    This is the story of TUI of flight 1665. On the 11th of september 2021 a boeing 737-800 was on the way from palme de majorca to aberdeen international airport. The plane had 67 people and 6 crew members on board. An hour and a half later the pilots were in contact with aberdeen approach, ATC wanted to route the plane so that they would be making a CAT I approach to runway 34 at aberdeen using the ILS. The ILS or the instrument landing system uses radio beams to guide the plane to the foot of the runway. Cat I ils is decently precise but CAT III ILS is so accurate that with the right pilot who is certified in CAT III approaches the pilot can take the plane all the way in without even sighting the runway. The controllers let the pilots know that they might have to go around because on the ground at aberdeen international a helicopter was about to takeoff on a search and rescue mission and once that helicopter was airborne the helicopter would take priority for obvious reasons thus needing flight 1665 to go around. With the possibility of a go around flight 1665 continued with the approach. As the plane intercepted the localizer or the radio beam that helps the plane align itself laterally with the runway the pilots had already prepped the plane to land, the flaps were out the gear was out and all that was now left to do was to fly the approach all the way down to the runway and land. But at 2600 feet the controller wanted the pilots to go around and turn to 270 degrees, the helicopter now took priotrity. So the pilots pushed the engines to max power and the plane started to pick up altitude and speed. In a few seconds the plane went from 2250 feet to 3000 feet but then something strange started to happen the jet started to descend. Now this was the exact opposite of what should be happening at this point this plane was supposed to be climbing away not descending, it is after all a go around. The plane started to drop faster and faster at one point it reached a descent rate of 3100 feet per minute. At those speeds the plane would impact the ground in less than a minute. Thus the pilots did not have a whole lot of time to react. In the tower the approach controller noticed that the plane was losing speed very quickly he or she contacted the radar controller to warn the controller about the developing situation. Now the radar controller acted as fast as possible and told the pilots about what was happening to their plane. In the cockpit the pilots were already working on recovering the plane and with some grunt they did just that, pulling the plane out of the dive. The jet maxed out at 285 knots at the bottom of the dive. Now just for some context at this point they werent supposed to exceed 285 knots during this phase of flight. But thankfully the jet started climbing away to safety. The pilots and all onboard must have been shaken, its not everyday that a passenger jet just noses down for no apparent reason. As they put the plane into a left hand turn they made sure that all the systems were working as they set the plane for another approach. Whatever had happened on attempt number two should not happen on attempt number two. Who knew if they would be able to recover if that happened again. With the controllers help they set up the landing and flight 1665 landed without much issue on runway 34 at aberdeen international airport much to the relief of the 73 people onboard. Before we continue with the video im a little bit curious, we often talk on this channel about accidents and near accidents, but if you were in a situation like this what would you do ? just something to think about. But Now we need to figure out what happened to flight 1665. How did a plane that was climbing away suddenly nose dive and almost end in disaster. The answer as well see started all the way back in 2020.

    Once in the late 80's I was on an Alaska Airlines flight into SeaTac (727-300). Normally after a little roughness on landing the plane settles down as the reverse thrusters and brakes kick in, but this time it did not. The roughness turned to bouncing and in the plane lights from the back of the plane I could see plants and stuff getting kicked up past the wings. After a small eternity the plane finally skidded to a halt and immediately the cabin filled with smoke. Inside the cabin no one said a word, it was completely silent except for the engines spooling down. One or two passengers near the front stood up and the flight attendants yelled at them to sit down. They immediately complied and it was silent again for about 30 seconds before the captain announced "Evacuate, evacuate, evacuate!". This went really smoothly as well. After helping 19 people out of the back of the plane I looked around in the darkness to see where to go. I saw many people running towards some lights in the distance then saw a plane landing there. I realized they were running towards an active runway. I waited a second or two, when my eyes adjusted I was able to follow the skid marks about 400m back to the runway we had left abruptly. I stood at the edge of the runway, lit a cigarette and said to to myself "Well, they won't land another plane here until they figure out what happened to the last one". Shortly after an army of red lit vehicles approached and herded everyone into a line to count us. It was all pretty quiet and surreal.

    Interestingly I know how I react in a situation where something could have gone wrong on a flight, one time I was a passenger literally on the window seat looking at the wing when I saw birds fly straight in to the engine. I literally reacted so calmly, my brain was like "well this flight isn't going to run today". We were early enough in our takeoff roll to just abort the takeoff. Hardly anyone on the plane saw it happen & everyone else seemed a lot more worried once they learnt (even though we were parked by then) than I was literally watching it happen.

