Too Close! Airplane Nearly Lands on HOTEL! 

I have been using Nord VPN for 4 years. It's a great, problem free, VPN and reasonably priced. Other than being a Nord customer, I have no relationship with Nord.

@ד it normally takes around 2 years for a final report to come out. The preliminary report is available.

You should look into LaMia Flight 2933 that crashed in Medellin with a Brazilian football team aboard in 2016. An incredible tale of corruption, incompetence, and complete disregard for flight rules.

nordvpn has been exposed already you should look into that when they sponsor you

20:36 LOL WHAT THE FREAK? HAHAHA I know airlines are saving money, but they could have offered you a better ride....! Haha Precious!! I almost spilled my coffee on the keyboard! What a good laugh!

They may crash into your room, but they will still lose your luggage 😁

Tell that to 9/11 victims, from the airport direct to the office, if you dare.

The stairway to heaven. We deliver you there! 😂

​@@Rinishani oh grow a sense of humour.

😅😅😅

covenant that I establish between me to see; one among us knows There is unfaithfulness toward me, they will dwell securely on their land, with no one to make them afraid.After they have been humiliated for all their unfaithfulness toward me My people will dwell in a peaceful abiding place, Although we live in a wicked world, why can we be sure that Jehovah will protect his people? They will dwell on it in security and build houses and plant vineyards, and they will dwell in security when I execute judgment on all those around them who treat them with scorn; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah their God.

Green dot aviation is great aswell

I would say a tie with green dot aviation.

​@@lethe5683 greendot is good but he's not an expert. This guy is actually an experience pilot who trains others.

Ehhh tbh his titles are kinda clickbaity but they aren't straight up lying

Seems a common problem - the brain tries to confirm what it expects to see from what is out there - then gets it wrong. Same thing with Air NZ slamming a DC10 into Mt Erebus in 1979 - while on a sight seeing trip over Antarctica - whilst doing the sightseeing at 2000 feet altitude. 300 paid the price for that mistake

Ok I have a question. How far away do the pilots start the descent? I am guessing about 100 miles?

@@nancydavis4618 The video mentions 100 nautical miles (i.e., 185 km / 115 miles) as the starting point.

​@@nancydavis4618It depends on a few factors , like speed and the flight height too. Short haul flights often don't climb as high, as the fuel savings for flying high can be eaten up by the fuel required to climb.

Safety Above All a motto we live by above or below the wing

Mmm. They didn't save the 2 main systems which would have had more information. Events like this should be auto saved, of legally required to be manually saved. For education and safety improvement.

And sounds like they didn't fire/punish the pilots either. While this was pilot error. When you break it all down it's understandable how this happened. And it wasn't due to outright negligence.

Why wouldn't anyone?

​​@@Google_Does_Evil_Now actually, the Quick Access Recorder (which is intended for maintenance) provides more info than the Flight Data Recorder (which is one of the two black boxes). What was missing was only the Cockpit Voice Recorder (the other of the black boxes). Not saying that isn't bad in itself, but luckily the investigators were not devoid of data. Edit: But yes, this stuff should be preserved automatically. They're actually working on making a system so that all in-flight data is automatically transmitted via satellite uplink continuously during flight. Don't know how far they are with that yet, though.

If they hadn’t recovered visibility at the moment they did this would have had an entirely different ending.

They should never have been there in the first place.

@@StrongDreamsWaitHere yes but errors happen, it's how we correct them is often the difference between a disaster and a fright.

@NHL 2K10 Chances of being killed in a plane .. one in 11 million. Chances of being killed in a car .. one in 5 thousand. Driving is dangerous and drivers are a menace to society?

My exact thoughts, especially when he said they didn't get the flight recorder.

Yeah, or using past tense.

You and me both! 💕

This is why I that there should be 'importance' departure and approach cones regarding the both the data and voice recorders so that they do not record over themselves at critical points during the flight, and or if something happens that needs to be kept for reference. My idea was always, to have a secondary tape running in parallel that would be activated in the event of an error, or a justification of some sort in order to preserve information in cases such as this. There are literally thousands of instances where the voice recorder and data recorded have been overwritten and information is lost that could be deemed as important.

Actually, we knew this beforehand. An accident/disaster would have been in the news prominently, and there isn't one on this airport, except for the spectacular landings over the called beach.

@@Dirk-van-den-Berg I knew by the title 😂

Great to hear! Best of luck with your training.

I love to see pilots watch these. There are so many recurring patterns to learn from (for instance regarding go-arounds in marginal conditions). Would be fabulous to adopt these videos as some form of paid recurring theoretical training for pilots.

You need to stop watching RU-vid and study more!🤨

Jk!😃🫡

Right there with you, Drew!

I spotted this aircraft at YVR occasionally.

