19 Surprising Things Pilots Do Onboard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2024
- There you are, at the airport, sitting in the departure lounge waiting for your flight. Then, you see them walk by in their crisp uniforms. Pilots - they’re the epitome of “cool”! And when you see those pictures on social media showing pilots taking epic selfies tens of thousands of feet in the air, then you’re really convinced! It’s hard to imagine what their life is really like, but it might be way different from what you think!
Do you know, for example, what happens if one of the pilots does get sick or needs emergency medical assistance? Or if a pilot needs to leave the cockpit and get some rest? Or what are the health risks associated with the job? Or have you ever wonder why the plane takes so long to land? Like, why are we doing circles around the airport? Let's find out!

SUMMARY:
- Pilots don’t eat the same meals as their passengers do. It all comes down to the risk of food poisoning.
- Crewmembers are trained to do first aid, and all planes are required by law to have a fully stocked emergency medical kit onboard.
- For long-haul flights on huge jets, there’s a secret room for them to catch some Z’s.
- If a pilot does need to leave the cockpit and get some rest, another crewmember must enter.
- It might surprise you to know that a lot of pilots prefer long-haul flights (ones that are 6-12 hours). And that’s because they typically just have one of those.
- What are the health risks associated with the job? Well, this type of shiftwork has been linked to higher rates of heart disease.
- They have to do regular health checks once or twice a year.
- Pilots mostly fly the plane through the autopilot.
- They need to monitor all the systems in the aircraft, from oil pressure to fuel levels and even temperature.
- “We’re flying through an air pocket” actually means the plane is hitting some regular ol’ turbulence.
- If you see a selfie of a commercial pilot hanging out the window of a jumbo jet, your Photoshop radar should be going nuts! That absolutely wouldn’t be possible because of the air pressure.
- The airline pays for everything a pilot needs while they’re waiting for their next flight.
- Here’s another perk of the job: pilots get to fly for free!
- A good pilot makes a perfectly smooth landing. Landing is probably the hardest and most dangerous part of a pilot’s job.

Hey there, BrightSiders! What’s the coolest selfie you’ve ever taken?
With my friends .and love to with you!!
When i was a baby dude hug my channel my dude
A pilot taking a selfie is not against "the law", per se. But it is usually frowned upon by the airliner if it is made public.
This has more to do with the airliner's outward image. They don't want their pilots to present themselves, and in turn the company, as unprofessional.
the selfie with your mom
BRIGHT SIDE of me
This channel is a compilation of my thoughts at 3 am

!
Big respect to all the pilots in the world🙌👏
Pilots: Oh no, we are going to fly the plane again!
The Other Pilot: But First!, Let Me take a Selfie!
😆
xD😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
And fly right out of the cockpit
Lol xD
Ibis happened
A pilot is never judged by his smooth landing. He is judged by the safe landing.
Hey no photos in the cockpit on that photo of your TH-cam channel
Hahaha just kidding
My father is a pilot and he takes selfies
Smooth landing means like nice and safe ....... right?
@@AM-mw5xd smooth landing menas plain land swaetly with out any problems like rough landing is when plain is one an emergency landing ok
Thumbnail: “Do pilots take a selfie?”
Me: “ *Absolutely not.* “
Kidz Prezz i thing they do? But i dint really know about pilots like NOTHING except that they take us somewhere 😅
They do but not on the plane 😏
And they definitely don’t take them like that
They did..i have a lot of pilot friendlist and they often post their selfies..
Kidz Prezz sameeeeee
Speaking of aviation, I just got my private pilot license!
congr!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations
Nice, going for your commercial licence?
congrats!
Like any job, you are not supposed to do some stuff, yet you can still sneak them in 😀
your right but wat if we DIE tho
Nathan Roblox there’s always auto pilot co polit
DylanFTE Gameplay not always.
Aviation is not like any job, some jobs you’ll just break the law, but here you may get 300 or so ppl killed
We might die
Pilots are not required to have 20/20 vision, or even very close. Yes there are vision requirements, but you can be a commercial pilot and still require corrective lens.
Flying ARK that’s what I was thinking. For the most part, as long as you can be corrected to perfect vision they don’t care.
They have to be correctable to 20/20 (glasses, etc).
@@samslar Assuming you have the numbers backwards, the diffraction limit of the human eye is around 20/7 with a wide-open pupil (ophthalmologists usually test in the dark). 20/5 may be possible for abnormally large eye pupils.
Flying ARK please tell me what is the limit, I have 20/20 in 1 eye and like 1/20 in the other
One pilot had only one eye and was classed as one of the best pilots
Pilots hit the thumbs up 🙋❤❤✈
info Jungle i used to be one, A Commercial pilot My airline was Cebu pacific Here in the philippines
It usually takes 3 to 4 days before i get home to my family.. Ive flown for 7 and a half years.
Cant say how much i earned cause thats taking it away. I flown internationaly
Usually you start with domestic flights.
Info must like farming likes?
@@user-gx4gz2zb6r he has an obsession with it 😂
I am pilot for emirates I am co pilot sheikh abdul
info Jungle I’m talking about you..
Who thank God for waking them and their loved ones up this morning?
Cause I did,, I love u Lord
Bless the bright side and the bright side family🙏❤😊
God bless you! 🙂
Which God? There's over 4200 of them and they're all make believe.

