How Airline Pilots Can Prepare For Departure In Under 25 Minutes

- Cockpit scenes filmed with approval, in partnership with Envoy Air Inc., under Part 91... Now that we've covered topics like training, initial operating experience, reserve, and an aircraft overview, let's dig into what daily operations look like. As a regional airline pilot, it's not uncommon to fly 4 or 5 short flights each day. When you arrive at an outstation you might just have 20-30 minutes to deplane, program the next departure, postflight the aircraft, re-board, and depart on-time. It's called a "turn" and regardless of where you work, you'll be flying turns all the time!
While this video covers how we, as pilots, prepare the cockpit, there are so many people working simultaneously to get the airplane ready. I want to give credit to the awesome flight attendants, dispatchers, gate agents, ramp agents, caterers, cleaners, fuelers, and maintenance staff that we work with each day. It's amazing how we can turn airplanes in 20-30 minutes when everyone works as a team.

As I stated in your other posts, you are an excellent spokesman for your airline. Management must know this. I can see you being an instructor in no time.
You gotta be an instructor before an airline pilot (usually), thats how most people build the 1500 required hours for the airlines
Totally Agree with you! AA and Envoy should be proud of such an Engaged Employee. Tremendous for the Brand.

You probably mean, ׳Captain’.
Like Marko said, you would need to be an instructor for a few years to build up your hours, before you can join an airline training programme.
Marko Crnkovic wow..1500 hours is a lot. In New Zealand to fly regional for air New Zealand, you only need 500 total hours
You could probably go to one of the Asian airlines and go directly to a Boeing or Airbus as a first officer. Advancement is mostly likely much quicker and the pay is way better. With his current experience, he could apply. I know they are desperate for experienced and lower time pilots in Asia. And the pay is better than the American Flag carriers.
Awesome job showcasing what its like to be an airline pilot!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one Steve! See you at Oshkosh this summer
I'm a gate agent at an out-station that gets Envoy E145s. It's cool to see the pilot's side of the process, since for us the quick turn is pretty much everything.
I hope Envoy understands what a powerful recruiting tool Swayne’s videos are. I’m a CFI building time currently, and I’ve already looked at Envoy a bit. Swayne gives an incredible real world experience and personality to being a first officer for what appears to be a super solid regional. Thank you Swayne and safe flying
Did you get a job there? How was it?
It made me smile to hear you mention those of us in the ENY dispatch department. Thank you very much.
Derpanzerkonig Gaming Of course! Planning to do a full video on scheduling and dispatch someday
@@SwayneMartinPilot awesome. You should come sit with us one day and see how we deal with the 45+ flights a shift. Look forward to seeing you on my releases. :)
Swayne, this is one of the most informative aviation videos I've seen on TH-cam. You did a great job packing a lot of information into a few minutes.
And I'm happy to see Envoy is supporting this; it seems to be much harder for US pilots to create such content than for your overseas peers.
Looking forward to seeing more of these videos. Safe landings!

Thanks Martin! I really appreciate that... Hope it helps people out!
I'm a fueler at BDL in CT. Some of the turn times company planes have is crazy! Sometimes I will literally pull on the gate just as the plane gets there, take about 6 or 7 minutes to fuel it, then I'll see the plane ready for departure by the time I'm guided off the plane. PSA loves doing that. The only Envoy we get at BDL are the 175's. Every now and then we will get an Envoy 135/140 that diverts from LGA or something.
This is awesome, keep it up.
Agree with previous comments. The quality of these videos is off the charts! Very informative and education. Keep ‘em up Swayne!
It’s always a pleasure to see your videos
That was awesome man, thanks for uploading it. All really well explained. Stay safe 👍
This guy was born to be a pilot, its natural, no effort whatsoever.
This is by far the best informational video regarding these kind of procedures.
I work as a ramp agent for piedmont airlines at ORF(Norfolk, VA) and let me tell you these 25min turn are no joke, I have worked with a couple short turns and boy am I exhausted because you have to move Fast, Marshall the plane in, chock the tires, get the bags off the plane, take the Valets up to the Jetbridge, then put the outgoing bags on to the plane no matter if it's 20 or 50 bags, and do it within 20mins to make sure the plane leaves ON TIME.
