Brilliant thinking. 💜

Makes me wonder whether ETOPS should come with better medical support on board. Without it, passengers on an ETOPS flight should be made aware that in case they suffer a medical emergency there may be a delay of up to xx hours or more before medical attention can be provided. Something as routine as appendicitis can become deadly in 6 hours if left untreated.

I was thinking as the video came to a end, and before I read your comment, that there wouldn't be many Chinese speakers for translation in Anchorage, but how great that there was, and they were able to help at short notice.

I've met younger ethnic chinese staff at chinese restaurants who don't even speak any chinese dialects. It's great that the community in Anchorage were able to help in this case, it would have been even more challenging for the hospital staff without translators.

@@petep.2092 I had an experience like this with a flight crew leader -- basically, I was in the middle of a 28-hour journey across the world and was feeling a bit nauseated. I had just boarded my flight, and I asked to use the restroom. The flight crew leader started freaking out and warned me that if I had a medical emergency, I wouldn't be able to get help for likely 8-12 hours. He actually almost kicked me off the plane before I reassured him that I was fine and just a bit tired from the long travel... It turns out, he had just had a flight the previous day in which some experienced appendicitis over the middle of the Pacific Ocean and it was HOURS before the person was able to get proper medical treatment, he was clearly still very shaken up by the whole ordeal.

That’s the spirit!!

Well what about us Indians? Will we be able to watch while having breakfast?😅

Still working on the coffee. Breakfast can wait.

Its almost midnight here

​@@MentourPilotSpirit? I thought you fly for Ryanair

Well it's rare for there to be an incident report when there was no loss of life and the plane landed safely, so the number of times a pilot got confused and mishandled a stall is probably overrepresented in documentaries. Remember Petter usually shies away from anything without an official report (in fact he only once did so without a report) so we're not going to hear much about the times a stall was handled correctly. In fact given there was no one dead, I'm surprised there _is_ a report this time since, again, it's usually reserved for incidents with loss of hull or life.

@@alex_zetsuyeah, exactly. As much as I want to learn about airplane accidents, I also fully recognize the hundreds of times safer flying is than other forms of transportation and the fact that accidents are reporting on the times things didn’t go well (usually), not the more common times when something goes wrong but the pilots handle it well. I think this often confuses less educated people in this area into thinking that plane accidents are common and pilots don’t handle emergencies well, when the opposite is the case.

@@alex_zetsu 2 people died.

If they did nothing the plane proably would have corrected itself and they woudl have avoided all this.

@@-SUM1- Oh I missed that. I thought there were only injuries. I guess in the back of my mind once the plane tocuhed down the inccident was over.

And yet, the whole design of the control mechanism sounds brain-dead. The stable operation should not require permanent tension on the control cables, EVER. Tension is an invitation for things to break, towards the one or another direction.

It was this and other peculiarities that eventually relegated the MD-11 to cargo work only.

Agreed the mechanism is bonkers. The FAA mandate to make the mechanism “fail open” created a problem that was both more likely and more severe than the problem they were trying to fix.

​@@DuRoehre90210as someone who uses Floyd Rose bridges on his guitars I agree with this statement wholeheartedly.

MD tried many "New" things to make sales many of their ideas were badly engineered and executed, much of this is due to how the company was organised, Management > bean counters > engineering. Thin push rods to lock baggage doors what could go wrong, those big bolts holding the engines on we can go a size down and save some money, & this one let's make this airliner unstable as to see what happens.

Thank you for the glowing response friend! Stay tuned! 😎💓

BBC target readers are different from MentorPilot’s audience. i love both platforms anyway.

I've been wanting to design a game where you get an actual college education in your field of choice. VR University, you attend a virtual university with a fully explorable campus. You can meet new people and you must go to your classes like normal. You could also party on the weekend. It would be a huge deal for not only game design but also in public education. For $60-$120 you will get a college education and a virtual social life as well. I can't wait until we get to the point where this is possible. I mean it's technically possible now, but a lot has to happen and a lot has to change for this idea to fully work as designed.

