Who would've thought the fact that they were slightly rerouted 60 miles off their original course would end up being the reason why everyone survived this unprecedented disaster. Those pilots deserved to be recognized for their skillful maneuvers during this situation. I definitely would consider them heroes 🫡

Yeah since over the ocean the air traffic can't really control them they put them in separations the guys that are in your "lane" are about 30 minutes ahead and behind. There are though like a bunch of "lanes" and I'm guessing they are separated too by 30 minutes ish away because no full radar coverage no air traffic control until they get back over some land again.

I did the 340 Conversion and flew the 340 /300/600 for 4 and half years and found the Airbus system was totally illogical and had Many problems, that Factory couldn't sort out . I left SAA and went back to fly 747/300 all over the World until my Retirement, I predicted, because the pilots where loosing their Skills that there would be an accident because of the illogical Airbus 340 etc systems

I don't know if they will point it out in the documentary but the Ethiopian water crash they were in shallower water they actually hit a reef when they ditched. Also to add the Sully incident where they went down in the Hudson river was the first time a ditching went ok. In open water wave action probably would have been just as bad so the Ethiopian flight really tried their best being near a shore for possible rescue I still think they did more than their best and are heroes.

@decyattysyachpchyol 15 күн бұрын

@@SavingSoulsMinistriesThe problem there is the navigational corridors. Gliding means altitude changes over time. For safety, planes need 1000 ft vertical separation. If everyone is gliding regularly, there is a much higher chance of planes getting on collision courses, and what if TCAS escape maneuver leads to a collision course with another plane? It would make ATC's jobs much harder and undo-able over large oceans where ground radar is less detailed. They do try to fly as high as practical, as it uses less fuel at higher altitudes.

@phreak761 14 күн бұрын

@@SavingSoulsMinistriesBecause it would be extremely slow and extremely fuel consuming to have to keep climbing back up to high altitude, at high altitude a plane burns much less fuel than at low altitude. Creating maximum fuel economy over distance is incredibly important for any airline.

Both sides were at fault however the deductions to do what was done they contradicted themselves. You don't transfer fuel if there is a problem, ok. He declares based on the warning not being on 15 minutes ago there is no problem, continue. So if there is no problem then surely the fuel isn't low either by his logic used. Since he declared there is no problem to cause the fuel imbalance. The checklist did not give them a solution and explanation to the exact scenario true. Though the checklist they did have had they actually followed it would have kept the plane from running out of fuel on one engine. The engines simply do not use that much more or less fuel than the other without a mechanical issue or a leak. An engine may need to run rich yet a properly running engine doesn't serious or not there is a problem regardless. Step 1 if there is a problem don't proceed and transfer.

While such disasters are obviously awful for the passengers - it's got to be 100 times worse for the pilots as whatever the outcome, they're first to know it whether good or bad, and to see or know you're not only going to die, but maybe 300+ passengers will die with you - that has to be much tougher to cope with!

You would think the pilots should've realized there was a major fuel leak once the fuel remaining didn't match the expected, and they would think to close the cross-feed to save the remaining fuel. Had it been a computer error, so too would have been the imbalance warning, so again, stopping the cross-feed would be best practice. Anyway, they did an amazing job in getting down safely and no-one died, so I'll give them credit for that.

Yes the pilots should have called a mayday earlier. But aircraft just like cars give false readings. But the things they don't show you. Pilots know how far their aircraft can glide and I bet kept that in their minds. Stay at the highest altitude for the nearest airport so they can glide to it.

When the pilots first noticed a fuel warning, whether false or not, they were supposed to declare an emergency landing. Who wants to be flying in an airplane playing Russian roulette? The pilots are responsible for not taking the fuel warning system seriously, and for not declaring an emergency landing. The mechanics are responsible for putting the wrong parts, and not reporting it to the FAA. The lead mechanic is responsible for giving orders to mechanic to install the wrong parts. (1) The lead mechanic is guilty of NEGLIGENCE, for giving orders to the mechanic to install the wrong part, and not reporting it to the FAA. (2) The mechanic is guilty of NEGLIGENCE, for installing the wrong part, and not reporting it to the FAA. (3) The pilots are guilty of NEGLIGENCE, for failing to declare an emergency landing when the fuel warning light first came on. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, it only takes common sense to figure this out.

