This is the story of TUI of flight 1665. On the 11th of september 2021 a boeing 737-800 was on the way from palme de majorca to aberdeen international airport. The plane had 67 people and 6 crew members on board. An hour and a half later the pilots were in contact with aberdeen approach, ATC wanted to route the plane so that they would be making a CAT I approach to runway 34 at aberdeen using the ILS. The ILS or the instrument landing system uses radio beams to guide the plane to the foot of the runway. Cat I ils is decently precise but CAT III ILS is so accurate that with the right pilot who is certified in CAT III approaches the pilot can take the plane all the way in without even sighting the runway. The controllers let the pilots know that they might have to go around because on the ground at aberdeen international a helicopter was about to takeoff on a search and rescue mission and once that helicopter was airborne the helicopter would take priority for obvious reasons thus needing flight 1665 to go around. With the possibility of a go around flight 1665 continued with the approach. As the plane intercepted the localizer or the radio beam that helps the plane align itself laterally with the runway the pilots had already prepped the plane to land, the flaps were out the gear was out and all that was now left to do was to fly the approach all the way down to the runway and land. But at 2600 feet the controller wanted the pilots to go around and turn to 270 degrees, the helicopter now took priotrity. So the pilots pushed the engines to max power and the plane started to pick up altitude and speed. In a few seconds the plane went from 2250 feet to 3000 feet but then something strange started to happen the jet started to descend. Now this was the exact opposite of what should be happening at this point this plane was supposed to be climbing away not descending, it is after all a go around. The plane started to drop faster and faster at one point it reached a descent rate of 3100 feet per minute. At those speeds the plane would impact the ground in less than a minute. Thus the pilots did not have a whole lot of time to react. In the tower the approach controller noticed that the plane was losing speed very quickly he or she contacted the radar controller to warn the controller about the developing situation. Now the radar controller acted as fast as possible and told the pilots about what was happening to their plane. In the cockpit the pilots were already working on recovering the plane and with some grunt they did just that, pulling the plane out of the dive. The jet maxed out at 285 knots at the bottom of the dive. Now just for some context at this point they werent supposed to exceed 285 knots during this phase of flight. But thankfully the jet started climbing away to safety. The pilots and all onboard must have been shaken, its not everyday that a passenger jet just noses down for no apparent reason. As they put the plane into a left hand turn they made sure that all the systems were working as they set the plane for another approach. Whatever had happened on attempt number two should not happen on attempt number two. Who knew if they would be able to recover if that happened again. With the controllers help they set up the landing and flight 1665 landed without much issue on runway 34 at aberdeen international airport much to the relief of the 73 people onboard. Before we continue with the video im a little bit curious, we often talk on this channel about accidents and near accidents, but if you were in a situation like this what would you do ? just something to think about. But Now we need to figure out what happened to flight 1665. How did a plane that was climbing away suddenly nose dive and almost end in disaster. The answer as well see started all the way back in 2020.
