    Before we get started, We’re so close to hitting 100K subscribers so it would mean a lot to me if you hit that subscribe button! With that lets get to the video! This is the story of Air India express flight 1344, on the 7th of august 2020 a boeing 737 was making its way from dubai to calicut with 190 people on board. As the 737-800 approached calicut the monsoon was in full swing across the entire area, the pilots got their list of diversion airports through the ACARS. Landing at calicut was a challenge in the best of times, the airfield is elevated above the surrounding terrain, thus you have big drops on both ends of the runway. Landing at calicut was so challenging that only captains were allowed to land there. The weather at calicut was quite bad but the weather at cochin and coimbatore were much better so if needed they could divert to there. At 1:19 pm UTC, Chennai upper area control got in contact with flight 1344 letting them know of the conditions at calicut. The runway in use was runway 28 and the visibility was at 1500 meters the winds were a bit concerning at 14 knots. As flight 1344 descended it was handed over to cochin lower area control and finally by the time it was at 12,000 feet it was in contact with calicut ATC. At this point flight 1344 was 52 nautical miles away and the airport was experiencing some mild rain, speaking of the airport the airport had two active aerodrome warnings at the time one was for the thunderstorm and the second one was for the wind, which was now at 17 knots. This meant that the crash fire tenders were already at the predetermined points just in case of an emergency.
    As flight 1344 approached the airport it was cleared to descend down to 3600, As the plane lined up with the runway the weather seemed to ease up the visibility was at 2000 meters and the wind had calmed down to 5 knots, but they were having trouble with the windshield wipers on the captains side, The wiper worked for a bit and it stopped working the captain remarked “Wiper is gone, what a day for the wiper to go”. But they carried on with the landing attempt on runway 28, The plane decended but they couldnt see the runway, eventually they hit their minimum descent altitude. Without the runway in sight they decided to go around.
    As flight 1344 flew away from the airport, the gear and flaps were retracted and the pilots reprogrammed the flight management computer for attempt number 2, but on the ground air india flight 425 was getting ready to depart to delhi, they wanted to takeoff from runway 10 due to the winds at the time. ATC asked flight 1344 if theyd like to use runway 10 for their next landing attempt, the pilots of flight 1344 check the winds and visibility for runway 10 a few times and eventually they accepted.
    At 1:59 pm and 42 seconds UTC, flight 1344 was cleared to descend from 7000 feet, they were cleared for the ILS zulu approach to runway 10, As they headed away from the airport air india flight 425 took off from runway 10, they reported winds of 10 knots. By 2:06 pm UTC the plane was turning inbound intercepting the localizer of runway 10, the crew were again fiddling with the windshield wiper, the windshield wiper worked but it wasn't as fast as they wanted. But soon after flight 1344 intercepted the glideslope and began the descent to runway 10, the crew at this point carried out the landing checklist.
    In a matter of minutes the 737 was just 500 feet above the ground, the captain disengaged the autopilot and took manual control of the plane, when he did this the rate of decent began to

I’m an American born to immigrant parents from South India, a musician, and a bit of a linguistics nerd, so I guess I’m unusually attuned to hearing these differences.

      Get-There-Itis is a real thing. The pilot is stessed out, needs to be on the ground ASAP, doesn't want to redo the aproach AGAIN because it realy is taxing, just want's to get down and be done. This poor decision-making sadly is part of our human nature, can be mitigated to some extend, but one needs to be aware of it all the time. The pilot knew that if he had to divert the company would have to cancel the flight for the next day, so he probably wanted to land at all costs, ignoring the fact that a crash would have the same effect.

    I remember my younger brother coming to me in a hurry and saying 'you might be interested, there's a plane crash at Kozhikode' as he knew I am interested in everything aviation.
    The initial reports were that the plane overran the runway because it was wet and the tyres skid over it.
    Thanks for bringing out the real cause. Brilliant video, as usual..

    @cargopilot747 Před 2 lety +6

    I appreciate the effort and research you put into these videos. Also, you concentrate on the factors that led to each crash and potential ways to avoid similar accidents. (And crashes that didn't happen but almost did!) Most "full length" investigations spend at least 20 minutes talking about various passengers who died. Details about how wonderful some of them were and how they'll be missed, and what school they were attending, etc. etc. Yes, it's tragic but virtually all of us have lost people we loved (due to accidents, age, disease, whatever). Our own losses are no less important. I'd rather learn succinctly about the accidents themselves, and you do that so well, taking into account weather, schedules, mechanical equipment, pilot pressures, etc. Well done.

    I'm from kerala and I remember this disaster,
    Some info on what happened after the crash, the locals heard the sound and they all rushed with their cars to reach there. They carried as much people they could to nearest hospitals, this was during a peak spread of covid in gulf countries, and this flight was one of the rescue flights to bring back indians to their homeland. This was initial time of COVID and everyone was scared but the locals didn't mind and they did the maximum they could, people were piling up in hospitals all accross Calicut to donate blood for the injured.
    All the locals participate in the rescue was quarantined and they were given a salue of respect from the Kerala state police.

    2. Cockpit gradient was higher in Airindia Express and company culture is also an issue here.
