Aircraft YOKE (Steering wheel), how does it work?
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 30. 07. 2024
- If you have ever seen the "steering wheel", the YOKE, of a Boeing 737NG aircraft, you will have noticed that it has a lot of little buttons and numbers on it.
This episode will cover what all those little buttons do and how to use them in the right way.
I will cover the numerical memory device, the checklist and plate holder, the autopilot disconnect switch and the ATC/FLT transmit buttons as well as the yokes impact on the different flight controls of the aircraft.
I hope you will enjoy this episode and if you have questions about other buttons or functions inside the cockpit, let me know and I can cover it in a future video.

Said the sidestick: "Am I a Yoke to you???"
Citizen Oneofmany nice
Are u a jokeđđ
Yes I Am a Joke To You đąđąđąđą đđđđđ
That is a yoke bot side stick
He was straight to the point, not yoking around
The interesting thing with the âtrim switchâ is itâs split in half. One half controls the stab trim motor and the other half releases the âbrakeâ. And you can operate one half from one yoke and the other half from opposite yoke as they are in parallel. Great vid!
Which button fires the cannons?
That's optional equipment, and most of the time you have to order the new yoke.
Iâll cover that in next episode.
So there's no IDENT button on the yoke?
It's the one right next to the chemtrails button!
I'm more interested in which ones release the chem-trails!
Note: That's a joke, I'm not being serious. People who believe in chemtrails are morons.

Airbus: the Boeing yoke is a joke
Boeing: airbuses joystick is a video game
By the way if you already didnt know its caled a side stick :)
Petter is just so unique. Absolutely loved this video. Such positivity in this channel. Life long supporter of this channel đšđŒââïžâ€ïž
As a 737 fan, this is just the best page I have come across that covers all I need to know in detail, yet simple terms. Great job! All the way from Kenya.
Love your videos! When I was a flight student 20 years ago I was lucky enough to have a flight instructor like you. However, my flight instructor was a retired Lufthansa captain (Heinz Göldner - may he rest in peace) who was a captain for aircrafts starting with the Super Constellation up to the 747. It is great to have a mentor. I admire your work. And by the way, your cheerful and friendly attitude is awesome :-)
âThatâs a proper jokeâ - Iâm sure most Airbus enthusiasts would agree đđđđ»

Must be nice having a Channel where there is no end to the videos you can make. To bad your Company dosent just let you show us anything you want. Would be nice to see behind the scenes. Like interview baggage handlers, people who fuel the jet, ect,ect.
Takes alot more then a Pilot to keep it all going. Since you explain things so well, this would be nice. Great Video, as normal.
my favorite part is those numbers you turn to use as a memory reminder, never thought it would be used for such a simple thing as a reminder, pretty cool
This pilot is so classy and friendly at the same time, an awesome person!
Absolutely awesome! Learnt something new today, thanks to you!
Great!
Hate that side stick. Yoke makes one feel closer to and more in control of the airplane
Daniel Brown At least it has more room.
I love Boeing, why? I don't like the joystick on Airbus and like the yoke on Boeing is amazing! My dream is to be a pilot! I like Airbus a bit cause of more leg room for pilots, but harder to steer Airbus joystick, but I like the Airbus tray tables for pilots, I don't know what plane i like more, Airbus or Boeing!?
Skaiste Gustaityte Airbus is easier to steer. You need to use 2 hand for being and 1 for Airbus. That way the pilots on Airbus can use the side stick and engines at the same time. Plus, Boeing Aircraft arenât as reliable.
One of the best and detailed videos I ever seen đđđđ
Congratulations for your videos! As usual, it a pleasure to discover the operational side of this amazing aeronautical world. There is no video that I don't learn something new. Thanks
I'm not sure if you have realised that your channel is by far the best and most entertaining aviation channel on CZcams. Period.
I confirm
Thanks, Mentour Pilot, that was very clear and concise. Have a nice weekend or flight, whichever the case may be!
Thank you Neil! You to!
I almost learn more with you than in school đđ. Really nice video, thanks!
Great!
No doubt about that!
Alvaro Cifuentes haha....imagine i also do.Ive not yet started trainning bjt i know pretty much.thanks to him!
I have learned more about aviation In the last 6 months by watching Mentour pilot than 30 years of reading books and 10 years of normal internet. Thank you !!
The podcasts that you make are easy to understand,fun and in simple language and also i love the way you speak!!!
I love your podcasts sir!!!!!!Keep it up sir!!!!!!!
Congratulations on the Silver award from CZcams!
Thank you!
There's not enough words to describe how amazing your channel is đ
Thanks! Iâm so happy you guys like it!
That's my opinion too he's absolutely great I wish one day to become a pilot like him but in airbus.
ÎÎÎÎ΀ΥÎÎŁ ÎÎ΄ÎÎ΀ΠI would also love to be a pilot. Good Luck!
Agreed!
Mentour Pilot gives us some THICC quality content! Also 737 is my favorite plane so it's *EXTRA THICC!*
awesome and beautiful explanation of every little stuff.just amazing .I am huge fan of you Captain.hats off.
The yoke is no joke :) Fantastic as usual, thanks for posting, really informative!
Hello Captain. Thank you so much for this video. I always tried to understand the difference between the Boeing Yoke and the Airbus Side Stick. This was truly helpful. Congratulations once again for the CZcams Silver Button. It's truly a massive achievement. Likedđđđ
Thank you! I am almost at 200K now so things are moving quickly!
You're welcome Captain. I am sure you will reach 1 million subscribers soon. All the bestđđ

