the landing? I don't know, maybe I am grasping here, but I know enough pilots that professional huberice is clearly a thing. Their "I can pull this off" attitude is a blessing in an emergency... but perhaps a curse when the simple, expedient and obvious thing to do is to abort the landing, put on power and go round again.
I am not now, nor will I ever be a pilot, but even I know that if you lose sight of the runway below minimum altitude, it's time to hit that TOGA and pray you don't hit anything.
If only that plane had what is called an altimeter! It's a device that looks like a clock but instead of the time, it tells you how high you are above the ground.
It seems with a lot of these accidents that pilots don't know how to fly a plane and depend on the airline to train them. What the hell are they doing in the cockpit in the first place????
Too many complicated theories simply adding fog to the possibilities. I think the giveaway was when they tried to hold altitude at 100ft. They knew they were low and were trying to sneak into the airport by holding at 100ft until they had visuals and then hoping to just drop the power and ease it into the landing. A triumph of optimism over reality.
100 ft above ground? Let's maintain the altitude and the ground effect will so the rest... (seriously -- 30 meters is really not something where anyone would be comfortable; there is a good chance of some hill+tree or building could be high enough to crash into)
A lot of videos talk about high workload in the cockpit. Two points arise: 1. If these individuals are unable to cope with high workloads they should not be flying airplanes. 2. If these individuals are able to cope with these high workloads then it can't be the reason for the mistakes. You have to pick one, but we can't just say that OMG the workload increased causing the accident.
🙋HELP I'm confused(am blonde lol). Ppl are theorizing and guessing what happened? BUT you said the pilots survived the crash. So what's the need of theorizing and guessing of what happened? My head hurts lol🤣

Airports are usually located at 0' AGL so you're gonna have to get low at some point to get there

How to spot a Fokker!: Look for an Airbus looking cockpit on the exterior and look for the rest to look like a DC-9/MD-11.

Looking at the aural photo I cannot tell if that is the scar left by their crash or if they had mistaken a dirt track for the runway

I don't know, maybe I am grasping here, but I know enough pilots that professional huberice is clearly a thing. Their "I can pull this off" attitude is a blessing in an emergency... but perhaps a curse when the simple, expedient and obvious thing to do is to abort the landing, put on power and go round again.
I am not now, nor will I ever be a pilot, but even I know that if you lose sight of the runway below minimum altitude, it's time to hit that TOGA and pray you don't hit anything.
If only that plane had what is called an altimeter! It's a device that looks like a clock but instead of the time, it tells you how high you are above the ground.
No no, It's like a timer, but it counts upward. It tells you how long you'll be falling if the engines stop!
It seems with a lot of these accidents that pilots don't know how to fly a plane and depend on the airline to train them. What the hell are they doing in the cockpit in the first place????
WE GOT ASLEEP
Subscribed a bit ago. You sound like Dan but I can't find the connection.
Whats the game you use
Too many complicated theories simply adding fog to the possibilities. I think the giveaway was when they tried to hold altitude at 100ft. They knew they were low and were trying to sneak into the airport by holding at 100ft until they had visuals and then hoping to just drop the power and ease it into the landing. A triumph of optimism over reality.
How much simulator training is needed in order to follow the directions of "pull up"? I think I could get that one right and I'm not even a pilot! 😂
Thanks!

Sometimes we can be to ‘Fokking’ ridiculous!!…better luck next time on your next ‘Fokking’ video👍***

100 ft above ground? Let's maintain the altitude and the ground effect will so the rest...
(seriously -- 30 meters is really not something where anyone would be comfortable; there is a good chance of some hill+tree or building could be high enough to crash into)
GTA5 power lines in a nutshell. The render distances for them is awful and I can never see them
if you pronounce the name right and you spell it right you won’t have an issue my guy
How well do you really need to be trained to hear "pull up" and pull up?
A lot of videos talk about high workload in the cockpit. Two points arise:
1. If these individuals are unable to cope with high workloads they should not be flying airplanes.
2. If these individuals are able to cope with these high workloads then it can't be the reason for the mistakes.
You have to pick one, but we can't just say that OMG the workload increased causing the accident.
Oh THAT name!
Hi i'm 11years old boy I don't have any pilot trainings but I know how to control the plane and I know what are those alarm meaning
Off hand? Don’t you mean off guard?
heho MDAFokker...lol...someone had to do it :P
No... Just no...
Fokker is a Dutch name . Been doing ac for almost 110 yrs. Nothing funny about the name
They were IFR, I Fly Roads.
🙋HELP I'm confused(am blonde lol). Ppl are theorizing and guessing what happened? BUT you said the pilots survived the crash. So what's the need of theorizing and guessing of what happened? My head hurts lol🤣
Air Bag-an or Air Ba-gan?
So it was nowhere near the airport
Bugger the check list all they needed to do was haul their backsides up into the sky…driving in heavy fog is dangerous…
What? The Fokker is naughty? It's not the French word for seal.
Geez😊
ive never seen a pilot do a pretrip.
