3s for Captain Nick Carr flying the c1700:01:43
is a dream job oh man I love the00:01:47
aircraft it's it's an awesome handling00:01:49
aircraft it's amazing for such a huge00:01:52
airplane uh it really does anything you00:01:55
want as a c17 pilot Captain car's aired00:01:59
troops out of Iraq and delivered00:02:01
emergency supplies for victims of the00:02:03
2011 Japan00:02:05
tsunami being a pilot is in his00:02:09
jeans since the time I was really young00:02:11
I've been flying with my grandpa and uh00:02:14
he taught me how to fly and uh I've00:02:16
always had that love of flying so uh to00:02:19
do it for a job really was my00:02:24
dream all right T 28 welcome to the00:02:27
brief how's everyone feeling tonight uh00:02:29
today I'll be the aircraft Commander00:02:31
Captain Carr and his crew have gathered00:02:33
to over their upcoming00:02:35
Mission their orders are to pick up00:02:37
Patriot missile launchers from a remote00:02:39
island in the Pacific and deliver them00:02:40
to California so fuel will be 125,000 lb00:02:44
on board the chronological order of00:02:47
events will be taken off from here at 1100:02:49
Zulu Landing in the morning at 16:30 and00:02:53
from 1630 will'll take that 10 and 1/200:02:55
hour flight to uh quadrine Island00:02:58
normally the C7 needs only two pilots00:03:01
and a load Master but the extreme00:03:03
distance of this Mission Demands a00:03:04
six-man crew uh we got a 22-hour day00:03:07
today so not a lot of room for uh error00:03:10
here uh Intel tactics we've already00:03:12
briefed all that up uh CRM topic would00:03:15
you like to brief it remember the basics00:03:18
aviate navigate communicate and then00:03:20
safely move the jet safely move the00:03:21
mission and uh everything else just00:03:23
icing on the cake the first stop is00:03:26
vandenbberg Air Force Base in California00:03:28
where the c17 will drop off a load of00:03:30
radar equipment then begins an 8,000 km00:03:34
non-stop flight to qualin Island part of00:03:36
the Marshall Islands in the Northern00:03:41
Pacific quadulan island is Tiny with00:03:44
only one short Runway that's just over00:03:46
2,000 M00:03:49
long the small Runway ends at the00:03:51
Ocean's Edge a risky Landing if they00:03:53
can't manage to stop in time you know00:03:55
there is a risk with it but uh it's it's00:03:57
it's something that we're trained to do00:03:58
it's something that we're capable of00:03:59
doing and something that you know we00:04:00
actually want to do that's the great00:04:02
thing about this plane here is that this00:04:03
plane can take oversized cargo to uh00:04:05
small runways you know places that uh00:04:08
typical planes can't get00:04:11
into in the heavyweight world of cargo00:04:14
planes the c17 is a00:04:20
champ 53 M from nose to tail it's almost00:04:24
twice as long as a00:04:27
737 and has a wing span that stretches00:04:30
just over 5100:04:33
M four fully reversible turbo fan00:04:36
engines power this Behemoth each can00:04:39
produce more than 40,000 lb of00:04:45
thrust it's 11:00 p.m. time for Captain00:04:48
Carr and his crew to board the c17 and00:04:51
head to00:04:55
California we depend on each other a lot00:04:57
in this aircraft um everyone has a very00:04:59
different specialty the load Masters and00:05:01
the pilots to the maintainers we like to00:05:04
uh make sure that you know the00:05:05
communication lines are open and00:05:07
everyone's comfortable with what's going00:05:08
on because you never know when someone00:05:10
can have an input that might save a bad00:05:12
situation in the cargo hole the load00:05:15
Masters crunch numbers in anticipation00:05:17
of the massive payload they'll00:05:19
eventually take00:05:20
on three Patriot missile launchers each00:05:23
weighing almost 6 metric00:05:26
tons the c17 is designed to handle all00:05:29
types of heavy loads and it's highly00:05:33
adaptable the floor in the c7's cargo00:05:35
area is specially designed to be00:05:37
reconfigured in a matter of minutes00:05:40
thanks to a network of rollers and rails00:05:43
and it operates pretty00:05:44
easily just by pulling it up like that00:05:47
and then the rollers00:05:49
themselves flip over very easily as well00:05:53
and this rail here provides lateral and00:05:55
vertical restraint for the cargo um and00:05:57
then the rollers obviously for bringing00:05:59
the car cargo on it and off the00:06:03
