The interesting thing with the “trim switch” is it’s split in half. One half controls the stab trim motor and the other half releases the “brake”. And you can operate one half from one yoke and the other half from opposite yoke as they are in parallel. Great vid!
my favorite part is those numbers you turn to use as a memory reminder, never thought it would be used for such a simple thing as a reminder, pretty cool
Must be nice having a Channel where there is no end to the videos you can make. To bad your Company dosent just let you show us anything you want. Would be nice to see behind the scenes. Like interview baggage handlers, people who fuel the jet, ect,ect. Takes alot more then a Pilot to keep it all going. Since you explain things so well, this would be nice. Great Video, as normal.
Thanks dear.Very good style to teach some one. Really I understand every thing which you told in this video. I am Kamran from PAKISTAN. I am not a young person , I am 56 years old person , I have capability to learn these type things in very short time. Over all your style is very Good.I like it. Thanks.
Hello Captain. Thank you so much for this video. I always tried to understand the difference between the Boeing Yoke and the Airbus Side Stick. This was truly helpful. Congratulations once again for the TH-cam Silver Button. It's truly a massive achievement. Liked😀👌👍
As a 737 fan, this is just the best page I have come across that covers all I need to know in detail, yet simple terms. Great job! All the way from Kenya.
I have learned more about aviation In the last 6 months by watching Mentour pilot than 30 years of reading books and 10 years of normal internet. Thank you !!
I love Boeing, why? I don't like the joystick on Airbus and like the yoke on Boeing is amazing! My dream is to be a pilot! I like Airbus a bit cause of more leg room for pilots, but harder to steer Airbus joystick, but I like the Airbus tray tables for pilots, I don't know what plane i like more, Airbus or Boeing!?
Skaiste Gustaityte Airbus is easier to steer. You need to use 2 hand for being and 1 for Airbus. That way the pilots on Airbus can use the side stick and engines at the same time. Plus, Boeing Aircraft aren’t as reliable.
Love your videos! When I was a flight student 20 years ago I was lucky enough to have a flight instructor like you. However, my flight instructor was a retired Lufthansa captain (Heinz Göldner - may he rest in peace) who was a captain for aircrafts starting with the Super Constellation up to the 747. It is great to have a mentor. I admire your work. And by the way, your cheerful and friendly attitude is awesome :-)
The podcasts that you make are easy to understand,fun and in simple language and also i love the way you speak!!! I love your podcasts sir!!!!!!Keep it up sir!!!!!!!
Hello capitán I'm a pilot in Colombia (South America) and I Watching all your amazing videos about aviation , everyday I get more knowledge about aviation because of you. Thank you very much for take time to make the videos and share with everyone. Hector
The videos in the real cockpit are the best. It reminds you that you are learning about the real thing. It feels like everything is “simulator only” but not here
Hello mentour, can you please give information about ice detectors and other probes, their functions and the vital roes they play! I really love watching your videos as they are a great source of knowledge! Thank you for everything!❤
Another reason for dual trim switches, in addition to what you stated, is to prevent a single switch fault from causing a runaway stabilizer trim. Something that modern day Boeing engineers completely looked over when they allowed their MCAS design to have singular control of the stabilizer trim without a backup logic to prevent a single failure (stall vane for example... Ethiopia🤗) I might also mention, that when the A/P is engaged, and sufficient fore is applied to either yoke pitch or roll axis, that the A/P reverts to Control Wheel Steering (CWS). In my opinion a dangerous oversight as this happens without the A/P siren and is only noticed, not heard. Something that in training and line operations needs to be more discussed as a threat. I have accidentally done this personally a handful of times in 15 years flying it. So infrequent, but real. Love your videos! Love to see you do one on Vnav. Discuss path vs speed, speed override, programmed speeds and restrictions, idle path vs gradient, etc. maybe beyond the casual viewer. Hard to say.
