One of the most time-critical decisions a pilot will ever take under normal circumstances is to reject a landing at low altitude. It requires instant decision making, great handling skills and timing.....but what if the aircraft then refuses to follow the pilots commands and instead does something completely unexpected.....Stay tuned.

I’ve endlessly watched air crash investigation since I was a kid as I find it really interesting to see how people figure out the sequence of events/failures in systems that lead to these kinds of incidents, but since discovering your channel a I’ve found that I’m noticing where I didn’t before the tone of voice used in that show is way more overdramatic/tension inducing than is necessary (and as a very nervous flyer… probably not unrelated to my long history of watching that show) I’ve found watching your videos a lot more comforting while not losing the any of interesting information.

I was on a flight about a month ago that had a bird strike on the right hand engine, and it happened when the pilots were past V1 on the takeoff roll. Because of your channel I was able to explain to the other passengers what happened, why we were climbing out slower than normal, and what the pilots were going to do about it. I was able to reassure them that we were still safe. We returned safely to the airport. They all thought I was a pilot but I told them that no, I just watch your channel constantly! So thank you!

@the_real_espada Месяц назад

What happened to the engine, did it burn out or malfunction due to bird strike? I thought engines are routinely tested for bird strikes and shouldn't affect its thrust.

@justwantresults8768 Месяц назад

@@the_real_espada 40 years of engine company experience here, but no pilot training. Yes, the engines are tested during certification for various bird strike encounters, but impossible to test for every scenario (think USAir and Capt, Sully on the Hudson river). At that point it is pilot training and procedures: evaluate engine parameters, alternate airports, aircraft altitude and performance and make a decision. If the bird is ingested in the engine core, there may be a smell in cabin since that's where pressurized air comes from. Still, an engine shutdown is only based on observed parameters. Bottom line: it's the pilots call, as it should be.

TAP’s safety standards are exceptionally high and has been very proactive in updating its fleet, incorporating new aircraft models that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency. This includes adding next-generation aircraft like the Airbus A330neo and the A320neo family to their fleet. One of the safest airlines in the world.

For instance, I was in a flight to PDL in which we were surprised at the last-minute by a thunderstorm and the pilot was able to land the plane safely.

There's only about 1/1000 go-arounds, so that's about 1/1000 go-arounds being executed after reversers selected. That _is_ something you can improve by better training.

@BlueSkyUp_EU Месяц назад

@@tomhejda6450A go around is not the only situation when this design flaws can have deadly consequences. What about a faulty sensor that would show left side in the air even though is not? And why is the system set up to preserve thrust reverses while airborne? That's extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed asap.

@MBSteinNL Месяц назад

@@BlueSkyUp_EU Thing is that if the reverse thrust disappears while the wheels aren't bound down by the spoilers some unexpected behaviour can occur. The issue here is more that asymmetric commands can be executed in this regard. Which can be partially explained by the memory items of the system regarding delayed execution. Something which has killed people before with both Boeing and Airbus airplanes. Especially the 2-3 seconds after an unknown/unintended bounce remains a safety hazard it seems.

@ByzantineDarkwraith Месяц назад

@@BlueSkyUp_EU I don’t think it was intended to preserve the reverse thrust when airborne (specifically when airborne and the thrust lever is commanding the reversers to be stowed, I mean), because why would they do that on purpose, even though in this case it did have that effect, and it is a serious issue.

I lived for a while near Marrickville in Sydney. You could sit in Elmore Park there and you'd be directly under the flightpath for the Sydney Airport. We'd have a picnic and marvel at the 747s which seemed so low and close it felt like you had to duck! In Newtown, every time a jet came in to land, conversation in the lounge room or kitchen would pause until you could hear again. You got so used to this bizarre ritual that it was automatic and you didn't think about it but it would have been very strange to people new to the area; everyone sits there mute for 30 seconds as the house rumbles and shakes and then they continue from exactly where the conversation left off mid sentence 😂

I am a Captain with SAS, and happened to land that very same day in CPH, about 30 min prior to TP754. I do confirm gusty winds and rwy 30. Flying the A320 series these days, but with vast prior Boeing experience, I also confirm that most pilots on the Airbus will choose flaps full in gusty weather, as this gives better engine spool up and better tail strike clearance. On that day, as we requested pushback for the return to Stockholm, we were told the airport was temporarily closed due to an ongoing event. Once we got approval for push and start, we were told to hold short of taxiway Z to let TP754 pass ahead of us. We clearly saw the reverser doors hanging out on engine nr 1 as they passed with a bunch of rescue vehicles in tow... Great video by the way, as always, Petter.

