I love a good "everyone survived" video.

This incident could have been avoided with four words: CA: "My plane." FO: "Your plane."

Another case of a blind spot in software design, just fortunate this one didn't kill anyone. At the same time, on a bouncy approach with wind shear and a trainee in the right seat, the captain should have called "my aircraft" and pushed the button for sole control through the side stick. But then the software flaw might have remained undetected and caused a fatal accident on some other flight. Heckuva way to do beta testing.

No mention why the Captain took partial command without saying anything to the co-pilot.

Incredible! So very glad everyone survived! I don't understand why they didn't fault the captain for interfering with the first officer. He should have allowed him to fly it, or said I'm taking over. I'm surprised something worse didn't happen with such conflicting information coming from both pilots. Thank you for another great presentation.

I'll never forget watching that inaugural Airbus flight in France, lo, so many years ago, where the plane flew into terrain after takeoff. Chilling and prescient.

I have been a subscriber almost since the beginning and I am extremely happy and impressed with the level of quality you have made this channel! Great work! You give great information, visuals, in the perfect amount of time! 10/10!!! Thank you so much! Keep up the excellent work!

OMG this was so well explained even with all the complexity of the situation.

As soon as I saw the title of this video, I knew it would be about an Airbus aircraft. I suspect that HAL, the computer in 2000 A Space Odessey was actually an earlier version of the computers installed in Airbus aircraft.

I misread the title as Pilot tried to murder everyone, LOL Very well done video. I always look forward to your uploads.

As someone who designed software (non-critical) for over 30 years I can't imagine sitting in a requirements review meeting and having everybody nod in agreement that it was a good idea to algebraically sum up the input from both controls.

Those magic words are music to my ears and bring hope to mankind and the future of air travel….. “Everyone Survived”

Wow, TFC! This is a terrific video…best ever. Thank you for including such clear technical explanations.

Lack of comms between the two pilots. The trainee F/O needed to formally turn over control of the aircraft to the captain who would then acknowledge it. Also they really were not well trained on the differences in responses between wire and hydraulic controls.

Another great Flight Channel video. I noticed that in the two newst (to me) videos, you show people which is a nice added touch of realism. So glad to see that everyone survived!

The primary cause of the accident is the double input of the pilots without communicating.

Bilbao airport is one of the airports where it is most difficult to land in Spain, due to cross-wind problems and turbulence caused by its proximity to the sea and the mountains that surround it. Nice video.

The Captain must shoulder the blame for attempted "murder" if you're really serious. When the weather shifted, the Captain should immediately have announced he was in command and switched off the co-pilot's stick. Then immediately announce a "go round"; full throttle, nose up, landing gear and flaps remain down. If the plane isn't a conscious entity, it can't bear responsibility for anoyone's death.

if the trainee was landing then the captain holds some resposabilty surely? if he wasn't undermining the trainee then the situation probably wouldn't have occured or at least would have been less dramatic.

I wouldn't say the plane tried to killed everyone. It did what it was designed to do and both pilots acting independently of one another confused the hell out it.

The background noise of the engines does add an element of foreboding to these videos that I can’t quite explain. Even though I’ve worked at an airport for 17 years and absolutely hate it… it’s a nice touch! 😱

Another excellent video, TFC! Y’all are the best flight channel out there!!

The demonstration is incredible. You have put your efforts at your best. The level of detailed accuracy - 10 out of 10!! It's more than just a video, it's a short film. Keep up with it#

Love your content. You always explain things so well. Additionally, when the incidents you cover are at night, you’re able to keep the screen well-lit. I especially like how you show actual conditions but then remove them so that the viewer can see what’s going on (hope that made sense to you). ❤

You've now created so many videos that you've run out of the "plane crashed, everyone dies" type. I knew this would happen, I KNEW it.

Looks like the captain needed some retraining.

Welcome to another episode of "Battle of the Airbus Joysticks"

Isn't the real culprit the flight crew? Both trying to fly the aircraft simultaneously.

Fly by wire is fantastic... but we all know experienced pilots can ignore procedures (priority button) in heated situations.

It's a great video, as usual. Only a thing, the terminal 1 of Barcelona that appears at the beginning of the video was inaugurated in 2009, In 2001 all flights boarded from the today terminal 2.

