LetÂŽs start your journey to becoming a professional Airline pilot NOW!!
It's easy to become a pilot, but not in the airlines. That's why I always advice those young ones aspiring to become a pilot that they need to love flying planes and not focus about flying in the airlines. Many aspiring pilots are getting stressed out and lose hope because they're too focused about that airline thing. I told them to remember their dream. That childhood dream of becoming a PILOT. Airline pilot doesn't just define what a PILOT is. Flight instructor is a PILOT, charter pilot is a PILOT, medevac pilot is a PILOT, air force pilot is a PILOT etc... Some licensed pilot are getting blinded with being a pilot for the airlines not knowingly they already fulfilled their dreams. Once you get into that airplane cockpit, I don't care what kind of plane that is but you already fulfilled your dream of becoming a PILOT. Just enjoy flying planes, enjoy being a PILOT whether you're in the airlines or not.
Fantastic comment, couldn't agree more.
My dream is to fly commercial airlines
@@camronjohn3315 Me too but it is not a dream but a goal... I think if you dream about flying for a business you will be very disappointed because in the end it is business not a hobby... if you dream to be a professional pilot your not dreaming to be a pilot as in any field... people who do something as a hobby usually idealize the hobby because they do not have to deal with something they do not like... like people in general :)))
This comment is so wholesome. Thank you.
Thank you
Well the film is great, I know now that I have 3 things missing:
1. Money
2. More money
3. Much more money
Unfortunately it is a great problem in modern pilot training đ. No matter how good you are, you can't get the license without huge money investments. And no one would guarantee that you'll have the pilot job soon after, especially now...
@@johnpark1797 Money and Employment are biggest problems. No matter how good you are... Some countries have government supported programs, but not EU and US.
Money not the problem my problem is my age too damn old now should have done it when I was younger chose a career in he Navy instead
@@steveandrushko75 Still you may fly small private planes. I think...
But why is it so expensive though đđ
Good luck to everyone!
You too
Thx
You too and thanks for that
And you! I'm not even in university yet but I hope this to be my future!
Thanks and I'm actually going to Flight school next year to get my ATPL
Just brought this up with my parents and they laughed at me just now so im Officially deciding right now as of 19 years old i will be a pilot catch me in 10 years mum
Howâs things going man? Iâm also 19 and am really considering this as a career Iâm just hesitant about taking out such a big loan for training.
@@backyardbowhunting3818 17 here. I recently started 6th form. Would like to start gaining some hours at the very least so that I would only have to do the theory when I graduate in about 2 years
@@Nazannex same here but 16
Step one: pull out $300,000 dollar loan
Step 2: Get your cadetship terminated for few years and being stuck with that because T&C
I wish I could like this more than once. After a couple weeks ago when an 11y/o said it was a dream to become a pilot and everyone had nothing more to advise than work hard in school
The other option is to have the government pay for flight training and get enough flight hours for free to get an ATPL. And when you get promoted out of flying or otherwise decide it's time you can go get an airline job. There are drawbacks to this, as there are drawbacks to plans of 'I'll borrow $200,000 for flight school", but it's a real option.
For those who already have the ppl and the great will to continue, then continue progressively by building hours / passing your atpl theory and save money by working at the same time even if you don't like what you do. Spred your modular training over a few years waiting for the aviation industry to recover. And in order to save, do a job in accordance to a bachelor diploma that you previously got or an advanced technician's certificate otherwise you'll endanger your health at the factories and other shitty jobs, that's why if you don't have any other diploma than highschool, continue w/ 2 or 3 years of school, then save and train yourself.
Great video. Gave me some pointers I was wasn't previously aware of. With the state of things currently it might be a couple of years before it's wise to take the plunge as it were. But for now I have my PPL and so I'll continue to gradually build my hours and spend this time to get the process all planned out. My biggest hurdle is financial. But when there's a will there's a way!
Well said ! Continue progressively building hours / passing your atpl theory and save money by working at the same time even if you don't like what you do. Spred your modular training over a few years waiting for the aviation to recover.

Hi, a few years down the line I'm just curious how you got on?
Yay you're linked with Afta I'm so happy
Modular is perhaps the best way to go atm.
I'm currently undergoing my commerial license training.
No point rushing into massive debt.
Lufthansa forfeited their cadetship program for a few years now.
However, the info here differs from what I do in Australia
This is great information! Iâm currently going through the process of becoming a career pilot. Iâm documenting my journey on my CZcams channel. I love your content!
Awesome, best of luck!
@@msromike123 Thank you Sir!
Awesome Gl! I'll definitely watch your videod
How did the training go?
How are you getting on?
This is a great program especially for those entering the aviation industry during a time like this. The concept would be good for other industries as well as getting jobs right out of school is hard across the board. I know this was a lot of work for you guys, but what it will give to the future of pilots is well worth it. Kudos to you!
