Southwest Airlines Flight 1248 was a scheduled passenger flight from Baltimore, Maryland, to Chicago, Illinois, continuing onto Salt Lake City, Utah, and then to Las Vegas, Nevada. At approximately 19:15, while attempting a landing into Chicago Midway, the airplane slid off the end of runway.
How did this happen and why was this aircraft unable to stop?

As a retired software developer, my first thought upon learning that the landing performance program silently capped the input tailwind component at 5 kt was, "How did _that_ ever make it through review?" I would have designed it so it would still do the calculation with the entered value but display a warning that the value was out of limits.

It didn't actually cap it silently, it highlighted that 8 knots value with a red background as incorrect, and there was also a message at the bottom saying the limit is 5 knots. The pilots just ignored that, and decided to land anyway, even though the tailwind they expected was over 5 knots. Of course, with hindsight, we can think of improvements to that software. Like clearer warnings, and possiblly hiding all the distance calculation results, if the input data is invalid, instead of defaulting to the closest valid input value for those calculations. But these pilots clearly didn't follow their procedures, which didn't allow landing with more than 5 knots of tailwind if any part of the runway had poor braking. Instead, they invented a new procedure, where they apparently took the average of the distance calculations for poor and fair. On top of that, they ignored the red warning for invalid inputs for the poor braking calculations, and just assumed the software would still produce correct results even with illegal inputs. And about calculating correct distances even with the illegal input values, that's not how things work in aviation. The parameter tables to use in such simulations come from the manufacturer (or other technical sources), so as a software developer you can't calculate distances for inputs that are illegal. If you don't have any data to base your calculations on, you can't just guess or invent something, as that's not your field.

@@stephenspackman5573 Indeed, as I mentioned, not making and distance calculations when the wind speed was out of range would have been better. But I doubt this was a decision the actual software developer made. There is very little freedom when implementing aviation software, you have to follow the specifications to the letter. In any case, after this accident the airline modified the software to do just that, they stopped showing the estimated distances when the wind speed was out of range for the conditions. And they also clearly indicated that reverse thrust is required for those estimations to be valid. There were many other problems not just with the application but also the documentation. The reverse thrust assumption in those calculations has been introduced recently, and the documentation was not yet fully updated to reflect that at the time of the accident. Also, the company decided to make calculations based on performance data that was less conservative than Boeing's recommendations. If they used the data coming from Boeing, it would have shown the distance as insufficient for both the fair and poor runway conditions.

I grew up in Chicago, and remember this accident very clearly: the weather was quite bad that day. Landing at Midway can feel a bit scary from a passenger perspective, as you see the wingtip level with somebody's third-story window, the plane bumps down, and the braking/deceleration is noticeably harder than in some other airports. Getting there by car, yeah, the planes seem like they land right on top of you.

@@teamground0229 I wondered that myself. I have two (admittedly uninformed) guesses. First, that the alternate selection process assumed that conditions bad enough to close MDW would also close ORD - not unreasonable except in the case where the deciding factor is runway length, as it would have been here. Second, alternate airports on the flight plan (as opposed to an emergent in-air decision) might have been limited to airports where Southwest had a presence. While they do have some operations out of ORD now, they didn't at the time of this accident, so ORD may not have been an official alternate for that reason. (Note that I'm differentiating between planned alternates and emergency diversions, which would definitely be "any port in a storm" rather than "nearest airport out of which the airline has operations")

Is that FS2020? Been trying to find out what Mentour was using for these for weeks. I hot back into it but all I have is FSX and I've been yearning for Xplane 12 or FS 2020 figuring I'd use the one Mentour has because it looks great and way more functionality... though they do probably buy the aircraft seperately? In FSX stock you barely have control over most knobs, not even the autobrake, sometimes not at all or only through key combinations, which I already have scribbled all over my stick along with many functions I put on keys on the stick to avoid using key bindings in difficult phases of flight. If this is 2020 then that looks like a winner. I hope my rusty old 970 can handle halfway decent graphics settings.

The middle number is more about generation, chronological order of when the first plane flew rather than performance or size. For instance the first big jet airliner by Boeing was the 707, which influenced almost every liner built after. They all look more or less like a 707, in various sizes with newer engines. Then came 727, 737 and 747 eaely 1960s, 757 after that, midsized, between 747 and 737 and then 767 and 777 is huge bigger than some older 747s and 787 is the latest new model, that's not directly related to a previous one. It's decently large but not close to 777 or 747, it's meant to replace 767 and is about a similar size, wide body but not a full sized jumbo jet like 777. L1011, DC10 etc...