I am feeling the exact same thing in here I have worked ramp on this exact aircraft at YXX Fascinating to think the aircraft I am loading bags into was 39 feet from water INSANEEEE

For some reason, I had not really noticed this. Thanks for pointing it out, gave me a good chuckle 😂

Anyone knows if this is part of another video? I really want more context or just more clips of that. Its absolutely hilarious.

me when watching that: where can I get that pinky mini race-cycle thing 😂 I want one

The best part was the sheer focus and determination on his face. Like he's flying a Boeing.

I almost choked and snorted tea through on my nose. Was not expecting that visual 😂😂😂

Excellent, a watch party! Love it! Hope you all enjoy!

I love doing these episodes because the learning is the same, with no one getting hurt.

Since 2009 there have not been any major lethal accidents involving a reputable commercial airline (that is from the US, Canada, Australia, western Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea or Japan).

@@ironlionzion1380 Germanwings - 9525 from 2015 comes to mind. 150 people died there.

@@mac_cy3636 Germanwings wasn't an accident though. It was intentionally flown into the ground.

@@Laudian. True

Mentour Pilot - I think you need to take a look at the reply below. Someone trying to harvest RU-vid addresses???

Agreed!

The pilot's perspective puts the cherry on the cake.

Me!

Same here!

Up plus plus!

Thank you very much! 💕💕

It's just MS Flight Simulator lol

The vacationers on the beach was a nice touch.

@@nethiuz9165 even painters "just" use a paintbrush, but still they make art. Don't be dismissive of others, it doesn't reflect well back on yourself.

@@MentourPilot The rendering of the Gravelly Hill Interchange is especially good ;)

I am!

Yeah, clearly there is a CG team too.

I am the same - not an aviator but fascinated by hearing all the details about accidents and incidents, and the safety recommendations that come about from them. Love Mentour Pilot channel!

Do also check out the sister channel, presented by the same guy. There's Mentor Pilot, that deals with well reached historic events And there's Mentor Now! where he responds to recent aviation news, often before they're have been proper investigations is anything went wrong. I find them both fascinating.

Yes he describes the incident, so well , I felt I was in the aircraft with them… Great video 👍

Him and Kelsey are my favourite pilots!

Ghey

I agree! Blancolirio too!!!

​@@Yuki-di2rb Same for me. Different styles, but both honestly give us great content.

​@@johnredcorn2476 No u!!!

If I was the hotel... I'd probably redecorate the roof. Maybe add a giant red-X and/or the hotel logo? I mean, don't wanna look like an airstrip.....

There is a public road between the start of the runway and the sea which probably can’t be re-routed hence cannot build platforms to cater to an ILS approach. Guess the experts can confirm or debunk this.

@@marhawkman303 If I was the airport I'd contact the hotel to ask if they could possibly do something about that

@@Legendendear yeah, it seems like it'd be to the hotel's benefit to look different?

@@tldacosta485 That was correct. may be they could build a bridge over the road?

Absolutely! 👍 I'm a big fan of disaster & near miss analysis content of various kinds, but not from any kind of morbid curiosity. To me, they're a super-valuable tool for all of us (regardless of life or work contexts) in encouraging us to keep our risk assessment awareness sharp, frequently check our biases, and advocate for safety and accountability wherever that is needed?

@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 I Agré totally. 🇸🇪

Yikes! I can see how that might happen.

Did they analyse the level of runway lighting at that time? I hope it would be much stronger than some building's interior lighting!?

@@skayt35 The problem is you can't really regulate how bright people will illuminate inside their living spaces, hotel rooms or businesses, and runways light can only be so bright I think...

HahHa!

Glad to hear that!

Yes, the human factors engineering aspects of flying, driving--all mechanical transport operations are critical to safe transportation.I am an Ergonomics Engineer and Human Factors Engineer.

Me too. I love the thrill of seeing something so massive take flight... I still can't believe it works.

Hope you enjoy!

💕😂👍🏻

Came just to say this. What an underrated part of the video lol.

@@michaelgoldstein8516 😃👍

Awesome comment Matthew! Thanks for being here and safe flying!

The hotel no longer has a white roof.

And even a death.

You should absolutely go! We went in 2021 and loved it. We added it to our list of islands to return to. Everyone was friendly and the island as a whole is just gorgeous.

Paul, with your opinion, what IFR approaches with marginal terrain limits would be left? The bowel ROA in VA comes to mind.... EGE Colorado as well... Places who's IFR approaches have increased risks due to terrain.

Haha! Yeah, he was so confused 😂

😅💛

@@MentourPilotIsn’t that your son, Petter?

And they did so providing a level of service that put Air Canada to absolute shame.

@@valerierodger I totally agree !

​@@valerierodger Ah yes, Air Canada - the JB Hunt of the airline industry.

Too bad they sold to a private firm and are treating their employees like every other big corp instead of being treated like owners.

@@gpaull2 Yeah this was a very very sad day because that was the only thing that set them apart. Capitalism ruins everything.

