This is the story of spicejet flight 256. On the 5th of january 2014. On that day the spciejet 737 was to fly from delhi to goa and then back to delhi again. On the ground at goa the pilots of flight 256 was given a computerized flight plan and the weather at their destination, delhi. The plane was planned to land at delhi at about 6:15 pm and the weather was supposed to be okay the visibility at the time of their arrival was estimated to be 200 meters or about 650 feet. If they couldnt land at delhi they had lucknow and jaipur as their alternates. Which were relatively close by. As they fueled the 737 they put 9.5 tons of fuel in, of which 500 kilos or 1100 pounds of fuel was meant for holding over delhi if they needed to. But with delhi being notorious for its smog the captain decided to add another 300 kilos or 661 pounds of fuel to the plane. The plane took off and made its way to delhi and when they were 50 Nm from the city of delhi things were not looking good for the pilots of flight 256. The traffic around delhi was and is nasty and that combined with the worse than usual visibility meant that there was a long list of planes waiting to land. Flight 256 was 13th in line. As they approached the entry point to the STAR or the standard terminal arrival route, ATC asked the pilots to do two orbits at this point they had 3.4 tones or 7600 pounds of fuel remaining. As the jet got closer and closer to delhi the pilots kept a close watch on the visibility. The reported RVR was at first 1150 meters or 3700 feet, but that dropped to less than half to 550 meters or 1800 metres. Things were getting bad for example the Roll out RVR or the distance that the pilot can expect to see at the far end of the runway had dropped to just 50 meters or 150 feet. This was wayyy too low and so the pilots of flight 256 decided to stay at 7000 feet hoping that the weather would improve. This meant that theyd have to burn a bit more fuel, but it would be worth it if the visibility improved allowing them to land at delhi. But that did not happen instead the visibility at delhi got even worse. The pilots now had a decision to make they could wait around and see if the weather at delhi improved or they could divert. At this time the 737 3100 kilos or 6800 pounds of fuel onboard. They needed at least 2700 kilos of fuel to get to Jaipur, their alternate. But the pilots found that just getting in contact with jaipur was a tough task as most of the planes around delhi were having the same idea as flight 256, they too were diverting to jaipur. But once they had set things up they flew to jaipur and on their way they prepped for the landing at jaipur. On their way there they looked at the possibiltiy of diverting to either ahmedabad or lucknow if the weather at jaipur was too bad. But running the numbers revealed something scary. They had no other choice but to land at jaipur, both ahmedabad and lucknow were now unreachable with the fuel that they had onboard. They had to make this landing count the pilots decided to make a dual channel autoland. This meant that the plane would basically fly itself down to the runway even if the visibility was bad. That was a solid plan. As the pilots approached jaipur there were two plane ahead of them in the queue. One of the planes decided to divert to ahmedabad the other one an air india a320 had to land and then they were good to land. But then the unthinkable happened, the pilots of the A320 ahead of the spicejet made some very bad decisions and they stuffed the landing and ended up blocking the runway. Now this wasnt some small runway excursion this was a major accident, the plane had gone off the runway sliced through some trees and parts of the plane were strewn everywhere. Like this accident has its own report and everything and if you want a video on that like this video and let me know in the comments. But the main thing for the crew of flight 256 was that they now had nowhere to go. Their one option was now blocked by an A320 that had had an accident and the weather at delhi was still horrible. When they went around the plane had 1.7 tons of fuel left. The captain now used the authority that he had and decided to head - Věda a technologie

As a pilot who operated around 20 years to DEL, I always take fuel for my second alternate plus at least 30 min extra fuel.
I always say "expect unexpected at DEL".
I was caught many times with RVR around 75 meters there without the proper TAF showing that bad! Fortunately, based on the experience and being approved for CAT IIIB with no DH, and even to restrict my ZFW to carry extra fuel, I always made it there even with long holding time in the air. DEL is one of the most tricky airports in India. It really needs dispatch and crew coordination and experience to avoid such a situation. And believe me...it is worse than what you think.
