How to land an Aircraft without engines!! Cockpit video 

Ahh, cool! I just landed from a flight with the 787, fantastic aircraft and I’m not surprised it’s similar. Thank you for your kind words!

I think you speak for us all.

@@MentourPilot hey mentor, don't forget to tell us how did you found your flight now that you switch order. 😉

787 is a relatively new animal for Boeing; but lots of “Design Language” and “Operational Philosophies” transfer amongst corporate model ranges. This is true with MANY industries.

That is not surprising. Manufacturers tend to keep relative similarities between models, to my knowledge. Though the 787 is far more advanced, it doesn't mean that the cockpit has to be vastly different, either. It's definitely not a case of Boeing vs Airbus.

He just destroyed the right wing I think...

Indeed.. I have to talk to that guy.. 😂😂

Aren't the emergency vehicles built to go UNDER the wings of most of the larger planes? Yes, it's been years since I've flown, but that was what I was thinking, the way the sim made the truck race by so close to the plane.

@@KECOG on the bigger aircrafts, maybe, but on a 737, I highly doubt that, but I' m not 100% sure. In fact, the 737 wings are pretty low, the truck would be the size of a car...

@@gosp 737 wing isn't that low though, I mean you can walk under it without brushing your hair or anything

Why would yall need to circle to burn fuel? If one engine was working couldnt theyy have landed normally?

@@GuyFromTheSouth I was only a passenger, but my understanding is that if a plane is too heavy, it may damage the structure during touchdown, plus a heavy plane needs a longer distance to stop. Since we were above a heavily urbanized area, the pilot couldn't just dump the fuel. It was a 4 jet plane, so 3 engines were worki g (unless more engines were damaged - we weren't told). It musn't have been all that severe, though at the time everyone onboard went pale.

@@GuyFromTheSouth Long-distance flights usually have a higher take-off weight than the safe landing weight. In any case of an early landing, the aircraft will be too heavy to safely land. So in the case of a "moderate" emergency (an aircraft with 2+ engines can safely fly with one engine out), it needs to decrease weight by either dumping it from the tanks at high altitude or flying circles to burn it (many smaller planes don't have a jettison system). Of course in a more severe emergency like all engine out or with just a little bit of excess weight, an overweight landing is the only or safer option compared to staying in the air. An overweight landing is dangerous because it puts too much load on the landing gear (which could collapse) and brakes (which could overheat and catch fire).

@@TheNewTimeNetwork go around must enter the equation. Is there enough power to take that weight airborne in the event of a bad approach. Less fuel, smaller fire.

@Tournel Henry Chances of me being in a plane crash are 1 to 1000000000 (roughly). Chances of me being paranoid for the duration of the flight due to my irrational phobia are 1:1. So I'd rather get drunk. I agree it makes little sense. But my sense of paranoia doesn't agree.

No *real* birds were harmed while making this video. VFX birds on the other hand...

😂 😂 😂 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂

🅱️ir🅱️

You should!

Indeed, not only that but you would remember the entire crew for the rest of your life.

If you could get into the cockpit.

or a bottle of whiskey each

@Yvan Caravan's Aviation well I'm still alive

😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 that got me in tears!! 😂😂😂😂

Glider Pilot: "Ah yes, we are going to get along just fine today"

I love this 🤣

As a glider pilot i confirm the only thing that can happen is that you run out of altitude or the rope brakes and you have to land with low altitude 😂

Landing: Kamikaze pilots: nonono you have to dive into tower

Bet you'll beat the ambulances by at least 20 minutes!

Traveling at half the speed of smell

One of the best I've heard.😀

Depends on speed and altitude.

As small as a pack of gum.

That's what I feel as well

Ha ha indeed

Eeek!

thought I was the only one feeling like sweating!!!

I use a Benadryl to stay calm and it prevents motion sickness. Double win !

@@GUITARTIME2024 very true. And stops you sneezing over passengers sat next to you

@@GUITARTIME2024 just plz dont take too much- you need to be conscious in the event of a water “landing”. Well even that’s debatable I guess- we can just tape you to your seat cushion and tell you all about it later. 😂

There about 40 MILLION Commercial Flights Each Year... and in the past 100 Years of Aviation, maybe only about 2000 Commercial Plane Crashes... If you do the Math, you are more Statistically Likely to be Hit by Lightning or Win the Lottery.

