Flying in summer can be tricky. In this video I will give you FIVE different reasons to why that is. We will be talking about weather, thermals, Cb's, brake cooling issues and angry delayed passengers and much much more.
Did you know how we calculate our brake cooling time for example? Make sure you stay tuned and it will all be revealed.

4:16 When that humidity starts to condense on the stowbins it can start dripping on the passengers. At Boeing, we colloquially refer to that as "rain in the plane".
It would seem to me that most pilots know more about the weather than people on the news channels. I guess when your life depends on getting the weather right you pay attention more.
Lmao so true
Robert Parker : Hah! I thought I knew about weather. Then I took my Private pilotâs Licence. Now I âknowâ less than ever!
Well to be fair it is a specific subset of weather, and almost exclusively the current weather or a 12-24 hour forecast with information specific to flying. While the news is covering more general weather up to a week out and explaining it to the general public.
Kind of apples to oranges.
@@mytech6779 you couldn't see the joke in that?
True
I really appreciate when pilots announce on the P.A. Whatâs happening. I relax as long as theyâre keeping me informed. Thank you for that and all the good info.
Monica Wilson Iâm exactly the same. Just to know whatâs going on....I really appreciate it. Constant updates are most welcome!
I get that. I'm the opposite, unless its something major.
Bad Cattitude I understand both types of people too but Iâm like you. I want to know.
It always makes me laugh when we fly out of Heathrow on a hot summer day wearing tee-shirts and shorts.
45 minutes later, everyone bursts out laughing at the announcement over the PA. "We will be landing at Cork airport in about 10 minutes, the weather is overcast with light rain".
We walk out of the airport to be met by people holding umbrellas and wearing soggy rain coats.
They look at us as if we are stupid.
I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona and witnessed Sky Harbor airport being completely closed a couple of times due to the excessive heat. At the time I thought it was because of the heat's impact on the planes' tires and brakes, but did not make the mental connection that the heat would also negatively impact the planes' performance. I love these videos--they're great learning tools!!
Plus impact the pavement. Tarmac becomes softer when reaching 50 C or more!
Had almost 2 hours of waiting on board the plane in Dallas just a few weeks back, on a hot day. Since I watch Mentour, I was wondering when they would start an APU. I heard what I figured was an APU coming on, and then the pilot (who kept us informed well) announced that "we've started up an...an energy unit to help cool you all off..." I was pretty sure the stutter around "an...an" was his trying to avoid saying jargon like "APU."
That's so cool! (no pun intended)
When I was a computer consultant the thing I had to constantly remember was to speak in words, not nerdisms.
lax and phx orlando
I've heard pilots just say stuff like "hey sorry for the heat folks, but we just started our APU, which gives power to the air conditioners. If you can endure for a few minutes it will get considerably more comfortable"
Omg!!! Just realized!!! The red and green pillows as wingtip lights!!! Wooooe!!! Awesome
đ
14:15 The way that dog is sleeping on the couch is hilarious đ
I have experienced the "hot and high" problems flying out of SLC (Salt Lace City, Utah) a while ago. Even though there were empty seats they announced they could not take any standby passengers since the plane would have been too heavy for the current weather conditions.
The other thing you mentioned that I also find very important is a pilot giving information to the passengers. On a recent flight in the US (small regional jet flying in the colors of a large airline), there was a technical problem before take-off. (The batteries of the plane didn't charge off gound power or APU power.). Not only did the captain make an announcement, describing in full detail what the problem is, giving analogies to technology the passengers are more familiar with (the charge indicator on your car's dashboard), he also gave an estimate how long maintnance would need to fix it, but, what I found really special, he did so by coming out of the cockpit and standing at the fwd end of the aisle and announcing through the flight attendant microphone. (I can understand that you don't do this in flight for security reasons, but this was on the ground with the doors still open.)
Much better communication than just "hiding in the cockpit" and mumbling into the PA mic. ;-)
I literally was just on an Hainan Airlines A330-300 with a broken APU flying from Shenzhen, China to Auckland, New Zealand. It was so hot in the cabin that some people were feeling unwell. The pilots then started engine num. 2 and we were fine afterwards.
