- The story of how I became a pilot continues in this episode where I will give you a short overview of my typerating.
I hope you will enjoy it!
Welcome!
On this channel you can expect video-blogs, technical instructions, flying techniques and much more about the wonderful world of commercial aviation and the life of airline pilots.
I am using my 13 years of experience as an airline pilot, training-captain and TRI/TRE to give you MY view of the airline business and the role of an airline pilot.
All the content is intended to give you a positive and constructive view into the fantastic world of commercial aviation.
Please keep your comments and questions in the same spirit and please INTERACT. The channel becomes much better then and its intended for YOUR benefit.
The content on this channel is for info and entertainment only and is not intended to replace any existing FCOM manuals or SOP's.
I am only talking for myself and do not represent any specific company, airline or entity.
I am not studying to be a pilot but I am a great teacher. The one thing that you are teaching here is...teaching students "How to learn" which is very important in learning any new career. This is a mark of a great Teacher. Thank you Mentour! Have a fabulous day!
16 years ago.... but one can still see in your eyes the good memories and positive excitement you had back then. Shining through right into the present time.
"finally get the monster moving"...😆 Very useful informations all in all. Always was wondering what type rating in the end feels and looks like.
I really appreciate the honesty with how you explain all the things concerning flight training, aviation etc. If you would write/publish a book one day... (think about it!).. i will be among the first people to buy it.
I like what you said about eating, breathing n sh****.. quite true..
man i love your content! you dont have an idea how much this helps getting me and my friend ready and knowing what to expect
A really nice and informative video Capt.....thank you :)
When I watched the "Miss Pilot" tv series, I assumed the cardboard mockup was a theatrical gimmick. Nice to know that it's actually a real tip, it makes a lot of sense.
It's very interesting to hear a realistic account of what it takes to become a pilot and I very much look forward to the next episode. The camera isn't actually too bad compared to the one you started with :)
Ain't nothing like the real thing!!! I'll listen to this. Captain any day of the week... he has been there!!!.....!in combat you'd better listen to the veteran ...not some want to be hot shot that ain't seen the real sh##!!! And is bound to get you and him/her splattered!!! You know what I mean???? C ya!!!

I know a elementary teacher who’s husband left a commuter airline as a captain recently to work for another airline to fly a 737 as a first officer. So he had to print out the cockpit and put it on boxes and learn the cockpit of a 737.
I completely understand theory, even sat on the loo was time wasted unless you had a book in your hand fall asleep with a book sat on your chest, eating with a book propped up , yes mental brain pain until you were able to recite every person where your research was obtained and mine was only a nursing degree ! But each milestone made it worthwhile, all this while working on the patient units allocated too, learning all tech knowledge as well yes and when you qualified it didn’t stop there because to maintain your license to practice , your were required to give evidence of study, courses , your life revolves around study unless your prepared to maintain and further your knowledge well just don’t bother.!
Then you transfer to your speciality ! Then is a learning curve again so yes dedication! For your lifetime of your working life ! Hard work but I loved every minute !
thank you captain, for your excellent videos and time spent in sharing your experience and knowledge.
i wanted to make a suggestion topic to cover if possible talk about crm, stress, and advice for proper handling and crm compresnsion.
thank you very much !!
Amazing amount of infos ! Thank you !!
Very good video!!! I learn something new every time i watch your videos!!! Thank you sir!!!
Petter, I have seen many of your videos, I am practically GLUED to them! I have an old sim programme from Microsoft (which is beginning to fall apart I have logged many hours on it.. I intend soon as soon as I can afford it to buy the Premium Delux new Microsoft sim 2020. One thing I don't think you have covered is the coming thing in aviation. I am a staunch advocate of all forms of human electric transport, on land, sea and of course in the air. Have you an episode or are you in the know of ELECTRIC aircraft? I know last year (2020) the world's first multi motor commercial aircraft made its maiden flight (I should have been on that flight!) just north of Seattle in the States. You might want to investigate this new area of aviation, as with this climate disaster we have to go electric all the way.
There have been some electric aircraft flying, being a member of a local EVA (eV group) I met a flight instructor that flies and trains in electric Cessna 172 Skyhawks. NO fossil fuel on board!
If it weren't for a question of financial challenges, I would already have been a cadet myself. (When I was only 14 years old, I had a chance to do a demo, as except for radio and landing, I had done everything else inclusive of an engine out stall at 3'000 ft. It was this one private school that refused to allow me to get into full training and get my PPL).
