- When you decide to become a pilot and go to flight training, you have to learn a whole new vocabulary. And when you become an airline pilot you have to learn a new set of aviation words, I explain 10 important ones in this video!

When I had passed my Instrument Rating over 20 years ago I asked an Air Hostess upstairs 1st Class on a Virgin Atlantic 747 if I could visit the flight deck I took my Licence with me when The Captain agreed so I was thrilled however he allowed me to sit in the Captain's seat for about 3 hours with the co pilot so he could have a sleep ! I can't imagine that being allowed now ! I forgot to get my licence signed damn but I can boast I flew left hand seat with co pilot and flight engineer. This is completely true and I felt like a King !
Roy C Horton In 1979 I was 10. I flew to Malta; the first time I ever flew (on 73'). I was a geeky "how, why" kid & the FA asked the captain if I could go up & he said yeh. I mean, can you imagine. He let me sit in the left seat but only for a minute or two. I'll never forget that experience. I'd so love to do it now that I know more... Bless that captain.....
Where did he sleep?
@@HappyQuailsLC In the crew room with beds.
I don't want to 'like' this great comment because there are......74 Likes!
I was in a group for a seminar about Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (blueprint type), and the instructor flew all over the country, in his own plane. He said there are four general rules to flying: Blue side up, Pointy end forward, Keep the fans running, and When landing put the rollers down. I wonder if anyone else ever heard of these rules.
On the maintenance side of things, we often drop the first 7 on the Boeings, the "57" or the "67" and the 777 we call a "trip 7". Were I am now we only have 2 flavors of Airbus, the 300 and 310 so we call those the "bus" and the "short bus". When ever someone, usually management, comes in for a base visit you hear the term "he/she is jumping in" or "they'll be jumping out" referring to using the jump seat. Of course on the maintenance side of things there is a whole other set of vocabulary words to learn. You could do an entire video series just on acronyms that anybody using or working on an airplane needs to know. Oh, and a lot of them change depending on the manufacturer! PD and ND or PFD and MFD, EICAS or ECAM, ACP or GCP or MCP, etc... and etc...
Great video, I've been enjoying them.
When I was a fueler I handled (who I am sure is) your company, the wrenchbenders at that station called them 'the bus' and 'the baby bus'. The competition, I noticed, tended to follow the pilots on the boeing side, dropping the last 7, but my pops has been known to drop the first 7 (especially when talking about 757s), he's in maint w/ your competition.
For someone who has always had a fear of heights and repressed his anxiety when he flew, I want this guy the pilot my plane.
well thats very nice of you Koala, I am making a new series answering common questions or concerns people have about aviation I hope you are subscribed so you see when it comes out.
I second that!
We truck drivers have dead head too.Its when we head to another location with an empty trailer to pick up a load.
I thought that was bob tail?
@@pooletrainboy bobtail is when you're driving without a trailer deadhead is when you're driving with an empty trailer... or a dead hooker in your lap, one or the other.
I guess you could be bobtailing to another load which could also be called a dead head and if you're doing that with a dead hooker you could be bobtailing deadhead while getting deadhead.
Truck Driver tanker driver to be specific feel pilots and truck drivers have alot in common.
in fluid systems dead heading is when a pump is pushing a fluid into a shut valve.
So when are you doing a colaboration with captain joe?😃
maybe when the channel gets bigger he will want to do a video with me 🤔
Two 747 Pilots... Now that's one helluva an episode
@@largesoda1729 uhm? Captain Joe is an A380 pilot.
@@xxxxxGhostBoyxxxxx I don't know if this is a joke or not...
@@74gear if u guys do like that one guy said u guys are both 747 pilots🤷♂️
The 777 is just called “the triple”. AKA the only Boeing that is dyslexic proof.
Kent Krizman doog to know.🤣
As long as that isn't confused with a triple engine MD10 or MD11. They could call it 21 or jackpot too....

0:45 I was wondering. Your voice was deeper than usual.
Same
I thought I had some activated some EQ on my browser or something.
I noticed that too. I kinda like it even better than his usual voice. Too bad it happens only when he has the cold.
Maybe his voice was breaking?
I have one for you, Tarmac. I love how the media and pretty much everyone thinks there's an area of the airport called the tarmac. Every news outlet, whenever anything plane-related happens, that word will creep out. For some reason, they can't say runway, taxiway, ramp or apron.
