Captain Tadeusz Wrona immediately became the people's hero. Here are two fun facts: #1 at the moment of that belly landing he was still a competing glider pilot (some aviation experts raised it as an argument for much better chances of even approach and touchdown); #2 his surname "Wrona" translates into "crow" hence the slogan coined after the incident "fly like an eagle, land like a crow".

The runway had more soap and bubbles on it than a party in Vegas.

@ESaboHowGravityWorks Год назад

Being an electrician, I can't tell how many times I found a tripped circuit breaker that looked like it was in the normal position. You have to physically test them with a gentle touch and then they will go to the trip indicated position. Possibly the jolt of the landing was enough to allow the stuck breaker to then pop out. It's more likely the cleaning crew nudged the breaker open without it being fully popped out. I say this because when reset, the gear dropped. If that breaker had tripped on a fault, it would have most likely tripped again as soon as it was reset.

@niggasjit 9 месяцев назад

Great points made 👌

@thewhitefalcon8539 8 месяцев назад

Don't know about planes, but normal circuit breakers have the trip mechanism only loosely connected to the lever because people like to hold the levers in the ON position and the breaker needs to trip anyway so your house doesn't burn down.

@jasonmurdoch9936 8 месяцев назад

Has happened to me before more than once very very true

@pcka12 7 месяцев назад

Difficult to understand why the crew didn't manually 'trip out' the appropriate breakers then reset, which is rather what you would do in a household fault, because if there is a short, the breaker will drop out immediately. Note that I say 'breakers' because they generally exist in hierarchies.

I appreciate the tunnel vision experiment because I noticed nothing in the background. It really helps people not be so quick to shove blame on the F/O and call him incompetent. If we are told to focus in on something (Foxtrot 6 circuit breaker or the apple) we won't notice other abnormalities around us (Alpha 1 circuit breaker or the tail fin and cats in the background). I've always appreciated how you always try and give us a reasonable explanation as to why someone may do something when pilots make mistakes, rather than just calling them bad and leaving it there

@whoknows8225 Год назад

it's a bit of a misleading one tho.. you're told to watch the apple, of course you're going to ignore the rest.... but looking at breakers is something totally different.

@Lapisia Год назад

@@whoknows8225 The officer was told to look at a specific breaker, and they were already in a high stress environment (2 unexpected malfunctions + just before landing + waiting for 20 min in an already time-constrained circumstance) that would've severely affected his perception of the peripheral vision. We have an incredibly narrow field of sight that we can focus on at a time, so a breaker 30 cm away from the focal point would be far enough to just go unnoticed in a stressful situation like this. Ofc, we can always blame the pilot for not noticing, but it's really unproductive to blame what is biologically hardwired in literally everybody.

Thank you for this. My father , years ago told me of his own experience similar to this: he was a line engineer for MEA in the 70's in Beirut. He was inspecting a project on what i assume was a 727, that had replaced a hydraulic valve in the system, he went into cockpit to check the work, to sign off on it, and noticed a flap was extended while sitting there in the hangar, he knew that wasn't correct as the gear was down obviously but the flap was in the wrong, or opposite position a to what it should be. He tested the hydraulic pressure and all was fine, but wouldn't explain the position of the flap. He asked waht work had been done, inspected it and all was as should be, excepting the flap. The aircraft was due to depart imminently, disregarding the screaming management, he grounded the plane and began the project again. Replaced once again the same valve, and this time the flap ended up in the correct position once pressured up. The valve was sent to inspectors and found to be assembled incorrectly, somehow in reverse. Had they taken off, he said once the gear went up, it would not have come down, this too would have culminated in a gear up landing. We have a letter from management commending my father for his actions and thanking him for his perseverance. This video confirms my father's similar story. Thank you.

No disrespect to the crew, but it was very different from the Hudson - this crew had full engine power available and plenty of time to prepare and make their choices, *and* a wheels-up landing on a runway is far less critical than in water, no risk of digging in and cartwheeling the plane.

@MikkoRantalainen 2 года назад

I was aware of the change blindness / selective attention (the original test with gorilla) so I did notice the tail fin. However, trying to be aware of the surroundings caused me to be off-by-one for the juggling so I failed the main task by trying to be aware of the surroundings. It's easy to imagine that under stress you would need focus on the main task so much that you would fail to notice anything abnormal nearby.

