Truth ✅️ ✅️✅️👍👍👍

ljessecusteri you mentioned ego, any pilot have to put that aside, you have passengers/crew that are relying on you wether captain/first officer, they do switch roles, one flying and or monitoring. Again, well done Air India, atc. Many carriers do hire pilots that were military. That's perhaps is a good call on what carrier you are planning to fly with. Understand that military pilots, depending on what type of craft they flew, training is still key.

Air India is a terrible airline. But props to the pilots

@@uri.voltsv 20 other airlines rank higher than Air India in accident incidents:1) Air France, 2) American Airlines, 3) China Airlines, 4) Korean Air, 5) Pakistan Airlines, 6) United Airlines, etc. ("Easy Jet" is a low-cost airline and has a stellar record).

@@isabellind1292 I’m not saying safety record. I flew a total of 30 hours on them on an ultra long haul round trip. Terrible idea. Fire alarm went off on descent and we had terrible food, ife was broken. Dirty seats.

Only the pilots !

yes that was a very good movie NASA put on for us

flat dead head like yours@@enochianwolf

@@deepthinker999True!

A lot of Air India senior captains (the ones that fly the super long hauls) are ex Indian Air Force, and their methodical approach shows. My grandpa used to fly these on the first routes Air India operated after flying bombers and transports in the Indo-Pak wars.

Same 😬

...and for Air India to let that plane go in that condition is criminal.... but then consider the airline

There are usually more pilots for long haul flights who take shifts its not the same 2 pilots who fly the entire 15 hour flight

My father is a senior jumbo captain (retired). He knew hundreds of other pilots in the company and would put his life in practically any one of their hands. You've got to be one calm stable mature individual to take on responsibility for a $300 million aircraft and 300 souls.

They all were (or sounded) very calm throughout

sounds like "Kennedy Steve" as ATC

It is a brotherhood we share.

Totally agreed!

Absolutely, its good to hear that everyone crew, atc, we're in sync. Glad that they were able to land at the alternative airport Newark.

Proud of what? Pilot ego? He knew the failure from the start and decided to continue all the way till the point with low fuel, terrible

​@@Blast6926 The most important thing here is that the pilot managed to land the plane safely. Is it wrong to be proud?

@@aviationid0116 typical indian commenting, so he continued and relied on the 50/50 chance of making it, ya mоron

@@Blast6926 Hahah, there's something wrong with your little brain.

Yes to both crew and ATC working at almost minimums everywhere and as one said "kinda busy". Working both on the ground and in the air on days such as those is really not that pleasant when an emergency flares up. And that 777 lost so much of what was so needed -- YIKES!!!

Yes, me too. I was impressed with K Steve on this more than anything. He knew his stuff, understood exactly what they needed, and was a terrific help. Terrific crew of course. I think he doesn't like flying much, iirc.

@@pomerau Steve? Oh, he's okay with flying. He's said the only problem is, it's too easy for him to slip back into his ATC persona and tell the heavies to get their big butts outta the way, lol! AVL got to interview him this past summer. He is completely retired now, and loving every minute of it! I miss hearing him over the JFK freqs! The Air India crew was amazing, considering everything went wrong. In my excitement over hearing Kennedy Steve, I forgot to give them their props. You AirIndia pilots were rock stars!

The incident happened in 2018, Steve I think retired in 2017?

The controller does really sound like him, though.

@@SwapBlogRU Yeah, that's what I thought... sounds so much like Kennedy Steve!

props?, it isa jet plane.

You’re referring to the Avianca 707 that never declared an emergency and crashed near JFK due to fuel exhaustion.

@@kcindc5539 That is correct.

Props in this case are compliments

@@K1OIK Mad Turboprops!

Not

Absolutely well done !! They had so many things so wrong, ever so quickly. Fuel issue, if not mistaken, weather,fog. They had to to a visual approach to the alternate airport, Newark. Well done Air India crew

Lol absolutely not

​@@Blast6926lol absolutely yes

I remember that one, I was a kid at the time. Came down near John McEnroe's house. Basically an illustration of the Swiss cheese model - everything that could go wrong, did. Long time ago now.

Most likely, electrical failure to cause multiple instruments to fail.

Awe, don't be scared. Flying is the safest mode of transportation.

kinda?

I wanted to find that out too but couldn't. Interesting it wasn't mentioned, but I'd wager Air India itself has shoddy maintenance practices. It's a shame such great pilots have to deal with that if that is the case.

The title does not imply shouting at all. You need a dictionary very badly.

​@@ewathoughts8476That's because they've changed it. The title when I first watched the video was "WE CAN'T LAND!" It was clickbait and they rightly changed it.

Yes, Air India has a massive aircraft maintenance facility within India, supported by both Airbus and Boeing. Apart from this, both Airbus and Boeing operate manufacturing and service facilities in India in partnership with local companies like Tata. There are a few private MRO firms as well. The issue with this particular Air India flight was that during the 2015-2019 period, the airline was facing a lot of financial problems with unpaid debts, etc., and being a government-owned airline the bureaucracy was equally horrible with a lot of Red tape. Hence most of their flights had unserviceable equipment or flying with minimum required systems. The government was desperately looking to sell off the airline to any private organization and in 2022 Tata Group acquired the airline. Tata is a big conglomerate firm in India that manufactures everything from steel to automobiles to assembling iPhones.. and Air India was initially started by the Tata group way back in the 1940s before the then-Indian government passed laws and forcefully took over the airline management.

@@antaripbiswas1569 Very interesting. Has the safety of the airline improved since Tata took back control? For the sake of everyone and their families I hope so. The flight crew was a marvel of calm efficiency. I hope they received some kind of acknowledgement of their professional skills in bringing the bus down safely.

@@kathyr2792 Yes in the past 1 year Tata has improved upon its maintenance practices. A lot of planes, especially older Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft were lying mothballed due to lack of parts. Those planes have been fixed and brought back into service. Further, Tata has ordered over 400+ new aircraft from Airbus and Boeing together as they plan to retire the existing fleet. So yes things are improving!

This sadly will continue to be the case for whatever reason it is, I wish we could get the old TheFlightChannel but I don’t think that will be the case.
