My First Time Flying A Jet - Boeing 737 Base Training
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- Recently I passed my Boeing 737 type rating skill test and today is a very special day. I'll be flying the Base training at Shannon (EINN/SNN) airport in Ireland - my first time at the controls of the real aircraft. The plan is to perform 5 touch and goes, one go around and a full stop landing under the supervision of an experienced captain and safety pilot. It's quite a surreal feeling sitting in the right seat rolling onto the runway for the first time - but I was mainly really excited to finally be able to fullfill my dream. Many hours of studying and lots of simulator sessions have all led to this moment. After a short wait we received our take off clearance - and "I have control".
The 737 handles beautifully, I really enjoyed my time at the controls - it's a very rewarding aircraft to fly. But that's it for now, next up is flying with passengers during line training, see you on board!
Thanks for watching, and if you have any feedback or questions, just let me know!

Well that destroys the myth that Ryanair pilots do hard landings. 5 excellent touchdowns. Congratulations.
Haha, thank you very much!
I totally agree. And even in somewhat rainy and gray conditions too
and now, he needs to do hard landings in order to pass with ryanair. lmao
It takes great skill and ability to handle a multi- million pound machine like the Boeing.
They definitely do, though! 😂
I am a retired airline pilot. I remember my first takeoff and landing in a DC9 over 40 years ago like it was yesterday. Enjoy your career , I loved every day.
Great to see new pilots get immediately 5 landings and take offs. Practice is everything.
It definitely is!
Hi Jonathan. Peter here if this is the footage I shot then I was so happy to be of help to you.
Hi, it sure is - thanks again for the help!
Thnks for the amazing footage peter
Those landings were top notch, I can’t believe this was your first time flying a full size aircraft, I know you were in the simulator but wow!
They say no two landings are the same but you’re showing great consistency there, especially on your first outing. An experience you’ll never forget throughout your flying career! You greased that full-stop landing in particular. Even the most experienced pilot would be proud of that one. Well done!
Cheers, thank you!
Well done Pilot Jonathan 🎉
Well done! Congratulations!🎉
Don't forget that all the landings were at the same airport in a very short space of time so the conditions would probably have been close to identical each time. Still very well executed.
Congratulations Jonathan - I'm a train driver and I'll never forget the first time I drove on the mainline for the first time. All that hard work in the classroom becomes so worth it and the novelty never wears off.
Great job, greased them in, splash two. Not even any smoke from mains when touching down. Flew it like you own it.
Congratulations and don’t forget to keep the legacy of hard landings going!
I’m a 17 year old in flight training in New Zealand. I’m also a flight instructor so i can bring my hours up and get into airlines easier. My dream is to fly Qantas future A350-1000s. It’s so cool to see you finally in a jet after all of your flight training, tests and exams well done you earned it❤👍I’ve watched your channel for 2 years now ❤
Oh man my dream is the singapore airlines a 350
But im in Australia currently.
Congratulations sir! I am inspired by people who follow their dream like you. Thank you for including me on your journey.
Thank you for watching!
Bravo !! Well done. I remember my Dad driving me to the airport, as I was too young to drive in 1972 for flying lessons. 8 British pounds an hour back then to fly a C150 with Instructor. !!....simply wonderful ! I am so glad for you.
My goodness those landings were very good for first time? Impressive...The EJ guy on the TV show couldnt get it so quick. Amazing.
Haha thank you!
It’s always a fantastic feeling when all your hard work has paid off. You will be a great first officer and future captain
sat glued to this! Grand job and some beautiful touchdowns. Great Great Video! All the best in your aviation career.
Shannon is my local airport i watch the patterns all the time thanks for the insight!
Congrats! I had my base training on the A320 in January, it’s something no pilot will ever forget
Dritter Streifen incoming :D Klasse Landungen Jonfel. Gratulation und viele schöne Stunden auf dem Muster.
Vielen Dank!
Congratulations! I think your future passengers will be in good hands. 🥂
Thank you!
What everyone else said...great landings and smooth takeoffs too. You are a natural. .
