These presentations are truly excellent. As a retired pilot, I would be one of the first to criticise any factual inaccuracies, I've yet to discover one, concise and to the point, professionally constructed. Well Done all round.

The Check Captain made a few mistakes, but he essentially saved the plane and everyone's life.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen to Air Transat. Our pilot in command today is a trainee. Enjoy your flight.” What a mess.

"We have clearance Clarence." "Roger, Roger." "What's our vector Victor."

Needed a check-check Captain.

The perfect example of non-existent Crew Resource Management. That might end fatal.

It is amazing how much trouble can arise from an inadvertent TO/GA activation...

Any training to fully plug in your headphones …

An air trainee captain flying 89 passengers in snowy conditions. Makes perfect sense to me.

Another banger, Allec Josh! Deep analysis and explication of these incidents is so vital to prevent them from reoccurring - you do this very efficiently in all of your videos.

The passengers must have been terrified.

These videos certainly give an interesting perspective to flying!

Wow if that's a Training Captain - Sounds like they recruit from - Captain Crunch Cereal Airlines !

I look forward to Thursdays and my dose of Allec Joshua Ibay

The fact that this doesn't have a wikipedia article, nor is it mentioned in Air Transat's wikipedia page under the accidents section baffles me. I wanted to read more after watching this not gonna lie.

Can understand that they were overwhelmed. However, in someways shows that pilots today rely, and I trained too much on automation, and not on hand, flying the most basic stuff, you learn when flying a Cessna is the relationship between climbing, descending and power, and if the control forces are high, then re-trim it should be 100% intuitive specially in airliner where it is a very easy electric trim. You would think where stick forces are great that would be your first instinct. What is frightening to me is when these crews are busy and overwhelmed they actually forget/fail to just fly the aircraft in the most basic way. The stories like this, that have become heroic, such as the Sully, story Gimli glider taca airlines on the levy-There’s a numerous others are pilots, who, actually not only able to stay calm, but have excellent stick and rudder skills still.

Coincidence, unrealistic assumptions and bad luck. Glad they did not become another fatal accident flight.

This can happen to the best; it was just bad luck that it did for the PIC with another chap behind him watching - whose inputs, incidentally, were handy and prevented an accident!

Automation is your friend until it isn't.

That was the most stressful take off I've watched, and I've seen a lot of Allec's videos. Talk about the stick leading the blind man.

89 people had no idea how close to death they were. 2 knuckleheads in command. 😮

Well put together my Friend ! .

The only thing malfunctioning were the pilots.

For some reason it reminded me of “Samir, listen to my calls!”

Million dollar flying machine, 2 experienced pilots, a routine take-off goes FUBAR because the pilot's headset became unplugged?!? 😮 Did they add a headset checklist item to the take off checklist?? 😅

It was descending rapidly though .... isn't that the holy grail of attention grabbers during the take off climb out? They were only aiming for 3,000ft I know. I'll be honest, I thought this was going to hit dirt when I saw it go below 1,000 ft on the excellent graphics here. I was trying to remember such a catatrophy. In the end, my empathy only went out to the aircraft after a long life. BTW did the A310 have sidesticks or yokes? I can never get my head around why there's strong physical forces needed on a fly by wire system.

He always the best and most accurate. Kudos to you.

My question is, how did the trainee captain make it through the simulator phase of the training. It is apparent the trainee had little if any situational awareness and seriously acked aircraft operational knowledge.

Is the trainee captain not an experienced co-pilot before this? If so, why does it seem like they become all thumbs and mush for brains?

Amazing what can happen when something comes ever so slightly detached!

I thought I had seen the aircraft registration somewhere before, and this aircraft was used as Air Transat flight 961 which was the incident in 2005 over cuba.

I thought they "bugged" those speeds. Even in a glass cockpit they can set those speeds.

New subsciber po bait ng tatay nyo po .

I guess someone will never get that fourth bar 😅

How not to fly a passenger jet: Step 1: Be the trainee captain of this flight

I don’t think the trainee pilot passed the check.

These two should never have been allowed to fly anything but a Cessna 150 and only in VFR.

Love your videos. Would it be possible to know if the crews in volved in sucessful landings are still flying.

almost felt like the Boeing engineers were collaborating with Airbus for a minute.....

C-GPAT was the same plane that suffred the incident of Flight 961 😳

The complex Bus AP strikes again, along with lots of human errors...

Did they both keep their jobs ?😮

These are great snow graphics. Well done, Allec!

Airbus jets can have runaway trim too? I thought that was just a Boeing feature!

Why did the trainee captain turn off the autopilot a few seconds after the check captain engaged it? Who was right?

....i've got to think there were some upset passengers on this flight!

I'm wondering if maybe both of these pilots needed more training.

11:37 it's Adam air flight 574 not flight 571

This was almost a catastrophe back in 2008. Imagine how serious things could get now with a pilot shortage and widespread DEI hiring in airlines and ATC. Take the bus or train is my advice (Retired ATP)

A fairytale that never happened

The Airbus A310 has a control column? I thought all Airbus planes used the Joystick control.

Would have thought that after a minute or so they would have noticed a lack of communication between the two of them via headsets. "Lips move, I can't hear what your saying" to paraphrase.

And now...let's hear from the experts

What are the odds of both pilots having a terrible Monday on the job at the same time? They both should have kissed Mother Earth upon landing.

did he pass his check ride?

Is it unusual to train someone during a snowstorm? Just wondering. Maybe it's considered routine in Canada?

Flying in inclement weather always makes me nervous. This situation described in the video was complicated and involved. Luckily the pilots had a guardian angel.

Nice

Did they fly without auto-pilot?

Almost most incidents on earth and it's space are human factored.

Was that pilot IFR rated? How about the check pilot. The emergency is the captain trainee needs more training. That is nuts.

V1 and Vr are bugged. The flying pilot should have had enough SA to rotate at Vr. What's the back story that the trainee was so weak ?

Does this mean the check captain also failed the check ride?

The control column was unusable…due to the trim was in complete oposite direction…..this is why they couldnt move it…the 310 is a dangerous aircraft the most dedliest……..

"Sonny. That was close". I find near miss incidents like this just as interesting. Sadly, with the current push to lower admission standards in order to fill "diversity" quotas, we will likely have a lot more like this soon.

Let’s just face ❤it SO MUCH CAN GO WRONG and when it does you’re usually toast.

Where's the narrator?

I would wish you gave me half, or even a whole second extra time to read the text! Please.

How can a trainee captain be so incompetent?

An airport named Trudeau. What a nightmare.

Dumb and Dumber

Cockpit Mayhem | Air Transat Flight 211

This one definitely had the beginnings of a "everyone on board is killed". Glad it didn't work out that way! SPOILER ALERT: The comment above contains spoilers. If you don't want to know about it, you shouldn't have read the comment. 👍