Glad to see all survived! Excellent video with attention to detail on the scenery being second to none! Very impressive. Simple communication here could have avoided a whole lot of trouble but glad to see lessons were learned and hopefully for the flight crew too 👍

Another Fantastic recreation. Your production has gone a long way since you started. Also 👍on ur Digital resolution only keeps getting better. Pls keep up the Quality videos

Great video and explanation as usual. Keep up the great work.

Very informative. You are truly an aviation expert.

Love these videos. Excellent work and really interesting learning about the events leading up to these incidents. ❤

Even with all of our flaws I would still rather have a Human pilot 100% in charge.

Thanks, excellent reconstruction of events. Hope you will eventually find out what happened at Pokhara ,Nepal.

Love the details of each video! Such a great channel

Over the past few years, yours has become one of our favorite aviation-themed channels. In fact I’d feel comfortable wagering that we’ve seen each & every video on the channel - and we’ve really enjoyed them. Please don’t allow yourself to go down the path of ‘click bait’ titles. Your content is FAR too professional & well done for this. We’ve been consistently impressed by the work you’ve done. But this was a bit too reminiscent of “A Liar in the Cockpit” (I think I have that right - ?) from not too long ago. At best, a pretty subjective reach to have made with a title… but at worst, in the same vein as this. A more subjective look into these mishaps would be fine, and in fact I’d encourage your doing it. Could be really interesting. There’s certainly much to talk about with many of these. But perhaps in a separate series or even a second channel. Having something like that among the long line of fact based videos that you’ve produced might take a bit too much of the shine off the really fine work. At any rate… I hope you’re alright with what’s only meant as constructive criticism. We DO really enjoy the hard work. -All the best

Love your videos @Theflightchannel for your next video, can it be the near miss at JFK that happened a couple of days ago.

One more comment, I don't watch anyone else, but both both of you, your both very good, it must take take you guys, a lot of work to this, well done an informative. Michael

My conclusion from this accident apart from the technical aspect is also due to the human performance and lack of Crew Resource Management (CRM) in the cockpit. Very good video. Keep it up!! 😍😍😍

What a fantastic channel this is. I know nothing about how planes function, but you give such good education on the subject. Don't test me later though.😆 I so admire the skills and calmness in these pilots. They are amazing and deserve a medal for every safe landing. I always want to applaud them at the end of every flight I'm on. 😄

Maybe the Captain's stick inputs were subconscious reflex actions rather than conscious & deliberate?

EVERYONE SURVIVED 🙏👏👏

I know that air travel is by far the safest way to travel. I am grateful for these posts! We learn by our mistakes, so learning is key!

Besides not using the overide button what happend to the captain useually giving the verbal confirmation "I got it"

This is 100% pilot error. This is why communication and the idea of "sterile cockpit" is so crucial. Another very great video here TFC 👍🏾

These videos are incredible. So well done.

Fantastic video, very good job. Congrats.

The original software design didn’t factor in human factors. How likely is it that in a near-crash situation both pilots will instinctively make similar control inputs? Very.

could you please make a video about el al flight 1862 , the bijlmer disaster i would love too see that one

Great video!

These videos do a great job making it seem authentic

It's fascinating how engineers learn from the mistakes and prevent them from happening again. Just like updates.

Seems to me if the pilot would have kept his hands off the stick and let the co-pilot fly, they would have been fine.

Aren't the pilots supposed to announce who is flying and the other pilot must confirm.

Great video! THIS IS WHAT SCARES ME the unusual weather patterns messing with the cabin crew. This airport is on the *delete* list.

The sound of the engines on your videos is a relief for mi tinnitus. Sounds like White noise.

The pilots played Tekken on an Airbus joystick. Very nice!

Excellent channel and one thing that could make it even better is to provide voiceover with or in place of the text.

Excellent video in all respects. Thanks

That’s scary!! I’m so glad everyone survived! ❤

Really nice visuals.

And this is why you buckle your seat belts, raise your tray tables, etc. What a rough landing!

