Video footage of a TU-154 landing on a unknown russian airport. Great to see all the cyryllic meters and instruments. Keep in my that I'm not the author of the video, found this in my archive
No not good. Hierarchy and chastising in the cockpit has led to air disasters in the past with Captain's making poor decisions and co-pilots unable to override or question poor decisions. This happened in China. They have since re-trained their pilots and had to change the culture of hierarchy in the cockpit. Russia is unfortunately still lagging behind. Human factors.
Thomas von Aquin No, he’s commanding “Малый реверс” (“Maliy Revers”), meaning “Idle Revers”, Reversers deployed and thrust on idle. So you’re not even close to be CORRECT.
My grandfather used to be an instructor on the Tu-154. He was military trained and flew fighters for about 7 years. He used to pull the blinds over the windshield of the copilot and make him land only on instruments regardless of day/night or visibility.
SMaze17 That was unreal, who doesn't want their pilot's screaming like bloody hell while landing? The captain needs IV Valium and a series of 100 colonics. You may have heard about the Aeroflot A320 crash with the captains young children sitting in the captain and 1st officer seats. Watch the 5 episodes of Airplanski, it's OK to carry your bottle of vodka on your flight to help you settle down a bit when things get on your nerves. Delays of 1-5 days, missed stops, grossly overloaded aircraft and supermacho former fighter pilots in the cockpit are routine.
hahahahahah, bro STFU u don't know anything about Russian aviation and neither Russian Language, first of first the aircraft where the captain let his son in the cockpit was A310, they accidentally disconnected the AP and the warning on a310 regarding AP was inaudible, also the captain was yelling at the FO because he did several errors regarding glide path and speed , and approach procedure

They're landing at Novy Urengoi / Новый Уренгой in the north, Can see it on the chart :D at 2:14 I recall a story of a crew from LOT that attempted to take off with 45* of flap set by accident. It lifted off after less than 800m at around 180-200km/h and whilst accelerating very slowly the plane was still controllable. Russian Engineering!
Novo yeah, 154 is probably the most agile commercial airplane at low speed, the landing speed is always like 120-130kt, at same time still have a lot of control. This probably is the easiest plane to land manually.
Pretty hard to keep some order there, everyone seems to be on it's own, even the plane itself (8:10). That captain is a tough guy! Landing with the newspaper on his knee, ready to pick it up and continue reading the news right after touchdown, how cool is that?! :-)))))))
What's the problem with the airplane? When the yokes move alone at 6:22 they are likely being controlled by the engineer, and the FO is holding the yoke, so the captain one moves accordingly. The newspaper... as far as he's not reading it while landing, I don't think it's big trouble.
@@prg2766 well it is, because it can distract you and also if it falls down you will have to grab it and remove it which is distracting and an absolute nogo. There's absolutely nothing that a pilot should have on his knees etc during takeoff or landing
@prg2766 tu 154 was very advanced airplane for its time. Actually the training captain was complaining why the trainee is unnecessary moving the yoke. Control surfaces on tu 154 when on autopilot and even when flying it manually are moved by the super advanced system(ABSU), according to the needs(of stable fly, demonstrated by captain vigorously miving the yoke hard left and right and telling that the plane is going straight - ABSU. One former Tu 154 pilot, now captain instructor on b737 described tuv154 is rock solid and uncomparable easier to fly than any b737 - Denis Okan you tube channel). Also this captain is complaining that tha trainee does not give commands for flaps, lights and that he is deviating from the landing profile. Superb video this btw
@@marcelodacosta8090 heavy aircraft has a long response time to action controls. The commander tells the co-pilot that he too often makes unnecessary movements with the steering wheel, as if he is flying an An-2
@@YuryGnum - Thanks!!! I am a pilot but don't understand nothing in Russian....I can't speak a word. I wish to visit some aeronautical places in Russia. Give an invitation!!!!!
This appears to be a training flight. Conversation btw Instructor (on left seat) and Student goes smth like: I: don't fiddle this gddmn yoke like that - take it easy - hold your direction! ... I: when were you supposed to extend the slates? S: on 125 I: when did you? S: umm... 110... I: BS! we were on 98 - now, bcz of your piloting, they gonna roast us all! ... This was common practice to give students some verbal stress. As on instructor once said: "If harsh tongue makes you sweat, so what will you do when engines quit?"
Absolute chaos. Captain is a danger. No wonder there are so many crashes. So much for sterile cockpit on landing. Look like amateurs. So unprofessional. Thank god I was trained in the West!
@@bEEBO178 jfc please may you shut up if you dont even know what is going on in there. The captain is an instructor. He has a student next to him. Student is making mistakes - and is being called out for it. The real danger there is the student.
Which one you mean? The one fixed on the top of the panel or the one fixed on the ceiling? Tu154 has auto trim, so they only need to change the trim setting for different COG value, and the manual trim setting hiding in a small box near to the trim setting handle. The handle fixed on ceiling is flap.
GA style GPS ...lol. One thing though, Russian Jets were built tough to land anywhere. When you can see an IL-62 land on a grass trip, you know they were bulletproof. The TU-154 was triple everything as well for short field operations from runways of dubious quality. The pilots were often ex-fighter jocks and they if you watch them land, they treat their ships like fighters - they swoop in, pull tight turns and push a steep final. These guys like a drink though but if you're landing in the middle of winter in snow storm, these are the guys you want at the stick.
