As an instrument-rated pilot myself, i'm going with get-there-itis. I'm assuming this crew has flown into this airport many times, flying this same approach, knew there were no obstacles as they were over the sea and if they just flew along at decision altitude they'd eventually find the runway. They knew it was there, they'd see the lights and land. I'm constantly cautioned never to push limits beyond the MDA, DH or MAP, just go missed-approach. Small aircraft pilots do it when they are familiar with the airfield and the weather is getting worse, they just want to get down. Sometimes it kills them.

The airline I work for used to have an inordinate number of unstable approaches due to pilots improvising their own procedures to "make it in." The airline changed procedures to require a 1000-foot callout by the pilot flying(PF) stating his altitude, airspeed, and rate of descent. This served to remind the Pilot flying if he was descending at an excessive rate of descent, or if he was far off his VREF (approach) airspeed. Our airline also adopted a procedure by which the PF is obligated to conduct a go-around when at minimums with no runway environment in sight, at the MAP, or whenever ANYONE in the cockpit calls "GO AROUND!". In training, it is stressed that a go-around is yet another successful outcome to an instrument or visual approach. When I'm not flying for my airline (a scheduled U.S. carrier with several hundred 737s and 737s only), I teach in Cessnas and Piper single and multiengine airplanes. I stress the need for cockpit discipline and how a deliberately executed go-around is the mark of a true professional. Keep up the good work, Flight Channel. I enjoy watching your videos on my overnights and sharing them with crewmembers and students. After all, we are all students in an airplane.

@gabe-po9yi 2 жыл бұрын

Very good of your airline to redefine a go-around as not a missed approach (i.e., a failure), but as a technique when certain conditions exist. The more negative connotations that can be removed in regards to pilot performance, the better. How many of these videos have we seen where disaster occurred because a pilot was concerned about appearing inept.

@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 2 жыл бұрын

Can pilots not lose their licence for doing their "own thing"? I thought procedures were very defined and quite rigid. And is it not slightly arrogant, because they do so without the knowledge or consent of the passengers, who in fact pay the wages ? Sometimes ego ruins professionalism & in piloting or medicine or politics, it can be disastrous for others. Also was this not poor Crew Resource Management ? I'm surprised that the flight engineer wasn't ( even if privately) keeping his eyes & ears on the Captain & FO because you just never know if someone misses something obvious ( even if you trusted them not to).

@bettybayas4602 2 жыл бұрын

You said it... I am actually completely amazed that in 2021 there are not regulations requiring multiple security cameras in place on every commercial aircraft including in cockpit such as "dash cam" and "instrument cam"; and also strategically placed exterior cameras that can all be monitored on the flight deck to get a better understanding of any exterior situations that may arise in flight which cannot be seen from the interior of the plane... IMO its a no brainer for every new aircraft produced!..... and the flight recorders- what the heck is the deal with that? only 30 minutes or 2 hours? that is nonsense... In 1990 maybe that had to suffice, but 30 years later the digital technology is available... each CVR should record no less than 40 hours before looping and the FDR should be able to go back a few flights as well... And each recorder box should also be fitted with a GPS device that sends its position to a remote server in case it ends up in water so that its last location is known and thus the ULB can be quickly found... /rant

It's been proposed, at least in the U.S., but pilots are absolutely dead-set against it. They see the potential for airline management to micromanage every aspect of their flying by reviewing video of flights and disciplining them for perceived rule violations, and on a more basic level, they consider it an invasion of their privacy. I can see their perspective, to a point, but they are also one of the few groups of workers who aren't currently subject to constant on-the-job monitoring. A lot of long-haul trucking companies have added cameras facing into the cab and out the front windshield, not just for insurance purposes in case of a collision, but also to monitor their drivers for unsafe habits.

On VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions, meaning good weather and runway insight from far) we can disregard some warnings (not all) and use our judgment to continue the approach since sometimes (but rarely) the GPWS ( ground proximity warning system) might not be working properly and giving false indications. But never in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions, poor visibility and navigation is done by the aircraft instruments), never and I’ll say again, never. Especially passing the minimum descent altitude where most warnings are already inhibited to make sure only the big safe related warnings are heard.

There is more to it than just complacency. In aviation we have topics regarding poor pilot responses and you can find these lengthly discussion in Human Factors and CRM. Pilot Fatigue as well as Confirmation Bias are things that interfere with good pilot judgement. The FO has the duty to monitor and call the deviation once it started. Culture issues and the cockpit environment adds a lot to the mix as well. Complacency is just a tiny part of the chains that led to this event.

Now, I had a flying buddy who was instrument rated, and I flew with him both in actual instrument conditions and as his safety pilot when he would practice approaches "under the hood" (vision restricting device). The rule was simple: at decision height, he looks up. If he sees the runway, he continues on and lands. If he doesn't, we go around. Simple, no second guessing. How could this have gone so wrong?

@@PrinceOfTheCity1 No, they weren't doing anything at all related to keeping that aircraft in the air until intended. I think they were both looking outside, trying to "cheat" a little by getting just a littttle bit lower to get visual, but it ended up being an optical illusion and they didn't realize they were too low until it was too late. Essentially there were three pilots in that cockpit and no one challenged a thing. Lucky they didn't kill more people.

Wow! This is my new favorite Channel. The details and visualization, plus the research and data makes these videos captivating. All you ever hear on the TV is that a "plane crashed" or if an incident is not newsworthy you never hear anything at all. There is little comfort in any of these tragic episodes other than that the loss of life in many cases causes the industry to improve itself and its safety measures to avoid future incidents. The mechanical failures make you sad, the human errors make you angry. Overall the viewer is left with a sense of heightened awareness... the devil is in the details, we can all improve and lengthen our lives by paying attention to the little things and sometimes making our decisions based on experience and common sense instead of what redundancy tells us to do.

@@sylviekins Clearly a fan of ignorance. I know where I will be after I die, no illusions at all: nowhere, being nothing, doing nothing. The only comfort for people who do not understand death is that they will not be able to perceive any disappointment at the finality of their situation. Life after death is one of a set of lies designed to enable the leaders of a cult to have power over the gullible..The beauty of that particular fraud is that the gullible subject themselves to it voluntarily, even ramming their offspring into the abused masses. Christianity exploits one of the most atrocious lies of all: that "god" created mankind in his own image. That god is portrayed as an ancient white male, so if you are a black female, for example, you are inferior because you are not in "god's" image. (That is the bedrock of racism.) With my marriage to my wife and the birth of our children my family, with this generation and its four preceding generations, now comprises 8 ethnicities. None of us are inferior, no people like us are inferior, no people not like us are inferior, even though few of us and/or them are white males.

Thanks so much for yet another excellent video, always watch them with great interest. This one in particular caught my attention because between 2017 and 2020 I was based in PNG and frequently travelled on PX domestically and internationally. Earlier in the month that this accident happened, PX had included a stopover on Chuuk of the Tokyo - Port Moresby route and I happened to be on the inaugural flight which came with a sing-sing ceremony and speeches at Narita airport. As a result of which the flight departed about one hour late but because of that I got an amazing view of the Pacific at sunrise, followed by a smooth landing and subsequent take-off for the final part of the trip to POM. It gave me the shivers to hear about the crash only a few weeks later . . . That being said, I generally always had the impression that PX pilots were on top of their game but seeing what happened in this case I'm glad I no longer have to fly Air Niugini!

There was a massive disparity between the Captain and FO's flight hours, type time and ethnicity, although I suppose Australia is Pacific Ocean - ish. What the hell happened with these guys? I wonder what the final report said / will say. If a pilot shuts off the Autopilot close to landing is there a big enough panel warning if he doesn't declare it. How did they nearly all survive. Must have been an amazingly quick and plentiful recovery operation.