Thanks for sharing Mentour. Impressive to watch.. Something you can control in split seconds .. I learnt something today.. I always sit up front & always wondered what that alarm sound was when landing.. Auto pilot disengage... They should change that noise...sounds like a dive, dive dive call.. We can here it up front.. Scary.. Ding dong..would be allot less intimidating to hear.. Great work & thanks for sharing.
Love your videos bro... Your blessings... Your contribution in building more pilots , is Patriotic on world scale..wishing for long life and good health for you , and family ... PEACE BE WITH YOU .GOD BLESS U
I hate to correct one of your great videos, but... The reason why the trim is split in two is to make it less likely to get a trim runaway. You can test that each side does not work by themselves, and in doing that you know that if one side were to ground, you wouldn't have a trim runaway because the other side isn't.
The dual trim switch disconnects both sides of the manual trim motor. As already mentioned it allows stopping the manual trim motor in case one of the dual switch sections shorts Regarding the event of un-commanded manual trim motor operation there is a guarded stab trim main elect cutout switch on the throttle quadrant With respect to the autopilot trim, the autopilot monitors the manual trim motor and disconnects the autopilot with any manual trim motor operation. If the autopilot trim has un-commanded operation there is also a guarded stab trim autopilot cutout switch on the throttle quadrant
I'm wondering; The trimwheels, are they connected to anything driven by something to do with the actual trim setting, or are they just an optical confirmation driven by a separate motor? Also, is the radio/mike switch always on the Yoke at commercial airliners?
The trim wheels are real trim wheels, mechanically coupled to the trim screw and working as manual controls if needed. He has an episode where he explains the trim controls nicely.
Yep the wheels are connected by a chain to a drum below the console. That drum is connected by a very long cable to a drum in the tail which turns the jack screw that moves the stabilizer up and down.
nice one. Interesting and informational as always. You got me at "side stick on the side... AAAAND the Boeing has a proper yoke, something to really hold on to". So true. Tactile feedback for the win!
Just wondering... If Airbus had an yoke instead, could it have prevented the 447 Air France Crash since the first officer kept pulling the sidestick while the PIC was not him? Could they notice this error if that action were noticeable as handling a yoke?
Congratulations for your videos! As usual, it a pleasure to discover the operational side of this amazing aeronautical world. There is no video that I don't learn something new. Thanks
Thanks! I'm a 3d animator working on a movie and used your video to properly setup a Yoke for animation. Anyways, figured you'd get a kick out of that. :)
After 15 years on the 737 i was happy to transfer to the airbus. Exactly because of the yoke. Face it, even on shorthaul flights we don't fly the airplane manually anyway, it is on autopilot most of the time. Much better to have a table instead to do your paperwork on, eat the company provided food (or the one you bring from home) or solve your sudokus. Funny enough, on the newer boeing airplanes like the 777 and the 787 the yoke is much much smaller than on the 737, for exactly that reason. It is in the way over 95% of the time.
The buttons I think are for the horizontal stabilizers to move up and down on the jack screw in the tail section as well as tilt up or down depending on what the pilot is wanting to do. There may be more just not sure what else. The yoke if you pull back will raise the nose of the plane in flight and push forward will nose down the aircraft.
Now I see that the trim switches are the reverse of what I thought. I was flying a 747 simulator one time and was having a terrible time trimming out my descent. I was trying to trim it out to keep from pulling on the yoke so much but I guess I overdid it. Getting close to the runway I started hearing "pull up!" and had to pull really hard on the yoke to flare.
+PietroSoft European dialects are different even if using the English letters and accents do kick in, it's okay. We had someone from Akzo group, (remember; Volkswagen is 'F'olkswagen), who would always (mis)pronounce our colleague Vijay'rangam as Fi-je-rangam (sounds: Phee Jey Run gum) (In India, we have such last names/ father's name) it was humourous back then when we first heard such differences (1993-97)
The seats have up/down adjustments and forwards/backwards adjustments. Also, the rudder pedals can be adjusted forwards/backwards. Of course, the adjustments have limitations. I'm 190cm, and it is difficult to find a perfect position on some aircraft. You may be ok.