Ah, Love the puppies. They are so sweet. Great video as well. Nice to be reminded about the physics behind air density. Iâm no scientist (I am an Arts Graduate) but Iâve always liked science. You have a great summer. My youngest Son flies out to Lisbon with his University next month itâs great to know that all pilots and flight crew are trained to such high standards
I live in Arizona. There have been a number of occasions when flights have been stopped due to excessive temperatures. 48/49C and the smaller planes are halted. 50C and the whole airport shuts down from what I have heard. I was not here for the 50C so only have anecdotes from natives. It's fascinating that nature can have such extremes that what is taken for granted in most places can have such major effects elsewhere.
This is true (AZ native) 120 or 121f they shut down sky harbor.
Incoming flights might get redirected to Sedona or Flagstaff?
@@coopergates9680 Tucson or Vegas are more likely. The TUS airport is usually 5+ degrees cooler than PHX. I think Sedona's runway is too small, and Flag doesn't have the infrastructure to cope with dozens of planes.
@@geonerd If they could redirect as far as Vegas, they may as well call on Albuquerque or El Paso. Cooler still
â@@coopergates9680 the density altitude issue is not as bad for landing as it is for takeoff--so runway 8/26 can probably handle it even at 50+ C. It is 11,489 feet long so plenty of room to stop even for a big plane. When landing, planes are lighter on fuel so that helps even more. Holds may be needed to handle reduced capacity but this is offset by making all runways available for landing. Ground operations must be in shape enough to make sure planes can get to their gates quickly, otherwise you might barbecue the passengers--but again, this is offset by the lack of departures.
I would like to see Mentours the take on winter issues.
I feel like winter is better than summer is almost all aspects except ICE. Ice has taken down quite a few planes.
Neil PlaysGuitar_YT except need to avoid the Santa and his sleigh. I afraid the sleigh doesnât have TCAS nor ATC clearance
They fly lower than cruise level
He has, look for "Winter ops"
Brian Thorstad Iâm thinking of extreme winter ops. Where ground temps are around -30f or lower.
Yes, flying an aircraft is harder in the hot summer. Therefore, I have voluntarily absented myself from flying in the summer in order to do my part in helping to lighten the aircraft.
Coming back from Keys with family last summer, I was on a commuter-sized jet (sorry I can't remember what it was now), and we were delayed on the ground for FOREVER because of an A/C issue... Once airborne, water started pouring out of the ceiling panels, soaking my hair and shirt. This went on for the entire flight.
The only grace was that the water appeared clean and didn't stain up my clothes. I suppose I should have said something, but I didn't want to stress the poor flight attendant anymore than she already was... she was a wreck already with everyone bitching and complaining about the delays.
Wow sorry you had to go through that
Was that the house keys or the car keys? (careful, your Amercanism is showing) đ
@@michaelscott356 you are assuming i meant Keys in America.
Loved the 'spanglish' in «so in those 'paĂses' this is no problem»
I wonder if damaged baggage claims escalate when it's really hot. It must be brutal out there loading and unloading planes.
"It must be brutal out there loading and unloading planes." It is...
Oh absolutely. It can be brutal just cleaning the planes.
I woulnt say more bags get damaged we just drink alot and stay in the shade
I worked as a ramp agent loading in 99 degrees Farenheit outside loading planes with heavy suitcases. No a/c. We suffered and got good tans. JFK airport.
So hot there the candle in the background melted.
Thank you! The info was useful because Iâm preparing to take the FAA dispatcher exam (ADX) and aircraft performance, weather, and airspace are big parts of it. :)
Red pillow to the left, green to the right. Nice touch!
Thank you very much for this very informative video đ
I really like this guy he speak sense and is a good teacher. I am not a pilot, to old to go down that road now, though if i were younger today I'd consider doing it.
I have learnt so much from his videos. And that's a bonus, as he is entertaining as well. GREAT JOB Mentour
As the younger guy, I'd consider be coming a pilot...except I work what's supposed to be a good job and despite better raises than others I've worked with, I just can't afford flight school or training time these days. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Maybe someday I'll be able to?
