The kind of stuff you show and talk about in this channel should be on public TV. So many people are so irrationally afraid of flying and for many of them it's just because they just don't know anything about how planes work, how well trained the pilots and crew are and how serious everyone is about aircraft and passenger safety. You're doing a very necessary job here.
I'm amazed at how good you're at explaining things and being in obvoius control as a capatin without being condecending or demeaning etc. If I was a pilot or in training to be one (neither of which I am) you would be the primary example of the captain/leader/instructor I would wish I had.
I know this was obviously a simulator, but it's the calm, calculating and professionalism in a real life situation that saves the lives of passengers and crew. A superb demonstration on how things are done when it all goes wrong behind those locked doors
Thing is if it isn't calm during a simulation, it's certainly not going to be calm in a real situation. So even though it's a simulation it's good to see how they're handling it.
I have seen the same attitude in an operating theatre. I wonder if surgeons sometimes have pilots in the same family. Both seem to have a load of memory items and know how to be calm during a crisis.
Obi-wan never told you what happened to your mentor... I am your mentor. Search your pilots handbook you know it to be true! Join me, in the right seat and together, we can read the QRH side by side.
I think this is helpful for a passenger to know whats going on up front. I have done a few 8-10 hour flights. Lucky the masks never dropped, but now seeing this I got a better idea on whats going on. I hope this would help to keep clam in a emergency. I am not a panicky flyer normal, but the masks dropping would put me outside my comfort zone. Knowing what is going on up front I think would help me to keep clam more. LOL I like to sit by the emergency door for the "bit" more leg room, so me keeping a cool head would be a good thing.... LOL Please do more vids like this... Knowledge is power after all.
There are checklists wich span hundred of pages, detailing every step for basically any situation wich are basically impossible to remember all to an abolute acurate level. And then there are memory items. Dircet and critical responses for most emergency situations. Ensuring that the passengers get oxygen to survive is of course very critical. These should drop automatically but the pilots double check them because the life of all passengers depend on them
I'm a bit out of touch as I have not been in the industry for near 15 years but I think by international law all oxygen systems have to be automatic to deploy and initiate when the passenger pulls the mask to their face. The pilot cockpit control is for if the automatic system fails which in most (I actually think all) aircraft would result in the mask deploying anyway. IE if the auto system develops a fault it deploys. The cockpit system is completely independent and just in case there is a failure mechanism not known in the automatic system (highly unlikely given the almost unbelievable amount of validation testing that's done). The cockpit system also deploys if there is a fault. In fact the trick is getting them not to deploy every time the wind changes direction etc. The "switch" for the oxygen is mechanical/chemical so cannot fail if maintained correctly. Also I believe there is a third system entirely mechanical that can be used by cabin crew to deploy the masks on some aircraft. Again if it fails the masks deploy. It's basically a spring loaded latch where the spring load has to be withstood for the mask to not deploy. The cockpit system if it is mechanical is similar (some are or were electromechanical using solenoids)..
These kinds of videos are SO cool. Handling emergencies (or abnormal situations) is a huge part of aviation. Can I request things like 'gear problems' including indication issues as well as something nice and generic like 'the autopilot has stopped automatically piloting the aircraft for reasons unknown'?
Great video Petter! Pretty consistent with my rapid depressurization/emergency descent experience, except for (one or two details I noticed before the masks dropped) and the fact that in my case the Captain did a PA announcement to passengers during the emergency descent - so we got to hear the "Darth Vader" voice! ;-) - which was much reassuring to us. I understand that it is not a priority nor even necessary, but as a passenger that had the experience, I can assure you its very welcomed. It surely felt nice to hear him talking calmly to us and alerting - even apologizing! - in advance for any ear discomfort we might feel with the maneuver. He continued to communicate with us after we reached the 10 000ft and after landing while the paramedics were on board, keeping us informed of everything at every step. Kudos to your colleague for that "extra mile"! I should have written to your company to highlight his professionalism and kindness. (Maybe I should still do it, even if 20 months have passed meanwhile).
Sandra Feliciano This was in a SIM so in real life if the situation happened after things got to point that the cap could talk they probably would. Unfortunately in an emergency passenger comfort is the last thing a pilot is gonna think about. ATC might not even get notified if the emergency is serious enough. It can get busy in a hurry. Yes passengers are important but flying the plane takes priority.
Thanks for your input seeing as your comment comes from someone who has gone through this situation as a passenger, happy to hear good outcome for all .......
