Pilot's Huge Last-Second Mistake 

Well he seems to be admitting to lots of mistakes.

Admitting own mistakes and having no problem with talking about them, and at own initiative, is the right (i.e. "normal") behaviour. The other behaviour you described, generally hating to talk negative things about self, is simply wrong. Just a sign of bloated ego.

@@NikolaiUA Were you replying to my post? because I said nothing about behaviour, I just noted that the Captain seemed to make a point of saying that he had also made the MISTAKES that a lot of other pilots admitted to, but not, I think, did one other pilot say he'd committed all of the flying errors that Captain Kelsey admitted to. I thought that Captain Kelsey was trying to diminish the seriousness of flying errors.

@@davidtuer5825Nope, that was an addition to the OP's post

As a low time PPL, thanks for the tip on the rudder.

29yrs USAF, with numerous scary stories with our 737 rides to Area51.

Care to share?

​@@sarge420yea sorry but the rules are you can't post a comment like that without citations! Please?😂😂

Former F-15 crew chief but my only scary stories involve one of the first fighter pilots of a certain sex who just couldn't follow a marshal if their life depended on it. We parked under cover but thankfully I only had to deal with one wing strike. I mean he'll, if you can't follow me, there is a yellow line......

Cool as a cucumber 😎

Wow.

I guess that’s about all the acknowledgment we are going to get 😜

I thought I saw an extra stripe on each shoulder since I last watched Kelsey!

Wonder if he got a congrats from Mentour?

I don't like subtlety, I want a grand announcement.

He is humble.

He has been harboring those for the past month from what I was able to watch. 👍🏼

I noticed the same thing. Kelsey has a 4 stripers. He's on his way to being a Condor pilot 😊😊

Sunday evening 🇬🇧👍🏻

@@fredfred2363SUNDAY MORNING - he’s an American and so am I.

What color jumpsuit would he be in? I’d say fluorescent orange.😅😅

​@@ba946x4 or Lime Green

@@ba946x4I’d prefer him in his pilot uniform and a bright orange and yellow vest lol

@@ba946x4 He would be the construction worker.

I going to buy him some just to see that . 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Sure, and all hail to the engine designer, it needed an insane amount of power to airborn this giant at such low speed

Thank goodness it's not Boeing it would not have made it

Conversation went: Engineer: "how strong should the main gear be?" Airbus CEO: "yes"

@@trollmastermike52845 They would install a plug door on the main gear and call it a day

Well I figure Boeing does and will do just fine. Windy skies are full of their plans 24/7. Trying to beat a downed dog that has provided amazing aviation breakthroughs is "armchair insight "at best.

Exactly my thoughts 👍🏻

15 July 2023 datestamp - Google shows that UK Met Office had storm warning in effect - would have been unusually challenging conditions. Well, maybe not so unusual for a UK airport … kudos to the crew for not screwing it up with a pod/wing/tail strike trifecta, and instead pulling off a text book go around.

@agmessier, I fly similar aircraft and your observation is completely correct. If you made a rudder input (in this case to the right) while in the air the airplane would yaw right to align with the runway but the crosswind would push the aircraft sideways across the runway (in this case to the right). If your aircraft has sufficient under wing clearance you could use the ailerons to bank the aircraft in the opposite direction (in this case to the left). This would counter the crosswind and keep the airplane over the runway (flying in a "slip"). The landing could than be made with these "crosswind correction" control inputs maintained. Unfortunately, many large aircraft, especially aircraft with engines under the wing, don't have enough ground clearance, under the wing, to make the required aileron input and lower the upwind wing. If you try and land like this you might drag a wingtip or have a pod strike. The other technique that is used is to maintain the crab angle into the wind until just before the main wheels touch (as these pilots did) and then apply the rudder correction required to line up with the runway (the part they didn't do). Some will even wait until the mains actually touch the runway before making the required rudder input. This technique takes a bit of practice to get right and pilots that are new to the larger aircraft may become quite nervous getting so close to the ground before finally straightening the aircraft out with rudder just as its touching down. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that this is also the time when the pilot is "flaring" the aircraft to reduce the decent rate for touchdown. So now the pilot must divide their attention between getting the flare input on the elevator right and getting the rudder input correct to straighten out the airplane. Then when you consider that the windspeeds are most likely changing all the way down to the ground requiring continuous variations of control inputs it should be pretty easy to see how much of a workload the pilot is dealing with.

That was my thought too, they decrabed too early and started to drift off the centerline and tried to correct it

Hi

😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂, I can’t 😂😂😂😂.

Hmm. Ground personnel just made sign of the cross and ducked.

😅 😂 ​@@roadking99jokerst60

OK, now watch Mentour Pilot’s videos go retrieve that anxiety ….😊

@@Soundbrigade Ha ha ! My two favorite plane disaster channels. Nothing ever happened that upset me when I was flying but I'll admit if I had been on that plane that did the go around I'd be a little nervous about the pilot's ability to land that plane after coming in sideways and snapping around to the left. Now that I know what caused it it would bother me less than not knowing how it happened.

@@djg5950 Both Kelsey and Petter explains stuff so good that I feel very much safer now, but still when encounting turbulence or heavy sidewinds when landing or taking off, I am scared to death. I simply am too scared to fly and still, the Atlantic ocean separates me from half of my family.

@@Soundbrigade Look at it this way: An accident rarely happens even in strong winds or icy conditions. It's riskier to be on the roadways in an automobile. I bet you risk your life every day by driving ?