Mentour Honestly you are the best TH-camr that I have ever seen can you explain about Autobrakes in a 737 ??? That will help me a Lot Anyways as Always I liked Thanks Petter :)
Thank you very much Mr Peter for telling the important information... I was really interested to know that about the primary functions of yoke.... And please give more information about other functions
Your commentaries are awesome. You explain different functions in terms that an aviation enthusiast can understand. I was wondering if you have done a video or would consider doing on intercepting the localizer and glide slope which you hear repetitively watching videos. Thanks again for your explicit videos!
Hej, Mentour! Retired US Air Force (non-aircrew) and recently discovered and have been binge-watching your excellent channel. Thanks for all the great info and insight into the life of a commercial pilot. As a future video idea, I'm curious about a complete novice taking control in an emergency and landing an airliner. I suppose the first thing one would need to know is how to make sure the autopilot is on. The second thing would be how to work the comms to declare a Mayday and get in contact with ATC. After that, what do you think? Is it plausible that a non-pilot could safely be talked through flying and landing a large commercial jet given all of the advanced technology aboard these days? Thanks.
Well, in my Citrabria, it's all "Stick & Rudder" PTT button on top of stick. That's about it. Once, just for fun, got two toilet-plungers, two bicycle grips, installed PTT buttons in the grips, and held "ground-school" simulator-session using two folding chairs in-tandem. Great fun, as we practiced in the FBO. The "observers" even provided engine sounds and radio-static, and pattern-calls, etc. THEN, the flight-school owner walked-in, and wasn't too happy we were having so much fun. Oh well!
It is connected to hydraulics, similar to how power steering works on your car. I don't think it would be possible to move the rudders only with muscle strength.
I just want to say thanks for sharing so many details on so many interesting aircraft topics! I’m not a pilot but I appreciate the generous giving of your time and expertise. I live near Boeing Field in the Seattle area and aviation is all around.
Stalls aren’t a big deal at all, and are (generally) easily recovered. Pilots are required to practice *inducing* and recovering from stalls during training and ongoing recurrency. Commercial airliners are put through exhaustive batteries of tests and maneuvers, including stalls and recovery performance; after certain intervals, repair events and /or major maintenance and overhaul. Obviously this isn’t accomplished during commercial operations, with passengers onboard.
+Nagarjuna N, in very exceptional cases there HAVE BEEN rejected takeoffs past V₁ but before rotation. if there is enough runaway left and in dire emergencies when the structural integrity of the ship would compromise towards worse or already some major issue has been noticed/ say engines burnout or landing gear issues. with smaller aircraft (say: Embraer ERJs or Bombardier) or those with lesser start and stop tiime lags; there HAVE been cases of rejected take offs just prior to rotation also *but that is mostly only when there is decisive loss of controls or such damage as would make the plane un-flyable.* all these discussions and thoughts really took ground after the Concorde incident!
Luckii YT I can't remember who, but on TH-cam, there is a video about that. It would be very difficult to even enter, let alone start large commercial aircraft without ground support.
There has been a 727 stolen I think it was back in 2003 and they never found it. There was also a guy that tried stealing a regional jet few years ago, I think he was an ex employee of the company he started it up and crashed into the terminal, there is a security video of him crashing it into the terminal here on TH-cam and there is also a video of the story about the 727 that was stolen and never found, try to search under "stolen 727" and "person tries stealing a plane" you should find both of the videos. If I find the title I will post it here. Edit: Found it the title is: "Missing jet airplane since 2003". Sorry I don't know how to copy and paste the link on my phone, but you have the title so you should find it easily.
Here is the title of the security video of the pilot trying to steal a plane: "Delta skywest plane crashed into terminal by crazed pilot". And here is the title for the news story: "Pilot steals plane at Utah airport".
