Where do NEW pilots STRUGGLE?! Mentour Pilot interviewed by Students!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 5. 08. 2024
- In this video I was visiting AFTA in Cork and was given the chance to visit a class of Integrated pilot students.
I gave them the chance to ask their biggest questions about Airline training and Type Ratings and this video is the result!
I hope you will enjoy this Q&A session. If you have more, similar questions, feel free to contact me in the Mentour Aviation app-chat or during my in-app Live-streams.
Have an Absolutely Fantastic Day!

"What is the most ..?"
"Be prepared!"
I hope you asked if every one was absolutely fantastic? đ
Mentour Pilot (Peter) ..You are doing such a wonderful service for people trying to become pilots and for pilots already in their training. I wish I had a platform like this when I was young and full of the aviation bug.
I am proud to support you on Patreon, so I know of all the great things you are working on for the future of training in aviation in all aspects. I really believe that you are on the verge of changing how the aviation world recruits, trains, and hires pilots with a critical emphasis on people getting access to financing for pilot training.
I am proud to support you in this effort. I wish you would come to the states, specifically, San Diego, California, the home of aviation at Limburgh Field. It would be a very appropriate location for you to visit.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Well said..I couldn't agree more!!!
Noticed the young lady had gained a stripe on her epaulet between the classroom and the simulator. Well done.
To answer the question: In most cases, new pilots struggle...
in the cockpit.
After watching this, I am extremely impressed with how much knowledge, experience, judgement, discipline, diligence, and exceptional smarts a good commercial airline pilot must have. The training, done right, seems as challenging as med school. And, like doctors, when you graduate, you're also responsible for lives, but hundreds at a time. Hats off to you all!
Such a good guy and an absolute expert in his field. So many industries can take note of this methodology, thinking and culture in aviation. I love it
Can you please do more videos like this. I found this video very informative. This is my second time watching this video as I first saw it on your patreon page a few weeks ago.
All these student will have amazing performance because they are learning from the best!
This was a very encouraging video Mentour. It is good when someone in their field come to a classroom to inform and educate about things experienced first hand along with the challenges. That's cool.
Glad you liked it!
6:55 "get your flaps out" means something else where I live, but dont ask.
This will always be my go to place when I want listen to intelligent professional pilots talk aviation!!! Mentor Pilot is for true aviation enthusiast..no hype...no bs..just straight talk!! Thank you Sir!!! đŠ
Great job answering the questions. I just loved the change up in format!!!! Not everyone has a gift to teach and I saw one here! Thanks. Our lives may be in the hands of one of these students someday.
Peter is the perfect flight teacher talking through the different items slowly gives you time to remember nice
Petter, you really are as fantastic as everyone says, and that makes your presentations an absolute joy. Your channel is so insightful, content-rich and well-conceived, it is a major contribution to not just the industry at large, but to the lives of everyone participating. In fact, the ethics arising out of the dedication to safety-first conceive a worthy code to live by for civil society in general.
Great video Mentour! I was very impressed with the students - they all seemed very engaged.
Wow! It's one thing to see your videos on different subjects. But, to hear you make sense of situations and apply the thought process, sharing how it works. Outstanding. You really seem to be quite the teacher. A rarity in any endeavor.
Probably the most helpful and informative video I've found for aspiring ATP pilots
Mad respect captain. Just love the dedication with which u explain things to them. U don't try to make an answer short. You take ur time in educating those future pilot. Hats off!!
Videoing the Q&A session is probably very useful to the cadets who might not have taken in all of the detail in Petter's answers.
This was really good, I was glad to hear abit of focus on the personality aspect and not just being qualified!
the best thing about this channel is the funky guitar at the beginning.. it always puts me in the mood for some groovy avionics..
Enjoyed this, seeing you in another environment and the classroom from a POV.
Very excellent and competent trainer thank you for sharing your brilliant knowledge in teaching to future pilot you are magnificent Captain Petter congratulations to you
I really liked this, this was great, seeing from a students perspective.
