Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel! Today's video will all be about the fuel jettison procedure, or better known as "FUEL DUMPING". Why do pilots dump costly fuel overboard, after you´ve just paid for it as a passenger? And what a terrible pollution of the environment! So pilots have to have a good enough reason why they do that?
As jets began flying with US airlines in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the FAA rule in effect at the time mandated that if the ratio between an aircraft's maximum structural takeoff weight and its maximum structural landing weight was greater than 105%, the aircraft had to have a fuel dump system installed. Aircraft such as the Boeing 707 and 727 and the Douglas DC-8 had fuel dump systems. Any of those aircraft needing to return to a takeoff airport above the maximum landing weight would jettison an amount of fuel sufficient to reduce the aircraft's weight below that maximum landing weight limit and then land.
And in our case, we have a medical emergency just beyond the coast of Scottland which forces us to land at the next suitable airport, which is Dublin. Then we´ll do the math on how much fuel we actually have to dump in order to safely land at Dublin airport below the maximum landing weight to not damage the airplane.
We´ll quickly go over the fuel dumping panel and the actual fuel dumping hose of the Boeing 747.
I hope you enjoy this basic explanation video on the fuel dumping procedure.
BIG THANK YOU to my fellow subscribers who sent in the subtitles in their language, really appreciate your work!!!

A pilot and a successful youtuber?? Damn he's living the life
Se7en facts
His earning a lot of money
@@hotdog1798 but he stuggled for it. He had to to about 32 flights a day, transporting batches of skydivers for the entire day and when it's done wash the plane himself at the end of the day.
Or you just don't know how to enjoy your life like it is.
@@anirudh2000 a Day???
Not sure why I keep watching these videos....I must have been a pilot in my past life.
Simply because it looks like you love aviation just like me..
I’m obsessed
Bcs u want to be a pilot. BE 1 OF US
me too ahaha
Maybe you want to be a pilot in this live :) I want to !
If you were my professor I wouldn't skip a single class..
@Aviator Law Same
Same
@Maheen OH
So since he isn’t...I’m guessing you’re skipping?
Coz he's having class time length around 10-15 mins.... 😂
Me as a pilot: Control: "we need to dump fuel" Me: *PEDAL TO THE METAL WITH EUROBEAT ON*
Many airlines dump fuel, united airlines dump passengers
Santiago Arbelaez LMAO
Santiago Arbelaez old joke.
AviationMan98 Aviation "my opinion matters on the internet"
AviationMan98 Aviation are you stupid?
Santiago Arbelaez 😀
United be like: Why don't just drop the passengers lol
Why the Ebonics? It's not good grammar.
One passenger only weighs 0.08 tons. Doesn't make any difference.
NicYoong Productions So lets just drop the whole plane Probleme solved!

Pilots are wonderfully skilled people. Thank you Captain Joe.
The F-111 dump and burn clip was from Brisbane's Riverfire festival, which is held annually. Unfortunately, the F-111s are retired so, instead of the dump and burn signalling the start/end of the fireworks, we get F-18 Superhornets just buzzing around in the afternoon. The dump and burn was also used at the opening ceremony of Expo '88 in Brisbane.
Well that's gonna be one costly hospital bill... Operation 2000$ Care and medicine 3000$ 77 Tons of jet fuel 35.000$
77 tons of Jet-A is closer to $100k at current prices .....
Seriously!? In America hospital care would run you closer to probably 30k+ for any operation, depends where you are an ambulance can run you $10,000
Tom Lawrence what does my reply have anything to do with hospital bills?
@@bmwm750 didn't tag you
Dumping a fuel is not an issue for the airlines companies, simply because it's already paid by the passengers on board, its all about environmental issues
Love how you explain things. Yet again perfectly presented. Thank you.
she likes him,,hehe
I do not mind the way he explains this, but deliberately dumping fuel onto the sea and land is unethical. They should prosecute people who do it, or the engineers who designed planes to carry more weight that is possible to fly with. List of carriers engaging in dumping jet fuel on people should be published.
ginggur17 weight. That's it.
Most of the time professional pilots understand their first priority is passenger and cargo safety.