aircraft with just minutes to go before00:06:06
takeoff Captain car makes a final visual00:06:10
inspection big picture we want to make00:06:13
sure the airplane's clean there no00:06:15
cracks all the panels are uh configured00:06:17
properly making sure the brakes are uh00:06:20
in proper condition and basically just00:06:22
take a big uh overview of the jet I can00:06:26
see that there's nothing to the left00:06:27
nothing to the right that our wings00:06:29
might hit we got 169 ft of uh00:06:35
wingspan the flight crew gets the all00:06:38
clear from the control tower next stop00:06:43
California yeah as maneuverable as she00:06:45
is in the air when you're on the ground00:06:47
you feel how big the jet is and uh00:06:49
taxing is definitely something you got00:06:51
to take slow and just kind of roll and00:06:53
everyone keep your eyes outside make00:06:54
sure you're being safe on the00:06:56
ground thumbs up on the trucks clear on00:06:59
the right you ready for00:07:01
it clear on the00:07:03
left still clear right to take00:07:15
off safely off the ground the crew can00:07:17
now focus on the first leg of the00:07:19
journey uh right here I am doing our00:07:21
Coast out checklist this is something00:07:22
that we typically do uh basically00:07:24
anytime we're flying over the ocean00:07:26
we're going to be flying for about uh 500:07:28
hours uh and then should be arriving in00:07:30
uh uh00:07:32
Vandenberg in Vandenburg they'll need to00:07:34
quickly unload and then00:07:36
refuel to it is GE down the tight00:07:39
Mission schedule doesn't allow for any00:07:44
delays this quick turnaround means they00:07:47
have less than an hour to complete the00:07:51
unloading so since the pallet we so much00:07:54
we have to put the stretch down so that00:07:56
when we're bringing it off the jet the00:07:58
jet doesn't tilt back00:07:59
[Music]00:08:10
during the next leg of the journey00:08:11
Captain Carr and his team will log00:08:13
almost 8,000 km crossing the Pacific00:08:16
pushing c7's fuel envelope to the max00:08:20
this bird is what they call the U uh00:08:21
extended range so we go up to00:08:23
approximately 240,000 lb and that's00:08:25
limited based on our cargo weight uh as00:08:27
well so00:08:30
starting number one before takeoff the00:08:33
crew uses reverse thrust to back up in00:08:36
order to get the c17 in position on the00:08:40
runway the payload door is open so the00:08:43
load Master can see clearly when guiding00:08:45
the pilot backwards all right come on00:08:48
back come on back there are very few00:08:51
planes this size that can back up on00:08:53
their own power come on back the pilots00:08:56
depend on a running commentary provided00:08:58
by the load master00:09:00
keep the plane on track come on back00:09:02
little bit toward come on back we can't00:09:04
see out the back so we need that load00:09:07
Master back there to direct and uh he's00:09:09
talking the whole time and the agreement00:09:11
is that if he stops talking uh that00:09:14
we're going to stop immediately because00:09:16
we assume that he may have fallen out we00:09:18
don't want to run over it come on back00:09:20
every load Master will say come on back00:09:22
come on back 5 4 3 2 one stop00:09:41
the next leg of the mission is off to a00:09:43
good00:09:45
start let it roll roll00:09:49
it rotate rotate now the crew can settle00:09:52
in for the rest of this Marathon mission00:09:55
that will last for more than 2400:09:58
hours 600 km away in the Skies over00:10:01
Alaska another c17 is about to fly into00:10:04
a challenging combat training Mission00:10:06
involving over 7500:10:13
paratroopers the C7 crew from Joint Base00:10:16
Pearl Harbor hicka is heading out over00:10:18
the Pacific Ocean on their long journey00:10:20
to the Marshall Islands there they will00:10:23
pick up a load of patriot missile00:10:24
launchers and deliver them to California00:10:27
as they're needed at another base00:10:31
Patriot missile systems are designed to00:10:33
detect and shoot down incoming enemy00:10:35
missiles each launcher is about the size00:10:38
of a tractor00:10:44
tra whether it's moving missile00:10:46
launchers or delivering troops to a00:10:47
combat zone the C7 glob Master 3 was00:10:51
designed for00:10:53
war and to sharpen their combat skills00:10:56
many C7 Crews head north00:11:06
Alaska's rugged terrain provides an00:11:08
environment much like what troops and00:11:10
