You Sir are a LIVING Encyclopedia of Aviation. Almost every conceivable question/topic can be found here. Your channel is an indispensable resource for pilots, aspiring pilots and for those who want to research the field of commercial aviation.
Thank you so much for these videos. They really do help me in my decision on becoming an airline pilot. Again thank you and have a nice rest of you day.
nice video. you forgot to tell the guys that the type rating its refreshing at 1 year, and if you do the type rating on your own and you will not be able to fiind a job in this time you will need to spend again some money to keep the type rating on the license. so one in a year you need to go with the instructor at the simulators and refresh you emergency procedures etc. i`ve been watching all your videos. Good luck
Good insight on type rating, i remember having a question about it. I will like to know if u can stop making amazing videos. U're Way up there, thumps up, KEEP UP. 1.what about a video on TOTAL POWER LOSS at maybe takeoff, climb,cruise,descend and approach. 2. GS, VOR, DME... etc 3.Instrument Rating THANKS
In the Kitchen, that's awesome! you know what you are doing is just too cool to help us, thank you. Hey could you make a Video about starting your own small airline? it may sound crazy but believe it's an interesting topic, going from operating cost, type of aircrafts...so on. I'd really REALLY appreciate it.
Hello. Great video! I am against paying for your own typerating even if I did it myself. On the other hand I wouldn`t have been hired without my rating...
In my company, a Boeing 737 copliot can trans to A330, after gaining up to 2 to 3 thousand hours then comeback to 737 to begin captain releasing procedure
Hello Mentour and everyone else. If you want the complete list of typeratings and endorsment list from EASA, you can google "easa type rating endorsement list", open the top link and open "List of Aeroplanes - Class and Type Ratings and Endorsement List". In there you'll ffind every single rating and what aircraft & series you may fly. (Like you can fly B763 with an 757 rating if you get diff training) Happy landings!
Hi Mentour! First of all, thank you for all your amazing videos, they do answer on lots of my questions. There is one question I am still wondering about. When it comes to applying for a job in an airline, what would be considered as most important? Being 24 years old as a high school graduate, or a 27 year old with a bachelor degree in Industry technology (Ventilation, cooling, automation and general engine knowledge). The reason why I am asking this question is, that I am currently studying in the Copenhagen school of marine and technology management, and have been doing this the past two years, but I still have two and a half years left. But I am seriously considering dropping out of college, and begin in an aviation school in Iceland, which takes around one and a half year. I hope you can help me out, as I am not sure what to do. Thank you! Adam
Do typeratings expire? Say you start out as a fresh FO on a A 320, then move on to flying 747s and then upgrade and fly the A 320 again as a captain. Would you have to redo the TR?
A year ago, I would also have advised against buying a type rating. Recently, though, some airlines (such as Wizzair and Thomas Cook) have advertised for type rated pilots with zero hours on type.
+Mentour Pilot wizz air cand take you with 300 hours with no type-rating, and it can take you with type rating also with low hours... but this is on a papers and on the website, in reality we dont know.
i heard type rating is mandatory for planes that are heavier than 12000 lbs. What if the airline also operate aircrafts that don't need type rating? for example. PC-12, some smaller king airs (the king air 350 needs rating), or anything. Is it allowed to fly multiple planes? for example a person is flying for X Airline, and he is rated on 737-800, and the airline also operate Pilatus PC-12 that doesn't need type rating. Is he also allowed to fly the PC-12?
Great video, great info thanks for consistently keeping it up over the years. With this being 4 years later and with more airlines taking on people who have paid for their rating.Would you say it has changed at all? I have seen airlines like Avion Air hiring now and Royal Air Maroc taking doing the same.
Hey mentour pilot! Here's a good one. What type of a personality set should a student pilot start building,to eventually become an airline pilot? And I am speaking strictly about personality and not anything related to training. Thank you :)
