      It looks like it departed into a spin and so the drag from the stalled wing and yaw of the spin probably reduced impact speed.

      I’m surprised too, looking at the wreck. I’m also dismayed at the lack of sleep the pilots were forced to endure. No wonder the Captain didn’t want to get out of a nice warm cockpit to fetch ladders etc during the walk round. What a senseless loss of life! Great video though - I’ve binge watched 3 Greens today and lived every minute of it.

  • @andrewgkorol

    Another great video 😚. An interesting caveat particularly with high aspect ratio wings (the ATR is infamous for it) is when you retract flaps, the angle the leading edge of the wing makes with the oncoming airflow changes a few degrees and this is often enough to have drastic consequences to the performance of iced wings.

    • @anhedonianepiphany5588
      @anhedonianepiphany5588 Před rokem +1

      Interesting. Would a slower more gradual retraction of flaps make any difference in compensating for or moderating this effect?

    • @andrewgkorol
      @andrewgkorol Před rokem +1

      @@anhedonianepiphany5588 probably, not something I've ever investigated. Easiest way to think of it is that with flaps out with moderate icing you may get a 15% reduced lift to drag ratio (using arbitrary numbers, not representative of real world conditions) but when you retract the flaps because the ice is now more tilted towards the oncoming airflow the lift drag ratio may reduce 25%. Also stall angle will reduce as well and the onset is much quicker (minimal buffeting before stall). A slower retraction of flaps might just allow the crew time to control the aircraft (and get powrr on) prior to losing control. Despite being an engineer and a commercial pilot I'm still just postulating at this point!

    • @corkcamden9878
      @corkcamden9878 Před rokem +1

      It also depends upon how much and in what way the icing had altered the planform of the airfoil.

  • @rayoflight62
    @rayoflight62 Před rokem

    Very well made, thoroughly conveyed analysis of a freak accident.
    The ATRs are well engineered, highly efficient and durable aircrafts, but those efficiencies result in how critical is the respect of the rules, when operating in harsh climate. Here, the icing heavily alters the lift profile of the wings to the point that the craft can become un-flyiable.
    Thank you...

  • @geoffedmonds6507
    @geoffedmonds6507 Před rokem +4

    Thoughts? Even though they completely blew the iced up conditions of the plane prior to take off, would reversing the flaps back to the settings at the time of take off and increasing the throttle settings have maybe increased their ability to put it down at a wings level ability 🤔??

    • @AviationNut
      @AviationNut Před rokem +4

      Yes if they lowered the nose, increased their throttles and returned the flaps to their previous setting they could have saved the aircraft. Unfortunately they had no idea what the failure was, maybe if they realized it was happening do to icing on the wings than maybe there is a chance they would have saved the aircraft. If only they build up just 15 more knots of airspeed before retracting their flaps they would have never stalled, but again they had no idea there was ice on top of the wing.

    • @Jabarri74
      @Jabarri74 Před rokem +1

      Throttle up nose down is how to get out of a stall warning. Weird no stick shaker on that plane though. Again no pilot just watched a lot of vids. May not have been enough maybe have needed takeoff configuration of the flaps/ slats to stay airborne
      I paused the video 1 minute in and could see the 2 likeliest causes were no de icing or improper takeoff configuration, and my 1st guess was right.

    • @mikeoxmall3457
      @mikeoxmall3457 Před rokem +2

      Yup - push control column forward, power increase, flap 15. Are the memory items for the ATR72 stall. They should have known this, only 1 thing an aircraft buffers for - a stall. There is a stick shaker/pusher, yes. However this is based of an angle of attack sensor, with so much ice on board (easily tonnes of ice) this angle of attack was so low that the angle of attack wasn’t abnormal.

    So the error chain starts at the age of the crew, 27 and 23, two characters who don’t take passenger safety seriously, the walk round says everything about these cowboys. Not de icing when the rest of the ramp is de icing is frankly unbelievable. The decision to de ice lies solely with the aircraft commmander, not ground staff, it is not a shared decision. The final irony is that these two operate in Siberia, and die as a result of typical weather conditions of this part of the world, a tragedy which is avoidable by simply de icing which takes 10 minutes.

    I think the most shocking thing about this story is this was almost 20 years after the loss of American Eagle 4184. Most of the rest of the world had taken steps to move the ATR 72's to warmer climates due to just how incredibly susceptible its wing was to icing and and aerodynamic stalls from icing. Yet UTAir was operating them in Siberia? That might be the most Russian thing ever?
