How do aircraft land in fog?! 

Dang, Skippy :-O !

Sounds like you were pretty close… lol

Been on many flights but don't get chills from these, rather than informed about hell well these guys are trained.

😂😂😂

Many old aircrafts may autoland when are perfectly trimmed. (In very good weather of course).

@@adamw.8579 Any aircraft will auto land eventually, the question is just how rough... But why not, in still weather, plane with a large ground effect should flare on its own I guess. Kind of.

Old yoke ;-)

Wouldn't this be more like "replace aircraft"?

I do what I can! 😂

I just wish it was a real green pillow instead of one wrapped in a green bath robe :P

The white chair in the rear completes the set...well done!

Remember that port wine is red. port lights are red

@@TheRealPlato I remember that port/left/red are shorter than starboard/right/green

Yes, and now you know how it works!

Indy has the highest level lighting system. It's got all the bells and whistles. What you see out the side window is not what the pilots see. See my post above. The -800 might have CAT II or III approved. I don't know. What airline was it? I live and fly out of Indy and we did have some heavy fog several weeks ago.

I don't know of any commercial aircraft certified for synthetic vision. HUD is approved on certain aircraft and the pilots need special training. The approach charts specify aircrew certification to use that approach.

Shows how well he understands/

Yeah clicked like cause he's one of the few youtubers that is as good as Captain Joe in explaining technical aviation content. I must say I think Mentour would be an excellent Physics or Mathematics instructor as well.

@@funtimenetwork Both are awesome as well as Dutch Pilot Girl

KruddyKamikaze well he is a pilot lol

I am very average.....

I never mind a delay due to technical difficulties. Take all the time you need.

well safety is more important than time once I was landing in Portland in dense fog when we landed I still thought we were still really high up I was surprised when I found out we landed, I thought we were like 5 or 10 mins from touchdown.

That’s it, I’m not flying unless he’s the pilot!!!

I have landed a few times in Halifax with zero visibility, it can be a little disconcerting. And once recently at St Johns in a WestJet Dreamliner(medical emergency).

Hahaha! Not much I hope! 👍🏻

Yup, same for me hear hear :)

Who needs stinking cable when you have Mentour Pilot.

A life...

More of that theme song!

wow 4 attempts is a lot (tiring for the pilot) usually you go to the alternate after 2.

Thank you! That’s awesome to hear!

I am so sorry. My condolences.

Great! I’m happy you like them!

Excellent! Best of luck my friend.

Thank you! That’s great to hear. I always try to get better and I will try to be here as long as you guys want me to.

Great! See you in the app my friend!

Yes

Excellent! See you inside the app if you need help and support!

I can't even apply because my color vision is not 100% perfect 😩

Thank you Brian! You Patreons are invaluable for the channel!

Excellent!

Great! I hope it satisfied your curiosity

The reason why this is the case is exactly the same reason that primary radar works, pretty much any dielectric boundary (that is to say anywhere mediums with different dielectric constants meet) will result in some radio waves being reflected. The strength of the reflection depends on many factors like the frequency, the thickness of each medium, the difference in dielectric constant between each medium etc. This is, however, a problem for anything that relies on precise timing, phase measurement or similar to operate as it results in multipath echos ie the receiver will be bombarded with many copies of the signal each displaced in time and phase from the true signal. You can even experiment with this somewhat yourself gps receivers will tend to be more accurate in say the middle of a clear open field than in the middle of an urban area particularly one with lots of tall steel-framed buildings etc and multipath echos are part of the reason as your GPS receiver relies on precisely timing multiple radio signals with sub-nanosecond precision so having the strongest copy of the signal randomly change from the true (direct signal) to the reflection off some random building. This and the fact the GPS signals are broadcast by satellites is why tall and steel framed buildings are worse for accuracy it is relatively easy to pick out the true signal if you have a clear line of sight to the transmitter. In that case, it is highly unlikely the true signal as any reflection will generally be much weaker as it will only have been attenuated by atmospheric scattering (baring some form of external rf interference, a jammer for example). The problems arise when the true signal is itself attenuated by encountering other mediums too then the strongest signal may well be a reflection particularly if the reflecting object is large, close to either the transmitter or receiver or worse both, and a good electrical conductor the more likely this is also. For those reasons aircraft which are covered in metallic surfaces and in the case of commercial aircraft are generally rather large would be particularly problematic. They would certainly not be something you would want to have positioned close to either the transmitting antenna or receiving antenna. Thus the end of the runway would be the worst possible place to have them as the ILS transmitting antennas must by necessity be positioned close to the end of the runway. Worse still the interference they create would actually grow exponentially worse the closer the landing aircraft came to the interfering aircraft. It goes without saying that for an ILS this is the exact opposite of what the system needs to achieve, the greatest position is required when the aircraft is closest to the runway, which is precisely when aircraft holding to depart on the taxiway at the departure end of the runway would reflect the strongest interfering signal. Worse it is also the time when the aircraft holding at the hold line in the #1 position is most likely to block the line of sight between the ILS and the receiver as it's angular size is at it's largest and thus so is the obscured area of the field of view. This would create the ideal conditions for a reflection to overpower the true signal and trick the ILS on the aircraft into locking on to the wrong signal and thus miscalculating its position at the most critical moment whether a reflection from another part of the aircraft blocking the main signal or even more likely a second aircraft holding behind that one (as more of that aircraft that the antenna can see is exposed to the receiver).

Thank you! I’m happy you liked it!

He's just playin'.

Excellent! Great to hear!