You're a really good communicator and teacher. I have followed you for a while now and learning heaps. Bless you sir!
I loved this! This made my understanding of the challenges of becoming a pilot real. Thanks
It ceratinly hints at the range of knowledge that pilots need to arrive in the cockpit with to begin learning what is being taught and practiced.
Excellent seeing knowledge being passed on information like this can make a big difference to somebody's life đ
Excellent video Cpt please do more more more videos like this !!!!!
Great seeing you in action!!
Great to see a video like this!!
Nice video captain, great video as always, keep it up!!
Amazing. Thank you Ryanair for allowing this to be released. What an asset they have in Mentour.
@Shawn Khrusch
Indeed, allowing this to be uploaded to YT and viewed by the public generates a LOT of good will. I see this as a sign that the airline wants training to be the best possible and encourages learning as much as possible and always throughout their career.
Ryanair! Exactly what I sidestepped by mentioning the unmentionable Irish airline: flying to abandoned airports an hour away from your destination so you spend the rest of a regular ticket on a reputable airline on transport, where luggage costs a fortune unless you fly with a rucksack, where co-pilots help out with collecting garbage left over to help with the fast turnaround, where pilots land an airplane like a lift run amok and where 250 ml of water cost 3 euros!
Mentour works for Ryanair!?
@@johnb8956 yes
Petter, this is an absolutely AWESOME video ! Quite different from what we're used to on your channel, and it's really great ! I ain't no pilot, just an aviation lover, and it's great to see how beginners feel.
On a side note, do you think you could do in-flight videos ? Of course not in the sterile phases, but it's always cool to see you fly ! :-)
Tak sa mycket ! (hope I got that right: I'm French). ;-)
I am not a pilot, and will never be a pilot, but it must be gold worth to ask an experienced pilot like you any question they want. And - if I was a trainee or new pilot, I would feel like i win the big lottery if I could fly with an experienced and calm ( and kind) captain like you. I am sure you would make me feel not so nervous, and make me do things the right way. Hilsen fra Norge :)
Great video! The filming is excellent too.
Non-pilot fan! you help me think better. i think its because you always layer your information, in a way we can keep with up your thoughts. I have listened to your voice for hours and hours, when i read your announcements i read them with your slight accent in my head, ha ha
awesome good interaction video thank you mentour for releasing it in youtube I thought that you will release it in Friday but you released the day before good knowledge q) how do you calculate the rotation speed or after v1 based on the runway I have asked you the same question in the previous live streams but today i got answer from this video u uploaded thank you so much
A really good segment!
Petter is a fantastic teacher!
struggling financially
OUTSTANDING advice, Captain
"...that you're good enough to start flying on line"
My mind immediately went to "that you're good enough that you're not gonna be instantly hated by everyone on VATSIM"
this video was soo helpful! I feel much more confident now of me becoming an airline pilot which Is my dream career
Best video you have so far. Thanks a lot!
By the way, should we expect Spooktober special?
I hope one day I have a professional mentor like you in my career
Sat there in a class room becoming a commercial pilot would be a dream come true for me
Love your videos dood
Professor Commander! Nice! CJ
Mentour Pilot. If you ever need your videos transcribed for whatever purpose. Don't hesitate to send me a message. Thanks.
Or translated!
A natural teacher here! Lucky cadets... and CZcams followers
the new areas to learn are structural changes in newer planes( composites), newer softwares training.
very impressive teacher
Moral of the video is TO BE PREPARED!
What an insight.
I hope to see myself there soon!
Hi Mentour, im in Madrid and have just finished ground school. Do you do these trips to schools often? Would be great if you could come ton ours. Love all your vids. Keep up the good work!
When I took a course in AMT, the amount of talented Pilots there was so great. But a majority of them will never fly due to the cost. Am just one of the lucky few to try to fly.
Well the lanyards gave it all away now haha! Although most of us longtime viewers already knew.