Fun fact (on a not-so-fun topic): Midway was for a while the busiest airport in the world, which is how it got the nickname "busiest square mile in the world". Of course when the jets arrived a mile long runway was suddenly too short, so they converted then-Orchard Field into O'Hare International Airport, but by the 1990s Midway had reclaimed a large fraction of the commercial market. EMAS is in place now, and we have plenty of data showing that EMAS prevents exactly this sort of accident, so in general Midway is as safe as O'Hare these days after the EMAS install. (Another fun fact: I've never fully verified this, but I believe that Midway and O'Hare combine to make Chicago the only city in the world to have had *two different* airports claim the title "busiest in the world" at some point in their history.)

I remember as a very young child in the late 50s going to Midway to see relatives off or pick them up at a time when piston engine aircraft were still dominant. The sight and sound of those big radials both fascinated and frightened me, and I always liked the way the tails of the DC-3s would come up first during the takeoff roll, or go down last while landing. The place seemed huge but by today's standards it's a postage stamp. Hard to believe big jets now go in and out there in a small area surrounded by dense development. But O'Hare was once out in the sticks, and it, too, is now surrounded as well. Oh well, guess nothing stays the same.

One of the most harrowing landings I've experienced was at O'hare. I was on a Boeing 727 chartered by the Navy to transport recent boot camp graduates to schools at the Great Lakes training center. The flight attendants had told us that they'd never flown into Chicago but instead flew from Southern cities into the Caribbean. The weather in Chicago was typical for late January with limited visibility, heavy snowfall, and winds out of the north bringing a -56º F wind chill. Upon touching down, the pilot and/or first officer applied reverse thrust, and the plane literally turned sideways, sliding down the runway. Unfortunately, they over-compensated, and the plane simply swapped from one side to the other. The plane came to rest sideways with me looking out my window at the threshold stripes and the end of the runway. I've flown through O'hare many times since then, often in winter, without any incident.

Having flown into Midway many times it is unnerving as you can see the tables and chairs on the back patios of the houses surrounding W and S side of Midway, which has the shortest runways in the county... any weather and its a white knuckle landing.

I always felt umm, not entirely comfortable flying in larger passenger jets but my partner worked in the pilot training department for Air New Zealand many years ago & 1 treat was being invited to have a session in a 737 simulator which was amazing (the takeoff gave me the exact light butterflies feeling I always get) the hardest thing for me being attempting to steer the plane to line up for takeoff but the best experience was being invited to the cockpit (showing the age now, the Boeing being analogue also) and looking out from the pilots perspectives & watching procedures, the pilots explaining as we went gave me enough insight to feel so much more comfortable overall. Less fear or the unknown? Maybe seeing the pilots confidence, procedures & checks.

It was just a cheap entertainment for 6 kids. I never got to fly until i got a job and paid my own fare after graduation. I was about 20 & still in college.

I used to run 737s and if I'm not mistaken the Thrust Reversers (TRs) deploy in about 2 seconds and the engines throttle up in a maximum of 4 seconds.....but in my experience they spool up FAST. way less than 4 seconds. 4 seconds was just the maximum amount of time the manual allows to be within limits. But they go much faster. So in this case, from TR deployment to full reverse thrust..... likely 4 seconds. An eternity at 130 miles per hour. You'd travel 760 feet before you started getting the full benefit of the TRs. Yeah, that'll make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

The lack of input validation with that program on the OPC is HORRIFYING! In Computer Science/Computer Engineering, this practice is engrained pretty much from the very start. Part of testing is entering unexpected/invalid entries, to make sure things can not progress until acceptable values are entered, and that the user is warned. However, the fact that it just defaulted to the highest allowable value is orders of magnitude worse. I know this wasn't the only contributing error, but take note: this is how a software or computer engineer can kill someone through a stupid mistake or poor design decision just as easily as a civil engineer.

