I love the clear professional instruction and explanation of the physics of aerodynamics of modern jet flight. Easy to understand and comprehend and you give people a better appreciation of flight.
Having flown as a passenger I always wondered when the spoilers were activated and why but you have answered that question. Thanks for sharing this. After watch many of your tutorials I realize how much education in math is important and the job of pilot is very complex.
I'm deeply impressed with the quality of this video This is an explanation of rare clarity and simplicity of how surface commands work in an aircraft, made by a pilot whose ability, passion and experience shows. Congrats.
Shukran for the information. You explanation is fantastic, clear, good language use and simplified to the best degree. I am not a Pilot. I am a local driver but I like to hear what the big plane Pilots say about flying those Commarecial objects. Wishing you every success.
I love watching your videos. You have a special way of explaining aviation stuff, which I am sure is a product of your hard work and dedication in the past.. Thank you again for teaching us!!
Can you do a segment on the cabin pressure and how it works with the height of the aircraft, and the effects on passengers, ears etc.? Why sometimes the effects on pressure changes seem more pronounced on certain descents than others.
I like this guy. He obviously has a passion for what he does. That's so important these days. Enjoy your work. It makes it fun. This guy makes it a learning experience. 👍
Interesting video. I have two relatives who are flyers - one is 92 and retired, he flew during the 2nd World War and Korea in Air Force Reserves (B-24's and large recon air craft); the other worked on fighters in US Air Force and private license. Now, I can understand what they are talking about. Thanks.
Having flied many times and noticed the spoilers on the wing, today with your video you confirmed many of my assumption. Really nice and clearly explaination, good job captain, wish to watch more of your videos.
I love how there's actually random dislikes on this when it's not talking about opinions people disagree with or literally anything controversial XD Who are these people who just randomly dislike every video on YT for no reason whatsoever?
ComradeSch? Hi! Great question. I've been doing a bit of very unofficial research about this for several weeks by visiting dozens of TH-cam channels. My criteria? Nationality. Ooooh, dear. Preliminary thoughts: Any channel with a thoroughly 'Merkin' flavour/presenter/style of content is generally well-received. If the presenter is an American woman talking about fashion/clothes/hair/makeup, her channel won't get many Dislikes unless she isn't sufficiently blonde, perky, blue-eyed and busty. If the presenter is a bearded, slightly overweight dude wearing plain, rugged clothes, standing in a workshop or garage, talking 'straight' about cars, guns, how to make stuff/how to break stuff, there are very rarely many dislikes UNLESS the subject is controversial and espouses a particular cause such as gun-control, renewable energy, taxation or immigration. Note: if the workshop has an enormous Stars and Stripes flag covering an entire wall, it's guaranteed to get lots of positive Comments. Channels featuring young US guys doing stupid pranks and challenges get almost no Dislikes, either. Channels that dare to be openly foreign (featuring, say, Japanese Sumo wrestling or the latest Brazilian plasma welding techniques or Chinese research into disease-resistant rice or Australian snorkelling holidays or servicing South African air-conditioning equipment or making traditional Indian kites or how people in Belgium spend their leisure time hunting Smurfs with butterfly nets) will be heaped with Dislikes for no good reason... ... For no GOOD reason, but for one very OBVIOUS reason. A very sad, old-fashioned reason. Nationalism. Judging by the negative, often hip-slang-heavy Comments, I get the impression that most of the serial Dislikers are angry American youths - perhaps aged 10 to 16 - steeped in chauvinistic idealism, peer-pressure, testosterone, gang culture, and the need to assert their opinion anonymously without suffering any of the usual consequences such as getting their legs broken and their teeth kicked in. That's just a hunch, though. In my humble opinion, most of the Dislikers are what President Trump would call 'patriots' who cannot BEAR to see that something, somewhere, is popular and good, but not in/from the USA. The idea that there could be millions of fine musicians and excellent research laboratories and ingenious chefs and great sportsmen and talented seamstresses out there (in the 'world', whatever that is...) that owe absolutely NOTHING to the USA is why so many seemingly innocuous, non-controversial videos are given a hard time. It's pitiful, pathetic, and rather disturbing. So... This wonderful Mentour Pilot channel gets masses of well-deserved Likes from people all over the world - including, please note, from many, MANY good, decent, honest, fair, open-minded, keenly-inquisitive, discerning US citizens - but there's still plenty here to trigger the few full-time disgruntled U!S!A!-trolls/holes who actively seek out foreign content so they can take a dump on its doorstep in the name of patriotism. Yes, Mentour Pilot flies a wholesome, Congress-approved, US Boeing (yay) and not some ghastly, useless, foreign, evil, non-Merkin, (probably-some-kinda-Communist) Airbus (boo), but the pilot is... SWEDISH! Oh no! So what if he's charming, intelligent, modest, skilled, respected, highly-trained, witty, completely fluent in a difficult second language; he ain't from TEXAS, bwah, so he's gonna git some Dislikes! Of course, I could be wrong... But then I'm only English (ewww!), so what the heck would I know about anything, eh? ;-)
