Thank you so much for watching this video. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to comment below and maybe I will be answering your question in the next video. Have a great day guys! X Michelle
Hi everyone, thanks for being here! I recently launched new Merchandise as you can see below this video. The logo contains a DutchPilotGirl Boeing 737-800 livery. What do you think? Have a great day! X Michelle
Have you ever landed in Ireland.
The Dutch pilot girl livery on the 787 was really nice.
u have a great explanation power,and love your videos quite a lot a lot,keep up the good work ma'am

A friend of mine was a very senior First Officer. He did not want to move to Captain because that would put him at the bottom of the list when bidding on schedules. As a Senior First Officer he pretty much had his choice of routes and times, which made for a much more pleasant home life.
Michelle! So good to see you! Always a ray of sunshine even on a rainy day! Outstanding explanations ma'am. (I've been a professional instructor for 30+ years). You are so much fun to watch...thank you so kindly! I've been a private pilot, but spent more time "flying" at -1,000 feet. Personal note: flying with Michelle would always be the ultimate upgrade!
Thanks!
A little of regulation: "Comander pilot (highest rank on the plane) is the responsible for the aircraft/flight operation during the flight time, manipulate or not the flight contolls." So, no mather who is flying (controlling the yoke/side stik), the responsibility allways will be on the captain...
The commander is indeed responsible for everything that goes on inside the airplane
I love the way you handle your knowledge without being a snob. The way you got this far is because of the love of flying. It's contagious. Thank you for your presentation.
From time to time it is very beautiful to see this smile
God protect you every time and evrywhere
So you expect God to preferentially protect certain people based on superficial surface characteristics ?
You should see her without makeup. Nothing against her. She is smart but beautiful I wonder.
Old joke: new airplanes will be equipped with a pilot and a dog. Pilot’s job is to feed the dog. The dog’s job is to bite the pilot if he touches the controls.
I'm so impressed by how articulate DutchPilotGirl is. Pleasure to listen to.
As a Captain I generally fly the first leg to see how the FO operates. Then I will let the FO fly the next TWO legs so that they can get the out station experience. Then I will fly the next 2 and so on.
Good way of doing it!
I'm not a pilot, i have taken some lessons in a private plane. I heard that it's common for the captain to let the FO take off, & the captain lands? Of course that can sometimes be reversed??
@@timothygeiger8271 As far as I know. The law in plane is stated by captain. He or she decides on everything - as mentioned in this movie. Did You watch it?
@@norbert.kiszka the captain is the ultimate authority, but he does not make up laws, & he does have rules to follow.
Greetings dear Sir, I am planing for the next year to study and become a FO .. I would like to ask you a single and direct question. What is the difference between a good FO and a bad FO … what skill should I develop the most? Thank you in advance and many other journeys.
Thank you Michelle for introducing who are the real flight pilots and trainees. I'm proud of you Michelle that you had been mostly the captain and the First Officer of the plane who controls the plane. I have seen you driving the plane on the right as the Captain. You are my best pilot Michelle. I'm hoping to learn piloting lessons from you Michelle someday
After watching so many Air Disasters/Air Emergencies episodes, I've noticed that it's normally the first officer flying and have wondered why, so this sure is very helpful!
Summary: Captain, first officer, and second officer are only company terms for pay. They were borrowed from maritime industry to give a feeling of reliability to passengers.
Regulations use the term "pilot in command", who has responsibly and authority for safe operation, and "second in command" who is a fully qualified pilot but without final authority. PIC and SIC do not change during a normal short haul flight, they would only change if the PIC was incapacitated or possibly on an extended long haul while the original PIC is resting.
During operation there is a pilot flying and pilot monitoring, this only describes the job a pilot is performing at a single moment, this can change many times during a single flight and is simple agreement between pilots.
I have been an enthusiast for decades, thought I knew it all and I just learned there is only one tiller. Great Video.
Many aircraft have tillers on both sides, probably more common than not.
Great video. Really professional and informative. Some military pilots who go into commercial flying find it difficult to flatten the cockpit gradient. They are used to being in complete control all of the time. In the past, there have been times where a steep cp gradient in some cultures caused bullying behaviour and unfortunately fatal accidents.