*GRACIAS PETTER THANK U VERY MUCH FOR THE VIDEO* THAT WAS NICE..
Great video, Great insight
Great to hear that you liked it!
@@MentourPilot I want to be a RYANAIR pilot one day, any tips?
Probably too used to tail draggers, but most airplanes will get themselves off the ground with just a little bit of back pressure on the yoke. Tail draggers often don't need any, some even need to push forward to be able to gain speed for takeoff.
Mentour, can you be my teacher in normal school?
nah jk thats impossible. but youre doing an amazing job teaching these future pilots. they will be the best in the world.
in 5-10 years theres gonna be emergencies and these pilots will save hundreds of lives because of your good training.
future Ryr Pilots I hope they have a better start then my former colleagues in the flight deck :)
I thinks your videos are great Mentour! đđđ A video idea is when do you thinks Supersonic passenger flights will come back. đ
Every one of these videos makes me know without a doubt I donât belong anywhere near a cockpitđ
Are they not allowed to takes notes?
Very good content, more of these videos pleeeeez! đđ
Frenchie spotted at 10:10 xD
We are EVERYWHERE !
Super Jeff Certains dâentre eux volent pour Pascan et Jazz. On peut les entendre sur les ondes, lors des communications avec lâATC.
Second, mentour mentoring the pilots and us
I think the aviation charts would be pretty demanding because thereâs so much detail packed into a small area. Every symbol has attachments that changes the meaning of the symbol.Even the color denotes a difference . But itâs not as intimidating once you learn to interpret each one and donât get overwhelmed. Sorry my English sucks. Cheers Bill. Ten minutes later Iâm thinking being paired with a pilot who may need to be corrected or reminded a little when theyâre more senior which can be challenging in some cultures.
This is why Petter recommends studiying the procedures before flying them, and using any time you get with the instructor before you enter the simulator to check on any points that aren't clear, because there are going points on more or less every procedure that new pilots won't be familiar with.
Awesome
Wo hang on, Where do I go to have Mentour as my flight training lecturer!
One team, One Flight.
Mentour I failed my instrument checkride 2 days ago and I need to retest on some subjects. I worked on the main area I was lacking with my instructor today and got a new endorsement. However, knowing that you are not as a proficient pilot as you thought, has killed the little confidence I ever had and I'm afraid it's going to affect my judgment on the second try. Any advice?
Mentourpilot telling the cadets to eat sounds like my grandmother calling me each day to make sure Iâve eaten at least 9 proper hot meals in a day ehheheheh
It's very important. Every contract or a company document has something written regarding eating and sleeping
How do you ensure that you stay on the extended runway centreline when you are taking off? I kept getting blown off the extended runway centreline.
When you are landing, you can see the runway.
While taking off, the runway will be out of view, so now where do I look??
Very cool, thank you and I notice one student in the class is ahead of others with one stripe? Or are all in the class at same stage in training and just one student in uniform?
They are a sloppy looking bunch ..
As in airline also at school different stripes mean different stages. No stripe is ppl, 1 stripe is atpl, 2 stripe cpl and 3 stripes meir.
Just a way to easily understand at what stage the cadet is.
Wings are given after the first solo
@@bla855 I wouldn't say that,they just remind me of College students, having to pile in 80 hours of life and still hold 40 hour job lol
@@matteomagni4683 ty. I was thinking when will Petter get promoted to Rear Admiral? Sorry Star Trek on the mind lol
@@matteomagni4683 Some schooles have one stripe from day one. And the second stripe when you are doing the ATPL.
I would really like you as a teacher đđ»
When there are two hours of questions during the oral portion, have four hours of answers. There are only so many maneuvers during the type rating ride that can be demonstrated, which can be easier than the oral, so have them all mastered. Donât squander the opportunity.
đź, I'm going to flight school next year, and damn I've got lots to learnđ”đ”
I have a question. Are there any videos that show a successful landing by a copilot after he took over the plane after having a disagreement with the captain?
