Why would pilots have to declare a Fuel Emergency and have you ever wondered about how much fuel the aircraft are carrying?
What will happen if an aircraft starts to run out of fuel, mid flight?
In this episode I will explain a bit about this and how we Pilots are trained to deal with problems like this.
The likelihood of a LOW FUEL situation is very remote. That is because we have big margins built into our fuel calculations from the start but also because we plan our flights very carefully and always add extra fuel when we see a reason for it.
We have 3 defined steps that we talk about when we are approaching a low fuel situation. All of them are explained within this video.

Hi Mentour, thank you for another excellent video. I have learned a lot about aviation from you. I have been interested in flying all my life. Back when I was about nine or ten around 1960, my parents and I flew in a Viscount from Wellington to Auckland in New Zealand, about ten minutes from landing a big storm hit Auckland and we returned to Wellington. I was very concerned about the fuel situation, however, my father told me that we had enough fuel on board to return to where we started and more. I stopped worrying and enjoyed the flight back and having to do it all again the next day! Great fun in those days as everything was a lot simpler! I knew a Viscount pilot who flew Hurricanes in the second world war and had his engine shot to bits over France at about 20000 feet and glided about 70 miles back to England. Enough of the boring stories, thanks again.

I'm a fueler at BDL in the states. One afternoon, the weather was awful at JFK, EWR, and LGA. So we started to get a ton of diversions here. I remember one of them. It was a united mesa E175. I opened up the fuel panel and it literally only had 600 lbs of fuel left on the entire plane. At first I thought that was in one tank.. Nope. No idea the burnout ratio for the E175, but that's easily the lowest I've seen one come in here with.

In Europe given the density of population and the number of airfields around I'm fairly confident there aren't many places you couldn't glide to a safe landing even if you did run out of fuel. Interesting that of all 3 of the most famous gliding incidents Air Transat 236, Air Canada 143 and US Airways 1549 all 3 of those captains were experienced glider pilots. Maybe there is something to be said for flying gliders. I must admit i'd love to have a go myself!

Unless you had experienced a serious loss of fuel or suffered other serious mechanical problems half way across the Atlantic, their is no reason for an aircraft to run out of fuel over Europe. Any pilot who allowed himself to get into that situation should not have been flying in the first place.

@wilsjane 5 лет назад

All pilots should need to pass exams in basic engineering and simple common sense. The case where one fuel tank ran low and then dry over the Atlantic is a typical example. The reasons that the pilots transferred fuel from other tanks, without stopping to think that their must be a leak or serious engine fault defies all belief. In my opinion, failure to even notice the drop in fuel level prior to instrument warning was criminal negligence. I have a lot of connections with a European airline where the head pilot insists that all crews regularly fly without autopilot to maintain their flying skills. She (yes she, lol) is a lovely and approachable person, but she will not tolerate stupidity and incompetence. Being an ex military flight instructor, pilots treat her with great respect. Her role in the RN (UK navy), was training pilots to land on aircraft carriers. I wonder if you have already worked out the airline that I am referring to.? Clue, they have a better safety record than Qantas and do not feature in any airline crash videos. LOL.

@trevorgambell5492 5 лет назад

Trevor G I enjoy your videos and thank you for making them available. In this video about low fuel and fuel emergency situations, you mention the Air Transat incident of an Airbus A330. The problem began when an engine was changed out with a different, but compatible engine, and a fuel connector pipe was not available. The mechanics decided to re-use the one from the changed engine, though it was not the correct one. This pipe came in contact with the engine cowling, and vibration over 10 days of flying created a hole in the pipe that caused fuel to be sprayed out and into the air. The pilots knew they were losing fuel from one wing tank, and used transfer pumps to pump in fuel from other tanks, but never suspected a fuel leak. This flight actually left from Montreal for Lisbon, not from the USA as mentioned in the video.

I’ve been on a flight from Lisbon to Madeira and the weather was an issue. As we approached madeira we could divert to porto santo which is 40 kms away fm LPMA or return to Lisbon which was what happened. Later last year I flew from London to madeira and we were on hold for 35 minutes as the winds were time to time over the limits and there was a chance to land. Unfortunately the pilot decided to divert to porto santo to wait for better conditions and refuel we then managed to land.