As you're being unloaded on a stretcher they whisper in your ear "do you have a credit card we can bill for the fuel we just dumped for your emergency?" Lol
Sounds like Ryanair
You’re dumping 77,000kg of fuel ⛽️ in air? More environmentally better to dump that passenger.
Squirrel Make sure you pick the drunk ones.
imagine if you're THAT passenger??? You wouldnt be happy for sure!
@@wishfulsinger01 To that I say - it's time to stock parachutes on board ;) If I was in a cramped torture seat that is every airplane seat these days for many hours I'd probably volunteer to just jump out :D
THE ENVIRONMENT WONT BE DAMAGED AS THE KEROSENE WILL EVAPORATE AND CRYSTALISE BEFORE IT REACHES 9000 FEET IN THE AIR
@@thundurr So where do you think all that evaporated kerosene will go ?
OK that water bottle demonstration instantly cleared up my confusion. Well done.
Well done oh yeah yeah

I'm not a pilot and averagely interested in aviation, but your videos are so nice to watch and it's so stress-relieving just to look at the positive man talking about aviation stuff with a high level of professionalism and a constant smile on his face! I've recently subscribed to your channel and you're my favorite youtuber from now on. Keep up the great job!
I just started an Airport Operations job with an airline and some coworkers were trying to explain this but I was just totally lost. Thanks for going more in depth!
You've just watched a bunch of lies and here's why.. kzhead.info/sun/gJiQZryjmqadiqs/bejne.html
In case of emergency landing, the plane will be damaged if it lands while overweight. There ya go
Saved me 9 minutes ty
STOP FAT FUCKS FROM FLYING!!!
God bless you.
I've done that before and I end up doing 200 Knots and kill the plane, the exercise that airlines should do when operating a bigger planes on short rout is to put what ever amount of fuel you need in order to keep the weight down. over fuel and dumping fuel is just a big waste of money and its bad for the environment, and hazard waste.

I die inside when joe says “but that’s for another video”
Thank you Captain Joe, I've learned a lot in this nice video very well explained answering to questions we may have. I ignored there was a max landing weight in the sense the plane can carry more fuel than tolerated to land with (if passengers+cargo is is loaded...), but for take off it's ok. Interesting difference well explained. Btw dumping fuel with flames would be more badass. ;D
5:29 He went FULL Engineering Explained with the whiteboard.
I hope he saw the video lol
@@andrewk8636 hope we can mention him in this comment section
u think that's engineering? lol
@@LuvableShe do you know who engineering explained is?
Short explanation: because the plane is too heavy.
But it's nice to know the explained version. Not just a short answer like yours.
Short question: why they add unnecessary fuel on the first place?
@Daniel . that is a good question. I guess it's better to have a little more extra than not enough. If e.g. something happens (medical emergency etc.) and the pilot has to emergency land somewhere else (at a different airport) they'll be able to do so with the extra fuel. It's for contingency purposes.
Because you do not want to put the bare minimum on the plane to just cover the trip. You must account for variables such as headwind or storms that cause the plane to burn more than usual amounts of fuel. Also there can be emergencies such as weather or a terrorist act closing down the destination, forcing the plane to detour to a terminal further away.
yeah and it's 9/11 today.
Thanks to you, when I fly I can have nice conversations with pilots when I do visit the cockpit with my parents
I am im Australia and was ditectly uhnder a dump n burn overhead for a festival one year. I nearly jumped through the ceiling. Wow its incredibly loud. They no longer allow them over our city which is sad. I find your vids fascinating. Love planes and flying. Thanks do much for all the great info.
I was just wondering why the rain smells weird🤨
Abele Wayne 😂😂
Hahha
Ikr?
😂😂😂😂😂
Rain smells because of all the ionization
Damm I knew United airlines dumped people but now fuel? Damm I’m hella shocked
Lmao 😂
Lol 😁, 242 baby
The Bahamas All big planes dump fuel.
UAL claimed at the time a regional affiliate company told them it was either putting a 4 person crew in the passenger section of the plane or cancelling a flight tomorrow because their "crew" would be out of their assigned scheduled position. UAL said they were not informed it would affect that doctor, however.