In 2009, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean because both pilots in the cockpit had no idea that the other pilot was manipulating the side stick in the opposite directions when the airspeed indicator malfunctioned. The Airbus A330 eventually stalled and crashed into the ocean. This could never happen with the yoke because they don't work independently.
Kevin P • The idea of independent operation of the sidesticks just drives me bonkers. How there are not Airbus crashes daily, I don't know. I guess the communication between the professional pilots is superb and the left hand ALWAYS knows what the right hand us doing. The unfortunate 2009 accident is testament to when the idea fails, or when ego or some other issue or event gets in the way?
Could you please make a video on home flight sim, and how to use it effectively for aspiring/training pilots? Rather than recreationally I mean, like drills things to practice. I love your insights 😊

Which button fires the cannons?
That's optional equipment, and most of the time you have to order the new yoke.
I’ll cover that in next episode.
So there's no IDENT button on the yoke?
It's the one right next to the chemtrails button!
I'm more interested in which ones release the chem-trails!
Note: That's a joke, I'm not being serious. People who believe in chemtrails are morons.

Thank you! Great to hear that you liked it!
Not really better one or the other.
Well, in my Citrabria, it's all "Stick & Rudder" PTT button on top of stick. That's about it.
Once, just for fun, got two toilet-plungers, two bicycle grips, installed PTT buttons in the grips, and held "ground-school" simulator-session using two folding chairs in-tandem. Great fun, as we practiced in the FBO. The "observers" even provided engine sounds and radio-static, and pattern-calls, etc. THEN, the flight-school owner walked-in, and wasn't too happy we were having so much fun. Oh well!
Amazing, was waiting for this. Thank You Mentour.
You are more than welcome, there are much more videos to come!
Are there still actual mechanical links (steel cables / hydraulics ) on a Boeing / 737 Yoke?
Yes, the 737 is still mechanically connected to all the flight controls.
that would require a lot of man to control such a big plane right
It is connected to hydraulics, similar to how power steering works on your car. I don't think it would be possible to move the rudders only with muscle strength.
Great video thanks, I always wondered about the number counter on yoke, if it was for remembering flight numbers. Cool.
The Yoke: 'Am I a Joke to you?'
Did u get the am i a joke to you from swiss001? Lol
@@thedoeverything418 nah
Mentour: Jes
absolutely useful information as i travel frequently by planes and eager to learn flying....
Hi Mentour. I'd like to know how do you taxi at night. Do you use a GPS or a simple map?
We use normal paper (EFB) maps and looking outside.
A quarter mile at a time. Always with hopes and dreams.
I just want to say thanks for sharing so many details on so many interesting aircraft topics! I’m not a pilot but I appreciate the generous giving of your time and expertise. I live near Boeing Field in the Seattle area and aviation is all around.
Have you ever been in a stall situation mentour?
But in an airliner, in a Sim and during training, Yes.
Stalls aren’t a big deal at all, and are (generally) easily recovered. Pilots are required to practice *inducing* and recovering from stalls during training and ongoing recurrency.
Commercial airliners are put through exhaustive batteries of tests and maneuvers, including stalls and recovery performance; after certain intervals, repair events and /or major maintenance and overhaul.
Obviously this isn’t accomplished during commercial operations, with passengers onboard.
This video is absolutely fantastic! Thank you!
Fernando Alonso be like: "This is a yoke!"
Finally! I found someone who likes planes and F1!
Alonso: "Where are 747 and A380?"
Engineer: "Fernando they have been retired"
Alonso: *"KARMA"*
@@aslamnurfikri7640 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
More videos like this!! Very well explained thank you Montour Pilot
Have you heard that captain joe is getting an upgrade to B747?
Oh well, he is changing company, yes. If it’s an upgrade you will have to ask him about.
He is asking every day: "what is that damn thing i have in front of me?" "it's a yoke!" "stop joking me!!!"
