  • There is a maximum take off weight and a maximum landing weight set up by the Aircraft manufacturer. The take off w. is always much higher, as it is considered the aircraft to have consumed about all it's fuel on landing.

    On take off there is no structural damage due to the fact that it's a soft lift and there it goes. On landing there is always some kind of stress to the frame and wings due to the fact that it is a hit on the ground, dampered but a hit anyway.

  • Why to Dump your fuel ?? Give to me Petrol is Very expensive These Days in INDIA.. hehehe..

  • @arvindmusical1965 The plane will be too heacy to land if they don't dump the fuel.

  • @zszs100 It`s actually because if they do crash and there is a fire you don`t want to have thousands of pounds of highly flammable liquid on board

  • @Justinh789 No. Its too heavy to land search it up.

  • aha thats why the ticket prices are rising!!

  • Dang, I should have been following this plane with a bucket...... FREE FUEL :)

  • what did you expect from air france

  • Are we sure that was fuel?

  • so this is what a female 747 looks like when she is squirting

  • Why are they clapping??? I'd be yelling, "Holy shit, holy shit, I'm alive goddammit!!!"

  • Well done for carbon emission tax for airlines starting this year!..

    We can dump more fuel in EU now!..

    Bugger!

  • Comment removed

  • fuel jettison...

  • why is he dumping the fuel?

  • @OanaaEcsphetamine because he would be to heavy to land safely

  • @OanaaEcsphetamine the pilot wants to land light so fuel jettison is necesary to land safely

  • skip to fuel dump button >>> 2:26 no need to thank me...

  • What airport did u land at

  • @Sniperassasin12 the description says "CDG" so that must be Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport

  • @ghettoperson257 CDQ not CDG

  • @deltaflyer1997 no its CDG look it up.

  • @ghettoperson257 In the description it says CDQ

  • @deltaflyer1997 well then this guy either spelled it wrong or doesnt know the correct code cause it is CDG

  • french pilots seem to stutter alot more than americans LOL eeerrrr errrrrr

  • people down there is not "washed" with fuel. The thing is that the international aviation organisation (OACI) states that the airplane shall not perfomrn the damping of fuel if he's flying below 5000' ft above ground level. We consider that this magin is well enough to prevent the fuel "rain". As the fuel drops it becomes vapour.

  • It has always puzzled me: when planes dump fuel for precautions, are the people below all 'oiled up' as like they had just had a 'shower' - i guess if i am far off it, then at least i do have sense of humor when it comes to these things - but, really, i am curious as to how it works..

  • Could have been a tad more horrific!

  • why do the Europeans always clap once the plane has landed, us British never bother!

  • @123MarkMarky Depends if it was a smooth landing, they will clap.

  • @123MarkMarky to give the pilot a well deserved clap cause he landed safly

  • @123MarkMarky You know Britain is also in Europe? so that means you're European too...

  • @123MarkMarky since when are the britons not europeans?!

  • @rietveen26 . thats a good question. but the answer is: they are 'NOT' europeans. because, in britton, they are known as 'brittish' and or their area is known as 'the UK' aka: united kingdom. It has no affiliation with Europe, especially the geography of where 'uk' is located. Just like, 'ukraine' is 'not' considered 'europe' either, yet, ukraine is ever so closer to europe then uk is, yet, we all know, ukraine, may become part of the eu in futur. so, u had a good question, theres uranswer

  • man thats allot of fuel 

  • ...two words...one english one french...holy merde.

  • Whether it's due to engine failure, pressurization problem, or ANY reason at all, iif a widebody aircraft has to land immediately after takeoff, chances are it's heavy enough the crew's gonna have to dump fuel to get the weight down. In this case, looks like they shut down #1 engine because it was surging, and chose to return to the airport for safety reasons. Kinda like you probably wouldn't wanna chance taking a twin engine boat out into the ocean if one of them was dead.

  • While dumping fuel before landing certainly reduces the amount available if I fire were to break out, the reason for doing it is to get the weight of the aircraft down to a level that can be safely taken by the structure of the aircraft and landing gear. Something's got to go... can't throw pax out, can't throw luggage/mail/cargo out, and as unappetizing as it is, throwing all the meal service carts out wouldn't work either. So, the easiest and heaviest thing to get rid of is fuel.

