Another great video! Could you maybe do a video from the sim where one of your colleagues sets up a couple of failures and you don’t know what to expect?
@@JesusisJesus Although that would be fun to watch, I don't believe it would be very realistic. Mentour shows us how these things would be dealt with in a real life situation, and I'm not 100% sure, but I believe ensuring the QRH and other checklists are on board would be one of the first checks and pilots probably can't take off without them
Particularly if it's a scenario with combined failures, like engine failure + rapid depressurization + passenger injury (e.g. SW Airlines 1380). Can't just read one checklist.
@@spad4728 I definitely like the idea of multiple surprise failures.......nothing a good pilot couldn't get out of, but enough to put them under pressure! I mean they do it every 6 months anyway........it'll be just like an airline sim session!
@@murphsmodels8853 Cool to know. And thank you for your work. When I am sitting in the plane I am always thankful for all the workers who supply the aircrafts, often in hard conditions. What airport you are?
Hi Mentor could you do a Aircraft walkround check video. It would be cool if you could explain what checks need to be done by the pilot. Many thanks. Great work
All your videos are awesome! As I'm an ATCo in Brazil, your explanations bring me, from a pilot perspective, how things go. It's valuable to me when it comes to situations that will impact on the air traffic control service. It's pretty helpful to know what is going through inside the flight deck, so we can understand better how to provide ATS services to pilots in the best way possible.
That would be interesting to see a simulated high traffic airport approach with some preplanned failures that would be unknown to the ATC and the pilots flying. Perhaps a small aircraft or helicopter gets lost and into a restricted area? It would be a great video to see professional pilots handle simulated unknown failures or obstacles in real time and in a controlled environment.
When people are Great in their field they never brag about how good they are they always let the people around them brag about how great they are ... But great people always take the time to teach and share their knowledge and experience with others ..
Consistently first class videos with easy to understand demos for non aviators like me. As a passenger it’s reassuring to know the pilots behind that locked cockpit door are at the top of their game !!!
I am just an aviation enthusiast (I fly only in X-Plane and FSX), but I really enjoy these videos and I would like to see both normal and emergency operations, maybe mix them up a bit (one emergency video, then one normal and vice versa).
An insight into the flight planning aspect of the modern airline would be interesting. Do you have an old school backup plan should you have a technology failure ?
There's something rather comforting about such manual mechanisms being in use. I'm not scared by computers being able to fly the plane or anything like that, but electronics can and do go wrong. Having the ability to take over from the electronics and use a "basic" mechanical system is a great idea. As you say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
First!😂😂 I think you should keep doing videos like this one and the previous ones.I think you should simulate an engine fire or a rapid decompression with the following emergency descent procedure. Explaining something in the sim is the key to the full understanding of a topic. Love your channel! ✈❤
@@ajg617 thanks, as aviation lover, I think that is important for people to watch such procedures that, (referring to that Helios flight I don't remember the number of, where the pilots got incapacitated and nobody knew how to fly the airplane) could actually save hundreds of lifes.
1. Emergency Ditch 2. Tire failure and/or gear extension failure 3. Flaps failure on approach 4. Emergency divert to an airport that you or copilot have never been to, how you quickly identify runways and terminals/gates (DFW, Texas would be a good one for grins and giggles)
All I know is that they use level change on the MCP, with max speed and speed brake for the highest rate of descent down to 10,000 feet or below with ground radar to monitor terrain and lights for other traffic. Edit: level change allows the aircraft to descend at a target airspeed, the higher the airspeed the higher the rate of descent, and with speed brakes the descent is further increased.