I would hazard a guess that this increase is simply correlated to the increase in the number of flights. There is also the fact that modern tools make it easier to detect minimal runway excursions that might not have been registers in the old days. (this was mentioned in another Mentour video) When a plane only edges into the paved runoff area by a few metres, it can look from the tower like no runway excursion has taken place, but nowadays, in modern airports, there are detection mechanisms at the end of the runway itself which will catch the smallest transgression. That being said, runway excursions are still extremely rare, with fewer than 20 incidents/year across the world in the 2009-2013 period (on average 0,57 incidents for 1 million sectors based on 2009-2013 IATA data and this average is skewed by the poor performance of Russian and African operators (respectively 1,45 & 3,98 incidents/million sectors))

I would guess that overconfidence in technology is a major factor. I've seen a trend over the last decades in several areas that people, especially younger, put 100 % trust in anything that comes out of a computer and/or assumes that the computer only accepts valid inputs. Don't get me wrong, computers and technology are wonderful tools that allows us to do things that wouldn't be possible otherwise but a bit of sanity and allowance for external variation must be included. We see one clear example in this video, they enter one figure into the computer and then trusts the output fully (and then some). That the application adopted the wind figure without a major warning is a serious error in the program in my opinion - it should have given an information window like "entered tailwind above permitted value, verify input).

@@sharg0 Just to add to your comment. Likely a mix of using these computers allows us to get near max landing ability but you loose the safety margin of the pilot's decision skills (sounds like before this the old way was the pilots' gut feeling) but now if a PC says it is fine to land they trust the 'hard numbers' instead forgetting that humans & equipment (tire grip, no blow out, ABS allowing max braking when in some cases it can be worst then manually doing it but is very rare, pilots forgetting or doing something late, reversers being slow to open or don't at all due to equipment braking, landing late on the runway). The FAA knows this and requires a built in 15% safety factor into the PC cals but personally feel that 15% in the dry is likely fine but should be 25% in icy/snowy/extreme wet weather and 20% in normal wet conditions. If those pilots didn't have a PC telling them they are fine to land then good chance they would thought it wasn't safe and landed at an alt airport. Also it might be a good idea for pilots to be trained to try and keep an additional safety factor ontop of the PC's report - ie they need at least 500ft of runway left no matter the PC's cal results and should reconsider landing options if they are under that 500ft remaining per the PC cals. Trying to get max performance and using hard numbers is great if we lived in a prefect World, but we don't and just need either higher margins built in those tools or train pilots to make the final call (as if expected of them; but they tend to forget that applies to certain aspects like a landing cal from a PC) & remind them safety if better then risking it. Of course something like this is rare so changing it to affect businesses (cost $$ to keep landing at alt airports for something that might happen in a 1 in 100,000 flights) so you got to play both sides (FAA) because if safety was #1 then we wouldn't fly ever for due that one in a million chances of a crash. Either way; I do put some blame on the cap for using a tool for the first time in extreme conditions (and wasn't required to use it yet) if he wanted to try it [auto brake system aka ABS] out he should of waited for a sunny day, then next on a wet day, then lastly a icy/snow day since he was 'testing it' -- or better yet in a sim if he had sim time coming up -- don't blame him for trusting the PC cal but he should of added his own safety margin ontop of its results - either of those could have avoided it. However, I'm annoying the FFA allowed for basically no run off space at this airport they should of downsized the runway or installed the break-away cement and not approving it with no safety factor. TL;DR if you keep using systems and taking away safety factor/margin from everything then of course crashes happen (no safety margin in the landing PC cal, no safety margin in runway runoff length).

The captain DID try to employ thrust reversers, but the handles got stuck because the engine couldn't be spooled up before the reversers were fully opened. I consider that a design flaw. The same mechanism that blocked the reverser handles could have been used to block the engines from spooling up until the doors were fully opened after which the engines could spool up to the set reverse thrust. Such a mechanism would have allowed the captain to simply set the desired reverse thrust and subsequently focus on the other tasks the landing required such as braking and maintaining direction.

If operating as designed then it would provide helpful feedback to the pilot that reverse thrust is not available yet, and keep the position of each lever matching the state of each engine. If one reverser door suffered a failure and couldn't open, and the other worked normally, we'd want the pilot to notice they have only one handle moving (asymmetrical reverse thrust). You could almost have it both ways with a detent that automatically operates the reverser as soon as the door finishes opening, but it would have to move to a fixed setpoint.

The problem specific to the 737 is that I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a mechanical linkage between the thrust reversers and the “throttle” of the engines. Imagine if there was no stop and one of the doors was malfunctioning. You’d stab open the thrust only to find a severe yaw to one side as one engine attempts to reverse thrust and the other is pushing the plane forward.

Phenomenal! This highlights the true complexity you pilots deal with, all the time. Also, are all of the technical people behind the scenes, that have an input into all of those calculations, and manuals. The vast majority of normal people, can't even drive a car properly. Thank you.

Your videos have taught me that a lot more goes into your standard passenger flight than I ever imagined. Pre-flight briefings, weather reports, 100s of checklists, landing calculations, fuel reserves, load sheets, and alternate airports to name just a few. My flight to Amsterdam Schiphol tomorrow will be be viewed in a very different light.