I’ve been on a plane once where the pilot’s dumped fuel (because we had fueled the previous day and the flight plan changed). Looked neat with the spray coming out of the wingtip.
I was looking for this answer for sooooo long , Thank you so much !!!💐
1:01 that was a United plane dumping fuel Glad they didnt dump any passenger
Ba dum tss
They already dumped all the passengers but were still overweight then they went to the fuel XD
Justin Lai Ba dump tss
What's with all these jokes about United Airlines? I don't get it
James Taylor West it's because about a month ago united airlines security beat up and kicked an Asian guy off the airplane even though he paid for his ticket because they overloaded it
Ahh so that's how they drop the chemicals that control the weather!
Ah, chemtrails.
Allen Choi THEY’LL TURN THE FREAKING FROGS GAY
Control the weather? Didn't you get the newsletter? We're going with controlling people's minds now. HAARP is for controlling the weather.
@@PaulTheSkeptic yeah it's a scary thought
@@liamo5448 Yeah? It's a scary thought? It sounds like you're taking my joke seriously. Do you think people can control people's minds by dumping fuel from a plane?
Thanks captain for giving me this very important and helpful knowledge 😊
Thanx captain Joe, like the way you explain!! You're a master teacher!
Moral of the story .. if you have a heart condition then only fly on planes that can dump fuel. 👍⛽
Yeah , stick to ground level travel where you can be rapidly transported to a medical center... And not force someone to waste dozens of tons of fuel and delay other people. Plus the risk emergency landings involve , pilots train for them but your mind is never really ready for one so the risk is always higher than on a normal landing.
Moral of the story if you have heart condition don't fly and ruin everyone's experience
@@TheTankCrew Yes, if someone has a heart condition and possibly could die, your delay is of utmost importance... *shaking head in disbelief*
Good luck finding a 777 going from Heathrow to Amsterdam.
Capt Joe said there is a special overweight landing procedure for planes not equipped to dump fuel. All planes should be able to land asap in an emergency.
Joe, make a ' a day in the life of a pilot' vlog! :)
Coming up :)
@@flywithcaptainjoe I'm a newer subscriber to your channel. I've been fortunate enough to be flying on planes since I was 9 months old. I also got to experience flying on the older planes and 747 on Pan Am several times from JFK to LHW. My first 'solo' flight home when I was 14 this EXACT situation happened. We had started crossing Trans Atlantic, were halfway between Iceland and Ireland. Passenger had a massive heart attack. We turned back to Dublin to land, get the passenger to hospital. But, sadly, by that time a couple hours passed and he didn't make it. This was before AED's were on planes. This is how I decided to learn CPR and go towards the medical field. Because, you simply just never know. Love your videos, easy explanations for us 'lay' folk and your enthusiasm. I hope your dream is soon fulfilled to become a full fledged captain and maybe we'll cross paths someday on a trans Atlantic via Lufthansa, KLM, BA or the like. Grosse Wünsch aus Ohio!😊
You work hard to tell us these things. That is very clear from this video. Thank you very much. Because this is very valuable for us to look forward to coming to the aviation industry like us.. from Sri Lanka ♥️♥️
Really interesting video, thanks Captain Joe. As an Afrikaans speaking South African, your pronunciation of the F-111 "Aardvark" put a real big smile on my face. FYI, it is pronounced something like "aart furk". Yes, the 'd's are 't's and the 'v's are 'f's in Afrikaans.
JOE, buy RYANAIR and make it BETTER!
buy Airberlin and give ryanair the pilots to re-initiate the canceled flight-lines, and try everything to get first class flying cheaper with the rest of the money...
Make Ryanair better? How would you do this, it's probably the most profitable airline in the whole world.
Yeah, it's more the stuff that's been going on in the UK ATM with them cancelling LOADS of flights!
@neodergrosse - First Class mit rein bringen, weniger Verspätung etc... das Ryanair-Konzept auf Business und First übertragen.
Ja ja, wenn es nur so einfach wäre.
Thank you for another informative video, Captain Joe. I appreciated the water bottle demonstration as well as the white board math example. You are an outstanding educator. You are clear, you break concepts down into understandable parts, and you look like you are having fun. Well done.