Someone has been working on ELECTRIC jet engines. I don't know who, but that is a great step forward. And lastly, Norway has passed a law in their parliament some years ago that by 2040, all regional aircraft MUST be fully electric! That is next door to your country, Sweden (though I understand that you are living currently in or near Barcelona, Spain). Thanks
Very Nice captain ;) i expect to be at the Right place as quickly is possible ;)
Your info is spot on
Great video once again, and very helpfull indeed!
Actually been spending quite some time in the paper tiger lately as I have my first MCC lesson next week.
Thanks for the video!
Will do! :) (Actually in the paper tiger right now as well :p )
Thank you very much! Will do :)
ReHi once more:
You mentioned the need for student finding assistance to do your type rating. Here, in Canada, it seems to me that I saw an ad from the royal Bank of Canada offering a financing program for pilots. However just what they are offering and under what terms, I do not know.
Canada has about 5 major banks (sometimes referred to aa "A banks" they are moicu more controlled by our government than U.S. Banks are, and have many branches.
One day, travelling in the metro, I met a youngish man who had come here from abroad. His english and French were very limited, but I was able to discenr that he was here from Brazil on a student visa, about to start a degree in U.Q.A.M. (one of the 2 French universities in Montreal) Asking him where he was currently headed to, it turned out that both of us were headed close to Place Ville Marin in the centre of downtown.
I wad headed to the head office of the royal Bank in Place Ville Marie at the time, and explainned to him that as a new foreign student he should have a Canadian banl account. I managed to get him to accompany me to the bank, where I was able to find a banking agent for him who spoke Portuguese. As the bank was busy, it took a bit of a delay, but they were able to handle both of our diverse needs very well.
I found out that that branch has at least 2 Portuguese-speaking staff, (and likey staff that speak various other languages.) As I had mentioned, on the streets of Montreal, you can find some 80 languages in a day - the world comes to US!
so if you one day land at Pierre Elliot Trudeau International airport (some 10 miles west of downtown, find your way to the "747 airport service", baggage and all, and it will get you downtown with likely less hassle than a cab. Once in Central Station, check out the foreign exchange bureaus (don't struggle to get Canadian cash from abroad, it's excessively complicated. Brung your plastic and foreign cash, and the exchange bureaus and banks will teke care of you.
Also, when in the underground concourse of Central Station, you are underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, and surrounded by shops and restaurants without even going outdoors. The Royal Bank is across Rene Levesque Blvd,. to the north, so walk through the underground city to the Place Ville Marie underground shopping centre, and the bank is upstairs.
In the same day, check out the AMT kiosk in the concourse of Central Station, one of their agents , or one of the security guards can explain what the Opus card is all about, along with the 8 zones it covers surrounding Montreal for a radius of about 50 miles. Note the Opus does not work the same way as the Oyster card in London England. It uses titles, it is not a revolving cash card. Debit is managed by Interac (look for the black on Yellow logo, baut ask the banks what you can do with it with cards from outside Canada, as that may have limitaitons.)
Climate: anywhere from -45C to +37C, depending on season and time of day/night. Details online from environments Canada (also for pilots, a NAV service online).
Best Regards, all,
Bruce M.
I love your videos hope you're doing well😊
Now that I have heard all of this one, I fianlly find out why I could not figure out where your English cane from! You mentioned Sweden, but later, doing your type rating u=you ere in the Netherlands for some time. I had not heard that parlance before, so along with all,I also learned something, as is the life of an "information scavenger"!
Cheers all, again,
Bruce M.
He's Swedish. I guess where the training is depends on the airline, or perhaps there's a school for it at Maastricht?
That's awesome yet harsh! One day, your wife and you should make a video together so that we can hear her side of things
Great informative video
Very interesting. Can't wait to get to that stage of the career.
great video, i am going to start the type rating in a couple of months ;D
Hi Mentour Pilot, fantastic advice and explanations in your videos- very fortunate to have stumbled upon your channel. I'm keen for your take in regards to very contrasting options I have as fresh Australian CPL/ME graduate (200hrs) w frozen ATPL. As a dual national, I have a unique option to try the General Aviation route or instruct like most do here or apply directly to the airlines in Indonesia with high chances as most are expanding and taking Ab-Initio pilots. But of course taking into account, generally sketchier aviation standards and large differences in quality b/t airlines. With the end goal to be flying for a reputable international carrier at this stage- any of your thoughts, suggestions and considerations very much appreciated :). (ps I've grown up in 4 very different countries so literally could be happy anywhere)
Very interesting videos, I'm currently in the middle of my training, and would be looking to potentially Apply for your "current airline" within the next year. Would it be possible for some videos on what it's like flying for your specific airline, with regards to current interview assessment, contracts, holidays, and general specifics. Thanks!