  • @dixie460 ur absolutely right but they do it way high so that the fuel wont hit the ground instead it floats waaaaaaayy up there

  • chemtrails lmao

  • das ist wieder einmal ein Fall von Umweltverschmutzung

  • "Attention passengers this is your pilot speaking, we're all going to die. Thanks and enjoy the rest of your flight!"

  • It is difficult to hear what they says on the microphone

  • @UltimatePredator100 That's because it's in French.

  • @Roboman2121I am not French and i can't speak French

  • @UltimatePredator100 "Sound engineer, can I get more noise on the mic please, more noise on the mic!"

  • *ping bong* attention passengers, we are going to crash, please remain calm

  • 2:25 and there goes all the cash....

  • part 2: So this process can be repeated a second time and when the presure is too high, the engine will be destroyed so when an engine is pumping first we have to decrease the thrust and power on the engine .

    The problem is coming from the first compressor or from something that happened in front of the engine. ice or small bird strike......Hope it helps oggy

  • So what is pumping: the first compresseur is pushing the air into the second stage, the compression room, then with the fuel, combustion then high temperature and high pressure and the second compressor is throwing this air outside of the engine.

    if problem on the first compressor the pressure decrease and the air instead of coming to the second compressor comes back to the first one, then there is a difference of pressure so a little explosion and the air is coming to the second compressor

  • i am translating the words from the french pilot. We are dumping fuel because the plane is certified for landing with a maximal weight; we took off the land with full fuel tanks so we are over the authorized limit for landing. it will last 20 minutes then we will be able to start our approach to Roissy. For an unknown reason 1 engine worked badly while we were climbing we call this a PUMPING engine problem. End of translation oggy from France

  • They should put an igniter on the port they're dumping fuel from, not only would it burn off the excess fuel and be better for the environment, but it'd make a pretty awesome light show.

  • @AwesomeMcTasty how would burning the fuel be better for the environment?

  • @jaredwang86

    Assuming it burns completely, it would just turn into carbon dioxide and water instead of dumping fuel that's probably toxic all over the ground and in the water and whatnot.

    Although, it probably wouldn't burn clean and so I guess it wouldn't be much better...

  • @AwesomeMcTasty one or the other Way before the Plane can land it has to get rid of the Fuel, otherwise the Wings will collapse under the weight and the Fuel will spread over the Runway. By the Way, no one really cares if it's toxic to the Ocean.

  • @smellcaster

    I just meant that it would look cool and they could say their reasons for doing it is to be "green".

  • Does anyone else see the dollar bills spewing out of that nozzle? Are is it just me?

  • Where does all that fuel end up?

  • @Osteele on some poor bastards beach house, I’m sure they dump it over ocean, away from land where it’s likely to cause a fire.

  • @chikchikboom1 Jet fuel isn't flammable. Explosive, but not flammable.

  • @Elmo187 Jet fuel is flammable (how else does it burn inside the engine?). It just has a MUCH higher flash point than av-gas etc.

  • Blah Blah Le Blah.  Skip to 2:20 to see what you came here for.

  • 737 is the only commercial airliner that can land fully fueled and loaded apparently

  • @Boofles1988 The Airbus Single Aisle Family can do it too.

  • @Boofles1988 Any commercial airliner can land fully fueled and loaded, it just causes some damage to the plane.

  • @Pvjinflight If you call collapsed landing gear "some damage"

  • @Boofles1988 Landing gears can take pretty much more weight than usual before collapsing, usually if theres enough dangerous situation you dont wait dumbing fuel but land even overweighted. For example that Fedex DC-10 that got almost hijacked landed succesfully very overweighted with no landing gear collapsing.

  • That's realy horrible

  • Dude are you stupid? If the engines blows trough the wings, the wings are going up, but nice video

  • I think that guy is saying no mobile phones

  • air france....

  • the fuel is hydrocarbon so when the liquid evaporates it becomes hydrocarbon gas in the air, nothing harmful

  • whart was that thing at 3:15 please tell me

  • @TheMuhammed05 thats the fuel that they are dumping so they can land

  • @TheMuhammed05 What thing? All I see is the wing and the tons of fuel spilling out :)

  • I used to think that France was a great country. Diabolical nuclear technology from France is coming to the UK as well as economic fascism courtesy of our own government and ATOS - a french company.