So right!
Great Information Joe, you are a Great Teacher as well ! Good Luck 🤞
Good use of units in the calculation, making sure that the results you get is the same unit as what you're looking for. Haven't seen that since high school.
Very well done Captain Joe. I have been working on aircraft for over 20 years. The average person really does not know how important the aircraft weight is at takeoff and landing. You do a fantastic job with these videos. Keep it up.
Captain Joe in a Boeing simulator??? I TRUSTED YOU!!!
Haha :) Your comment made my laugh! I´ll be back in the A320 Sim very soon ;)
He is gonna fly the 747-8 for Lufthansa? Maybe?
No, he mentioned why he was in the Boeing sim. It's because the A320 he flies doesn't have a jettison system. The 747 is the best available example.
I mean he could use the A300,310,330,340,350,380 for it.
Is3tfire Gaming yes of course but judging from previous videos, the 747 is the only available option.
Captain Joe explain very nicely I just enjoy seeing how nicely you explain💕
Captain you gonna make university professors losting their job! I learned more in this 2 minute then in my last2 years of the class room.. Thanks captain!
But he’s a first officer 😯
*But isn't cheaper and more eco-friendly to just drop people and cargo?*
Especially with these fuel prices, we have today :/
But cargo is important
dude imperfect so is fuel
I hope this is sarcasm
@@aquatic0124 It's not sarcasm. Some call it a joke.
Good video to watch when taking a dump yourself.
I'm doing that right now. :^)
Holy crap! Me too lol
Much needed thing to do after a big ass 🌯 🤣
True!! 🤣
You have a great quality in explaining things. please make more videos' on flight simulation, there are more than 2 million people having this hobby and many are serious to learn perfect flying lessons like me , God bless you !
I love the welcoming music in all his videos.
next video. why does united beat up their passenger
Anil Löeb Why should he leave if he paid like everybody else?
Anil Löeb It's not his fault that the airline overbooked,so why should he have to suffer the consequences? ''Oh you paid for this seat?Well,we're a bunch of idiots that overbooked this plane so please abandon any plans you had and please get off this plane and suffer the consequences of our mistake'' Seems unfair,doesn't it?
The flight wasn't even overbooked. Or rather, he wasn't removed because the flight was overbooked. Instead, what happened is that the airline decided to move some staff members to another location using that particular plane, and in order to do that, they kicked some passengers out because the plane was already full. Which makes it highly obnoxious. Law experts pointed out that United actually broke their own legal contract by doing that in this situation. In other words, what they did was illegal (because the contract has legal weight to it; it's not simply a sort of optional guideline that they can break at will.)
Cryptonian I heard they serve chinese takeout
Anil Löeb the problem is that he’s a doctor and he has patients waiting for him!
I'm glad you gave us that bottle demonstration. I would never had worked it out.
Seeing is believing mate
Squashy Aussie I know right.!!!
Hello, salut from Algeria, nice video Cpt. Joe, By the way all your videos are best May question is there min altitude for fuel dumpling? Regards
One of the BEST channels I have come across!!
Dont jump from high place before peeing. You can break your leg..
Rizky indra Pratama oh u know bro u don’t jump plane before peeing u know bro u break your face ye ye bro smh
It's far easier to dump passengers.....
Nick Breen With or without chutes? Lol
Lol
Oh dear, well you don´t want that do you :)
It is pure logic my Cap Dude. Simply eject the ill passenger and continue the flight, if you have a moral issue with this then feel better by ejecting the doctor with them, for care on the way back to sea level.
United airlines already has that procedure.
Hello Capt.Joe Your channel is amazing. Why while pilot is taking off they move to left side ?
What a great explanation and visual for this I actually feel like I learned something from this.
Thank you Captain Joe, I didn't know that fuel, weight, and flight time (along with distance) is carefully calculated prior to a plane landing. I also wondered how the fuel dissipates, (correct altitude evaporates fuel before it hits the surface). I originally thought it fell on the surface and or water causing contamination. Wow! No wonder why being a pilot can sometimes be stressful. Great video for laymen like myself!