This is by far my favorite flight channel

That’s Exactly what I want to hear!!

@@MentourPilot me too!

@@MentourPilot Is their any paperwork to complete when handing over control in flight?

My favorite was _X-Men: the Animated Series_ . Sunday was bad, though. The choices were (1) religious programming, like literally watching a preacher read the Bible (boring) (2) Golf (boring). This was before KZfaq or the Internet. I'm old.

I live in Juneau, and my family constantly asks me why it's such a big deal for me to have to go to Anchorage to see a medical specialist, and why sometimes I go to Seattle instead. It's just so hard for them to comprehend how big Alaska is, even though they know all the stats about its size. It took me a year to adjust to the distances just between towns in Southeast...Anchorage and Fairbanks are like different worlds lol.

Indeed, with the large number of injured passengers and a stable aircraft, it would have been better to proceed to Anchorage after the incident and get people to hospitals in less time. I say that knowing that hindsight is 20/20 and the people involved made the best decisions they could with the information they had available, of course.

Yeah, I do the same -- keep my seatbelt fastened the whole time -- for exactly this reason.

Same. There's really no reason to not wearing the safety belt, unless going to the WC.

Well, with a 10 hours flight, you usually have to take the chance and go to the toilet at least once. But I also try to minimize the time without having a seat belt on. Pilots as well on these flights, by the way - the relief crews have to get to their rest quarters at some time, or also to the toilet.

What do you do when you have to use the bathroom?

@@PCLHHWC?

Indeed - fortunately.

Still heard to this day as dozens of idiots take their belts off prematurely while the plane is still rolling snd pulling into the stand

I don’t understand why passengers unbuckle their seatbelts when the seatbelt sign is turned off. It’s not uncomfortable to wear your seatbelt at all phases of flight unless you are a plus size person. You can’t even feel it most of the time.😊

A recent study found that air turbulence over the Atlantic had increased by 55% from 1979 to 2000. And even a few weeks ago, a woman died on a business jet from turbulence. Wearing your seat belt is a must unless you have to be moving around - and you are correct, we HAVE become smarter. Every time I fly into Houston, it's a complete roller coaster due to the constant rain and marine layers mixing in odd ways. It wasn't this bad back in the 80s for sure.

We have very little "bad air" over Africa (where I live and fly over mainly) and I still don't remove my seatbelt unnecessarily and when I must I belt up immediately after.

So happy to hear that you find them helpful!! 💕 Please check out my app 👉🏻 app.mentourpilot.com as well. I made it specifically for nervous flyers.

@MentourPilot Thank you Petter, I'll do just that 👍

​@@Tcb0835what happened?

​@justcommenting4981 Nothing particularly dramatic, to be honest. I'm an infrequent flyer anyway, and we got caught in the tail end of a tropical storm. It just meant lots of prolonged buffeting. They kept us strapped in, and all food/drink services were cancelled. As I say, for a frequent flyer, I'm sure it wouldn't have been half as traumatic, but it did shake me up a bit.

was there lots of blood all over the place? sounds like ridiculously violent affair…

@@XxfishpastexXsounds like it….

I wanna see what you saw.

I was absolutely going to point this out. Would love a Mentour Pilot video discussing the novel 😎

There's never a scenario in which pilot induced oscillation shouldn't be blamed on the pilot.

I was thinking the same thing.

In this case the pilot didn't control more than would normally be needed to correct the problem. The issue is the controls were overly sensitive taking what should have worked and turning it into over controlling. There was some blame for the pilot but the major players were improper training and an unstable design. Unstable designs are great for fighters and acrobatics but for a normal aircraft or commercial aircraft, you should almost be able to take your hands of the wheel and the plane will fly its self. For the DC 11, it needed a computer running all the time to keep it stable.