Antonio Guerrero I am not a huge fan of using the term “ramp” either, because it is not an expression the FAA uses. Technically, it’s an outdated expression mainly used in the USA, so chances are, if you say “ramp” in Europe, people will be confused. The proper term is “apron.” It makes me cringe even more when I hear terms improperly used in videos and programs that specialize in aircraft and/or the airline industry.
@@theamazingchamp Interestingly though, there still aren't any _apron_ agents around
I think I'd rather get ramp checked than apron checked;-)
Antonio Guerrero Now you are in my area of expertise. Tarmac is an OLD term, short for tar macadam. Macadam is gravel surfacing developed in the 1800’s by a
Scot named McAdam. Then gravel was mixed with bitumens and called tarmacadam. Asphalt pavement is more correctly called asphaltic concrete.
@@theamazingchamp ramp and apron are two different areas
I think we will never defeat him during staring contest.. jk ;D
Ajim Amin i agree haha
Lol ... yeah I know where I'd place my bet! One of my favourites is Lufthansa pilots flying to Africa, it is, of course, done extremely properly. During take-off and pre-flight the pilot's eyes are everywhere, very focussed, planning for problems and strictly sterile during these periods. A masterclass in SOPs and best practice imo.
Lmao. Haha he dose not blink
I feel threatened
As a general rule, most people in the aviation business have beady eyes.
At last I know what "Keep the blue side up" means!! Thank you, Kelsey.
When laying sod, it's "green side up"
The first was pretty interesting. Here in Germany we abbreviate the Boeing planes the other way around, we skip the first seven... and say "auf der drei sieben" oder die "acht sieben".
hmm interesting... well now we both learned something today! 😂
Hi Kelsey, Charlie- pilot here (Canadian). First off, I really enjoy and appreciate your content. I fly 406s, but I worked with the guys in the 705s, and I learned my aviation lingo that way. Up here we say the last 2 numbers for the equipment. I.e 37, 67, 87, 19/20/21, 30... 777 is just 'triple'... RJ is for referring to the CRJ, and we say E90 or E75 for the Brazilian. Also, Jumpseat at one point turned into simply 'jump' - "I'm gonna ride in the jump". 'FA' does get used in conversation without too much fret...
See what happens is, speech gets shortened down to as little words as possible so our frozen jaws don't fall off in this forsaken 6 month tundra.
🤣 ya I am not a huge fan of the Canadian winter for sure but strange how different the words we use... thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I work IT at one of the Canadian Airlines and it's just good to know some things as you may have to work with someone that is a crew member. So having these learning videos helps.
I'm not even a pilot, but I know those terms DeCaprio used were common in that time. Puddle jumpers were the little propjets used by the regionals.
One of the first things I learned is how easy it is to become disoriented in clouds. That you can think that the artificial horizon is incorrect and flip the aircraft. The instructor always said it is far easier to happen than you think and to drop your pen or clipboard if you are sure your indicator is not correct.
BTW: the artificial horizon was a real ball in an oil filled glass back then and they did not always behave.
I am starting my PPL training this weekend!
That is fantastic Dee Anna... as you go along if you ever have questions feel free to leave me a comment on here I will try to get back to you
Videos like this help a lot. I watch some of them and think "Hey! I already know that. I'm so smart!" Then, I'll watch a more technical one about crosswind landings or shooting an ILS, and I'm like "whaaaaat?" 🤷♀️😕
@@deeanna8448 im the same way lol...i see some things and i get them, then i watch another video and see something else that is totally foreign to me. i might only be in middle school, but i should probably figure out some of that stuff before i get out of high school, go to flight school, and become completely clueless lol
Dee Anna Good luck!
Passed your written yet?
Wow, I only subscribed to you a few weeks ago when you were at 21,000 subscribers. Good to see your channel growing.
Your content is great!
ya we are slowly growing, I have some really big video ideas for later in the year but I need the channel to be bigger first... thanks for being part of the 74 crew Mann!
198k now 😁
@@LordInter And now 677 😆
Im totally impressed by the quality your videos kelsey. Keep em coming!
well they have come a long way, still working to improve them though, but thanks so much for watching AMB.
You should collab with Captain Joe, you both have common topic
Love the new intro & editing you’re evolving into a fantastic aviation CZcamsr
very kind of you Hoodini, like everything it takes time to get good but I am glad you are seeing the improvements!!
Two important words....1. unable. 2. Go-around
A-firm, copy that!