Wow ! What an amazing lady…..she is amazing ….brains and beauty….I’m super super impressed !
I found you from Mentour Pilot. Your a great find. I enjoyed this video and will return to watch more. Be safe up there. Jim G.
This video is also packed with great information. I simply love it !…and she is so easy to understand , clear concise delivery …what’s not to like ?
My first video review with DPG was landing in heavy x-wind. I really appreciate the video editing and information overlays to explain just enough detail while watching. I don't know if this was intentional, but it gives the feel of processing all of the FO's flight information in real time. Stay safe!
My heart ❤ goes out to you during theese difficult times, which has hit the aviation industry hard.
Having travelled from the UK down to Greece on the new dreamliner aircraft very recently, I so respect the job you pilots do, sometimes us humans expect you pilots to just get us to our destination,
Thank you, luckily I still have a job but their are plenty of pilots that don't unfortunately... hope this pandemic is going to be over soon!
@@DutchPilotGirl what do you think about this, would that be a feasible option for a pilot out of the job due to the pandemic? "Swiss International Air Lines, together with the SBB, the Swiss railways, is looking into the possibilities of retraining pilots to become train drivers, according to various Swiss media." (www.flyinginsight.com/2020/10/04/swiss-pilots-to-possibly-retrain-as-train-drivers/)
Waited a week for this one! Another great and informant video! You post I learn! 👏
Thank you!
CZcams peaked my interest because the plane was virtually maybe 45° sideways and I thought that perhaps it was an optical illusion then I realized that it had to do with crosswinds totally unaware of those. However I love your child because everything is explained in more detail.
Kind of late watching this. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Always fresh to learn something new.
Thank you Michelle! Plenty and very interesting information here! Take care.
Very enlightening! Thank you, ma'am. Will feel safer next time on a flight!😊
Veilig wees. 🇿🇦
Thanks!! And for your support 😏
After seeing the thumbnail, I thought for a second, is Michelle a twin !? 😂
Me too! 😏
If you are going to clone someone, Michelle is a good choice.
@@DutchPilotGirl your a twin?!?
I thought...how much hair is in that cockpit
I've noticed that when the captain makes his welcome and greeting to the passengers he will usually say 'First Officer John Smith will be flying us to ......' or if the captain is the pilot flying he will simply introduce the crew members. I guess it just sounds more polite and emphasises that they are a team.
You still amaze me.
Mid 20s year old and a certified ATP heavy jet
You rock !
Almost 200K subscribers! Well done
Couldn't have done it without you! ;)
Aloha, I just tripped over your channel and enjoy it a lot. I used to be a runway maintenance electrician at an airfield and LOVED the job. Had a retired Air Force pilot (F-4's) who I used to go flying with often in his Cherokee. He let me pilot occasionally and I really enjoyed it. he's moved on now so I can get my vicarious enjoyment "Flying" with you. Mahalo Nui Loa
This was very informative Michelle! Thank you!
Nice concise explanation of the pilot hierarchy. Well done! Look forward to your next vid.
Thanks!
Sounds complicated but perhaps not when you are knowledgeable about all this….😊
As you asked the question… I would like to see more of the “take off” and “landing” videos, awesome. I am amazed how obstructed the view from the cockpit is, especially the idea you can’t see the runway in front of the plane 🤔
Ik ben ook een piloot in Microsoft Flightsimulator 2020. Daarom ben ik geïnteresseerd in je video's op CZcams en ben ik fan van je geworden. Groeten uit Kassel
Ive been watching michelle for over a year and for some reason I just noticed she has one green and one blue eye!
Do I? 😂
@@DutchPilotGirl They look same to me....not sure what Emmanuel is seeing, LOL.
the light on the right side mat give an ellusion but nope, 100% blue
i sure like your videos as you share your knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of the pilot and first officer. My son-in-law is a pilot with Alaska Airlines based out of Portland, OR since transferring from Anchorage 4+ years ago. Your expiations and tags inserted into your videos as well as your velvity voice make your videos very enjoyable. Thanks
This is a very clear explanation. What it implies is that 'pilots' are actually monitors; they don't fly the plane; digital hardware and software does. Flying aircraft on radio control has been around for decades...today an aircraft could take of, fly and land itself.....but not with passengers aboard!.....tomorrow?.........who knows.
