What type of person do YOU need to be in order to be successful in the aviation business? What do you need to do/think/feel in order to thrive in this fantastic business?
This is whay I will be covering in this re-make of the video originally aired in January 2016. I do appologise for the audio in the clip, my channel has evolved a bit since this video was made but the message is still true.
I will go on vacation now to charge my batteries but I will be back with fresh new material, very soon!

I love aviation. I am 14 years old, and sadly, the last time I have ever flown was when was 5. My parents don't want me to become a pilot because they think it is dangerous. I love to watch planes from a distance, fly RC planes and drones, and I love watching videos about airplanes. I hope I can make enough money to pay for flight school myself. This video was enough to motivate me towards my dream. Thank you Mentour! :)
Diegothepianokid03 I am also 14, and my dream is to become an airline pilot, but sadly my mom does not want me to become a pilot because she thinks it’s dangerous. My dad supports me tho.
SC TUBE it can be sad sometimes. My mom doesn’t care when I even talk about airplanes. My dad will listen, but he thinks it is dangerous. Just keep trying.
Diegothepianokid03 remember that we are only 14, and since we have a dream from this age, our dream will most likely come true. Just keep believing in your self
SC TUBE couldn’t agree more. Nice to see someone my age in the same situation. :)
Diegothepianokid03 👍🏻. Where do you live? I live in Norway, and here I have all the possibility to become a pilot. Hope that it’s the same for you.
I start flight school in 3 weeks to become an airline pilot, very excited.
Excellent! Best of luck!
CmdrJace congrats! What flight school you going to?
CTI Professional Flight Training
Are you taking EASA atpl?
Awesome! Good luck!
46 yeards old and studying for the ATPL, with desire and determination everything is possible in this life
1. A LOT of money, 2. Be single or have a understanding family :-)
That’s good, yes but not personality traits.
Haha no, but those two are necessary to become a professionel pilot these days I think :-) Its very expensive and you don't choose you own base. :-)
MSI Aviation Videography pilot Lisence and TR costs total around 80-90 maybe even 100K euro
I funded my son all the way through his training to CPL/IR/ATPL theory/MCC/JOC with CTC and Simtech. Total cost GBP150000. He did not get an airline job straight way but after about 10 months was successful in getting a First Officer position with well known UK airline who also funded his type rating on A320/321. Don't let anyone kid you; you and/or your parents need to be aware that it is very expensive to train to be an airline pilot and although we like to believe that we live in a meritocracy you will not get very far without deep pockets. Enjoy!
MSI Aviation Videography if you have knowledge you will go to work to get money. And then go to get PPL. In my country it's a but 15 000 to 20 000 €. It's like 7 years salary. For avarige. And it's only PPL. Not ATPL or CPL
Not only good advice for this career, but sage advice for life.
Yes, I would like to think that these advice would work for most things.
Im 33 and just started my PPL training. Thank you for a great channel.
I'm 17 and I have always wanted to be a pilot since I was a kid. I really appreciate your motivation and the things you talked about in this video. Thanks again !
Wow, I'm looking through all these comments and I am amazed at the amazing interaction with your audience
I’m always trying to answer the comments. Especially on release day when I’m sitting in front of the computer.
Thanks for this video. Im actually 32 years old. Im paramedic and telecommunications technician. And im near to my PPL . Greetings from Argentina .never is too late!
Excellent! Best of luck my friend!
As someone who's starting a university/flight school program next week, this actually provided some useful insight as to what's ahead of me. Much appreciated.
8. Being able to sit still for hours doing nothing by scanning you're instruments.
That is the one skill I do not have and was the main reason why I was turned down for the KLM flight academy (15 yearsa ago). But I still had my PPL (twin engine certified) and from time to time, I get to fly 'home' aircraft that are time-shared. So a pilot flies to Madrid for a a three week vacation, than I will join him and once he is on his destination, I fly the aircraft back, so the aircraft is available to other members of the time-share club. Sometimes I get to take a commercial flight. The thing I like about this, is that I get to fly a lot of different aircraft..
