“After flying 117 miles-“ *Halo music intensifies*

If you're parachute fails you have the rest of your life to fix it.

People who make movies need to understand planes don’t suddenly drop out of the sky in the event of an engine failure

[sheldorium]

Unless of course your airplane gets hit by a birdstrike of Canada geese 2 minutes after takeoff causing both engines to fail with your airplane barely 3000 feet over Manhattan on a cold winter day.
But that would of course never happen.

20 minutes? Damn, this proves that you really have that effort in you Aaron, you deserve a million subs

[Roguescienceguy]

There are a couple of things you can do to extend that glide. This reminds me of the Gimli-glider. Awesome story

[viktors]

Unless MCAS detects a stall-warning that is

You should see if you can simulate the glide of Air Transat 236 into the Azores with no engines on an Airbus 330.

ok, now I'm not really scared of planes

[RandomAlaskanKid]

I’ve always wondered this, thanks Aaron!

[PigeonsandCapybaras]

Let’s face it, it’s a 737 max, we all know he took multiple attempts to do this 💀

GLIDE RATIO: 17, 7:1 all calculated

The pilot YouTuber (i forgot his name, the one that debunks TikTok “airplane passenger” hacks) basically said that if one engine failed, it would still fly

[TrueBlueGuy]

The engine: But you didn't have to cut me off

[elliottcallihan]

You should see how fast you can get across Florida with an f-22

[KINGoftheHunters]

"We had to shut off the engines to save fuel."

Ryanair & southwest airlines with 737 max 8 🗿 Ryanair & southwest: we are the best of flying the max 8 🗿

What you may not know is that the descent from cruise altitude is normally made at or near idle power until the airplane needs to level off to meet a crossing altitude restriction or arrival in the terminal area.

[JONESSTI]

Only time you really need to worry is if you're a long way over water. Extremely rough weather or RAT / APU start failure (which you might not know about, as the flight crew may not want to cause distress)