My god is called a noose

18 is correct, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
And any landing you can walk away from and use the aeroplane again ia a GREAT landing.
A hard landing is safer
I salute to all the pilots in my nation
I dont
Why
7:22 no you can’t, your phone is gonna be gone the moment you put it out of the window. Even a cessna is going fast enough so you cant put your hands out and take selfies
You did mis that fact about pilots main family can fly for free to.
Yes ur right
Ok brody
Jack Mackay ok jack
Isn't that more an airline to airline basis?
@@electricheartpony hey! The main comment was posted 1 year ago and this comment was posted 6 months ago and my comment is posted 6 months after your comment ... Wow amazing pattern
0:29 a guy on the right is smoking :(
The thing about the circles around the airport is either what you said, traffic but it’s mainly because of organization... it’s know as a traffic pattern
Try not using it into LAX
Can't wait to start my pilot training soon. Hopefully I'll accumulate enough flight hours in 3 years, to apply to a major airline, then get through that rough first year
hope you get that job!
give us an update
Nice, i too want a pilot's license, prob a PPL but idk if ill have money todo it
When's the update?
@@saorislvr When this year ends, then their 3 years will complete!
They need 3 days to come home
Truck drivers lives more than 7 days on the road away from family
neki tamo are used to work in the truck yard. We would get nothing but out-of-state truckers and they would tell me they would not be home for a 1 to 3 months sometimes.
Mah dad is a truck driver. He spends 8 days at work. But there’s a bed and fridge inside a truck for truck drivers.