Congratulations you are living your dream! That’s awesome.....keep smiling.
Appreciate it Barry!
I will be an airline Pilot because of you. Absolutely love your vids! You are such an inspiration, thank you!
Zeleathos I’m glad! Thank you!
That’s amazing how you remember to do all those things
I work as a fueler for in Salt Lake City, I’m going to school working on my commercial license, can’t wait to join you in the airline business.
As a fueler we always appreciate it when the flight crew thanks us!
Nice Embraer! I work on 145s for a regional. Lovely plane, but it has a bad habit of failing certain systems if the pilots try to powerup too fast, deviating from the check list.
The biggest offender is turning on the APU bleed too soon after starting the APU.
Tip for pilots: Let it warm up before attempting an engine start. We don't like having to haul out the huffer because the pilot tried to start an engine seconds after the APU hit 100%. And PLEASE be patient when aligning the AHRS. It is very fussy on these jets. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast!
Your videos are great. I have always wanted to be a pilot but you have really inspired me. Keep up the great work
Thanks Jack!
Great video Swayne! This content is definitely helping me prepare mentally for when I get to the regionals! Thank you so much and keep it coming!
Awesome! I'm glad it helps
Again, these are awesome videos for people who get anxious about flying (especially ones like me who almost always fly on these exact aircraft). Thanks for making these!
Very well put together video! I want to become an A320 pilot one day :)
Nice video Swayne keep up the good work. Can’t wait to fly with you soon. You seem like a first officer every captain here at envoy wants to fly with.
Andrew Walker Thanks Andrew! Hope to fly with you sometime man!
Loved the great outro sequence!! As for future videos I’d recommend perhaps doing videos on the other roles in Envoy such as the flight attendants or perhaps flight dispatch or crew scheduling
TailsThe2TailedFox planning to!
Youre the reason why I decided to pursue my dream of flying Swayne! Getting my private then off to ATP!
Awesome! Keep up the hard work man
Wow that was a good topic, at my airline we have 25 minute turns, it's sometimes a rush. Best turn were ever had was in Rochester to Clt. We were on fire that day and pax were also. From break set to break release and pushback, 18 minutes. Phew. What a job. Hope you fly safe. Keep up the good videos. Hope ta meet you someday soon.
That's always a good feeling! We had a similar one a few days ago in Madison
It is always a rush when you turn the aircraft in less than the allotted turn time. My personal best is 1 minute (the airline schedules 10 minutes for an outstation turn and turns are typically done in about 5-8 minutes) but we deplaned no passengers, boarded no passengers and did not refuel. We needed the 1 minute to review and sign the dispatch release, complete the weight and balance and calculate takeoff performance, and do the postflight walkaround.
@@SwayneMartinPilot One day when I have a overnight in ord, and our schedule meet up, I'll have to meet up and grab some good grub.
Good public speaker, it's nice to hear someone speaking clearly and concise, with no uhhhhhhmmm, uhhhhhhh!!! Much more fun for the listeners for sure
Great video as always man. As a captain over on the Republic side it’s nice to see top notch crew members at other airlines. We deadhead and commute on each other so knowing we are all safe and sound on one another’s respective regionals and codeshares I think is vital. And I’m glad you have that mentality about captains. Some of them just sit there but I know I’m working quite a bit to check notams and weather and Mx items constantly especially on days when we have 3+ plane swaps, and having an FO who picks up the programming and airplane prep side of things when you have 25-90s and MELs galore to have to look through and make sure are properly signed, placarded, and within expiration dates, on top of all the other variables of the airport is a god send...Keep it up bud!
Man when I worked as a ramp lead at a major airline, turning planes around in 30-45 minutes was tough. Especially the 737-800s that came in with 200 bags and 100 PCS of cargo, had to load 160 bags back on all within 30-45 minutes which was tough.