@MentourPilot 2 года назад

Yep! It’s not easy

@fighteer1 2 года назад

That's a good point. I was also looking for other things going on precisely because I know how the test works, but I did completely ignore counting the juggles. It seems like what is needed here is a separate person performing the main task while another specifically looks for other anomalies.

@omally 2 года назад

I watched the juggling (Bravo!) THREE TIMES and was only able to see the tail fin on the second attempt 😂

@MikkoRantalainen 2 года назад

I did watch the sequence a couple of extra times and I can see the fin, the pole getting shorter (imagine that being the fuel indicator!) and one of the street signs changing a couple of times. I still cannot see the kitty anywhere - can somebody give a timestamp and color to look for? *Update:* found it: bottom right corner around 18:05 but it's rendered under the RU-vid user interace in case you have the controls visible on the screen. In addition, the graphics is pretty dim so it cannot be seen if you have lots of screen glare.

@bencze465 2 года назад

I counted 11 and a miss so not sure if i was 12 really, and seen the fin but not the cat. I knew what was the point beforehand (gorilla video). I think the more important the task the more tunnel vision is because you're really doing your utmost best to do that task. I can't imagine punishing people for it would help at all. I know people don't take their jobs this seriously in general and that's an issue as well but I wish in corporate world managers would have this mindset of learning from experiences and improving processes. Instead you screw up if you're unlucky you lose your job and it seems to be affected more by luck than weighting whether how much you can really be blamed.

Not a pilot or aircraft mechanic but the name “ Battery Bus distribution” describes it well if you are used to the term. In electrical distribution systems a “BUS” is the main line that feeds all the sub lines. Think of it like your home electrical panel. It has a “Main Breaker” that feeds power from the line to your home panel. The panel is your “Distribution Bus” On the panel are several circuit breakers that feed individual circuits, lighting, heat, receptacles etc. Normal an overload or ground will trip the individual breaker such as an outlet circuit that has too many devices consuming. But in some instance the main breaker can be tripped. So if you went looking for why your microwave has no power and you find that it’s breaker is closed and look no further you won’t know. But if you stepped back looked at the big picture and saw then main breaker you would see the problem. In this case the “Battery Bus Distribution” breaker fed power to other circuits including the back gear extension. I would like to know what else was on that bus. Should have been more systems not functioning.

@bobd2659 2 года назад

Also not an expert, but I'd think (if I designed it) there would be some non-critical systems drawing power from the same BUSS. IE, using the power where it's close/convenient/available, like coffee makers. In that case, the 'major' system draw would get as much power as it needed when needed, and any non-critical system would draw the power when the major system was not in use. Like an A/B switch, or a priority switch. Hospitals have something similar, in a double socket one of them is for 'critical' equipment (and will be powered by generator when needed) and one is non-critical and won't unless replugged. An ice storm taught me this in high school!

@sprky777 2 года назад

Probably other systems were still running on main not backup. But if they had tested other backup functions they may have discovered the power loss. Why wasn't the breaker status reported to the fault monitoring system?

Peter, I'm a fellow pilot and this has to be the best explanation of task-related tunnel vision I have ever seen. Great job! And as always, a fascinating video. Thank you :)

@jordanhenshaw 2 года назад

I'm suspicious of that explanation. I just don't buy that tunnel vision adequately explains how a bright-white strip would be completely missed when it was that close. The tunnel vision explanation doesn't work very well because most of you is desperately looking for that white band, not for the specific breaker the engineer is talking about. You're just going to be desperately scanning for a white band. You're going to be desperately looking for anything out of the ordinary. And then you'll find the exact one the engineer is talking about once you're sure there aren't any white bands around. An important thing to consider about electrical problems is that turning stuff off and then turning it back on again has a tendency to solve a lot of problems. The likelihood that the circuit breaker popped because something broke during the landing is quite high, given that the entire plane was totaled as a result of damage coming from that landing. The original issue was probably something very complicated that was solved by shutting the plane down and rebooting. The random circuit breaker that got popped was probably unrelated to the issue with the gear. I would imagine that they didn't try the gear before they pushed that breaker back in. I strongly suspect it would have gone down anyway at that point in time.

