Probably, The storage tank he was fueling that particular plane from was likely near empty upon completion. Water of course is heavier than fuel and sinks to the bottom, logically, any other planes that were fueled by that tank before the affected aircraft avoided most of the contaminants. That is also likely the reason the airbus experienced the most severe problems at the end of the trip when its fuel tanks were very low. But, thats just one theory to consider out of many possibilities

Very nice presentation. I never worked on Airbus, but I did cringe at that mechanic that kept pumping. Thats a big no no for other reasons too, as pumping fuel at higher pressures can lead to statis electricity, which can ignire the fuel in the tanks, as well as rupturing fuel lines, o rings, fittings, etc. Just a terrible ...mistake? Is it a mistake? I can almost guarantee that he didnt care and just wanted to sign off on the fueling. Sad thing is, that I have come across such mechanics, that would do a repair knowing it was wrong, just to get 10 extra minutes on their lunch break.

@@matthewhoward2343 I was in the military and crew chiefs do all the fueling/defueling maintenence actions. But even with our TOs and higher...lets call it quality of maintenance, you still get bad apples, and in some squadrons you can have just 4 people working 30 jets, at a very high tempo, post flights, oil, tire changes, pre lights, fuel, defuel, cargo (we still were the ones that prepper for the load masters), not counting any atypical things like landing lights, or God forbid a number 2 engine change, which on a KC10 is a royal pain. It was one of the reasons I transfered from that squadron. We had some civilians, union guys (which were also in the same reserve unit, which caused major conflicts of interest) that would clock out and leave us, the four of us just as jets were ready for their missions. Another one also transfered after me, and a third retired, and that forced leadership to change things up to prevent a major accident. At least my prior airframe things were much bettter staffed. Three of us per jet, and if something was off, the mission would use an alternate jet, or even be scrubbed. But yeah...civilian stuff scares me at times. I remember one regional flight that I had to call the tower myself to ground it over a floating spoiler. Maybe in the civilian world thats fine, but in our regs that was a major grounding writeup. Pilot ignored me, said it was fine. I disagreed, and being on the plane, didnt want to take that chance. (At the time we used the airport as well as the base, so I knew at least one military member was in the tower. Called them, gave flight number, and told them the issue. We did go back, and the RIDICULOUS thing was that it was just a bonding wire that ripped and tangled around the spoiler hinge and wouldnt let the spoiler fully retract. Its a two minute fix. Replace, retorque the fasteners and done.

When you take into account the inspection/repair of engines, fuel tanks/lines flushing/cleaning/replacing, damage to the landing gear/braking system/tyres, thorough inspection/evaluation/repair of excessive stresses to the airframe/fc surfaces etc., this would’ve been very costly indeed. Why should the airline be forced to bear those expenses when the fault is entirely attributable to the airport?

So I agree with everyone on how amazing the production value is on the channel. The voice, presentation, graphics, and storytelling...top-notch. But something I don't see anyone mentioning is how refreshing, on a couple of different levels, the choices and balance of the stories he shares. What I mean by that is yes, he shares the more known stories where there was a big explosion, or it breaks up in the air, or the crash is devastating with a large loss of life (at least known for us who love listening to plane crash/aviation channels) but he also shares emergency landing stories, or crashes where most or all survive. It's not only refreshing to have a happy ending to these every so often, but also I'm finding many stories shared that I havent heard before, which is becoming harder nowadays. I think many other channels focus on the "devastating" ones, if that makes sense, which tend to be the most well known. A few I've heard many times from different channels (Japan 123, Tenerife, TWA Flight 800, etc) so I just really appreciate and enjoy hearing ones I'm not as familiar with, and find myself cheering when there are amazing pilots working together to be able to land a crippled or malfunctioning plane! Anyway, favorite channel...one of the few where I dont think I would change one thing about it.

I worked on the Space Shuttle program and it lands perfectly with no onboard power. It’s like a flying rock. After launches, there is just one option in the case of a failure. It’s called RTLS at 100K (Return To Launch Site). If the Space Shuttle gets to an altitude of 100k or above they can maneuver the Shuttle back to a runway next to the launch pad. I worked at John Space Center in building 5 where astronauts train. They practiced RTLSs in the motion base simulator. I’ve flown RTLS maneuvers many times without any training and was able to land successfully most of the time. Only once did I make a ‘divot’ in the runway ;). Having said that I agree with you. The pilots could have glided down except for the thrust in one engine being stuck at 74%. The weight of that aircraft is about 180,000 pounds. The Space Shuttle is 151,000 pounds. The additional weight plus the 74% thrust of an engine would make a controlled glide a lot more difficult.

Deploy max flap & speedbrakes, stand on brake pedals taking care not to damage head on flight deck ceiling. NB: To obviate the calls for reverse thrust, when you’re committed to an asymmetric landing, it is inadvisable to use reverse as you would not have full rudder authority over the engine thrust and risk a runway excursion, or worse……….(don’t ask).

It is quite unbelievable that in a twin-engine configuration with one engine in idle power and the other at only 37% EPR that a heavy widebody made it down at all - what an amazing flight deck crew! The thrust was barely sufficient for an A320/B737!

I still believe in the old FAA regulations and the 60 Minute Rule. You only have 2 engines and one is spluttering like an 80yr old woman who's smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day, her whole life, and you decide to fly on? I always thought the tri-jet was airline cheap-skatery ("Hey!! Did you know that three is just as good as four!?"), but on these modern monstrosities, you lose an engine and straight away the pilots have the extra burden of dealing with assymetric thrust flying....I wouldn't be dragged onboard the damn thing.

Nice video. As a non-expert in aviation, I was wondering if it was an option for them to shut off the engines completely when nearing the runway so as to bleed off some speed/energy and glide to the runway at a more reasonable speed....
@GreenDotAviation
2 жыл бұрын
The likely reason they avoided shutting down the engines is that if for any reason they had to go around, they were going to need all the power they could get. With the engines in the condition they were in, there was also no guarantee that they could be started up again after being shut down. So, to shut down the engine(s) would be to voluntarily limit yourself to one landing attempt. These situations are all about giving yourself as many options as possible. You might then ask why they couldn't be shut down the second they touched the ground, when it was clear that they wouldn't be going around. The reason for this is that when you land, you can actually use the engines to slow you down by putting them in reverse. That's what they did in this case, and this likely prevented an engine overrun.

I'm sorry but this is a fail. If a large aircraft starts sounding alarms, you LAND immediately or the nearest airport. Pushing on is a mistake. This could have ended very badly. They got lucky. In the air, you never know the full extent of what is wrong. Warnings are not definitive. They simply suggest problems but do not tell exactly what is wrong.
