      What makes you think flawlessly?. If he was flawless he would have used the outrageous glider skills and done left 270° when he knew both engines ingested all those birds and landed feet dry on RNY 13. Instead it took a precious 2.5 min trying to line up with 3 other airports that were further away, only to realize they ran out of altitude / energy. He didn't even get to the best glide speed for several minutes. I know it's not fashionable to detract from what the media created, but these are facts not in dispute. Ask him. He's humble enough to tell the truth, but they wouldn't let him. Regardless, I have set up the problem in a Level D sim and landed feet dry back at La Guardia every time, as have others. But he's the star, not us.

      Also a common misconception is that it was a miracle. Incorrect. The flight had a safe outcome because of the safety culture in commercial aviation, the regulations the industry follows, the frequent and thorough training of pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance technicians, airline dispatchers, and many other professionals. Safety wasn't uncommon or an accident or divine intervention. Also, the decision was the true key here. Landing in the water wasn't the thing that set this apart, it was that Sully recognized that returning to LGA, going to JFK, or diverting to TEB (with north/south runways while he was east of the airport) wasn't feasible without possibly losing too much energy, so he went with what some may not have thought about. (Fun fact: when Hanks, Sully, and Eastwood were preparing for the movie, they used my airline's Airbus simulator. Unfortunately I never met them during that time, but Sully was on one of my commute flights at some point later on.)

      So he knows how to fly a glider. How does that help you fly a jet as a glider? Gliders are designed to glide, jets aren't. His training on military and commercial aircraft was a lot more useful than his experience as a glider pilot. Gliders fly like any aircraft, the special techniques you learn involve using thermals to sustain flight. And they are really good at sustaining flight, being very light and with lightly loaded, high aspect ratio wings. Other aircraft fly exactly the same way, just not as far. You just trade altitude for speed. If he was just a glider pilot he would have thought he could glide it all the way back to the airport. As a jet pilot, the knew he could sustain flight for a very short time, since he only has a small amount of attitude to trade. It's not like he is the only pilot to ever land a jet with dead engines.

    • @hxpx6906

      ​@@justforever96 I guess you are not a glider pilot. As a glider pilot managing altitude and speed and watching out for potential landing areas is your concern during the entire flight. With powered aircraft it's not. And as a glider pilot you are constantly handling kinetic energy and aerodynamics of a non powered aircraft. And that mental background might have helped Sully to intuitively make the right decisions. And BTW aerodynamics of an airliner on idle thrust or with engines shut down are not that much different from a glider.
      Managing the complex system of the airliner (doing the necessary emergency procedures) is the other part of the workload in that situation. And that's the part where being a glider pilot didn't help him.

      The chosen takeoff runway was subject to a 4-knot (7 km/h; 5 mph) tailwind.
      The pilot rotated the aircraft too slowly, at about 1°/sec instead of 2 to 3°/sec.
      Furthermore, although initial calculations suggested the aircraft was operating within its weight limits, the investigators believe, based on the takeoff speeds used by the crew, that the aircraft was actually almost a tonne above its maximum permissible takeoff weight of 74.7 t (74,700 kg; 165,000 lb)..."

      2) Tailwind.
      3) Incorrect rate of rotation. Too slow.
      4) Incorrect pitch attitude attained. Too low.
      These four factors account for this accident far more than the plane being slightly over MTOW. A ton in that plane is essentially meaningless. Leaving the airplane on the short runway for too long (tailwind plus bad V-Speeds) and then not pulling hard and fast enough (too slow and too low pitch change) to get them off the ground killed them. @@stephenskinner3851

      It takes longer for an overweight plane to accelerate. If they had rotated sooner as their lower takeoff speed allowed, they might have cleared the obstacles. Then again that wasn't the only issue with their takeoff run, they had a slight tailwind and the rotation was not conducted quickly enough nor steeply enough. It speaks volumes that they could have got off the ground safely, even with an overweight plane, had they done everything else properly.

    "The airport runway was too short for the Boeing 727." That must be a short runway. The 727 was designed for use by Boeing per Eastern Air Lines request for an aircraft that could take off from shorter runways in the Caribbean but had to have three engines. This combined with specs from other airlines resulted in the 727.

    • @justforever96
      @justforever96 Před 8 měsíci +6

      It obviously wasn't too short, they wouldn't be flying from a runway that they couldn't take off from. Im sure it means that it didn't have the large safety margin specified by most western authorities. You need to have room not just to take off, but to abort any takeoff up to the rated safe speed. In any case, it is still a large jet. It still needs a large runway, just less than the contemporary jets like the DC8 or 707. Doesn't make it an STOL bush plane.
      Also I can't imagine how any plane would fail to take off because they were going _too fast_ . That doesn't make any sense. I could see if they modified it to take off slower (also don't see how that's a fuel savings) in order to allow it to use shorter runways like this one, and the pilots weren't made aware of this and ran out of runway before they managed to reach the speed they thought they needed. But you would think that when they saw the end of the runway coming they would try anyway, and if it was able to take off slower it would have been fine. More likely they didn't "modify" it (not even sure how they would do that), but rather created new takeoff procedure to allow a slower takeoff from a short runway like this one.
      Only someone failed to tell the pilots about this, and they were still trying to take off the normal way, and in that configuration they were not able to take off at the speed they were able to achieve.
      But no, he said they already lost an engine and hydraulics and a landing gear. So they were probably screwed anyway. Kind of curious now to know what happened. If that's the case I don't see what the modifications had to do with the crash. That's just incidental stuff they discovered while investigating.