Hi there. I had a situation in my life when the plane was just about to land, I was able to see the ground from my window but suddenly pilots noticed that the runway is not clear since the plane which landed a minute before did not turn off the runway and they had to bring the plane up in to the air again. Of course everyone was scared to death. It was so quiet and the faces of passengers was green. The maneuver was so sharp that Things started to fall down from the baggage compartments. This is what I personally would love to see in one of your videos. Thank you very much for your incredibly interesting videos
Hello Mentour! Regarding your encouragement to write down what we would like to see in your videos: I'd be really interested in tour of the cockpit, showing locations of main instruments. In your videos when you explain some situation and you tell us for example "turn off autopilot", "set flaps 15", trim down", I am very sad if I don't know how exactly, using which switch or lever, where is it located. Yes, you try to highlight the one most important instrument for us, just like gear lever in this video. But it would be great having one video, where locations of all important instruments are shown together :0) Thank you for all the great content :0) Bahno
I was a Second Officer on a B-727-100. Coming into Seattle-Tacoma, at the outer marker, the Captain ordered ‘gear down.’ The mains came down and locked, but not the nose gear. The gear handle was raised again and put down again. Still no nose gear. The Captain called for manual extension. I retrieved the manual gear extension tool , opened the access door to the manual extension knob, inserted the extension tool onto the knob and following the checklist, cranked the nose gear down. We verified “gear down, 3 green .” The procedure was completed by the time we reached 500 feet. Landing was uneventful.
the term drag penalty reminds me on hapag lloyd flight 3378 with an airbus A310 when the landing gear could no be retracted and increased the fuel consumption by 60%. FMS did not take the drag into account and the crew felt save to be able to make it. 12 NM before touchdown at Vienna both engines run out of fuel at 4000 feet. Luckily the made it almost safe to the ground

Even thou I am not a pilot but knowledgeable about aviation maintenance, more emergency procedures are more of my interest. You give a very good inside of how a particular system works and how to go about executing the emergency procedures that would apply to it when it fails. Keep up the good job.
I would like to see a video tutorial on setting up the FMC for a flight from TAKE-OFF to LANDING....or a COLD and DARK to a LANDING and SHUT-DOWN with commentary....
I love the quality of the communication between you and the first officer - especially in stressful situations. Please show more simulations of you both handling unanticipated issues.
Having watched your informative and entertaining video, I find that I am having an absolutely fantastic day! I'd like to see a video focusing on the radio communications between pilots and both air and ground traffic controllers.
Another thing I'd love to see from the sim, is a flaps failure. As someone else suggested, it would be great to see the approach. I have practiced a landing without flaps in the simulator & the runway does come up very fast. I landed on the grass......okay, I'm not a pilot, so it was to be expected, but I'd love to see that from a pilots perspective!
If you haven't already made a video on this then I'd love to see one on flight planning. How do you get the V speeds for take off, How do you calculate take off weight, How do you determine the best cruising altitude and speeds, etc. However, I like all your videos and watch with much interest as a lifelong aircraft nut!
One of my early piston twins was an Aero Commander 680. It had hydraulic gear that, like your 737, had free-fall emergency gear extension. Too, the POH called for the mid-switch on the landing gear handle after the gear was in the wells. Must be an industry standard.
If you have time to do more emergency simulations, that would be great! Maybe a rapid de-pressurization followed by an engine failure and limited hydraulics...
You are doing a great work. Thank you! I’d like to learn more about routine procedures during taxiing, flying and landing. And also about communicating with ATC.
Can you do a video about some basic things like,starting and turning off engines, your preference in personalization of settings and how the ATC choose altitude for every single aircraft.
