On September 15th, 2006, an EasyJet Airbus A319 en route from Alicante in Spain to Bristol in the UK, suffered a dramatic failure over North-West France. The pilots of the aircraft were effectively flying blind, as they tried to understand what had gone wrong. Would they be able to make it to an airport before their situation deteriorated? And what else would go wrong before they could restore function to their plane's systems? This video explores the events of this day, and the important safety lessons which resulted.

@Siegfried Alemeir You have absolutely no understanding of how modern air traffic control works. Civilian ATC does not use radar. It is a radio transponder system. They do not ping radar signals off of the skin of your airplane, they ping a radio signal off of your plane's internal transmitter. If you're not transmitting, then they cannot see you. Military radar is different, but it won't know what dot is what on the screen unless they have tracked it from origin or are in communication with it.

That first officer wasn't suffering from hypoxia.. It was a clear panic attack. Poor him, the captain knew this and that is why he said they don't need the masks because he was clearly feeling fine in comparison with his colleague ... (*PS: For all the people below associating panic attacks to lack of courage, or virility, or whatever... let me clarify you something - in the face of a life threatening situation, the first officer body went instinctively into "fight or flight" mode. One of the many physiological reactions associated with it is the intake of extra Oxygen to be used to fight or to run away (flight). Since the first officer could not do any of the 2 because he was too busy sitting down and handflying an entire aircraft, the extra Oxygen went unused for its purpose so he ended up hyperventilating, causing dizziness, ect. which in result turned into a panic attack. So the panic attack was just a byproduct of the unability to use the extra Oxygen, not necessarily due to lack of courage. Hope that clarifies 😉 )

@@GreenDotAviation Just breaking into animating, myself... AND I can promise you "THE DEVIL is in the details." is VERY VERY TRUE... In the interest of self-improvement, I've been out to scrounge through just about as much diversity in animated content as I can get my eyeballs on... AND I'm looking more and more "as an animator" and less and less as "rando in the audience"... AND I noticed a LOT just in the last week or so... Call it "morbid curiosity" and it's a bit "off color"... BUT as a clear example of something in the details I can't unsee, I happened on a snippet of animated PORN and the female had no... erm... Female parts. No nipples, and NO VAG'! There was a big open and empty patch of real estate, skin-colored and everything... I KNOW where those parts are supposed to be... but they just... weren't there... Now, granted... (and those who know, know)... For what she was doing at the time, it wasn't 100% necessary to have a vag'... BUT... it still kinda completely ruined the whole point. I even look back at myself, like... What difference could it make? In the scenario at hand, it's ONLY a bit of a slit with a little pink fringe. What do I really care??? BUT apparently, my brain can't let it go. She was ILL EQUIPPED to be sexy... as a female... and I can't unsee it. SO while you're certainly not building porn'... No question. There isn't an exact parallel... BUT for every pixel worth of detail that you DO put into your work, I can promise you, audience MEMBERS (as in plural, and probably not a small plural) are GOING to appreciate it. Getting those right, is all part of "selling the shot" just as much as clean audio... That might well be "the hell of animating", whether I'm doing it with glorified cyber-puppets in Blender, or someone else is screen-shotting a video game or simulator... OR you've got some other clever suite for specialized output to make videos. It may not essentially require the detail(s) in question to sell the shot at a minimal, but the better job you CAN do, the better you'll be recognized and remembered by your audience for it. You CAN have faith in that. ;o)

An extra detail from the report: Bristol ATC first became aware of the emergency traffic inbound at 1110 hrs when they were called by ATC at West Drayton, who advised that EZY6074 was over the south coast of England in a descent, but not in radio contact. Bristol ATC took action to notify all the responsible authorities to ensure the airport was prepared to accept the emergency aircraft. A full emergency was declared by the airport at 1116 hrs. All air traffic movements at Bristol Airport were suspended as the aircraft approached. When the aircraft was established on final approach, the tower controller broadcasted blind transmissions giving landing clearance and surface wind information.

Air traffic controller moment

@crazy4dariver Жыл бұрын

Outstanding commentary and episode. I was on a flight from LA to Kailua Kona. We abruptly dropped 3000 (so we all found out later on the news) Capt apologized and explained it as an unexpected event. He knew more and didn't want everyone to panic. I was seated at the very aft next to the aft Stew area. If they knew, they showed no emotion either. Although we had been instructed to remain seated and belted, that was about it. An hour later I looked out my window and saw two fighters tailing us. Something was really wrong but the entire crew maintained professionalism and composure. I leaned around the bulkhead and asked. No one answered so I wrote it down on a napkin and threw it at them. They read it and the next directive was for everyone to close the window shades. Plane landed fine in Ohau (wrong island but much larger rescue operations) and everyone on board got a voucher good for two years. I never really found out what happened but I'm sure we had a sudden hydraulic loss and they had to fight that beast in. I thanked the Capt while disembarking and he looked warn out but came out to see if anyone was hurt. He laughed when he saw me in full dress blues (USAF) "Please on your next fight with us Major, don't throw your trash at my crew" Outstanding

I've not worked on avionics for about 2 decades, but latching and momentary switches were a thing on Boeings up to the 777 when I stopped being hands on. I was also screaming squawk 7600 and drop the rat quite early on in your video. Bench tech not a pilot but I know if fighters come up to say hi then they'll have a look initially then you wobble your wings and follow them. Quite possibly to Stansted. Shooting down wasn't really an option but I get that fear. If it had been Ryanair then it's different, the pilot is duty bound to try to sell scratch cards to the military jets first and they'd just shoot them down as a response.

This is an incredible story I've never heard before! Those pilots did an unbelievable job with all the odds against them, and the teamwork between them with their very limited flight hours on the Airbus was phenomenal. Also the various ATC controllers were outstanding in helping even when they couldn't get in contact with them, from the guy getting the American plane to descend with seconds to spare to the tower at Bristol closing the airport and getting all the services out to keep the plane safe once they could see it was on its planned flight path and under control. The story of this flight has just joined a short list that includes the Gimli Glider, Taca 110, United 232 and the Miracle on the Hudson as one of my all-time favourite stories of airmanship against the odds. I hope that easyJet realises just how amazing these two pilots are. For a budget airline, there is a reason easyJet are one of the best.

@richarddyasonihc Жыл бұрын

Wow! That was the most nail-biting episode I’ve watched so far. Those two pilots belong to my top five pilots who have faced seemingly impossible odds of landing safely in highly unpredictable situations. Having only a PPL I have never flown aeroplanes with auto pilot- so it’s always hands on flying. However, having attained aerobatic certification, I have quite a good understanding of what aircraft van & can’t do - you’d be surprised at how few aeroplanes will bring themselves which won’t ‘sel-right’-right’ themselves if you take your hands off the controls completely during an awkward manoeuvre- but don’t depend on it.😊

The CRM was excellent. One thing the captain did was to confirm that the aircraft was flying in 'alternate law' which means that some of the flight protections were in degraded mode. Also, thank you for the extra level of depth. I'd watched another channel that covered this incident and the near miss incident wasn't covered at all so thank you for that. This makes for a more serious incident overall.

I can't think of a single button on a 737 that would become ambiguous in such a circumstance. However, I think a 777 has overhead panel buttons that (at least) were like this. I've read over 2000 pages of 737-800 documentation and have over a 1000 hours on the PMDG 737-800. That might sound a bit silly, but for a frustrated pilot it's actually exhilarating AND makes these videos so immersive. First time this channel has appeared in my feed. 100% new subscriber. Great stuff!