Well done! Even though I'm watching a video of a simulation of a fictional situation, I couldn't help but get a slight knot in my stomach. (Also, the Alaska 1282 incident was just a week ago.) So it's reassuring to see that these simulations are so realistic for the crews participating in them.
I'm not an aviator and I'm truly amazed how much work goes into actually flying these aircraft...how mechanical everything is and how methodical things need to be. Great video!
Fantastic video of the emergency descent procedures. I think that any nervous fliers should see this just to demonstrate how professional and well trained pilots are for dealing with emergenies
I love these types of videos!!! Gives us passengers a unique perspective on what is actually going and how you are all dealing with the situation at hand.
Great video, Petter! You explain these situations in such a calm, noncondescending way, and make the situations easy to understand. I really enjoy watching them and getting an education at the same time.
I was on a Iberia jet from LHR to Madrid, and this happened to me over the English Channel, we diverted to Paris and the pilot was able to stabilise the aircraft and land safely. The think I remember most was it was so quite.
So glad that I'm no longer an airline pilot. Who needs all of that stress? Not me anymore, that's for sure. They used to say that airline flying is 99% boredom and 1% sheer terror.
"Take your oxygen mask off, can you smell anything?" "No" I bet you'd get a different answer from the cabin crew. I like the way they have time to say "Please" and "Thank you", that's why it's called civil aviation.
I was flying with my daughter recently and she asked me why the windows were so thick, so I explained pressurization and why it’s necessary, and then she asked me what happened if it broke, so I remembered this video and was able to explain the oxygen masks and emergency descent procedure and how the pilots are trained to deal with it. Thanks Mentour Pilot!
Great video! - One (multipart) silly question - I just wonder how realistic this scenario is versus a real pressure-loss event? If the decompression is not engine or setting/switch related (slow-er decompression), isn't it sudden and fairly traumatic? Meaning, mist, confusion (things moving in the cockpit do to wind effects, noise, etc. - not the pilots!), ATC calling every 30 seconds for souls on board, fuel, status, vectors, all that. And if the decompression is sudden, what is the likelihood it is NOT structurally related (door, window panel, skin failure, etc.)? In a real sudden decompression event over 20,000 feet, how long do the pilots have to don the masks before being affected? And have airlines ever tried testing this in a test chamber to see actual debilitating effects if any and pilot response times?
I have been in an altitude chamber in my flight surgeon training 35 years ago. They did a simulated rapid decompression. It’s pretty traumatic, but lasts only about 20 seconds. You have enough time to don your mask if you train how to do it from time to time.
It is quite realistic; of course in the real scenario there will be significantly more panic, real lives are at stake, and that will naturally increase the pandemonium in the cabin and the cockpit, though in theory, this is pretty much exactly how one should effectively deal with such an event. You are right in thinking that most cabin depressurisations that aren't to do with the engine bleed and oxygen saturation system are often rapid or explosive decompressions, and that they are usually fuselage failures, often metal fatigue and slightly more tragically, bombings are also counted as explosive depressurisation events, and as expected with aviation incidents, casualties are either all or zero. A lot of upset aircraft, pilots yanking on the yoke and causing the airframe to rip apart, or explosions inside the airplane ripping apart the fuselage. ATC (if they're competent) wouldn't be calling every 30 seconds, after the pilots call mayday or pampam it's completely their call, so ATC is basically just waiting for what the pilots want to do so that they can clear other traffic out of the way and bother the pilots as minimally as possible. Hypoxia at 40000ft which is modern day usual cruising altitude will set in after about 12 seconds, so not much time at all. 30000ft is a lot more lenient, you've got about a minute there. Also don't underestimate the panic that breathing in and feeling faint afterwards will cause someone; I've had a contaminated tank while scuba diving which had too much nitrogen in it and it was absolutely petrifying. And finally, I believe I recall mythbusters shooting a bullet through a plane to see how it depressurises? Can't remember the outcome or the reason for it, but I think it happened. Airlines don't want to test depressurisations it because aircraft are expensive, even old ones. They're content with what the engineers say (who will have tested it in pressure chambers, but only certain components at a time and using the 'you are only as strong as your weakest part' line of thinking) and the data from previous decompression events. The responses of pilots in those few seconds after the event often make or break the survivor statistic. If the pilots reacted well, you won't see anything about training or crew resource management in the final report findings of incidents. As for doing the simulation in a pressure chamber; that's expensive. And probably dangerous in some way. Not sure which. Most likely both.