I have installed a fuel dump on my car now. If I have to leave the highway unexpectedly, I dump the shit.
The Powerfox lol That was Savage
Might come in handy if you need to hit the exit ramp at 75mph. But I doubt it.
Try your best in holding off on unloading it until a cop is behind you (lol).
They should consider dumping rude passengers instead of fuel!
No but here’s a like
Very good explanation. Thank you!!

Respected Captain Joe Sir, Awesome Video. I am Really happy to watch your next Best Videos. Best Detail Explanations regarding Aeroplane. If I would be a Pilot, Definitely, I would be your Student. Salute and Thankyou Sir for Best Information Video. God Bless you.
From one aviation fan Joe to an Aviator Joe, thank you! 🤙🤙
I have more respect for Pilots after watching this video. Thank you for educating us. Very informative and straight to the point.
So basically to reduce the amount of fuel so that you won't have to do an overweight landing that can result in a number of repairs.
Bob No Or a crash in the first place
All the technical jargon about the max landing weight apart, there's another way to look at it. The heavier you are at the time of landing, that harder you'll hit the ground. The harder you hit the ground, the more serious nature of injuries that you're likely to suffer. That bottle filled with that yellow liquid was the best possible way to put things in perspective.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
The best I've ever seen or heard it explained... awesome.
Planes are good at dumping fuel and United Airlines are good at dumping passengers of their plane
No the plane is just peeing.

I love your videos I got sucked in and have no idea why? I have no plans on dumping fuel in my life but it is very interesting...

Some decades ago, a VC10 or a DC10, had to dump much fuel over Cape Town, South Africa, shortly after take-off. At fairly low altitude. It was widely reported in the media and people were up in arms about the pollution. A 747 pilot friend tells me he pumps about 6,5 metric tons of Jet A-1 through the 4 engines during the few seconds of reverse thrust. That calls for some serious fuel line plumbing!
Always extremely clear thanks much captain
Student pilot.. Note to self... When your passenger has heart attack...... ............. Dump the juice.!
Hehe :)
Good job joe. You should also note... it sucks to be a Flight Mech doing a hard landing inspection! 🤙🏻🤣
One deployment we had a KC-135 stratotanker take off and while the boom operator was checking the boom he extended it while still stowed. The hydraulics cut out and it was stuck out so the crew couldn't dump fuel. They had to fly for over 13 hours to be light enough to land. They were very unhappy when I got them in debrief.
3:51 that happened in a mission in a flight game called extreme landings pro and you should dump half the fuel and land back to the airport where you took off from the mission
Would love to see a video on the over-weight landing procedure
And suddently, everyone in the comment section knows more about plane engineering than the pilot who studied planes and how to operate them for years! Conspiracy theories are fun, but believing in them to the point of stating "facts" that you heard here and there or ideas that you came up with that have no proof to back them up (unlike actual science) is ridiculous.
Who are you talking to, or talking about? It’s definitely not ‘everyone’.
James Carter I know it is not every single person commenting, but we can't say that the majority isn't pretending to state facts that have no tangible proof in favor of a conspiracy theory, thus trying to discredit a goddamm independant pilot who is sharing his experience with planes. Please disregard the tone of my reply, it is not for you. I am simply irritated by these people.
I appreciate your courtesy. I honestly think at least 80% of the people just saying 'chemtrails' or the like are solely regurgitating the joke du jour on the subject and don't believe it. In the main feed, out of the first 60 comments which are coming up at the moment, only two are genuinely pro-chemtrails, and four comments including yours are claiming that "everyone" or a majority here, is promoting a conspiracy, whereas even if you include the weird ones saying jets don't burn liquid fuel, about 75% of the comments are not promoting conspiracy of any kind. Generalized admonitions don't make anyone inclined to say "that's about me and I should take the unspoken advice of people who are calling me an idiot while not explaining the hard science they claim to know". Somehow the simple point of 'different atmospheric conditions can make jet streams predisposed to remaining in the atmosphere for long periods' gets lost among all the 'people are stupid' comments.
conspiracy theories are fun as hell, but they rarely are intended to be considered anything more than fiction
Of course I know more about plane engineering than everyone...I slept in a Holiday Inn Express
Cool. Would have liked to see a more complete total overview analog calculation of the weight loss needed for landing. I'm ok at math just not willing to trust it alone in such a critical moment without an analog backup. the plastic bottle analogy and example were really good and almost did the job. An analog fuel gauge and an analog clock are what I'm referring to.