Alessandro Moretti he is still searching for the table...
oseo943 because of the yoke in Boeing 738-700 engine failed and killed one person- the reason poor maintenance and cheap aircraft
Review Flying so there is a connection between yoke and engine failure... interesting point of View. Or... it’s a joke?
Thank you sir I think I had learnt something.. I'm doing Aviation course to work as ATC
I'm training to become a pilot, and I'm ten years old. Thank you
Many thanks for your explanations. It helps us a lot to understand the fascinating world of aviation. Really, thank you very much.
What happens if the engine stalls?
Check out my engine-fail videos in the Mentour Aviation app.
ATO bottles....
okay thank you :D
I love this, its soo clear and straight to the point. Thanks capt
Yoke: am I a joke to you?
Yoke: am I a yoke to you? *
Press the auto pilot disengage alarm sounds :-) Another great video
Wath is V1? Can u make a vid on that?
Nagarjuna N *when you pass it
+Nagarjuna N, in very exceptional cases there HAVE BEEN rejected takeoffs past V₁ but before rotation.
if there is enough runaway left and in dire emergencies when the structural integrity of the ship would compromise towards worse or already some major issue has been noticed/ say engines burnout or landing gear issues.
with smaller aircraft (say: Embraer ERJs or Bombardier) or those with lesser start and stop tiime lags; there HAVE been cases of rejected take offs just prior to rotation also
*but that is mostly only when there is decisive loss of controls or such damage as would make the plane un-flyable.*
all these discussions and thoughts really took ground after the Concorde incident!
Flying my single engine, four seater, with four pistons under the cowling, I always had to be at V1 before I start to think about rotating.
Ok. Now i know wath V1 is. Thx dude u are realy Nice!
If Vr
Great information as always!
ESS A YOOOOOOOOOOKE
Yes it is!
I have been very curious about these watching them being used, thanks for the video👍
Is it possible to steal a commercial aircraft?
Luckii YT I can't remember who, but on TH-cam, there is a video about that. It would be very difficult to even enter, let alone start large commercial aircraft without ground support.
There has been a 727 stolen I think it was back in 2003 and they never found it. There was also a guy that tried stealing a regional jet few years ago, I think he was an ex employee of the company he started it up and crashed into the terminal, there is a security video of him crashing it into the terminal here on TH-cam and there is also a video of the story about the 727 that was stolen and never found, try to search under "stolen 727" and "person tries stealing a plane" you should find both of the videos. If I find the title I will post it here.
Edit: Found it the title is: "Missing jet airplane since 2003". Sorry I don't know how to copy and paste the link on my phone, but you have the title so you should find it easily.
Here is the title of the security video of the pilot trying to steal a plane: "Delta skywest plane crashed into terminal by crazed pilot".
And here is the title for the news story: "Pilot steals plane at Utah airport".
Someone stole a Dash 8 recently
Fantastic Explanation sir
great, a yoke. i hate those modern sidesticks
I don't like how the Captain's sidestick and the Co-Pilot's sidestick work independently on Airbus. The yokes in Boeing aircrafts move in unison.
Yokes do seem much safer.
In 2009, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean because both pilots in the cockpit had no idea that the other pilot was manipulating the side stick in the opposite directions when the airspeed indicator malfunctioned. The Airbus A330 eventually stalled and crashed into the ocean. This could never happen with the yoke because they don't work independently.
Kevin P • The idea of independent operation of the sidesticks just drives me bonkers. How there are not Airbus crashes daily, I don't know. I guess the communication between the professional pilots is superb and the left hand ALWAYS knows what the right hand us doing. The unfortunate 2009 accident is testament to when the idea fails, or when ego or some other issue or event gets in the way?
Could you please make a video on home flight sim, and how to use it effectively for aspiring/training pilots? Rather than recreationally I mean, like drills things to practice. I love your insights 😊