Have you made it?
Hope you did!
Well, I guess I had an easier time than most as my dad was an executive pilot with a major business in the mid west US and therefore ATP and CFI. They gave him his own Cessna 210 Centurion for personal use so that was the airplane I trained on. The boss really liked me and encouraged him to bring me along with them when they wanted him to fly them to vacation spots, hunting and fishing trips or whatever they wanted to do. I was very young when I started riding in the right seat. Long story short, because of my particular circumstances I got my PPL and instrument rating when I turned 16 and all of it in the 210, which was super charged, fuel injected, 3 blade hot prop, de ice boots, retractable gear, King Silver Crown avionics, DME, and fully IFR/ILS capable. Then worked my way up to multi engine (on their C-421 Golden Eagle) and then FINALLY received my ATPL from my dad by the time I was 22. The beauty of it all was that 1. I got all of my training from start to finish with my dad and on a REAL airplane, not simply a "trainer" such as the Cessna 150 or 152 with lackluster performance, fixed gear, a wimpy little normally aspirated 4 cyl engine without turbo or supercharging, just little fair weather, daylight only rattle trap, rickety rivets. And 2. It didn't cost me or my family one cent, in fact, my dad was actually getting paid by the company because IT WAS HIS JOB! I was just lucky that his boss considrred me the son that he never had.
@Paul Dawson Yeah, I know, and I do consider myself very VERY fortunate to have that kind of support and especially for Bill, my dad's boss. He definitely didn't make it easy for me though, if anything I think he was harder on me than any of his other students. After all of that I joined the air force and had a 12+ year career flying for the world's largest airline. I still fly today and will as long as I can pass the annual flight physical.
@@jimbrewer498 Hey Jim, Can I be the son u might already have??
Thanks for this video, itâll really help me with my future and help many other people so thank you.
Thanks to MentourPilot Iâve realized that I donât have a fear of flying. Iâm just a control freak and hate to be a passenger in any mode of transportation. I need to be in the driverâs/pilotâs seat or nowhere
LH just closed down their own flight school. Basically told their student pilots to go pound sand. Take that as a broad hint about demand for pilots in the near and mid future...
I absolutely agree buddy! I delayed my training here in Melbourne Australia by few years! I thought pilots are meant to be "smart" I guess not smart enough to take subtle common sense hints!đ€đ
There is a reason why this video is out ;)
@@rohitkoulgupta1972 good decision. One can also always learn to fly and a PPL is considerably cheaper than a PPL/MPL/ATPL.
To be precise, they didn't close the entire flight school (there are still LH flight school planes in the air), but they heavily advised their students to look for alternatives as they will have no need for new pilots for maybe a couple of years and sadly you won't get a cockpit after finishing flight school.
Thank you for your help
I am going to work for this itâs a goal better than any other I could think of
Best of luck with APC! Love the direction you are going!
THIS IS A MUST SEE VIDEO
Cool stuff! The whole process is so confusing. Glad to see it broken down into multiple forms!
Thanks Mentor!!
You are more than welcome!
Feel free to come and join up at www.theairlinepilotclub.com
Well explained. Thanks đ
I am sĂł thankfull to recive this advice. I Will follow those steps...
Petter, why can't you just go and fly in flight school and get your license? Why do we need one more company (APC) for that? Do APC have negotiations or agreements with airlines to get employment after getting the license? What about the funding? Do trainees still need to secure loans with their property?
My questions are honest and it would be great to hear the honest answers. The main is: Why do we need the APC?
Don't take it personally.
Thanks
Same questions here, Denys...?
@@PilotWanderlust Yep
Ok, quotes from APC website:
1) Unfortunately, APC are NOT able to provide unsecured funding at the moment due to the current market situation but discussions with international banks and airlines are still on going. We are hoping for a breakthrough in this area during the coming years.
2) We are WORKING on establishing partner airlines that will give successful APC graduates access to interviews and thereafter, employment.
Good luck with that...
@@PilotBlogDenys đ€
Some of the airlines must be secretly glad because of the pandemic, as that takes out some of their competitors and therefore not as much pilot recruitment is needed as previously predicted. ATO's would not have been able to meet demand otherwise and most airlines want ready-made pilots they don't have to pay much for.
ive been watching a lot of these videos for my future and i swear...im going to explode my brain cant take it anymore
idk which one to chose how to convince my parents. oh god
Thank you for the well illustrated and easily explained video mate!!