Woudl like to see more ATC communication explanation videos or maybe how the ILS works with a deep explanation. Thank you for your amazing videos Mentour
I sat through hours of instruction on this topic during a polytechnic program aimed at teaching students what they need to know to become what in Canada is referred to as a AME-E (a maintenance technican certified to repair avionics systems on aircraft). Essentially ILS, like Mentour stated in his CAT 3 approach video, works with 2 components, one for vertical deviation ("glideslope") and one for lateral deviation from the centre line ("localiser"). These systems work exactly the same, apart from differing in frequency (localiser (or "LOC" for short) is in the 108.10-111.95 MHz range and glideslope (or "G/S" for short) is in the 329.15 - 335 MHz range--these frequencies are paired, so the pilot need only set the LOC frequency and the receiver will assign the corresponding G/S frequency to its G/S section) and they are rotated 90 degrees from each other. He also says that they use 2 lobes of radiation, one amplitude modulated with a 90Hz signal, the other one with a 150 Hz signal (Above glideslope is 90Hz, Below G/S is 150 Hz, Left of centreline LOC is 90Hz and Right of centreline LOC is 150Hz). The receiver listens to the two lobes, and resolves a needle deflection based on which one is more heavily modulated (i.e. stronger). If it sees 2 equal modulations, it provides a "centred" signal i.e. the pilot simply needs to continue what he's doing for an ideal landing. The indicator consists of 2 bars, one vertical and one horizontal. In the 737 I believe this is simply a diamond moving between 4 dots and a centre marker, but the idea is the same: "Fly to the Bar". This means, for example, if the bar or diamond shows you are above and to the left of centre flying left and climbing is necessary (i.e. you are too low and to the right of the runway centreline). Each dot represents 2 degrees of deviation. There's not much more to it than that. The only complicated part is how to create those signals, which I don't quite understand myself, and how the LOC/GS receiver works (usually a component of the NAV receiver on transport category aircraft like the 737 which includes VOR, DME and maybe ADF as well), which is a long boring discussion. Also, every ILS signal has a 3 letter morse code ident, so Mentour and other pilots know they are receiving the correct signal. This is especially important when an airport has R/L or R/C/L parallel runways like Seattle (16L/34R, 16C/34C, 16R/34L). Let me know Mentour if I have any of this wrong.
I'm not an aviator, just a fascinated outsider. I would like to see _everything_ that you can show us! Normal manœuvres, abnormal manœuvres, emergency manœuvres, everything you're taught and everything you've learned that you're _not_ necessarily taught! [thinking Gimli Glider and 'all engines out' sound] (and yes, I know, you could likely spend the rest of your _life_ covering every aspect, but a girl can dream, can't she? ;3 ]
Thanks for your commitment to aviation education. I'd like to know more about 1) radio communication, when do you talk and to whom (and when should you keep silent), 2) how do you program navigation equipment, 3) what are the backup navigation equipment options, 4) more about ILS procedures.
Hey Commander! That was a Super Cool Program! I Love the In Cockpit Visual of how you work! Amazing how calm You are as you hurtle through space! Keep Flying Safe & continue to have an Absolutely Fantastic Day! One Day At A Time! Thnx for your Dedication! CJ
Very informative video! I'd be interested to see the procedure from the cockpit on what to do if the aircraft encounters severe turbulence or bad weather conditions such as thunderstorms. Keep up the great work!
Could you do a video on the flight management system, how to put in airports, takeoff weights, etc? That would be so cool! And emergency maneuvers are interesting as well
Maybe I am being a little bit catastrophic here, but I would really appreciate if you simulated a ditching situation (I don't even know if it is possible in a simulator), or flying straight into a severe thunderstorm or losing an hydraulic system. Mainly I would like to see the workload on the pilots on this extreme and improbable situations. I send you a great hug, you are really professional, thank you for everything!
TNTmatteos I mean home simulators such as x-plane 11 can simulate ditching, I think it’d be possible for that professional sim to do so. Simulators today are really amazing.
As always, nice video, Mentour Pilot, I do love all your videos. About your request, besides the emergency procedures that you have already made some videos, I'd love to see some videos about normal procedures, how exactly pilots perform a normal approach/ takeoof. Best regards
Your videos are very nice. Perhaps a video showing a landing on a relative short runway in inclement weather close to minimums? Sidewind components and stuff. Could be interesting. :) Greetings from Norway.
Hi, great video. But in simulator put rear camera high, because we don’t see the ground and the horizon. Today’s video I suffered with a little spatial disorientation during the land ... lol 😂
So good, can you do a video on communication culture and nuances between pilots and control towers? Maybe talk about some unwritten rules when it comes to cadence?
I do prefer normal maneuver because I am learning with the flight simulator and at my level I am not ready for any emergency. But with this kind of video I always learn something.
I think that just about anything you could do in the simulator would be educational. I like that you have done a couple where you say "here's a problem, lets see how it works". More of these would be great, but how about some where you and your co-pilot get in to the simulator and have no idea what's going to happen- the kind of situation where the person in charge of the simulator just throws random weird stuff at you. I can tell you that your simulator videos have cured me of the idea that just anybody could fly one of these planes - the complexity of managing and understanding the systems on board is something I have a real respect for. Forgive what may be a stupid question, but from the camera angle you're using it looks like you and your co-pilot have pretty cramped quarters. Is it really as tight as it looks, and if so, how do you manage keeping limber during a long flight? Appreciate your effort in making these videos. Cheers.
