BARELY Believable! The Shocking Truth About Aerosucre Flight 157

-----------------------------------------------------
Like in a nightmare, so many things went wrong on Aerosucre Flight 157. But Why? And why is it that despite having to follow very similar standards, some airlines seem to get themselves into trouble more often than others?

In today's video, we review how a flight involving a Boeing 727-JO operated by Aerosucre went so badly wrong, it can be held up as a perfect example of why the aviation industry's many regulations are so important to follow.

ah yes aerosucre. he could do a 3 hour special on them.

You know an airline is problematic if they've never flown a passenger flight but have at least been responsible for the death of 20 passengers.

[jimmyrh]

Given their history of skimming the ground on takeoff, they should have had a "hit tree on takeoff" checklist with memory items :/

[TheCraftedMine]

Typical Aerosucre operations always involve a minimum of a full-length runway takeoff, a fence strike, and an engine flameout.

[mycosys]

In engineering we call this sort of thing 'tolerance stacking' when all the margins you allow yourself add up in one direction to an unexpected dimension.

As a Colombian, Aerosucre flights are immediately recognisable by their insanely loud overworked engines

Pedro Duarte was the Flight Engineer, he flew for Avianca around 20 and Aces, he was a flight simulator instructor for flight engineers at some point. I flew with him when I was a 727 f/o for one of those airlines. Nice guy and very knowledgeable. Aerosucre’s owner has allegedly bribed Colombian Civil Aviation authorities for decades and used also powerful political connections to allow his airline go unscathed. this is widely known in the Colombian aviation community.

Anyone on aviation youtube has seen a infamous Aerosucre takeoff clip that barely clears the perimeter fence.. and this is how it inevitably ends. Safety rules are written in blood

[Simple_But_Expensive]

During safety training at my company it was emphasized several times that one of the key phrases to look for is “I’ve done it that way a thousand times”. This is a major flag that you are letting safety standards slip.

It was identified by a group of ex-firefighters in Texas that had formed their own safety training company. They had gone through 30 years of accident investigations.

When they focused on survivor interviews, they ran across this phrase over and over. In some cases, the survivors stated that their trainer had told them the safe way to do something, but then told them they could save time or effort by doing it in an unsafe manner and that they had “done it that way a thousand times”.

In the case of this airline, it is obvious that this was a common phrase. If you ever hear someone use that phrase or think it to yourself, it is time to stop and reassess your behavior.

Another thing they taught us is that humans are very bad at risk assessment. There is a simple formula and table based on game theory that does this very well though.

If there had been a company officer tasked with risk assessment, this accident might not have ever happened. That is, if they could be troubled to actually perform that risk assessment.

[maurirossi]

Aerosucre is a Colombian cargo carrier with criminal behavior and suicidal crews that can still risk the innocent peoples life thanks to the mediocrity or corruption of the government authorities. As simple as that. If they continue flying the possibilities of a tragedy taking of over a city is huge.

[C.Fecteau-AU-MJ]

The "3 Minutes of Aviation" guy and Lucaas been paying their rent for years thanks to Aerosucre 😂

They always deliver... Material for YouTube

Kennedy Steve ATC: "That airbus 380 was smart enough to fly itself in here but the crew cant figure out how to pull it into the ramp"

[stephengrimmer]

So sad. There are comments about "well it's Aerosucre" but I was with an airline with an L100-30, L188, DC8 and B727 fleet in the '80s and early '90s in Africa. We lost several aircraft, mostly to hostile actors or mechanical failure, and our crews saved a bunch more. It's an entitely different aviation world. I remember flying jumpseat into an airport at night with no ATC radar in a thunderstorm and the runway was in sight only at 300' and 1/2 a mile (NO ALTERNATES) and our 65+yo captain with 18, 000 hours kissed the threshold like a baby.

[lostyt]

They still do this btw. Losing planes is just built into their economic model.

[JRadventures]

I can't believe it took this long for an Aerosucre flight to be featured on this channel. They basically have content weekly of dangerous flights and malpractice of piloting!

[WinterNevada]

About time I see the Aviation YouTuber GOAT cover this madhouse of a cargo carrier. Gonna be a good watch with coffee.

[davidwebb]

Aerosucre is the defacto drug mule of the skies. 😂😂😂

[samuelstroh]

As a COLOMBIAN, we DO NOT claim Aerosucre or "casi Me choco" = "I almost crash

[petermeuller]

You made my day with a new video today 🥳

10:18 early hunch: those charts were not used 😂
