Really makes you appreciate the engineering that goes into planes for the abuse they can take.

Luckily that experimental plane has an alarm informing you you are upside down. Imagine the confusion otherwise 😳

While the Pegasus takeoff with “ice” on the wing looks bad, there are some factors to consider before accusing this crew of negligence. You may notice the upper surface of a 737 wing often, if not always, has a black “box” painted on it. This black box essentially outlines the fuel tank within the wing, and also depicts the area on the wing which may be covered with what’s known as Cold Soaked Fuel Frost (CSFF). CSFF occurs when very cold fuel in the wings, cools the skin of the wings in cool humid air causing condensation to freeze into frost. The 737 is certified to takeoff without deicing this frost within the black box area of the upper wing surface, as long as some other conditions are met, including a minimum fuel tank temperature, minimum outside air temperature, and a lack of visible moisture. If you watch the video again, you’ll see that outboard from the “snowy” area on the wing, the wing is actually clear of snow and ice. The “ice” which actually seems to be frost is contained within the black outlined area of the wing. This can more clearly been seen as the aircraft climbs away from the runway. I’d say without knowing the specific fuel tank temp, outside air temp, etc., this crew was probably within the guidelines for a safe takeoff per Boeing.

The Kitfox flipping over in the snow is one of the most abrupt stops I've ever seen an airplane perform! I'm guessing it had skis, but that snow was very soft. The Saudi airliners passing in front of the sun was very cool, must have been an incredible sound in real life.

“Private jet escapes from helicopter” by taking off from a dirt airstrip adjacent to the ocean on one side and an inter coastal waterway on the other can only mean one thing, drug runner.

Really impressed with the Kitfox pilot maintaining his composure like that. Pull off, cut off, shut off, and some other stuff in like 1 second flat.

1:07 Wow, the aircraft's laser weapons activated as soon as it hit the ground...phew phew phew

Some clips on this channel show exactly how safe aviation is, given the amount of stupidity planes can take without breaking appart. Big kudos to engineers and the industry in general, aviation is one of the few we can still put some trust on.

1:08 Good thing it had that alarm to let him know something had gone wrong. Would have been really embarrassing to keep trying to fly upside down in the snow.

No need to have clickbait titles like "Pilot Loses Control Over Plane" ... 3 Minutes of Aviation is enough of a brand already :)

I've seen that 'Kitfox' landing before. It was an 'engine out' situation and the prop was 'windmilling", it's a fixed prop with no ability to feather. Considering it was wheels in a snow covered field the pilot did an excellent job! Cheers, --gary

In the past Falcon jets used to show off its unimproved surface performance and Pilatus jets do now. Perfect ad for Gulfstream Aircraft to use to sell to Columbian customers.

Like they say, any landing that you can dig through snow upside-down to crawl away from, is a good one.

The pilots did not lose control. they landed it safely despite the extreme cross wind they encountered near the runway.

For the Ethiopian 777... It's a classic Overcontrol on the stick. Pilots who are accustomed to non-fly-by-wire airplanes have this tendency, overcontrolling the aircraft with excess of inputs which makes the Fly-By-Wire of the 777 to respond immediately and causing this effect.

Private jet “escapes” from a helicopter… drug runner, perhaps?!?

I have enjoyed your website very much, however please refrain from sensationalizing to attract more viewers. The pilots of the Ethiopian 777 did not “ lose control” of the airplane! They were simply dealing with some large wind shifts and were in total control as they went through them.

Over 40 years ago, while Hurricane David was on its way to Florida, I was on the last flight from Sarasota to Orlando (I think) before the rest of the flights were canceled. When we reached Orlando, the winds were incredible! We were told over the intercom that our landing would be rough and to buckle up! Not their exact words but it's what they meant. Anyways, the plane was tilting side to side and looking out the window, I would see the sky then see the ground then the sky then the ground, etc. When the wheels touched down, the whole plane like bounced. We couldn't pull up to the skywalk thingy and we all had to go down this ladder. (I was kind of disappointed they didn't have one of those chutes.). This one woman, who was tiny, had to be literally dragged into this basement/storage type place because the winds were so strong. It's an experience I'll never forget and I'll forever be thankful we had a GREAT flight crew! Every last one of them!

🤯😵. That Pegasus flight crew really believe they are invincible

That’s not snow on the 737 wing. It’s frost from the cold fuel. It forms after a descent from high altitude. As long as it doesn’t extend beyond the black painted lines on the wing it is acceptable for departure. Happens all the time.

True marvels of engineering.

Thank goodness it was a cargo plane, or the passenger's heads would be in the overhead bin.

That experimental Kitfox alarm sounded like the Jeopardy daily double sound effect.

I flip my kitfox like that all the time in flight simulator 2020 😂

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing .

The music in the end of each video is very soothing

What a great recovery from a very skillful pilot. These kinds of aviators win many nervous travelers across to plane travel. Sadly, while only a few, is a few too many, slip through the ranks. These must be weeded out and retrained.

Windshear and a cargo aircraft which according to 74pilot (I'm paraphrasing) can mean that pilots will take a harder landing if necessary

To be fair to the Kitfox pilot, at least his first priority was switching off all the systems instead of fiddling with the camera like that Chinese guy

Pretty sure I would be making a point of complaining to the airline if I had been a passenger of a plane that took off with snow on the wings.

It's kind of amazing what you can motivate yourself to do when you're motivated by sheer terror.

1:21 most shocking thing about the crash was the choice of white socks for his flight.

now my favourite channel on youtube .. thanks :)

@02:50 A 9/11 commemorative formation.