    So - I'm gutted to be honest. Well and truly f*******g the UK, France is. I always thought well of France - sad. But not as sad as how these two factors of french monetary systems are going to effect my country.

    UK Government are just as bad for allowing them.

  • Can anyone tell me what happens to the dumped fuel. Does it harmlesly evaperate before hitting the ground or does the dumped fuel actually spill onto the ground polluting it.

  • @duncan7599 Sadly it hits the earth...

  • @anton854 Please do some research before you make an uneducated comment like that.

  • @Xx11HaloGuy11xX well doest the fuel fall to the groud?

  • @anton854 After fuel evaporates it is vapor part of the air.

  • @Xx11HaloGuy11xX OH and thats why they have spesific drop points where it is allowed to drop fuel? Yeah, and the fuel magicly becaomes a part of the air ... ofcource and airplanes are driven by the love of the world

  • @anton854 So you believe that the fuel just falls to the ground? They have specific drop points and altitude to ensure the fuel evaporates. The only time it would hit the ground is if right after takeoff they have an emergency and have to dump at a few thousand feet. If it landed on concrete it would evaporate. On the ground it may soak in. But it rarely happens. So no need to worry Mr. Eco Friendly!

  • @Xx11HaloGuy11xX I though that if a plane needed to dump fuel it had to do it over the ocean to prevent it landing in urban areas but im probably wrong. lol

  • @sharpers123 Well if their was an emergency and there wasn't any bodies of water close by they would just dump it wherever. Their not going to land a plane that's to heavy just to prevent fuel from hitting the ground.

  • @duncan7599 It all evaporates harmlessly before coming close to the ground. Only if they dumped low level it might reach the ground.

  • was their a leak?

    

  • @14JetCobra No, the engine failed so they had to drop all of the fuel, so if the airplane crashed, it wouldn't catch fire.

  • @ThEXoTiCGuY Wrong. They dump fuel so they can land safely. When planes take off full of fuel, they are actually too heavy to land. They plan to burn most of the fuel before landing. When those plans go wrong, they have to get rid of it the only way they can: dump that shit! I guess you are partly right in your comment, but if the plane crashes your pretty much fucked anyway. Good day.

  • @MrGermany18 Oh. Ummm.. Good day. :)

  • @ThEXoTiCGuY Sorry wasn't trying to be a dick :) Just saying that that's the main reason they dump fuel in a situation like that.

  • @MrGermany18 That's correct. Basically, if they have an engine failure, then need to be as light as possible to be able to glide further (if all engines fail) or to aid the other remaining engines. They dump fuel because it makes the aircraft much lighter and easier to control in these situations.

  • @MrGermany18 you're not entirely correct...not all planes full of fuel are too heavy to land.

  • @meccaturbo My bad. Should have said fully loaded 747's are too heavy to land with full tanks.

  • @MrGermany18 No big deal....just wanted to point that out. It's all good.

  • @MrGermany18 Do they HAVE to drop the fuel on water or can they drowp it anywhere?

  • @sempron67 I believe if the aircraft is high enough, it can drop anywhere.

  • You guys use very offensive language.....

  • @ snugglepuma 1 out of 4 aren't such bad odds, should have continued flight to intended destination.

  • of course its airfrance

  • oh er landet omg.

  • thats why all airliners should have back up engines!

  • @ukDUBSTEPchannel Yeah, so the flight attendants can just crawl out on the wing and drop off the bad one and strap in the new one.

  • @ilikemonkeyss no i mean all air planes should have spare engines attached to the wings incase of an engine failure just like this case! i thought you would have common sence and you would know what i ment.

  • Isnt it ironic he is using a camera and the engine fails? Just a thought...

  • @Eeperist No. The only reason they say no Electronics is that it may disrupt radios.

    If they just say no mobile phones, someone could sneak something else in and use it as a phone, without knowing, causing the same amount of damage.

    Unless you mean't something different :P

  • herp derp chemtrails!

  • Air France dodgy I'd never fly with them ever

  • Is there more to Fuel Dumping than just releasing it in the air? Did they try to use it to push the plane?

  • what i really don't get is: why do people ALWAYS clap after landing? even when the jet isn't damaged in any way they always have to clap. it's moronic!