flight Crews would face in war zones00:11:12
like00:11:14
Afghanistan it's well before sunrise at00:11:17
Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson near00:11:19
Anchorage and this c17 is being prepped00:11:21
for a training exercise that's anything00:11:24
but00:11:25
routine it's Arctic War00:11:28
day all right everyone welcome I've got00:11:31
uh 0602 local in 45 seconds welcome to00:11:35
war day everyone should be a good00:11:37
Mission War day pulls together all of00:11:40
the bases available resources to create00:11:42
combat conditions for the c7's commit at00:11:45
1811 and the c17s are in the center of00:11:49
the action morning everyone Lieutenant00:11:51
Chris Warren I'm going to be giving you00:11:52
your Intel brief today bottom line we00:11:55
have a couple guys uh in country00:11:57
currently they've gotten some electronic00:11:58
intelligence that we need to get out to00:12:00
prevent a potential terrorist attack00:12:02
that could be imminent two c7s will play00:12:05
a leading role in the operation their00:12:07
mission is to drop paratroopers over a00:12:09
remote Mountain Valley and rescue two00:12:12
American operatives carrying Vital00:12:18
Information it's a highly coordinated00:12:25
exercise and just like a real Combat00:12:27
situation nothing is left the chance00:12:30
cover a couple mission objectives first00:12:32
81 will be be myself major Phillips we00:12:35
have Captain wler with us as well after00:12:37
the briefing the C7 Crews go over their00:12:40
mission major Brian Phillips will be at00:12:42
the controls of one of the00:12:44
c17s he's concerned about the wind00:12:47
conditions at the drop zone called the00:12:48
DZ where the paratroopers will jump we00:12:51
could have winds guesting 20 25 knots so00:12:55
we're going to need need to get a good00:12:56
report from major Dylan up there on on00:12:59
the DZ so we can get a make a call on on00:13:01
the jumpers as part of the mission each00:13:04
c17 will drop approximately 7500:13:06
paratroopers who will secure the valley00:13:09
where the aircraft need to land they00:13:10
were going to be gusting up through00:13:11
Annabelle pass Pretty bit 20 25 knots00:13:17
maybe with an hour to go before the war00:13:20
scenario begins all the players get into00:13:22
position jet fighters will play the role00:13:24
of the enemy While others will be00:13:26
protecting the00:13:28
c7s00:13:31
even an awax jet is deployed to provide00:13:33
Airborne command and help detect enemy00:13:38
aircraft we have a real unique training00:13:42
environment here in Alaska though it00:13:44
allows us to basically practice our00:13:45
wartime Mission at home and it's a00:13:49
phenomenal capability that we have here00:13:50
it's it's really00:13:53
awesome at the crack of dawn the00:13:55
paratroopers make their way across the00:13:58
tarmac00:13:59
wearing their parachutes and carrying00:14:02
their 36 kg kit packs just walking is a00:14:07
struggle like you never W before the00:14:10
paratroopers awkwardly make their way up00:14:13
the back00:14:14
r on the GP don't step on That00:14:17
Metal and the morning de on the steel00:14:19
ramp doesn't00:14:26
help while the jumpers settle in00:14:31
major Phillips and his co-pilot Captain00:14:33
John Wendler examine the location00:14:35
coordinates where the paratroopers will00:14:36
be deploy this is an overlay of the Drop00:14:39
Zone and uh we use it to make sure our00:14:43
computer is navigating correctly to the00:14:44
drop zone so it's it's uh guided there00:14:48
by GPS however it's backed up visually00:14:50
by myself and the co-pilot the Drop Zone00:14:53
known as the DZ is 354 km north of the00:14:56
base that's where they've been00:14:58
instructed to resue the the two stranded00:14:59
spies when I go down to stairs to brief00:15:02
the jump master and the Army uh we're00:15:04
going to go over all this information00:15:06
right here so that they know they have a00:15:07
good idea of what the DZ looks like and00:15:09
they know we know what it looks like as00:15:10
well okay all right the profile altitude00:15:14
with the doors open is going to be 1,00000:15:16
ft AGL okay right now uh the wind and00:15:19
altitude are 210 at 20 on the surface00:15:21
they're 1 180 at 3 gusting the 10 knots00:15:24
gives you a limelight time of 65 seconds00:15:27
over the DV with a 17 flying at an00:15:30
altitude of just 1,000 ft over the Drop00:15:32