13:23 Aaah, thatâs why I sometimes feel that maneuver during the landing. I hear the engine spinning up and down, up and down, and more G forces, less G forces, more G forces... It feels a bit like a rollercoaster ride. I wondered, why the pilots canât keep a steady glideslope to the runway. Now I know, why.
That dog invests a lot of effort into laying around :D

@@MarcQuiclic paxti displays typical poodle traits. they hang out with their friends :)
It's because it's summer. Dogs generate more lift in Winter from the denser cold air
@@czdaniel1 haha, good joke :)
Layabout, but lying around ?
@8.46 "Don't worry, if there's not enough runway we won't take off" That's right, you will run out of runway and crash!
I think what he means is that they won't even start the take off procedure but đđ
LOL... that was fun
Whoooo can we do it again, can we can weđ
we will not attempt to take off
@@RoosheshMotiwallaOfficialPage not what he said!
Summer - the time of year when thunderstorms regularly cause complete chaos at JFK/LGA/EWR, YYZ, BOS, and many other busy Eastern North American airports
And heat roasts the southwest airports.
Affects Chicago O'Hare quite a bit as well. Summer used to be when most of the delayed aircraft were from there sometime earlier in the day. I don't see that as much, so maybe airlines moved flights to other hubs, or avoid going in or out of O'Hare in the summer afternoon.
Great to keep the passengers informed about what is going on.
Great topic to discuss, often wondered about reduced performance of aircraft in high temps and aircraft sat around in 100deg temps
I was trying to explain this (taking off in hot weather) to my wife and kids the last time we took off from Turkey as it was so hot and the aircraft (an airbus me thinks) really struggled to get up but it was quite safe in my opinion but just a bit sluggish till it got higher.
Great video, I learned so much from you! We had a serious heat wave last week in the NY metro area, where I live, temps >105+ for days, and severe thunderstorms to boot. I can now imagine what challenges were faced by the captain, first officer and flight crew as a result. Despite hearing about these summertime challenges pilots face, somehow I feel more confident because of the rigorous training and experience you all receive in dealing with such things. Thanks for a great video!
Having grown up in Australia, I have experience with asphalt absorbing more heat than concrete pavements. We could walk barefoot on cement but had to avoid, by jumping over, or walking around asphalt.
Wouldn't this also have an effect on aircraft tyres?
Thanks for the video. đ
Really enjoyed this video! Particularly as a passenger and aviation aficionado. Thank you!
43 year retired Aircraft Dispatcher here and love your approach to things !
"Don't roast the passengers."
Good idea. Roasting passengers tend to create many complaints and 1 star ratings on Yelp.
Looks like the right candle in the background also overheated xD
By far the best Mentour Pilot video information wise. You are such an amazing communicator, and youâve really spoken what economy class passengers go through around the world!
Excellent video on the impact of summer on flying and how to compensate for it. Informative and very interesting. THANKS. - Dean from Minnesota
I boarded a wizz air flight and then we waited inside the aircraft about 1 and a half hours, now I know why. Cheers
Marius M where were you going?
I suffered something similar couple of years ago. We had been waiting for more than 5 hours after boarding, when we took off finally. It was a Lufthansa flight from Shanghai to Frankfurt. Terrible experience, a real nightmare.
@@Laxoni cluj
I fly wizz air to poland but I get the first flight in the summer
Fascinating, as always! Although I fly often as a passenger, I can only recall one instance where the altitude/temp was an issue. It was an American MD-80 from Albuquerque to Chicago. It was a blistering 112F. The runway is nearly 14000 feet, but when we rotated, the wings shuddered quite violently. I had never experienced that before.
I did wonder why passengers were boarded if there is a known delay. Makes sense that, if thereâs a chance to shorten the delay, they need the people onboard and ready. It is awful, though, unless the pilot lets people visit the cockpit while theyâre having to wait. That is a fun distraction Iâve never had happen in the states, only in Europe. Maybe itâs not allowed in the US?
Flying into Las Vegas is the worst for that convection turbulence! Turbulence coming over the mountains, turbulence from the heat rising off the valley floor...itâs a thrill ride landing at McCarran.
The puppies are adorable! Nice to see Molly has a chance to leave the basket now that theyâre getting bigger.