Hello mentour, can you please give information about ice detectors and other probes, their functions and the vital roes they play! I really love watching your videos as they are a great source of knowledge! Thank you for everything!â€
I will see what I can do!
Mentour Pilot Thanks a lot sir, you made my day!đđđ
Excelent, finally i found the explanarion, ty very much mentour, thanks for this channel and for sharing with us this information.
Always fun to watch these, I wanted to a pilot growing up, but vision issue got in the way.
Hah! Nice try, but you're not fooling me. What those "trim" buttons really control is clearly the driver and passenger side power windows... ;)
Hahahah...
Or the chemtrail release button. Lol
So probably there's only one button on the FO's side.
Petter, have you ever thought of flying the big boys in the future? 777, 787 etc :D
Awesome video and thanks for taking a moment to show us the workings the how the yoke functions. I have always been interested in aviation. I have subscribed to your channel and please keep up the great work with these videos :).
I just want to say thanks for sharing so many details on so many interesting aircraft topics! Iâm not a pilot but I appreciate the generous giving of your time and expertise. I live near Boeing Field in the Seattle area and aviation is all around.
You made my day great again
Thank you! Thatâs the target.
Mentour Pilot keep going with your work an enthusiasm
nice one. Interesting and informational as always. You got me at "side stick on the side... AAAAND the Boeing has a proper yoke, something to really hold on to". So true. Tactile feedback for the win!
Great information as always!
The videos in the real cockpit are the best. It reminds you that you are learning about the real thing. It feels like everything is âsimulator onlyâ but not here
"You're so cool be blessed be safe and be happy all the way,,,,,. đđđ.
That was a great video and that's no yoke.
I'll show myself out ... ;o)
Hello capitĂĄn I'm a pilot in Colombia (South America) and I Watching all your amazing videos about aviation , everyday I get more knowledge about aviation because of you. Thank you very much for take time to make the videos and share with everyone.
Hector
This video is absolutely fantastic! Thank you!
I hate to correct one of your great videos, but... The reason why the trim is split in two is to make it less likely to get a trim runaway. You can test that each side does not work by themselves, and in doing that you know that if one side were to ground, you wouldn't have a trim runaway because the other side isn't.
Hmmm, interesting. I have never heard that but there might be something to it.
The dual trim switch disconnects both sides of the manual trim motor. As already mentioned it allows stopping the manual trim motor in case one of the dual switch sections shorts
Regarding the event of un-commanded manual trim motor operation there is a guarded stab trim main elect cutout switch on the throttle quadrant
With respect to the autopilot trim, the autopilot monitors the manual trim motor and disconnects the autopilot with any manual trim motor operation.
If the autopilot trim has un-commanded operation there is also a guarded stab trim autopilot cutout switch on the throttle quadrant
^^ This was always my understanding of why there were two trim switches...
You are my favorute pilot
Thank you!!
More videos like this!! Very well explained thank you Montour Pilot
So crystal clear in your explanation! Thank you!
I am a Boeing supporter *just because of yoke* đđ
And that's no joke. :D
Most pilots donât care. Salary and lifestyle are more important.
Sitting in an Airbus simulator and I felt more like a video game. Let the A v B arguments commence.
If It Ain't Boeing, I Ain't Going!
After 15 years on the 737 i was happy to transfer to the airbus. Exactly because of the yoke. Face it, even on shorthaul flights we don't fly the airplane manually anyway, it is on autopilot most of the time. Much better to have a table instead to do your paperwork on, eat the company provided food (or the one you bring from home) or solve your sudokus. Funny enough, on the newer boeing airplanes like the 777 and the 787 the yoke is much much smaller than on the 737, for exactly that reason. It is in the way over 95% of the time.
Really informative ,well done bro đđ
Thank you! Great to hear that you enjoyed it!
Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Very nice video captan
I'm wondering; The trimwheels, are they connected to anything driven by something to do with the actual trim setting, or are they just an optical confirmation driven by a separate motor?
Also, is the radio/mike switch always on the Yoke at commercial airliners?
The trim wheels are real trim wheels, mechanically coupled to the trim screw and working as manual controls if needed. He has an episode where he explains the trim controls nicely.
Yep the wheels are connected by a chain to a drum below the console. That drum is connected by a very long cable to a drum in the tail which turns the jack screw that moves the stabilizer up and down.
Mentour Honestly you are the best CZcamsr that I have ever seen can you explain about Autobrakes in a 737 ??? That will help me a Lot Anyways as Always I liked Thanks Petter :)
Thank you! There will be more instruments and controls explained soon.