I absolutely loved this video...I'm always really interested in these videos about planes..airports..pilots..cabin crew!!!!....please make more videos like this...and plzzz plzzz make videos about airports!!!🙏
hey do u wanna b a PILOT 👨🏻✈️✈?
@@moeenuddinsaiyed1586 yeahhh..!! I would love to be a pilot someday!
You know I always ask myself how he knows all this ? It’s like he’s a pilot
research
I love your videos there so educational you should do more survival quiz ones my daughter loves them
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, and any landing that you use the plane again is a great landing
Maybe it’s just aussie captains, but we get told “please fasten your seatbelts as we are going through some rough turbulence”
yeah AU gangg
I am training to be a pilot and I like how you used yoke instead of joystick, lots of people make that mistake. But it does depend on the manufacturers
To all the lovely people reading this I hope. you have a magical. and interesting. day! 😃☺
(Message from a small youtuber 💕)
Learned something new today..Thank you for sharing this video I hope you have a nice day
My dad is a pilot, when he is home i sometimes play on his phone and i don’t see any selfies.
xD , be happy that ur father is not a rule beaker (for me , rules are made to be broken)
If you're an adult with a father as a pilot, you can bet that he's old enough to not care about selfies
Ur like 6 lol
I’m a pilot too lol 😂 I have to do stuff like this every day because I fly 747’s for British airways and sometimes even 737 for air Canada
No your not kid shut it. and pilots only are on one airline, no pilot says lol.
@@amzerRoblox Are you a pilot?🤨
LOL imagine lying to be cool… your not you can’t be a airline pilot for multiple airlines at once and if you were you wouldn’t be obsessed with legos you would be with aviation nice try.
are you sure you're a pilot 747s are really rare there's such a low chance of you actually being one
@@thepilotgrayson4945 who knows they could be lying or telling the truth so stop just stop
Thank you for thish video informetion...... 🤔🤗..
Who else was impressed about the HD in the first 10 seconds of the video?
Iv always wanted to be a Pilot video has motivated me even more
6:11 why is someone smoking on a plane :/
I think that was a pen.
🤣🤣😂I was wondering that too.
Bro look closely it's a pen there is no smoke
Okay imma be honest here....iv never seen a photo of a pilot on a plane? 😂👌🏼😂
lol
I love the airplane videos please do more
I went to the cockpit and took a family photo with my father😃😃😃😃
Yuki Au That would have been at a state where it is safe to do so, such as on the ground at the gate when the engines are shut off.
Pilots seem so lucky
They get to travel the world and get paid to do so
Oh bro do know how hard it is became a pilot and what responsibility they have you will never know
This is interesting topic :D .. Great video. Love from a small youtuber :)
Love from India
Love your vids
Hay love your video best video thanks bright side
My parents are airline crews and I 100% accept that pilots take a nap because one day I stayed there for a few hours then I went back to my seat
Wrong Take Off is when the most danger can present itself.
Lololol This Is Awesome
“Perfect eyesight” I have glasses and my eyesight is really bad D: being a pilot is one of my dream jobs though-
Yeah
thank you Brightside! Thanks for answering my question!
Hello! Roblox gang!!!!!!!!!
Love your videos
Now i know about pilots😅😊...now learning...yieee💕👏
marylove antiquesa me to
The coolest selfie I've ever taken would be with my uncle he's a pilot on Alaska airlines.
Really interesting. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loving this
About #16, they are allowed, at least under EASA in Europe to take video with a mounted camera, like say a GoPro
I have watched the movie, and it is really funny! Laughed my head off.
What you tell me where can I watch it?
I remember as a kid I dreamed of being a pilot. But because going to flying school is expensive, my dad doesn't have enough money to enroll me. So, I became an accountant. But I still look up every time a plane flies past above me...
I love your videos so much
Thanks dude. My dream is to become a pilot since 1 grade now I'm 7
Me 2
I mean I’m 7 I don’t have a dream about becoming a pilot
6:11 ! A passenger in the right-hand seat is smoking! must be snoop dog I guess :3
Lol
Haha😂
😂😂😂
Love your videos brother
These videos make me want to become a pilot
0:29 that dude with the cigarette lol
Andrew Khomoutov 😂😂😂
8:52 Actually, that's not always the case. For example, at AA we can book a flight and request First Class for free, but of course there will has to be enough seats.
Nice job
Amazing 😊
Bright make video about our country
🇳🇵🇳🇵
Yeah banaunei parxa😂👍🔥
I was able to go inside cockpit coz i was one of those kids who are interested in aviation and i was able to speak to captain if u ask u can go inside the cockpit but dont press any buttons
You're allowed to distract the pilot and help jeopardise the flight?Awesome
Liar
@@caliqm2199 he means after the flight, it's illegal for a passenger to go inside the cockpit while the plane is moving.
LOVE UR VIDS
It is not just pilots that can fly for free it is goes for everyone that works there not including stores
Pilots are those people who enjoy most of their services free: free flight, free hotel accommodation, free uniforms, free insurance, free food etc...
Soooo truee
There's actually a system on board the aircraft called ILS, or Instrument Landing System, which allows the pilot to make a perfect landing even if there's to much fog outside the window to see anything.
constant inspiration
🇵🇭 bright side alert HAHA I hope that you are happy in everthing that you do in life 😊❤️
Thank you!
When I was little once we arrived to are destination the pilot showed me the cockpit
Huh
Sameeeee!!!!!!!!
My dad is a pilot and once I was in first class and he was the one like in charge ( he was flying the aircraft) and he got meh first class but he made SUCH a soft landing I though I was in hevan or somthing
What is the name of his plain
So fake man
fake af
Don't make stuff up to sound cool!
Bright side is like the one guy in school who have multiple talents.
You are great..
You can’t open a window or door during flight, it’s not physically possible
In an A320 it would take up to 5000 pounds of force
@@Fussedqdid you get that from captain joe?
Amuzzin Drawings yes
It can be done if you done have window
see bright side is cap
Bright side running out of ideas lol
My friend is a pilot and takes cockpit selfies all the time
soviet union
I love Bright Side. I always come to learn new things from your wonderful channel. I also take notes so that I may delivery a worthy TH-cam experience. There is no doubt that Bright Side is of the top most channels that truly ad value in a classy and intellectual manner. Thanks so much.
OFCOURSE they can but inside the plane not like the thumbnail picture
Yeah
A teachers friend In my school flies for Qatar and when he’s flying as a passengers he always gets first class.

The ad was to become a first officer
lol
marvelous
dude i love air pockets :D they r so fun
Is this generally what content has come to these days... what a world
My first Thought:who cares if they take selfies🤳 or not
People, people cares about the pilot opening the cockpit window, cause for them its dangerous for a pilot to open the cockpit window even on autopilot, i wish their phones flew.
as a pilot, i can confirm the knowledge given by the bright side is true.
I did not know that so I am really impressed