@@EleanorPeterson That's about right. All a bit sad and immature. *sigh* Excess "nationalism" is ego fragile. Just ignore, like kids passing from school that stick their tongues out.
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to find something on this very topic yesterday. Also, love it when you cover (technical) facts about the aircraft itself :)
Good information. As a private pilot who has been flying since 1968 (yes, I am an old poop!), I am quite familiar with the difficulties some people have regarding these control issues. One person I have run across in flight simulation seems to think that using the flight speed brakes is to be used every time when hitting the mark at below FL180 in order to stay within speed limits. As I was surprised in the real world, it is not the yoke which controls elevation as much as airspeed caused by throttle settings. I learned this one time when trying to attempt to get out of the way of another aircraft above me by pushing in the throttle and all that happened was that I gained altitude. Embarrassing.
Technical? I live for technical. That was a great video mentour. It almost looks like it's done in one continuous take with practically no post production.
Tommy The Heist on the A320, here is what to expect with a no flap landing: right off the bat, the speed on touchdown will be at least 45 knots faster. now we can have a deeper look inside the Bus. for starters, her slats and flaps are controlled by 2 Slats Flaps Control Computer SFCC; one channel each for slats and flaps. commands are forwarded to the powur control unit PCU, which consists of two independent hydraulic motors coupled to a gearbox. slats are driven by green and blue systems, flaps by yellow and green systems. it would be highly rare to loose slats and flaps without loosing anything else. ok, we'll run full tilt here, everthing, all 4 computer channels shit the bed or a combination of 2 hydraulic systems and at least 2 SFCC channels. soon as I loose two of three hydraulic systems, declaring an emergency isn't an option, it's mandatory. because now I have not just lost some secondary flight controls. forget about steering, no reversers, degraded handling and slow response to control inputs are just some of the associated faults. remember, F and S at zero is an abnormal procedure. dual hydraulic failure is an emergency procedure.
Well, lets say one of the motors are broken, flaps extend only on one side or gadgets show that flaps extend not equally.. I guess your option would be to land without flaps and then you do have an option to declare an emergency? Because all you lost are just flaps? As far as I know in situation like this, landing wont change much. Only land with higher speed and you should calculate if the runway length is enough?
Every time i've flown somewhere, i sat in sight of the wings and always wondered what those are. I knew what flaps are and i knew about air brakes, but i wondered why the spoilers pop up during regular roll maneuvers because, as an RC pilot, i only knew about the ailerons for roll. I always asked myself why large passenger aircraft have these spoilers. Right after you said they reduce lift, everything suddenly made sense in my head. As someone who is very interested in such technology i appreciate this video a lot. Thank you for this.
Mentour Pilot agreed. I think a fair percentage of your subscribers are aviation buffs with some knowledge of aircraft and aviation in general but love that professional knowledge that can only come from a practising pilot.
A lot of people became arm chair living room pilots just by looking at videos like these or computer flight simulators. I know I could probably land a 737 just by knowledge gained by looking at videos and playing games. So, how many of you would be my co-pilot based on computer knowledge? By the way, what country are you in? I can tell by the window shutters you are in Europe and lever door "knobs". Also, what are the many grades a pilot shows on his shoulders? I know three means 1st Officer or co-pilot and four means "The Man" or Pilot. I have seen as many as five stripes. I watched a movie about an aircraft that had to land on a inactive runway. In many shots of the pilot William DeVane, he had three on one shoulder and four on the other. I'm guessing this was a gross prop error and the costume person was drunk.
So nice to see videos made by someone who knows that it's "seven-three-seven" and not "seven-thirty-seven." Lends credibility to everything else you say. It's also great to see a European who doesn't hate Boeings. :P
