This Plane Got Stuck On FULL Power, What The Pilot Did Next Was Unbelievable! 

The two pilots have really tried for keeping the aircraft steady in the air and also averted air crash. They really deserved to be awarded. The senior pilot has shown his expertise in his profession. We thank God for saving air disaster.

My late father a 24000 hour pilot always maintained that "for 364 days 23 hours and 59 minutes, airline are overpaid but in that other minute they earn every dollar they receive." this crew took longer but I'm sure that no one on board will ever accept that the pilots are over paid. Training and experience count for everything in aviation.

Proud of both pilots. They are well trained and have that oomph in their skill and quick thinking to be able to think outside the box. Reputable airlines like these are worth paying more for.

Fuel contamination was my first thought given that both engines became compromised. Given that the crew was dealing with an unplanned crisis, they did superb. My only criticism was that ground control continued to advise they finish the flight passing up numerous safe destinations that may have allowed them to maintain more control over the plane instead of flying on for several additional hours with a compromised aircraft when other better options were available allowing the situation to deteriorate until they have a full blown emergency to deal with.

Amazing Pilots!! They should be praised forever!! 💙💙💙💙💙

Point proven. Cathay Pacific has some the best pilots in the profession.

Hats off to the two pilots! Every time I board a plane I remind myself that I am in their very capable hands!

Brilliant skills and nerves. Great pilots. Above and beyond.

Congrats to both pilots. Very calm and manage to land the aircraft safely.

Great job by the pilots. I can’t believe the landing gear didn’t break off since the landing speed was double their normal landing speed.

gold award boys oh, and a bit of Raaf stress training helped no douubt

great job, lots of skill and calmness shown!

To me it is not how many flight hours a pilot has but how many times he has landed. That is the hardest part of flying. They did an increasable job considering what they had to work with.

GOOD LUCK GUYS YOU WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL

Flight Crew were professional and totally competent in there adverse sition. Brilliant workaround ! 🤔👍

Nice video mate!

Fascinating story atrociously told

Shouldn't they have landed at the nearest suitable airport after the initial problems? I know aircraft can continue if some types of problems occur enroute but not a dodgy engine!

Excellent job by two well trained pilots. It definitely pays to now your aircraft, as they did.

Why continue fly after losing first Engine😮

Another Skilléd British Pilot saves the Day 👍

Calm n cool attitude of pilots and courageously could land the aircraft and brought passengers safe

But it didn’t crash. Don’t worry, It’s an Airbus.

You have Engine problems you land right away ! They waited 2 hrs ! Why ? Maybe they didn’t have a near by airport?

An incredible brave act. Hatss off to the Captain and the First Officer and all the crew. it is so great>

Well done to both pilots, they kept calm

Hero’s they saved all passengers and stoped the plane ✈️

Courage by pilots at a time when it was most needed; saving themselves and all on the plane. Hurray to a job well done with skill and ability and focus. Heroes both.

If it had a flux capacitor and a partical accelerator this wouldn't of happened...😂 nah what really happened was bad gas lol, kuddos to the flight crew

Bravo!!! Pilpts

Amazing pilots...well done !

Could the thrust reverser not have been deployed before touchdown?

Wow, what a nightmare for the pilots - great job to get her down. Since attempting to land at such a high speed was so dangerous I have to wonder if a dead stick landing was an option or even possible ?

Real heros of aviation history . Great .

May God Bless All Involved 🙏❤️☺️ Amen 🙏❤️☺️

Are there not breakers which can shut power to the engines if necessary?

Both pilots performed according to their training and experience. Congratulations

Wow what a situation! I being a past student pilot and Aviation enthusist ,i was just wondering if the pilots could have shut the engine down once they knew of a safe glide distance to the runway , would that have been possible if so? I don't know , just curious. Any experienced Pilot i would really love to know the answer , it would really be appreciated thanks ?

They took control of the plane and let their instincts do the rest!!! NICE FLYING!!!

If all else fails switch off the ignition and a dead stick landing.

My thoughts…..”heroes”

Awesome Job!!!

Most certainly I believe that the Air Crew performed procedures to the HIGHEST level of safety and ABILITY, GOD BLESS THEM. Nifty.

ALL I CAN SAY IS WELL DONE LADS

Brilliant efforts

I'm definitely no expert, but is it possible to manually activate an over-running engine's fire suppressant system and, if so, would that slow, or snuff it out?