Not to mention that as a lay person it is often difficult to grasp the importance or significance of certain data points, or sequence of events. You also provide some much needed background information that explains certain systems and/or procedures, as well as the justification for those procedures. Plus, you also provide an insider perspective on how the lessons learned impact and shape the present and future of aviation. That is very fascinating for me. THANK YOU!!!!

They can already be difficult to diagnose when it's just two pieces of code operating in their own virtual world; this is a piece of code, heavy machinery, and human input.

@hilgertbos742 Месяц назад

Edge case*, not race condition

@aaronwilcox2780 Месяц назад

Plus there didn't seem to be any comparison being done on commanded state of the thrust reversers for the two engines, perhaps on the (unwarranted) assumption that the two ECUs would never receive conflicting sensor inputs.

@andlabs Месяц назад

@@hilgertbos742 I'm not sure I agree - in this case the only difference between the other 1-in-a-millions and this one was the point in time when the go-around was triggered, which is a more of a timing issue between those systems. I would however say the need to do the go-around after engaging thrust reversers (that is, all the 1-in-a-millions together collectively) constitutes an edge case.

@Vincent_Sullivan Месяц назад

@@aaronwilcox2780 I agree! As an electronics engineer with a bit of programming experience and a bit of background in the aviation industry the Left/Right isolation of WOW and reverser logic really screamed out to me! Didn't the people doing the logic talk to a few pilots to understand what can happen when an aircraft lands? Assuming Petter's diagrams are correct, having the Right thrust reverser co-ordinated only with the Right gear. (and Left reverser with Left gear...) doesn't pass even the most rudimentary "sniff" test as it sets up the exact condition Petter says you want to avoid: Extreme asymmetric thrust. How did this ever get past a design review let alone get certified? Or did I misunderstand something?

Great video as always :) and well timed for me as I have just flown with TAP this week and the pilots arriving into Lisbon had to contend with incredibly poor conditions (rain, high winds, lots of cloud and a lightning strike close by). As much as I was convinced the plane was probably going to crash, they managed to land safely. Commendations to those pilots for holding it together brilliantly :)

You contribute to safety for the whole industry. I even take alot from the airline industry to my job in the transport on the road as trucker. Per example: recently a client complained that she was calling of her earliest customers due to unforeseen delay of the truck. The dispatcher had seen trough my onboard PDA that I was surrounded by heavy traffic on al routes, and that I could not make it on time. So he/she called the store by default. Knowing and agreeing with something I took from your videos; Aviate, navigate, communicate. The store its online buy and collect in the store manager, became angry as I navigated the traffic well, and managed to make it within the smallest margins of time to unload and get everything to the customers. Unjust of her, but I understand why she reacts the way she did. My priority is still, operating the vehicle (truck) safely, navigate using terrain knowledge, experience and prior to start map studies on the route with possible alternatives. Then, only then, communicating my decision and possible ETA to the dispatcher.

@bw162 Месяц назад

Hard to understand why the criteria for reverser deployment or stowing on either engine was specific to the squat switch on just the engine side affected. Logic would suggest that they would not be deployed/stowed unless both squat switches were in the same position.