Oh! Wow!!! what a fast reply!!!! Thanks a lot !!! Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such a fast reply! Thank you !!!!! And do keep up the excellent work that you are doing, Sir... for through your podcasts we are living our dreams!!!! Wish you a lifetime of happy landings!!!
sir do we really need TR for jobs , likewise i have money only for cpl but i might not be able to spend money for TR , so can i do cpl and apply job or TR is mandatory for job ?
Hi Mentour, I hope you have a great day.. Happy New Year to you and to your Family. I'm 44 years old turning 45 this year and I'm planning my flight training for months now. Could you please advise me where to start and what should I prepare for? Thank you for your time👍
Hi Mentour, as always your podcasts are very usefull for me, and i really appreciate you and your job. One thing i want you to ask, why dont you tell as a little bit about studying pilot traning proggrame? I mean can you tell about subjects that we have to study in order to get LICENCE? How difficult are they and whichs are specially important to be studied well? Will be waiting for soonest reply.
I'm doing the ATPL at the moment. We have 14 Subjects and I may say (obviously) that they're all important. The bigger ones may be Navigation (not including radionavigation), Meteorology and Air Laws. You may learn a lot of things, even in your general such as keeping good habits and a good hygiene, understand how radio signals work etc. The best thing to do would be: 1- Going on a website with ATPL Courses just to have a look and know what's waiting you. 2- Always keep your motivation to increase your performances. You know the reason why you are attending these courses! And that brings you to the practical part then! I hope that I partially answered your question ;)
Hi Mentour Pilot, I have another question to ask. Another great video by the way! If you go to a flight school that only teaches you to fly, for example, a boeing 737 will you be aloud to fly different planes like an airbus a320?
Yes difinitely. You first learn the basics of all aircrafts like how to use elevators/rudders and ailerons also engine monitering. if you change to another aircraft you would recognise these things easily and there won't be a major difference. because pilots when they first get hired by the airline they fly the little planes e.g. B737 & A320, overtime and experiance (hours in the air) you gey hired to fly a bigger plane e.g. A330/A340 & 747 777.
How can an aircraft maintenance technician get this system course/type rating for 737 What does it mean to do a basic type rating for 737 system course?
I have one question if a plane comes in at an angle to the runaway how do they correct this? Do they use the rudder or just make sure they come in head on everytime?
+Akshay Jalakanta no one will take you on a 777 with 250 hours. so in aviation is good to attack the piramid from the bottom. so.... turboprops, narrow body and after wide body.
i have a question if i paying for my type rating on a 737-900 will i get a job in todays market ? if so if i will be flying will i be able to stay for a day and get back from the returning flight..
Hi,im Davide , if my target is to become a pilot of a big Airline company,like Fed ex or Emirates,do i need a university degree? If yes which would be more useful?
Do you think it's possible to have a typerating for both the A330 and A340 and be able to fly both at the same time, well not at the same time but I think you get what I mean? I just guessing that you're from Sweden so if you are you can answer in Swedish because then I'll understand better.
Hello guys, I'm here to ask for your opinions. Is it harder to qualify and get a pilot license or getting a teaching degree and teach at a primary or secondary school? If that makes sense.
Completely depends school to school, and the type of course and what country. In the UK for an ATPL with a major school your looking at £90k ish and for an MPL £110k
+Stephen Reddin Yeah, what I meant was that was for most airlines but if you are taller you can go to an open day and see if the chair is comfortable for you and if so then you can apply to that flight school.
Buy a typerating for a young pilot is just a lost of money, whatever says the company which provide the lessons for TR, it's a kind of scam : never never buy a TR if you are not sure to get employed, NEVER

