- Once you’re hired as a First Officer at the airlines, you may wonder how do you Prepare for Airline Pilot Training? What is Day 1 going to be like at your first officer job? WHAT do you prepare for? I explain the process of the pilot training in this video.

When I was serving in the US Army I attended the leadership course at the NCO Academy.
They taught us to remember the seven " P's "
" PROPER PRE PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE "
Genius
That's awesome. My dad taught me this. He also taught me how to count.
Beware the class “anchor”. You can help him, but DO NOT try to “save” him. He will pull you down with him.
That’s a good life advise too
Love this guy. I don’t have much of a mentor in my training and this helps motivate and guide me through the unknowns.
happy to be of service Luke!!
You’re the best Kelsey! I wish I would’ve stuck with my aviation dream when I was younger to become an airline pilot. You would make a great flight instructor!
Spot on...I Got trough my training, it was intense and stressful but OMG I love flying Airliners!!
Great points! I think that the concepts you mention here about preparation also apply to any kind of training...whether it's learning to drive a car or even a motorcycle, having the right mind set will help you succeed. Also, being able to get through any training at the pace they require prepares you for the real world where it really matters...IMHO.
As Henry Ford said - 'Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.'
I also like another quote by him: "When everything seem to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it ...." Henry Ford
I had been waiting for this video, thank you Kelsey! It was a nice natural progression from the checkride prep video, especially since a lot of things from that checkride prep video reminded me of study habits taught to us in turbine ground school class at my collegiate flight school.
nice, glad you liked it... thanks for that Tommy
Man first class props to the humour you slip in, keep it up man!
What makes me the most nervous is pretty much what you described, being overwhelmed by the information. I think the classes I took helped me get a handle on it though, that is on how to study for airline ground school. A lot of good things were brought up in this video that I will try to do when I get to that point, like searching for flight manuals on the aircraft type I would be training on as early as possible.
The other thing that makes me nervous, is if I go the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve route after I finish my bachelors. If I do that, I don't want to fail at something that has been a dream for a long time, and washing out during any of the military training.
With either/both routes, I also fear I won't like the lifestyle. I hope I will, and think I will, but we will see. I love aviation, and am passionate about it in that I always try to strive for excellence. So I am hoping it won't be an issue.
Good video. I've been curious about this. Never knew it could take 3 months.
Well done FO Kels. And so spot on, as usual. I know a friend that has a young relative that has excessive anxiety and lack of focus plus is hooked like most under 26, on social media. I keep telling her she better learn to figure it out soon, because once Instrument training starts, the volume is going way up on everything and if she’s not focused, well, you know.
Thanks for the support Dan appreciate it.
CHAMPION RIGHT THERE!!!! 06:15 - "So, it's important that you show up prepared and treating this like a job, because, IT IS YOUR JOB to know these things."
Thank you! you helped me write a school paper on airline pilots!
Great video Kelsey! I know exactly what you mean about staying ahead of the game. For my private and instrument I went with the motions not really knowing what to expect and had ok check rides. Now I am preparing out the wazoo for my ATP training. 6 months ahead I finished all my writtens (CAX, FIA, FII, IGI, FOI). I’m going through the instructor handbook, plus all my supplement books for the aircraft and the Garmin systems onboard.
I don’t want to miss a beat when I start my professional pilot training. I’ve got too much financially invested to play it casual. This is my dream job and my future and I want to walk into training day one and feel prepared.
Thank you for all the informative vids and, as always, keep the blue side up!
great attitude Cutlass, with that attitude its going to make the rest of your career go very smooth and you will learn a lot more and be a lot less stressed. Awesome job!
Sounds like a great plan! Where are you attending ATP? I start at RDU in May and would love to get a head start on the written exams, but am trying to finish up my last 2 university classes. How did you prepare for the writtens? Test exams? What do you think was most difficult about them?
Another excellent job, Sir!
Appreciate it Anthony.
Great video. Informative and funny!
The Dislikes are from the pilots who were washed out.
Love your channel. Keep it up, brother.
Appreciate it Vega!
Dude! You’ve come a long way since the Navajo days!
Thanks!!