Congrats, i remember my first flight back in the 90s ... on the 737-200 ... amazing feeling. -Your next goal, the left seat!👌👌👌
Congratulations! Jonathan, I’m very happy for you 😁
Very well done on the landings! It's been great to follow the story from the beginning when you were still doing ground school and now you're managing to land a "big" commercial jet. Congrats!
Congrats!
Very nice of you to share your journey from flight school all the way to this point. Need more people like you!
Really greased those landings.
Thank you very much!
Con ❤️ratulations!!! I loved your landings and takeoffs!
Fantastic. So happy for you to have come this far! Well done. And so cool to have had all your handy work captured on video for future posterity.
Great time for aspiring pilots! Ryanair, Aer Lingus, and British Airways have all recently been recruiting cadets😊
Nicely done! Wishing you many happy landings.
Smoothest Ryanair landing I've ever seen.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH- coming from someone who has a fear of flying. I wish it felt like the way it looks in my head. I literally overthink the whole process of flying 😭
Congratulations! Jonathan, I’m very happy for you . Good Job
Well done sir and congratulations on following your dreams.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 Enjoyed watching the touch and goes. You could see the landings getting smoother after each one.
Congratulations Jonathan! Safe flights! ✈️🙌🏾
Major milestone passed ! Congrats !!
Well done Jonathan...great future ahead of you.
CONGRATULATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Feeling proud for someone I've never met is such a profound feeling. Good job mate.
That was very impressive, hope you enjoy your future career!
Congratulations!! What a great video. I can tell the training is going well as I’m hearing west-of-Ireland seep in to your accent.
Thank you! 😂
I'm currently doing my ATPL's, watching this gives me so much motivation to be in your position in a couple of years. Good job man, you're living my dream
Good luck for your exams!
I hate this stupid myth that some Airlines have better pilots than others. The training is the same for every airline and pilot. These guys are trained to an extremely high level and are very professional people. As far as I am concerned they deserve every penny they get and in a lot of cases deserve a lot more. Great video 👍
No, training is not the same, there different trainings and programs, nor hiring minimums. Ryanair, you get hired with 250 hours of small prop, that’s it, southwest you need at least 1500 hours of which 500 in a fixed wing turbine aircraft but realistically you are competitive only around 3000 hours total time and 1000 hours turbine. No airlines are not all the same
@@SC-dp1gv each type rating requires a minimum standard to be reached in both hours and proficiency. That’s the point I was making
@@BrianMcCann421 the point that I'm making is that for example aqp training is completely different from a standard initial, so yes we need to show proficiency, how many options we have to reach proficiency and how that proficiency could be reached is completely different. If you have two shots to do a maneuver correctly or if you have almost indefinite attempts to make it makes a huge difference, there are easier trainings than others, and I don't wanna open the can of worms of the so called "just checking boxes trainings"...oh dei hirings and all that shxxt
Obviously some airlines have better pilots than others. Guy i know was the last RAF slingshot takeoff and had completed thousand of hours before even considering commercial, tbh hes actually put me off flying with some of the green pilot stories he has told me
It's not a myth.
Congratulations, I remember when my son was doing his base training back in 2014 in a A320 at Doncaster. All the very best with your career. Great landings
Good, good landings. Very smooth ones. Congratulations and good luck in your airlines career.
Congrat! Nice Landing and takeoffs wish you a nice time on the B737
Wonderful video, wonderful pilot, thanks for sharing, may you have a super career and 100s of flights. Dedication and hard as you say you must be very proud I tip my hat Sir, happy landings, take care.
Bravo!!!!! if I had not known better I would have thought you were a seasoned pilot, congrats job well done
You've done well mate, congratulations !
It has been fun watching your progress
Well done - super landings to watch.
Congratulations and well done. Wishing you many safe and enjoyable flying hours.
Wow, you were amazing! Thank you so much for bringing us with you on this epic step in your career! Wish you all the best! ❤
Congratulations and best of luck going forward. Wishing you happy takeoffs and landings
Thank you very much!
Congratulations Jonathan ill see you somewhere in the network 🎉
Thank you!
