China Eastern 583’s Poor Plane Design Causes Chaos In The Sky

Never would have happened on my watch

I love seat belts even on an 11+ flight.
yes, sitting for 11 hours is hard but you can also go to the toilet.^^
Is it possible to install seat belts on toilets? I would feel safer.

At flight level 330 , the density is exactly ⅓ of the sealevel density, which means that the true airspeed is 1.732 times the indicated on the instrument.

Well it was an American plane, what do you expect.

I’m going to take this opportunity to remind people to always buy a ticket for young children, and to use a car seat on board the aircraft for children under 40 pounds. Your arms will not win against forces like this, crash-tested harnesses and belts will.

Idk—— i took a flight on an L-1011 as a kid. I think those planes felt the same way. I was never so happy to get off a plane. They way that thing shook and rattled on landing was frightening. I was not a fan of any trijet

I don’t understand the speed units. Mach 0.82 should be a little over 1000 kilometers per hour, but 298 knots only gives about 550 kph …

Why is it on the keypad on the MD 11 the N S and W keys have a white square around them while the others don’t?

Mention turbulence in the middle of a flight, you got me a nervous wreck!

It's not turbulance to be scared of, its those passengers not wearing seatbelts. Same in cars, never sit near someone not using seatbelt, no matter is it public or private transport.

I always keep my seatbelt fastened TIGHTLY throughout the entire flight.

Hey,that thumbnail looks like a Boeing factory product

Thanks for this fascinating video. I just wondered how dumping fuel from the horizontal stabilisers (or even using it up during flight) affected handling characteristics of the aircraft, and whether this had any effect on events as they unfolded.

"If he would have (done something)" = agrammatical, conversational mistake, anticipating the following " then (something) would (do)". Careful speakers prefer to say, "I he had (done something), then (something) would" (do). In pedantic terms, in a conditional sentence, the protasis (if clause) employ indicative verbs, whereas the apodosis (then clause) employs subjunctive verbs modified with would or should. Otherwise, your English proves as astonishing as your knowledge of all things avionic.

The captain reporting "turbulence" made my chuckle. I bet the passengers had more colourful words for it.

On 1 hand most of the passengers were saved while the plane went in repair the McDonnell Douglas MD11 a successor of the DC 10 model Petter (now renamed as Peter) except my condolences to the last 2 that died.

Great summary of this terrible event. Your videos are incredibly detailed. Since you are such a detail oriented person, I will share with you that the slat lever design in the MD-11 at the time of this event, was a carry over from the DC-10. This is significant because of a few things. The slat lever of the DC-10 (and original design of the MD-11) a small lever to the right of the much larger flap lever. When the MD-11 was designed in the late 1980s, the state of the art of avionics had progressed from the late 1960s when the DC-10 was designed. The MD-11 incorporated computers that the DC-10 did not have. Basically, a keyboard and screen, called a Multifunction Control & Display Unit (MCDU) was needed to provide the crew with an interface, not unlike your home computer needs a screen and keyboard, which you did touch on in the video. Two MCDUs were located on the center pedestal, one on each side and within easy reach of each crew member. After the MD-11 went into service, a number of pitch upsets were occurring. The first officer's MCDU was placed in a location where, when the first officer placed his hand on the keyboard, his wrist would be resting on the small slat lever. If the first officer bumped the lever in a certain way or his long sleeved shirt cuff caught on the lever, it would dislodge the lever from it's detent and move it forward.

What a shit plane

Interesting that China doesn't even come into the top ten of civil AirlIne Crashes or fatalities. That accolade goes to other than America. Since 1945, 10,505 people have lost their lives due to airplane accidents in the US. It comes in at number one.

Chinese captain he got flying lesson and got license in China. Remeber Chinese will find a way to screw up everything!

Is this instability of the MD 11 resulted in the airlines abandoning of the MD 11 ?

Impressive animation!
BTW that's why I always wear seat belt the whole time during the flight, you just don't know what happens.