Great work Kelsey!! I can not wait when you make a video from a cockpit
well I am hoping to do that soon actually I made a challenge to try to grow the channel to 100k but didn't seem to work 🤣 but we will see when I go do some flights in a small plane again sometime this year. Thanks for subscribing.
This is an amazing video!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Thanks for all your support Genevieve... glad you liked it!
Great channel and video!
thanks jx...glad you like it.
I´m never gonna be an airline pilot, but I love to watch your channel.
well there are some cool more general videos coming up I am sure you will like Fulanito thanks so much for watching.
Thank you so much for this video.
glad you liked it Emanuel.
This is good advice for any job or any career. “Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity" - attributed to Roman philosopher Seneca
Thank you so much man 👍😍😍😍😘😘😘
Great advice for flight training. I gave my son a similar lecture when he went off for college.
ya its really applicable really for any intense training. Thanks Vincent.
Really great topic you talked about, very relevant for us, I´m waiting for my license to be able to start any airline process, but the most I worry is LATAM process, not just the process but also the flying, they are so strict. But as you recommend constant preparation and study will get me anywhere I want.
exactly Alejo, you will have to stay prepared for the opportunity I know a few pilots who were there so its just the difficult part of starting in aviation.
What a educational video on starting your training as a pilot.
This is what to expect when you start training, hopefully this answers your question: th-cam.com/video/tsYDdAeXPZ4/w-d-xo.html
Great! Now I'm confident I'll pass my initial airline training. Oh wait, I'm in my 40s and I've never flown a plane. Why am I watching this again?!
Lol. I am 39 and just watched his video on, Are you too old to become a pilot? Watch it as a career statement, 62 - (Your age) And I wanted to until I realized, while downsized due to COVID that switching careers to Aviation was not a plausible one. I need income and not an expense to just get started.
K great video. Thanks for posting, be safe
appreciate it man!
love your videos man. Please make videos from the cockpit explaining systems and specially from your landings and takeoffs.
Thanks
In the next two videos I will have a video talking about the 747 MCP which is pretty technical on aspects of the 747 system. So stay tuned for that and I hope you like it, thanks for commenting and subscribing. I am glad you are enjoying the channel
@@74gear yes explaining the systems would be perfect. my suggestion if I may is to make separate videos for different systems of the 747 as I've never seen that for this specific aircraft.
Thank you again
Hey kelsey, Im 14 and love your videos they are great. Its giving me more info about becoming a pilot so thanks keep up the videos!
thanks for watching Kevin, I have some cool aircraft systems videos coming out later this month so those will be great for you.
Also 14 into aviation since I was 7 or 8 I want to be 737 pilot but what is the shots all about for international flights ??
I believe in the future that I will be in the Aviation. Love it. Capt 747 your videos are just amazing. Am a guy who is also over prepared
than I am sure you will do great when you get your opportunity in aviation.
Anyone else watching that isnt a pilot?
Me me me me
yeah
yes
Did you also see the title of the video and think "No. Good thing I'm not training to be a pilot"?
I am a self-proclamed pilot, with a degree from TH-cam aviation school.
Great job! I also think that prepare ahead studying and watching information videos will not only prepare the pilot better for the tests, but will make him or her a better pilot. I would appreciate some hints, besides your channal, on what to read or whatch to prepare, or have a general idea, before those three or four months of training. Question: When one prepares for a B737 systems, will it be easier for the others? Keep up thr good work. Thank you.
Yes... Me. I love watching kelsey.
being one step ahead in airline training is vital, last thing you want is getting bombarded by new complicated infromation, specially the time span, airline training lasts up to 3-6 months, and the amount of knowledge youre gonna recieve is comparable to an entire 4year college course
Pretty cool
Some good advice there.
Excellent work captain......do some videos about 747...systems or Anything related to 747
funny you mention that, I am editing one right now about a very specific part of the 74.
Veeravignesh Kumar I think he's a first officer
@@74gear hi Kelsey do you know whether it's possible for a junior pilot to always avoid flying on Saturday if he is an observant jew, (perhaps trading shifts with other pilots) ?
@@urielaz2402 Always probably not. Unless you work for a jewish airline
@@captaindasbomb6862 Thank you captain
Done watching. Always looking forward for a new video.
appreciate it Solism, glad you like it.
