. A special feature on the channel where we take a look at certain

scenes

from certain

movies

usually related to aviation and talk about how it would have worked in real life, so trigger a warning if you think about movies or documentaries, this is probably not the channel for You, this is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I'll point out some things that are realistic and things that aren't. In today's episode, we'll take a look at the

2012

film called Flight About. an

airline

captain who saves a plane that has a mechanical problem much like Alaska Airlines Flight 261 that had an elevator screw malfunction, unfortunately in real life, although that plane crashed and all the souls on board perished, but in this movie Denzel Washington plays the captain and basically saves the plane, but then there's an investigation, so we'll look at a couple

scenes

from the movie and talk about how it worked in real life and what it was like.

I know I do a lot. about combat stuff, but I'm an

airline

pilot

. I have been flying the 737-800 and the max since 2016, so I have been doing this for a while, in addition to my booked job on the t-38 air force reserve line. We are seeing three of the

flight

scenes. In this one, they are now meeting each other for the first time. The captain and the first officer on this short

flight

that we have been together for a long time. I think so, sir. He is sure. Yes. Kevin, that's pretty realistic. I work for a fairly large airline and I don't think I've flown with the same captain more than once, it just happens that the first officer doesn't do pre-flight walk-around duties, all this prepares everything and then the captain does his thing and comes in and that's it.

It may be the first time you've met, so this is a realistic conversation. I know that before this he had smuggled some alcohol into his orange juice and had probably drank alcohol and You know, that's one of the things that hurts me a little about this. You know, a good Buddha would probably have smelled the alcohol on his breath and left. Yes, we will not fly today. It's just a very serious thing and the first one. officer, it's a trained position, these are experienced

pilot

s, you know it's the low cost airline, which I think this is what it's supposed to be or at traditional or major airline level, they have a lot of experience, they're not trainees.

He's probably had regional or prior military or charter experience or something, they have a lot of hours so they treat this guy like he's an apprentice here. Nice to meet you, oxygen checks, I don't think so, yes, you check the oxygen on every flight. I don't normally take it out and check it out and stuff, but I usually don't take a drag on it, that's true. 100% oxygen will make you feel better if you're hungover or not feeling well or something. So, you know, the effects of 100% oxygen are true. However, would you offer it to your Buddha?

I mean, that would probably be a warning sign, because the FO and the captain have it on their respective sides and you already know it. Point I was at as a man, you're about to hear it. I'm not in a dangerous timeout. I'm not flying with this guy, so it's probably a little strange for a captain to offer a dose of oxygen like it's some kind of peace tube. or something like that, but people face each other here, yeah, so they just throw themselves to the side. I don't know about this plane, but it actually lays down quickly.

There's a box, so to speak, that's where it goes, so there you are. I'll just throw it to the side and that's the biggest one in Spain with the oxygen, you put it back in the container there you have it, that's a lot of flying and that's a realistic conversation thank you, thank you, thank you, we're ready. Are you realistic, you know that normally it's the gate agent that comes up and says, "We have 169 souls on board" and you know that they are ready to close, but the flight attendant can tell them that: they can close the door and at this point doors of the cabin closed, you probably won't see the flight attendant again until you know if you have to take a break to go to the bathroom or eat or something, so let's take a look at the next clip, this clip is the takeoff and we're More or at least halfway through takeoff here and the FO appears to be the monitoring pilot, so the way it works in the airlines, you have a pilot flying and a pilot monitoring the pilot who flies, he just flies just as the name suggests, so he is doing everything. the job in the controls and the pilot monitoring is to talk on the radio picking up the equipment until they put the autopilot in the pilot monitoring is doing all the control panel things so spending the altitudes on the heading and things like that and the captain just concentrates on flying and then once he puts the autopilot on he can worry about, you know, putting things in the FMS and turning knobs and things like that, so he goes at 80 knots cross check and that's actually a call so it's a challenge in response, I almost guess you can call it that, the pilot monitoring would go to 80 knots or 80 depending on the airline, you know the standardization and then the other pilot would go check to make sure that your side also say that's a good way to check. the different sources of rainy and humid air, he's chattering, this looks a lot like the cockpit of a 737, yeah, so that's a realistic positive rate, so you have a positive climb rate and the pilot flying calls for the Turn, realistic radio calls, so it says "no".

I don't want autopilot. I'm flying today and normally that's not even a discussion. He simply decides if he wants to go on autopilot. He raises his hand and hits him, and if he doesn't do it, he doesn't do it, so the FOS face in this is just. I mean, I know they did it for theater and again, everything I'm saying here is just a movie, so it's not hate or anything, it's just a movie, but you know he wouldn't be okay I guess. you're flying, you know, okay, no problem, but he wouldn't be the one to put the autopilot on at least on my airline.

I don't know what airline he is doing in my fleet, it may be different between other fleets, this is just the 737 experience I would say. Seville definitely yes severe turbulence there are actually charts for turbulence levels and severe turbulence is no joke you don't have the ability to control the plane so I don't know this is severe turbulence and I don't know if the captain would be the right one. Again, the pilot's monitoring job is to talk on the radio, although sometimes the captains will know to intervene just to give them something if they don't know, they want to say "hey, tell them this" which is fine, very valid, but yes , I'm probably not harsh on this.