Thank you! I’m happy you liked it!

@@MentourPilot Best video by far!!! So lucky to get to watch

Thank you! My goal is for people to have zero fear, no matter who is flying! We are all trained like this.

@@MentourPilot sorry but I get back a bit the fear of flying in the past months as I saw a lot of very uncertain situations in your videos and the thumbnails are sometimes quite negative or drastic, like the "over bank", the "engine failure - now what?"- or the "duct tape"- video. Maybe you can read above my concrete questions about the video today that makes me feel not so save, as I don't understand some steps (or should I copy it to here? If you think, yes, that's what I also wrote as a separate question: I'm a layman and maybe I didn't heard each single word you said, but I don't understand how you know how to fly without thrust, how do you know with what sink rate your plane stays in the limits of the required speed, and how do you know this as your weight and the wind is always a different factor??? Does the computer still told you what sink rate you need to reach the runway and how is calculated in this question all the bends you are flying? What would you do, if the only runway you could reach would mean strong, really stormy tail wind, do you guess just the different sink rate then with the higher speed or does the computer calculates all that for you? Would all that be much more difficult at night or low and rainy clouds? )

@@sonnenscheinsommer4754 you have a better chance of winning the lottery than dying in a plane crash

@@mwbgaming28 I don't have a general fear but these concrete questions and negative experiences at flights and airports recently

Mentour Pilot I’m afraid of flying 😭

they did alot. did not see anyone jump out from the fire car thing

I thought the birds were cool, but I didn’t see any actually strike the windscreen. When Sully hit the flock of geese, he said it looked like a Hitchcock movie for a moment out the window.

This has to be the best video Mentour has ever made

That was brilliant. As an aviation enthusiast, this inside look to all the practice and preparation flight crews participate in shows just how safe air travel is, even with inherent risks like bird strikes.

Best video by far!

no its not real its a simulation

@@bullen__1428 wtf

Bullen__ are you illiterate?

Yeah especially since I watched videos with the last recording of black boxes and those same alarms go off it’s horrific.

@@bullen__1428 no it's not real

They make it look easy! The sheer amount of practice, repetition, flight checks, recurrent training, flight physicals and actual flight experience is incredible. The cockpit is, def full of stuff, but they know every switch, and way deep in their minds they know every system on the aircraft. The real challenge is being able to bring all of their knowledge to bear during an emergency, which relies on memory and the "real" but challenging ability to remain cool, and run those checklists, while flying a damaged machine. Pilots love flying, and the majority of them invest their entire lives into being able to do just that, replete with every challenge. I was raised by a pilot, a very darned good one.

He had enough altitude to pull it off. Do it again 2000ft lower.

@@court2379 He had too much altitude actually, as he explained. That was an equally difficult scenario because you may overshoot the runway and you can't just dive the plane too quickly toward the runway as the speed would be too fast and the break won't be able to hold, or in worst case the landing gears may break. And as he explained, with too low altitude you can't turn around to land on the runway. The only option then is to ditch into the water or land on a field.

Correct 😂😂

@@Secret_Moon could do a slide slip

@@Secret_Moon the crew that landed on a lever in Florida, weren't they flying a 737? If I recall correctly the pilot slipped the a/c to line up with his chosen touchdown point.

.... And now you're terrified???? - I'm joking .... he is very, very good and shows ultra dedication to his craft

Reassuring to understand just how much thought and effort goes into safety in civil aviation, I assume.

Yes, thats a big point! I was never scared of flying, but after watching mentours videos, I am constantly smiling cus the safety is so big. Even minor things, that made me think if this is really ok, or how much the wings can bend, how much turbulence an aircraft can handle... I feel so much safer now.

I've introduced his channel to a couple of friends and family with fear of flying. It's been an amazing source of help and relief for them. Mentor may want to consider a fear of flying course. He's extremely good at easing one's fears

Thanks to aircrash investigations it help me

Excellent! I’m really happy you liked it!

That can feel like 3 seconds for the people involved

Very simulated, yes. I was hoping it would give you that type of feeling and that it would explain the importance of keeping to procedures.

birdstrike and engine failiure. that souds a lot like US Airways flight 1549

" reminds me of US Airways flight 1549" ===> Reeeeeealllly? What makes you say that?