Great advice your video was awesome😁😁😁
Glad it was helpful Michael!! I appreciate it.
Thanks alot for the advice. Hope to be a captain one day. Much love ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you liked it Hamdan.
bless you
Nice tips thanks
glad you liked them Juliano.
kelsey excellent brother. thank you
glad it was helpful Thanak. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
This was so interesting! Nice to learn about the training and what one has to go through. Funny story about the injection....
glad you liked it so did my friend who it was about he texted me 🤣
great and straight to the point, and THANK you for not having some doofy technopop musak in the background
Excellent...Excellent video FO. Kelsey. You are spectacular when it comes to these extremely informative aviation videos. You have me taking notes now and i'm taking my commericial/ multi checkride soon.
A quick point, I wonder why an individual would not take this serious when it takes so much just to be in that position. Why would a person even bother becoming a professional aviator if that individual is not going to take it seriously...makes no sense. Thanks once again Kelsey
ya I can't explain why someone would get a few thousand hours just to be lazy, but as long as you aren't that guy it doesn't matter, thanks for watching Capt.
Thank you sir
This is good advice for many real life situations.
Glad you liked it Isa.
Very nice video
appreciate it John.
Great video.
appreciate it Cuban.
@@74gear np hun.
Good one
Thanks Abdullah.
I start training at ATP in a few months so excited!!!
very cool Kyle should be a bunch of useful videos in here for you! Have fun and let me know if you have any questions.
I’m a student with atp on my third week. Make sure you study hard before you show up
Buckle down and get focused and ween off the social media. It’ll ruin you if not. This is serous stuff and requires a HUGE PASSION and commitment.
Bosco Chowdhury hello Bosco. I start ATP in October 2019 at the Fort Lauderdale location. I’m going to start with zero hours , I’m very excited but a lil nervous at the same time. How’s everything going for you? Any recommendations for me ?

there are other videos out there that show new pilots going through line training....see their first flights with training CPTs, etc!!!!

You should talk about some of your personal experiences in flying, like the first solo, IOE. Something along the lines of that
I did that a bit in a very early video I did here: th-cam.com/video/sSi3uyTYUp8/w-d-xo.html
it was one of the first videos I did so production and editing wasn't that great but ya its something I am going to get more into later this year for sure. Thanks for the recommendation Will!
Hey Kelsey! Great Vid. Question, Are you able to afford an appartment or home after you finish flight school...Become a co-pilot... become a Private Pilot?
Another great video, Kelsey! I was wondering, how do you know what plane you'll be flying, whether it's at the regionals or the airlines?
in some cases you are assigned it before training. In some cases that regional only has one type or you plan to request that type and you know you will get it. Or if you don't know any of that information than you can't really prepare too much but usually you will have adequate time to study and use the tools I talk about in the checkride prep video.
awesome videos, just subscribed. Random question, I am seeking a career change, finishing the private that I started years ago. Planning and thinking ahead, were you being paid the entire time during training after being hired by the regional (even though the group was given a few weeks off)?
*rubs hands together*
time to get motivated again 💪🏽
again....??? Come on bro, you're almost 2/3 done.
74 Gear I’m good but sheesh more exams and checkrides 😂
welcome to the rest of your life in aviation bro!
Can you make a video about the 737 MAX and the MCAS system with the stalling issues the plane has had in the recent Ethiopian airliner crash?
I am going to let the investigators do their research on that before I start publicly making statements.
The Mentorpilot has done a great job explaining that.
Blancolirio is your best source for 737 Max info.
I would like to know if you had to pay for the training, or how can you start learning to fly ?
That would be the worst, put in all that time and effort to get to the airline to not put in just a little bit more to get it done and wash out. I imagine you have all the time in the world for trips and slacking off after you have completed training and on your days off. What a bummer. Great video and insight. Hopefully it'll help someone see what not to do. Keep up the great work.
It would be kinda cool if you could say something in your video intro like" Coming to your from Dallas" or "From Paris" or wherever you may be. Would be cool to be able to see where your travels take you. Just a idea.
