We're releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we're on production hiatus. This week's Mini Failure is about the Gimli Glider. Units are hard, but important. What was thought to be a full refuel was only 45% of the required fuel load, leading to an emergency landing at former RCAF Station Gimli.

July 23, 1983 should have been just another day in the skies for Captain Bob Pearson and First Officer Maurice Quintal, but a series of miscommunications and mechanicals issues caught up with them and their brand-new Boeing 767 once they reached their cruising altitude. In this week's episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast, we talk about the incredible story of Air Canada Flight 143, a flight crew who found themselves to be uniquely qualified for the most unexpected of issues, and the shocking reasons the plane-- now known as the Gimli Glider-- came to be powerless in the sky. (Only 2 episodes left! Starting in June we'll be exclusively on Patreon to share a new episode and layover episode each month.)

58. The Gimli Glider by Compelling Stories And Life's Lessons by Rabbi Nachum Meth

FIRST EPISODE OF NEW TUESDAY RELEASE SCHEDULE! Ever wondered what would happen to you if your flight ran out of fuel at cruising altitude? Ever wondered what would happen if a plane crashed into an active car race track? Ever wondered how it would feel to have a parade to celebrate the worst mistake of your life? Well, you're about to find out. Tune in to part two of our series on the Gimli Glider, Canada's aviation claim to fame, as Caroline and Alex cover the dramatic landing of the crippled Boeing 767.

On a beautiful 1983 summer day in Canada, a Boeing 767 was set at cruising altitude, bound for Edmonton. No one on board knew that their flight was about to become one of the most infamous flights in aviation history. Beneath the skin of the plane, something sinister was brewing: empty fuel tanks. Due to a tragic series of mistakes, less than half the necessary fuel was put into the aircraft, which carried 69 people on board. As the plane neared fuel exhaustion, the pilots realize too late that they've made a grave miscalculation. What happens when you run out of fuel at 40,000 feet? What can you do as a pilot, if anything? We're about to find out. Tune in to this episode as Caroline and Alex explore this notorious flight.

This week we're taking a much needed break and featuring one of our mini failure episodes from last fall; the Gimli Glider. Unit are hard, but important. An incorrect conversion led to the plane taking off with only 45% of its required fuel.

On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 lost power to both engines half way through its flight. The Boeing 767 with 69 passengers and crew onboard was flying at over 40,000 feet when the incident occurred and the chances of survival were not looking good. Without power, the flight crew would have to fly the 60,000-ton commercial airplane like a glider. It was a seemingly unwinnable situation with zero margin for error, and that's when things got worse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How can a church be like a passenger plane that runs out of fuel 8 miles in the air? For a plane to get off the ground, you need high air pressure to be great enough to give lift. For a plane to stay in the air, you need engines to keep the plane going at a proper speed. To keep going at a proper speed, you need fuel. So what happens when there's no gas and then no engines on a Boeing 767 at 41,000 feet? How is a church like an airplane?

This week we're headed to Canada to discuss the story of Air Canada Flight 143, which ran out of fuel 40,000 feet above rural Manitoba in July of 1983. What should have been a crash was narrowly averted by a pair of skilled pilots, a handful of algebra, and a landing site on a decomissioned airstrip in Gimli - which happened to be packed with Canadian car enthusiasts watching a racecar rally. Along the way, we'll talk about the Canadian air-traffic industry's imperial-metric changeover, how to upcycle an old Air Force base, and - most importantly - how to turn a Boeing 767 into the world's heaviest and least agile glider.

On July 23, 1983 a Canada Air 767 with 61 passengers and eight crew aboard ran out of fuel while flying over a remote area of Ontario, Canada at 41,000ft. The pilot and co-pilot were able to take the airplane and glide to to a harrowing but safe landing on a drag strip in Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. The outcome was less a miracle and more an amazing example of expert pilot work from Captain Robert Pearson and co-pilot Maurice Quintal. But how did this happen? How did a modern airliner run out of gas halfway through a flight? How did this impossible scenario come to pass? A series of coincidental mistakes culminating with some bad math set the wheels in motion to produce the scenario that was and will forever be known as The Gimli Glider. This is the story about how some small breaks in communication, a mis-calculated math problem, and dauntless skill all combined to create one of the most fascinating stories in the history of modern aviation.  Think running out of gas in your car is annoying? Try it miles in the sky while trying to get hundreds of thousands of pounds safely to the ground!

In today's interview with Uli Klausing, we discuss his formative years as an aspiring glider pilot in Northern Germany where he discovered his love of flying as a teenager around the Baltic Sea. The flying culture, comradery and support network of the clubs in this region have had a long-lasting effect on his flying career and has inspired him to begin his own Yukon Glider Association in the Yukon. As he nears retirement, Uli has made the time commitment and connections necessary to fulfill his desire to start the Yukon Glider Association as he shares his passion for flying without an engine. The 100th anniversary celebration of Yukon aviation is scheduled for Sunday August 16th2020 at the Yukon transportation Museum where Uli will have his glider on display along with information regarding his proposed Yukon Glider Association.

Air Canada Flight 143 runs out of fuel mid-flight and begins falling from the sky.

Air Canada Flight 143 was a Canadian scheduled domestic passenger flight between Montreal and Edmonton that ran out of fuel on July 23, 1983, at an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,000 m), midway through the flight. The crew was able to glide the Boeing 767 aircraft safely to an emergency landing at a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba, that had been turned into a motor racing track. This unusual aviation incident earned the aircraft the nickname "Gimli Glider". The Cornfield Meet: Air Disasters is brought to you by Michele Sargent (occasionally guest starring Andy Sargent).