So when it comes to DEL or even BOM(WITHOUT CAT III) we are always careful and cary much more fuel than our dispatch suggests. It's not a joke and these airports are really tricky. The operations department shouldn't tie our hands to carry extra fuel even if we have to restrict our ZFW. In my company which everyone is qualified for CAT IIIB with no DH, diversion is rarely happening.
RVR? CAT? IIIB? DH? ZFW?
@@K1OIK watch the video. MACI explains at least half of those haha. But i don't know DH or ZFW.
I totally agree that pilots should have the final say with 0% company pressure regarding how much fuel they carry. They're the only operations personnel that have their lives on the line. They'll be the ones blamed if they run out of fuel, even if the company pressures or restricts them from carrying the fuel they want.
You should always have enough fuel for 2 diversions PLUS 20 minutes hold time PLUS 30 minutes extra if there's a chance the primary plus alternates have a chance of being fogged in simultaneously.
@@K1OIK yeah he's speaking to the pilots not the general public. I don't know/can't figure out half of those, but all you have to do is a google search.
RVR = Runway Visial Range
CAT=Category IIIB=3b = Category 3b (a category of instrument landing that's basically the best, letting you auto land with zero visibility.. explained in video)
DH = Decision Height
ZFW = Zero Fuel Weight
Hope this helps btw.
Working as an Airbus 320 Captain, I find your videos really useful and a public service to aviation safety. They are direct to the point and very helpful for a professional pilot to come in contact with very delicate situations, possibly avoiding them in the future. My most profound thanks. Keep on!
What do you think would have happened if they didn't add the extra 300kg of fuel on top of their calculations?
😊😊😊😅😊😊😊
Definitely, the Captains decision to take that extra fuel saved this flight, albeit unknowingly. Good Piloting all round in tough circumstances.
so he took on extra fuel unknowingly just for the kick of it.
“Better to have and not need than to need and not have???”
Now that you mentioned it, I'm interested in a video on the A320 that ran off the runway in Jaipur. PS: Mad props to the flight crew of the Spicejet flight.
I gotta say the extra 300kgs of fuel is the prime saver, meaning captain really saved everyone
6yyyyyyyy
Just 300 kg? No - want more. At least three times that much more!
@@dennisyoung4631 Why not fill the tanks up? Even better, why not attach drop tanks?
@@aadixum airliners tend to not have the needed attachment points, nor the needed plumbing, for using drop tanks.
Secondly, those flying them tend to not wish to put more fuel in than they think they need. A likely/plausible reason is “less fuel, more passengers-> improved profit margins.”
While I think, personally, that airlines need to return to the status of “quasi-utilities” - they were treated thusly up until sometime around 1977 or so - not everyone is as deep into erring on the side of caution as I’ve learned to be (by learning the hard way, as a rule.)
Ps: 900 kg, for an airliner, isn’t all that much. That’s roughly a thousand liters of Jet-A - maybe a few minutes of run time, at moderate power settings, for, say, an Airbus A320? It will go a bit further for a smaller turboprop.
The Captain's decision to add that little bit more fuel on top turned out to be a potentially-lifesaving one.
That one small choice - that little bit of extra time - meant that the engines continued operating throughout the landing, meaning they continued to have reverse thrust and full hydraulic brakes.
And given that they were landing on that airport's shortest runway? They _needed_ that.
My hat off for the crew of Flight 256. It feels unbelievable when the aircraft landing ahead of you have an accident. (It happened to me once.) It was the quick decision to return to Delhi and declare an emergency that saved everybody onboard Flight 256. Too many accidents have happened because of wrong or late descisions and poor communication.
The MSFS2020 Re-enactment just makes these a pleasure to watch! Quite beautiful!
Edit; I´d absolutely love a video on the A320! Sounds very interesting indeed.