Beautiful presentation, gentlemen!! I was with Alaska Air/Horizon Air (regional sister to AK) for 18 years as a Receiving Inspector, so it's great to learn more about the flight deck systems and proceedures. Bravo! (Joel, PDX USA)
Thanks for the video! As a flight attendant it’s always nice to see what you guys are dealing with! And from a crm perspective - I wish we could observe some sim sessions
He knows he is both in a simulator and on a professionally made video - it's a scripted event so he already knows exactly what is going to happen and maybe it's his 15 min of fame. Even if he fixed his hair unconsciously, I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't do so in a real emergency. That being said, I caught that too and laughed.
Following on from your previous video on the subject, I was surprised how many memory items I recalled correctly before they were called/executed by the crew. Previous explanations must have set my "logical sequence" to do things.
Fantastic video, thank you! (at least once I turned subtitles on) I appreciate the collaboration here, in terms of how a flight crew actually works - clear communication, confirming all decisions with each other.
Great awesome very interesting video Captain Mentour is not selfish he shares his brilliant knowledge and skills thank you so much for your efforts i am very proud of you love it 😘😘😘
Only the 2nd one of these vids of you that I have watched. Excellent!!! Just as good as your other videos if not better (for me). When I was in the Air Cadets (2002 Bawtry Sqr) in the 60's I crash landed a Vulcan at RAF Finningley. Only the Sim. Not a patch on todays gear. Keep up the good work. You are an incredibly good presenter. Many thanks.
it was just yesterday I was watching your old rapid decent video thinking it would be cool to see this from the cockpit and today we get this haha.. Nice
The easiest way to put the the mask on without having to entirely remove your headset, is to slide your headset to the back of your neck (just like rappers carry their headsets) don the mask and the put the headset on top of it again :)
Great Video Petter What i did notice straightaway was how difficult it was to understand Elton running the checklists.Something that we as crew were told about.
13:13 So "She told me.." - wow that fligt attendant had a very manly voice :-) Another great video about what is going on on the flight deck when some emergency situation occurs!
I've watched this so many times by now. To be honest, if I've ever in an depressurization & emergency descent as a passenger, I'm probably going to go over the memory items from this video in my head to keep myself calm keep myself actively aware the flight crew has everything under control up in the front.
That would have been a fun simulation Data (to co-pilot): "Ready emergency transporters." Co-pilot (going through checklist and adjusting hair): "What? Trans what? There's nothing like that in here!" Data: (Thinking, damned time travel.) My apologies, that will be on a much later check list. What i really meant to say was 'Ooohh shit!' "
Great video Petter. For anyone flying this is great information to have in the back of your mind so that you know what to expect should that ever happen (assuming it is just a pressurisation system issue rather than something more dramatic).
Part or most of the Crew O2 masks first step is a direct result of the Golfer Payne Stewart crash in 1999 where the mask step was further the checklist and crew had already become incapacitated!!
As a scuba diver, I am interested to know if the "oxygen masks" are actually pure oxygen being fed to them. My understanding is that there are limits to oxygen, however I'm used to the partial pressures going in the opposite direction. What is the actual gas mix being fed through the masks that drop down in the event of a sudden pressure loss situation?
Partial Pressure of 1.6 is when O2 becomes "toxic". like you, I also wonder if this can happen on a lower PP as well. my google searches turned nothing up on this happening in the reverse direction.
The oxygen generated is mixed with air from the cabin to make it safe. It’s also the reason masks aren’t used if there is smoke in the cabin, it would just push smoke into your airways
If I were the passenger and knew that you were my pilot, I wouldnt have a care in the world while in route to my destination. That's the best compliment I could come up with. =)
I appreciate your illustration of these emergency procedures. On a lighter note, a quirk of the wide angle lense, it appears when you and the copilot look at each other, that you are not looking at each other, but toward someone sitting behind the others seat.
I really enjoyed watching this situation being simulated and seeing what would happen, procedures etc. Please show us more situations. Perhaps simulating past events and or crashes showing us what happened or what you would have done differently.
It would have been great to have a time elapsed, especially with the sped up parts. It took a long time to get down to breathable altitude. Are there pressurized simulators where you can experience the pressure change and risk of oxygen deprevation?
Do you find that your professional (at work) interactions with new pilots has changed since you went online and began making videos often addressed to new pilots?
To get out of track. The air routes are pre defined, so it is likely someone is flying just under you. Basically imagine you are on a road. If you have a problem you'd also exit to the side.