  • @WiredrawnMurder45 No. It is not moronic. It's a sign of appreciation towards the pilots that they flew/landed safely.

  • все правильно сделали!=)

  • happy holiday...

  • That's like dropping hundred $ bills down the toilet!

  • Comment removed

  • Mais ce n'es qu'un largage de Kero, en approchant de la destination.

  • 400 hundred engines failed!? Oh the Humanity!

  • Sure hope they got their money back.

  • why did they dumped fuel???????

  • @ThePlaya12345678

    since they are flying with one engine they need to get rid of some weight

  • @xHATEDxGhOsT isnt actually lost of money??

  • @ThePlaya12345678

    well yes but its necesary since the plaine cant land with that mutch weight, because its supposed to land in its destination with less weight since it used the fuel instead they dump it becuase they dirint use it

  • @xHATEDxGhOsT so much oil for nothing......

  • @ThePlaya12345678

    lol CEO of company cries wen they have to do fuel dumps lol like 50,000 in fuel gone out the window and since they have to to land they cant do anything

  • @xHATEDxGhOsT lol,,what a pity.....but with engine had a failure??

  • @ThePlaya12345678

    i dont get ur question why did the engine failed i dont know xD

    

  • @xHATEDxGhOsT witch engine had a failure???....

  • Thats not rain...

  • Man, I just love me some mac n' cheese!

  • I thought a 747 could fly a long trip on three engines. I believe BA flew a 744 from LAX to LHR on three engines. Well it maybe better to diver back CDG since it like that this 747 is base there.

  • @panamcunard A 744 can do it on three engines, but the better option is to divert. The BAW flight you're talking about did make the trip over three engines, but the failure occured over water.

  • @cscboulder11 744

  • Why the pilot don`t stop talking?

  • The fuel will evaporate before it even makes it to the ground people..

  • I can has lighter

  • wtf?

    

  • air france is shit

  • imagine putting a match up to that

  • Talk about Acid Rain!!!! , Weather for today, Scattered showers with a risk of cancer...

  • @maikgom1 Not a single drop hits the surface, imagine a fire bomber releasing water thousands of feet in the air, it will evaporate before ground contact. And Jet fuel as a better ability to dissipate into the atmosphere. Still, not ideal for the planet.

  • someones gonna get a free oily shower.....

  • Money is in the air, everywhere i look around ♫♫♫

  • Could of waited for me to get a gas can...

  • @PhoenixSlam - You take the left wing, I'll have the right wing LOL

  • poison mixed with kerosene = chemical trail = climatic engineering = shiiit

  • so, this fuel lands on the ground and contaminates water or smth?

  • @Omatunto exactly. but they have to do it, cause the plane is too heavy to land. there´s no other solution for this.

  • @Omatunto Negative

  • is that what i see when i see a plain leaving that white trail behind it in the sky

  • @russell379x No. Search Wikipedia for "contrail".

  • @russell379x contrail is when water vapor get heated by the jets then cools forming a cloud

  • Any US EPA faggots watching this? Hopefully.

  • @jimh1996 idc if the EPA is watching this... it's over France lolol

  • @jimh1996 dude could you use a word not so offensive? It's just, anti-gay slurs aren't really appropriate.

  • @jimh1996

    Yay, Red Necks! Dumping jet fuel is awesome, I hope they dump it on you next time so that you can die from leukemia.

  • @jimh1996 fuck you

  • why do they dump the fuel

  • @russell379x Because they need to significantly reduce their weight before they land. The takeoff weight limit is higher than the landing weight limit.

  • Can we get a translation of the pilot please?

  • They clap because they are happy to be alive on the ground after a scary situation

  • @1s1t1e1v1e1 clap ur hands ...stupid because people did it everytime , like if it was a show .... pilots are professionals not on a tv show !

  • CHEMTRAILS!.....hahaha just kidding.

  • lt's so funny on all these films that everyone turns on there camra or phone when ur not alowed. :P Also why dose no one clap at the end (well done pilots)

  • lt's so funny on all these films that everyone turns on there camra or phone when ur not alowed. :P

  • lovely laminar flow from the end of the wing... also, duncan7599, yes the fuel just dissipates into the atmosphere and makes its way to the earth eventually but in very low concentration.
