www.balticaa.com/ Baltic Aviation Academy (Lithuania) comes back with introductory aviation tutorials together with Pranas Drulis, ATPL integrated students, who this time will explain how to conduct belly-landing on Boeing 737 CL.
You are absolutely right. Tough in a real life landing with the gear up AKA Belly Landing, it will be very different. That simulator is the closest you can get to, flying a Boeing 737, it is very realistic, but also way different. In real life the pilot has the responebility of hundreds of passengers and crew, and in the same time landing a big an heavy air craft without landing gear. So in a real life situation this would be a way more brutal experience.
In real life, this maneuver would be done by captain and copilot. Or even just a member of the cabin crew. Not having to read AND manage the system streamlines the task a lot. It looked uncomfortable to constantly having to grab and put back the handbook. I wonder why they did not use two students for this training.
Pranas, do not waste your time with this kind of people. They just don't deserve your attention. Don't worry and keep up doing what you do. Simply ignore them! Thank you for all your effort and good material.
One critical concern not vocalized during no gear emergency landing. After touch down once speed go down far enough and rudder becomes ineffective, because there is no front wheel pilot has no control over airplane direction of movement. Skidding off runway on grass might mean disintegration of fuselage, while staying on it hopefully only minor insignificant fire. For this reason it is absolutely critical to land ideally at the center of the runway and keep plane ideally lined up as long as possible. This would be primary concern of a real life 737 pilot. Otherwise, good landing Captain!
Concern is not only evenness of terrain but also softness. Bare in mind we talking about 100+ tones, resting on 3 points (engines and tail) going 20-40 and more kts. Imagine one of engine slipping into shallow depression and burying itself in the ground, hitting tip of large buried boulder or perhaps shallow covered by the grass ditch or even some airport's installation for that matter as: solidly installed in concrete bed lightning, heavy electrical metal box etc. I suppose even on perfectly flat terrain softness of the ground could be enough for one engine burying itself in the ground. 100+ tons even at low speed constitutes enormous momentum.
That is wrong, the 737 classic model, is steared on the ground, by a little black wheel on the captains left side, but not with the rudders. But indeed yes, very nice landing captain:)
@@YAB116 No the comment is correct. You don't have nose wheel steering because you don't have a nose wheel. So, the only option you have is the rudder and as the comment says, that is ineffective under a certain airspeed
Anyway if he makes a mistake it's understandable, it's not easy to perform an emergency procedure alone in a jet cockpit,explain it and making a video at the same time, this guy has excellent videos!
Oh, they had the new invisible foam. And that was a very smooth emergency landing. I would have expected a little more noise and shaking from that simulator. ;-)
Do you know what is the best about these videos? ...They show clearly all the instruments (in a close up) so there is not dude about what they are doing. Thanks BAA Training.
Pranas is doing all the job alone, and let's remember the B735 is a 2-pilot-certified-acft. Therefore in real life what he showed in this video will be much more easy, since the pilot-flying will be just doing that: FLY the aircraft. He well not have to make all the other things. :) Thank you Pranas.
trim is the angle that the wings can be adjusted more trim points the nose down and less up when in auto pilot the trim is automatically changed to climb, decent or stay on a level flight hope this helps
Trim ('Stab Trim') on most large jets involves moving the entire horizontal stabilizer's leading edge up and down, within a defined range of travel. On smaller airplanes it is called "Elevator" trim, usually using a 'trim tab' on the trailing edge of the Elev surface. "Trimming" in the pitch axis, by either method, relieves elevator control forces as airspeed and power settings are changed...thus, "trimming" to a neutral control feel. The B737 has manual & electric trim actuation capability.
Trim is just another term for balance, according to where the centre of gravity of the aircraft is as it flies. This will depend on how it is loaded, in terms of where passengers are seated and bags/cargo are loaded. Wing flaps and angles as well as tailplane attitude are adjustable to compensate for changes in balance during flight - e.g. as fuel is burned during flight, depending where the reservoirs are fore and aft, it can affect the balance conditions - as well as fuel efficiency ..
dude, so much respect for you! What do you fly? Who do you fly for? I am only a glider pilot and fly small ASK 21's, I may want to be a pilot when I'm older! I wish you all the best! Don't worry about this child that has "40 years" of experience, I have only had 19 glider launches and been flying for about 4 months, and I am not that childish.