I grew up near Midway. Because of that I have deliberately never used Midway, even though it would have been cheaper and more convenient than O'Hare. Honestly, I was never relaxed even driving by Midway. It's teeny tiny and totally hemmed in.

My father was a *Flugzeugführer* (pilot) back in 1944 during ww2. He flew a ME bf 110 and was shut down in france 1945, became then a pow in Biloxxi, USA. When returning back to Germany he never worked as a pilot again. But he told me such intensive stories that I was always fascinating in aviation. I m shure that my dad would have loved your channel! Carry on with your good work, please!

I was an Emergency Manager for OEMC-Chicago and surprised by how many incidents occur on a daily basis (smoke/fire, engine issues, fuel issues, etc...)...yes daily. The weather is some of the most unpredictable in the country, with winds in the loop (downtown) area often exceeding 50-70mph. Often enough to where we had emergency action plans to shut down streets and sidewalks because scaffolding and glass could get ripped off of buildings if winds exceeded 70mph. Landing in these conditions must be...."challenging". O'Hare and Chicago Executive are far outside the city center. Midway is smack dab in the middle of Chicago's dense and busy industrial neighborhood of Garfield Ridge/West Lawn. Thankfully events like this are exceedingly rare.

This accident actually lead to the firing of a CPD sergeant who took a photo of herself posing in front of the wreckage. I'm not sure if she was one of the first responders or if she had just shown up later that evening to see the plane for herself, but it was not in good taste to be using the crash of a jet onto a city street as a chance to get a photo op, especially when it ended up killing a child.

Definitely in poor taste. I worked for CPD as well, long after this incident though. We were always told that we are one camera phone away from an indictment. Silly that some people have to be reminded by this. Tough job, but every organization has their 10%.

the 50-70 mph downtown is true, but that's due to the wind tunnel effect of the high buildings. Not just the windspeed, but that it is whipped around by the skyscrapers. Not the case outside the loop. What are the actual conditions at Midway?

Eighteen seconds seems like such a long time to realize the thrust reversers aren't doing anything. I know flying an airplane, particularly a big jet like this, can be pretty complicated and I could understand if it took them 18 seconds to remember to retract the landing gears after initiating a go-around. However, in this case, they really only had two things they needed to worry about once the wheels were on the runway: slowing down and steering. I'm not a pilot and maybe I'm missing something, but they only needed to steer with the rudder, make sure the auto brake was working and brake manually if not, and make sure the thrust reversers kick in within a reasonable amount of time, and there were two pilots to stay on top of it. They expected the runway to be slick so it's not like anything totally unexpected happened. I feel like I have more going on in my car when I'm making a routine stop at an intersection and I have to steer, brake, and downshift. (I don't have to downshift, but I like to do it anyway.) It's never taken me 18 seconds to realize I'm in the wrong gear.

Now imagine you've just moved from an automatic to a manual for the first time since you took your test years and years ago and this is your first drive out. Your going to make screwups as you struggle with making sure your using the clutch correctly. The distraction factor of the autobrake was clearly major factor once they where on the runway.

Around 1975 I was a passenger on a 737 (?) landing at Andrews AFB near DC. The weather was wet and icy. We touched down then immediately pulled back up and away from the runway (and the AF base). We were unaware there was a serious problem until it was announced that we were diverting to BWI, about 50 miles away. We later heard a rumor that the tires had "slipped" when they touched down. I've always wondered how close we were to serious trouble.

As a pilot, how do you reconcile the death of others due one’s own mistakes? Is there a system in place to help pilots with the psychological impact?
@rael5469

"As a pilot, how do you reconcile the death of others due one’s own mistakes?" Robin, in my opinion most aviation incidents are rarely the fault of one individual. In this case the training the pilots received from the airlines was probably partially to blame. As someone else said the ATC system should have reported runway braking conditions as "poor".....the conservative figure. The software program defaulted the tail wind to 5 knots without really flagging that to the pilots. These airliners are complex transportation systems. A LOT goes into a flight from point A to point B. There is literally an army of people behind the scenes and onboard the aircraft to make it happen.

Great analysis Captain. I heard of this accident when it occurred and I saw the pictures of the plane sitting in the highway, but never read up on it (the aviation bug only got me last year) and as usual your video shows a balanced and thoughtful presentation. It also strikes me that sitting back for a minute and using common sense rather than getting stuck in the weeds forms part of threat management. Your thoughts? Thanks for the video! PS. Tell Dom his animations are fantastic :)