10-4 rubber ducky
3. Pitch up
4. Stick shaker
5. Aerodynamic stall
6. Rapid descent
7. Shit we're dead
8. BIRDS!!!!!
Go-around :i think when the plane in the landing can't land because the wether or wind or sumthink.. You hear the pilote say let's go a round and it will climb and abort the landing and restart the landing over again
Great video! I find online written answers poor at explaining terms and It's nice to hear directly from a real pilot what certain things mean. I don't have any terms I have questions about, but I'm sure we all would love a part 2. Keep up the great work Kelsey!
glad you enjoyed it Safye... thanks for watching!
Most important word in aviation is “coffee”.
The book, Catch Me if You Can, ironically, is what inspired me to enter aviation.
I worked with a teacher who was also a FA. She often did Chicago turns after school during the week. She’s retired from teaching now, but is still an FA (she was an FA first).
I have ride in the jump seat on LIAT airlines-Caribbean; im building a "disc copter" - it works on a vortex air system, ur info keeps me updated
, im not a pilot yet but study alot of helicopter system and small plane system
I’m glad you explained legs. When I saw it on the list I assumed you were talking about the actual aviation term “leg” referring to traffic pattern legs or flight plan legs.
So Sully talking about the Hudson was in the end relevant to the security of the flight :D
Love this vid and all your other work Kelsey. Keep it up!
Thanx for keeping it real. 3 questions to use for a laugh or 2. "What are the 3 things a pilot can never use?"
1. The air above you.
2. The runway behind you.
3. The fuel in the truck.
Airspeed you don’t have.
Every pilot’s favorite phrase:
“Which way to the bar?”
Paul Actually now it’s “Which way to the gym?”
Turn left, heading all the way through law school.
Turn left on Echo and follow company.
Whats your vector Victor?
my pops did a lot of jumpseating a decade ago, he was bumped from his station b/c seniority, so he would jumpseat from home to the hub and back every week. He'd fly in, do 3-13 hour shifts, then fly out for home, spend 3 days home, then back to the hub to fix more planes
These are really good videos and it is valuable to repeat them. So much good information from Kelsey.
I really enjoy these videos and alot of these terms work just about the same in the ground logistics industry
Neato! Thank you for this information! I've loaded and unloaded, and pushed out planes, and have been on a cleaning crew, and I've heard a lot of those phrases, but not knowing what they meant, and now I do! Yay!
heeeyyy very cool, glad it was helpful Hellen, thanks for subscribing and commenting, I appreciate it!!
As Usual Another great video Kelsey it's an honor watching !✈
Every profession has their “inside language” and you did an excellent job explaining that of career aviation.
Thanks, bob
I was an EMT and we had a phrase also of "blue side up" .. every time Kelsey says it in videos I think of my EMT training. 😊
Yeah true, some pilots refer to passengers and cargo as « packs »
sthfuup
Yes.... Got the video notification while I was hitting the head. Perfect time to relax and catch up on 74 gear, this made my day. Great video. Digging the intro also.
thanks Brandon, glad you are liking the videos!
Absolutely useful and I love this video, thank you Kelsey!!!
please do a part two of this!
This was awesome, also can you do a video on traffic patterns and positions? ie final, base, left base, downwind etc. I’d appreciate that 👍🏼
ok sure, thats a good idea too RB... thanks for watching!
I love finding old videos I haven't seen. Very well done. 👌
As a trucker we use deadhead. But for us it means running with an empty trailer.
Also your saying "Keep the blue side up" is very similar to our saying "Keep the clean side up, dirty side down"
Also we use "Turn-n-burn" the same way you use "Turn"
I am starting on my ppl today at aviation adventures (South Africa) very exited;)
very exciting Gabriel... please tag me on IG after you solo so I can congratulate you
Thank you Kelsey, I will definitely do that!!!
Gabriel Roos How is it going, are you done? I’ll start next year in Pretoria/ Wonderboom Airport
I'm starting my training from January. Really excited about it.
Aadrit where?
Another very informative video..love it!!
happy to help Bob!
OMG ! This man does not blink
Wow, you are fantastic, thanks for the education.
I work on the ramp and we can use jump seat with flight attendants but not in the cockpit. On The Ramp, the term Turn mean we have 30-45min on the ground to offload and upload bags and get the plane back in the air.
ya thats right... turn the plane.. good point aviation I know thats a term you guys used... felt like a pit crew would hit the plane at some airports you guys moved so fast 🤣
in that movie while Frank is in the plane with carl, he says he can see runway 44. which is not a possible number for a runway. 36 is as high as it can go because there is 360 degrees of a circle. not 440!!! just pointing that out...