Well I think it's because of 9/11 passenger are not allowed in the cockpit in the US
I only discovered Mentour Pilot about 2 weeks ago, have been watching the vids back to back ever since. Top level stuff brother.
There should be a law that once the interior temperature and humidity level of an aircraft reaches a certain point that is dangerous for human health, the pilots and/or airport should be required to do what is necessary to cool down the cabin. If this includes activating the APU or running one or more of the engines, so be it.
I agree. Even us cleaners deserve not to boil alive inside a roasting airplane.
Very interesting news for me đThank you for your video đ
Very informative again Petter - I anticipated most of the issues except the one about the braking which is indeed very interesting!
Hot and high departures are definitely a big thing in the western US. On a hot day in Denver, the 737-900ERs actually have to use the 16,000ft runway to get off the ground (16R/34L)
12:30 The warm updrafts we call "Thermals" in the Model Aircraft hobby, the Free Flight flyers love them in the summer. Also as you mention real Glider pilots do too.
Summer and Christmas and by far the worst times of the year to fly
Especially when there is a drone in the vicinity of EGKK (LGW/Gatwick)
Adam T đ
fatty beast Southern Hemisphere: Am I a joke to you?
You don't say.
@@AussieGunzel Watch this in December
This describes almost year round conditions in South Texas. It now makes sense why it is usually quite hot inside the plane until an engine is started.
Petter,
Great video and explanations - thank you! Good timing with the current heat waves across Europe.
God bless

Thank you for the information, I now understand why flights are delayed more in the summer!
Great video, you really inspire me into becoming an airline pilot
Man I like the new intro for this, great job on it! A huge step up from the ones youâve had before. Iâve been really enjoying this channel for the last few months canât wait to see what comes out next! Learning a bunch haha
Thank you for this video, additional knowledge and understanding about cabin temperature during summer. đ
18K+ hour Heavy pilot and thought this was very well explained. Well done Sir!
Awesome stuff, thank you for explaining, and very cute dog :)
Great video. Learned alot, I'm a seasoned traveler, but still am nervous at times. I think these have cured me!!
It is always a pleasure to tune in . Informative and well explained in details , Cheers Capt .
I've been at an airshow when they closed down the airport because of ambient temps. I live in the high altitude desert; if there is a low pressure front coming in and the temps are really high, the air density is comparable to being at 10,000 feet or higher. Physical exertion becomes a real challenge and flight physics at that altitude have to be quite different!!
I drove in Fresno valley in California. While going up the mountain the altitude is 3700 feet and I could hardly breathe up there. Las Vegas and Arizona are very arrid also. There's turbulence but no rain.
@@sharoncassell9358 If it was hot then, the actual air density is a lot lower, that may be why you felt out of breath. The other factor we deal with here in the high desert is humidity. If the humidity was as low as I suspect it was, that can quickly dehydrate you through expiration and that feels just like high altitude sickness.
â@@sharoncassell9358 it sounds like placebo - 3700 ft is barely over 1000m, that's way too low to feel the effect of altitude. It takes at least 2500-3000m before you start to feel any noticeable effect.
For context - typical aircraft cabin pressure is equivalent to 8000 ft (1800m) and people don't get altitude sickness in planes.
This is the kind of constructive niche/detailed information, I don't find anywhere else... đ
One of your BEST videos! Thanks đ
Another fantastic video Petter!
I got distracted by your lovely and well behaved dogđ
Adoreable. I love watching his dog while listening to him.
such a great dog
I've been in a lot of the AC situations. One flight we were delayed on the tarmac for a bit. The air got stale quickly. A passenger ended up having a seizure. We had to go back to the terminal.
Thanks captain! Very good ,valid reasons for delays! Now we know why we are waiting inside the aircraft, but we love flying and will keep flying!
Iâm honestly panicking just from listening to you talking about passengers being stuck in the hot cabin!

Very good episode and education on the specs of flying whats involved .
Brilliant video as always
13:30 this convective turbulence is so pronounced on Final Approach into Las Vegas McCarran Intl
I think the mountains contribute to that too
On final and take-off. They're continually changing the runway take-offs to count for this. Summer/Spring months you depart to the east, Summer/Fall you depart to the west. Approach is visa-versa.