So any other noises not mentioned in this video, I will be watching out sweating bulletsđđ
If i ever won a massive amount of money, an i mean massive amount,, i would pay as much as it took to learn to fly a jet liner just for fun.. I am a massive aviation enthusiast and would love the challenge.. Ive had a few sessions in a A320 simulator but at around ÂŁ200 a session sometimes more its not cheap... Great video
I did one on Boeing 737
i always wanted to be a pilot but i think i really have to think with my head rather with my heart. im going to do my
Bachelor of Science in Paramedic Studies . might think about getting some flying lessons though. this program is going to really open the door for prospective pilots out there though.
then become a flight medic :-)
We don't need a night flying certificate in the U.S. Also, we usually get our instrument rating after the private pilot license. Thank you for the amazing content as always.
I'm currently enrolled in a University Pilot training program.
Petter, you have done a fantastic job presenting all this information in a very logical and easy to understand video. Well done.
In my country there are only 2 schools that compete against each other and as such the prices are very high. One day i will resume my fight training
The only advantage to an MPL I see is if you really hate flying small planes, but you really like flying the big ones
Your program sounds highly professional. Thought Iâd ask Mr.OâShea .....Iâm an OâShea by birth with both grandparents from Cty Cork....canât help but wonder about your ancestors!
I absolutely loved my first few light aircraft flying lessons but unfortunately I wasn't in a position to be able to afford to continue. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia while studying at uni, which, I'm guessing would disqualify me from commercial pilot training đ
Why ? Thatâs not true at all Bruh as long as ur eye sight is fine you should have no problem
@@Killerrob-rn3os Yeah good eye sight and good understanding about basic maths and physics, this person couldve probably pursued. Only the cost is what holds people back
I know everything about playing I want to be a airline pilots so much Iâm training
I was really looking forward to this video. Clicked right away when I got the notification.
Ok
Since everyone here is sharing thier stories, I would like to share mine too. Last summer I went to Poand for an internship an I met a flight academy student who was training for his CPL. He explained to me how to achieve my dream and I was inspired to pursue it. I was already making plans on how to save enough money in a few years, where to take my PPL, build flight hours and get the CPL at the lowest possible price. I also got the news that the local airport in my city is going to be restored by 2023 so I was already dreaming about having it as an operative base. Then Covid happened.
Now, knowing that a lot of pilots are being let down, students discharged and that lots of companies will start working by remote, I don't think It would be a wise career choice anymore.
Right now I just finished studying as a 3D printing and composite material technichian, which gives me a lot of career options even in this trying times and I guess that If I get a good job there won't be a reason for me to give up all I gained in order to become a pilot.
I was also thinking tha becoming an helicopter pilot would be cool as well, but while for planes the road was paved and I just needed the money, for helicopters It's a bit more difficult.
Thank you soo much for the information I was looking forward this video . I really enjoy your videos and I have learnt some things
Military is always an option for hours
Thanks for the video!
The most difficult is to build the first 1000 hours, especially the first 500.
Why is that?
@@shakkadelorean6669 because, nobody wants to employ
I don't believe that it has been stated earlier, however Andy O'Shea was the former head of training with Ryanair. Great guy.
Irregardless, now is not the time to start flight training.
Good jobs
I as well a future young pilot
Hi Peter, as somebody who is halfway through training ATPL modular training is there any point in joining the ALP club?
Or is it just for complete the âAb Initioâ category..
Yes
16 th viewer from India
not relevant in current situation, me and most of my cadet friends are stuck with passed ATPL having bit more than 200 hours while more experienced pilots are being fired. And it looks like world is not going to be like before for at least 5 years or more because of economic crisis that definitely will happen following a corona. Also there will be changes in business aviation because companies found out that every meeting could be done via skype or similar without being present spending thousands on accommodation and transfer. Mentour, with all respect you shouldn't make that video without saying that we won't get our first job in years and years. Better make video how we should live without any chance of employment and where our knowledge could be useful !
Is there a limited number of Indicative Assement results/outputs for a period of time? I suppose simply paying for it doesn't guarrantee you'll get instant results, no?
What I'm asking is: should I be rushing to get it sooner rather than later because of the risk of the line of people wanting the IAs getting too long backed up!?
Excellent information, thank You so much!
You are more than welcome
What I like the most about a pilot career is their is no
"I just did it because my dad told me to do it"
Iâm an airline pilot, and a dad, and I will definitely be telling my kids NOT to do it.
@@normannutbar424 đđđ. I also hope my kids don't show an interest in it. Where will I get 300k from
@@maiden5427 itâs very much a heart-driven career.
@@normannutbar424 True
The thing about pilots is that there are hundreds of different types of pilot types. If the airline industry is bad due to coronavirus then other alternatives is perhaps joining the military
Military never interested me to be honest. You need to do amazing in school and be lucky really
Im a private pilot and my nephew just graduated hs in the US and wants to become an airline pilot. Unfortunately he has very slight colorblindness. He can tell colors apart without a problem but struggles with the ishihara plate test on 2 plates. We talked to the FAA and they said if he fails the ishihara test he can take a fansworth lantern test as an alternate which he can pass no problem. The question i have is, do airlines have their own health screening/medical in addition to the faa class 1? He really wants to be an airline pilot but is worried about spending all this money and get rejected by airlines when it comes time to get hired due to them only accepting/administering Ishihara...any advice from active ATPs with a US based airline would be greatly appreciated!