It allows you to drop altitude at a higher rate of speed. Without being to fast. If you notice the first thing was engines to idle, then bank, then nose over. If you just dive you will to much speed for the airframe. That’s why it’s done in order. If it was a major emergency decent he could have spiraled all the way down to get low in an extreme hurry. You are using aerodynamics to keep you slow enough but get down as quickly as possible. Hopefully that helps why these maneuvers are done a certain way.
Really appreciate this video. So helpful to understand a bit if what is going on. I have loved finding your video channel, and getting a glimpse into the finely structured, complex and fascinating world of aviation.
Having watched many episodes of Air Crash Investigation the one question I have is this, in case of depressurization or worse fire and/or smoke in the cockpit why haven't pilots got breathing apparatus that covers the eyes? I remember the South African 747 in the eighties had smoke in the cockpit and the breathing apparatus didn't cover the eyes, and the pilots not being able to see sadly crashing into the Indian Ocean. I would have thought that all breathing apparatus nowadays would cover the entire face and be mandatory.
They have oxygen mask and the pilots can actually open a window in the cockpit..so opening the window would vent the cockpit and with a mask you could still stay awake.
Great video. All your videos explain each situation so we'll. I hope this never happens to me but if it does, I'll know that the flight crew are doing their level best to get passengers and plane and themselves and the cabin crew down safely.
Wow. That was a great video. I hope you will show us more like that. I also hope that you could hear your co-pilot better than us. It was difficult to make out what you were saying with mask on.
Nice, I looked at this one just after the other video where you explained it, it is nice to see it in action. And I miss my flight sim years (used to work at the manufacture)
One thing I will never understand - how can you communicate? The audio quality of the radio systems are SO crappy :O And you have good recording quality. I find it almost impossible to hear what the other guy is saying most of the time. Intresting video as always though! :P
Fantastic video! To fully appreciate it, *TURN ON THE SUBTITLES* !

Not only do the people up front know where they are going, they know that if something goes wrong they feel the effects first.

Cuz we have CRM training, aka team work, we need have good cockpit culture cuz there had been contributing factors of bad CRM which lead to crashes

They are supposed to drop automatically anyway. It's just a manual confirmation in case they don't (unlikely).

Yes
Folded short hair can be very uncomfortable itching at worst so yea
Nothing wrong with this. Isn’t detrimental and may be distracting to leave otherwise. It’s also an involuntary thing in many of us men.
I’m impressed that you got the EAI on, as you passed through that cloud.
It’s easy to miss things like this, as you’re plowing through the QRH!
Following on from your previous video on the subject, I was surprised how many memory items I recalled correctly before they were called/executed by the crew.
Previous explanations must have set my "logical sequence" to do things.
And that’s why we practice these things, over and over again.
Fantastic video, thank you! (at least once I turned subtitles on)
I appreciate the collaboration here, in terms of how a flight crew actually works - clear communication, confirming all decisions with each other.
Glad you sirvived that :-)
Do you tell your wife '-Your controls' when you pass her over the Tv remote control?
I just realized I watched this before, but I’m still going to watch the rest while I read comments. I love your videos and your manner of speech.
Great awesome very interesting video Captain Mentour is not selfish he shares his brilliant knowledge and skills thank you so much for your efforts i am very proud of you love it 😘😘😘
Only the 2nd one of these vids of you that I have watched. Excellent!!! Just as good as your other videos if not better (for me).
When I was in the Air Cadets (2002 Bawtry Sqr) in the 60's I crash landed a Vulcan at RAF Finningley. Only the Sim. Not a patch on todays gear.
Keep up the good work. You are an incredibly good presenter. Many thanks.
it was just yesterday I was watching your old rapid decent video thinking it would be cool to see this from the cockpit and today we get this haha.. Nice
I loved this. It made me feel so safe as a passenger!
The easiest way to put the the mask on without having to entirely remove your headset, is to slide your headset to the back of your neck (just like rappers carry their headsets) don the mask and the put the headset on top of it again :)
They mentioned "put oxygen to 100%". I assume there are some switches after you put mask on?
Great Video Petter What i did notice straightaway was how difficult it was to understand Elton running the checklists.Something that we as crew were told about.
13:13 So "She told me.." - wow that fligt attendant had a very manly voice :-)
Another great video about what is going on on the flight deck when some emergency situation occurs!
I've watched this so many times by now.
To be honest, if I've ever in an depressurization & emergency descent as a passenger, I'm probably going to go over the memory items from this video in my head to keep myself calm keep myself actively aware the flight crew has everything under control up in the front.