I still remember the day we had a massive shortage of workers on shift I think it was about 10 of us total for 4 flights an hour. I was on a flight with me and one other guy loading a 737-800 and we were way past departure time, the captain came down to the ramp and asked what the hold up was. I filled him in on what was going down and he actually jumped into the pit of the aircraft and was helping toss bags. That was the only time I ever seen a pilot doing a baggage handlers work, needless to say we got him out ASAP. I'll never forget that captain.
I’m 15 and I’ve already started my flight lessons!
Congrats!
I was 13 when I started
that's impressive! I work at Perth T1 (AUS) on an airline operating 3 flights per day to Denpasar (as well as other destinations), always on an A320, passenger load of usually between 140-180 (capacity is 180). From "on chocks" to "off chocks" we have only 30 minutes to deplane all 140-180 passengers and their bags and board a similar amount. flights are generally pretty full and when one thing goes wrong, it is often hard to remain on-time. It's crazy how intricate and detailed every flight is before it even gets off the ground
As a cabin crew for a major airline these videos are really interesting. Thank you so much for putting this value out there for free.
These are really interesting for someone to watch who isn't trying to become a pilot! It is helpful for nervous flyers, just to understand just how much is going on behind the scenes to not only keep us safe, but to keep everything moving.
I love your videos Swayne... it seems like you’re becoming a celebrity there at envoy. I recently just met Andy La Susa with a group of students and we had a full 20 min conversation about you😂😂
That's awesome! Thanks Tommy
I definitely used to rag on your videos when you were at Mokulele, but this new series has been super helpful to someone going into a regional within a year. Thanks, keep it up!
Thanks Jose - Glad you find 'em helpful
@@SwayneMartinPilot High praise indeed.
Great to see the flight attendants faces too.
I flew the 145 for five years. Loved the airplane. Hated the cockpit seats. We routinely wrote them up for being hard as a rock.
William Potts It’s hit or miss for sure!
Swayne Martin You’re a skinny guy. It’s probably more forgiving 😝
Been watching your videos for over 3 years back in highschool and just decided to go for flight traning. Now i’m a A321 line tranning FO, respect for good work, it’s really motivated me throughout my training!
Swayne! Military aviator here. Great job man. I'm looking at airlines as a possible option when I get back from this deployment. Found your vids. Impressive stuff man. You are quite accomplished.
You taught me a lot of facts that I never even knew of. Thank you for these videos, I know you put a lot of effort into them.
What part of this bullshit did you not already know ?
Tim Watson haha
One word WOW!
Glad you liked it!
Keep these videos coming Swayne! I start with Envoy in August and the more you teach me the better!
Thanks Aaron!
Great video.I was an airliner mechanic.Now I,m a helicopter pilot.Feel so familiar to see that!
I just continued to watch this video due to your extraordinary presentation skills. amazing.
6:26 have said this myself countless times. We take flying for granted (well, not me, I love everything that goes into it :)
I always find these videos to be very informative. It is good that you have kept up with the channel when you can.
I’ve been traveling between Chicago and Columbus so many times in American. Might’ve flown with you before.
You are such a clear communicator that it is great fun and very educational to watch your videos. Keep up the good work - Kudos!
Great work, Swayne.
Thanks Davis!
First time viewer from Chicago. Awesome to see this filmed at Ohare. Great video as others have said. Subbed 👍
Really great video, Swayne - tons of interesting information, presented seamlessly.
Hypnotherapy conversations with Paul Garth, C.Ht. Thank You!
The best pilot 👨✈️ TH-camr 🌹
I work in the AA ramp tower at O'Hare... if you are departing a Golf gate in the Hotel Alley or Lima gate in the Kilo Alley there is a chance I will be the one giving you pushback clearance ;)
Fascinating stuff! Hope to fly with you one day :)
FIRST!!! Also great video as always Swayne. Was wondering if you were gonna upload this weekend.
I’m literally soo inspired by you! I really want to be a pilot 👩🏻✈️
Good! Keep up the hard work
Your awesome you have inspired me and I’m working on getting my pilots license and I’m only 14
This dude is ASMR for aviation people
1 fun fact
I found your channel today,
I subscribe you today,
And I watch your new video today.