unsure but i think _King Schools_ guys might have something on it. NOT w.r.t. 737 though.

Just wondering... If Airbus had an yoke instead, could it have prevented the 447 Air France Crash since the first officer kept pulling the sidestick while the PIC was not him? Could they notice this error if that action were noticeable as handling a yoke?
If they were connected, possibly.
great as always!
Love the information. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video. Very informative. Thanks.
thank you so much for uploading!
Can you make a video there you show how to start a 737?
I have a video on that. Check it out!
A start from cold and dark would be intresting, not just the engine start.
@@MentourPilot can u provide me the link sir please
Are there still actual mechanical links (steel cables / hydraulics ) on a Boeing / 737 Yoke?
Yes, the 737 is still mechanically connected to all the flight controls.
that would require a lot of man to control such a big plane right
It is connected to hydraulics, similar to how power steering works on your car. I don't think it would be possible to move the rudders only with muscle strength.
Amazing, was waiting for this. Thank You Mentour.
You are more than welcome, there are much more videos to come!
Love your videos mentour!! Thanks!
I love the German pronunciation of Yoke. I know Mentor did a great job pronouncing it, but mostly they will say "joke" :)
Hahaha, yeah.
Normally that's a Spanish pronunciation...I think!
The Yoke: 'Am I a Joke to you?'
Did u get the am i a joke to you from swiss001? Lol
@@thedoeverything418 nah
Mentour: Jes
Thanks captain i enjoyed the video
Wow!! Another super informative video! You are the man!!!
Hi Mentour. I'd like to know how do you taxi at night. Do you use a GPS or a simple map?
We use normal paper (EFB) maps and looking outside.
A quarter mile at a time. Always with hopes and dreams.
YOKE is much better than Stick :). Great video btw!
Thank you! Great to hear that you liked it!
Not really better one or the other.
Well, in my Citrabria, it's all "Stick & Rudder" PTT button on top of stick. That's about it.
Once, just for fun, got two toilet-plungers, two bicycle grips, installed PTT buttons in the grips, and held "ground-school" simulator-session using two folding chairs in-tandem. Great fun, as we practiced in the FBO. The "observers" even provided engine sounds and radio-static, and pattern-calls, etc. THEN, the flight-school owner walked-in, and wasn't too happy we were having so much fun. Oh well!
Your commentaries are awesome. You explain different functions in terms that an aviation enthusiast can understand. I was wondering if you have done a video or would consider doing on intercepting the localizer and glide slope which you hear repetitively watching videos. Thanks again for your explicit videos!
Well done captain. Learned a lot
Are you sure a 'y' makes the same sound as a 'j'? Or are you just joking?
how would you pronounce it then? edit : how do we pronounce ' Y' OU edit#2 'J' is more like 'DJ' like :" DJoke" if you understand what im saying here.
No, he was yoking...
Mohahaha!
Yoking? đ
That would be the infamous scandinavian accent kicking in..
This video has not too many funny yokes...
...I am sorry.
the yoke... sits here, right between the legs of the pilot
Hahahaha
Stenic LL no euphemisms for genitals please :P
+PietroSoft
European dialects are different even if using the English letters and accents do kick in, it's okay.
We had someone from Akzo group, (remember; Volkswagen is 'F'olkswagen), who would always (mis)pronounce our colleague Vijay'rangam as Fi-je-rangam (sounds: Phee Jey Run gum)
(In India, we have such last names/ father's name)
it was humourous back then when we first heard such differences (1993-97)
Spock * I remember seeing an interview of a Swedish gamer and he says "yoking". From context I knew he meant joking.
Thanks! My friend was asking me this yesterday. I'll give him this video.
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION MENTOUR.
Fernando Alonso be like: "This is a yoke!"
Finally! I found someone who likes planes and F1!
Alonso: "Where are 747 and A380?"
Engineer: "Fernando they have been retired"
Alonso: *"KARMA"*