Thanks for sharing this video sir. I have always wondered why planes dumped their fuel.
Maximum Landing Weight is something I would never of thought of as being a thing. I just thought you can land with whatever you took off with.
You're not the only one to think of the same thing. It looks like they are trying to cut corners to me. Just design the plane to take the weight. Or have a passenger ejection tube.
There's an impact with landing, which can cause damage if you are too heavy.
Am I right that the captain and "co-pilot" have to eat different food on board (in order not to get sick simultaneously)?
Николай Кольченко myth
They usually just eat each others asses instead, cuz there gay!
That seems a little extreme to me... I doubt it...
Heard that one before aswell
Think that rule is still in place. It cost little to have and it has been cases of bad food.
this may seem really weird but i really like your smile, it somehow makes me smile :)
You are very good to explain things to understand. thank you very much sir
Thank you Captain Joe. Just what I wanted to know. Fantastic.
Great to hear, my pleasure :)
By the time I calculated it I'd have to start over because so much fuel was burned since I started lol. ;)
NO.....if I was comptroller of a company there would be no dumping of fuel for some old fuck who may or may not live to go to a hospital. You wait until we get to where we're going.
Peter Lafayette good thing you’re not a controller lol
He said 77,000 lbs is 77,000 tons,......did anybody in math class learn what I had....that a ton is 2,000 lbs? Simple math and nobody else seemed to have caught that😉😂🤔
77,000 lbs=38.5 tons!
How about we keep the fuel, but we flush the Creamy mushroom farfalle bake! Should save us a few ton's and keep the air con smelling sweet at the same time.
Thanks for adding in that the lighter a plane, increases its flight time, so yet another factor to calculate
Excellent as always Joe, you do a great job of explaining all things Aviation and should be very pleased with yourself. Without a doubt the very best on KZhead, sorry Dutch Pilot Girl, you do come a close second lol but how can you go past Joe’s simple concise explanations. Thanks mate, even tho I’m retired now you remind me of everything that is good about aviation and bring that green jealousy back to the surface lol 😎. Keep up the great work mate, can’t wait to see that fourth stripe one day, all the best to you from the great south land
You were a pilot... Plzz reply..

When he tried explaining this with a 747 Boeing, I couldn't help but think of Saxon's 747 (Strangers In The Night) XD
If I dump gas I get a hefty fine. I guess if you have enough money the EPA looks the other way.
Car users pay for all this pollution. Like congestion charges in towns, co2 charge and so on. Easy cash cow.
When you have the EPA so deep in your pocket that you basically are the EPA there is nobody to look the other way. Now who contols all of this? Thats a story for another time. Hint: its not the government lol.
I guess the next time you fly and there's an emergency, the EPA should just let you crash and burn up because people find fuel dumping to be a scam by the EPA.
@@jamesdalecopeland2719 Its called regulatory capture. Scott Pruitt, an Exxon employee, used to be a the head of EPA and then got replaced by Wheeler, another pawn of corporation.
@@eisernfront8549Put whatever name on it you'd like. You dont have to convince me. I'm well aware of how the lobbyists work. I was simplifying it for the sheep.
Wow, I’m a 744 pilot and I always wondered why the 800 failed so badly in pax config? Your numbers just gave me the answer!
Idk how I got here I was watching vids about pouring concrete then I saw one of your vids and now I'm hooked and I'ma watch every vid 😂😂😂
Wow and here i"m worried about miles per gallon. Tons per minute? jeez
perks of paying attention in your math class back in the days.
89 Alpha thinking the same thing. They can have a gps in the fuel pod they are gonna drop using parachute. Track it and use it later
Yay! I always wanted to know about this!
Do military planes do fuel jettison procedure or they are ok as designed for mission.
Captain you are Briliant, SURE U LOVE FLYING..Much Love from India ❤️🙏