A few of the passengers finished up with more than very cold damp feet.

bobbi mke plane lost both engines shortly after takeoff due to bird strike

He literally said that in the video...

Rinderkennzeichnungs as he said that I read this

And now it smells like roasted chicken 🤣.

All pilots are supposed to be ready to handle emergencies like this -- I wouldn't be surprised if part of their certifications are based on them proving it in simulators.

Peter is definitely a smart boy for sure..one of the best pilots in the world .

Auriam 😂

Call Ted Striker

After watching these videos, and having played MFSX, I certainly would not want to fly an airbus to a safe landing. 😱

Hahaha good one

And then you become a pilot with out having to go in to debt for training

They are professionals - that is what they are absolutely expected to do . CRM should be absolutely routine . They were doing their jobs - I'm not sure why all the froth about something we should expect any commercial pilots to be doing. I tip my hat to their professionalism.

terrestrial creatures lol

Excellent! Happy you liked it!

I’m so happy that you guys seem to like it! There will be more technical videos like this, in the app soon!

If course at least since pilots had to land on the Hudson River

Nope

You train for it as a private pilot, don't know why they wouldn't do so for type certified aircraft that have dedicated simulators.

@@court2379 dual engine failure is practically never practiced for modern transport category aircraft. A single engine failure on takeoff or landing is trained (V1 cut, V2 cut, etc.), but both engines was never touched on in any of my training at the airlines.

@@court2379 I've often thought that some of such pilot training should spend at least a bit of time on gliders; especially their landing procedures.

Am assuming they did this here?

I notice they didn’t dump any fuel. Was it fully loaded? Not the best upload. Well presented but not enough

@@chris77777777ify There was no time for the flight crew to dump fuel. Even if in an unrealistically perfect scenario the flight crew managed to begin dumping fuel the moment the engines failed to moments before landing, the fuel dumped vs the total fuel load would be negligible. It is of a much higher priority that the flight crew focus on flying the aircraft to a safe conclusion.

@@chris77777777ify The 737 isn't equipped with a fuel dump system. From Wikipedia: Aircraft have two major types of weight limits: the maximum takeoff weight and the maximum structural landing weight, with the maximum structural landing weight almost always being the lower of the two. This allows an aircraft on a normal, routine flight to take off at the higher weight, consume fuel en route, and arrive at a lower weight. ... During the 1960s, Boeing introduced the 737, and Douglas introduced the DC-9, the original models of each being for shorter routes; the 105% figure was not an issue, thus they had no fuel-dump systems installed.

Yes, I was really surprised that they didn't cut fuel.

100 subs with no videos - Role Play lvl 10/10

Figuring what happened is sometimes useful as certain actions could be taken (or avoided) when doing that. In this case it was obvious that the engines could not be restarted which made the pilots skip the attempt to restart, and that actually gained enough time to make a proper, gliding, safe landing.

No engines means no power for hydraulics and secondary electrical systems. Also given the height of both this demo and the Scully incident there is little time for a physical check-list review but instant actions from memory.

@@SpamMouse I get that. It's definitely the most sensible thing to do, and Sully was extremely so, thankfully. But the fact remains that the US Airways (or aircraft manufacturer?) checklist for that situation had turning on the APU further down the list than it should have been. I was just curious about industry-wide revisions based on the incident.

Agreed. There are many examples of check-list procedure that are stupid for want of a better word, The best I think is the check-list for emergency landing during fire on board/smoke filled cabin. The procedure is to bring the aircraft to a stop, ensure brakes are on, engines are shut down and power off and only then initiate passenger evacuation.

at really low altitudes you don't have much time to go through what you could at say 30k feet these big planes can glide over 100 miles from 30k feet up

@@SpamMouse They had power and hydraulics. The accumulators provide hydraulic power and batteries. The RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed the instant both busses went dark and would have provided enough hydraulic and electrical power to land the plane. Two Airbus planes have landed successfully with zero fuel on board because the RAT works.

In order to get the required pilot license, you have to demonstrate (in a simulator) that you can deal with all those emergencies. And you need to demonstrate every half year, that you still can do it in order to not lose the license.

Yea he does. Same accent and everything.

Who?