HI Mentour, Love the videos. I'm starting a 737 type rating in 4 weeks time. I'm trying to prepare as much as possible before hand but there is so much information. What would be good to get a head start on before I'm thrown in the deep end in 4 weeks. Thanks very much.
+Mentour Pilot . Cheers. keep up the good work.
But what if your sim partner is uncooperative and doesn't want to practice together? Sounds like you were lucky that you did your course with your buddies, and also were nice enough to accept the third person into your pair, not everyone is so accommodating like that.
after listening to that im so hyped !
"We were eating, breathing, shitting 737"
LMAO
Hi Captain. I appreciate your videos because you're the first person I found that speaks about the aviation world. I would like to ask a couple of questions : 1. I'm at the last session of my high school and I'm looking forward to move to Canada and attend a flight school. What do you think about the flight school in Canada?; 2. I'm not rich. What do you advise me to do? Because since when I was a kid I always loved the idea of being a pilot and I don't want to let it go. Thanks
Nice
hi mentour,should I apply to take the SIA cadet pilot programme.It will be fully sponsored by Singapore airlines and after completion I will be working as a first officer.should I apply for it?
great video! where are you from?
Hi. If you are planning to sponsor your own type rating I suggest you really do your homework. I did my EASA B737 type rating in the US, and ended up with a Greek instructor. He had a lot of experience, but he was a really bad instructor. If you did a mistake he started to scream why did you do that instead of telling you how it should be done. So be careful and do your homework before choosing.
***** I haven`t been able to find a job even with a type rating. At the moment I think a type rating without hour on type is pretty much useless. Now that it is time to renew my TR I kind of regret my decision to pay for TR without a job offer. Too late to think about that now. You just have to look forward....
***** Tanx...I will!
What do you do after the type rating? Let's say you've finished school at the age of 18, then you go to college for 2 years (20y old) what do you do after? Do I go to university, and get a degree. What is the average age that pilots finish and get their license and potentially applying for a job for an airlines?
Well some 21+ some require you to be at least 21 to get atpl
Do you have to make first type rating for small aircraft (like a320, 737, CRJ etc.)?
can you choose any typerating or just a specific one,and after you have chosen and been flying for quite a while now with that plane ,can you again switch to another typerating?
Helios flight 522 had a UK trained pilot /flight attendant in the cockpit BUT was unable to land the aircraft because of type rating, WHY🤔. I can land a plane just from playing video games..
Hello. Great video thanks for the info on a type. I currently have 234 hours and 29 ME hours. I am deciding whether or not to do a 737NG type rating or not. Could you please explain the benefits and also my biggest worry is that i will be stuck only to 1 type of aircraft and wont be allowed to apply to A320 positions.
Also with a 737 type and low hours would that increase my chance of a job? look forward to your response!!
Anthony
***** thank you for your reply. Yes this is the exact situation I am in now. I dont know if its a good idea to do the type or not as you said airlines require 500 hours on type which i wont have after the type!!
I was thinking at maybe paying for Base and then line training but i dont think i have the money.
I will check out your video when is becomes live in your channel thanks for the help!
***** and how exactly do you apply to cadet scheme ...and also when you apply to an airline without TR but with ATPL + 1500+h do they pay for the TR?
***** Thanks for the information!
+Mentour Pilot What is cadet? i read about cadet programs before but can you explain more? thanks.
***** What do you think about this cadet program?

I'm a Swedish 13 y/o and thinking about becoming a pilot. Do you have any tips for getting into a Swedish pilot school?
ESweden by Emerald MC graduate highschool first
I hope you could clear my understanding, am abit confused about what planes can be flown example with just a regular PPL as well as CPL. Do all planes require type ratings?, because i have noticed mostly people talk about type ratings when they speak of big jets so am abit confused at the moment hope to get a reply..And do please keep up the good work i love this channel you speak very clearly and openly i hope maybe you could make a video about my question.
+Nelson Mabeyo Since I'm a US CFI I'll answer this :)
Your PPL allows you to fly piston engine aircraft weighing less than 12,500 lbs.