@@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat Well, I want to make several points to you. Yes, that person might feel that other religions are wrong, and he can feel that way if he wants, because he, like everyone, has the right to his beliefs. It's not okay for you to act like he is wrong if those are his beliefs, because that means you are not allowing him the same right that everyone has - which is, as I said, the right to believe whatever you wish when it comes to God. Next point is that you're being hypocritial by putting him down for stating his beliefs, while, at the same time, you, yourself, are broadcasting your thoughts and feelings on beliefs. Now, we all know that hypocrisy is not okay, so kindly stop it. You say you are not attacking him, but you clearly are. So own up to it, or, better yet, don't attack him simply because of his beliefs. Weather he follows the idea of attraction vs promotion is his choice, not yours, and, I'll point out to you yet again that everyone has the right to their beleifs - this is a basic, and obvious, human right - so if he prefers promotion, that's his choice, and you should not attack him or put him down for it. Learn, instead, to humble yourself and respect people's basic human rights. Another point - you're being hypocritial yet again by putting him down for discussing religion on an airplane channel....while you yourself do the exact same thing. His message is not in any way 'prideful', I kindly suggest to you that you think about the meaning of that work, perhaps look it up in a dictionary, and then come back and re-read his post, perhaps then you will understand that it is not prideful. As for it being 'unwarrented', that is not your choice to make. That is his choice to make. He feels it is warrented, and that is what counts here, because what he posts is his choice, not yours. Again, kindly go and learn about the basics of human rights, because if you do that, perhaps you will learn and grow as a person, and that will enable you to understand that you do not get to decide, for others, what is warrented for them. Learn to be humble, instead of letting your ego lead you to believe that you know better than a person what is warrented for them.

I don’t know anything about airplanes except binging this channel and I understood it all perfectly!

​@kazikian And this is what makes this channel so awesome. It delights aviation enthusiasts on every level of experience.

As a Ph.D of Aerospace, I didn't. Stability was not explained correctly, which is very typical for pilots. But correct explanation of stability necessarily involves the concept of derivatives, i.e. the _rates_ of change of forces/moments. At which point most viewers will give up...

Yes, it put me to sleep super fast, as planned last night. Probably why the two died due to boring information nightmares. What percentage would you say are only in it for the $$$ cash? 40% I would say. Book worms, they remember every word on a book, but can't contemplate how to put together a Lego Star Wars spaceship, without a saw and some duct tape!!! 😮 Zero reasons a plane should fail. Look at the sky scapers, how ma y have fallen lately? Not as many as planes and automobiles hit each other or totaling themselves. Having an Auto worker strike should frighten Americans to death. Because they hire people with out care of safety. 😮 Life of my dad a former engineer and my grandfather. They never got rich, paid well, not complained or had a Union. They did their jobs as if they were working on a family home. Concerning life, the dignity of life through safety 1st and quality materials only that saves lives. Money they spent put of pocket to help their customers be safer was termsd pride in America once, not too long ago. Today pride is how fat your banks are and cool cars. 😂 Pilots need to have zero automatic anything in their first 5k hours or 8k. Just plain as day this pilot stalled the aircraft twice or 3 times. I know of some 10-year-olds who knew that was not smart. And during an Emrrgency. I don't think the pilot was professional. He probably lied about his hours of flight before being hired. Well it fly itself his parents taught him!

​​@@zeus6828I somehow knew that "moment" was a term in physics, e.g. "magnetic moment", but could not for the life of me remember what it was beyond "something with forces". I haven't taken any physics other than in high school, haha. I can only surmise that sometime during my endless hours of internet it had been a thing. What you described is a wholly accurate, stepwise account of my thinking. I did *want* to understand it, so I googled it. I then started recursing back through those concepts, eventually giving up because it was too much to do while the video continued to play. I could have pressed "pause", but felt compelled to continue the video. Somewhat ironically, this parallels a common "human factors" problem that many of these videos address. I mused to myself, "Well, he really must have that doctorate!" Because having such a fine-grained understanding of "known unknowns" vis a vis someone else's reasoning is not something that one develops overnight.

Glad it helped! That’s what I’m trying to do!