@@djg5950 I know and am full aware of that. We were in an accident a few years ago when our car started to slide uncontrollable due to a few inches of rain on the road - it just came out of the blue. But still I I don't like heights, I don't like snakes, I don't like liver and I don't like flying.

*I AM A BOMB TECHNICIAN IF YOU SEE ME RUNNING, TRY TO KEEP UP!* EOD, you gotta love em....

If you are behind the technician when he starts running, then you've been in the wrong spot in the first place xD

@@alukata9763 What in the world makes you think, *they started from "behind"!? ;)*

Pilot thing lol

*Both, very shiny objects!* lol.

Add a hidden compartment for the snacks

Who doesn't 😂😂😂

He wants both. It's about knowing and experimenting all

Thanks for sharing your story too..!!!!

stressing over planes is so weird... like here is the world's safest mode of transportation, where every step taken is subject to 23 different regulations, where the people driving you are thoroughly trained, regularly retrained and extremely experienced, and where a report is written even if something is just remotely close to happening. let's stress over safety

Lol

Wow.

I'm up, Dave. Thank you for telling me.

Thanks captain obvious!!

Lmao

A colleague did that in EWR with a 767 crew who wouldn't slow down coming into the gate, threw down his wands dramatically and walked away. He couldn't keep walking backwards fast enough to stay in sight from the flight deck...fortunately the pilots had the sense to stop rolling and wait, before getting in a fight with the jetbridge or a row of baggage carts 😅

That's how people are in certain parts of the world. They don't care about anyone other than themselves - it's their culture. So if anything starts to go wrong, your only clue is them running away and not doing their job.

If that were the case, why does he run toward the falling pole? Why does he turn around on the other side of the cart and hold his wands up to the pilots again? What I see is someone who is holding up the "stop" signal, but the plane is still rolling so he thinks "oh the pilots can't see me" so he runs farther back (not running away) and holds up the signal again but by then its too late. Take a look at it again- when he turns around on the other side of the cart, you can see the STOP signal. It's a bit of a dance out there, trying to stay in position while the plane's moving around. You have to walk at just the right speed, and sometimes you get into that zone where the pilots can't see you, and it's second nature to check your position when they stop or start doing something you don't expect.

@@oddtom The dude runs away and then turns around to give the stop signal. By then it's too late. The other two rampers were jumping up and down trying to get him to signal stop.

@@oddtom The first sign before he started running looked to me more like a right turn before he started running and the second one while he was running seemed to me like a stop over his head to the back. The video is certainly too short to really see what was shown to the pilot and when. From what I was able to see, it appears that they first tried to turn him in front of the pole. When they didn't turn aggressively enough to clear the pole, the guys on the ground started running and the backwards stop sign popped up. That is at least how it looks to me. If anyone comes across an official report that would be wonderful to get more insight.

@@vanstry Still, if the person who supposed to give you directions startrs running is *very* clear signal to stop.

Just realized that happened about 6 episodes ago. Nevertheless, congratulations!! Been following you for a while, you deserve the world dude!

Natural instinct, I do the same. But these large aircraft are not cars, you can't see the wingtips from the flight deck and must depend on various other aviation specific rules and methodologies inclusive of marshalers.

does your car have massive wings sticking off the sides? no? ok.

that's when static friction turns into gliding friction. If you paid attention in class you know that gliding friction is always less then static.... in this case it keeps the tyres on the rims :-)

To me , the Lead Marshaller committed severe dereliction of duty - not being way out front to be able to give pilots enough warning, but just decided to run away ?? wtf?????

Then the lead marshaller is telling the crew to crash. Turning right at that point would have made it much worse.

There's a video on yt of a 747 landing at Kai Tak and nearly burrying the undercarriage in one side.

hydroplaning. its worse at 120kts/130 mph and can cause grnd steering issues.

​@08turboSS: Well, the runway looked dry to me, it wasn't raining as we made the approach and as I said, the same thing happened in Taipei and it hadn't rained there either.

Yup, that crosswind was pushing him off the paved runway, pilot didn't dare input with ailerons as then the engine pod might strike, so inputted left rudder to get the ship back over to the left center, but that didn't quite work out. Oh, well.

But he hadn’t indicated where the wings were …. 🤔

@@Soundbrigade or the tyres. I know!

“Thank you for not ending up on 74 Gear.”

As well as those crews for the ones that WEREN'T smooth but definitely ended safely!

Thank You is perfect. Those of us in the pointy end want nothing more than a safe successful flight too.

Oddly enough, I also like the landings when the entire passenger cabin erupts into cheers when the plane makes it onto the ground in one piece, in more or less a straight line. Experienced flyers can feel the unusual directions the plane is moving and some of the back-and-forth maneuvers to straighten out the landing, and we appreciate the skill it takes to make a tricky landing work.

Lol, I know what you mean. Kelsey comes across like the goofy kid from elementary school and the uninitiated think WHUH! But when he gets into Captain mode, Kelsey is definitely the one I would be the most comfortable with sitting up front…even if he is dreaming about marshalling with his neon light sabres and suit on! 😂💕

Now he is in charge, but his personality is still the same beautiful person that he used to be.

I like to think his channel played a part in selecting him to replace a retiree. Explaining what goes wrong and how it could be done correctly without pointing fingers, that is an example of good CRM.

I can tell you, you keep looking to your left for a while till you realise … ‘oh yea, I’m the captain’. I’ve over twenty years in the left seat now and still remember my first few months with ‘imposter syndrome’.

I agree!

His paycheck 😂

It's kind of a big hint that something might not be going quite right... :)

​@@Neria-Eluladies, he's gangsta.