@ThatRomyKate 3 года назад

Reminds me of a documentary I watched about Avianca flight 52 that crashed because they didn’t tell anyone they were running out of fuel. Such a shame and so easily avoidable if they’d communicated with ATC. Would love you to do a video on it if you haven’t already!

@brucesmith9144 5 лет назад

Very nicely explained. As a passenger who has flown numerous very long trans-oceanic flights of 15-hour variety, this subject goes through my mind. Does air traffic control give priority to long-haul flights arriving at their destination? Do aircraft flight ranges, as specified by the manufacturer, factor in fuel minimum allowances?

@FerralVideo 5 лет назад

International/long haul flights do receive what I'm going to call 'standard priority'. If everything's going to plan, they'll be able to just slot in effortlessly for their planned landing. But if something happens and the airport gets backed up, usually by weather, then international flights will be given first shot at any openings the controllers are able to get. This is followed by domestic jets, which have more ample fuel for diverting or holding. Then, turboprops, which are pretty remarkably efficient and can loiter around for quite a while. Finally, those tiny little Cessna GA aircraft just kinda get dropped in whenever the controller's able to fit them into their busy schedule. Obviously if someone calls a fuel emergency or other mayday they get shuffled to the front.

@@jerrymiller276 You might be right. A lot of the US civilian pilot population used to be or maybe still are US Military (reserve or guard) and those guys have sayings like that stuck in their heads, for good reason. If a phrase is in the vocabulary and second nature, then it becomes instinctive. "Train, train, and train" and "Aviate, Navigate, and Communicate" are the two most used and practiced phrases in aviation.

Avianca 052 is discussed at length in Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers". It was an important accident because it led to a lot of research into flight crew behaviour, and changes in pilot training. The takeaway is that pilots MUST learn to be assertive and clear in their communications. The research was into why they are sometimes not, and what can be done in training to overcome it.

Capt, we were flying final approach into Philly International Airport. We were very low and dirty with gear and spoilers deployed in a Boeing 737-800. All of the sudden with the ground in very clear sight less then 100 meter's. I heard the twin turbo fan's go into full throttle, was much louder then on take off. As our plane was still on her glide sloop down I felt her regaining lift in a second maybe two. As soon as we regained airspeed I heard hydraulics pulling up landing gear and retracting spoilers. The flight crew did an extra 25 minutes fly around to line her with the runway. Once landed and stopped on the flight line the Capt. pilot came over the speaker and said, "Hope you enjoyed our little airshow there was an unidentified object on the runway". Me being a A&P Boeing Tech loved it but the faces all around me had the stare of death...

Funny thing about the Air Transat plane is that Thomas Cook bought it, and can often be seen at Arlanda Airport still it Air Transat livery :)

The first incident he mentions is an episode on Air Crash Investigations/Mayday. It's called "Flying on Empty". Go check it out if it's on RU-vid or Dailymotion. One of my all time favorite episodes next to "Steep Impact".

I remember well Hapag-Lloyd Flight 3378 from Crete to Hanover in 2000, where the landing gear could not be retracted. The pilots wanted to fly as close as possible to their final destination Hanover, but they ran out of fuel before they could reach Vienna, and came short of the runway by a few hundred meters. They should have immediately diverted to Athens, but the pilot made a bad choice and also did not declare an emergency, when they dropped below the contingency. Luckily there were no casualties, but the A310 was written off and the pilot was stripped off his license! And one question here: the co-pilot asked the captain to declare an emergency and was aware, that they would not be able to reach Vienna. Can a co-pilot in such a case override the captain's decisions, if he thinks that the safety of the aircraft is endangered?

The copilot job is to check if the pilot is doing a correct job. If he doesn't he has to take control

Another 737 Max crash! 😯 I wonder what the issue was this time? Very sad and not good. Loved this video yet again Mentour360 looking forward to your overview on the Ethiopian disaster.

What about slowing down? Airplanes generally cruise faster than their maximum range speed (best fuel economy speed), so it would seem that slowing down immediately upon any fuel concern would leave a greater fuel margin at arrival - just in case another unplanned situation further delays the landing. Yes, I am aware that flying slower than maximum range speed also increases burn per distance. Changing altitude also affects fuel performance directly and because of better/worse winds aloft. In other words, there is exactly one combination of speed, altitude profile, and course that minimizes fuel burn needed to get the aircraft on the ground.