You can’t blame the Pilots as Airbus seem to want to do. Whilst we don’t need a balms culture, if you are going to blame anyone it should be Rolls Royce of Derby UK. They should have supplied all of the necessary parts with the new refurbished engine. The film was very good but the Comms was far from correct. On the first instance they would have to have called up Shanwick Control which is actually based in Ireland. To do this they would have called up in HF (Short Wave) single side band radio. You get a lot interference and the communication would have been very difficult to hear in real life. They then would have had to call Santa Maria Control in the Azores also on HF see above. Then and only when they were close enough to the Airfield would they have been able to call up the Tower on VHF Radio where there would have been little or no interference. In my book as someone who had done a lot of flying, those two Pilots and the Cabin Crew are hero’s. AH

The first Officer knew what he was doing - the Captain did not. When the crossfeed was turned on, manual fuel calculations clearly showed that lateral fuel balance was not being achieved, and the crossfeed should immediately have been turned off. I would have shut down No. 2 engine at that time, as it was clearly either leaking or consuming excessive fuel. For the Captain to say that it must be a computer problem - continue - is negligence. Irrespective of faulty maintenance, this should never have happened. The approach was at all times too fast, too high - a small sideslip would quickly have corrected that, being quicker and easier than flap extension. I am glad that everyone survived.

So often in these videos we hear of the problem of pilots not being able to see what is happening to engines and wings. This day and age, there has to be a way of installing cameras without affecting the handling of the plane.

The Airline Mechanics made a crucial error. The proper parts were not installed when the engine was replaced.. Nothing to do with Airbus Corporation. Airline policies were at fault. While fuel was still being fed to the engines, pilots discussed a possible major leak. They had been in contac with the Azores Tower -- they were ready to accommodate them. Yet they didn't change course until both engines run dry. As mentioned by the pilots, they would be penalised by the Airline, if the situation was due a mere computer error. Safety versus tight Company policies. And for the Pilots, the wrath of the Top Brass was clearly a major threat. Unfortunately, a quite common environment in most Airlines

There was very little publicity about this near catastrophic accident in Canada. The other large charter airline company, Canada 3000, had just gone bankrupt after 9-11, and this incident with the other large charter airline, Air Transat, was happening at the same time. I had to do my own research to find out more about this event, it appeared to be deliberately suppressed.

The companies Airbus by not supplying the brackets with the new engine caused the first issue, the supervisor of the mechanic who ordered the mechanic to fit a bracket that was not a 100% replacement committed a grave mistake (ergo the fine) but in my mind the pilots as well and the pilot narrator was obviously covering for them they had not been trained for the scenario. One wing had less fuel (assuming it is not a computer error) so after opening the cross-feed after 10-15 minutes or possibly earlier they should have seen some improvement of rebalanced fuel loads and that did not happen so at that stage they should have closed the cross feed and they waited. Plus one would think that pilots would be trained to assume the worst and work from there i.e. fuel leak over computer error.

If the pilots would have reclosed the fuel crossfeed and just the one fuel tank had fuel , wouldn't that have caused a center of gravity, weight unbalance problem? Sense the fuel tanks are in the wings ..

@justadudeffs 16 күн бұрын

You CAN trim the aircraft to offset the weight imbalance. Not being type rated on the A330 I'm not 100% sure it could offset that big of an imbalance but likely it could.

@justadudeffs 16 күн бұрын

@firemann3295 there are VERY few reasons to voluntarily shutdown a working engine in flight and this isn't one of them. That being said it may have shut down anyway if they closed the crossfeed depending on how the fuel system is set up on the A330.

@cardinaloflannagancr8929 15 күн бұрын

It depends sometimes the crossfeed can't be closed after it was opened or vise versa whether by design or failure of a component. I don't recall if that was the case here or not. It sounds like they just didn't believe what the computer/instruments told them except the fuel level. Leonard Skynard's plane ran out of fuel and crashed due to a couple reasons. But the deal breakers were not trusting the fuel level and not correctly figuring fuel consumption. They had 1 rough running engine and put it themselves into auto rich mode which uses way more fuel. They knew there was a problem said it was nothing important and would take off and check it at the next airport, which instead was trees and the dirt. They figured the fuel based on the last aircraft type they flew so were flying with basically no reserve fuel for an alternate airport or holding pattern etc. Here though they also were using much more fuel. they even noticed well before crashing and didn't believe either fuel gage. Even when the co-pilot declared an emergency and said we are out of fuel the pilot came on and contradicted him. Saying it is only indicated we are out of fuel we are not declaring an emergency. This was even after the engines were already cutting out and turning off.