Was a great video Kelsey 👍 same as always. Keep it up dude.
Thanks Daniel, I appreciate it.
Thank you for the love you put in this videos, Thank You, our great Pilot.
happy to do it 18, glad you enjoyed the video!
As a new pilot, I used to be an airport police for many years. In F.A.R schooling, I asked "Does souls on board, Those NOT from Arkansas and Not wearing shoes?" Actually most common carriers, including Trains also transport Human remains to the destination for burial. If there was a deadly crash and aircraft was carrying dozens of dead bodies in the cargo area, they were too added to the deaths and would NOT be accurate. I very much enjoy your channel and videos. Keep up the great info, and ignore the jealous hatters.
Me: *does a roll in my f22 raptor*
Me: sees the ground in the sky and the sky in the ground
Good stuff man, I can’t wait to get my flying dream job.
I look forward to you getting that too!!
In Spain, crew who doesn’t live in their assigned base, can fly as an extra crew (not necessarily in a JS), and the act of flying from your home town to your base and viceversa is referred as to “balsear” which could be translated as “boating”
ahhh cool Diego... I didn't know that. I have heard from a few of my friends they have gotten permission to ride in the JS with some airlines there but I have never tried it. Thanks for teaching me that! I know legs are sectors there right? I just didn't want to get to complex and start having to make it too long of a video!
My flight experience is San Andreas to Las Venturas but this channel is underrated
@74gear.. you are a inspiration to me.. I always wanted and love to become a airline pilot. And these videos are helping me out like alot.. I just can't thank you enough ❤ much love from Maldives ❤. Keep up the good work!
the Maldives... wow what a nice place I wish I could get some overnights there!! thanks so much Guy!
@@74gear haha you will get that chance one day ❤
Best channel for the layman on CZcams. Thanks for the content Captain.
really nice of you to say Eric, thanks for watching!
keep it coming my Captain, hetepu
Thank you Kelsey for explaining these terms. :)
Awesome, thanks.
Love the intro and ur new video style😍😍
thanks glad you like it, trying to step it up for 2019!
KTBSU or Keep The Blue Side Up is also a pilot term that means stay positive, or you're on a 'good track' and keep doing what you're doing. Or at least in my experience it has been used that way, and I use it that way.
Because even as you explained, if you don't have the blue side up, you're not doing too good!
exactly thats true Tommy thats another use of the phrase as well!
As an ATC I used to get gigged on my tape-talks for dropping the last 7 on Boeings when calling traffic. My excuse was always what you said... all Boeings end in a 7 and if I could shorten the transmission at all I would be saving time. It used to get rather busy at LAX.
great video as always👌🏾
Thanks Nashty
Hmmm. I was a truck driver for around 10 years and "Deadhead" means something kind of different. In trucking it means traveling without a load. I.E. if a driver were to drop off a load and then was going to be routed to his home terminal for time off they would attempt to find a load taking him in that direction. If unable to find a load for him they would "deadhead" him home meaning they'd just let him go without a load to get him home. When deadhead came up on the screen I was thinking it would mean a crew was going to take an empty plane from one airport to another.
so when we move an empty plane we call it a repo for repositioning which also means something else for truck drivers.... 😆 thanks for watching and commenting Larry.
@@74gear Oh wow! Yeah for a trucker who owns his own truck "repo" definitely has a different meaning and it isn't good. LOL Thanks Kelsey.
Good video. Funny thing is that I always used the industry standard definition of turn as an out and back to the hub. But it’s different here. Leaving the hub and coming right back is an out and back. But a turn is starting at an out station, flying into the hub, and “turning” out to another out station. So we would call a SDF-MEM-MDT in the middle of the night an “AM Hub Turn”.
hmm interesting how crews at different airlines use them differently...
Thanks
Good job, glad you are better!
thanks chance... I appreciate that
Superb video. Big thank you. Can you do a video translating the communications with ATC or in-flight between pilot and FO?
THANK YOU
You are so nice in replying to most of the comments, I really feel you are doing this out of passion and I respect that. In the last few months I have been learning a lot from you and others about aviation, I watched the movies you commented on, and I enjoyed every bit of it. I wish I could meet you in person. I live in Japan, so if you ever come by, it will be my honor to take you out for say... sushi? anything you like! I have 3 pilot friends (all JAL , though one moved from JAL to JAS or something like that, he's on a health leave for diabetes, he's my neighbor and our dogs are really good friends, the other 2 are my horseback riding friends). If all works out and you can come, I might be able to arrange you meet one them, depending on their schedule; they are really wonderful people. Anyways, I hope you will get your single engine certification, Back to School! still way to go though, I will share your vids on FB. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors. A fan from Japan!