Sounds great!
I have never thought about becoming a pilot but these things are exactly my cup of tea 🤔 thank you for putting it into perspective!
Not "potential low points" you WILL have low points (and lots of paper work) .but determination is key
True.
As C.W. Lemoine says - “make em tell you no.” You have to keep asking and force someone to firmly tell you “no” when you ask for that job!
My own path into aviation was the U.S. Air Force. They agreed with your 7 points, by the way, and taught us to be the best pilots in the world and team players as well.
Excellent! I’m happy to hear that.
very lucid and clear explanations , congratulations to the mentour team. I love airplanes and wanted to become a pilot but destiny overuled and i became a emergency physician , this channel has given me the chance to learn so much about flying .
well done
I am 15, and starting my PPL training very soon, and watching these videos are extremely helpful as the amount of focus and commitment is relatively high going through training. Thanks for the great info👌👌
Great! Best of luck!
Mentour Pilot Thanks a lot! 👌
Lucian Blignaut Could you please inform me in which institute are you starting your PPL training. It would help me immensely.
Farhad mirza I am training in Cape Town, South Africa at the Cape Town Flight Training Centre.
@@lucianblignaut6726 How is it going now, Lucian? Hope all is well :)
I am 32, started my training in Florida, Lakeland. Thanks for the tips... My wife and son with me, she understands what i wish, supports and folow me.
Excellent. That is crucial in order to succeed and maintain happiness.
How are you now?
He is absolutely correct. You have to the determination and a plan. DO NOT GIVE UP or give in too any unnecessary distractions.
"Mentour" ---> No other adjective could be more deserved! The way you explain things is just perfect!
Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you sir . Really helpful and as always we got quality material.
Awesome video. I will keep all of this in mind :D
Also enjoy your 2 week vacation!
Thank you! I will
As for video suggestion, what about the opposite of this? I.e “common weaknesses and how to get over them”
Great idea!
Mentour Pilot yeah please do this suggestion video :)
That would be great to know! Thank you for the great work!
yes we are looking forward to watching that video
haven’t seen one of your videos in a while. wow i’ve missed big time , keep them coming :)
Great! Time to binge-watch!
Thank you Capt. It was so useful. Good to know these traits. Huge thanks😎
Thank YOU for watching the video.
Good video. Nice dose of reality to make it in this business. It’s not enough to have a CPL MEIR or even an ATPL. The soft skills he talks about are more important for an airline pilot than say a accountant. Rejection is hard for some especially when they spend $100k+ on training and can’t get a job and end up working minimum wage as a Uber driver.
Ur Words are encouraging the aviator inside me ..Thanks a lot sir
I have cleared the selection process for a cadet pilot program and I completely understand what you mean by the "Stress test"! A very nice experience, indeed.
As always, a fantastic post! 😄🌸
As long as you keep going it will happen for sure!
Really amazing and helpful video.... It is one of my motivational videos that i like the most so far... So thank you as always Mentour...[👍👍👍]
Great! It’s an old goodie but it still holds true.
Thank you your for this video this really helped me figure out what I should major in and some of the steps.
Your explanation makes these attributes soo much more easier to attain. Other people overcomplicate these attributes
Thank you for this great video, it was very interesting and it will help me a lot!
Good, that’s what I was hoping for!
Wonderful series
Thank you sir! Really motivating
Great to hear that you liked it! Go for it!
As always, excellent video! I think what Petter says about previous work experience is important. Doesn't have to be a doctor.... I would say some years at something like McDonald's/Burger King is good training. You will work in a team under, sometimes, stressful situations. Strange working hours... You will learn to deal with all sorts of people, happy or angry :-)
extremely helpful, thanks Mentour!
Great advice. Nice channel.
Hi Petter thanks for the video and keep going Hope you have a fantastic evening
Thank YOU! I wil.
Mentour Pilot do your know Bob Ross?
Love these videos!
Great! It’s old but still true.
Great video Mentour!
Thank you!
