Three-engine takeoff ends up in disaster at Kansas City Airport - ATI Flight 782

The flames at the end were terrifying. Keep it up!

The fact that an outboard engine was the inop engine made this 3 engine takeoff challenging at best. There is absolutely NO WAY line pilots should've been doing this flight. On top of that, the FO wasn't even fully qualified. This should've never happened. Sometimes a captain has to just refuse a maintenance ferry when he/she deems it unsafe. I know because I've done it. The assistant chief browbeat me and said I've talked to other pilots and they said they'd do it. I said, fine...then one of them can do it because I'm not. Case closed.

I was working for an FBO in the Pacific NW when a Baron owner needed a pilot to take him and his wife to a city about 400 miles south, and fly them home again after their visit. Although it functioned perfectly on the outbound leg, when it came time for the return trip, one engine absolutely would not start. The owner pointed out that we were about 400 lbs underweight, it was a cool evening, and well below the airplanes single engine service ceiling, so he kept insisting that we take off on ONE ENGINE! Obviously, by the fact that I'm writing this today, I refused, and after several rather heated calls with my chief pilot, he backed me up on it.

Wow this was great! That first take off roll perspective from the rear was amazingly real. I loved it.

Captain and FO should have verified those computed speeds since this was a very unusual and critical night operation! First abort would have raised red flags with me. Too many variables not explained after first abort. I would have gone back to the hotel.

I find it hard to believe that an empty DC-8 would have any difficulty on two engines, but then I’ve never flown one. The numbers don’t add up.

If the depiction is correct with the difficulty of lifting off the pilot flying should have leveled off ASAP and stayed in ground effect until the gear was up and the aircraft handled correctly. The aircraft lifted off early due to being in ground effect.

MPC Flights: posts a new video. The situation: becomes critical. 😅😅😅😅

It didn't contribute to the crash but an uncertified FO without a training pilot to supervise him was also a problem...

Would be interesting to get a description of the corrected 3-engine procedure.

I like how you end the videos with the aircraft flying majestically as if nothing happened

Flew a DC8 to Viet Nam ,in 1967 Sea board world airways,horrific storm over the Pacific,airplane and crew handled it like nothing!

Dude your videos are awesome great content.

Why wouldn't you taxi back and have the maintenance people see why the new malfunction/problem?

I am not a pilot so this might be a silly question, but could they not have taken off simply using engines 2 and 3, and thus avoid any chance of an asymmetrical power problem?

Should have used longest rwy.less flaps more speed before rotatation. Shallow climb.gear up quicker

Keep up the awesome work

Hi there everyone what pity to hear what happened to plane . Just a quick note this kind of flight is called ⛴️ flight which consists of transport or take the aircraft from one place to another like in this case to be repaired but the same happens when an aircraft is to be sold. By general rule, it doesn't carry payload

This guy just keeps upping his game. Superb recreations of crashes and incidents that aren’t covered so much. He should have a million subscribers on that latter fact alone. Some of us grow weary of seeing the same crashes over and over. And I’d bet there are a million of us. Word is getting around.

All to save the money required to repair/replace the engine in place instead of at home base. Really wonder who made the call on this. Hard to believe they even considered it with one of the outboard engines out.  One of the nasty secrets of aviation is that it's often the 'Chief Pilot' who makes these calls, and the reason many of these guys seek the position of Chief Pilot is because they're afraid to fly but hope their title will convince people that they actually have 'the right stuff'. These are the guys who get people killed.