As a 747-400 Captain with 3M flight hours I never use the emergency manual (or any manual, for that matter.) My thing is to just feel stuff in my heart and fly accordingly. Total seat of the pants kind of thing.
Hey thank you for all yout videos. amazing! and i want to add, that your english is very clear and i understand much more than other nativ english peopels speaking :D thank you and go on
The bleeds off has nothing to do with pressurisation, it is prevent smoke from the engines scraping n the runway from entering the cabin. Since the landing altitude is set the outflow valve will do the job of equalising the pressure.
@Affolée, it is a 737, either 300/400 EFIS. Your notation of thinking it was a 767 is because the EADI and EHSI are indeed the same displays as the 767/757. But note no EICAS in the center, but the normal digital version of the analog engine instruments. Also, on the flight guidance panel, noticed A/B autopilots, not the three pushbutton FCC (flight control computers) as the 767. Notice that the three standby instruments here are horizontally, where on the 767/757 are vertically. Good eye, though. As for the video, not sure why the author needed to show this when there are plenty real life gear up landings on YTB. A single gear landing, or a manual reversion landing with some crosswind would have been more interesting to watch.
The boeing is a much nicer aircraft in emergencys in my opinion. Why? Because the only beep the boeing made was when it came to a stop. On the airbus. There are 1000 bomming noises going crazy. I hate that
When put under stress there is phenomenon when your brain will prioritise what you see visually and this sense can be overloadedThis is why the Airbus beeps so loud, there is no fool proof method but it does improve your chances of drawing your attention to then reacting to a situation. You can stop the beeps by confirming the message.You can activate this system or disable it in both aircrafts so what your saying is not really valid it's just specific to how and which system there pilots were trained in the sim.
This is a great video and well handled by the pilot. Would you not though, raise the landing gear handle again before approach? Wouldn't want the gear to suddenly start working 100ft from the threshold!!
Pranas, as many past emergencies can tell you, they don't quite have *all* of the possible emergencies listed in the QRH. :D See UA232, Qantas 32, and others.
good for you pranas....tell it like it is....dont see any videos of kris in a multimillion dollar thompson simulator going through the qrh and actually doing it....love your vids, they are great
I don't know, kind of a good idea considering if something happens to a co-pilot and the pilot is on his own (or vice versa). I think every pilot should know how to perform on their own, it's always possible they might have to in real life.
Every time I fly its on a 737, only once I caught a 727. I trust the 737 especially the newer ones they are smoother. Almost 20 flights on 737 and I think its a wonderful airplane. what is apilots opinion? I think the Newer 737 is far better.
Could you reconstruct the ANA flight NH-140 when Boeing 737-700 experienced a violent roll after a first officer apparently mistook the rudder trim switch for the cockpit door switch, causing the aircraft to descend 6,000 ft ??
It's the other way around. The flap speeds are speed limits, you can't be above those speeds with that much flap extended or you can damage them. So you set the speed first, then once you've reached that speed, extend the flaps.
Great video. 2:50 LOL: keep in mind that this manual was written in the country, in which it needs to be spelled out that coffee might be hot ;) (no offense!)
Hi there! I've been thinking about what you can do in a real Boeing 737 simulator? Is it possible to program the fast CDU through instruction station? Can you have a saved route in the CDU, which you can enter without having to enter the SID and STAR? Is it possible to "fast moving" plane to approach and bad weather but without having to enter a STAR. Or you must first program the it? Brief what can you program the instructor station?
completed my bloody degree and started flying (done couple of hours) but never heard of "runway foaming". correct me if i am wrong, did he actually say "runway is foamed"?. anyway when I heard this I found this quiet interesting.
the full flight simulators all over the world use generally custom built software by the manufacturer. Nothing even close to Microsoft, X-plane, etc :)
Nice video, I learned a lot. I noticed that in this video - watch?v=h3syTxW85Ik they DID use auto-spoilers which caused the left wing to dip suddenly, smashing the engine into the runway. I wonder if the instruction not to use auto-spoilers in the QRH in this video was due to lessons learned from that incident.
I realise that I am going to sound like an absolute noob here and I'm really sorry, but can someone please tell me what trim is and how it helps the aircraft?
If you're asking why he pulls the fire switches after the landing, it's because there was no fire on the plane, but he pulls it so that the agents discharge incase a fire was to break out during the exit (this can be caused when the plane lands since during a belly landing it lands on it's engines which can create fires later)
