A Qantas Airways Boeing 747 is on final approach to Bangkok’s Don Mueang International airport in Thailand. The airport is being battered by thunderstorms, and just ahead of the plane, another 747 has aborted its approach at the last minute. The 391 passengers and 19 crew are eager to get down on the ground. On this dark September night, however, as the plane nears the runway, things start to go wrong fast. What follows is not a story about mechanical failure, nor is it even a story about the weather, really. The story of Qantas flight 1 is a human story - a story about how quickly things can go wrong, once a few very human mistakes are made. It’s also a story about how even following the rules can sometimes put lives in danger.

This reminds me of a driving lesson my mom had taught me when I first started driving. There was a yellow light and I accelerated to go, the hesitated and brakes instead. I over shot the light and stopped a bit into the intersection. My mom said that day “you either commit to stopping or commit to going. Otherwise, you’ll fail at either.”
-
My CFI drilled it into my head early on... You decide to go around, you go around regardless of improvements in the situation. I try to apply that to all aspects of my life. Love your channel!
-
The captain and first officer screwed that up royally. Especially the captain trying to take control of an aircraft when he was not in command and not saying he was doing so
-
Three factors: Qantas had ordered pilots to brake to save fuel instead of using reverse thrust, the runway was wet, and the pilot was distracted by his wife in the cockpit. It cost Qantas more to restore the plane than to replace it, but they wanted to retain their record of never having lost an aircraft.
-
Qantas has never actually completely lost a plane and has one of the highest safety ratings of any airline. One of the very few national airlines if not the only one to have never killed anyone. As an Australian do I ever travel on qantas? Hell no, they are super expensive, their service is poor and their food sucks!!
-
Thank you for these concise, clearly explained videos. They provide the key technical data at each crucial decision point for the crew, together with the psychological factors colouring the crew’s decision making processes. Personally, I think this channel is superior to its rivals by condensing the most relevant data in order that the critical points of learning are more easily understood and remembered.
-
The problem with any Green Dot Aviation video on QANTAS is you know they'll all make it alive to the airport, as to this day QANTAS has never had a major aviation accident, not one!!
-
It's only a matter of time before Qantas has a major incident. Alan Joyce has absolutely destroyed the company. He keeps getting multimillion dollar bonuses whilst the staff and contractors at all levels are being underpaid, overworked and silenced when they try to speak up about the issues. The safety standards are dropping, and I can foresee a major accident if things don't change. I can highly recommend the ABC (Australian) 4 Corners report on the state of Qantas, it's pretty alarming 😞

This channel is by far the best aviation channel on YouTube…. That’s hard to say since there are so many, yet the animation shows what the crew sees and does, even the part that shows the wiper switch being activated. Such small details add up in the end, showing in almost real time what they were experiencing and doing just before the situation turns critical. That puts this channel way above many out there. Another amazing video…. Great job. Keep up the great work….
-
Yay! Green Dot! Highlight of my day when you upload. Always such excellence.
-
The damaged aircraft was a total loss however Qantas chose to repair it so they could keep their perfect record of never having lost an aircraft during an accident.
-
What is missed is that the reason for the reverse thrust policy was a company desire to reduce fuel use/cost too.
-
Great work as always Thanks for your hard work it’s very much appreciated
-
After watching many of these videos, I feel like everyone on this flight we're very lucky. Hydroplaning is no joke. I take even driving in the rain very seriously. It's scary watching people recklessly drive or make minor mistakes while the road is wet
-
I find it amusing that all the pilots in your videos have Irish accents! 😉
-
NEVER let a bean-counter tell you how to fly. Well done, thank you.
-
It's interesting to wonder why this first instinct is to know how to stop a plane on a runway. I drive a 110,000 pound truck and that is always on my mind. Constantly. Perhaps drilling this into the minds of pilots might be a good idea.
-
Fantastic presentation as always, very well done. As mentioned in the narration, I was thinking along the same lines, such contrast in CRM with the last vid on flight 32, nice touch.

Whatever program he’s using to make those videos is freaking amazing. Those night shots look so good, almost like real life