Me too! Thanks to Mentour Pilot!

Same here!! I only have so many flight hours towards a PPL and it finally clicked what trim really handles.

Hah, same here. If you want to learn something about flight physics, just watch a bunch of Mentour Pilot videos. Eventually you’ll find one where he’ll teach you exactly what you want to know.

Fact: China Cargo Airlines is actually a subsidiary to China Eastern. EVA Air Cargo and Singapore Airlines Cargo also hold some minority shares in the company. Not to be confused with China Airlines Cargo (owned by China Airlines).

I have an unopened deck of playing cards from this aircraft given to me by the rep after I walked through it with him on it's way to Long Beach, stopped to get the food off.

I would add that the reason the rear stabilizer pushes down instead of helping to lift the plane , is so that the default is always for the plane to want to nose down, which is the more stable position. Nose up = stall = crash. When you build a home made aircraft this is one of the main checks in the air worthiness certification.

make sure you keep a good attitude

Awesome! Best of luck with your training and fly safe!

Glad you enjoyed it! 💕💕

When he started talking about inadvertent slat extensions I immediately thought of Airframe. It was released in 1996, so I think we know where he got his inspiration.

ready the book fifteen years ago, interesting that there was a real story...

A very entertaining book but the way he pictured the sole designer of the aircraft as one grumpy old man sitting in a corner of a hangar instead of the more realistic team of hundreds of engineers working hand in hand was truly " romantic" LOL

Airframe was very enlightening reading giving a complete insight of such a complex machine. Thanks to Michael Chrishton and also thanks to Mentour for explaining it in details.

I understand that some people prefer these types of stories being told with what you view as 'extra drama', but, at the same time, I understand that these are, in fact, extremely dramatic situations, so if a person prefers to portray them as the dramatic events that they are, that is okay, too. It's not right-vs-wrong, it's simply a matter of preference.

@Julia-nl3gq I didn't say it wasn't okay, just that I wish more were formatted like this. I have watched hour.long flight documentaries, where the same phrases are repeated over and over again with more intense music. They also don't provide the same alternative theories or possibilities in the technical way that he does. Yes, I prefer it this way.

and you never mentioned the "tarmac" once

I wonder how Petter finds time to do all the things he does. I miss his pets though.

Mentour sprinkles just the right amount of drama in, with music and animations. But all those media documentaries just have no idea about the actual technicalities behind this. That's the refreshing part here - we really learn in-depth what it's about, instead of the mostly shallow descriptions and 95% dramatizing of media documentaries.

I hope your flight was successful and you get to read mine.. I'm flying this weekend... just assuming European flights are pretty safe these days 😂

Kerbal Space Program was the first thing I thought of when Petter started explaining the relationship between Center of Lift and Center of Gravity!

@@Jimorian Cue violent oscillations after slightly grazing the stick...

But those planes are just different. Jebediah doesn’t care about these forces. 6 Gs of positive force? Jebediah is fine. 8 G negative? Jebediah is confident and smiling as always.

​​​@@hamiltonian4698how can you be proud of someone you don't know? Admiration maybe. Proud 'feeling deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of one's own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated. "a proud grandma of three boys"

@@Truth1561 They were trying to offer encouragement, and were offering a compliment. Don't be such an as*hole.

Congratulations on your training. You’re going to love flying. But you will always be in training. The learning never ends. Enjoy.

Ability to master certain academic skills are essential, but I still think the public is best served by a certain personality profile. Being very calm in crisis helps a whole lot. And not too touchy when you run into air traffic controllers who are abrasive. That means a bit more patience than average.

And there were no more or less events as a result of the change. The change was an appeasement to China and nothing else. I was involved in the change.

Interesting. Always neat hearing how the aviation industry tweaks things in order to improve safety.

@@rashkavar Indeed.

Was it this plane that had to step climb? I am trying to remember what plane it was in the 80's that freaked me out climbing out of YYZ over Lake Ontario.