Always so helpful to watch, makes me aware of everything on the FD as we’re doing our drills in the cabin
It is very cool to see, hear, and know what the flight crew experiences during a situation like this. Thank you
Oh hey, that brief clip you showed of a depressurization issue did an emergency landing at Tampa International, I live like a mile away!
Wow, that made me nervous just watching! I admire that you kept your cool in the cockpit, and carefully followed procedures.
When you sped up the scene of you entering data into the computer it reminded me of Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation lol.
That would have been a fun simulation
Data (to co-pilot): "Ready emergency transporters."
Co-pilot (going through checklist and adjusting hair): "What? Trans what? There's nothing like that in here!"
Data: (Thinking, damned time travel.) My apologies, that will be on a much later check list. What i really meant to say was 'Ooohh shit!' "
😂
Great video Petter. For anyone flying this is great information to have in the back of your mind so that you know what to expect should that ever happen (assuming it is just a pressurisation system issue rather than something more dramatic).
Part or most of the Crew O2 masks first step is a direct result of the Golfer Payne Stewart crash in 1999 where the mask step was further the checklist and crew had already become incapacitated!!
Thank you. Appreciate the info/explanation. What I expected was more ATC comms. Also, checks and confirmation of who has controls.
As a scuba diver, I am interested to know if the "oxygen masks" are actually pure oxygen being fed to them. My understanding is that there are limits to oxygen, however I'm used to the partial pressures going in the opposite direction.
What is the actual gas mix being fed through the masks that drop down in the event of a sudden pressure loss situation?
Partial Pressure of 1.6 is when O2 becomes "toxic". like you, I also wonder if this can happen on a lower PP as well. my google searches turned nothing up on this happening in the reverse direction.
The oxygen masks in the cabin are actually chemically generating oxygen it’s NOT stored in pressure vessels like in scuba diving
The oxygen generated is mixed with air from the cabin to make it safe. It’s also the reason masks aren’t used if there is smoke in the cabin, it would just push smoke into your airways
If I were the passenger and knew that you were my pilot, I wouldnt have a care in the world while in route to my destination. That's the best compliment I could come up with. =)
That's some aviation family, mentor the cpt his twin bro is ATC and his twin sis is number 1 cabin crew 🤣🤣🤣 great video
I appreciate your illustration of these emergency procedures.
On a lighter note, a quirk of the wide angle lense, it appears when you and the copilot look at each other, that you are not looking at each other, but toward someone sitting behind the others seat.
You guys : dont use for training
In ryanair HQ : shows this video
Um... he works for Ryanair...
and they have some of the best crew training snd standard operating procedures in the world.
@Trevor Honeyman or they were held high by ATC...
Mad impressive to serve as captain, crew, and tower at the same time!
Me: watches a mentour pilot video
also me: yeah I can fly a plane now no problem 😂😂😂
I thought I was cocky, just thinking now I can survive a crash because I’m going to wear shoes with laces.
I really enjoyed watching this situation being simulated and seeing what would happen, procedures etc. Please show us more situations. Perhaps simulating past events and or crashes showing us what happened or what you would have done differently.
It would have been great to have a time elapsed, especially with the sped up parts. It took a long time to get down to breathable altitude.
Are there pressurized simulators where you can experience the pressure change and risk of oxygen deprevation?
No, this kind of simulator does not exist in civil aviation.
Short and sweet: That was fantastic work!!!! Kudos, men!
Do you find that your professional (at work) interactions with new pilots has changed since you went online and began making videos often addressed to new pilots?
Great video. Cockpit videos are the best ones.
"Training for armchair pilots only". *loss of digital air frame and or imagined passengers are not the liability of Mentor Pilot.
Were either of them keeping a sharp lookout for other aircraft ?
@@millomweb No. The controlled environment
(Sim) omnipotence presides. In real life. On a busy corridor. Good luck.
I really enjoyed the cockpit view and that this video was a little shorter. Thanks.
Am i the only one that prefers the old airplane intro? I loved how realistic it looked.
Yeah, and no winglets.
You certainly outdone yourself that time. That was the best video I think that I have ever heard on your channel.
Why the initial 45° turn ?
To get out of track. The air routes are pre defined, so it is likely someone is flying just under you. Basically imagine you are on a road. If you have a problem you'd also exit to the side.
Also to give some G force to cancel the low G force if they simply pushed the nose down at cruise speed. This will reduce panic in the cabin.