Mind you, Tu-154 first flew in 1968. And our pilots still know how to land it using a glass of water. Whereas the majority of western pilots simply pray for reliability of avionics.
So I want a drunk pilot who puts the aircraft onto a potential stall attitude and flies dangerously like he's flying a fighter jet? I think you are deluded!
@@Wingedawe : Oh lol my Russian friend! I detect a strong note of airmanship RIVALRY with strong nationalistic overtures! Bring it baby. I'm ready to climb in anything you got and show you how its' done.
@@happysawfish Oh, I appreciate your self assurance, especially knowing that your chalenge can not be accepted. But still, you yankees are very brave, at least your talk is. Having forgotten how to fly old school airplanes by hand is something that you, yankees, consider a great merit, whereas russians don't. That the only nationalistic note to my comment.
@@Wingedawe: You are correct, the challenge can not be accepted. But, if only it could . . . then how FUN it would be! However, I disagree with your assessment of all "Yankees.' We are all pilots, first and foremost. A community within ourselves. A brotherhood and sisterhood of comrades who would cross borders to help a fellow aviator. At least, I would. Thank you for your comments. I hope to hear more from you on aviation matters. I wish I knew the Russian language so I could better understand this video. Yet, I watch it more than once because I like to listen to it!
Great video, thanks for sharing! ;) I have really no idea exactly what they are saying but it doesn sounds quite a lot like a fierce discussion at one point :D.
captain is cool guy..... now we know why this airplane call **Careless** he just want to wake up stupid second officer and flight engineir.. anyway Tu-154B is triple hydraulic controled airplane ....... he landed pure automatic and second officer just acting in final approach...... only what he do is to pull up hydraulic and disconect autopilot with reversers...... piece like cake.
when I first watched this video I thought the captain was a dick but after watching it a few times and understanding the situation I feel he's kinda cool :))
I think the douglas engineers painted the dc9 cockpit green because that color helps you to stay focused. An arts teacher told me something along those lines when she asked us why the schoolrooms were painted mostly un green. And the tupolevs,dc9s and my school walls have a very lookalike green
Our pilots are trained not worse, and sometimes better than the western. Here the problem in equipment is more. look at it KLr9sBqIm6A I don't know, whether you understand Russian but if you understand, likely it will be clear that it for the plane. ;)
@@user-mj5pb9gk6b, конечно у пилотов есть штурвал, но в полёте всегда включен автопилот (АБСУ), и самолётом управляют, воздействуя на АБСУ. В том числе и по тангажу - рядом с рукояткой "Разворот" есть колёсико "Спуск-подъём"; вращая его, штурман или командир плавно задаёт изменение высоты и темп этого изменения, например, при смене эшелона полёта, контролируя приборную скорость. Если же в полёте под автопилотом потянуть или толкнуть от себя колонку штурвала, произойдёт расцепление АБСУ по каналу тангажа, а если повернуть штурвал, то автопилот отключится и по каналу крена, естественно, с индикацией. Этот метод отключения АБСУ называется Пересиливанием автопилота.
The captain is panic and I do not want to know about it. Why is he yelling? I understand that 154 is a noisy plane, but he behaves like he was scared. Look at his arm: holding the yoke as to squeeze water from metal. It does not support student pilots, there is no reason to yell. Капитан в панике, и я не хочу об этом знать. Почему он кричит? Я понимаю, что 154 - это шумный самолет, но он ведет себя так, как будто его напугали. Посмотрите на его руку: держите ярмо, чтобы выжать воду из металла. Это не поддерживает студенческих пилотов, нет причин кричать.
аэродинамика хреновая из за затенения потока на хвостовом стабилизаторе хрен проссышь приход большого пиздеца толбишь штопора плоскогоа если с приборами стало худо то пока не свалишься не узнаешь что скорость низкая
***** Actually that is starting to go the other way. Too much automation is causing pilots to loose skills and rely too much on the computers. As recent incidents have demonstrated, computers on-board do fail or malfunction and the pilots ability to fly completely manually still needs to be there. Unfortunately we now have a generation of pilots who don't necessarily have the skills to take full manual control.
And that is exactly why Russian passenger and freight operators buy so many Boeing's and Airbus's, and secondly why Russian aircraft builders write very big checks out to GE, Rolls Royce, Honeywell, Rockwell, Allied Signal,.....etc etc
Jeeze, Western ‘sterile’ aviation piloting seems a million miles away from the Russian style of aviating. 😂. It’s funny to watch, looks so chaotic, the 3 guys shouting over each, with real bells and buzzers.
That Captain might be eperienced guy, but he certainly has problems with controlling his emotions, creating potential problems in cockpit crew communication. I don't want to believe that this is the typical russian way to handle situation or guide inexperienced FO. Disgusting. Just checked, 85697 was flying last time in 2008. Then after being in storage it was scrapped in 2013. Should be quite old video.
Definitely a training need required for the captain. He has no place either instructing or being PIC of an aircraft whith that attitude. He wouldn't last 5 minutes in the west. Would be fired in the spot.
This is truly terrible. CRM at its worst! I'm surprised they are able to fly at all. The captain's attitude is worse than horrible. He's a real high school bully! Shame on you guys!