Hi Mentour, Iâm a really short guy (163cm) and I was wondering if i could still be a pilot or even be able to see out of the window
Yeah, with 163 you are on the short side but should be ok.
Mentour Pilot thank you :)
maybe they will give you a booster seat,? sorry, that was a yoke
The seats have up/down adjustments and forwards/backwards adjustments. Also, the rudder pedals can be adjusted forwards/backwards. Of course, the adjustments have limitations. I'm 190cm, and it is difficult to find a perfect position on some aircraft. You may be ok.
ImperrfectStranger thank you :)
Wow, nice. Im learning a lot. Thank You
man i love the intro, engines powering up --- 100% of pure awesome!
Have you ever been in a stall situation mentour?
But in an airliner, in a Sim and during training, Yes.
Stalls arenât a big deal at all, and are (generally) easily recovered. Pilots are required to practice *inducing* and recovering from stalls during training and ongoing recurrency.
Commercial airliners are put through exhaustive batteries of tests and maneuvers, including stalls and recovery performance; after certain intervals, repair events and /or major maintenance and overhaul.
Obviously this isnât accomplished during commercial operations, with passengers onboard.
ESS A YOOOOOOOOOOKE
Yes it is!
Great video thanks, I always wondered about the number counter on yoke, if it was for remembering flight numbers. Cool.
Awesome video man !!
Have you heard that captain joe is getting an upgrade to B747?
Oh well, he is changing company, yes. If itâs an upgrade you will have to ask him about.
He is asking every day: "what is that damn thing i have in front of me?" "it's a yoke!" "stop joking me!!!"
Alessandro Moretti he is still searching for the table...
oseo943 because of the yoke in Boeing 738-700 engine failed and killed one person- the reason poor maintenance and cheap aircraft
Review Flying so there is a connection between yoke and engine failure... interesting point of View. Or... itâs a joke?
Yoke: am I a joke to you?
Yoke: am I a yoke to you? *
I love this, its soo clear and straight to the point. Thanks capt
You are simply amazing sir...!! I am in love wth 737, very good to know abt the yoke nd thkz to u sir..!!

Brilliant video
Hello again from HongKong, Mentour! Loving your videos
Thank you! Hello from Spain!
Sorry, I still prefer the Airbus side stick. Great video mentour! Boeing does make rather good aircraft btw.
Wath is V1? Can u make a vid on that?
Nagarjuna N *when you pass it
+Nagarjuna N, in very exceptional cases there HAVE BEEN rejected takeoffs past Vâ but before rotation.
if there is enough runaway left and in dire emergencies when the structural integrity of the ship would compromise towards worse or already some major issue has been noticed/ say engines burnout or landing gear issues.
with smaller aircraft (say: Embraer ERJs or Bombardier) or those with lesser start and stop tiime lags; there HAVE been cases of rejected take offs just prior to rotation also
*but that is mostly only when there is decisive loss of controls or such damage as would make the plane un-flyable.*
all these discussions and thoughts really took ground after the Concorde incident!
Flying my single engine, four seater, with four pistons under the cowling, I always had to be at V1 before I start to think about rotating.
Ok. Now i know wath V1 is. Thx dude u are realy Nice!
If Vr
Great !! Informative as always !
I have been very curious about these watching them being used, thanks for the videođ
DONT EVER CALL IT A STEERING WHEEL U JETSKI
It's the "Tiller" that actually steers the aircraft on the ground.. no yoke !
@@Biggles2498 yeah i know lol
great, a yoke. i hate those modern sidesticks
I don't like how the Captain's sidestick and the Co-Pilot's sidestick work independently on Airbus. The yokes in Boeing aircrafts move in unison.
Yokes do seem much safer.
In 2009, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean because both pilots in the cockpit had no idea that the other pilot was manipulating the side stick in the opposite directions when the airspeed indicator malfunctioned. The Airbus A330 eventually stalled and crashed into the ocean. This could never happen with the yoke because they don't work independently.
Kevin P âą The idea of independent operation of the sidesticks just drives me bonkers. How there are not Airbus crashes daily, I don't know. I guess the communication between the professional pilots is superb and the left hand ALWAYS knows what the right hand us doing. The unfortunate 2009 accident is testament to when the idea fails, or when ego or some other issue or event gets in the way?
wow i never knew this was so helpfull! thank you
Great explanation as usual!