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? OF COURSE YOU ARE A REAL AND GREAT PILOT! CONGRATULATIONS, GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks! Not everyone considers the co pilot to be an actual pilot 🙄 wanted to shed some light on that 😏
@@DutchPilotGirl co-pilot still sounds as if he/she is twirling thumbs while captain is the one who is busy 24/7. pilot flying/monitoring is the better designation
I flew Concorde years ago and visited the cockpit. There was an Engineer and hundreds of disks and controls.
Yeah, very complicated aircraft!
He's a lucky lucky man whoever he is😍
Some airlines BA for example, specify that some landings are Captain only landings. That being the case how does the SIC get experience? One particular airport this occurs is Gibraltar.
In the US special airports are only blocked for low time first officers. Once they have 100 hours in aircraft type they can land anywhere - at captain’s discretion, of course.
I’d assume that even in Europe first officers can land at special airports when flying with their airline’s instructors pilots - which happens fairly regularly.
Ah, great explanation. Divided duties more that I realized. Sometimes I wonder who really does most of the flying. It seems to be the Auto-Pilot.
she is absolutely fantastic
Great video Michelle, I find myself loving your videos and watching more and more of them. I am a Locomotive Engineer and drive trains in Canada for a living. I just wanted to see the differences in our two jobs in terms of responsibilities and work life. I recently got back from Cancun Mexico and had a great flight on Westjet 737 Airbus. Have you ever had a chance to tour Boeing Facilities in Everette Washington? It's incredible if you ever get a chance. Cheers and safe flying.
Hello Michelle. Thank you for the information. I enjoyed it. It is nice to get this kind of information. The livery looks pretty good. Stay safe.
Very thorough presentation! Look forward to your next one! Be safe, stay safe!
Glad you like it!
Great job, Michelle!!
Thanks!
@@DutchPilotGirl you are the best!!
Nice, smooth, clean delivery...always the best from you future captian....💨
Thanks Charles!
Ongelovelijk. Ben er stil van! Hartelijk dank voor het delen.
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your life and times with us that watch your informative channel. Outstanding job young lady.
Thanks Edward!
@@DutchPilotGirl your welcome, I'll always fly with you. First Class video's are of your nature.
Love how you throw in the OE and SAQ config of pilots on flight deck!
Thank you for these explanations
I’m very confused, but still scared of it all. Thanks for your time
Hi Michele, have you covered on all platforms, I just love you and your dedication.
Very very beautiful and very prepared. Sincerly congratulations. BRAVA👏👏👏
Truly interesting also for passengers. Thanks for your lovely engagement!
Thank you know I understand what a captain and a first officer is and what they do
There is one more cockpit crew less common than flight engineer. Flight navigator.
These were common for ocean crossing, areas with odd features (eg lots of change in compass variation) or for planes that fly at lower altitudes in areas with difficult terrain like mountains, also more common in the military. The FAA still has a navigator certificate handbook and test.
The 707 and early 747 built for ocean crossing included a navigator window in the top for measuring stars with a sextant, later 747 still have the hole but it is changed to an emergency vent and roof access hatch. The SR-71 spy plane had an automated star tracking navigation system.
"A nice place like Tenerife... or... England" Hahaha, love it! Well done! And I'm English, I'm serious too :-(
Tenerife in 1977 saw one of the most horrific aviation disasters between two 747s
I heard that there are also some first officers who prefer keeping their current position forever for various reasons instead of becoming a captain...
Those are the exceptions of the exceptions, there is usually another reason...