I'd like seeing more emergency simulations! (mainly so that I can hear all the alarms going off). Fire on board, dual engine failure, loss of all hydraulics, loss of fuel by leaks, window shatter, faulty instruments, And more if you can!
Amazing video as always! It would be nice to see how the pilots communicate with ATC and with each other on a regular flight. And please keep doing what you’re doing, I think you’re a gift in the aviation community and I hope it continues for much much longer!
Love your videos. Very informative. A video explaining the Sounds of the Cockpit would be informative. I like to watch cockpit videos of all kinds of approaches arround the world. At various stages of the approach the plane "bings" "buzzes" "beeps" and so on. I know one is for the Autopilot disconnect, another signals flying over the runway threshold(?) Another signals almost approaching the Autopilot flightlevel(?) (See... my knowledge is not that good). Would be nice to know all the sounds/warnings that the aircraft throws at the pilot. I'm only a 737-800 home sim pilot (but have also flown an A320 Madiera approach in a stationary sim, as a birthday present - see TH-cam Channel. Approach was a bit extreme :-) ).
Hi Petter...another great video (I've sen them all!) Can you do a video on the 'punctured tire after take off procedure?' And how can you tell in the flight deck if there is a blown tire? Many thanks! Adam
Great video again! Being just a passenger is really cool for me to see what happens 'behind closed doors' in the cockpit. Thanks a lot for your work. Emergency manovers are very interesting for me so more videos on them would be great!
@mentour pilot Hi, I've watched all your videos and I have the feeling that you have covered already 95% of possible topics. By the way, I prefere the normal flying topics and not so much the emergency things because flying is not doing emergency procedures. Left topics I would like to see are a bit difficult to explain in a simple videos, this would be more about ATC (how are the rules to speak or typical... I don't know, I am a layman) and I would like to know more about the planing you do before you fly, menas before you even enter the plane, more in detail and step by step, and background to this (why... ) and about the slots more details, e.g. who is it, who gives you the slot in the briefing, what managers are there involved (or don't pilots know this really), but to who you speak in the briefing etc. And when you learn flying the big airplanes like the 737 what do you learn first, what second etc.? For example, when and how do you learn how to communicate with the ATC: when you get in contact with what "zones", can you explain "maps" where you can see "zones", what lines does show this (or so)
Or I would love a "cockpit-tour" e.g. in the simulator where you explain for laymen the "blocks", what is for what with explanations of the abbreviations, that might be quite boring for cadets but interesting for laymen and kids, all the switches and knobs in the middle and the "ceiling" and the side, not each single switch anyway, but the "blocks" and some important single things. You did some of this already, I know, like the lights etc. but would be nice again and an overview and nicely slowly for laymen with explanation of the abbreviations. Close views of the instruments would be also wonderful, I am always excited when I get really close video-scenes of the screens, in most videos you don't see it very close.
Hello! Nice video! I would like to see how to manually fly a final approach with an important cross wind, with a liner. In particular focus the explanation on how to use the rudder related to the crosswind, performing a crab approach . If the rudder must be still pressed or used only for little correction to keep the track aligned with the runway centerline. Thank you!
Great video as always Petyr. Kindly make a video about a go-around after landing/touchdown with spoilers deployed and flaps in landing config (30 or 40). Love ur content. Fly safe.
Perhaps you could demonstrate the "instrument scan", with a brief explanation of each instrument. Are there different scan techniques for different phases of flight, etc. Do FAs also do a scan? Links to more detailed instrument explanations could be included. Thank you for all your great work!
When you fly as a passenger, what do you think about in regards to the flight? What's going on in the cockpit? How the airplane is "behaving"? Or do you just "sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight"?