During one of my first night flights in flight school, my instructor and i were practising circuits and landings and everything was going well. He demonstrated a pattern with all the correct speeds, ctaf radio calls, and landing checklist flows and after that he handed me the controls and i did 2 circuits with touch and gos. But then on my third circuit, when i started to configure our little DA40 for landing according to the checklist, i noticed that the flaps which were electronic werent working, so i did a go around and started looking through the checklists but failed to find anything since i was nervous at this point. So i asked my instructor for help and he just told me to do a flapless landing as we had practised a couple times earlier. So i did that, came in about 10knots faster than normal, floated down the runway a bit, but finally landed and came to a stop. Then later after we taxied back to the apron, he took out his flashlight and showed me the flaps circuitbreaker which he had pulled out during that last circuit and funnily enough i had supposedly "checked" all circuit breakers in as part of the landing checklist memory items. It was pretty funny and embarrassing but all in all a great learning experience for i've never gotten complacent with any of the memory items and since this felt like a real in flight failure i learned to be more calm with troubleshooting things in the future.

I think the foam could help with the landing, for one if sparks come off the different parts of the plane, they're going to go into a medium which helps to keep them from catching anything on fire, so that way the fire dept. only has to worry about where the plane is. But foam also bonds with itself to form a barrier and I believe it's mixed with water if I remember from my lessons on fire fighting, I think this would for one, cool the cement, two it's helping to wet it down and put a protective layer there which I think all this reduces friction and cuts down on the amount of sparks shooting off the components making contact with the cement. It's hard to say for sure without doing a bit of testing but I have to imagine it helped the plane slide a little easier which probably helped it stay on a straight path and stay on the runway. Also, in the case of leaking lubricants or fuels which could burn, the foam is already down to help put it out immediately. Once again, this helps to minimize small fires which could be away from where the plane stops and once again the fire dept. needs to focus only on where the plane is. That's my take.

@amjan 3 месяца назад

Exactly. I can't imagine how the foam wouldn't help mitigate all the effects of such landing.

@ParotrickIa 3 месяца назад

You have to take into consideration that we are talking about an 82,000 kg (approx with all souls on board) plane coming in to land at a speed of approximately 278 km/h. At that speed the body will displace the foam very quickly to the point where it is almost negligible. Along with the fact that the aerodynamic drag pushing down with all that weight. The foam is just about 50 or 60 mm and it is a fluid so it dissipates pretty quickly as well especially as runways are made to let fluids flow away from it. WHen you run the simulations, the effects tend to be almost negligible.

Also; at least for me being in Europe, industrial breakers are either massive things with obvious handles to indicate their position, with big colour indicaturs, or the same household model Mentour shows in the beginning, with a red and green colour + a visible handle that has a normalized direction as well (up for ON and down for OFF, that might varies depending on the country tho). So not only are we less pressured, but also, the indications are much more visible. Let's add that all fuse panels here at are least 80cm above the floor level, unlike the plane fuses that were basically at feet level. And white to indicate it popped out? If we're to believe the picture Mentour used, the labelling is also white; meaning that they could have mixed the white colour of the popped breaker with just the labeling of the breakers.

@justcommenting4981 Год назад

Probably would have been a decent idea in this case with the time they had. There are a lot of breakers to check though and not much room to maneuver in checking them. If they checked all of them it's still very possible they would have missed that one because it's so recessed in the corner and low. They handled it well and delivered a safe outcome.

(red is more usual, but it seems that plane cockpits are not well lit, especially for night flights, so orange would be more visible. Or maybe even reflective yellow) Then, instead of pop-out breaker, use lever breakers, that are usually easier to tell if they are up and down.

This minor details can turn out so important. I was working on the engine-service factory of KLM in the mid 80's as a mechanic. We got overwhelmed with reparing burning-sections of mainly 747 engines at the time. They used to crack along their rivets. This burning-section was only attached to the core with about 400 very small aluminum-alloy rivets (~2.5mm diameter). But this section kept cracking needing a lot of damage-repair. Once we repaired an engine/plane who was grounded after an engine flame-out/shut-off during take-off. It turned out that more than half of the rivets of the combustion/burning chamber had broken off leaving the combustion/burning chamber dangling and vibrating with lots of false air intoduced. This caused the induced flame-out. I dived into this. It turned out the rivets used till this time were far too long. They deformed and bended when clinking them in. But it was demanded (Boeing/engine) practise so they just went on doing this. I got permission from KLM-chiefs to rivet the whole combustion-chamber of this plane/engine according my proposed smaller rivets. It was an immediate succes. We were done re-riveting in no time and we never saw this failure back later. Soon we got the formal directory of Boeing to never use the old rivets again. You can imagine when a combustion/burning section seperates from its core. It nearly happend in this incident.