Congratulations on the launch.
Which ATO in Germany is good for Pilot training according to APC ?
Mentour pilot what do you say to people who are putting their training off for a few years because of the shape of the industry at present because of the pandemic?
Let the airlines look after their own pilots first before recruiting more and making a bags of it all
See you up there in 2 years, pilots
Please also make an video of aviation management also
Make a video specifically about aviation management courses etc also .
Step one, change your name to Auto.
cheers from Canada
Missed out the UPRT element
At 7:10 and 9:40 - it's so strange seeing Petter delivering information whilst STANDING UP.

I need to know one of your flight schools
We all have that one childhood dream,
Amazing you can learn to do literally anything on CZcams these days
3 questions
Whats involved in the assessment
Do you have to do your assessment and the cut - e one
Can you be a member without doing the assessment yet I have an idea of where I need help
Brilliant information thank you, I will watch a few more times to get it.
could anyone direct me in a free way or the cheapest way to obtaining my pilot licence ?
I havenât got that money but What I do have is time & can make a few things happen, I am willing just need to find the most efficient route
During flight school how do I provide for my family? Financial aid?
Iâm an airline pilot, but thank goodness Iâm also a registered nurse.
Honestly, aviation has always felt like a hobby-job to me. Itâs so unstable and unpredictable!
Iâm really proud that I did it. It took me 15 years and probably around $250,000, but honestly, I wouldnât recommend it, as a career. Not unless youâve got a very strong plan B.
hii...I'm also doing nursing and though I still have the dream...I luck enough money for training
Do it modular
Me, hour building in a cessna with a six pack and no gps with only a map and onboard compass:
Interesting
I have a question, do you have a higher chance of being hired if youâve been in the military or Air Force? And you still have to go flight school and get your licences even if your a military pilot? Just curious...
Great vid btw Mentour đđŸ
Military aviators are desired. It's nearly impossible for a non military pilot to rack up the kind of flying hours as military pilots, especially as a pilot in command. Military trained pilots have an easier path to obtain their ATP licenses as well. But military pilots have a long service commitment in exchange for flight training. They need to have a college degree and be a commissioned officer to even be eligible to apply for flight training. Between flight training and the service commitment, you'd have 12 years of military service before you could leave (which means only 8 more years to retire with a generous pension and benefits). But it's not a bad deal considering they can start an airline career in their early 40s while also collecting a pension and have the GI bill to pay for additional flight training afterwards.
Okay with respect with the future so bleak why would you want to invest in such a future atleast for next couple of yearsđ€. I wanted to start my flight training here in Melbourne Australia this year however I have intentionally delayed it by few years and I am 30yrs and instead trying to further establish my other careers (surprised why pilots are having hard time finding employment!??đ€ Because as disciplined etc etc pilots are reality is the biggest skill they lack in is customer service apart from many others) I hope all people particularly take hints and do not destroy their happiness nor their lives atleast for few years by going through becoming a pilot at the moment ! Wait atleast few years!
Hello, I too am from Melbourne and going for my commercial liecence.
Can pay off the remainder of the course debt free, but will need to allow for global recovery.
Although atm, planning to go back working, save up to do multi instrument rating in a modular course.
And to pick up other skills/work in meantime.
@@mangoszki4531 hey fellow citizen! Hope you are keeping well buddy! Sincerely happy to hear your progress Champ! Keep going!

Such a shortage of pilots rn but it costs so much just to become one so I wonder why at the same time there are other reasons to this
START BY don't pick this time where country to country has a serious lockdown. there is no one allowed to fly to different countries travel or study
what about getting your training through the air force? do military pilots earn some licence that can be useful in becoming an airline pilot? is it a good way to acumulate flight hours for free?
Yes.

?
I'd say so providing you still pass the Class 1 medical reqs. I point to the case of a pilot in Vietnam who had Coronavirus so badly the hospital were preparing a lung transplant. He said that it might take a year or two but he looks forward to getting back in the air. So he had it as bad as it comes bar dying from it, so looks ok. I have a minor medical issue at the moment which has suspended my class 1 but I am working closely with my AME and we are expecting things to be back right again, and so then me flying again in about Feb.
@@daleferrier3050 oh okay! Thank you for your information. Get well soon!
Depends on if you need medication, and what type, afterwards. FAA rules are for the most part, structured around functional limitations, risk of sudden incapacitation, and potential medication side effects. I do not see a problem for you, although its possible. Most SARS respiratory effects are typically mild and temporary.
so noone is going to mention the fact that the background-music is played over itself?
Has anyone used the Gi Bill for pilot training before?