Everytime we flew into New Delhi, we used to carry an extra 2 tons of fuel, on top of the calculated fuel reserve. This was due to the fact that the Indian air traffic controllers makes you waste a lot of fuel, by giving you useless and nonsense vectors, their weather and visibility are always bad due to air pollution.
As far as I know, there was no one in my airline who enjoyed flying into Delhi.
please do the needful sir
When was the last time you flew to Delhi?
@@blackmamba9950 The last time I was there was in May 2022.
@@desertedcake This was and still is the typical request from crew scheduling, "Captain please Do the Needful." 🤣 🤣
Yes please do a video on the crash before the spicejet!! now I just have to know what happened to it....
Yes
There's a definition for Category IIIC ILS, but no implementations anywhere for the foreseeable future. Modern airliners can land in zero visibility, roll out along the centerline in zero visibility, and even auto-brake to make the desired taxiway turn-off in zero visibility. But there's no way to taxi around the airfield in zero visibility. In an emergency, an aircraft could stop on the runway, but otherwise ATC cannot issue landing clearances when visibility is too poor for the aircraft to vacate the runway and safely navigate to the gate. That's the limiting factor.
Wow that's cool! Interesting, i would think automatic taxiing to the gate would be relatively easy to implement because you could use arrays of accurate, short range beacons to guide the planes.
Movement of plane while taxiing must be easiest of automation.On ground, It's just like self driving car, in a pre-defined path, with almost no moving traffic.
Also, on ground the GPS coordinates can be used to very easily move the plane around. We can see these things in cars itself, putting these on plane shouldn't be a problem at all.
@@nitin.agarwal There are many more collisions on the ground than there are in the air. This is a dangerous environment. GPS isn't good enough, not even with space-based augmentation (WAAS). For Cat IIIB, aircraft rely on the localizer signal to follow the runway centerline, not WAAS GPS/INS. It's possible that with local area augmentation (GBAS) installed on the airfield, GPS could be made accurate enough for taxiing. In the US, Newark and Houston have GBAS installed as part of a trial program, but there are no plans for further expansion at this time, and it's not certified for anything more than Cat I, let alone taxiing.
Remarkable
I feel like there has to be an easy way for an aircraft to at the very least safely clear the runway, so the runway could still be available should a 2nd emergency happen before the visibility improves
Hey man I just wanted to thank you for the vid and I appreciate you properly pronouncing the city names very accurately; it’s a tiny detail but it goes a long way
YES, I’d love to see a video on the Air India A320!

💀
Ha ha very cool. Have a safe flight.
I started listening to these about 2 weeks before flying to Texas to visit my daughter, my friends thought I was crazy!
How is your internet running in a plane?
@@death_parade it’s 2022 my guy… wifi is a thing…
You stated it -- the decision by the Capt to load more fuel is what ultimately saved them.
However, an argument can be made that they would have diverted sooner with less fuel, and landed at the alternate earlier before the accident.
But, I prefer the extra fuel option because anything can happen...
Nice job!!
Awesome video as usual . Actually it was so scary to hear but thanks to pilots who done everything to save the flights ... Very good explanation
The trend in these Indian cases is that the pilots are awesome and manages to save the plane even though maintenance is crap and dispatch does not care.
The primary reason this didn't end in tragedy was the crew's attention to detail when doing their fuel quantity numbers. They were careful to get it correct--and that's what got them safely onto the runway before the engines starved. Bravo Zulu to the PIC and PM: they are the real heroes here.
Kudos to the flight crew on this one. Amazing work. 👍
Edit: it didn't end in tragedy b/c of the captain adding a dollop extra fuel out of caution (guess he well knew what he was flying into) and luck. It was on a knife's edge.
My suggestion is that Delhi's airport seems like a system loaded beyond safe capacity, and they're trying to make it work anyway.
Basically? Delhi needs a second airport, outside of town.
Just site it adjacent to the rail lines, as India inherited a really good rail system from the British occupation.