@@AmazonAllie73 All large transport airplanes ("heavies") use step climbs on long routes. They initially cruise at one altitude and then increase the cruising altitude in "steps" over time as fuel is burned off and the aircraft becomes lighter and can climb higher. The weight difference between takeoff and landing can be hundreds of thousands of pounds in large aircraft flying long distances, and as a result, the optimal cruising altitude significantly increases as the flight progresses and that fuel weight is reduced. A fully fueled 747 might start with an initial cruising altitude of 32,000 feet and ultimately step climb up to 39,000 feet (or higher) over the course of a 10+ hour flight.

Indeed he did

The conclusion from the novel, the pilot let his son drove the plane. His son wasn't a pilot and he didn't know that when the plane was porpoising, he should have just let go the plane control.

@@nadines1618 I believe the plot of the novel was an amalgamation of CE583 and another one where a flight crew allowed a family member into the cockpit.

@@h8GW A little bit of Aeroflot 593 for that element, but yes, virtually all of Airframe came from this flight. Things like that list of slats-related incidents are even used almost verbatim in the book.

@@nadines1618 In the novel the son was a pilot for that airline but was not certified to fly that model of aircraft.

Same, just a boopp down 50ft

I was once on a high turbulance flight. It was quite enjoyable!

As on that flight, sitting behind you. I thought there was a funny smell.

I've felt that exact feeling. Like pitch and speed did not change at all, it's like the plane hit a hole in the air and had loads less lift for a split second. I'll bet it's an air pressure / lift thing, but could be downward force from wind I suppose. It was quite unsettling!

I've hit turbulence near Frankfurt too.A pretty bouncy ride, probably more so than hitting the edge of a hurricane near Florida.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I raised these points with the company prior to agreeing to the sponsorship and they assured me that the points raised had been sorted. I then tried the service out myself and found it to be well structured and helpful. I be er promote a service on my channels that I haven’t used myself and found helpful.

@@MentourPilot Thank you for hearing us, either way. I don’t know that BH has done enough to earn back the damaged trust of patients, but I know how hard it is to earn a living for yourself, and I appreciate your extending the effort!

@@The_ZeroLine Clever, but my concerns extend beyond the atrocious mistakes BH has made, to the detriment of their customers’ health, and into the political trashfire of American politics where the inexcusable failure to guarantee access to basic healthcare to its citizens has created an environment where scam artists and questionable intentions have a head start since so few people have access to local healthcare professionals, and where “gig economy” bullshit has not been meaningfully regulated. This is obviously well beyond the scope of this channel, and I wouldn’t expect anyone here to stake out such strong positions one way or another. I don’t believe that the market of demand for a service like BH should exist in a just world, but I’m also incredibly idealistic.

Sorry to hear that!

YES!

Fantastic book 👍

Looking at the synopsis it seems like the plot is almost exactly what happened with this case. It's surprising he was able to get a novel about such a niche topic published, honestly. It's very interesting for a 30 minute video but I don't know how interesting it would be for the average person to read a whole novel about it!

Its based on two different incidents. The book is incredible. Gripping from start to end.

@@connor3284, the initiating event is really just the introduction to the deeper story about the decline of US airliner production...

every plane design is a "compromise" hence all planes have "issues".... is closer to what he said: compromise = aerodynamic solutions issues = aerodynamic characteristics all issues are potential problems... but yes Scotty is likely right... i liked that Trek moment too

Thank you so much for your support!

That book is indeed based on this incident

Yes, it had a quite unique landing technique if I’m not mistaken 😊

Cool did you have any hours on the DC10 ? Are there a lot of flight differences between the two versions ?

@@wozja yes, I did... the -30 which also had the middle gear.. frankly if it was light, it too was a bit prone to bouncing, but didn't have the stability issues the 11 had... over all easier to land.. but especially at weights closer to 370-390K..