Zone the jump Masters will have only 6500:15:35
seconds to get all the parat res any00:15:38
longer and the plane runs out of time00:15:40
and risks flying into the side of a00:15:42
mountain like you guys I can see that00:15:44
line start popping them out we wait till00:15:47
the end of the D it's a malfunction we00:15:49
got serious issues with that terrain up00:15:55
there at 0900 hours F22 take flight and00:16:00
War day00:16:04
begins other Fighters already in the air00:16:07
act as the00:16:11
enemy take ready for their combat00:16:15
Mission major Phillips and his crew are00:16:17
cleared for00:16:25
takeoff on the way to the Drop Zone00:16:27
major Philips contains an altitude of00:16:30
1,000 ft we fly a low level because the00:16:34
c17 is large it's not a stealth aircraft00:16:37
at all so our tactics to avoid radar00:16:40
detection is to fly low to the ground so00:16:42
when I say low level I mean it's a route00:16:45
uh through the mountains at anywhere00:16:47
from 300 to 1,000 ft above the00:16:55
ground during the flight everyone in the00:16:58
cockpit keeps a sharp eye out for enemy00:17:04
Fighters meanwhile the paratroopers00:17:06
below wait patiently and the load00:17:08
Masters await00:17:11
instruction yeah what's up00:17:16
time we constantly need to inform the00:17:18
load Masters what's going on that way00:17:20
they can communicate to the Troops in00:17:22
the back to let them know where we are00:17:24
how long till they00:17:27
jump00:17:29
[Applause]00:17:36
this is you have cleance for drop as00:17:40
major Phillips approaches the Drop Zone00:17:42
the jump Masters get the paratroopers00:17:53
ready the load Masters are in charge of00:17:56
opening and closing the two side doors Z00:17:59
do are clear00:18:02
open00:18:06
stand the air deflector to the right of00:18:08
the jump platform prevents the jumpers00:18:10
from being pushed against the side of00:18:12
the plane by the Air Stream stand by00:18:17
ready ready lights on00:18:25
seconds flying at this low altitude00:18:28
makes bumpy00:18:30
ride they're flying at just 1,000 ft and00:18:34
are surrounded by some very unforgiving00:18:36
mountains it's up to Major Phillips and00:18:39
his flight crew to keep the jet level00:18:41
and get the Troopers out00:18:50
fast is that a good 30 minutes it's00:18:53
Arctic War day in the sky over00:18:57
Alaska and the of a C7 glob Master 3 is00:19:01
30 seconds away from launching an urgent00:19:06
maneuver 75 paratroopers are poised to00:19:10
jump out the side doors as the c1700:19:12
rapidly approaches the Drop Zone in a00:19:14
remote mountainous area Northeast of00:19:18
Anchorage there you go the paratrooper00:19:21
mission is to secure a remote air strip00:19:23
so the C7 team can land and pick them up00:19:26
along with the two stranded spots00:19:31
it's extremely noisy in the cargo area00:19:33
the load Masters and jump Masters are00:19:35
forced to communicate using hand00:19:40
sign biggest thing we're worried about00:19:42
when we have jumpers going up back of00:19:43
the airplane is a toad parachutist00:19:45
that's as someone's parachute doesn't00:19:48
leave the deployment bag so they're just00:19:50
hanging behind the airplane smacking up00:19:52
against the side I've only ever heard of00:19:54
it happening once um the load master was00:19:56
able to get the jumper back inside in00:19:58
less than a minute and with other than a00:20:00
few cuts and bruises the jumper was00:20:05
fine as the C 17 nears the Drop Zone00:20:08
major Phillips concentrates on keeping00:20:10
the aircraft as steady as00:20:12
possible well it's really critical to be00:20:15
stable at your drop altitude so when00:20:18
those guys are standing back there out00:20:19
in the door they're not getting rocked00:20:21
around and we know they're going to be00:20:22
at the right air speed required for the00:20:24
air00:20:25
drop step by ready bit less than that00:20:28
little bit l00:20:34
at 1 ft into a steady 240 kmph it's00:20:38
nearly go time when the light goes green00:20:40
there is no turning back 10 seconds stab00:20:44
here we go co-pilot Captain Wendler them00:20:47
down 3 2 one green light GRE on Kick00:20:57
Out and anytime we have guys going off00:20:59
the back I'm always always concerned00:21:02
with their safety it's not just cargo00:21:05
they're actually live human beings that00:21:07
are going out the paratroopers jump from00:21:10