Period and again, they really wouldn't do it if it's that bad and they're in the thunderstorms, they usually close the exit corridor so they don't fly you to this in the first place, they wouldn't do it if they could change the airport either. so take off on a different runway and do a different sortie to get out of this weather or do something else because you really wouldn't consciously fly into these things and if you were most captains you would say yeah we're not going to take off into this just for safety because the biggest threat here is wind shear and we train for this and simulators all the time, you know we are severe downdraft microbursts like that, where you know it's very dangerous and you can end up losing altitude, elevation, etc., very quickly. food service today and there's not always food service on every flight, it just depends on how long the leg is, how far, how far you go, things like that, I mean, not necessarily if it's bumpy, yeah, it does.

I was looking because it looks like this guy is definitely going to be on my do not match list. I won't be flying this guy again, so it seems like a route chart you wouldn't normally fly, although this was in

2012

, I don't know what. They were doing it back then, but usually you just have your iPad up, there's no reason to have the Unruh statute, but this is cool, just check this out. I really think this was the cockpit of the 737 because it looks identical to the G that I've flown, so what you have here is you know you have your two airspeeds, your ground speed, your direction and wind speed, so which are 17 knots, they're flying south, they even put the weather here and then I have all these little airports and stuff, so they did a really good job with attention to detail on this and I know this is going to be a factor here in one second, this saying, but to get this it looks like it says T discard, probably not a good one but I think this is, I mean, if this isn't a 737, then the mad dog they're doing this with looks identical , so this one is interesting, red is bad, obviously, so this is all connective weather, stuff like that.

I go to RL and they have the skins up that you normally wouldn't have, but this will become a factor later when they'll say, I'll remember to point this out, but they say, "Hey, we lost our hydraulics." I have a meter here, this will tell you if you lost the hydraulics, but they're going up and he wants to shoot the gap, which yeah, it's not a great idea, but you know, I mean, you got it, it really doesn't. I guess I don't have the option to go around it, since you'd normally want to know 20 miles on either side of a storm before you try to do it like minus mu, this one right above them, right, 30 degrees. the party animal 77 needs to be 30 degrees, the right weather for the weather, yeah they make this a much bigger thing than the F oka or the Platte flying usually is, hey I need to go, come on, come on, let's go surround it and then. get fo go hey let's focus whatever Southjet, whoever these guys are, two to seven requests, divert correctly for weather and they go, hey, divert correctly for weather, let me know when you're back on course, no big deal , generally ATC are very good, especially at low altitude and even at high altitude, they are very good at pinpointing areas of moderate to extreme precipitation.

What other planes have done. If you need to detour just let us know and sometimes we even vector all year round. It really wouldn't be a big deal and the captain wouldn't have to tell him because of the weather. I mean, obviously, it's because of the weather. Everyone knows it's because of the weather. Yeah. I mean, that's what they would say, although I mean, you know, bro. It really makes the Buddha look like a fool. Oh Lord, this first part is blatantly lying to the guy that we are going to leave in a matter of thousand for all the zero protein gainer.

I'm in similarity, damn, we have to speed up. Do this buddy, no no, so most airplanes have a maximum turbulence penetration speed, it's the fastest you want to go, especially around the barber pole and the red tape, there you don't want to speed the airplane up too much. and in turbulence and if you want. slow down, which again stops the structural components of the aircraft and maintain and, in fact, for the people behind you, slow down, allowing you to climb faster and in a turn you would rise above more quick, it wouldn't want to level out and drill this, that's not the right answer, you want to get out of it because usually higher is better with things like this because the thunderstorms you know obviously you can't top one with peaks of fifty thousand feet, but if you can get over some of the choppy air it's usually better, so I don't think you really want to level out here and accelerate, especially not around the operating limits because any little pocket of turbulence can put you just over your structural limits. off the plane and now you have a problem because you're in the clacker and you know it's no good Jr. this is a great departure from the captain this is Southjet at seven we are experiencing rough air sit down we are in line now and now he wants to go up the line and it's hitting the accelerators now, you wouldn't really hear it in the cabin.

I mean, it doesn't make a big noise change, especially in this place where the engines are. in the back, ah, clear air, there's the graph, these are flying around. I don't know if people will be applauding, but these are the same people who are probably applauding. Good landing, why are you clapping? Stop clapping, okay, let's watch. the next one and this is the scene of the accident so the captain was asleep I guess because of the vodka she drank the flight attendants don't usually hang out in the cabin so that's what she said why aren't you all tied up here ?

She's talking, apply two coats. those down Oh power backups good idea this is Southjet two to seven we've lost our hydraulics and we feel like our son controls why he's in such a rush to tell ATC and you don't even know that you I mean ATC can . I'm not going to help you with the hydraulics, they don't know, okay, so you're in a deep dive here and she's just walking back and forth from the cockpit whether she wants to or not, she wouldn't be aware of this and I know It's a movie, I mean. That's how they wrote it, but she wouldn't be.