@@Trojans175 Mountains contribute but in Summer/Sprint they usually route you either coming in from the west, where you miss the mountains. Or from the NE -> SE Runway which you drop down to 5k after the mountains. Which makes it more bearable.
Flew in/out of there every Mon/Fri. HATED IT SO DAMN MUCH.
Denver is good for this too.
Hobo G Iâm sure it just depends on the day/weather. Iâve flown in and out of Vegas and Denver, and each time was smooth as silk.
Hallo Mentour ! I loved this video, I am just an amateur and I appreciate this kind of information which is not far too technical! Thank you !
Thanks Petter, really informative
Thank you for this useful video.
When it comes to lower air density caused by heat, where I live, the main airport in the city was temporarily shut down a few times in the past because it was too hot. And that airport is one of the ten hub airports for American Airlines and formerly the home base for US Airways when it was a thing.
It's also a crew base for Southwest
Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, I think you are referring. Interestingly, that shutdown wasnât an airport shutdown, it was specific carriers that did not have charted takeoff data high enough to calculate the takeoff data. So, they couldnât just guess or extrapolate, causing them to delay things until it cooled off. I canât remember for sure, but I think the temperature went over 120 degrees those days. Since then most airlines have charts with a larger temperature range, and more sophisticated systems to compute data more accurately.
I like the dog when it is laying on the sofa it just looks like a teddy bar đ
Thank you Mentour
Good video... I remember seeing PAN AM 747s pulling into our City on emergency landings (Denver) with smoking brakes... Now I understand why a whole lot better.....
Flying - during the summer - to the south of Italy (it seems a lifetime ago) the pilot was ALWAYS using reverse thrust when landing. And I couldn't figure out why.
Until you explain that aircraft brakes do require a long time to return to their operational temperature, and that explain everything.
Which brings me to the next question: I have seen in some top quality cars a fan build in the brakes, to facilitate cooling.
With airplane brakes handling some MJ of energy, why there isn't a provision for their active cooling?
Already the tires, at zero RPM when landing, take a serious beat every flight; the brake pads too, by getting close to incandescence at every landing?
I'm sure there is a proper maintenance turnaround for brakes and tires, but why is not practical to keep pads cooler so an airliner can take off soon after it has landed?
Thanks for the outstanding video.
I'm not a dog person; but your pets have some moviestar qualities with them, for their awareness of their role in the overall picture.
Regards,
As far as I know, there was a concept of a fan that made the wheels spin before landing by using the outside air. It didn't get implemented throughout the industry, because it apparently wasn't worth it. It's always a lot of extra cost and effort to get something registered for aviation use. And even if you wanted to do so, every little gimmick is still extra weight that needs to be dragged around and costs fuel without paying like an additional passenger. Also, every part has a risk of breaking/malfunctioning, how small it might be.
It's always a question of cost and benefit and it seems like those extras aren't worth it for the manufacturer or airlines.
I thought it's not allowed to fly without APU. Chesley Sullenberger couldn't execute ditching of his A320 succsessully without APU. So it's for me very strange when Mentour says that it's not a problem to fly without operable APU
Also doubtful about this. In case of engine failure won't you lose all electricity in this case?
Not true - look for info about RAT turbine
Dmitiry Vizhutkin Thats what i thought

Another great post!
I had an experience with high humidity on a C-5. We were taking a MAC flight from Hawaii to Australia. There was a stop in American Samoa where the plane sat on the tarmac for a couple of hours with no AC. When we were taking off there was a smoke warning in the cargo area. They still took off. I was sitting right by the opening down to the cargo area. It was the condensed moisture that set off the smoke alarms. Still made for a tense flight. Really enjoy your information. It helps this white knuckle flyer to understand and relax a bit.
Glider pilot here. Thermals are always on finals.
Sometimes, supposedly, triggered by the landing glider. (Can't vouch for that, but makes sense actually...something puncturing that metastable boundary between the solar heated ground hugging hot air and the cooler air above.)
I'm sure that the wing loading doesn't help when you kite from ground effect.
