Emergency descend!! Cockpit video

“The Masks dropped and Suddenly it felt like the aircraft was falling out of the sky".
This is what the passengers are feeling but what is actually happening in the COCKPIT when this happens?
How do we handle a rapid depressurisation and an emergency descend from inside the cockpit?
What are the most important things for us to do first and in what order do we need to work?

Fantastic video! To fully appreciate it, *TURN ON THE SUBTITLES* !

I love how you both looked at each other respecfully nodding after "Establish crew communication". Amazing.

The kind of stuff you show and talk about in this channel should be on public TV. So many people are so irrationally afraid of flying and for many of them it's just because they just don't know anything about how planes work, how well trained the pilots and crew are and how serious everyone is about aircraft and passenger safety. You're doing a very necessary job here.

I know this was obviously a simulator, but it's the calm, calculating and professionalism in a real life situation that saves the lives of passengers and crew. A superb demonstration on how things are done when it all goes wrong behind those locked doors

Weather good in Manchester? NOW I know this is a simulation.

[Hondalover]

This is quite interesting. Ordinarily the public would not normally see things like this. Thanks for the insight Mentour Pilot.

I'm amazed at how good you're at explaining things and being in obvoius control as a capatin without being condecending or demeaning etc. If I was a pilot or in training to be one (neither of which I am) you would be the primary example of the captain/leader/instructor I would wish I had.

Through the emergency oxygen mask you sound like Darth Mentour.

[RomeoB]

Peter..you are an OUTSTANDING teacher and trainer. Your airline, and all of your students, are lucky to have you.

[ginggur]

Have come to this after watching the HONEST safety briefing. Brilliant as always. I never tire of your videos.

[eoghanferrie]

First memory item - put on oxygen mask. Second memory item - make sure your hair is still looking good. 😂 1:20

[einars]

"Passenger oxygen is on". THANK You! We are soo happy you remembered this, no delay waiting for the "user manual" to be consulted. ;-)

[rogerdotlee]

These kinds of videos are SO cool. Handling emergencies (or abnormal situations) is a huge part of aviation.


Can I request things like 'gear problems' including indication issues as well as something nice and generic like 'the autopilot has stopped automatically piloting the aircraft for reasons unknown'?

[rogerbarton]

"Take your oxygen mask off, can you smell anything?"
"No"
I bet you'd get a different answer from the cabin crew.

I like the way they have time to say "Please" and "Thank you", that's why it's called civil aviation.

[lisakeller]

I'm not an aviator and I'm truly amazed how much work goes into actually flying these aircraft...how mechanical everything is and how methodical things need to be. Great video!

[philkarn]

Well done! Even though I'm watching a video of a simulation of a fictional situation, I couldn't help but get a slight knot in my stomach. (Also, the Alaska 1282 incident was just a week ago.) So it's reassuring to see that these simulations are so realistic for the crews participating in them.

[tonyclarke]

Fantastic video of the emergency descent procedures. I think that any nervous fliers should see this just to demonstrate how professional and well trained pilots are for dealing with emergenies

[bobbycvsixfour]

Mentour Pilot, WOW, everytime I think you have nothing more to add, LOOK OUT!!! SUPER GREAT RECORDING. Just gets better and better.

[sandrafeliciano]

Great video Petter! Pretty consistent with my rapid depressurization/emergency descent experience, except for (one or two details I noticed before the masks dropped) and the fact that in my case the Captain did a PA announcement to passengers during the emergency descent - so we got to hear the "Darth Vader" voice! ;-) - which was much reassuring to us. I understand that it is not a priority nor even necessary, but as a passenger that had the experience, I can assure you its very welcomed. It surely felt nice to hear him talking calmly to us and alerting - even apologizing! - in advance for any ear discomfort we might feel with the maneuver. He continued to communicate with us after we reached the 10 000ft and after landing while the paramedics were on board, keeping us informed of everything at every step. Kudos to your colleague for that "extra mile"! I should have written to your company to highlight his professionalism and kindness. (Maybe I should still do it, even if 20 months have passed meanwhile).

[ecclestonsangel]

Great video, Petter! You explain these situations in such a calm, noncondescending way, and make the situations easy to understand. I really enjoy watching them and getting an education at the same time.