@@DutchPilotGirl
Yes, even in normal companies there are such people who prefer working as an employee instead of as a manager or a boss. They prefer more comfortable position without responsibility, without necessity of giving orders to others ( I noticed that there are many who find it more comfortable to work being ordered by their superior). So mainly it depends on their characters, I suppose. Anyway thank you for this interesting topic ;)
Who flies the plane male or female as long as they are qualified and they have the ability to fly as they are required to be in total control of the plane at all times
And I wondered why this channel had so many subscribers, I was wrong, a very informative and intelligent young women, if I'm allowed to say that nowadays that is.
This flat management style is soooo Dutch 👍
Wonderful video! thanks for teaching us this, you are an expert, keep flying safely and please, stay safe.
That was,such,an interesting video, ,fantastic upload,many,thanks,look forward, to the next,video.
The answer to who really flys the plane is both of you. As an old mentor once told me, “ We both get to the scene of the accident at about the same time.” I have 26 years of experience in the left seat and I can tell you if you’re not bringing your FO into the picture you’re asking for trouble. A good FO can make you look like Captain Kirk a bad one, or one you’ve turned off with your bad attitude can ruin your day.
Another brilliant video!! You obviously know your stuff!!... Just hope the others do too!! Keep them coming!!
great idea to clarify this rather confusing aspect. I learned something about why only the left seat pilot can steer the airplane during taxiing for certain categories! If I may add something about "the past" and the presence of the 3 acting person in the cockpit (flight engineer) I was invited there as a passenger for a take-off (golden days, this was before the tragedy of September 11...) and was rather puzzled to see that it was the flight engineer who performed the task of applying thrust during the take-off phase, and not the PIC. It was a 747, and I don't know if this was specific to this airplane. The engineer seat was positioned directly behing the pilots, so he could execute the procedure.
Safe travels Michelle✈🙏
You too!
Thanks for the excellent prez. FYI most but not every VPN permits access to other countries websites - e.g Netflix USA.
Ii am little late to watch your new video. But i must say that you, mentor pilot and captain joe are a source of a lot of knowledge about aviation. Thankyou so much.
Thank you for watching our channels!
Yep very true, but remember captain joe aint a captain, he's first officer. He prob would have been a captain by now if air berlin hadnt gone tits up. Mentour pilot is a captain tho.
@@GeordieBoy69 Yeah bro, I know that. I have been following these aviation channels for almost 3 years now
Hi Dutch Pilot Girl,
Are you familiar with the Qantas A380 engine explosion incident many years ago?
It still fascinates me the coincidence of having such a Senior flight crew on that flight happend.
Qantas has only had 3 significant emergencys in its 70 year history (no deaths) and on this flight there were 5 Pilots on the flight deck.
A Captain, First Officer, and Second Officer. In addition was a check-captain 'checking' the Captain on the flight. Ontop of that was one of Qantas's most senior Pilots who was 'checking' the 'check captain'.
Too have a potentially catastrpohic engine explosion that ripped hydrolic lines and damaged a wing happen with that level of flight crew is like winning tattslotto!
too many chefs in the kitchen
Whether you're staying in a nice place like Tenerife.. pause.. or England lol I'm a brit and I get that it's fine!
😂😂
yeah I cant think of any large airport in the uk that is somewhere nice, guess if you have the money you don't live next to an airport lol
Good day Captain Michelle,
I hope this message finds you well!
I’m starting my FI course soon and wanted to ask if there are any tips you can give ( study guides, any books, tips, etc ) it would be a honour to receive information from you.
Keep it up with the channel, it is truly my go-to page even before I got into the aviation world.
Best regards
You got a pair of beauitful blue almond eyes aka 鳳眼 - Chinese describe pretty girls' eyes.
Wow I love the T -shirts I might just order one really good info in your videos thanks
Awesome Information! Very informative and clean speech. You do an amazing job all the time!
I will like to know how you put your English at that level?
I speak Spanish but still need to get my English skills high and your way of speak is the level I want to go cuz you speak so clear and very presentable just how I want.
Very glad to hear from you!
Thank You!
Always a pleasure to see you
Thank you :)
Brilliant video, loved your clear explanation. Subscribed!
0:45 Should say "Patron Exclusive".
Great video. Just before Covid I got two fights in the left seat for my captain promotion. Now due to Covid I don’t even know if I will have a job.
