19:28Now PlayingA United Airlines Boeing 767 arriving into Newark made headlines after striking a light pole and a truck while on final approach to Runway 29. In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down exactly what happened, how an aircraft can get dangerously low on approach, and what systems and procedures are designed to prevent this kind of incident.
Using real-world aviation knowledge, Captain Steeeve walks through glide slope management, visual versus instrument approaches, and what pilots and air traffic control are watching during those final moments before landing. He also explains how something like this can happen even in a highly controlled environment—and what investigators will be looking at moving forward.
This is a fascinating look at how small deviations can turn into major incidents, and why precision matters so much in aviation.