🤔 I thought of doing that at the beginning when I first started Josh, but then I wanted to make the video as concise as possible more about getting the viewers the info they need not about what I am doing or where I am going... but maybe in the future ya.
Dude, this guy never blinks.
Hahahahaha u rigth!
What Kelsey's saying is, he's not the smartest guy ever but he's a gosh darned PRO.
You asked what about this makes me the most nervous?It is definitely being washed out. I love aviation, am a good pilot and I am self-disciplined, but I am also timid about not being able to meet the standards. Maybe it's just part of being a paranoid pilot? Could you talk about the washouts a little bit more?
The path is long hard and the road is narrow
Back when I was a gate agent at US Airway, Air Whisky was the only airline I knew that was actively hiring co-pilots, but 20k your first year?! yikes! I am sure flight school cost that much. As far as the depiction of the guy who didn't like getting shots. That reminds me of a story my wife told me of a guy who behaved that way at her job where she was a Dental Assistant, the guy was crying about he didn't like needles, but guess what? The guy was covered in tattoos...um, last time I checked tattoos involve needles.
ya initial pay for pilots has changed a lot over the years, I actually made a pilot pay video where I talk about how much it has changed
Nice
thanks Flying.
I was landing a 747 at JFK in Xplane 11, and for some reason the keybind for reverse thrust stopped working.
This was 31R, the shortest for JFK but it can still handle the 747, I almost overran the runway
Could you do...or
would you do a video on.....911...???
The four Aircraft...etc. etc. etc....???
A review on the recorded (tapes) from the ATC....?????
What are the skills that you consider a pilot should have? Do you think a person like me, who is afraid of hights can be a pilot? I'm afraid of hights, but it's weird because I'm not afraid to ride airplanes...and I'm considering to take a discovering flight
I’m most nervous about everything I have to remember for the orals. I’m midway through my instrument rating now and haven’t failed an oral yet but, I really struggle in them even though I study like crazy.
Hey bill, just do the things I talk about in this video and hopefully it will help: th-cam.com/video/SjytS7xiCFo/w-d-xo.html let me know if that helps at all.
Do you need to have 1500 flight hours to become a cargo pilot similar to the qualification to need for a regional pilot? Can you please explain the difference between the two and which one is better? Thanks
Just found your channel and really enjoy the content but I do have a question do they make exception for people to get trained and become a pilot that depend on glasses but with glasses they have good vision and if not would they allow someone who had surgery to correct their vision so they no longer need glasses
I'm 42 now and to be honest all the hours I put into flight sims on pc as a kid until my 20s gave me a slight edge during training.
Yep. I've heard the same thing from several pilots that had put a LOT of ours on Flight Simulator. The latest versions are so sophisticated that you really do feel that you are flying an aircraft, and if you screw up - you're down.
Can you do a video of you giving some advices for new students who are just doing their private license?
I did that a few months ago Kirollos: th-cam.com/video/tsYDdAeXPZ4/w-d-xo.html hope that helps.
Why do international crews have to take shots when passengers don't ?
Hi kelsey,thank you for your valuable videos. I Will start my aviation in canada and after getting ou first job as a first officer in a regional canadien airline .my question is : what is the faster path to get a job in china because as i know they pay Well. What i need to do to become an a320 or b737 captain or first officer or maybe for CRJ AND EMBREAR
well you have a ways to go to get a job as a captain in China on those planes but here is what I would do watch this video and make the path you want for yourself; th-cam.com/video/SOIY05qreRc/w-d-xo.html
I know I am kinda late but you pay for the airline training or get paid?
yes im prepar3d
Do you have Any videos of you flying?
That will be exactly when I get up and walk off the plane.
what will make you get up and walk off?
My concern is my age (50) and being able to assimilate all of the information. Granted, I was an aircraft mechanic for the Dept of Defense for 13 years (then 18 years in IT) and will be "beginning" with credit for private pilots certificate at ATP in May. Right now I am finishing the last 2 university courses for my bachelors over the next 8 weeks. Hopefully taking the university level courses for the past couple of years will help keep me in school mode and it wont seem so bad. Any tips or things to consider as I make this leap? Ive been trying to watch and absorb as much as I can from channels such as yours :)
I think you are right that your Brain is still in learning mode it will help. Older guys I have seen struggle haven't been studying for a long time. They're brain is "out of shape" so that will help. As for what to expect on your private its in this video : th-cam.com/video/tsYDdAeXPZ4/w-d-xo.html
and other than that if you have watched the videos on studying for your checkride I did I think you are in great shape. Just study and prepare and put in the work. You have some life experience which will make you more disciplined to get the studying in and let me know if you have questions along the way. Thanks for your years of service.