I'm sure the profession has a lot of great day. But can you make a video how a "terrible" day at work is like?
+Mentour Pilot oh ya, its an interesting topic
+Mentour Pilot Agreed, would be an interesting topic.
Awesome content as always. Keep up, Sir.
Thanks for making these videos! You explain it in depth and extremely clear. Keep up the videos!

Can you do a day of a pilot video?
He has already done one
I was the 757th liker. I love Boeing 757s! And next up on Cooking With Mentour...
Hello. Great video! I am against paying for your own typerating even if I did it myself. On the other hand I wouldn`t have been hired without my rating...
Hi MenTour
Thanks for the video. I have mailed you specific questions on type rating.
Yes I got the answer. Thanks
+Mentour Pilot Hi again
I have mailed a couple more questions.
Thanks in advance

Hi Adam, so, where are you now? a pilot or in marine and technology management..
it has been 3 years.
Do typeratings expire?
Say you start out as a fresh FO on a A 320, then move on to flying 747s and then upgrade and fly the A 320 again as a captain. Would you have to redo the TR?
Can you do a video class rating and Type rating on ppl side ???
A year ago, I would also have advised against buying a type rating. Recently, though, some airlines (such as Wizzair and Thomas Cook) have advertised for type rated pilots with zero hours on type.
+Mentour Pilot wizz air cand take you with 300 hours with no type-rating, and it can take you with type rating also with low hours... but this is on a papers and on the website, in reality we dont know.
Really?
I’ve applied for Wizz low hour non type rated position and never heard anything back
@@richarddastardly6845 how is your aviation journey going now?
@@chrxnic_vxnity9900 - It’s come to an end now, I’ve given up searching after 10yrs of trying…

Like the videos a lot. I know you don't want to say who you work for. May I ask what country you're based in however?
Great video, great info thanks for consistently keeping it up over the years.

I have seen airlines like Avion Air hiring now and Royal Air Maroc taking doing the same.
Thanks a lot sir.. For what you are sharing with us... I would like to know the differences between Boeing and AirBus please
Sir is that possible to get job only with CPL
You say "usually" need ATPL theory as well, I am interested to know when this is not the case?
Hey mentour pilot! Here's a good one.
What type of a personality set should a student pilot start building,to eventually become an airline pilot?
And I am speaking strictly about personality and not anything related to training.
Thank you :)
So for example if you work if you work for Emirates and you operate the Airbus A380 thats the only plane in their fleet you will be able to fly ?
Exactly
Hi Mentour, this may sound like a stupid question. Do you recognise some of the people who comment regularly on your videos, like me?
So, while taking the initial CPL, isn't the person automatically type rated on the aircraft he doing his CPL on? For eg Cessna 172 or diamond da 40?
Yes, but typeratings are only really needed on larger aircraft. Smaller aircraft just needs a familiarisation course.
Oh! Wow!!! what a fast reply!!!! Thanks a lot !!! Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such a fast reply! Thank you !!!!! And do keep up the excellent work that you are doing, Sir... for through your podcasts we are living our dreams!!!!

Mentour what's your experiance in flight hours. (How many hours did you fly in the air?)
Sometimes I play Euro millions, if I win I can go buy a type rating and some line training so that hopefully I can get a job one day 😇😎🤞
Hi Mentour, as always your podcasts are very usefull for me, and i really appreciate you and your job.

How difficult are they and whichs are specially important to be studied well? Will be waiting for soonest reply.
I'm doing the ATPL at the moment. We have 14 Subjects and I may say (obviously) that they're all important.
The bigger ones may be Navigation (not including radionavigation), Meteorology and Air Laws. You may learn a lot of things, even in your general such as keeping good habits and a good hygiene, understand how radio signals work etc.
The best thing to do would be:
1- Going on a website with ATPL Courses just to have a look and know what's waiting you.