both side00:21:12
doors they have only 65 seconds before00:21:15
the C7 has to climb higher to avoid00:21:18
crashing into a00:21:27
mountain00:21:30
paratroopers from both c17s fill the00:21:33
air their focus is landing as close to00:21:36
the unpaved runway as00:21:43
possible parachute Landings aren't00:21:45
always smooth but luckily everyone00:21:47
touches down without00:21:52
injury High over the Waters of the00:21:54
Pacific Captain Nick Carr and his c1700:21:57
crew based out of Hawaii are halfway00:21:59
through their Marathon flight mission to00:22:00
pick up Patriot missile00:22:03
launchers cruising at an altitude of00:22:06
35,000 ft the c17 is heading to kadulin00:22:09
Island at 80000:22:12
kmph for the crew that's not fast00:22:16
enough well you notice we're a little00:22:18
bit fatter than the conventional00:22:19
airliner so we'll be uh cruising along00:22:22
here at Mack 74 and uh normally we get00:22:25
airliners crossing right over the top of00:22:27
us and uh we wish we could uh throw a00:22:30
rope on and hold on to him but00:22:32
unfortunately not so you know we can do00:22:34
a lot uh a lot of cool things uh but F00:22:38
Bast isn't one of00:22:40
them the crew has already passed through00:22:42
several time zones So to avoid confusion00:22:45
everyone on the plane synchronizes their00:22:47
watches to Greenwich00:22:49
meantime so right now I got my watch set00:22:51
to 311 and you probably do too right so00:22:54
uh in uh Greenwich England is 311 right00:22:57
now and uh that's what we go off of so00:23:00
we don't have to do time conversions00:23:01
everywhere we go once they reach00:23:04
quadulan Island the crew will face a00:23:06
daunting challenge land the c17 on a00:23:08
very short runway in the middle of the00:23:11
Pacific00:23:14
Ocean c17s were specifically designed to00:23:17
be able to land on short and often00:23:19
unpaved00:23:23
runways the key to the c17 short00:23:26
Landings is its propulsive lift system00:23:28
which directs engine exhaust onto the00:23:30
large wing00:23:32
Flags this Alters the pitch of the nose00:23:35
and creates more lift allowing for a00:23:37
steeper descent and shorter00:23:41
Landing but this design doesn't00:23:44
guarantee a safe or easy00:23:50
Landing so that was just F the in the00:23:53
Skies over Alaska Arctic War day00:23:55
exercises00:23:57
continue with the paratroopers safely on00:23:59
the ground the static lines are pulled00:24:04
in and the load Master secure the doors00:24:07
as the aircraft climbs higher say it's00:24:10
9,500 they head further into the00:24:12
mountains to hone their cranking and00:24:13
banking00:24:15
skills these are low-level steep turns00:24:18
within close range of the high peaks so00:24:20
what we're going to get into is the00:24:21
Alaska range which is part of what Mount00:24:24
McKinley we call Denali here00:24:27
locally00:24:29
getting into that mountain turbulence00:24:31
now see going up this range here the00:24:33
Alaska00:24:35
range say is 13,700 when you're uh00:24:39
flying around in a Terrain like Alaska00:24:41
where you have you know very large uh00:24:44
Peaks and you know some really really00:24:45
deep valleys you you know really have to00:24:47
be able to carve and and turn that big00:24:49
aircraft to keep from hitting you know a00:24:51
big wall of granite Charlie is still 91900:24:54
Charlie00:24:57
Al 4,000 ft it's across the river 4,00000:25:01
for an aircraft that tips the scales at00:25:03
almost 190,000 kg the c17 is00:25:07
surprisingly00:25:11
Nimble it's a very impressive aircrafts00:25:13
I mean you know flying low to the ground00:25:15
350 knots or 300 ft you can still yank00:25:18
and bank with the best of them so so she00:25:20
can definitely dance that a good 2000:25:22
minutes00:25:25
yes yeah we good when you're talking00:25:29
Mountain low levels you have to always00:25:30
anticipate uh the direction you're00:25:32
turning how far in advance you're going00:25:34
to need to start that turn and that all00:25:36
depends upon uh your air speed and your00:25:38
altitude and uh really comes from00:25:40
training that you know when to start00:25:42
those turns and that's why the the00:25:44
training here is so beneficial these00:25:46
low-level training Maneuvers are geared00:25:48
to Flying under enemy radar in hostile00:25:50
War zones so you want to turn inside all00:25:53
that stff yeah I got00:25:56