I fly to Japan all the time Daniela usually Narita or Nagoya, its a great great country really pilot people and so kind to me while I am there. Thanks so much for sharing, some of the videos on here are filmed in Nagoya like the Cast Away video I filmed that one in Nagoya and I fly JAL often if you go onto my IG page you will see a gift I received from the crew once. Very classy.
Great stuff, thanks!
glad you enjoyed it Tony!
Little add on for "turns", in New Zealand at least, they're referred to almost exclusively on jets as "double bangers" or "bangers". Haven't heard it from turbo prop guys, but certainly from A320s to 777s a typical day of AKL-BNE-AKL would be a "Brisbane double banger".
Another tip: If that's too much too memorize, just join Lufthansa. The only thing you'll ever need to know is "strike." Or Ryanair: "Strike", "minimum wage", "absolutely fantastic!"... a bit more to learn, but you'll also get to fly more often.
You should go over the hand signals that pilots should know to communicate with the ground crew. Seems like the only one they can remember is ground power disconnect.
When the video started, I was just thinking your voice was different which you also confirmed later on. Guess I've been binge-watching your videos since I noticed right away... :D
Love your channel Kelsey. Other terms some people dont know are Flight Level. FL Not that they need to....
what an interesting video! thank you for that, i learned a lot from you.
glad to hear it Heldin, thanks for watching 👍
Wow. That's great ! Tips and video. Big up ☝ 👍
Thanks Yonas, I appreciate it
thanks for a great video!!!
absolutely Shane thanks for watching!
This made my day!
happy to be part of JJ
Not words, but acronyms... My dad was a pilot, and he'd use an acronym, CIGAR TIPS pre-flight. Another one I'd hear when working at an FBO (there's another!) is a QT, a quick turn-around.
Thank you for answering my question.
thanks for being part of the 74 crew!
It would be great if you could do a video focusing on IFR radio communications. Thanks for another great video!!!!
Hey Luca, I am actually planning to do that based on some of the comments here so thanks for letting me know I was already working on what the video will look like... it'll be a bit more technical but I think you guys like those videos!
Good job captain
Great job! I am ramp crew and knew all of those! Lol
Love your videos! Starting flight school this spring.
fantastic Dylan looking forward to see your progress!
@@74gear Thank you! Ill comment major updates along the way.
Just remember that your bingo time (latest divert time) is via overhead your destination, because beyond that time, you cannot make an approach, miss out, and still divert safely. If holding to the south of your destination, with your alternate also south of you, no point in hanging around if you cannot make a missed approach.
It's like motorbikers when we say keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up which is basically just stay safe
New subscriber, glad I came across your channel. Not a pilot, but have a keen interest in aircraft and the mechanics of flight. It would be interesting if you could talk about the 'coffin corner' at some point. Cheers!
🤔 maybe I will cover that one of these days Moe, thanks for that idea.
Hope you feel better soon
Thanks Hannah, I am back to normal now!
You missed 'WAGD' as in "we're all gonna die!!!" Every pilot should know this for when that mountain wants to give you a hug
I also forgot to mention I completely agree with you about the jumpseat being uncomfortable! I feel like the cabin jumpseats are better tho than the flight deck ones. I've sat in the flight deck jumpseats from takeoff to touchdown as an Fa on repo flights and it killed my back lol
🤣 ya some are better than others but some of them are sooooo small! or feel like they're made of brick somehow
@@74gear yes!! Omg I would literally crack up seeing pilots jump seating in the 145's. They were like on top of each other. I also flew on the Emb 135's but I dont think they even have jumpseats. I know they def didnt in the cabin. I didnt fly on those a lot bc those we flew once in a while going through IAH and other parts of Texas. (I was EWR based)
When talking to airport/airline related people (not necessarily pilots) is also common to drop the last 7 even in Spanish. But it's also because we don't say seven sixty seven or seven fifty seven, we spell each number separately like seven six seven or seven four seven. For Airbus is the same as in English: three twenty, three eighty, three fifty...
In Russian it’s “shoulders” not “legs”
nice work
Love this video.
thanks Chris, I am glad you liked it and thanks for subscribing.