Hi Mentour Pilot,
I have another question to ask. Another great video by the way!
If you go to a flight school that only teaches you to fly, for example, a boeing 737
will you be aloud to fly different planes like an airbus a320?
Yes difinitely. You first learn the basics of all aircrafts like how to use elevators/rudders and ailerons also engine monitering. if you change to another aircraft you would recognise these things easily and there won't be a major difference. because pilots when they first get hired by the airline they fly the little planes e.g. B737 & A320, overtime and experiance (hours in the air) you gey hired to fly a bigger plane e.g. A330/A340 & 747 777.
How can an aircraft maintenance technician get this system course/type rating for 737
What does it mean to do a basic type rating for 737 system course?
if you are a captain and you do a type rating for a new aircraft will you become a first officer?
Will the specific airline pay for you the TR or you will have to pay it?
Can I then safely say that an experienced pilot who has worked for several airlines may have several typratings?
I have one question if a plane comes in at an angle to the runaway how do they correct this? Do they use the rudder or just make sure they come in head on everytime?
So only if its a crosswind you use the rudder, not in any other circumstances?
Hi mentour what is the policy on e cigarettes I don't use them myself but I'm just curious
prohibited for the same reasons real cig
cooking, did not expect this xD
SAS anställer flera nya FO? Vad vet du om det? Tycker du att man ska satsa på pilotyrket?
+abdullahi raabi Great. No specific flight time requirements exist www.sasgroup.net/en/qualification-requirements/
Procedural cooking with chef Mentours.
Give me the grease fire memory items.
what if a 44 year old person wants to make a career change and become a pilot? what are the chances of getting a job in an airline?
More cooking? Chicken today? I approve!
Do it!
Would u prefer a long haul or short haul type A/C rating
+Akshay Jalakanta no one will take you on a 777 with 250 hours. so in aviation is good to attack the piramid from the bottom. so.... turboprops, narrow body and after wide body.
So after going to an aviation academy which costs £90k ish you have to pay £15k+ for the TR?
could you become a first officer without having to buy a type rating
Ali Mans -Yes it’s possible
I have a question, would you have 2 separate typeratings for the 737-700 and 737-800?
Thomas V-P -No. There is differences training between classic and NG
can a newcomer pilot fly directly on international routes or has to frist fly on domestic routes
hey mentour do u have any degree? do i need a university degree to get employed for an airline in canada? thanks in advance
Air Canada?
really good videos! Question: what is a good way (good job) to gain hours four your 1500 hours needed for atp?:)
+Mentour Pilot thanks so much! your videos have been a real help!
i have a question if i paying for my type rating on a 737-900 will i get a job in todays market ? if so if i will be flying will i be able to stay for a day and get back from the returning flight..
Carolina?
Hello mentour. Can a pilot with A320 type rating also fly the A350 or A330? Last i heard that a350 nd a330 type ratings have been combined
+Sahitya Mangalampalli Hi! I’m not sure to be honest. I’m not rated on any of them.
+Sahitya Mangalampalli Hi! I’m not sure to be honest. I’m not rated on any of them.
Hi can you fly a 737 upside down if you need to get out of a stall or spin? Would passengers stay in their seats?
Hi,im Davide , if my target is to become a pilot of a big Airline company,like Fed ex or Emirates,do i need a university degree? If yes which would be more useful?
What is the difference of a ATP and CPL license?
He made a video about this.
What if i we have around 2000 hours, but not on the type, then Is it logical to get the type rating??
What is the cost of mcc course
Do you think it's possible to have a typerating for both the A330 and A340 and be able to fly both at the same time, well not at the same time but I think you get what I mean?
I just guessing that you're from Sweden so if you are you can answer in Swedish because then I'll understand better.
+Mentour Pilot Vad bra, tack för att du svarade :)
ericen_15 yes it is called a common type rating
how can n1 be over 100%? Whenever a question comes to my mind, I ask you, so don't wonder if it hasn't to do anythink with the topic in your video :D
+Mentour Pilot ok, so it doen't damage the engine if it runs on 102% for take off?
Hello guys, I'm here to ask for your opinions. Is it harder to qualify and get a pilot license or getting a teaching degree and teach at a primary or secondary school? If that makes sense.
How much do you pay for the flight school?
+Mentour Pilot what happens if you fail the flight school do you have to pay agin
Completely depends school to school, and the type of course and what country. In the UK for an ATPL with a major school your looking at £90k ish and for an MPL £110k
Are there any height restrictions for one to become a pilot?
The tallest is roughly 6ft 3in for ergonomic reasons
Whats the minimum height for becoming a pilot? Or flying a wide-body aircraft?
+Akib Hossain the minimum height is 158 cm for ergonomic purposes
+Extreme Facts a friend of mine who in training alongside is 6'6 and no troubles have arisen
+Stephen Reddin Yeah, what I meant was that was for most airlines but if you are taller you can go to an open day and see if the chair is comfortable for you and if so then you can apply to that flight school.
what is the minimum expense in typyrating
25K euros
I'm from India and it's night 8:07 PM, dated 17-09-2019.
Sorry i meant for boeing 737
How do you keep track of your flight hours is it just on takeoff and landing and not with autopilot on ?
+Mentour Pilot thank you
When there's a problem on board a Chinese plane, do they call "Wok Wok Wok" on the radio?
Buy a typerating for a young pilot is just a lost of money, whatever says the company which provide the lessons for TR, it's a kind of scam : never never buy a TR if you are not sure to get employed, NEVER