You can DEFINITELY do this. You have lots of relevant experience and obvious self-discipline.
Thanks, I have about 160 hours total time with private pilot. I'm meeting up with a club CFI to knock some rust off, go through everything to freshen up my PP knowledge and build cross country time.
The one thing I've learned from these videos is that pilots are on the road a lot. (Background is always a hotel room).
well that just because I have long overnights so it gives me something to do on them.
I figured as much.....good videos!
Thanks for the video Kelsey. I'm an electrician, but, at 26, I hate it and I've been thinking about going to flight school.
I'm not really sure I'd be a good fit for a commercial airline, but the thought of being a Bush pilot up north or a local pilot sounds fun.
I don't think the airlines would hire someone who legally medicates with MJ. So, that's one reason why I'm not yet confident in the career change.
Does it seem feasible to pursue this or should I give my hopes up?
Thanks!
if MJ is marijuana than I am pretty confident the airlines won't be allowed to legally hire you based on DOT restrictions. Same as if you wanted to be a truck driver. That of course is my assumption you could research it more and confirm what I am saying if you want to be sure.
Hello kelsey. I did my high school diploma so what to do next to be a pilot?
Do you have any recommendations on how to combat fading? I frequently find myself knowing something a year ago and thinking "man i used to know this why cant i think of it" which sucks in a field that piggy backs off previous fundamentals and knowledge for new concepts.
just repetition pounds. You are always going to forget things you don't use. Try to do your training intensely if able and keep practicing so you are fresh.
Any comments on the new Boeing that just got banned from the majority of the European airspace? Is it possible that it could actually be faulty? Or that it has a different behavior than pilots are used to? New video idea :) Awesome videos btw.
Those crashes are still a bit fresh for me to get into them, it may be something I do in the future but for now I am not planning to do it. We will see but thanks for recommending me an idea.
Well it looks like my autism will come in handy when I eventually upgrade my PPL to an ATPL, back in high school Iused to overstudy for exams beyond most levels of insanity, I also did it in flight school, and Il be doing it again when I upgrade my licence to ATPL and start looking for work as a pilot
I think you are now my favorite aviation TH-camr (even if you never blink lol)
🤣 if I blink I may miss something, happy to have you part of the 74 crew MWB
@@74gear and I look forward to being here
Hey what happens when you wash out. Do you get to go back and do it again or do they have to apply for a new airline
You repeat and pay more money. But know that the FAA tracks your record. So, if you fail the 1st time be ready to have to compensate for it. If you fail because of X, better be ready to compensate for it. Score a failing grade and then ace it the second time around. Once your are a pilot do not EVER make that mistake again.
Im just a 13 year old that wants to be a pilot when he grows up
Just curious is your salary in the six figure range?
what book or ebook did you use for pre-study of 74 systems? And did you know the specific model you would be flying? Or did the company send you the training materials weeks in advance?? Thanks
I didn't get one for the 74, but usually bigger planes are easier because you have studied many different plane systems before so it makes it easier. Most other airlines that are dealing with newer pilots will have materials to send you before training to pre study. If not asking won't hurt.
My comment....Comin up.... Yes I am. I just don't have the money.
What should fresh graduated CPL pilot do to get their first job?
find out how many flight hours a month cfis get at your flight school. if they get at least 75 to 80+ flight hours a month, be a cfi with them for maybe a couple years or so then you'll get to 1500
Ya what A10 said, apply everywhere and just start building time as quickly as possible after 1000 hours you have a lot more opportunities. First job is definitely the hardest to get!
Is there a section of the exam dedicated to what to do in emergency Situations. For example, what to do if you loose an engine, or is that all simulator training?
its all part of the simulator training and than you do 1 or 2 annual exams after that so you stay sharp.