It's the RU-vid Paradox. Much like the Fermi Paradox, only more mysterious 🤔

That's pretty common. For instance as far a boats shooting at each other before 1950, Drachinifel is THE channel. He is very knowledgeable and quite funny. Dry British wit, which makes it much more enjoyable. He's about at the same views as Mentour or take boats before 1950 that don't shoot at each other Oceanliner Designs and Big Old Boats are the premier channels. Both are of the same quality as Mentour so I recommend a watch if you like old steamships. The famous one features heavily of course but others too. The audience for this sort of stuff is just smaller. Many come to RU-vid for light entertainment and not for education. Or take current military matters, where a lot of garbage narrated by robots get millions of views while the Mentour equivalent of that field Perun, has a lot less views. But still all those channels are growing and have captured many who wouldn't have thought they would be interested in airliner operation, suboptimal battleship design, or tales from the age of steam and iron or hour long PP presentations on logistics. But there is a growing number of extremely high quality channels such as Mentour Pilot or Oceanliner Designs that even a few years ago wouldn't have been imaginable, when the best you got was some made for TV documentary with bately accurate information, dramatic music and sensationalisation beyond anything reasonable. Or biased as hell. Also I think a lot of these channels share subscribers. The type of person interested in how an inadvertent deployement of slats causes a liner to almost crash is likely to be interested in how the rudder on Titanic was steered by a compination of electrical signals and two steam engines that could be started and stopped precisely and quickly enough to steer a giant 100 ton rudder in turn holding the forces of a 46000 ton ocean liner turning (a little too slowly in some cases). And the same people are likely to want their current events analysed by an actual subject matter expert and not bobbleheads reading from a teleprompter (HI Sutton for instance and of course almighty Perun). So you'll probably enjoy those too even if the subject is different. It's just fascinating to listen to subject matter experts and something that used to be rare. If you didn't work in a field you wouldn't have access to say an airline pilot (and training instructor) explaining every nuance of aviation alongside some nice graphics and delivered 2-3 times a week at no cost, besides maybe 30 s in adds from YT and one sponsor read, which is a lot less annoying than the multi-minute TV ads that seem to get mote absurd by the day, with the product barely featuring and instead pseudo-philosophical garbage being read by a failed actor.

Wow, that’s really nice to hear. Tell him “Good luck with your training” from me!

I am really grateful for what I have and what I can achieve. Thank you 🙏

​@@MentourPilot awesome electric go kart.👍👍👍

Indeed, these are good at showing how multiple things have to go wrong in just the right (wrong?) order for a crash to happen. I've never been a very nervous flier myself, but I'm definitely even _less_ nervous now! And it's also heartening to see incidents that _didn't_ end in a crash -- and what was learned to make a future incident even less likely.

That’s awesome to hear and I wish you the best of luck!

@@MentourPilot Thank you!!! 🙏🛫💖

😃👍

Low altitude hover, even less agl than the plane in the video

Yes, it’s a very good industry to work in from that regard. 💕

Indeed.

I think in the US there are laws that can force building owners to make them aviation friendly

​@@JimVajda82 Within a certain distance, same as height restrictions in the area. Heck, under Eminent Domain it can be removed entirely.

@@JimVajda82 In this case, since the hotel has so many people see it from the air, a plain white roof seems like a low-budget beginner option. A corporate logo or name of the Hotel spelled out on the roof seems like it'd both be an effective way to prevent mis-identification, and also look nice.

@@marhawkman303 it’d still look like a runway from a distance. Why not simply put the typical flashing red beacons on the top that they put on everything else?

@@marcellkovacs5452 heh, you mean blinking lights like on a runway? :D hahaahah, yeah you'd have to carefully choose light colors or having a lighting roof would make it worse.

They need to repaint the roof in black

Black would conduct more heat. Orange or red checkerboard or some type of strobe lights might be a better idea.

Hahaha As was I regarding the roof of the hotel to be repainted lol.

White roof makes a lot of sense for the hotel because they have to cool the building a lot and having white roof reduces the heat input. Adding two red flashing lights would make a lot more sense - probably cheaper to implement and better safety during poor weather.

Maybe they could add a large sign stating: "Helicopter landings only!" 😇

@@clefsan If they already mixed the roof of a building with runway, I'm pretty sure a sign without extra lights is not going to help.

​@@MikkoRantalainen they could add a black angled wall to block off the last section so it looks different and improves cooling. Or dazzle camo or similar to change its shape

*gives passengers parachutes*

😂😂😂😂

Here you go, jump out.

​@@angmak7321 touch and go drops use a rope out the back, occasionally a drogue xD

Indeed, exactly. It was a very close call and they had plenty of Good Luck!

Glad it was helpful! 💕

I would consider this a close call. Leveling off and having to roll an airliner at only 12 m above ground is dangerous. Even more so because they had too much sink rate right before that.
