If you want find out more about flying, then you have come to right place !!! With my videos I´ll try to give you a closer look into the world of aviation !!! Send in your question and I´ll do my best to include your answer within upcoming videos !!!
Enjoy, and remember : DO YOUR BEST, FORGET THE REST !!!
Wenn ihr mehr über das Fliegen erfahren möchtet, seid ihr hier genau richtig !!! Mit meinen Videos möchte ich Euch einen besseren Einblick verschaffen in die Welt des Fliegens !!! Schickt mir Eure Fragen und ich werde mein bestmögliches versuchen die Antwort in die folgenden Videos mit einzubinden !!!
I'm partially colour blind. I have issues with telling the difference between some greens and reds. Does that mean I cant train as a pilot? Can I possibly get a private license?
Pilots should have landed immediately and NOT flown around doing checklists. It's when they delay landing when crashes happen, as fires and equipment failures worsen very quickly. Land immediately!
One of the safest airplanes flying. Scary to see it happen, but the airplane is designed to deal with emergencies like this. I'm glad it all turned out good for everyone involved.
I'm just trying to imagine anyone wanting to get off that plane and right back onto another. I mean maybe after a few weeks or months once you calm down. But not same day.
Electromagnetic 'waves' are NOT oscillating photons... sorry Captain Joe but it's a bit more complicated than that! See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation#Derivation_from_electromagnetic_theory
I am a new student pilot (at 55 yrs old) and really appreciate what all of the men and women did throughout the entire group of people involved. Thank you for the explanation and analysis.
I remember that cargolux plane making the emergency landing at Glasgow Prestwick Airport and I actually posted about it on Facebook cause I got the notification from plane finder that flight CV7757 was squaking 7700!
Brilliant job by the pilot. And very nice walk thru. As an aircraft engineer i must point out. The fireextinguser is not dumpt in to the turbine. It goes inside the engine cowlings that in this case wasent there so it was innefective.
Captain Joe. Some years ago I was flying out of Denver in an Airbus. We were told the they lost hydraulic control and were flying the airplane with engines controlling rise and climb, and left and right turns. The ailerons weren't working nor were the flaps. We ended up circling back to Denver in the scariest flight I've ever been on. And with no flaps the landing was extremely fast using up all of the longest runway they had. Maybe you can go back and find that one or one similar and break it down. I will say it was around 2005-2007.
Great explanation Joe! Exactly as I would expect an incident like this to be handled with a competent crew and atc. One very nitpicking point, on the 777 the engines are called Left/Right not No.1/No.2 😜. That’s different to the other types I’ve flown so I just notice these little things
Hi Captain Joe. Your analysis of this event is stellar. Tell me though, if it were you in this situation when would you make a PA announcement to the passengers and what would it be?

Sounds like bad engineering which will in turn cause more wear and tear on the elevators... More service time, more costs associated to keep the planes in the fleet
A few corrections to your commentary: 1) This does NOT appear to be an "uncontained" event. Here, the engine case / containment shroud was not breached. The cowl ring isn't part of that. For a great explanation of this: uzblock.info/post/video/vLKtmKF9lWuinag.html 2) Initial checklist run would have been Eng Severe Damage/Separation which applies with airframe vibration + abnormal eng indications present. *None of this checklist is memory* - engine shutdown is always done via checklist and very tight crew coordination. 3) Turns into the dead engine in the B777 are not a consideration. There's plenty of rudder authority for turns either direction as long as airspeed remains above min maneuvering speed. In this case, the jet was accelerating out of 250 toward climb speed which typically is 300-320 KIAS. 4) The left turn was made due to terrain considerations. And FYI: I have almost 12000 hours in type and have flown this tail number numerous times. The B777 is an absolutely fantastic aircraft. The crew here did a great job - what we're trained for and exactly what we brief on each and every flight.
Two questions: why didn’t the pilot have to dump fuel and how did the airport clear the runways so fast, as they are always full of planes waiting to take off?
