When I was travelling in the Big Island of Hawaii, my DC-9 actually pushed back on its own by using the reverse thrusters. It was an outdoor airport where we had to walk onto the tarmac and climb up its built-in stairs.
Until you said you were in a simulator I honestly had no idea, I was like man this dude knows what he's doing!! I was also wondering where the co-pilot was and whether it's legal to be filming while doing this 🤣
You should have led with "I am in a simulator" because i was really shocked you were taxing to show us how without getting clearance from traffic control. Great video lessons by the way guys
I just cant get enough of your mannerisms, professionalism, and passion At least 1 video a day now has to be watched since I found your channel, gotta have a daily Mentour fix. Your sub count is soaring! Will you still fly when you have 3 or 4 million subs and CZcams makes you more money? :D Very welcome from Australia!
You should do a video on the flight simulator; policies etc, who usually owns one, what circumstances you can use it in, how you gain access to one, what does/doesn't count against you in the simulator etc.
I really enjoyed this video and found it informative and also funny from my position as a ramp worker at a very tiny full service airport. we have a runway that is almost 11,000 ft in length and can handle any size plane, but we have no control tower and our pushback is Vietnam war era. I work for a major carrier and this year we handle A319's mostly but have also worked 737's, 757's CRJ's and have seen 767's land here but never worked one myself. it was interesting to see the pushback from the pilot's perspective. thanks.
I was on an Air Canada dc 9 flying from Calgary, Alberta to Vancouver, BC once. The pilot, when departing, did use reverse thrust to back away from the terminal instead of using the pushback truck. The flight originated in Saskatoon, Saskstchewan. I assumed he was running late.
In 1961 i was studying in class 8 in karachi i was very much intresting to become a pilot of a boing aircraft but unluckely i could not continue my study after having my matriculation in 1963 ( i was about 20 21 years old ), than i got an employment in a int. Org., and served about 39 years. Now i'm 70 plus with good health but still i hv a creaz to watch all about this machine's. In my family one is my uncle (died ) was a sr pilot in national air lines, one my cusion an hali pilot ( has been retired ) and one is my nephio is a fighter pilot but i could not become a pilot.
I like the way you explain how to turn the plain with the tiller and how to release the brakes and how to throttle the engines in the simulator,one day I would like to sit in one to get the feel of the plane.
Mmm very good explained and I understood it all. I also knew it was s simulator, you could see outside the window it wasn't real. You did good captain!
thankyou my wife s 1st cousin s husband is a airline pilot was now he runs simulators now 787 dreamline aircraft it was awesum yea I luv it so ill be watching out for your videos thankyou mate im from new zealand
The Tiler is the Ground Steering wheel that turns the aircraft on ground side to side and the Yoke is the Air Steering wheel that tilts to turn the aircraft in a direction desired while in the air
Back in the early 1990's I was in an MD-80 in Raleigh-Durham NC Intl and we pushed back using reverse thrust. I've flow most Boeing /Douglas and Airbus aircraft since the 1950's and this was never done, however.
if_virtualspotter IG I’m am not sure if you know but sadly Air Berlin have shut down although Joe’s childhood dream has come true and he is the first officer on a 747-400 with Cargolux.