Chat message input Hey there Mentor, i enjoy your channel, i may be blind but love aviation, i have taken control of a Foxbat and also Cessna 172 once at altitude and also successfully landed a light aircraft on the simulator under verbal instruction at the local training centre, i have a few aviation friends. I find your info very interesting and educational. Ggreetings from George in South Africa. Carl Text field Double-tap to edit.

Did you land in Cork Mentour? Super short runway isn't it?! I saw plane after plane having to do 180 turns back to the terminal after landing as they were so far down the runway by the time they stopped!
Answer: In the sky
Have you thought of founding a flight school? It would be popular.
Inject this into my veins
Great content Peter! And to my fellow French citizen, please, work on your English accent! ;)
Elou44Prod Haha, il est terrible hein!
@UC3debpxl4ic-ZYMZhE8LQ2w I'm talking of the dude at 10:12 , he's definitely french and does 0 effort to sound somewhat english. lol
Random question... I have been flying around China the past few weeks on ChinaSouthern Airlines and I have noticed a very unique rotation technique where the pilot uses ground effect and then pulls back in a noticeable g force. I flew on 8 flights and all 8 had the same technique. Has anyone else experienced this?
I think that's a technique used by fighters pilots to reduce take off distance
cody collins Considering many Chinese pilots come from the PLA (People Liberationâs Army) having flown fighter/bomber aircraft, itâs not surprising but nonetheless interesting :)
Still sad he didnât come to my class in AFTA
Brilliant video, very useful! I have a question myself: Approximately how many pilots are employed per aircraft? I often hear that an airline have ordered so and so many new aircraft, but donât really know how many new pilots they will need to operate them.
Depends on the airline but it is used to hire 6 pilots per aircraft
Mark Mdz Thanks!
@@nothentaibutsenpai 3 captains, 3 1st officers? Thats enought if they do 12 hour days without time off. Prob more like 8-10 I would think now a days. They work 5 days on 5 days off at ryanair. 12 hr days they need minimum 8 pilots.
@@GeordieBoy69 Simple maths, 1 aircraft does 6 sectors a day or 180 per month. If a pilot works half a month on a 5/5 roster, he will fly 15 days x3 sectors 45 sectors (they either do 2 or 4, but 3 would be an average). So 4 sets of crew would be required for an aircraft to operate. BUT there are at least 6 crew per aircraft as some pilots are on holiday, some are doing standby, some are in the sims or its summer and everyone is flying.
@@bahenbihen some do 4 sectors day, some might do 2 or even 1. It all depends where the plane is going. So its not simple maths, would be impossible for us to work out unless we knew which plane it was and its roster for that month.
Youâre in Ireland!
Oh my goodness. These are future Ryan Air pilots. They are stuck with the MAX! đ€Ș
They are not future Ryanair pilots .. only a flight training school students.. ryanair is too busy to have a cadet school
I am humbled by your knowledge to this regard and am experiencing a deep sense of remorse. I admit my mischievous pathetic attempt to poke fun at the MAX (yet again) has backfired on this occasion and I am left with a huge amount of egg on my face! My initial comment has now become a sad memory - nosediving into the ground, vapourising on impact.
Lucky Me Iâll admit that made me laugh quite a bit.
Money. Money. Then probably money.
I like airplanes!
make a viedo on how to write a resume for junior pilot licence
Aha. Ryanair. I suspected that based on your flight vlogs.
GOOD
Here in Alpha Aviation we do the Atpl in 9 months, u guys are so lucky to have 16 months đ
The whole course is 16 months. ATPL is 6 months, so you're the lucky one.
How did you manage to get permission from Ryanair?
I'm pretty sure he is working for them ;)
getting a permission in live usually includes asking, explaining, discussing, getting it
Which airline is flying 737 from Girona all over Europe? Hint: there are not too many of them :)
Maybe they are finally realising how lucky they are. They should have been allowing this a long time ago.
I'd rather be talking about the landing if i was in a room full of future ryanair pilots
Is there a problem with a slower rotation rate?