it 13 you to 2000 will be at the top of00:25:59
the world the00:26:01
mo just keep climbing yeah that's00:26:05
perfect y you the biggest thing for us00:26:08
is when we're trying to get that lowle00:26:09
training is the ability to uh be Visual00:26:12
and see the ground so as long as we have00:26:14
you know the ability to see there a big00:26:16
hunks of granite around us then we feel00:26:18
comfortable getting down and get some of00:26:20
that best training we00:26:21
can unfortunately we're a little bit00:26:23
further over the mountain when I figured00:26:24
we the sun is broken through the clouds00:26:26
and is working to their advantage we00:26:28
actually prefer that sun you know at an00:26:30
angle then it'll create that shadow00:26:32
effect it helps us get a good visual00:26:34
depth perception as a pilot it's very00:26:36
pilot friendly when you're flying close00:26:37
to the ground like that but the clear00:26:40
weather doesn't mean they can let their00:26:41
guard00:26:42
down proximity proximity the alarm gets00:26:46
everyone's attention in the cockpit the00:26:48
other c17 is just off their wing00:26:56
tip it's Arctic day over the mountains00:26:59
of Alaska I never get tired of seeing00:27:01
Mount McKinley out there it's a00:27:02
beautiful scenery major Phillips and his00:27:04
crew have dropped off 75 paratroopers an00:27:07
alarm suddenly gets everyone's00:27:09
attention proximity proximity the alarm00:27:14
warns the crew that the other c1700:27:16
participating in war day is00:27:18
nearby West Conta Anor they're flying in00:27:22
very close formation for aircraft this00:27:24
size luckily the good visibility allows00:27:27
the pilots to each other if we're in viz00:27:30
so we can see the two aircraft and we00:27:31
can see the ground we'll fly a lot00:27:33
closer obviously with a large aircraft00:27:35
like this our wake turbulences can00:27:36
affect you know the guys that are behind00:27:38
us so at the same time you know you've00:27:40
got two large aircraft that are very00:27:41
close to the ground flying very very00:27:48
fast the second c17 is dropped back it00:27:51
is now flying right off major Philips00:27:53
tail the trailing pilot is constantly00:27:56
making adjustments trying to avoid the00:27:58
turbulence created by the plane in00:28:01
front if you're directly behind our00:28:04
aircraft and another aircraft there are00:28:05
a lot of wined vortices coming off00:28:07
there's a lot of turbulence so he is00:28:09
getting rocked around a little bit some00:28:11
things he can do is he can stack00:28:12
slightly above us and that'll help get00:28:14
us out of our our wash there's no00:28:17
drafting in airplanes you got to stay00:28:19
out of the way in combat situations the00:28:22
c17 size makes it an easy target so it's00:28:25
designed with a distinctive defense00:28:27
mechanism00:28:33
magnesium flares radiating Heat at over00:28:36
1,000° C draw heat seeking missiles away00:28:40
from the aircraft most countries in the00:28:42
world you know have access to that kind00:28:44
of that kind of threat for airplanes to00:28:46
fly low and slow to the ground and so00:28:48
flares is a primary defense mechanism to00:28:50
help protect our airplane from INF00:28:54
threat the distinctive smoke Trails left00:28:57
behind by the flares are known as angel00:29:02
wings 4800 km Southwest across the00:29:06
Pacific another c17 is on a marathon00:29:10
flight its mission to pick up a load of00:29:13
patriot missile launchers from the00:29:15
remote Marshall Islands Big Island about00:29:18
100 miles off our00:29:20
RightWay and I can't see 100 miles00:29:26
anyway this six-man crew has been in00:29:29
flight for 19 bone aing00:29:34
hours those not needed in the cockpit00:29:36
try to rest but the c17 wasn't built for00:29:40
Comfort basically uh you know you try to00:29:43
sleep when you can you know there's ill00:29:45
expression you uh sleep till you're uh00:29:47
hungry and then you eat till you're00:29:49
tired but uh uh unfortunately for us you00:29:52
know you know this is part of the game00:29:54
you know this is this is kind of what we00:29:55
do so so really what you have to do is00:29:58
whether it's resting when you can kind00:30:00
of sneaking in catnaps just being honest00:30:02
with these crew members00:30:04
well you00:30:06
feeling pretty00:30:08
tired I think I'm uh go grab West and00:30:12