Very nice video. I just found your Mentour Pilot site and really enjoyed your explanation. The simulator added a lot. The first I heard of a "tiller" was on "Corporate Pilot Life" where they fly a G4 I believe. Anyway, thank you very much and have a safe day.
hey mentour😊. I wrote to you earlier about my problem with stammer and do you know what? Last week I got my medical class one so I can start the education😁 I will start next june and i'm so happy that you inspired me to do this even with a stammer problem. But I think I can handle it. And by the way a great video. Hope to see you one day as a college at work😉
Excellent - I hadn’t ever thought about how aircraft are steered on the ground. I didn’t know about the tiller - very interesting. I assume the rudder pedals are connected to the nose wheel so that it follows the rudder when the plane is traveling fast enough for the rudder to affect direction.
I had no idea about that small turning wheel on the side. Thanks for the video Captain Mentour. Now, how the steering is done on an Airbus? I guess, Capt Joe should follow that up, as you are a Boeing 737 pilot.
Im training to taxi a crj900,controlling that tiller is my biggest problem,it seems like its extremely sensitive also i need to keep in mind avout overshooting the turns
+Mentour Pilot Hello. Thanks for every video you made. I've got a question. During the emergency, let's assume you are a first officer when you warn the captain about his mistake and he does not give a response or take any action to correct that, in addition, he says 'don't worry I know what I am doing'... What would you do? Which actions would you take step by step? ( I asked some questions before but couldn't get any answer so I hope this time it works)
Flew last week, some reason i thought they had to be trucked all the way to the run way. I assumed they were just using engine thrust and steering like a zero turn mower, but near as i see from a few videos the front wheel actually turns too and maybe a rudder.
Never knew you had to hold the brake pedals before engaging/disengaging the parking brake handle. Does the owner let you use their simulator to make these videos? Credit them. These are terrific, more please.
Aircraft not only have a steering wheel, modern aircraft like Airbus's have automatic transmissions whereas older aircraft are 4 speed manuals and pilots had to learn to double clutch as they slowed down for landing.
Years ago, the DC9s (Diesel 9s as we called them) had the 'buckets' at the back of the engine cowlings (similar to the B737-200s) and had the mechanical capability to reverse back from the gate, but the operators of that line figured out it was hard on the engine, made more noise, and would blow jet blast forward. Much better overall to just have it pushed back.
Each & every aspect of aviation videos are meticulously explained with their own importance & hats off to you captain and please go ahead with much more videos
Great video again. Can you explain the white trails behind an aircraft at high altitude and why those trails arn't always as long visable as some other days.
it wouldnt turn at a very good angle. to actually do turns on taxiways etc you could possibly do it with reverse thrust in 1 engine and full in the other. but yeah as the first guy said its basically never used.
Does the tiller turn the nose wheel? I might have missed your explanation on what actually makes the airplane to turn on the ground. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them very much.
Great video. And i love the 'I should prob make this very obvious to you guys i am sitting in a simulator right now so im not actually taxiing wildly round Dublin airport'