What Flight Sim are your videos based on? I've seen MSFS2020 once or twice but is it mostly P3D you're playing? If it is that's amazing, it looks stunning: The graphics and everything, wow. Love your videos btw :)

I notice there is very little video about the Learjet crash on Olive Ave. in Fresno, Calif. on Dec. 14, 1994. The pilots kept the aircraft from crashing into a Elementary school. It was noon time. Aircraft was a contract aircraft for the Air National Guard.

I’m happy that Pamplona is recognised during this video. Not nice in such a situation, but it kinda gives a person goosebumps knowing how well you know Bilbao Airport over the years…

Your videos are must see. Excellent. Aussie Bob

Outstanding graphics on this one.

3:23 Bruh that push-back tug is going crazy!

Video idea:how Japan airlines flight 123 lost it's vertical stabilizer and crashes

This is why passenger flights should always have at least two pilots. Technology will fail at times.

Damn, I would be petrified if that happened to me

That’s not the plane’s fault, that was poor CRM with a little bit of bad weather. The captain should have taken over in a situation like that in my opinion.

i think the main cause of this incident is lack of trust from one pilot to other when one is flying other is not supposed to interrupt any flying input, unless the pic wants to take the control and say i have cntrol

Good day to have a new video to watch

Be keen to hear how trainees career progressed

As my stepfather likes to say, "If it ain't Boeing, I'm not goin'!" lol

OK, maybe not ALL the fault of the airplane (although why anybody would want to fly on a plane that even the manufacturers deem little more than a BUS, is beyond me) but instead due to two un-alert (is that even a word?, no matter) not setting either of their inputs to "priority". 🤦🏻‍♂ Thanks TFC, excellent retelling as ever!

Lovely music in this one 👍🏻

Well... to be fair, the pilots were very much accomplices in trying to murder everyone, it wasn't all the plane's fault.

Congrats T.F.C

I wonder if you could bring the Mamonas Assassinas' 1996 accident, they were very popular in Brazil back to the 90s

Awesome video, even better ending

"I have control" end message.

can't wait to see one on the china one and the nepal ones recently

Though a minor defect in the software was found, it was ultimately pilot error. Neither of them enabled priority control when both of them were trying to control it at the same time in FLW.

Didn’t the exact same thing happen in Brazil, and the plane DID murder everyone on board. I believe it refused to stop on the runway and just kept going at more than idle speed.

To be fair, controls on large aircraft haven't been actuated by cables for a long time. Rather they used hydraulics. It requires too much force to have simple cables move the control surfaces.

The departing airport wasn't the only thing called "El Prat" the captain was a complete prat as well. If he wasn't happy at the way the approach was going all he had to say to the co-pilot was "I have control" or at least hold the red button in I think it's for 20 seconds and priority is, then given to his controller. Even with aircraft telling them "duel input" the captain still didn't grasp the situation. Did the plane try to kill them? No, the Captain made a damn good job of it himself. So, Airbus altered a few parameters ok, perhaps they were needed, but for Heavan's sake.

Can’t wait to see a recreation of yeti airlines flight 103 disaster in Nepal that crashed a few days ago I like seeing these videos

Hi, could you please do the reenactment of the Finncomm AT42 incident at Seinäjoki on January 1st 2007, where the aircraft performed 4 go-arounds due to inexperienced crew, before diverting to an alternate airport?

It's just as well that this error in the computer settings was discovered during a very dangerous but non-fatal landing!

Really looking forward to the recreation of AAL106 & DAL1943 at JFK last week

The *priority take over* button usage should be the first point of Pilot training showing how important it is.

Well done video, thanks for the explanations - non-pilot here -- what exactly was wrong with the controls before Fly-By Wire? Thanks in advance for any clarification...

Airbus has seen human-machine interface problems on flight decks leading to accidents where systems override pilot inputs, sometimes with lethal results. I held onto the "if it ain't Boeing I ain't going" mantra as long as I could, but Airbus has become so prolific I don't have much of a choice anymore.

Hi why is everything damage beyond repair? can`t get this plane looks very much fixable especially its almost new

To me thats not the fault of the plane, but two pilot simultaneously controlling the aircraft, which they never should have done. The warnings about dual input were ignored. If i did understand the explanation, had that button on the stick be pressed, only one pilots input would have controlled the plane and the crash would not have happened.