      I know the feeling. While I havent tried it in a plane, I have had a couple of emergency situations happen to me, and I just go into super calm analytic mode, looking for the optimal solution as quickly as possible. Once was with several ppl involved, and the 1s panicking and screaming and actually getting in the way just annoyed the sh*t out of me!
      Tho afterwards when the situation is over, and the adrenalin rush leaves, I start shaking all over, so I can barely hold a glass of water, and my voice is all shaky. Takes like 10-15 minutes to wear off.
      But it is a relief to know, how I react in an emergency. I do understand, that all ppl react differently, and nobody really knows, until they have it thrust upon them. So while I find ppl panicking and getting in the way in the situation annoying, I do understand, they cant help their reaction. But I find even more annoying the ppl, who make grand statements about, how THEY would do this and that and whatever, when theyve never faced it.
      In my thankfully fairly limited experience, the more selfaggrandizing ppl are about their supposed superior reactions in an emergency, the more theyre actually going to fall completely apart. In that several ppl involved situation, I was once in, there was actually a guy, who had been so full of himself ahead of time, claiming he was like an oracle, the 1 to follow if anything happened (not that we were doing anything remotely likely to get us in an emergency). Well, karma called his bluff, and he was an absolute basket case. And then he had the temerity to deny later, what we all witnessed, claiming he was perfectly calm!

Taxi driver never noticed and I never said anything. Just thought "hmm, that was close."

    I haven't been in a situation quite like that, but I do know how I'd react in potentially hazardous flight circumstances. A few months ago, I was flying into John Wayne airport (SNA), when the pilot announced that their was a problem with the flaps, and they wouldn't extend, necessitating redirecting to Los Angeles International airport (LAX). I felt like I understood the situation from watching this channel--SNA has a very short runway, and no flaps meant a higher landing speed. LAX has much longer runways, so they'd have much more stopping room. The pilot was giving us updates on approach, and mentioned that we'd see the lights of the emergency vehicles next to the runway during landing, and this wasn't cause for alarm. I had already expected this, since I knew they'd be relying on the brakes more, which meant potentially overheating, and the fire crews were there to extinguish any potential fires caused by melting brakes. All in all, I was pretty calm about it. Just knowing the basics of "what's happening" make scary situations less scary. Unknowns are frightening and simply understanding no flaps -> higher landing speed -> longer runway -> more brake usage -> hotter brakes -> emergency crews on standby made the situation less frightening.
    The plane landed OK, but the pilot was HARD on the breaks on touchdown. The plane stopped fine, but you could tell the brakes were completely melted and would likely need to be replaced. As we taxied to the gate, every time we braked, the whole plane would shudder, which felt like the warped brake discs like my brother got after taking his Grand Am out on the race track.

      What really kills me as an English and Spanish speaker, is the fact that Quebec French isn’t given the same status as Parisian French. In contrast you can find study materials for either American, British, or Australian English and they have equal status. Even with Spanish where the Real Academia exists, you can still find both Castilian and Latin American Spanish learning materials. Portuguese is the same way too (you can easily get both Brazilian and continental Portuguese materials). Why isn’t Quebec French treated with the same respect??

    A frequent flyer, I have been on 3 go arounds, unnerving but I know a decent amount about planes to not be shit scared. The second flight however I had no confidence in whoever was flying and was literally praying in my head. The first attempt to land I knew we were going way too fast, way too close to ground and it was windy and we weren’t even close to stable yet. It literally felt like we were diving. There definitely must have been something going on in the cockpit. I sat calmly silenced by fear and no control. I could not wait to get on the ground.

    One at Alicante due to wind change, one at Shannon due to runway occupancy and the same at JFK 747-400. All of them were epic. What hits you is the landing silence suddenly being interrupted by the enormous roar of the engines and the feeling your bottom is crushing down into your seat!

      yeh, worse one i had was when we bounced hard on the tarmac twice and then abandoned it. Circled for about 30 minutes and then came down (hard!) again. fortunately we stayed on the ground this time. Worse thing about it? The fact that I watch too much of this stuff, so I knew that the pilots would be under stress to reconfigure the aircraft to take off again. As we all know this is the time where mistakes happen and that got into my head a little. tried reading for a bit but was kind of bothering me. As you say it was huge g force as it powered up again. Was a rookie pilot, and in my mind they were coming in way too fast so not surprised it was a touch and go.

      Stabilised at 2,000 feet, why they hit the TOGA lever puzzles me. The pilot flying could simply raised the gear, spooled up to about 50%, then taken a nice gentle turn with the rudder while slowly gaining 10,000 feet and retracting the flaps progressively at the correct speeds. While he concentrated on that dirty word called flying, the pilot monitoring could have concentrated on chatting to ATC in order to get them back lined up with enough distance hit the glide slope at the correct speed.
      TOGA is great when you need to abort a landing from about 30 feet, since it performs several actions at once. But in this situation it made more problems than it solved.
      CRM was not exactly their strong point either. LOL.