Hello mentour. Go on n thanks for your selfless guidance for such a long time. Gottcha know your moral values through your random act of kindness video! Best wishes from India
I found this depressing :-(. It was depressing to see a foreigner (German?) speak English far. far better than I have ever managed to speak my poor French and moderate Spanish. That aside, it was a brilliant presentation; clear, relaxed and easily understood, with the presenter more concerned about instructing well, rather than, as some instructors do, showing off how clever he is, Top marks, thanks.
many European school children begin learning other languages at 3 years of age. A lot easier than waiting until you're in middle school, like many school kids in the U.S.
Thanks Captain Mentour. I enjoyed this video although being a non-pilot I have very little knowledge and understanding of aviation. But I feel that I am learning each time I watch your videos.
Fascinating, I have been flying fairly regularly for decades now and I have often asked myself what all the parts do. I have always found the feeling of the material working with the natural forces exhilarating but I have never understood exactly what the various aircraft parts do. Thank you for your lucid explanations, sir.
Jman wwen i flew 737 anyti e the speed brakes were used in flight someone had to keep their hand on tne lever so the pilot wouldnt forget they were deployed. also you shoulddmention thr at when armed they are aur tomatically deployed when the gear touches down. you give excellent info on my favorite ac to fly
Very nicely done! Informative without being down in the weeds or up at 50,000ft. New viewer and am a very experienced pax and have been an aviation enthusiast for decades. This video just "hit the spot". Thank you and look forward to the next release. Cheers
I had the spoilers nearly figured out through observation and basic understanding of air deflection, except for one thing: making the wheel brakes more effective. That never occurred to me. So, you've taught me something today. Thank you.
Mentour man, you explain shit so well that I've learned more with your brief explanations than in the last years combined. Enjoying your video podcasts...keep them coming.
CrazyHypedGamer that was what I think,I guess I am right. It confused me a little when a flight simmer landed the plane after bird strike in the engine2 but still using reverser 1 at landing...
Artificial feel units are installed on some aircraft s. More you pull the control harder it gets and pilot actually feel a hardness like small aircraft. However I m not sure about 737s.
Mentour Pilot yes sir and I'm also love avitacion but I was thinking to go to aviation school and that time I was 37 and say my self that I'm a little old to start that and I'm 49 and still feel the same passion for it
Hey Hi! Becoming a pilot was my childhood dream but I did not belong to an affluent family and hence that never came true. I would read the encyclopaedia and make gliders out of wood which would then turned into water plane and glide in water. Your channel helps me live my childhood dream and gets me all my memories back.
Thankyou for the technical side of things. I watch these to learn and finally a series that goes in depth. Great stuff. Goes without saying that I've subscribed and have the app as well.
Technical; yes! But I loved it! I knew basically what they were for; but never thought about making the brakes more effective. I knew they helped nose the aircraft down during descent. I also knew that they were up and locked once The aircraft was on the ground, to help hold it down, because the camber on an aircraft wing makes the aircraft want to fly which was what was made to do. (Bernoulli principle) I had no idea about how the hydraulics work, but that there were redundant systems. Thanks for sharing! Good video!
Good morning It's been four or five years since I watched this About halfway through I realized when you produce this the 737 max incidents had not yet happened and covid hadn't even happened yet
I understand that those "spoilers" are in place in addition to the existing flaps that also add drag to an aircraft that is braking on the runway. The "spoilers" combined with the flaps maximize drag and make it easier to stop an aircraft especially the larger 737-800 or 737-900.
Great video!! This is interesting information for anyone. I remember when I was young and my dad pointed out 'the flaps going up' when we touched down and I was able to correct him. 😀
I love the clear professional instruction and explanation of the physics of aerodynamics of modern jet flight. Easy to understand and comprehend and you give people a better appreciation of flight.
Having flown as a passenger I always wondered when the spoilers were activated and why but you have answered that question. Thanks for sharing this. After watch many of your tutorials I realize how much education in math is important and the job of pilot is very complex.
Its amazing how much stuff a pilot has to know and always be aware of!!! Hats off to you!!!
Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

