Support my work on Mentour Pilot ๐๐ป https://www.patreon.com/mentourpilot Today it is exactly 12 years since the "Miracle on the Hudson", US Airways flight 1549 encountered the most famous birdstrike of all time which led to two, catastrophic, engine failures and a successful ditching on the Hudson River outside New York, USA. The incredible work by captain Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffery Skiles as well as the heroic work of their cabin crew and first responders led to the successful outcome. But were there mistakes made along the way? In this video I will be telling the story of flight 1549 based on the final report. I will also give you a pilots perspective on what went on in the cockpit during that winter afternoon in 2009. 00:00 Introduction 00:49 Patreon Homage 01:18 Overview 03:51 Info on Jeff Skiles 05:25 Takeoff 06:25 Birdstrike 08:10 Crew initial handling 11:14 Decision Making 16:30 Cabin Crew 19:35 Ditching imminent 22:47 Ditching 25:28 Conclusion 28:38 Full uninterrupted flight simulation 34:22 End-game Now!