    It sounds like the pilots did what was needed once the unexpected happened. They flew the plane, stabilized what was going on and made a safe landing without further incident. And you get their confusion about the higher altitude go around mode. If it’s not something that gets trained in the simulator, nor is it something prone to come up in real life much, it’s at best a few lines in a dry manual somewhere.

    Nice video thanks! The new visuals really bring these to life. My question is: why dont they design the "TOGA" system to be TOTALLY automatic? Where the pilot can press the switch and go hands off. The flight computers take care of the climb and the the nose attitude when engines at full power etc. The automatics then level the plane at the ATC alt. If this happened on Embraer 195 or A320 would the automatics have reacted differently?

    I think it's worth a mention that most airlines have a minimum number of hours and "flight cycles" to be flown by pilots to stay sharp on the job, AND if I recall correctly, most countries even adopted such a policy JUST for keeping a legitimate commercial pilot's license...
    By "flight cycles" I'm talking about a prescribed take-off AND landing. I seem to remember it from Mentour Pilot (channel on YT regarding Commercial Aviation including, AND BEYOND aviation accidents and disasters) ...
    Basically, to keep a commercial license to fly, you're required to have at least one take-off and one landing every 90 days or so... This is besides the check-flights and simulators and other drills and inspections that airlines put pilots through... Mostly (I think) because many of those aren't entirely necessary except for certain conditions, like a near miss or when a pilot's looking to bust Cap'n... or something like that... BUT on the job, they're ALL supposed to get that one take-off and landing within about 90 days (3 months/1 quarter) to practice and stay sharp.
    SO because of Covid, and grounding so many planes and flight crews, there was a sudden SHORTAGE of legal commercial pilots when the aviation industry started trying to rumble to life again. A lot of student pilots who had been trying to get their hours or just get a license to begin the path to a commercial career had already sunk themselves into horrendous debt and no end in sight, so they dropped out and left "the dream" as it were on top of classes canceled and such... THIS led to airlines AND officials finding new ways to waive or grandfather some of the remaining pilots back onto the job, regardless of their flight cycles and hours at the yoke... AND near misses happened from the lack of "edge" on some of them...
    Some are going to get lucky, and nothing happens... probably a majority. Aviation incidents are low for reasons EXACTLY LIKE Pilots being so well trained at their jobs. BUT even a 1-in-10,000 chance has to surface somewhere in a million flights a day... Someone's GOING to win that lottery.
    As to what I'd probably do in that situation as a passenger? Brace for impact and hope for the best... There isn't much you can do that's going to do any relevant good. Make your peace with death... it comes for us all sooner or later... Where I can, as long as it's coming anyway (no matter what the f*ck I do) I might as well die trying like hell not to... BUT where I can't, either I'm good with it or I might as well GET GOOD with it. ;o)

    I really enjoy your discussions of near accidents, simply because the content goes beyond the usual level of speculation. Though it might be difficult to get hold of the official reports of such investigations, the root cause for most incidents appears to be pilot error. Pilot error immediately followed by an adequate response and recovery, perhaps? After all the ability to have an interrogation with the pilots is the most valuable resource to investigators

    Would you like to hear requests/suggestions about specifically *older* cases as well? :)

    @richarddyasonihc Pƙed rokem +1

    Aa very good analysis, as Ppl pilot, I have never flown either a late jet aeroplane, nor used one of the simulations assigned to ATPL pilot training etc. certainly a person may get a little ‘rusty’ after a period of not flying, but in my case it really only means that nmy first couple of landings are a bit shoddy for my liking. However, I also would like to point out that the B 737 is an airframe which has been re-configured and upgraded time after time, though the basic fuselage & wing structure still retain the characteristics of the B707 which has changed little since the 1950s. The company keeps on slinging larger and larger engines under the wing - however in the later models these have to be held to opylons considerably forward of the leading edge of the wings, so they won’t strike the ground. Some pilots feel that this changes the COG & the.flying characteristics, Boeing have largely solved most issues using tech solutions, but not (in some pilot’s opinion)satisfactorily.

    Why the difference above/below 2000 feet? Obviously, if you're above 3000 feet, you don't want to descend on a go-around. Having a consistent end result would have prevented this. Like:
    Below 3000 feet, apply go-around power, climb to 3000 feet and maintain altitude.
    Above 3000 feet, apply go-around power and maintain altitude.
    Notice how both cases end with, "maintain altitude."

      Surprisingly easily. Try driving but in 3 dimensions, with no visual guidance cues from outside and the feeling in your gut telling you the car is half way into a backflip. And trying to coordinate unusual configuration changes with the aircraft, the other pilot(s) and air traffic control expectations
 you’ll be sailing into the cumulo-granite before you know it. The autopilot is absolutely crucial in most of these situations. How many people have been killed, driving on a straight piece of road right into the path of an oncoming lorry?