Sounds like, worry not about turbulence, but about any aircraft designed by McDonnell-Douglass or companies merged into, and therefore influenced by, them.

Informative and educative as always.
This brings back memories. I remember boarding an MD from the rear. that was so unusual.
or was it a boeing?

What happened to your co pilot and navigator?

When your plane starts to move like a snake, something might be off.

In short: The MD-11 is an airliner that flies as a fighter jet?

So this is what that Key and Peele skit is about.

Why not an audible "Slats Activated" warning ? Or is something like that much more complicated to install than it seems ?

Wasn't the redesign of the slat system on the MD-11 a direct result of the DC-10 disaster where the broken engine mount and subsequent loss of hydraulic pressure caused a slat to RETRACT rather than remain extended?

Many decades in Aircraft Industry..
The MD 10 & MD11 were total Dogs of an Aircraft, rushed thru development & should have been pulled from pax Service in the mid 70s, or just to haul freight.
In early 90s My Dear old Mum was booked on a flight to Ausi, when I found out it was an MD, I pulled her off the flight, causing havoc, I told the ground staff why, and amazingly none of them knew what I was talking about.
Much like people now who fly on B737-8 (Max) having no idea of its fatality record.
But the tickets are cheap

So informative, viewers should receive continuing education credits. As a mechanical engineer, I found this intriguing. Thanks!

Pilot over corrections. Is like a white knuckled driver. As a passenger, your head is constantly getting jerked around. Feels like you're a bobble head doll. Let go of the death grip on the wheel and make smooth steering wheel corrections to minimize over corrections. Be a courteous smooth driver and keep your focus further down the road so you don't need to avoid things so last second. Your passengers and vehicle will thank you.

I may be wrong on this one but the MD 11 has a 2 man crew doesn't it? So what's the story with this flight engineer?

I've seen 2 animations of this flight and in both the plane actually fell uncontrollably, going circles around its own axis.
That looked even more horrifying than this..

I was only nervers when I made my last jump from a mountain with a Hang Glider in Iceland. LOL

Ive only ever felt forces trying to pull me out of my seat once, very briefly, during bad trubulence. It left an impression. Cant imagine how scary this wouldve been for the passengers.

chinese pilots🤣😂

Holy crap, 11 minutes into the video and still no mention of this specific accident. Nothing about it. It's all filler and graphics to get minutes watched. This channel is becoming a minutes watched game, not like it used to be. Lots of fancy filler. Thumbs down.

Poor design and poor training caused a lot more problems that not wearing your seatbelt. Stop selling your therapy crap. No therapy will ever help someone who is afraid to fly. Your best bet is to sit somewhere else so you're not caught up in it.

Most people spend hours in the gym? That makes everything else you say questionable.

Thank you for another excellent video. I do not understand a lot of the technical things you describe, but you paint a clear picture of how the process works. The math and rigorous training involved is staggering.

This is exactly the same propaganda in the 80s about Japanese products and in the 90s about south Korea products and now the Chinese the hypocrisy West can't accept the rise of China ... viva China f*ck the west racist hypocrisy!!!

Can therapy help us to overthrow the illuminati? Can it make the guilty 1% pay for their crimes against humanity and against nature? Can it even make them admit their wrongdoing? Or is it just covering a bullet hole with a bandaid?

Hi handsome, more videos . Great job

I have not, ever, and will not ever fly in a McDonnel Douglas airplane in my life. They seem to crash more often than others. This is a strict rule for me and my family. I will change flights accordingly. Now that their culture has invaded Boeing as well, with the "take-over", Boeing are suffering the same failures and management defects. Boeing can't even get into orbit now... And. don't mention the 737 Max and others that killed lots of people ...

Now that China-bashing has become a frenzied national sport, it's refreshing to see a documentary that is entirely objective and totally w/o any political taint.

When you fly wear your seat belt as much as you can! As a pilot 👩‍✈️ I wear mine startup to shut down! 😮

Another great video. I'm curious, what becomes of pilots where accidents like this occur? Do they carry on working for the airline?