For both of the reasons above and turning will reduce altitude unless you actively try and keep your altitude.
I had the same question, good answers 👍
It allows you to drop altitude at a higher rate of speed. Without being to fast. If you notice the first thing was engines to idle, then bank, then nose over. If you just dive you will to much speed for the airframe. That’s why it’s done in order. If it was a major emergency decent he could have spiraled all the way down to get low in an extreme hurry. You are using aerodynamics to keep you slow enough but get down as quickly as possible. Hopefully that helps why these maneuvers are done a certain way.
Elton the pilot! Priceless!
Almost a whole minute passed before you turned on passenger oxygen... is that right?
It was a check. The passenger O2 masks should drop automatically if the cabin pressure reachs 13 000ft.
That is correct. The masks drops by themselves, we turn them on as a precaution but they are already deployed at that time.
Last on QRH ha ha
Probably the most useful videos for mcc training..... well done!! Thanks
QRH checklist
Esblh clr cmmcts
Yeah, we have!
Really appreciate this video. So helpful to understand a bit if what is going on. I have loved finding your video channel, and getting a glimpse into the finely structured, complex and fascinating world of aviation.
That look after he forgot his headset following his mask removal 😂
I love your videos your passion for aviation translates into awsome content
This is me! I would be that passenger complaining about the ear pain
Shut up. We are landing in 17 minutes.
This seems like a lengthy checklist for an emergency depressurisation it seems very calm for an emergency
Awsome!!!!
Absolutely fantastic video. This is what CRM should be implemented. Thank you very much!
Having watched many episodes of Air Crash Investigation the one question I have is this, in case of depressurization or worse fire and/or smoke in the cockpit why haven't pilots got breathing apparatus that covers the eyes?
I remember the South African 747 in the eighties had smoke in the cockpit and the breathing apparatus didn't cover the eyes, and the pilots not being able to see sadly crashing into the Indian Ocean.
I would have thought that all breathing apparatus nowadays would cover the entire face and be mandatory.
They have oxygen mask and the pilots can actually open a window in the cockpit..so opening the window would vent the cockpit and with a mask you could still stay awake.
In a different video I just watched he said that the real masks do cover the eyes. Maybe just in the simulator they don't have it.
@@GodOfWar109 but that would literally fan the flames
@@corhydron111 Not on high altitudes.
Great video. All your videos explain each situation so we'll. I hope this never happens to me but if it does, I'll know that the flight crew are doing their level best to get passengers and plane and themselves and the cabin crew down safely.
5:42
Subtitles: [Applause]
I get severe anxiety flying and have to take meds when i do, but seeing this video helps ease me a bit. So thank you!
*holds up the Oxygen and pressurizion systems power plug* "Just Kidding Everyone"!
Airplane!
Wow. That was a great video. I hope you will show us more like that. I also hope that you could hear your co-pilot better than us. It was difficult to make out what you were saying with mask on.
I know, it is hard to communicate. Switch on Captions if you want to see what we are saying
Great Vid Ment! How did you get rid of the beep beep beep....around 2:33?
Chas
There is a “horn cutout” button next to the cabin altitude meter. We should have taken it away much quicker than that.
This video is just in time for my training
Good stuff, but like I say in the video, this is only demonstration, it’s not to be used for training purposes. There are small mistakes made.
Good enough. 5.5=10
@@MentourPilot I was wondering why this video could not be used for training. Now I understand.
I always request planes with completely bald flight crews.
Lol
Nice, I looked at this one just after the other video where you explained it, it is nice to see it in action.
And I miss my flight sim years (used to work at the manufacture)
*In case of emergency. Please read out loud from a small book*
But don't use a "holy book"
@@hsw268 only go to that drastic step if you fly with 737 MAX
Mentour 360 clearly expects "confident competence" from his student. Nice!
One thing I will never understand - how can you communicate? The audio quality of the radio systems are SO crappy :O And you have good recording quality. I find it almost impossible to hear what the other guy is saying most of the time.
Intresting video as always though! :P
Outstanding content as always .............never bore of your videos, thank you, A+
It’s funny with this lense they look like they don’t look at each other lol
I watched it 2 times and noticed just after your comment :D
First Class production and content.
Poor guy, had the mask harness too high in the back, gave him a lot of grief. Then, he was worried about the damage to his hairdo.
Incredible video. Such a great insight to the meticulous attention that goes into keeping us ALL safe. Thank you Mentour Pilot