I loved your entry, you just spotted me 😝😀👍
All amazing steps in order to become an airline pilot :)
Really good sound advice. Can be used across all forms of work actually. Thank you Petter🙏👍
It’s an old video, but the advice should still hold true 💕
@@MentourPilot It sure does 👏👏
@@MentourPilot An old video perhaps, but currently of more use to me than current ones. I’m curious about flying under normal conditions. The everyday for pilots and cabin crew rather than the disasters where the engines are exploding or the aircraft is being torn apart.
Not that I would ever want to become a pilot-there are multiple reasons why, and I’m quite content as ground crew. But I’m curious and your channel is one of the most comprehensive sources of information.
Really great and helpful video. Thx.
My friend u r amazing to narrate the facts and make them easy to understand. I just love u. I am an art teacher despite having great interest in aviation but do not from a rich family and 32 now from india. How could it be possible to me become a first officer.
Pretty much true of most professional / high-skill jobs.
I am pretty much sure that a video already exist on the subject but do not forget the medical requirements... Long ago I entered the Sabena Flying School but unfortunately I failed the medical tests due to a problem of stereoscopy at the eyes.. Now train driver and of course still aviation enthousiast.. Thank you for your videos ;-)
We'll keep trying man good luck
Good advice. Thanks.
Classic Swedish Monty Python tagline: 'and now for something sightly different' ;-) Thanks for another great video.
Can you do a video about the center panel (Radio frequency things) and also those little screens that have letters and numbers on them (It has a green-colored screen) please? It would be very appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work! :)
Hi Mentour, enjoy your holiday
Very very nice video so many people can get help from this video
Great video.☺️
I am just studying MBBS i am most afraid is not able to become pilot after completing MBBS dur to age but this video proof i can also able to become pilot THANK YOU SIR
Love yr show bro..
I remember that you said you would upload this video during the Instagram live stream, sad that you couldn't answer the many questions that I saw. Also, it's good you're trying to get girls into the aviation industry.
Sometimes the amount of questions are overwhelming. That’s why I concentrate on answering the super-chat questions and app-questions.
Lookout Mentour , plane behind you! 😅😅
Hahaha!.... eh... really?
Thank you captain, for your valuable advices. I've just wondering some tricks about the last topic, for example what kind of psychological reactions or answers expecting from us at the interviews are they ? Maybe this question can be a part of an idea for your upcoming videos. Hereby, we could get closer one more step on ours targets :)
Thanks a lot again for the advices,
Best regards from Turkey.
Nice video!!!
Could be interesting when you back to work. And that old one on a chain of errors (can a circuit breaker cause a crash) sent well down a rabbit hole. A long , long chain.
Great video :)
I think becoming a military pilot would be a great way to get into aviation. You won't have to pay for the training yourself plus get great experience!
You are great ! Thanks a lot
Number 1 you will be carrying Brazil on your plane tonight.
I'm not a pilot but I imagine one would have to be incredibly responsible. Checklists must be followed.
I am also on vacation in Sweden right now
At least you are in your pyjamas this time haha, anyway great job Petter
Hi Mentour!! Could you please describe in detail how the cabin smoke removal procedure is done on a 73? Thank you.
More videos of physical features on the 737 please! :D
Any requests?
Amazing video once again!!!. Can i ask something about your career? That how long have you been working on the aviation industry? When did you decide to start and have you made any critical mistake during your career? Thank you sir, hoping for some more great video contents.
16 years so far without any critical mistakes so far. (Knock wood)
Mentour Pilot When did you decide to join, sir? I need some advice along the way. I'm currently 22 y/o and going to Australia to take part in the pilot course.
1: Have A LOT of money to begin with
2: Be under 30
3: Be good at math
4: Be in good health
5: Be prepared to not sleep very well... Yet to be fully alert when in the cockpit, also endure jet lag.
6: Be prepared to face authoritarian captains in some unfortunate cases (Even flight instructors !)