That's my take.
Lol the railways were not well designed for india. They were designed to facilitate the export of India’s wealth to the U.K. furthermore Delhi is getting a second airport (Jewar) in the next couple of years
@@abingdonboy You are right, but in this case, its heritage does work in its favor. Alas, OP should probably just not have mentioned the British at all.
@@charlie7mason Yeah. They shouldn't mention the Brits for Railways in India. We don't owe the Brits anything. Especially after all these years of Indians managing, upgrading and expanding the network. Brits should look at their own bloody network with just 38% electrification and problems with expanding their High Speed Rail Network to 500+ km. India already has 81% electrification and within a couple of years will have 100% electrification and a larger high speed rail network under construction than UK.
@@abingdonboy Not only Jewar, there are even more airports coming up like Hisar, etc in Haryana.
BTW, was wondering if its possible for civilian flights to make emergency landings at Airbases. Not all airbases are collocated with civilian airports, right?
@@death_parade You're right about everything.
India aviation have a track record of "anything goes" safety mindset. Some company do not have SOPs, training rule is fuzzy, even the ATC doesn't care if you don't call. They might have improved but this mindset still there
The Kochin one you mentioned in the end was purely cockpit crew blunders.
The German one, only partly.
But here in India, even in cases as bad as these... the toothless paper dragon
..which the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in India is..
... the final reports are all but comprehensive.
And obviously those involved barely get a rap on the knuckles.
This final report too hasn't led to much operational Improvements or major policy changes within SpiceJet.
.
Thanks for making crisp and engaging productions👌🏽🤍 as always.💙👍🏼
They'll suspend pilots for taking a picture in the cockpit, but they won't care to make a no fly list when some 'influencer' carries cigarettes and lights it with a lighter on board. Welcome to Indian government organization lmao. Half of them have logic stuffed up their rear ends.
True! @@AT-bo6ww And use their mouths for doing the function of their rear ends.
Traveling with spicejet is always a gamble. You never know what's waiting for you.
I do think that runway blockage is being considered for flight planning. What I heard was that the airport at Easter Island was so remote and far from any airport, the point of no return for flights going there is some 3 hours before arrival. As such, the airport has to assure the runway will be clear for landing in that 3 hour period, which include no take off or landing as even a small accident could result in a runway blockage. The airport thus can accommodate only one single flight for every 3 hours. This was not an issue when I went there 20 years ago as there were only four flight per week.
It’s true that remote airports with no viable alternate use a point of no return system but the decision to continue or divert is only based on the forecasted weather and any foreseeable delays on arrival. Blocked runway is not taken into account. But the flights are planned to arrive at the destination with an ‘island reserve’ amount of 2 extra hours worth of fuel so that they would have the capability to hold over the airfield to await an improvement in any unforeseen deterioration in weather or for some kind of incident to be cleared so that the runway would be available again for landing.
This is the best channel for air investigation 🔎 shorts. Thanks for all you do.
Smart move by the Spicejet crew to load up on extra fuel, it really came in clutch! That A320 accident should be the next video if possible.
I love your videos and would like you to do one on the A320 crash that almost doomed this flight. Keep up the good work!
As always, another excellent video from you. Great work from captain. Yes, would like to see the A-320 crash video and curios how the pilots of that plane handled the situation. Were they also put into that situation by operations or did they cause the crash?
I like all your vids. Just keep making them!
To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, "That was TOO close!"
Kudos to the aircrew for showing good airmanship throughout, from the decision to take extra fuel all the way to setting up that TERRIFYINGLY all-or-nothing final approach!
Also, I would also like a video on the crash that forced their re-diversion. And perhaps a video on other circumstances that have caused multiple incidents at the same airport!
As a recovering football(soccer) referee, I found out that a good way to convert from meters to yards/feet is to estimate that 1 m = 1.1 yd.
Thus, 50 m (roughly, you understand) would come to ~55 yards, or ~165 feet.