I saw a demonstration of a glider pilot flying a mile and a half, about 50 feet off the ground, in ground effect
I am terrified of flying. But these videos help me keep my mind at ease. These well explained videos that depict would be horrifying conditions, helps quell my fear of my upcoming trip to California.
Great video, captain!
Absolutely fantastic
Great video! Also sooo many cute puppies :))
Well, there's no doubt that they are all Patxi's puppies, they all look just like him! đđđ
Also, a good video đ
Love this channel.
This is very important information . . . Thank you , the aviation intelligence .
The fact that the Aircraft needs an APU or an engine to be running in order to use the AC is ludicrous, especially when so much emphasis is put on reducing CO2 emissions nowadays. They should be able to run off ground power.
It also makes life a lot worse for us Ramp Agents. In the summer we already have to deal with doing a very physical job of loading/unloading the bags inside a hold that feels like an oven, but with the APU running we can't safely take our ear defenders off so it's even harder to stay cool.
Know that feel brother :|
That was my question... Why can't the AC not be powered by electricity from the airport?
â@@bdw66 I might be mistaken here, but this is because the Pressurization Air Conditioning Kits (PACKs) use bleed air from the turbine of an APU or an engine in order to provide pressurized air. This air is then "conditioned", i.e. mixed with air inside the aircraft. On the ground the same system is used, but an additional cooler is required, since the air outside may not be cold enough.
Some of the newer airplanes (e.g. 787 Dreamliner) do not have bleed air system, so they must solve this somehow differently. Perhaps on these planes you can run the airco from ground power?
@pilotguy707 So if you can run the AC off Ground Power, why do so many pilots wait until the passengers have disembarked before they shut off the APU? Likewise, why do they start the APU as the passengers start boarding instead of a few minutes before pushback? Not only is it harmful to the environment, but it's extremely unpleasant for ground staff working around the aircraft and I imagine not too fun for the cabin crew stationed at the back door either.
@@greg42058 The Dreamliner uses an all-electric A/C system. It also needs two 400Hz 200v AC ground power connections where most large aircraft only take one. Plus, if the APU fails rather than the traditional Air Start unit, it takes a third ground power connector to start the engines.
Wow great flying tommorow to France (Nice) during a heatwave.
Good vid.
I don't think any part of France is Nice during a heatwave...
@@BrightBlueJim ok thanks. Luckily it's only going to be 27c in Nice today.
As a passenger sitting in the back of the plane and basically ignorant of external circumstances going on external to the aircraft, this video, is something every passenger should watch. When you understand why something is happening, you are more tolerant of conditions in the plane. Knowledge may not make it more comfortable, but it helps to know that discomfort will be temporary and relief will come. Thank you for this video!
It's been over year since I last watched these !
Missed them xD
Another fantastic video, it warmed my heart to hear you describe dealing with thermals on base and final, with all of todays technology you still refer to the "FEEL" of the aircraft, or what my flight instructor back in 1970 referd to as " Flying by the seat of your pants". That feeling of how the aircraft is being pushed around by the pressure and movement of your bum on the seat.
Also it appears i'm not the only person who thinks airlines would benefit to show several of your videos on board the aircraft. Your'e a great teacher and an inspiration to young pilots all over the world. (a student at our aeroclub in Australia put me onto this site) Hope your'e able to keep up the "Fantastic" work. Thank you.
Barry Fowler The aircraft being pushed around by the pressure and movement of your bum? What do you mean? You are not talking about big traffic airplanes, do you? These Airplanes are far too heavy and you too light to be able to move the airplane by moving yourself on the seat. I am confused by your statement. Please elaborate.
@@IroAppe its probably some weird analogy the instructor gave him.
I was on a commercial flight taking off from Las Vegas in the high heat of the summer and I really wondered if it had enough lift to clear the mountains that sort of surround LAS. I really did.
Fantastic video as always
Great video! Would really to see a video about aircraft maintenance and what happens inside the hangers:) thank you for your great and informative videos.
Plus, also, too 8:43 ["if there's not enough runway, we will not take off"] ==> "Physics! It's NOT just a 'good idea'. It's the LAW!"