7: Be prepared to work during holidays, and during the weekends
Lmao two out of seven! I’m glad that I have absolutely no desire to become a pilot. I’m just curious.
great video!!! I also want to be a pilot even though I am only 10 years old
Hey, Mentor pilot! Great informative videos sir. I love them. Are there any other jobs which are very close to being a pilot if your eyesight isn't good enough? Does 20/20 vision apply to second officers/ flight engineers as well? Thanks!
You don’t need 20/20 vision. You are allowed to wear glasses, I do!
Mentour Pilot ok, thanks...that just raised my hopes...
1: m
2: o
3: n
4: e
5: y
6: $
7: a license.
really helpful 😊
Maganda,nice
Pinoy!!
Hi could you teach us how to do a vfr navigation log and make the proper correction for the errors ? I would be very grateful if you would help us :) Continue with those amazing videos. Regards ✌
Heyo just found your channel bro I love it haha, I got a dream of joining the Air Force, and the point of being able to communicate tho like I got autism and I rly don’t want that to stop me from being able to succeed as a fighter pilot because that’s been my dream since I was a toddler. Got any tips on how to improve?
Cool sunglasses.
Can you make a video about Autopilot? Which systems does it use? For instance does it use asymmetric engine thrust to perform turns? Yes, no, why not, would it be less efficient/dangerous? Thanks!
No, it only uses the rudders, not asymmetric thrust.
I will get into the AP system eventually
Really helpful for this 13 yr old aviator...thanks for the info our greatest sir!
You are more than welcome!
Same dude
same im 13 too
Same here, thanks Mentour
Jack Ballard same here,i am 13 too love your videos Mentour!
I want to become an airline pilot (even just regional) when I retire from the military in 8 years. I have single engine PPL with instrument rating. I will be 40 years old when I retire. Is that too old to start?
Thanks!
Amazing video! May I ask which runway that is and how you are allowed to stand on it?
It’s a small RC runway close to my house. If you look closer you can see the big X that shows that the runway can not be used by aircraft.
oh i see
Hey, another great video! Do you know if you can become a pilot with a heart disease (Atrial Septal Defect)?
About people's skills, there is an old but interesting documentary here on YT called "The Wrong Stuff", which might be intersting to watch.
can you make a video about different pilot licenses?
I have a whole playlist on the channel with that. Check it out
This video was helpfull especially for me I know a lot about commercial aircraft and I would want to be a 737 or A320 pilot for American Airlines, Southwest, or Delta Airlines I am about to turn 12 and I have a question I live in Chicago and I would like to know if I get to pick my homebass, Also is it possible to switch Airlines? Like from Qatar to Emrites?
Hi! Your base will be assigned by your airline depending on where you are needed. Yes, you can always apply for a new job in a different airline if you fulfill the requirements.
Good luck and pay attention in school!
Mentour Pilot Thank you very much for that information! It was very useful. Thank you for answering my question, Have a nice day!
Wow! Your old sofa is more worn than mine.
A friend of mine wanted to be an airline pilot, he was 3 inches shorter than the minimum height requirement of the time. He became a very successful pilot flying to remote Northern Canadian communities with smaller airlines. So, not sure if height is still an issue. Just a thought.
I have a 3 in Maths and in physics
you need at least 5
You from Sweden I hear it on your voice
When even UA-cam is airing re-runs
Well, even youtubers have vacation
1. Money
2. Will
3. A license
4. No coronavirus in the world.
Hi. Can you define what you mean by having a sponsor for your training? Are you referring to having an airline pay your way through school?
Hi Mentour! Im an 14 years old argentinian boy who just love the airplanes, and next year i will move alone to another city to study in an aviation-focused secondary school. My question is, you say that is not necessary to have an university degree realted to aviation, but if it is, is it better? I mean, a degree like Aeronautic Engineer (i know thats a super complex degree, its just and example) would be better for me rather than if i study Architecture if in the future i want to join an airline?
Sir i have one question...... Why do planes ... Small plane .... Helicopters fly at different different altitudeds ... Plzz make video on this topic
Mentour, would I have to move to the Netherlands to work on KLM long haul?
Not sure to be honest, probably.
How did you eliminate the echos in later videos?
Hello great video, do you know any good schools in Madrid?