I think a video on the engines and different scenarios that could happen i.e compressor stall, compressor surge, windmill relight, flame outs and any other scenarios that may happen
Incredible video mentour! I would love to see a sim video on the loss of hydraulics systems A and B on the 737 NG. Your videos are always fantastic and thank you for your time and dedication to your TH-cam community!
Hi Petter, could you please make a video with an explanation about how you plan the used breaking action on landing? I men: Auto Brake armed or manual braking. If it is used which level and why. Would be interesting. Thank you for your great channel.
Not really what you were asking for - simulator and all that - but it would be very interesting if you could persuade a senior member of the cabin crew you've just flown with, to come in and talk with you about what makes a good pilot from their point of view, and for you, what makes good cabin crew; about how passenger incidents are dealt with and what sorts of interactions might be needed between the two of you. That would relate well to our experience as passengers.
I like this kind of videos very much! Though I would like to see more videos about specific systems or components of the plane (eg. weather radar, Autothrottle, packs, and so on)
I found the Japan Airlines flight 123 (a 747SP) fascinating. Horrowing as it may be, there were other pilots who managed to manoeuvre their planes using engine thrust only and land. One was a Philippine Airlines flight 434 - a 747 where a bomb exploded taking out many controls, the same as Japan Airlines 123, but they managed to land using engine thrust. Higher on one side to turn, reducing both to decent, accelerating both to climb (although with serious limitations). So how about a video where you disable all flight controls and then attempt to land via engine thrust only? I noticed that after the crew of JAL123 applied full thrust to avoid the mountains, this finally signified the end, as the plane's nose rose too high, then approached a stall, then almost nose dived into the peak of one mountain, followed by the plane smashing into the next. HORRIBLE, but is it possible to control to an extent to perform a ditching or even a landing at an airport?
Another great video! Could you maybe do a video from the sim where one of your colleagues sets up a couple of failures and you don’t know what to expect?
Now this idea I love!

Consider doing a video on procedures used for a tire failure during take off or landing
Having watched your informative and entertaining video, I find that I am having an absolutely fantastic day! I'd like to see a video focusing on the radio communications between pilots and both air and ground traffic controllers.
I'd like this so much too!!!
Another thing I'd love to see from the sim, is a flaps failure. As someone else suggested, it would be great to see the approach. I have practiced a landing without flaps in the simulator & the runway does come up very fast. I landed on the grass......okay, I'm not a pilot, so it was to be expected, but I'd love to see that from a pilots perspective!
I like simulation videos. I think you can replay some big crashes which have pilot fault and show us what they should do.
Just wanted to say your wife keeps a very clean house give her a high five for me. Love your Videos
I really like both emergency and normal ops videos but I prefer the normal ops. Love you videos though, really great content!
If you haven't already made a video on this then I'd love to see one on flight planning. How do you get the V speeds for take off, How do you calculate take off weight, How do you determine the best cruising altitude and speeds, etc. However, I like all your videos and watch with much interest as a lifelong aircraft nut!
One of my early piston twins was an Aero Commander 680. It had hydraulic gear that, like your 737, had free-fall emergency gear extension. Too, the POH called for the mid-switch on the landing gear handle after the gear was in the wells. Must be an industry standard.
It looks like you bought a new brown and white fluffy pillows🐶🐶🐶
Happy pilots Day🎉🎉🎉
If you have time to do more emergency simulations, that would be great! Maybe a rapid de-pressurization followed by an engine failure and limited hydraulics...
Thank you very much for the MissTrim Video. Emergency Videos and maneuvering skills always amaze me.
Great video Petter! I would love to see emergency landing outside the airport area, for example due to a fire or lack of fuel
I would also like to see an emergency ditch video
Emergency maneuvers, especially rare ones! The video today was great!
You are doing a great work. Thank you! I’d like to learn more about routine procedures during taxiing, flying and landing. And also about communicating with ATC.
+1
Can you do a video about some basic things like,starting and turning off engines, your preference in personalization of settings and how the ATC choose altitude for every single aircraft.