jump in for last 45 or so all right get00:30:15
all00:30:18
later the managing of the fatigue is a00:30:21
is a huge part of what we have to00:30:24
do we switch out pilots in the seat let00:30:27
other guys get rest in the00:30:30
bunk try to get a workout in when you00:30:32
can try to get some food in when you00:30:37
can just mess up if you're feeling tired00:30:39
and let your your buddies know so that00:30:41
they can step in for00:30:46
you back in Alaska major Phillips and00:30:49
his c17 are heading toward a short00:30:51
unpaid Landing Strip to pick up00:30:53
paratroopers and two Allied00:30:56
spies but the training exercise suddenly00:30:58
turns dangerously00:31:03
real Hey00:31:05
Jo the flight crew has detected a00:31:08
serious problem with one of the engines00:31:10
yeah we notic an abnormal indication on00:31:13
one of our engines the the oil quantity00:31:15
is dropping uh right now everything's00:31:17
safe we want to make sure that the00:31:18
airplane stays flying thr the back right00:31:21
thr off back right now but as it goes up00:31:23
the quantity is going down you right now00:31:26
we're ran all the all the uh emergency00:31:27
check L make sure the airplane still00:31:29
safe to fly everything's good to go uh00:31:31
we train for the worst case scenario if00:31:33
we we end up losing an engine for for00:31:35
that particular the reason the crippled00:31:37
number one engine is forcing the crew's00:31:39
hand flying over the mountains is no00:31:41
time to take00:31:42
chances what's going on okay here we go00:31:44
we got um oil quantity low message so we00:31:48
may have to shut down the engine as a00:31:51
precaution engine number one is losing00:31:54
oil at an alarming rate below the load00:31:57
Master looks to if he can spot the00:31:59
leak there are no obvious leaks but the00:32:02
risk is too great and the mission is00:32:04
scrub so we're00:32:07
head the tower at home base must now00:32:10
dispatch another cargo plane to get the00:32:12
stranded paratroopers back00:32:15
home while major Phillips eases his c1700:32:19
back to base uh we will train down the00:32:22
two engines know at that point it is not00:32:24
a fun place to00:32:26
be uh three it runs really well it's00:32:29
designed for that00:32:30
redundancy two it will one in it will00:32:33
not so two in is your bare minimum you00:32:36
know our job is to get the jet back as00:32:38
soon as possible so take care of00:32:49
it1 as he approaches the airport major00:32:52
Phillips is immediately cleared to00:32:54
land visual Landing 122 your00:33:04
target he brings the jet down gently00:33:06
doing his best not to damage the00:33:08
crippled engine any00:33:13
further okay I guess we're going to shut00:33:16
down00:33:17
here it's disappointing but I mean uh00:33:19
things like that happen and you know we00:33:21
can uh try again another day for major00:33:24
Phillips and his crew their mission is00:33:26
over00:33:29
but in the middle of the Pacific just a00:33:31
few kilometers from kadulin Island00:33:33
Captain Carr and his crew are about to00:33:36
face the biggest challenge of their long00:33:45
mission Captain Nick Carr and his crew00:33:47
have been flying for 20 hours now00:33:50
they're closing in on coagulant island00:33:52
in the Marshall Islands for their Final00:33:54
Approach oh man are we there yet00:33:58
[Applause]00:33:59
yeah we've been at uh we've been going00:34:00
at it for about 20 hours now we alerted00:34:03
in Hawaii at 9900 p.m. it's now 5:0000:34:06
p.m. the day after so uh long day so00:34:10
we're looking forward to00:34:11
Landing with their mission barely half00:34:14
over the crew focuses on a safe landing00:34:16
on a tiny remote runway in the middle of00:34:18
the00:34:20
Pacific we need a 3500 ft of Landing00:34:25
Runway that's our minimum however uh as00:34:29
far as stopping distance usually we can00:34:31
stop this thing in less than 2,000 ft if00:34:33
we need00:34:34
to so as we come in on downwind I'm00:34:38
thinking about air speed altitude and00:34:40
aircraft00:34:44
configuration angling final you got WS00:34:47
from the right we leveled off at 1500 ft00:34:50
and we got the runway00:34:53
inside I got you 500t down00:34:56
ft all right I'm going to try to keep00:34:58
right there we configured the flabs to00:35:00
one half uh we got cleared to land and00:35:03
I'm just worried about getting on Runway00:35:05
Center Line making sure we land within00:35:07