As always, you produce one the most professional aviation videos on TH-cam. They are educational and interesting.
He is a pilot
@@Goldpoo227 Yep! I know this.
Have you seen all 10000 other video on you tube in the same subject ?? It must take a decade 😂 haha
@@svullo2783 why would I?!
You really educate non-pilots with flight infos... kudos Mentour!
You should put a warning in the title:
This episode contains spoilers.

lol 👍
george cloony - That's a good one.
Spoiler Alert! They are called spoilers.
Right, hhhaha
george cloony loll loll
As an engineer interested in aviation, I quite appreciated the additional technical information in this video. +1
Great explanations for non-pilots. Very interesting and clear.
The more detailed the better. It’s so absorbing.
I love watching your videos. You have a special way of explaining aviation stuff, which I am sure is a product of your hard work and dedication in the past.. Thank you again for teaching us!!
Excellent video. I am a pilot and describing how parts of an aircraft work is a great service. Thank you! Well done.
Can't get enough of the technical explanations!
You mean long winded.
OK, now go study your multiplication tables little Johnny. Run along now.
Very interesting and thank you for explaining!!
Can you do a segment on the cabin pressure and how it works with the height of the aircraft, and the effects on passengers, ears etc.? Why sometimes the effects on pressure changes seem more pronounced on certain descents than others.
Yes, I can try to make something.
I like this guy. He obviously has a passion for what he does. That's so important these days. Enjoy your work. It makes it fun. This guy makes it a learning experience. 👍
great video. I like these more technical videos. Thank you very much.
+Carlos Da Silva Great to hear!
I agree! I'm using these vids to learn how to (properly) fly w/ PC flight sims. Great stuff :-)
Baru nyadar kl thumbnailnya sayap “garuda indonesia”... so proud to have it... cheers from indonesia
Plane videos are addictive.
Indeed