Woudl like to see more ATC communication explanation videos or maybe how the ILS works with a deep explanation. Thank you for your amazing videos Mentour
I sat through hours of instruction on this topic during a polytechnic program aimed at teaching students what they need to know to become what in Canada is referred to as a AME-E (a maintenance technican certified to repair avionics systems on aircraft). Essentially ILS, like Mentour stated in his CAT 3 approach video, works with 2 components, one for vertical deviation ("glideslope") and one for lateral deviation from the centre line ("localiser"). These systems work exactly the same, apart from differing in frequency (localiser (or "LOC" for short) is in the 108.10-111.95 MHz range and glideslope (or "G/S" for short) is in the 329.15 - 335 MHz range--these frequencies are paired, so the pilot need only set the LOC frequency and the receiver will assign the corresponding G/S frequency to its G/S section) and they are rotated 90 degrees from each other. He also says that they use 2 lobes of radiation, one amplitude modulated with a 90Hz signal, the other one with a 150 Hz signal (Above glideslope is 90Hz, Below G/S is 150 Hz, Left of centreline LOC is 90Hz and Right of centreline LOC is 150Hz). The receiver listens to the two lobes, and resolves a needle deflection based on which one is more heavily modulated (i.e. stronger). If it sees 2 equal modulations, it provides a "centred" signal i.e. the pilot simply needs to continue what he's doing for an ideal landing. The indicator consists of 2 bars, one vertical and one horizontal. In the 737 I believe this is simply a diamond moving between 4 dots and a centre marker, but the idea is the same: "Fly to the Bar". This means, for example, if the bar or diamond shows you are above and to the left of centre flying left and climbing is necessary (i.e. you are too low and to the right of the runway centreline). Each dot represents 2 degrees of deviation. There's not much more to it than that. The only complicated part is how to create those signals, which I don't quite understand myself, and how the LOC/GS receiver works (usually a component of the NAV receiver on transport category aircraft like the 737 which includes VOR, DME and maybe ADF as well), which is a long boring discussion. Also, every ILS signal has a 3 letter morse code ident, so Mentour and other pilots know they are receiving the correct signal. This is especially important when an airport has R/L or R/C/L parallel runways like Seattle (16L/34R, 16C/34C, 16R/34L). Let me know Mentour if I have any of this wrong.
Rapid decompression or an engine fire on final approach would be awesome!
It can't be a rapid decompression on final dude
The pressure is already same with the ground
Widyka Canacantya yeah I know. That’s why I said “or” suggesting either option haha
Surely, you mean _a demonstration of_ *Rapid decompression or an engine fire on final approach would be awesome!* :)
I'm not an aviator, just a fascinated outsider. I would like to see _everything_ that you can show us! Normal manœuvres, abnormal manœuvres, emergency manœuvres, everything you're taught and everything you've learned that you're _not_ necessarily taught! [thinking Gimli Glider and 'all engines out' sound] (and yes, I know, you could likely spend the rest of your _life_ covering every aspect, but a girl can dream, can't she? ;3 ]
Very good video, I would love you to do a video explaining how yaw dumper works, and what if that fails
Thanks for your commitment to aviation education. I'd like to know more about 1) radio communication, when do you talk and to whom (and when should you keep silent), 2) how do you program navigation equipment, 3) what are the backup navigation equipment options, 4) more about ILS procedures.
Hey Commander! That was a Super Cool Program! I Love the In Cockpit Visual of how you work! Amazing how calm You are as you hurtle through space! Keep Flying Safe & continue to have an Absolutely Fantastic Day! One Day At A Time! Thnx for your Dedication! CJ
Very informative video! I'd be interested to see the procedure from the cockpit on what to do if the aircraft encounters severe turbulence or bad weather conditions such as thunderstorms. Keep up the great work!
Could you do a video on the flight management system, how to put in airports, takeoff weights, etc? That would be so cool! And emergency maneuvers are interesting as well
Maybe I am being a little bit catastrophic here, but I would really appreciate if you simulated a ditching situation (I don't even know if it is possible in a simulator), or flying straight into a severe thunderstorm or losing an hydraulic system. Mainly I would like to see the workload on the pilots on this extreme and improbable situations.
I send you a great hug, you are really professional, thank you for everything!
TNTmatteos I mean home simulators such as x-plane 11 can simulate ditching, I think it’d be possible for that professional sim to do so. Simulators today are really amazing.