Butter followed by a rocket launch!!!
It definitely felt like a rocket - lots of excess power when it's empty!
Well done and nice accurate landings too, it's a big step in any pilot's career. I recall going from the Beechcraft Baron to the Boeing 707 in 1971 before we had the quality simulators which we have today - good game! We did a lot more on the aircraft base training including dutch roll recovery and mach tuck.
Great at of all your landings. Your number 4&5 landings were spot on. Many times flying into Shannon. Probably the most hospitable and professional ground handlers ever even during winter storms.
Congratulations !!! Well done 👍
This is extremely cool to see someone so young being able to handle a whole B737 like it's an every day drive! It really give's me that extra boost of motivation to carry on with my studies and get perfect grade's at school to therefore move on into flight school. Keep doing what your doing because it's great!
This is so great. Thank you for sharing!
Well done Sir!!! You have done your family proud 😄 Good luck with the rest of your training... with such a good start you'll come through in grand style!! 👍🏼
well done Sir! Your family are surely very proud of your achievement. Good luck for the future 👍🏼
We are!
Congratulations Jonathan, all the best to you in your new career
Absolutely fantastic, nice circuits and landings Jonathan. Great video capturing too 👏
Congratulations on your first flight. You did fantastic.
You'll never be a Ryanair pilot, far too smooth!
In all seriousness, you did incredibly well for your first time in a real aircraft. Well done
Best of luck and safe flying to you 👍👍 whatever about the time fly safe . Shannon has a long runway ideal for touch and go.
An absolutely beautiful moment for you, can't believe how surreal it must have felt - keep it up, amazing work!
Congratulations 👍 hope the rest of training go so well.
Whow, new sub from The Netherlands. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for taking us along!
proper butter landings! onward and upward.
congratulations!
Well done ! All the best in your future career 👍
Brilliant. Well done!
Congratulations! Well done!
It's amazing to see more and more pilots!!
Well done young man and I hope you have a very prosperous career 👍
Thank you!
Great stuff. As someone who only ever flew single
Piston engine A/C, your landings seemed quite impressive. Your ground school & sim sessions obviously paid off. Not sure if it was someone with the airline or a friend/family member that stood outside in the weather to film this, but it’s so cool you have the footage. Kudos to them, as well. Safe flying!
Well done young man, you are and you should be proud of yourself. I wish you the very best. 👍
Amazing. Well done Jonathan!
Incredible, amazing to see this great work ! 🤩
Congratulations! What a brilliant video. I’m now following your channel.
Congratulations on achieving your dream. Nice landings too !
Congratulations Jonathan and good luck with your Line Training 🙂
Cheers thank you! 😁
Congratulations! This is fantastic!!
Well done mate, I did my Ryanair base training back in 2010 at EMA, how time has flown! Ryanair is a very good place to get your career started and looks like you're nailing those landings already.
Cheers, thank you! Looking forward to flying on the line!
@@PilotJonathan Where are you doing line training?
@pilotho Don't know yet
@@pilotho If i was a betting man I'd say DUB or STN
I did mine in LTN, so you never know. It was a great base.
Very motivating. I’m currently a little over 40hrs in c172s.
Can’t wait to get there.
It's amazing that you got to capture this moment on film to look back on throughout your career.
This was so inspiring to watch - thank you Jonathan!
Excellent landings. Well done!
Well done Jonathan, beautiful work.
Buttery landings, well done indeed.
Congratulations man , you're a lucky guy!, beautiful touchdowns man.
Well done Fella, It must have been a lot of pressure on you having an experienced 737 captain and a safety pilot watching your every move! And your full stop landing was super greased! Congrats, Subbed and liked and look forward to more of your 737 adventures 👌
Wow Jonathan, congratulations and well done. We always fly ryanair. Looks like you will do a great job. Good luck 🍀😊
Huge congratulations Jonathan
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Awesome, mate! Enjoy your line training and good luck with the base assignment!
Thanks!
Excellent flying and a pleasure to watch, hope you have a safe and full filling career
Congratulations !!!!!!!!!🍾🎈
Great job. Well done!
