I wonder how this scenario would be from a passengers point of view. The pilots did not inform about anything as far as I could understand. Would just the "fasten seatbelts" signs go on and oxygen masks fall out and the flight attendants would say something generic like "technical issues, please stay calm" until they have landed?
Mr Instructor why u speak Deutch all time--Gents dont forget Fly-Navigate first; if instructor not help u; u almost forget fly and navigate--Lufthansa Lufthansa-- u spoke 10 terms half were Lufthansa-us should not say many times ur callsign may be better say Mayday Aircraft
thank you for a great video. I live in England and have not been on an A350 so far and I am 82 and last year took a trip from LHR to SEZ, vvia DBX. the journey on the A380 WAS SO GREAT. I had to go on an Boeing 777 to Seychelles, since SEZ airport is right net to the sea. and I was pleased to get off the B777 to go again on the A380, which is the best plaane in the wworld as far as I think. cheers to both pilots for allowing a video at landing at Boston
Can a pilot please chime in and let me know what happens if a dual failure on a ETOPS certified plane happens over the middle of the ocean? What are the possible options then?
Try everything to get at least one engine back running or prepare two swim. But seriously, dual/all engine failures in the recent past did not occur coincidentally. They resulted from either fuel contamination or unrecognized fuel leakage. Or in one famous incident due to flying through volcanic ashes. So the best strategy is to avoid getting into this situation in first place.
What i liked is that the Captain with all his experience estimated a landing distance about 2100m but the computer told him 1900m. At the end they missed exit romeo. He was just right.
No, the plane was right. The „missed“ exit wasn’t a real miss as the pilots never intended to use that exit in the first place. The miscalculation here was on the ATC that expected the plane to stop faster.
I live just near the airport. I can tell what time of day it is by which plane is taking off.. once every two weeks, or so ,they have to land and takeoff from the other direction of the airport. Because of winds .
So in this simulation they were able to get a engine restarted but would they have still made it without? Would the run be loaded to included the engine restart or is it something someone has control over? So many questions
The instructor can decide ether an engine relights. If the instructor wants it to, you sim it cancel the failure and it will happily restart if the crew performs a restart attempt.
The first thing they did was get on the radio to speak to ATC, would it not be wise to tackle the immediate issue first, then communicate once you've got a bit of a handle on things? I'm just an average person that doesn't know how things should be done though, haha.
First thing they did was get the plane in a descent to maintain speed at green dot, so they flew the plane (autopilot is still on) then they had no reason to suddenly change heading or anything so they have now done the navigate part (and would get obstructions from ATC)
Exciting video! The impression was that the board was constantly drifting to the side and the girl was adjusting the position of the plane by pressing hard on the joystick handle. At the moment of touching the runway, I subconsciously pressed myself into a my office chair. The job is done, the plane is carefully landed on the runway. My respect to the members of the heavenly profession!!!
What are you on about? ATC told them after they had already landed to take RW33R exit but the crew programmed BTV to slow down for Romeo and were doing 70 knots passing 33R. Taxiway Romeo is after RW33R so they did not have time to slow down suddenly to vacate RW33R, BTV did exactly what it was programmed to do.
this is why i still would prefer a 4 engine Aircraft, and not an ETOPS 2 engine Airplane for Atlantic Crossing. YES i know that the Charles Lindberg´s Spirit of St Louis had Single Engine, Powered by a Wright Whirlwind J-5C 223-hp radial engine from 1923 (!)
4 engines planes have also suffered from all engine flameout due to volcanic debris and fuel starvation. So why is it actually safer? Having 4 engines means are twice as likely to have an engine fail than a twin engined plane
Pilot - What are we doing today? Other pilot - Take off and then turn around and land on the runway. Me - Isn’t the whole point of these to test the pilots and not give them any hint to what type of failure they will have??
If the checklist requires oxygen masks, I'm curious why its not the first thing on the checklist? If oxygen was a concern then surely it should be the first thing you take care of no?
The cabin does not depressurise rapidly when the engines fail. The priority is to try and attempt an engine restart until the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000ft. Then oxygen becomes a concern