Most of them are on their mobiles on WhatsApp 🤣🤣
YOUR VIDEOS ARE REALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE EVEN FOR THOSE WHO LOVES TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE EITHER THEY WANTS TO BE PILOT OR NOT

Youre supposed to steer with nosewheels.tow backwards with truck.
You should do a video on the flight simulator; policies etc, who usually owns one, what circumstances you can use it in, how you gain access to one, what does/doesn't count against you in the simulator etc.
Never forgetting the "Ground Side" Thank you! I enjoyed this one very much!

Which airport? Our runway is only 5107ft. Talk about small fries!!!
I was a ramp agent marshalling wing walker and truck driver to carry containers & stairs to aircraft.
I was on an Air Canada dc 9 flying from Calgary, Alberta to Vancouver, BC once. The pilot, when departing, did use reverse thrust to back away from the terminal instead of using the pushback truck. The flight originated in Saskatoon, Saskstchewan. I assumed he was running late.
I absolutely love how in depth your videos are. Thank you so much!
Nice to know Ground Control is in the vicinity.

This is awesome. 737 is my favorite series of planes. Especially the -400. I love the flaps design behind the thrusters.
'All doors and hatches closed and secure, bypass pins in place, tug and bar are connected and ready to push!' Great video as per usual from a Ramp guy
This is one of those questions that I have always wondered.
I like the way you explain how to turn the plain with the tiller and how to release the brakes and how to throttle the engines in the simulator,one day I would like to sit in one to get the feel of the plane.
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing every bit of your passion with everyone, it is such a joy to witness all of this for free whilst sitting at home.
Thanks for the lessons capt...finally knows how the planes maneuver on the ground👍
Thanks for the video. initially i thought it was real plane.
Your kind of guys inspire confidence in pilots and pax... good job sir.
I love how you speak to the viewer as if we will ever have a chance to actually operate that aircraft.
Are you not a pilot?
I had been wondering if airliners still used a tiller. Thank you, Captain.
Fascinating. Never knew how planes manuver/turn on the ground.
love it how you guys show us how to use a airplane
Really appreciate your passion and commitment! Hope to see you in Singapore!
I am doing absolutely fantastic. Thank you for the well-wishes!
Thank you...simple brief with well pointed...
That is some mad simulator setup... defo getting that.
Your videos are the absolute best! You make it very easy for a lay person such as myself to understand. Thank you!
Haha, I was totally wondering how you had permission to just casually drive around Dublin airport like that - simulator! Aaaahh...
That was something I always wondered about. Now I know!
Thank you Petter.
7:34 😂😂 lol , yet another fascinating video , always something to learn ! 😊😊
Very informative ..... me think with all the other cockpit operations (in a real life) this is not easy...so...Thanks a lot Sir !
Mmm very good explained and I understood it all. I also knew it was s simulator, you could see outside the window it wasn't real. You did good captain!
Gosh! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us unfortunate landlubbers! People are sometimes so good, thankfully.
thankyou my wife s 1st cousin s husband is a airline pilot was now he runs simulators now 787 dreamline aircraft it was awesum yea I luv it so ill be watching out for your videos thankyou mate im from new zealand
Fantastic! I'm a non-pilot but interested, love the content.
The Tiler is the Ground Steering wheel that turns the aircraft on ground side to side and the Yoke is the Air Steering wheel that tilts to turn the aircraft in a direction desired while in the air
i always curious how they manoeuvre on the ground, now I know. Thank you for the great video.
Been thru Dublin 4 times this past summer. Thanks, as always .
Back in the early 1990's I was in an MD-80 in Raleigh-Durham NC Intl and we pushed back using reverse thrust. I've flow most Boeing /Douglas and Airbus aircraft since the 1950's and this was never done, however.
you should collab with captain joe...
One is Boeing while the other is Airbus. Don't ask impossible things.
christianbro2 not anymore
two geniuses in one room asks for trouble...:D:D
if_virtualspotter IG I’m am not sure if you know but sadly Air Berlin have shut down although Joe’s childhood dream has come true and he is the first officer on a 747-400 with Cargolux.
I was genuinely convinced that was a real plane...
Mee too
Well, the cockpit controls are real, only they are hooked up to the virtual environment. The seat is also real btw :)
Can you please tell me about Autobreak RTO
So real. 👌
Plot twist, it WAS a real aircraft and he WAS taxiing wildly around the Dublin airport, and the statement that it was just the simulator was a lie. 😁
En gang til, har vi (sonnen min og jeg her i USA) set flere av videoene dine. Takk! Veldig interessant. Vi er store "fans".
I just download your mentour aviation app
Hahaha, I was watching thinking the airport was real, until you said simulator. Got me
Very nice video. I just found your Mentour Pilot site and really enjoyed your explanation. The simulator added a lot. The first I heard of a "tiller" was on "Corporate Pilot Life" where they fly a G4 I believe. Anyway, thank you very much and have a safe day.
Awesome video. Great for the aviatoon freaks like me. Pls show us the step by step process for landing and take off. thanks
I've just watching you previous video "Handling Take off and rotation" My question has been answered. Thanks!!!
GREAT video, Captain ! Than k U Very Very much! Have a nice evening.
Just found your channel. Hooked on it already. Great stuff.
Fentastic video....thank you sir sharing that kind of very valuable knowledge subjects...
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are very good and clean explainer
That was my concert for so many years. Thanks
Very cool video with the simulator. Hope to see more of them. Keep the great work up 😍 ✌. Good day
Underbart! En video där du lyfter skulle uppskattas!
Ha en bra dag!
hey mentour😊.