the first 1500 ft of the runway on speed00:35:10
so uh we've got room to stop line00:35:15
300D left no00:35:17
Factor on Final we bring the flaps to00:35:20
three4 uh start to slow down and uh we00:35:24
got the gear down we're good to00:35:26
go00:35:28
5000:35:33
50 once the wheels touchdown the00:35:36
powerful brakes take over the braking00:35:39
system on this thing is amazing you'll00:35:40
stop the plane in a very very short00:35:42
distance c17s can go from more than 32000:35:46
down to 40 kmph in00:35:51
seconds all right00:35:55
nice there are 12 breake ass assemblies00:35:58
one for each wheel each weighing over 4500:36:02
kg all this gray matter right here is00:36:04
it's a composite material that you just00:36:06
don't get at your local auto par store00:36:09
with so much stress placed on the00:36:11
braking system every assembly gets a00:36:13
thorough visual inspection before and00:36:15
after every00:36:17
flight each one has a wear indicator00:36:19
that's easy to spot and as the brake00:36:22
wears more and more this Rod will00:36:25
actually start to slide into the tab and00:36:27
once the tip of the rod and the top of00:36:30
the tab meet and they are flush then we00:36:33
know it's it's to be a bad break and00:36:35
needs to be changed I can tell by00:36:37
looking at the rod is that the brake has00:36:39
about another month's worth of flying to00:36:44
do the crew has been on the ground for00:36:46
only a few minutes and despite their00:36:48
long journey there's no time to00:36:51
rest 1 200:36:55
3 the C7 is working under a firm00:36:58
deadline we the Army needs the missile00:37:01
launchers back at vandenbberg Air Force00:37:03
Base in California by end of day00:37:05
tomorrow for00:37:13
redeployment as a load your your main00:37:15
responsibility is to do the weight and00:37:17
balance uh of the cargo on the aircraft00:37:20
as well as loading it and unloading00:37:22
inside these containers are the00:37:24
components that make up Patriot missile00:37:26
launchers and each one weighs almost00:37:28
6,00000:37:31
kg there are three of them coming aboard00:37:34
today and they need to be positioned00:37:36
according to the plane CG or center of00:37:38
gravity let's try to push this forward00:37:41
just a little00:37:45
bit balance of the plane is uh extremely00:37:48
important so that the plane can take off00:37:50
so if uh if you have it if you have it00:37:52
wrong um a lot can go wrong if it was00:37:54
too nose heavy for example when the00:37:56
pilot pulls back back to rotate the00:37:58
aircraft on takeoff it may not rotate00:38:00
and and it may not take off or if it's00:38:02
too tail heavy you may pull back and it00:38:05
may pull back too far scrape the tail or00:38:08
once you get off the ground you could00:38:10
stall the aircraft because you are have00:38:12
too much weight in in the back of the00:38:16
aircraft you'd like to put the heaviest00:38:19
piece of cargo in the center right on00:38:21
where your center of balance is supposed00:38:22
to be and then sort of pyramid off um00:38:26
you know lighter as you go out so that00:38:28
you know almost without a shadow of00:38:31
doubt that right there in the middle is00:38:33
is where your CG is the pallets must00:38:36
line up perfectly with the Locking00:38:40
devices once the pallet comes in place00:38:42
we line it00:38:43
up and these locks go into these slots00:38:46
and the pallet and holds it in place00:38:48
this is where you initiate the locks to00:38:50
hold the pallet into the position that00:38:52
you you want it once they're solid it00:38:54
indicates the locks are locked into into00:38:56
the system a loose pallet could spell00:38:59
disaster the c17 can p two G's on a 60°00:39:03
bank so a 6,000 kg pallet suddenly00:39:06
doubles in00:39:08
weight the worst possible thing probably00:39:11
if something wasn't restrained correctly00:39:13
and upon Landing when they break pretty00:39:16
hard if something were to fly forward00:39:18
especially when I'm sitting up front00:39:20
there uh that that would be my worst00:39:22
fear a long tiring day comes to a close00:39:26
it's a good way to end PR day you know00:39:28
fun and the crew heads for a long00:39:30
overdue night's rest they'll need it00:39:33
before facing one more00:39:35
[Music]00:39:40
challenge Captain Nick Carr and his c1700:39:42
flight crew have just flown over 7700 km00:39:46