This is still only an estimation, but it's closer than just setting meters = yards. ^_^
(for comparison, the exact conversion of 50 meters comes to just a hair over 164 ft 1/2 inches.)
Please do a video on the Air India A320 in Jaipur as well!
Love your videos.
I joined this airline a few months after this incident. I have never ever believed the dispatch team’s inputs without cross checking. Now, they are very good professionals. No doubt. My take is - why should you blindly trust someone ?. Especially if it’s your safety that’s is in jeopardy?
I'd love to see a vid on that A320. That was definitely a terrible day to be flying out there
Wow. I never knew about this one. I used to fly to Jaipur a lot and the Air India that came to grief there gave us a lot of laughs. He burst his tyres, went off and hit a tree. Any Indian pilot knows that if DEL is foggy, JAI might be too, Picking JAI as an alternate for DEL is so Indian.I enjoyed my flying in India- for Air Costa, but your wits around, you must keep.
@Simon, JAI is usually a viable alternative to DEL as the visibility there is generally better than DEL. Fact is, when the fog rolls in, ALL airfields in the Gangetic plain go under, at which point we usually plan for Ahmedabad or Nagpur as our alternate. Even in this incident, JAI was available, but weather was not the reason it suddenly became unavailable! Today, besides Delhi, Jaipur, Amritsar and Lucknow all have Cat III airfields, so that aircraft can land in visibility as low as 75m.
Indeed. There have been many improvements. JAI was practically rebuilt after the Air India. I felt better about my habit of taking a bit of extra fuel after seeing this vid....
Dude. You always ask if we want videos about certain crashes. We always want them from you!
This was a good call from the pilots. Spicejet has had some good days but has since fallen on hard times. Hope it regains its past glory. Competition in the Indian domestic skies is ultimately good for the customers.
Great video , and bro look at your subs now , remember when you were excited about 40,000 lol,
It’s Andrew from Australia ; I know you remember me
Yes I would like to see the associated incident that caused this aircraft to return to Delhi. . .This was very interesting! Kudos to the pilots for doing the best they could and finally getting their aircraft safely on the ground! 👍✈✈👍
Such incredible graphics .. could literally smell the smog of Delhi
A reporter asked Niel Armstrong if he could take into space if he could take anything he wanted, and he said “I’d take more fuel”.
Aw man for second I thought we we're getting a two-for-one special. I'd love to hear about the other accident!

The 300 kg of extra fuel really made the difference.
There’s a motivational speech poster in this video.
Great video as always :D
It's so interesting, what can happen to your options. So I'd definitely like a video about what happened with the runway incursion.
It is unfathomable to me that is customary to operate with no more fuel reserves than this. I rarely let my vehicle drop below 1/4 tank…and 90% of my travel is within 15 minutes of home around town.
Cost of carrying extra fuel in car is negligible but carrying extra fuel/weight in this 737 significantly increases operating cost's in many ways
Google maximum takeoff weight
I get there’s both weight and economics at play but I’d rather pay 20% more and know if I was flying from Newark to LaGuardia that there’s enough fuel on board to make Charlotte or Detroit if need be.
@@ezrashonor Very true but people want cheap seats and the airlines are competing for business , I would rather have fuel for unforeseen problem like this , this captain took on extra and saved the day
YES, please comment on the runway accident as well. Thank you for your videos!!
Please do a video on the A320 that made a mess at Jaipur. Great video as always. Thank you.
I clearly remember that night. The visibility was a just a few meters. I could not see the home across the street.
I was glued to FR24 and could see aircraft going around, in holding pattern or diverting to Jaipur and Lucknow. UA managed to land though.
Saw both these aircraft fly towards Jaipur and the AI land and this one returning back to Delhi. Learnt only the next morning that the AI aircraft had landed blind and went off the rwy.