Geez. These pilots are more than great!

Over dramatized.

Too much dramatization, not accurate description of the different in flight experience.

Glad you made it safely home. Just wondering, aren’t the fuses in the cockpit or are they inaccessible?

The pilots did a brilliant job and saved over 300 lives.

cool headed heroism. Well done to both of them.

Very strange that ground control kept advising them to continue the flight rather than head for the nearest airport. It seems that commercial considerations trumped passenger safety?

Did the report criticize the decision to continue the flight after engine problems were reported?

Of all the people in this world who are overpaid, airline pilots are not among them.

Amazing job by the pilot and first officer. The fault is with the airline and not checking their maintenance properly. Should be the priority

Very good. 10/10

Mistake or wrong infos during all the video. Next time ask someone in the business to validate your infos and accuracy.

Safer on a quadjet such as the A340.

Good show..

U done ur best well done congratulations

Yes,maintenance is always an issue everywhere,ģot to dot your i and cross your t .your checklist is always important .doublecheck everything in audit .used to work in telecomunication systems NEC to be specific .

Great work and dexterity bythe pilots

Those pilots are blessed by God. They are the best. Keep flying guys you are the best

W pilots, Hats off to them man.

They should cutoff both engines on the final approach then bring down speed, performing a power off landing. But they never had been trained for this.

Great Great deed in saving life without getting panic...

Kudos for these good pilots ❤

The pilots did a magnificent, professional job. However, this video did not need the scary background music, and depicting the pilots as looking scared and sweating was hyperbolic and really not necessary.

Rule one of aviation in Asia: 'Do not refuel in Indonesia' If flight ops require that you refuel there, refer Rule one.

GOD Grace and Thanks to crews courage who didn't lose hope. GOD bless them abundantly.

Always manually check fuel before getting into the cockpit.

AGreat pilots job well done.

Undoubtedly those pilot seats had to be thrown away.

Excellent, skilled, pilots. But they should have been advised to land immediately when they had all the engine warning lights and problems with the first engine. Big mistake for the tower for cost reasons to tell them to push on.

That's what you call flying by the seat of your pants!😮

Amazing!!!

This is the one that was refuelled with contaminated fuel from Salt water because they had opened up a pit near the fuel tanks and allowed salt water into the fuel which made the fuel filters on the fuel pumps cut off full fuel flow and damage the controls of Fuel flow of both engines.

It’s a miracle that an Airbus made it.

Hopefully the two pilots did what they were trained to do what they did. Kudos to their skills however.

I salute the pilots sir

Is it just me or is it always these other airlines having issues

Very fortunate they did not have to land at the OLD Hong Kong airport.

Surely,I would of thought the Captain would of landed the plane with no engines on,(Glide).This would of reduced the speed of the plane for a safe landing.

Both pilots should receive a knight award from King Charles for their ability to save all life on the flight and entitlement to a pension for life at he very least....

Salt water contamination of the fuel supply. Hmmm. Most airports that fuel large Transport category aircraft use an underground supply system. Seems like the Indonesian Government has been a bit lax on their oversight and maintenance of the fuel storage and supply system.

how can it be "stuck on full power" if one engine is out and the other one is only partial?

Why didn't they instinctively turn round and go back when the first ECAM warning showed at half hour in knowing they had 4.5 hours to go.

These Pilots did a magnificent job in landing this plane. JESUS was certainly a second Co Pilot on this landing. They should not have been able to do what they did.

Isn't it more normal to call "Pan Pan" as soon as there is a major problem, and return to the take-off airport or another nearby one, especially when the destination is much, much further away.

I thought there must have been other ways to slow down the plane, like air brakes (invented as long ago as the aviation started). The airplane always should have the alternative ways to any forseeble trouble. Airbrakes seem to be able to handle many issues like this one.

I wonder if they dump all the fuel or switch of the engines, which will work or not.

This video needs editing by a professional pilot.

What is it about the south china sea? It's like the Bermuda triangle! This is also the problem with training in pilots, they will not think outside the box even if they are doomed to die

know nothing about this stuff,but if the engines were running too fast why would you not just turn the fuel supply off\

Excellent pilots

When at the destination I would have orbited the field, dumping fuel until I could do a glide path landing (I haven't watched this video yet).

As always, it's better to have gas than to have a gas problem. Cheers!

Great job pilots.

Any crash you can walk away from…..