Great video and good level of tech detail. Also would be nice to see the associated controls in the cockpit

Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to find something on this very topic yesterday. Also, love it when you cover (technical) facts about the aircraft itself :)
vptes1 download the mentour aviation app, in the chat room, they are discussing these kinds of things all the time. the app is free

Hi there Mentour, thanx 4 this great video.
I know, its very tecnical, but I wish a video about the different speed: IAS, TAS, CAS.

Thank you dear i learnt a lot about spoiler and flaps as i always keep an eye on Wing during take off and landing ,
Obviuosly the video is amazing as always :D
+Yassine Thank you Yassine!
Still very new, still learning basics.....you are a great teacher and explain at my (novice) level. Thanks so much!
Thank you learn something today Cap.
Technical? I live for technical. That was a great video mentour. It almost looks like it's done in one continuous take with practically no post production.
Hey, mentour! Can you make a video on flaps and procedures when you have to land without flaps?
+Tommy The Heist Yes, there will be more failure related videos coming soon.
Mentour Pilot can you sub to me today its my birthday

+Andrea Borgia Will do. I will mix videos in the future with both technical and more "curiosity" stuff.

This explanation helps to reinforce the hope that the pilot is indeed in charge, a visual truth,ie indicative by wing activities... thank you.
Just wondering, after having my brake pads of my car replaced, how often does an aircraft need to replace them?
Hello mentour. Go on n thanks for your selfless guidance for such a long time. Gottcha know your moral values through your random act of kindness video!

I found this depressing :-(.
It was depressing to see a foreigner (German?) speak English far. far better than I have ever managed to speak my poor French and moderate Spanish. That aside, it was a brilliant presentation; clear, relaxed and easily understood, with the presenter more concerned about instructing well, rather than, as some instructors do, showing off how clever he is, Top marks, thanks.
Thank you! (I'm Swedish :)
Jay Igaboo ur depressing me
English is the language of flight. He has probably spoken English for at least 10,000 hours
many European school children begin learning other languages at 3 years of age. A lot easier than waiting until you're in middle school, like many school kids in the U.S.
Jag tror att han är svensk inte tysk
Thank you for your professional video which increases my knowledge of flight. Well done Captain.
Captain... Would you perform a "hard" landing when there is a lot of rain on the runway so that you could better reduce the chance of hydroplaning?
+Kevin Brennan Not a hard landing but a firm landing, yes.
I love your technical videos like this. Keep them coming!!! Cheers!
a few more of these vids, and I'll be ready for my wings😂
Thanks Captain Mentour. I enjoyed this video although being a non-pilot I have very little knowledge and understanding of aviation. But I feel that I am learning each time I watch your videos.

Ive seen a meme about that joke ;)! "Spoiler Alert"
Jman wwen i flew 737 anyti e the speed brakes were used in flight someone had to keep their hand on tne lever so the pilot wouldnt forget they were deployed. also you shoulddmention thr
at when armed they are aur
tomatically deployed when the gear touches down. you give excellent info on my favorite ac to fly
Very well explained and thank you for explaining in such a simplistic way..........you are a good instructor!
Hi Captain, can you please do a video to explain what is a Rejected Takeoff?
Aborted.
Very nicely done! Informative without being down in the weeds or up at 50,000ft. New viewer and am a very experienced pax and have been an aviation enthusiast for decades. This video just "hit the spot". Thank you and look forward to the next release.

Hey..like your videos...would love to see technical stuff about the landing gear..the tire creep marks and anti skid...good day to you
Cheers!!
+Shaurya Chandel Hi! I will see what I can do.
I had the spoilers nearly figured out through observation and basic understanding of air deflection, except for one thing: making the wheel brakes more effective. That never occurred to me. So, you've taught me something today. Thank you.
Great Captain!
Would be nice if you could make an explanation about the YAW Damper!
Mentour man, you explain shit so well that I've learned more with your brief explanations than in the last years combined. Enjoying your video podcasts...keep them coming.
Great to hear my friend! I will keep them coming!
Interesting
Great!
really well explained, I like that you went in detail and a bit technical even tough I'm not training, just an enthusiast! thx 👍
Hej! During an engine failure landing procedure with single engine operated can you use reversers after touched down?
Garry Wan no because you would go off the side of the runway. i would imagine they would use full toe brake and spoilers though 😁
CrazyHypedGamer that was what I think,I guess I am right. It confused me a little when a flight simmer landed the plane after bird strike in the engine2 but still using reverser 1 at landing...
+Garry Wan Yes but only on the engine that is still working.
Mentour Pilot hej But there is an exception,when the fuel tank is leaking then it is prohibited to use thrust reversers
Hey Mentour keep going and keep explaining the wide range of airliners technical features we want more podcasts from you!!
Do you feel the wind's force in the yoke/wheel even through the electronic control?
+Mr Me Not the wind in itself but the way the aircraft reacts to it.
Mr Me since the A320 is fly by wire there is no feel in the sidestick itself, we do feel the effect the wind has on the plane itself
There is no force-feedback to let you "feel" how the control surfaces are interacting with the air?
Artificial feel units are installed on some aircraft s. More you pull the control harder it gets and pilot actually feel a hardness like small aircraft.
However I m not sure about 737s.
awesome understanding of those flaps, i just thought they were air beaks. thank you.
Really interesting and well explained thanks I like that clear explanation video
Thank you! Im happy you liked it!
Mentour Pilot yes sir and I'm also love avitacion but I was thinking to go to aviation school and that time I was 37 and say my self that I'm a little old to start that and I'm 49 and still feel the same passion for it