1:33 Columbian airlines with their latest haul of china white to the US!

I'd like the back story to the private jet, like something out of a movie

Pegasus never learns

I am pretty sure that 'Kitfox' was landing on a lake and not a field.... Does not matter, rather a spectacular 'arrival'. Also, kind of odd that the 737 taking off 'without removing the snow'... well, it does not LOOK like snow. What it looks like is there is only some light frost within the painted box on the wing. And isn't that where the fuel tank is? Which would mean that (maybe) that part of the wing is a bit colder than the other parts... which would mean that light first would accumulate there leaving the rest of the wing clear... which it sure looks like has happened. So no real problem with that, just go.

1:33 i can smell the drugs and/or druglord inside 😁😁

I’m no expert, but it seems the Ethiopian Airlines pilots made a good recovery in a potentially bad situation.

Where is Aerosucre?

1:09 plane flips over Plane:*8-bit video game sounds*

Always enjoy your videos!! 👍✈✈👍

Ethiopian stuck it down good and hard all things considered.

All credit to the Ethiopian airlines pilot. Handling that wind sheer so skilfully

Impressive how that private jet manages to go from 0 to 110-130 knots (I'm assuming. I could be so very wrong) in such a short space of time on that kind of runway. Love to see launches like that.

That clip says a hell of a lot a about the strength of the 777 landing gear. I guess they either bounce or they break.

Last clip is amazing

last one has the nam vets bringing back memories

Cargo planes have rough landings mainly because the Cargo cant leave a Review of the flight/airline

I loved the Kitfox pilot's white socks.

Hello i see all of tour videos continúe like THIS very good work!!

All in a days work - hope the Martinis didn't loose their olives 😂

Any landing you walk away from is a good 👍

1:33 Did anyone else hear Glenn Frey's "Smuggler's Blues" in their head? 😁

I bet the TCAS on those 4 planes were going nuts XD Which pilot lost control in this video?

where's the weekly clip from aerosucre??

Later that day that ethiopian pilot was immediately hired and promoted to owner of the ryanair company.

Taking off with wings covered with snow seems to me an almost criminal act... very, very dangerous! The snow may modify the wing profile and make you loose lift, crazy!!!

this is the reason why pegasusairlines does so much runway excursions

The snow on the wing looked minimal. The leading edges and control surfaces were clean and panel lines could be seen through the dusting of snow.

This was the biggest air show in Jeddah 2:49

Really love ure compilations. Good variety in them. 👍

The best channel

Rule #1: don’t lose control of plane Rule #2: …especially while landing

For sake of clarity, the most of people never experienced an actual "hard landing". Depends by airplane and manufacturer, but commonly the definition of hard landing is a landing where the peak of acceleration exceeds 2.1g. The Etyopian flight landing shown in the video for sure was quite rough but not hard landing.

That Kitfox was coming in hot!

More like "drug cartel boss escapes a federale helicopter via a beach dirt strip"

Lifting off without deicing the wings can go HORRIBLY wrong…

2:46 That one is epic

1:23 white socks and black shoes was the most dangerous manoeuvre on this Landing come on people think Fashion before Flying

At 2:20 apparently lift IS optional. It just takes a trace of ice to do ugly things to lift.

1:28 is hilarious....Drug runners with nice get away and a plane full of Colombian uncut. The streets of LA will be happy in the morning

Corrected title: "Plane Has Bumpy Landing."

The ET 777 was suffering PIO or "pilot induced oscillation", a fairly common characteristic of handling mainly with older pilots

Snow is no big deal on wings. Ice is a big deal.

nothing good is going on when a private jet is taking off from a dirt run way in the jungle

That was a navy carrier landing

OMG the Pegasus… in Sarajevo no less

Who lands on a snow covered field? Also why is the jet trying to evade the helicopter?

Great PIO job by the Ethiopian PF.

Memo from Ryanair to Ethiopian Cargo, "we do this with pax aboard, cheerio"

Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 7 Sep 22.

at least 3 of these clips have been in previous episodes

"Luckily no one was injured" Wait...

Great video!😸

Glad to see that drug plane make it into the air before being intercepted! The inflation this summer on all your favorite powdery substances has been a nightmare! :D my gold bond powder alone has gone up almost .75.

Love the informative video style!

1:33 Swiss001 moment right there. 🤣

0:15 9/10 Ryanair landing. Still some room for improvement though. Maybe land harder or break the gear next time. Lol.

The plane with snow covered wings " Attention passengers, I'm sure the snow will just blow off.Nothing to worry about."

Thay last clip is asome 🥊

If precipitation is not adhering to the wing the pilots can depart. Deicing an aircraft with snow on the wing, that can blow or be swept off, may cause problems, deicing fluid, can cause dry falling snow to stick to the wing. Deicing is complicated! Trust in your pilots is needed. So is good winter ops training for aircrew.

I believe the first two are the same aircraft, an Ethiopian Cargo B-777.

1:44 that is one long dirt strip😮

Something tells me the private jet that was taking off from a dirt strip belongs to the Cartel.

Fun fact: I’m the guy that said “OH SNAP OH” in the first clip

Pray that the ice . on the wing don't come off as a sheet and fall to ground hitting anyone. I was driving by a semi truck whose trailer had ice on top and a 4'X 8' sheet came off right onto my windshield, cracking the thing. Imagine a sheet falling 100s of feet through someones window or roof

From the classic A380 landing gear testing video, landing gear engineers watch the Ethiopian landing regularly every time they do the calculations.

No Aerosucre? Disappointing.
