Departing Toluca, A birdstrike just climbing out of the airport on the Right engine. Full procedure, autopilot off and manual return to the field with a visual landing, one engine. Great skills by the pilots.

Sorry for that brief moment where I drop the camera got a little nervous, but regained confidence as pilots did an amazing job.

    My man has his checklist out in the first few seconds. Hell yah.
  • @YorkvM
    Looks impressive. Especially when you consider that they are piloting the plane with bicycle handlebars.
  • @JayMaverick
    Crazy impressive to watch professionals stay perfectly calm and follow procedure during a life threatening emergency.
  • @albelerberg4733
    Notice how they turned into the good engine, great piloting. Always raise the dead (dead engine side goes up, good engine down for a turn). Great job by the crew.

    Absolutely textbook Crew Resource Management. It must be very tempting for the PIC to want to take on more than just flying the plane, but he lets the FO do his job while he concentrates on executing the return to the field. The confirmations and readbacks are concise and clear, the checklist is completed efficiently, and the result is exactly what should be expected...a well-handled emergency.

    Aviate. Navigate. Communicate. And do everything calmly. Such professionals.
  • A great example of what happens with a bird strike and engine out. Pity there was no view of the damaged engine - very rare to catch a real emergency on video. Good airmanship.
  • @sknokaze
    Well trained and not panicking. Salute from an PPL student.
  • @kujiko88
    Plenty of people in the comments saying various things about the pilots, but it seemed to me like they landed the plane pretty smoothly for a higher speed landing with an engine out. Response to the bird strike was pretty fast, too. Just glad everyone was safe.
  • @renardfranse
    Every pilot shout react the same way. WAY above professional. God Bless you BOTH!
  • @308V8HZ
    Great communication and professionalism by the pilot and first officer !!!
  • @nelson8527
    Awesome flying under pressure like that, calm and cool pilots, good job to both pilots.
  • Nice job! Everyone remained calm to accomplish their job. My compliments.
  • @varig933
    One thing we can admit for sure, they’re very polite pilots 😊

    the designer of that yoke worked for a jet ski manufacturer before Pilots did very good but I felt they had a little panic at some point.. I think they wanted to do a 180 and directly return to the runway but then decided to go in a holding pattern to run the checklists and prepare for the approach. What I liked is that despite the stress they worked together as a team

    Great recovery Captain and great landing . I love hearing the stall horn when I’m landing .
  • @beargrillz613
    the work load they go through while flying is crazy..
  • Huge kudos to the Captain and First Officer! They did what they were trained to do without panic! And made back to the airport safe ! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