Congrats well that's my dream
Great information!
it would be nice if u would do a video showing us the different levels for the golden stripes on a pilot's shoulders
Ahmad Ramadan they dont mean nothing really. Every airline has different meaning behind the stripes on the eppaulets.
Ahmad Ramadan its 2 for a second officer 3 for a first officer and 4 for a captain.
CrazyHypedGamer ok thx
Ahmad Ramadan some have silver stripes too

Both you and Captain Joe are the 2 BEST pilots on TH-cam!
Do you ever wish to collab with Captain Joe?
I like the technical explanations you made in some of these videos, I enjoyed it thank you
thanks captain .. wht about turbulence :P
I have made a video on that to. Check it out
i searched but no gain.
Thankyou for the technical side of things. I watch these to learn and finally a series that goes in depth. Great stuff. Goes without saying that I've subscribed and have the app as well.
Air brakes
Yes, among other things.
yes i love the technical videos,the more technical the better.
spoiler alert...
Damn It.
Getting technical is why we are here.
Hi mentour,
Do aircraft have horns?
+Prathiksh Shetty That's a great question, I might do a short video on that!
Mentour Pilot 🖒👌
Prathiksh Shetty They kinda do. They have a chime/beep to get our attention on the ground.
Prathiksh Shetty not the typical one you would have in your car. if the A320 doesn't get the right TLC from the pilot, she will bark at you
Prathiksh I thought you meant horn balance on flight control surfaces so I guess that dates me! Ha Ha!
GREAT video!! Love the technical videos. Many thank .
+Wayne John Hinrichsen Thanks! Great to hear Wayne!
I just came home from holiday and looking forward to binge watching your videos :P
Technical; yes! But I loved it! I knew basically what they were for; but never thought about making the brakes more effective. I knew they helped nose the aircraft down during descent. I also knew that they were up and locked once The aircraft was on the ground, to help hold it down, because the camber on an aircraft wing makes the aircraft want to fly which was what was made to do. (Bernoulli principle) I had no idea about how the hydraulics work, but that there were redundant systems. Thanks for sharing! Good video!
Good morning
It's been four or five years since I watched this
About halfway through I realized when you produce this the 737 max incidents had not yet happened and covid hadn't even happened yet
I understand that those "spoilers" are in place in addition to the existing flaps that also add drag to an aircraft that is braking on the runway. The "spoilers" combined with the flaps maximize drag and make it easier to stop an aircraft especially the larger 737-800 or 737-900.
Every single video you make is awesome. So informative. I am a better passenger just for watching the education you provide. Thank you!
I love your videos Mentour! This one was very interesting, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Greetings from Spain!
Fantastic video, i learn a lot, but in an easy way. More of this video whould be great :)
+Martin Nordbø I will try to do more like these in the future.
First time I watch a video with over 1k views with no dislikes. Great Job!
+TheJuliodarian Thank you!
the more technical the better thanks!
Thank you for this video. 👍 Greetings from Bosnia ✈✈🙋
Thanks for the spoiler explanation, I always wondered what was going on there
Glad to hear that you liked it!
Great video!! This is interesting information for anyone. I remember when I was young and my dad pointed out 'the flaps going up' when we touched down and I was able to correct him. 😀
+Edward Cameron Haha, great to hear that you liked it Edward!
hey mentour xD i love your channel cz you dont only tell us about aviation but also guide us like a big brother xD
