Rapidly Losing Pressure | The Incredible Landing Of American Airlines 1572

That was a miracle

Thrilling. I felt I was on the plane as it plowed through the trees and landed.

Whatever the ding noise is. Please don’t use it again. Great channel overall. With my hearing I couldn’t make it past 5 mins.

This highlights the sheer importance of CRM. The god bless you made it and encouragement which would have given his captain full belief and concentration oh yeah that first officer also god bless him he made it n all.

Very professionally narrated. Thank you.

The whole point of being a professional pilot is to use your Knowledge, Skills, and Experience to prevent a situation where extraordinary feats of airmanship become necessary. Of course; when KSE fails the airmanship can be lifesaving. Also: I’m glad we no longer use that QFE thing anymore!

When the engines become wood chippers it is not good.

disliked for the unethical sponsor

Any maddog crew around that might have insight on why you'd turn off the weather radar?

I would hire those pilots any day they are definitely some good pilots

These videos are awesome

I work in AI field. I can say no AI could have recovered from this accident and MDA encroachment. Further, the skills with which ad hoc decision making was applied by the seasoned pilots is exceptional. AI on the plane likely would have assisted the pilots further but no way I ever want less than a pilot and a copilot monitoring in that cockpit. A trained human brain is far superior.

These are the ones I love! Where the pilots save the day and everyone lives!

Accidents like this are what should make everyone scared when you hear talk by the airlines to try and go to 1 pilot cockpits because they want to save money. The systems getting bad information due to failed updates could cause this same problem and there would be fewer eyes to see it

Awesome, well done, pilots, Nice

I wonder why there is not a higher focus on the radio altimeter in situations like these of rapidly changing pressure? The radio altimeter doesn't need tuning and will always show the actual separation from the terrain below.

Thanks Petter, and team. Another amazing video. I learn so much, not only about aircraft, aviation, and procedures, but also about things like weather, and pressures. The Mentour Pilot channel is like the one class in school you liked so much, it didn't even feel like you were learning....just having fun. Thank you guys for that, honestly. That is one of the many reasons that I comeback and re-watch older 'episodes'. I wise man once told me knowledge is power. Thank you for continuing to empower me. Cheers from California.

Feet, knots and inches Hg, Quite error prone ...

Nooo not BetterHelp, you’re better than this :(

Jesus… these guys are proper aviators. Impressive stuff

Better Help is poor quality and expensive!

Thanks to you I might never fly again. The vast amount of knowledge you have strongly suggests to me that the average pilot could not actually have.

This is an exemplary example of skillfully and smoothly explaining complicated concepts and issues the laymen, coupled with solid graphics. Par for the course for your channel, but a truly outstanding piece of production.

I want to be a pilot but the tuition is too expensive.

why didn't the GPWS warning system called out 'terrain, pull up' before they hit the trees, and it only said sink rate?

Love the content.honestly thank you ❤

The MD-8X appears in a lot of these videos. Not perhaps a good advert.

Better Help is Meta Help. No thanks!

@MentourPilot what consequences can happen to the pilot if he makes a mistake like in this movie, but luckily everyone survives?

Im concerned that you have been promoting products that have been proved to be scams

@mentorpilot I could be wrong but I think you forgot to put this episode on your accidents and incidence playlist. It may sound weird, but I put that on when i'm at work and listen to it on shuffle. I have a lot of stress at work and it seems to help hearing these stories. It's very calming and interesting for me.
So when I saw this video pop up and saw that it was a few months old, I couldn't remember it. I'm sure i've seen it because I watch all your videos when they come out and have for quite some time. But I just didn't know it like I know the others, because it's not on your playlist. I went back and looked through, and I did not see it on the playlist. Would you add it please?

I believe this commercial started out comparing the stress of their target audience with the stress the folks on the plane had?

An heroic outcome!

Do we not have a way now for the computer to update pressure based on signals sent from weather stations at its current location?

Not a pilot here, but... the recomendation of the FAA may cause other problems. Leveling off after a dive may give pilots time to do some vital work, while the aircraft is stabilized at an altitude and 'safely' flying in case pilots forget about time or have different emergencies to deal with.
The FO was already slightly behind with workload most apparently overburdened, calling the 1000 late.
Forgetting to check for correct descend for too long due to distractions may end bad - leveling off after fully focusing on descend for only a short duration will give them opportunity to focus their attention on other things afterwards for as long as needed.
I can't imagine multitasking being safer than doing things in sequence with less chance of multiple mandatory items to be done accidently coinciding.

In early 1970 I was working at Bradley. One evening, while picking up a drag chute from a B-52E, which was being flown by a flight test crew for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, I slipped and broke two bones in my lower right leg. It happened on the very runway described in this video. I'm probably the only person ever to break a leg on that runway at Bradley.

l love the stories w/happy endings!!

Honestly, with the amount of bad things that happened and how s**t the situation, it's a miracle they managed to land without exploding or something. Flowers to the captain for landing without crashing and flowers to the first officer for his A+ support.

"Empty the control tower, fire everybody, it's raining!" sounds so much like an Elon Musk idea! ✈ 🚧 🎈 - j q t -

QFE? Thought only gliders use this and only for local flights.

Imagine having windshear just after take off cuz I have on my RC plane what ended up hitting a dog

so did they continue employment with the airline?

These videos are both fascinating and just a bit frightening! I’m really amazed at some of the dramatic stories told with great clarity. Simply top notch presentation and full of relevant information that really helps to understand the situations pilots find themselves thrust into. I got nothing but respect for these guys!

TOO MANY COMMERCIALS. 😮😢