1. Total Loss of Communications
2. Go-around procedure
3. Emergency Descent
4. Different CAT Approaches (I, II, III)
As always, nice video, Mentour Pilot, I do love all your videos. About your request, besides the emergency procedures that you have already made some videos, I'd love to see some videos about normal procedures, how exactly pilots perform a normal approach/ takeoof. Best regards
Great video once again. Video idea: yaw damper, failure and recovery from dutch roll
Your videos are very nice. Perhaps a video showing a landing on a relative short runway in inclement weather close to minimums? Sidewind components and stuff. Could be interesting. :) Greetings from Norway.
I like all the videos you do, but the emergency ones are the most intense so more of those please
Could you do an engine governor failure in the cockpit?
Hi, great video.
But in simulator put rear camera high, because we don’t see the ground and the horizon.
Today’s video I suffered with a little spatial disorientation during the land ... lol 😂
So good, can you do a video on communication culture and nuances between pilots and control towers? Maybe talk about some unwritten rules when it comes to cadence?
Awesome video! I think this series of video is useful in helping travellers less afraid of flying.
I do prefer normal maneuver because I am learning with the flight simulator and at my level I am not ready for any emergency. But with this kind of video I always learn something.
I think that just about anything you could do in the simulator would be educational. I like that you have done a couple where you say "here's a problem, lets see how it works". More of these would be great, but how about some where you and your co-pilot get in to the simulator and have no idea what's going to happen- the kind of situation where the person in charge of the simulator just throws random weird stuff at you. I can tell you that your simulator videos have cured me of the idea that just anybody could fly one of these planes - the complexity of managing and understanding the systems on board is something I have a real respect for.
Forgive what may be a stupid question, but from the camera angle you're using it looks like you and your co-pilot have pretty cramped quarters. Is it really as tight as it looks, and if so, how do you manage keeping limber during a long flight? Appreciate your effort in making these videos. Cheers.
Great video! Please, I would like to know more about circle-to-land approaches. Thanks!
I'd like seeing more emergency simulations! (mainly so that I can hear all the alarms going off). Fire on board, dual engine failure, loss of all hydraulics, loss of fuel by leaks, window shatter, faulty instruments, And more if you can!
Amazing video as always! It would be nice to see how the pilots communicate with ATC and with each other on a regular flight. And please keep doing what you’re doing, I think you’re a gift in the aviation community and I hope it continues for much much longer!
Love your videos. Very informative. A video explaining the Sounds of the Cockpit would be informative. I like to watch cockpit videos of all kinds of approaches arround the world. At various stages of the approach the plane "bings" "buzzes" "beeps" and so on. I know one is for the Autopilot disconnect, another signals flying over the runway threshold(?) Another signals almost approaching the Autopilot flightlevel(?) (See... my knowledge is not that good). Would be nice to know all the sounds/warnings that the aircraft throws at the pilot. I'm only a 737-800 home sim pilot (but have also flown an A320 Madiera approach in a stationary sim, as a birthday present - see TH-cam Channel. Approach was a bit extreme :-) ).
very nice questions! Hope he reads it!
Hi Petter...another great video (I've sen them all!) Can you do a video on the 'punctured tire after take off procedure?' And how can you tell in the flight deck if there is a blown tire? Many thanks! Adam
Great video again! Being just a passenger is really cool for me to see what happens 'behind closed doors' in the cockpit. Thanks a lot for your work. Emergency manovers are very interesting for me so more videos on them would be great!