Mentour Pilot hey mentour, thank you very much for your anwser😁
Excellent - I hadn’t ever thought about how aircraft are steered on the ground. I didn’t know about the tiller - very interesting. I assume the rudder pedals are connected to the nose wheel so that it follows the rudder when the plane is traveling fast enough for the rudder to affect direction.
Yep! Great to hear that you like it!
wow I always thought it was a combination of NWS and differential breaking. Great video as usually..
Wishing u a fantastic day! And thnx for another very enlightening and informative quality web cast! Cheers 🛫🇨🇦
Can you do a detailed video about the approach and landing like what's the proper descent rate, speed when do you use ILS etc...
I had no idea about that small turning wheel on the side. Thanks for the video Captain Mentour.
Now, how the steering is done on an Airbus? I guess, Capt Joe should follow that up, as you are a Boeing 737 pilot.
Im training to taxi a crj900,controlling that tiller is my biggest problem,it seems like its extremely sensitive also i need to keep in mind avout overshooting the turns
Plot twist: he's not in a simulator
So nice video!! I love those videos from "the office"!! As simulator or the real one!!
Would be interesting in seeing more videos using the simulator
thank you for the video! although i already knew it, you have me a little more information! im sick right now so this made me a little better :-D
i'm sick too in taiwan getting over a fever when temp is 38-41 isnt easy :)
do it if you feel like it yes, it can.
do it if you feel like it it can but it needs a longer runway and a skilled pliot
CaptainJelte I’m sick to
Plays, you were sick according to... whom?
some turboprop with high mounted wings are allow to use reverse thrust to back up by themselves
Great Video. Thank You verry much. Greetings from Germany and have a nice evening ☺️
really enjoyed watching that video ..... thanks a lot that was useful
Great stuff . That's a lot of fun and work , even on the ground .
Always simply love ' Mentour ' videos and app.
+Mentour Pilot Hello. Thanks for every video you made. I've got a question.

What would you do? Which actions would you take step by step? ( I asked some questions before but couldn't get any answer so I hope this time it works)
It won't i guess
I'm certain very few pilots would ever say that due to training etc but usually both would agree before making a desicion
Flew last week, some reason i thought they had to be trucked all the way to the run way. I assumed they were just using engine thrust and steering like a zero turn mower, but near as i see from a few videos the front wheel actually turns too and maybe a rudder.
Thanks Peter, another one of my aviation questions answered.
Great video Mentour. I have learned something new. I always do with you. I always wanted to know how pilots taxi their aircrafts. 👍😊
Taxiing is being phased out. Uber is the new way.
Brilliantly Explained sir..... 👌
I love videos like this
For which airlines do you work sir? It was nice video and learning more and more from you Sir.
Thank you Mentour
Never knew you had to hold the brake pedals before engaging/disengaging the parking brake handle. Does the owner let you use their simulator to make these videos? Credit them. These are terrific, more please.
Those must be some crazy monitors in that Sim! Cause only the graphics gave away that it wasn't real, normally you can see the refresh rate.
It depends on the camera as well, if the frame rate matches the simulator it works ok to film.
Thank you for the great information captain 👨🏽✈️💯🙏🏾

Much better overall to just have it pushed back.
Yes!
Cool, always wanted to know how the steering on the ground works.
A detailed tutorial on the autopilot or FMS (flight management system) Whats the difference by the way? would be nice!
Each & every aspect of aviation videos are meticulously explained with their own importance & hats off to you captain and please go ahead with much more videos
Don't forget to top up the blinker fluid. Very important while turning aircrafts at large and complex airports. ☺️
Great video again. Can you explain the white trails behind an aircraft at high altitude and why those trails arn't always as long visable as some other days.
I thought at some airports you can "thrustback" using the reversers, but it can result in damage to the engines
It's also incredibly loud and uses a lot of fuel.
And the terminal building or anyone in front of the plane.
Can you turn the plane on the ground by reducing thrust to one engine to idle and increase thrust to the other engine, say a twin engine plane!?
Yes you can to a certain extent. Not the best way to keep control and is usually not used
it wouldnt turn at a very good angle. to actually do turns on taxiways etc you could possibly do it with reverse thrust in 1 engine and full in the other.
but yeah as the first guy said its basically never used.
Best pilot ever. How can I fly in your plane? Is it possible to chose a flying root with a certain aircraft and crew, or is it unpredictable?
Ryaaaaan what? Route😉 Its is usually pretty unpredictable
Perfect and fantastic !
Learning everytime
Excellently explained, Thank you very much.🙏
Does the tiller turn the nose wheel? I might have missed your explanation on what actually makes the airplane to turn on the ground. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them very much.
On your small outboard engine there usually is a tiller to steer the boat :-)
Tiller/wheel turns the nose wheel, also on some larger aircraft rudder input will give a small amount of nose input at certain speeds (b747-400).
Great video. And i love the 'I should prob make this very obvious to you guys i am sitting in a simulator right now so im not actually taxiing wildly round Dublin airport'
Thank you. I always wondered how that worked.
Nice teaching. ..