Can you share date and time or fr24 playback link

I have to be honest, I enjoy all your videos! That said you will NEVER catch me in a airplane! Keep up the good work!
yes ,like to see your take on the preceeding flight
Great video👍🏼…I think 💭 luck and skill saved this flight☘️✈️
Great job on the Seattle Horizon crash last week. The fuel situation was unbelievable. Fumes don't describe this situation. This is all a part of the risk benefit analysis the pilots go through. The extra 300 kg paid off. Just did a quick check. Says the 737 burns 30 kg of fuel a minute at cruise. That's around 8 gallons. They did not have enough for a go around.
Couldn't be overstated how critical the fuel was... that wasn't even enough to fill an average size aquarium
Definitely the crashed plane in Jaipur too.
One never really thinks about the effect of a crash on the other air traffic in the area.
Another +1 for a video on the A320 incident 👍
Definitely want to see a video on the other crash that made the go back to Delhi.
"Great Airmanship !!!"
Wow! A flight investigation without a tragic crash? A happy ending? With hero pilots? Give us more! Great story!
Spicejet also does not operate out of Lucknow, but out of nearby Kanpur. Might have been the other reason why they did not consider diverting to Lucknow.
Hey, the passengers got to land where they wanted!
~Always look on the bright side of life~ *whistles*
It was a split-second decision plus staying focused on whichever plan he came up with. His calm attitude and calculated risk also added in his favour but it could have gone against him, but then it is the outcome which defines his decisions.
Yes... Would love a video on the crash prior to this incident.
For sure do a video on that other crash, it'd be a great company to this video!
I'd like to see a video on combined accidents, can't imagine there's more than a few separate incidents occurring at the same time
Would really appreciate another video on the other incident!
Great report. I love your videos on 'minor' incidents. En par with other major youtube channels, but focusing on less known (but at least equally interesting) accidents.
Thank you for giving the distance in feet, also. 😘
Loved the video. Where could I find any sort of incident reports for this? Have you considered including links to them in your video description?

🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️Definately need the video on the guys ahead of this incident 👍🏾
If it hadn't been for the pilot's decision to take on extra fuel, that plane would have crashed.
Thankyou so much for this very revealing video. Those were the dark ages of 2014. Now Hardeep Singh Puri ji should add more runways, functional systems, and backups.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Like Missy and others, I also would like to see a video on the other crash mentioned. I really enjoy and appreciate your excellent videos. It's worth mentioning that Irish airline *Ryanair* regularly use the *bare minimum of fuel* when setting off - in fact, the airline *specifically instructs pilots NOT to add extra fuel* in case of emergencies or unexpected events (such as the one in this video). I am *very worried* that one day a Ryanair passenger jet will crash due to running out of fuel, if this kind of thing should happen - which sooner or later, it almost certainly will. Needless to say, I myself would *never* fly with Ryanair, no matter how cheap the flight.
Great job pilots!!!
Yes!! Do a video on the screwed up landing!
8:03 - I'm being a little bit nitpicky, but the minimum altitude on an ILS is called the Decision Altitude. A Minimum Decent Altitude is part of a non-precision approach. The difference is when you reach the DA, you immediately go missed, but when you reach the MDA, you have to stop your decent stay there until you see the runway or reach a specified Missed Approach Point.
4:47 yes we want video of that A320 accident too
If I ever get a job as a pilot, I don't care what the company's SOPs are, I'll always carry more fuel than is legally required, at least 1hr extra if possible
Amazing analysis
Today, I learn something new. Air incidents range from very interesting to very boring, but to be safe, we have to look at all air incidents so that we can be safer pilots tomorrow
The paint on the airplane is very beautiful.
been to Delhi many times, there are often cows hanging around the baggage claim carousel…because of their belief is cows being sacred they have to let them roam wherever they choose to go, including in the middle of the highways.
So, plane traffic is often delayed because of cows in the baggage claim, car traffic is outrageously slow because of cows in the street…and in a day to day to basis you never know where those cows are going to head
Good video