@mentour pilot Hi, I've watched all your videos and I have the feeling that you have covered already 95% of possible topics. By the way, I prefere the normal flying topics and not so much the emergency things because flying is not doing emergency procedures. Left topics I would like to see are a bit difficult to explain in a simple videos, this would be more about ATC (how are the rules to speak or typical... I don't know, I am a layman) and I would like to know more about the planing you do before you fly, menas before you even enter the plane, more in detail and step by step, and background to this (why... ) and about the slots more details, e.g. who is it, who gives you the slot in the briefing, what managers are there involved (or don't pilots know this really), but to who you speak in the briefing etc. And when you learn flying the big airplanes like the 737 what do you learn first, what second etc.? For example, when and how do you learn how to communicate with the ATC: when you get in contact with what "zones", can you explain "maps" where you can see "zones", what lines does show this (or so)
Or I would love a "cockpit-tour" e.g. in the simulator where you explain for laymen the "blocks", what is for what with explanations of the abbreviations, that might be quite boring for cadets but interesting for laymen and kids, all the switches and knobs in the middle and the "ceiling" and the side, not each single switch anyway, but the "blocks" and some important single things. You did some of this already, I know, like the lights etc. but would be nice again and an overview and nicely slowly for laymen with explanation of the abbreviations. Close views of the instruments would be also wonderful, I am always excited when I get really close video-scenes of the screens, in most videos you don't see it very close.
And, do you remember funny situations or cool jokes from colleagues or ATC or flight attendants or ramp guys?
Mentor , How about preflight check list and procedures. Could you do videos about that subject??
Hey its Walter from the mentour aviation app. Would like to see a ditching procedure as I told you recently. Great video as always!
Agreed on emergency ditching
Hello! Nice video! I would like to see how to manually fly a final approach with an important cross wind, with a liner. In particular focus the explanation on how to use the rudder related to the crosswind, performing a crab approach . If the rudder must be still pressed or used only for little correction to keep the track aligned with the runway centerline. Thank you!
I'd like to see normal operations, from cold and dark to takeoff as well as descent from cruising altitude, approach and landing.
Happy pilots day mentor. Thank you for being an amazing pilot and teacher and human being.
Thank YOU for following the channel and supporting!
Great video as always Petyr. Kindly make a video about a go-around after landing/touchdown with spoilers deployed and flaps in landing config (30 or 40). Love ur content. Fly safe.
Talking about emergency manouvers: How about talking about and trying the gimli glider manouver? (losing altitude fast via side slip)
Perhaps you could demonstrate the "instrument scan", with a brief explanation of each instrument. Are there different scan techniques for different phases of flight, etc. Do FAs also do a scan? Links to more detailed instrument explanations could be included. Thank you for all your great work!
When you fly as a passenger, what do you think about in regards to the flight? What's going on in the cockpit? How the airplane is "behaving"? Or do you just "sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight"?
I have actually did do a manual gear extension on a saber liner that was on jacks, this happened at my AMT school
I think a video on the engines and different scenarios that could happen i.e compressor stall, compressor surge, windmill relight, flame outs and any other scenarios that may happen
Incredible video mentour! I would love to see a sim video on the loss of hydraulics systems A and B on the 737 NG. Your videos are always fantastic and thank you for your time and dedication to your TH-cam community!
Hi Petter, could you please make a video with an explanation about how you plan the used breaking action on landing? I men: Auto Brake armed or manual braking. If it is used which level and why.
Would be interesting.
Thank you for your great channel.
Not really what you were asking for - simulator and all that - but it would be very interesting if you could persuade a senior member of the cabin crew you've just flown with, to come in and talk with you about what makes a good pilot from their point of view, and for you, what makes good cabin crew; about how passenger incidents are dealt with and what sorts of interactions might be needed between the two of you. That would relate well to our experience as passengers.
I like this kind of videos very much! Though I would like to see more videos about specific systems or components of the plane (eg. weather radar, Autothrottle, packs, and so on)
I found the Japan Airlines flight 123 (a 747SP) fascinating. Horrowing as it may be, there were other pilots who managed to manoeuvre their planes using engine thrust only and land. One was a Philippine Airlines flight 434 - a 747 where a bomb exploded taking out many controls, the same as Japan Airlines 123, but they managed to land using engine thrust. Higher on one side to turn, reducing both to decent, accelerating both to climb (although with serious limitations). So how about a video where you disable all flight controls and then attempt to land via engine thrust only? I noticed that after the crew of JAL123 applied full thrust to avoid the mountains, this finally signified the end, as the plane's nose rose too high, then approached a stall, then almost nose dived into the peak of one mountain, followed by the plane smashing into the next. HORRIBLE, but is it possible to control to an extent to perform a ditching or even a landing at an airport?
