737 Pilot Reacts to SHOCKING Jeju 2216 Crash Report Update!

About this video

Max analyzes the Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash investigation update, which indicates the first officer shut down the wrong engine after a bird strike. Max argues that while the wrong engine shutdown was a factor, the investigation is overlooking other critical issues including the airport’s location in a high bird-strike area, inadequate bird mitigation measures, the concrete barrier at the runway end that violated safety standards, and the Boeing 737’s user interface design that may have contributed to the error.

Key takeaways

• Max contends the aircraft had sufficient energy to reach the runway despite shutting down the wrong engine, evidenced by its 37-degree turn and ability to maintain altitude during the pattern.
• Max argues the Boeing 737 throttle quadrant has fuel cutoff switches positioned too close together (about a quarter inch apart), which he believes contributed to the first officer’s error under stress.
• Max asserts that Muan Airport had the highest bird strike rate among South Korea’s regional airports and lacked advanced bird deterrent systems, and that the concrete barrier placement violated the 300-meter runway safety area standard.