@xyz-md2mv Месяц назад

Good point

@peterprokop Месяц назад

It is not that easy. If you do that, it might cause other problems: If there is a fault in one of the squat switches, you might have no reverse thrust at all, or it can introduce unwanted delays in reverse deployment when the plane lands in a way where there is insufficient load on one of the gear sets due to crosswinds. You might also introduce other new failure modes in the deployment logic in case one of the computers or sensors monitoring the deployment fails. So before you deploy a solution, you have to check how often these systems fail, or you will end up making things worse by introducing more single points of failure than the current system has. This is one reason why it takes so much time to engineer a fix: You need to account for all the probabilities of components failing or wrong sensor readouts, and think about fail safe conditions and redundancy in the whole system as well.

@bw162 Месяц назад

It didn’t work out to well in this case did it? And to your point, airlines restrict single engine landings to only idle reverse thrust and use max auto braking. And I’ve never experienced a cross wind that with the boards deployed, there wasn’t immediately sufficient weight on the gear struts. If not, you are describing a situation where the aircraft is out of control and continuing the landing would not end well. Not saying that it is “that easy”; just taking exception with your examples.

@freeculture Месяц назад

@@peterprokop the planes are designed and tested to completely stop without reverse thrust, its use is merely to save on brakes and maintenance. This is yet another reason why pilots should not be too quick to engage it as it happened here. Auto brake will do its job either way.

@eileenbauer5266 Месяц назад

I'd like to improve on my previous comment: if the engine control computer (let's call it ECC) gets a signal that the plane has put force onto the plane tires, it should not be a yes or no one time situation. If the reverser is selected and force is applied, then reverser comes on. If a second later, weight is removed, the reverser is closed (turned off). On two engine aircraft, if one engine has reverser open and the other doesn't and it cannot close the reverser then it needs to go to idle

Below an earlier video of Petter's, there was a comment that went roughly like this: "During the landing, the passenger in the seat next to me, clearly an very nervous flier, suddenly shrieked: 'Look out of that window, you can see the runway right there! The aircraft is heading into a totally wrong direction, we are all going to die!' - I calmly explained to that person what a crab landing is, why pilots occasionally do that, and that i learnt that from Petter's videos. That person was super grateful." So i think passengers do sometimes notice when a large-angle crab is executed. Or is this an urbal legend? Admitted, i'm quoting this from hearsay.

I don't really understand why the system built in a way that not only activation, but also deactivation of the reverser is prohibited in air as there is no reason for the latter as I see. OK, you never should find yourself in air with actvated reverser, but if somehow it does happen it seems obvious that it would be handy to able to disengage it. I build way less safety critical systems, than an airplane, but always take care to implement solutions for operating statuses that theoretically never be able to engender as things that theoretically not able to engender may be possible in a way that nobody thought of.

@awesomedn Месяц назад

This story gave me some goose bumps. I’m a software engineer with almost 20 years of experience. I just don’t understand how this possibly wasn’t accounted for during the system design phase. It’s pretty obvious that both engine modes should always match. There should never be a situation when one engine is commanded into a forward thrust mode, while the other is commanded to stay in the reverse mode. If there’s a disagreement between the left and right controlling signals - both engines must remain in their current configuration. Such simple logic would ensure that two engines will never be commanded into different modes

@alexandermonro6768 Месяц назад

Retired embedded systems engineer here. Yes, it shouldn't be possible for one side of the aircraft to "think" that it's on the ground, and so enable reverse thrust, while the other side "thinks" it's airborne, and so inhibits it. Both engines must always be in the same thrust reverse state.

@ivarwind Месяц назад

I was thinking the exact same thing. As he began explaining the split-up system of sensors and engines, I already knew - but couldn't quite believe - what was coming. It seems completely bizarre that anyone would make a system separated up in left and right so that it can think that the one side of the plane is safely on the ground simultaneously with the other side being airborne. Maybe it should still be possible to reverse thrust based on only one sensor - just in case the other sensor is malfunctioning - but obviously this should apply to both engines, and applying full thrust to one engine while the other is in reverse, should not be possible - or be accompanied by some serious alarms!

@TheGrejp Месяц назад

I was looking for a comment like this, it's incredible how no one else seems to be mentioning it. As an electronics engineer it's hard for me to understand why the system is set up like that as well.