You are correct, and we fixed a lot of tail strikes because of it.

the MD 11 was a terrible plane I flew virtually every large airliner but that plane was without a doubt. The worst

You are right, it looked like PI control, but odds are there was some derivative action as well. It looks like an interesting (read complicated) control system to design. I know software is relatively cheaper than metal (or fuel or blood), but the multiple design constraints mentioned are familiar - problems, requiring ever better modeling and solutions with smaller allowable difference between setpoint and measured process variable. (a long retired chemical process control engineer). I have noticed that operators tend to err on the side of over-response, like the pilot - we are not very good at estimating overshoot.

@@davidt5770 I think one second longer stall warning helped the situation went worse.

Had many a floght on VC-10... never the same problem.

@@blatherskite9601 He said DC-10, not VC-10.

Sounds like a reasonable safety procedure to descend as quickly as possible to a breathable altitude if there's any suspicion of a depressurization. Absolutely no time to make PA's in that case, no matter how scary it can be for the passengers. And of course divert to nearest reasonable airport. Sounds like the pilots did exactly what they should have done. Not sure about engine power. But I would assume that if you're not at max mach or indicated airspeed limit, and anything sudden happens to the airspeed, toga power is always the correct choice while you figure out what's happening.

Interesting. Odd they would take you all the way back to L.A. instead of Denver or Chicago after 3 hours in.

​@@justcommenting4981 not strange at all, as there aren’t many airports (... or land at all) between Los Angeles and Sydney. Perhaps Papeete, but it might have been further than LAX at that point (and possibly without the company’s mechanics).

Why do you think that was?

A company named McDonnell merged with them.

The 2nd version of the program is.. I'll leave it there. But the original was based on hard enough science underneath that NASA used it for certain parts of their training. And it is rather surprising at how easily changing the center of gravity or thrust by tiny amounts can make a stable design turn into a miracle to keep in the air.

@@plektosgaming is it that bad

Same here, but with another game called SimplePlanes. It took me some time but I eventually understood the delicate balance between the centre of mass and centre of lift. I've built many planes that i have tried to make many planes with low static stability and found they are incredibly difficult to fly without any kind of limiter. I cannot imagine what it must have been for the pilots on board this flight, feeling over-correction after over-correction while battling the G-Forces

@@Blox117it’s in early access, and it is getting a lot better. All they really have to fix now is slight optimization and wobbly joints

It is good that training now covers this, but a little time in most PC flight sims or video games will tell you exactly how a plane behaves at high speeds not too far from its maximum flight ceiling. So it does seem like a bit of an oversight for sure. But it also points to the problem of the companies and manufacturers in always trying to squeeze the maximum range and speed out of designs rather than focusing on stability and reliability. You want the center of gravity (just play around with Kerbal Space Proigram a bit) very much near the center of the wings because it's super easy to get sideways otherwise.

@@plektosgaming I have the impression that McDD tended to prioritise economics over safety rather more than other manufacturers. Cargo door latches for example.

It’s supposedly a great book!

I picked up this book in an airport and read it for the first time during a long haul flight across the atlantic. I didn't do it on purpose but It was quite eerie having the sound of the plane going on while the story unfolded. I like reading paperbacks on longhaul flights...📖✈ and each bit of turbulence an any flight now takes me back to that bit of the story.

It’s an excellent book and highly recommended!!

@@MentourPilot It is really good. I listen to it on Audible from time to time. One of my favorites.

Awesome! Best of luck!

Best of Luck to you! Be proud that you are following your passion!

Were you bumped up because of the G-forces?

"bumped up" as in "upgraded" to first class

That ground speed reading reflected the effect of wind on your craft, and it sounds like you were flying with the jet stream. Rest assured that is different than mach, since mach is the measure of your speed in a medium v. the speed of sound in that medium...and you weren't traveling thru the dirt. Luckily.

Fantastic! That’s what we are trying to do!

I heartily agree!

I guess over the last year or so he’s done a good job of pounding flight physics into my head and making it stick because not only was I familiar with most of it, but at the “your head might be spinning” segment I vaguely thought. “No, I’m following what you’re saying just fine.” I have used other sources but most of the basics started here with Mentour Pilot.