She probably would have run into the center pedestal and throttles if she had tried to get back into the cockpit this way and he says she lost the hydraulics.Remember what I was talking about before. You have a meter so you know that if you've lost the hydraulics, it's not just okay, according to the controls. I think we lost the hydraulic system. You can check. You can see. He really wants to tell ATC everything you have. brakes to give it all the door comes loose yeah that's what happens when I mean it can't happen when you rev ​​it too much like that getting ready a little before 20,000 feet so I'm not sure about the Mad Dog fictitious in this movie, but real mad dogs and the 737s and I think most of the air buses that go through there don't have fuel tanks and I know that mad dogs don't have fins and also You usually don't have the harnesses shoulder positions at altitude, usually right around the lap belt and then for takeoff and landing, he really wants to tell ATC everything that happens on a v8 navigation, communicate, he wants to communicate with Seifer, okay, rollback Manual, I guess.

He's going to like cable pulleys or something. That photo is like a very nervous Nellie and now Margaret, from behind, with the doors closed, can't go up there. She should have had a jump seat. She would have made it more realistic. I guess it's a waste of fuel. It's approved, we already took care of sorry guys, and we didn't have magic fuel dumps, yeah, she'd be falling down the hallway right now, okay, on the count of three, I want you to pick it up, throw it in the clockwise, push it down, done. three Red Oh, oh man, now she's down, I mean, when I say I want to retract the mullet from the top of the meat here, trim our nose down, okay, what's it all going to be?

To make what traction power she will be invested in the bicycle, the cockpit voice recorder. Which I guess is part of it, look at how slow it rolls, so if you roll that slow at that altitude it just changes your angle of impact, there's not enough altitude to, even if they've completed the turn, go inverted like that and unfortunately this is what Alaska 261 tried, but there just wasn't enough altitude to do it, Eric's 700 feet, so they're going 700 feet throwing the gear up and they would have been a smoking hole by now. I don't think it's a modern airliner, I know. text Johnson did the 707 spin, but I don't think a modern airplane has the nose authority, the elevator authority or the wing, it's a sustained inverted flight like this and especially not the turn speed to do it at the altitude they are at doing, I mean.

They would have just been a smoking hole that just rolled around a bit. It is too slow for a transport category aircraft and certainly will not maintain level or upward flight. It just doesn't have the wing for you. This will not happen. They are maintaining altitude. I don't see that happening with the wing curvature and I don't know why you need to tell them they are inverted. Low oil pressures are realistic due to where the pickups are. However, you'll see here in a second, it causes something else, you know, there's a fire light, so I don't know if they're trying to say that the oil pressure is low because they're saying here in a second that the engines are on fire.

I don't think low or no oil or lack of oil pressure will immediately cause a fire. I mean, maybe over time, but in the time that they've been doing this, I think the engine would keep running and then, when finally, when finally. stops then there may be a hydraulic fire or something but I don't think it will cause a fire that quickly so it goes out because motor number one is reversed so now it has one motor and now the other. The engine and he pulls it, so once he pulled the fire lever, what it does is it turns off the fuel and the hydraulic system, it turns off the engines, so at this point they have no engines and no thrust, yeah, the maximum power will not happen. when you just pull the fire handles, even if you don't shoot the bottles, the models release the agent that puts out the fire, even if you don't, it shuts down the whole engine as soon as you pull that handle, oh.

God, and they definitely didn't have the altitude to taxi, so as soon as they start this, they're going to be stuck in the ground, not a thousand feet on a passenger plane, yeah, the engines have already been shut down, there's no full power, oh well. just a movie right there's no check engine light that's amazing and now the hinges are finally moving back this is terrible it just screams oh and now they're sliding so whatever problem they had is now fixed suddenly because they just slide and don't submerge. towards the ground, so obviously they are not Jack Sparrow and of course there is a church or in the middle of the field of time.

Compression occurs in emergencies. There are no minimums of grace. I don't think there were any minimums set and that sounded a lot like an Airbus and that's the end of it, so it's okay, it's just a movie. I know it's Hollywood. The rest of the movie is about the hearings and Denzel's struggle with alcoholism and all that. There are programs. I think it's called the Hems program. can help you if you have problems with alcohol, obviously aviation takes it very seriously in the military it's 12 hours, hit the accelerator in the civilian world it's eight hours and even in some airlines it's twelve hours, in fact, they have their own policy for that and We are spending pilots there, there have been cases of pilots taking breathalyzers and the legal limit in aviation is quite a bit less than the legal limit for driving than the standard 0.08, so if you struggle with alcohol, it allows you flying after grabbing a couple of bottles from the kitchen, which becomes a factor in the movie no, the FO doesn't talk, probably not, although you know it's possible, maybe he's new, maybe he's on parole, stuff like that but I couldn't watch the whole movie but it has a great opening scene that I can I don't talk about it on YouTube for reasons and it's just touching so I hope you enjoyed this video thanks for watching see you next time.

No, if I were the daughter, don't be an idiot, rule number one.