Also, there are routine daily checks which engineers have to do which involve pulling circuits breakers on one or more panels. It would be a real pain if you had to open up panels every time to do this. There are only so many hours in a day and engineers have multiple aircraft to look after each day. Yes, there are reasons for and against, but history has led us to the current solutions. Some CBs panels now have raised sections between the rows of circuit breakers to stop things like flat-sided crew bags hitting the circuit breakers.

I am not surprised at your most excellent delivery style and the superior workers you have amassed with your team of helpers. I suspect that you do not get as many accolades as you seriously deserve. I subscribed to your channel a long time ago and do not regret watching all of your content . I am never bored of listening to your synopsis and commentary on any of the reports that you & your team generate. I am not an aviator nor even a recent passenger since I am over 70 now. But I really enjoy your. . straight forward approach to giving facts and cutting through the B.S. usually attributable to policing agencies. I know that you keep reiterating that they are there to promote air safety, but the way they come across is quite brash and confrontational at times even accusatory towards pilots decision making skills. Once again thank you for your dedication to your craft and be safe out there...

I would recommend a master breaker light which illuminates if ANY circuit breaker is popped. Perhaps even a light for every row and column to indicate where to look.

@Dingeraye1 2 месяца назад

I teach on this aircraft, and actually flew this tail number. When I teach, I point out that re-checking circuit breakers when things don't turn out the way the checklist says they should is good airmanship. Checking circuit breakers is not part of this particular Boeing checklist (or any others I can think of). I didn't start teaching that until this incident. All that said, these guys did a really professional job under difficult circumstances. Great video as usual!

That selective attention thing happened to me the other day. I was driving off-road and up hill and hit some ice and my car started to slide. I told my friends and we decided that yes that as its uphill and steep and icy we wont be able to make it through, so we turned back, but during this whole situation I never checked my 4 wheel drive system and I latter realized that I was in 2 wheel drive.

@JohnAdams-qc2ju Год назад

If you can't even tell if your (depends on the car and 4x4 or AWD system - hopefully you had a real 4x4 system as AWD =/= 4x4) front wheels are not pulling/slipping to notice your not in 4x4 then you shouldn't be driving offroad. Just like a plane all drivers should know how their model of car works at a basic system level and be able to tell if a major system if it isn't working. Not trying to be harsh but you do that and slide off a moutain killing everyone you would of wished you knew the car and systems and could of avoided it. Yes most places don't require this level of thinking for a drivers lic but should be done.

That's not selective attention. That's ignorance of your vehicles capabilities and features, inexperience, or just lack of basic mechanical problem solving skills. I'm not trying to insult you. Some people are not wired with the desire to understand what makes things work. Most folks with 4 wheel drive can't wait for the opportunity to use it. Haha!

An excellent demonstration of how tunnel vision can affect one’s mind.

I can immediately see two issues that this failure illustrates: * Every system failure checklist should have a list of circuit breakers to check - not just those for the system itself, but everything upstream of it, too * The circuit breakers need better monitoring and feedback. Two obvious improvements: have the system track and display a list of open breakers, and give each breaker a warning LED that comes on when it is open.

@Mosern1977 5 месяцев назад

These airplanes seem very sofisticated, but still they lack some simple items like this. Just a small window showing list over broken circuit brakers should be a thing.

@katego370 2 года назад

Those pilots really are masters in their craft! One would expect at least some serious injuries in such a case. I think the confidence of the purser is what kept the cabin calm. People are herd animals, when the leader gets stressed, everybody panics. This also shows that no system can replace a pilot. In this day and age with technology taking over, it's when things go horribly wrong that actual humans with hands and brains can change the outcome either way.

@TJasienski 2 года назад

The captain, apart of his experience in airliners, had also a massive experience in flying a glider as a leisure activity. That might have contributed to his outstanding manual flying skills that allowed that level of control during the landing. This is in stark contrast with some pilots who rely on autopilot too much and lost their basic skills.

@jfbeam 2 года назад