      They have got their flaps set, as you can clearly see that they aren't fully retracted. It's a long time since I fired up a flight simulator, but that looks like maybe flaps 5 to me. It's certainly not flaps 0.
      The general consensus at the time from armchair experts (nobody, besides the people on the plane and the cameraman, knew anything had happened until the video went viral months afterwards so there was no official investigation) was that the pilot rotated too early and simply didn't have enough forward speed to get off the ground, though a few did blame (as Georges said) wake turbulence. The problem with the wake turbulence theory was that it would have occurred right near the start of their takeoff roll and they would have been well clear of it by the time they did their speed check at 80 knots, never mind hitting V2 (the point of rotation), although there was an accident in New York where a plane crashed because the pilots were fighting wake turbulence they'd long since cleared (they were slamming the rudder left and right, which caused them to think they were still in the turbulent air, and they tore the vertical stabiliser clean off the airplane), so it can't be discounted completely.

    • @hostrauer

On the Abraham Lincoln we had an A-6 blow a front tire on the cat stroke. The aircraft ingested the tire and instantly lost thrust. He dropped his external fuel tanks so fast they almost hit the bow. Even with both engines having lower thrust, he saved the aircraft. The one in this video seems to have not acted as quickly as the one I witnessed.

      I’m an aircraft mechanic. Adding something to cover the engine to reduce the chance of FOD lowers the engines efficiency. Even if it’s by a little bit. You also risk the chance of that part being dislodged and sucked into the engine itself. Then there is the matter of potential ice build up etc. Which is worse than a bird strike. It's impractical in that birds can't fly near as high as most commercial or private pressurized aircraft. Engines are built to withstand certain things being sucked into them within reason. There are many more factors to consider but these are the most likely scenarios. I hope this helps.

      @@harleyme3163 No disrespect intended, but why do pilots use full flaps to land and flaps 2 to take off if they do not help with these circumstances? Flaps increase lift, which you need for takeoff, by the way, to which rotate speed is calculated. Even single engine aircraft use flaps.

      I had the same question on a flight out of Frankfurt Germany in a 727 with no flaps extended. The flight crew said they could not use them because we were near maximum takeoff weight and needed to use the entire length of the runway to gain the speed needed to create the lift. Using the flaps would have increased the drag on the wings slowing them down too much.

    #4 at 4:35 . It seems like this video is missing a lot of critical info. They start by saying that the plane had already lost its number 3 engine and all hydraulics before it even attempted to lift off. But the video places the blame on the airline making changes to allow the plane to take off at slower speeds, and then say that the pilots tried to take off at 5 knots OVER the needed speed. So faster was worse? Is that said because the runway was too short for the plane to begin with? Seems like the engine and hydraulics issues would be more important to the explanation. Especially the dead engine issue.🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

    Interesting thing about the A-6 Intruder is that the canapy doesn't eject with the pilot, rather the pilot and bombadeir are ejected THROUGH the canopy. That is probably the reason for the spinal compression!

      Damn, I never knew that. Aren’t the seats ejected alongside the pilots? I’d assume that the top of the seat would take the majority of the impact, but I could be wrong. The G forces involved in those ejection seats are pretty ridiculous to begin with.

      Some canopies have a det cord inlaid so that in the first part of the ejection process the canopy shatters, just before the seat leaves the aircraft. As for the spinal compression, most, if not all crew will suffer injuries due to the huge acceleration (12 to 15 G).

    The A-6 Intruder was a twin engine, twin seat aircraft. In this particular incident, the plane lost it's right engine during catapult launch, forcing both crew, Pilot and B/N (Bombardier/Navigator) to eject. A little more research would have produced a far more interesting video. Also, the narrator's tone and colorful graphics do not match the seriousness of the subject...

      The plane came within 900 feet of the George Washington Bridge. Had the plane hit it then it would have been a 9-11 disaster with all that traffic and likely no survivors on the plane. The bridge is also old (completed in 1931) & would likely had been destroyed. What a traffic nightmare if that bridge were gone for three years or so.

    @AlconburyBlues Před rokem +15

    #1 The pilot had zero degrees of flaps set for takeoff. Normally, you do not go to zero flaps until you achieve 230-250 knots, well into the climb stages of the flight. If the flaps are set correctly for takeoff, the takeoff speed for a B737-700 is between 130-150 knots. So with zero flaps, he was at least 100 knots less than the wings needed for lift. That is why he had so much trouble even though he had 13,000 feet of runway. Takeoff checklist was not followed properly, as setting the flaps is a standard part of the procedure. (BTW, the still photo just before the video clip was of a different aircraft. A B737-800. The one in the video is a 737 NG aka B737-700, which has slightly different limitations.)