P/s i really love your videos...as i say my dream to be a pilot never dissapear from my mind
🙂🙂🙂
Good videos man. They help prepare for what to expect.
Your vids are better than most company prduced trng vids Great work ✌🏻
Extremely well done! I used to work for a Regional on Ground Crew. One of us would also perform a cursory Walk around just to put a 2nd set of eyes 😹👀👁️ on it! I remember the 25 minute turns,! The start #1's, and the Salute! Good on you Mate!
Almost at 100k! You ready for a play button bro?
On your way to 100k!!! Well deserved!
Your blogs is really cool, when i wanna became pilot too, high quality and music!
LOVE these videos Swayne! Please, keep them up, you are doing great!
Will do!
Hello Swayne, congratulations for these great videos! Salutations from Brazil!
AA and Envoy should be proud of such an Engaged Employee. Tremendous for the Brand. This is what makes a business run and attracts more Happy Customers. CEO, Mr. Parker, should be sending a lot of stock options Swayne's way.
Glad you enjoy the videos Michael!
I wish you can be a pilot that can fly with always. I feel safe flying with pilot so detailed like you.
I love aviation and you are one of the people who makes it great.
Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to post these videos. They are informative and much appreciated!
Swayne, you have the best videos. Thanks to the great partnership you have with Envoy and your great flight crew.
Always the best videos! Even working with a part 135 operator, it takes me 25 minute turnarounds
Your so professional. 👏 You go
Great professional video Swayne. I assumed you could file all of your legs before the day started with ATC. Received my SEL back in 1988 while working shift work on a career City Fire Department.
Excellent video Swayne. Gives great insight as to the crew’s responsibilities while we are busy doing our thing. I’ll recommend this to all of our agents.
-from an MQ ramper/agent at CWA.
Thank you!
This is crazy I’ve been watching you since you were just flying girls around now you’re a big time pilot that’s crazy
Remember Folks! If there's FOD On The Ramp, There's Blood On The Dance Floor! Great video, as always Swayne! Stay Safe!
Your awesome man! Your video quality is AMAZING!!
Keep up the work man! 👍🤚
I always wanted to be a pilot! Your videos were so inspiring 🙌🙌
Love these videos. Always so well presented
Excellent video
Dude your videos are incredibly informational. These are def helpful to learn how things REALLY WORK.
Excellent video Swayne. About to upgrade to the ERJ from my little CJ/Citation II. Any tips?
Are you going from a corporate job into airlines, or still corporate?
@@andytaylor1588 Still corporate. Operate like an airline, but operate 135. Anxious making the move to such a big airplane, but folks do it frequently I suppose.
Hmm honestly if you're coming from a CJ then I think you'll be fine. I had a CJ type before I did ERJ training and having that background helped a lot. When you start training, focus on: memory items, limitations, flows, and profiles.
@@SwayneMartinPilot Thanks Swayne. I think adjusting to the airplane will be much easier having been in jets before, but just anxious about the ground. Look forward to it though. Really appreciate the insight on the airlines, really helped me.
Again......a "First-Class" presentation!
Thanks for sharing ! Living the dream 👍🏻
And this is why I want to be a pilot!
Wow, this is a well put-together video
You're doing great Swayne!!! Great speaking. Great videos. Great information. Thank you!
Thanks William!
Interesting video
this is awesome, really cool to hear what being a airline pilot is really like. it’s been a dream job for many many years and hope to start taking the sky’s soon!
Love your channel man, i love aviation i just dont know where to get started... So many different roles in an airport
Good Ole "quick turns" #ramplife
Hey on FSX I can turn around a 737-800 with 133 passengers and 12k in cargo in 20 minutes flat. 27 if I have to wait on the deicing crew and sky chef animations.
FlyboythaACE wish we had that lmao emoji
This series of videos is truly amazing. Very thoughtfully produced. Thanks for sharing your experience as a pilot.
Cool video. Thank you
Great editing! Liked and subbed
Great Job man! Keep it Up!
Another banging video Swayne, enjoyed it. :)
Wow all that times in the past when your in hawaii and driving a small cesena now a kind of jet thats a real future for you dude you followed your dreams :D