I am so sorry to hear that... this pandemic certainly has a terrible effect on everyone! Hope the situation will improve soon...
Sorry to hear that Stephen. I’m a retired corporate pilot, and in my 45 years went through many ups and downs in the aviation industry. Had several companies bought out, several sold their aircraft due to financial problems, and some just went out of business. But I always found a new job, and it was usually a better one. If you truly love aviation and flying you’ll find a way to continue, even in these very troubled times. Best of luck to you Stephen.
Most comments carefully avoid one subject, but because I'm old school, I won't avoid it. This young lady is not only well-spoken, and skilled at her profession, she is also very beautiful. Yes, there are men left in this world who notice such things, and say what they think, without any intent to cause offense.
Simp
You left out Yum, Yum! Lol
Man you put a lot of things in perspective that most people don’t know, you will always be the captain First officer, I can see in your eyes you are in command awesomeness, I told my girlfriend I wish I could marry you and and got kicked out out for a day so I called my buddy that has a Cessna and we took off from our local airport and we flew around Catalina island here in California and all I said to my buddy was Dutch girl , made a video and sent it to her, boy oh boy what happened next lol, please be careful and you put on an awesome channel, good job young lady
3:49 - I did have to laugh!
Michelle your eyes are stunning
Hi dear, compliments for keeping up creating your video's. We sure can use the distraction and interesting information you're sharing. In case you will be grounded due to the current situation I'd advice you to train your skills using Flightsim 2020 (unfortunately the 737 is postponed until the 3 quarter of 2021) but the sim looks amazing. Wish you all the best..dikke knuffel! Ed ;-)
Yeah I need to figure out how I can get it to work on my computer (MacOs). Planning to give it a try soon, not enough time on my hands unfortunately...
DutchPilotGirl or you can fly in X-Plane 11. there is a 737 by default, but also a Zibo 737 (free improvement of the default one)
George the auto pilot flys the plane with assistance from the flight computer. George is put to work during the cruise phase of the trip. George can sometimes land the aircraft in low visibility weather too. 😊
For a second I thought Michelle was in a airline where everyone looks like her and also I love how Joe and Michelle always comment on each others videos lol anyway keep up the great work
Wow thank you for this I learn a lot and enjoying watch your videos 😊🙏
Some more interesting info - airliners like the Boeing 707 had a fourth cockpit crew member - a navigator. The navigator would navigate using the stars when out of range from Radio aids and land features. There would be a port at the top of the cockpit to allow the navigator to use a sextant to view the stars, something like that. This was told to me by a Captain who used to be a navigator on the B707.
As for crew complements, there are airlines that use 2 Capts/2 Co-pilots (FO/SOs), 2 Capts/1FO. All depending on the airline requirements. Those airlines that use one Capt on long haul flights do so for cost savings purposes, but the FO must be rated to operate out of the RHS.
Love your inspiring videos👍🏻❤️
seems like what you are saying is you have come to serve rather than to be served Mat 20: 28, Mark 10: 45 👍
Wow, I love the DutchPilotGirl Airline livery! 😄 Did you draw your logo Michelle? It’s beautiful!
Thank you! A great guy from Italy made this, incredible right?!
DutchPilotGirl Absolutely amazing! Send my congrats to him :)
@@MrPomelo555 I just did :)
Hey dear Michelle, love your Videos soo much. You are explaining your job so clarifying 👍 many questions I still had up to now , e.g. A380 minimum Crew
You are a extraordinary good looking young Lady 🩷 and so intelligent, focussed, simply, adoreable
Regards from Zurich area 🇨🇭
So, there are RANKS (Captain and First Officer) and ROLES (Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring). There is also PIC (Pilot In Command). I'm guessing the Captain is always the PIC because he/she is ultimately responsible for all decisions. Is that right? Or is it the Pilot Flying who is the PIC. Is the Pilot Flying the Pilot In Command, so long as the Captain is satisfied with that arrangement?
Wat is je favoriete vliegtuig?
Die van mij is de Concorde
No favorite at the moment...
Thank you so much for this informative video. You made my day 🤩🤩🤩