If you want to fly an aircraft with 200HP or more you need the high performance endorsement.
If you want to fly high altitude/pressurized you need the high altitude endorsement.
If you want to fly an aircraft over 12,500 lbs or a turboprop or a turbine powered aircraft the FAA requires you to have a type rating.
Thanks StratMatt for clearing that for me, Aviation is such a complex industry am trying as much as i can to gather knowledge about it hopefully to play part in this industry as an Aviator myself. Then again i must be lucky i got a reply from a CFI and believe your very knowledgeable about the industry i hope you wont mind me contacting you for more info.
Nelson Mabeyo You are welcome! I should have specified that you can only fly "Single engine land" airplanes with an intitial PPL single-engine land license. For multi you have to do a Private Multi.
To fly commercial you will need a Commercial Multiengine rating.
I don't have a ton of inside knowledge, but I can recommend not going into debt for flight training! A flight instructor or regional pilot cannot afford payments on $75,000 of debt.
Here is a great website made by a Delta 767 captain for peopel who want to learn more about becoming an airline pilot.
www.jetcareers.com/
And there are forums like this www.airlinepilotforums.com/
This is a very good time to be a pilot.
There will be a shortage pretty soon... it has already begun, BUT there wouldn't be a shortage if regionals paid $40,00 a year instead of $20,000 to $27,000 (in the US) ... because there are commercial pilots who are working in more profitable professions.
+StratMatt777 Thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction, i found the links you shared very helpful, i took time to go through jet careers, tones of info i didn't know and am going to take time to check out the forums for more info. By any chance maybe if you ever get info about prices of type ratings for boeing aircrafts especially 737, 777, 787 please let me know. Thanks agian i appritiate the support.
+Nelson Mabeyo What country are you in? In the U.S. you don't have to buy your own type rating (unless you want to fly for Southwest Airlines). The airline that hires you puts you through their training for the type.
Flight Safety is a well-known reputable place in the U.S. but it is probably not cheap.
I think that type ratings may be around $10,000, but I'm not sure.
Your airline require you to pay for your rating? O_O that's the first time i hear that. My uncle is also a pilot in a local low cost airline here in my country and he didnt pay for his rating O_O
Hey captain i have a question im a student studying my last year in school and i just want to know what is the next steps i need to do aside from getting in the flight school and a good university ? What is the next thing i need to do to become a commercial airline pilot
Hani .yahya get your private license instrument ratings commercial license (if in usa) 1500 hours of flight
Hey can. U tell me how to become a pilot of a380
hi mentour, is it necessary to buy a type rating or not??
Hi, I want to be a pilot, I am currently going through getting into an aeronautic Engineering degree,I am thinking of going through the military route, either becoming a M/E or Fast jet pilot and then after about 10 years to transfer to commercial flying because as you said in your earlier vlog airlines try and get you home everyday so its not that hard on the family if you are doing medium to short haul flights.Have you ever met military pilots and are they highly regarded, also would you recommend this route or should I go straight into the commercial field.
Thanks i am going to an RAF base today and i will ask if RAF allows a career to be flight based because i am not interested in commanding pilots or getting a staff job, thanks for the reply will definitely help me make a better decision!
Mentour more like Men Tour amirite? xD
Captain, just wondering what your IQ is, I know your very smart, thanks keep up the great work
Do you need to have minimum of 1500 flight hours outside the USA to apply for major airlines ?
No, in Europe you can be employed straight out of flight school.
Mentour Pilot is it considered "taboo" to go oversees for low-time pilot jobs with the objective being to return to the U.S. later? Many foreign airlines i see require permanent residence for their pilots. I don't necessarily feel good about going overseas to take their jobs, but the 1500 hour rule is making it very tough here.
How long does it take to complete your typerating?
Said Ozturk - About 6 weeks apparently
It is so unfair that you have to pay the type rating in Europe. Everywhere else in the world, the airline pays it for you. So in Europe you get a CPL/IR/ME but you can´t get a job. It´s so stupid.
Back when people didn't need to fear demonetization for shitting 737...
What is "CVT"?
***** You mentioned it quite a few times during this video, Actually i'm wondering the same thing :) Thanks!! :)
Thanks for responding. At 7:20 you mentioned CVT.
Ahhh, Thank you!!! Your channel has actually been very helpfull, as i'm about to begin my final year of A-Level's and hopefully in a few years i will be flying! :) Thanks! :)
Will Do!, Thanks!
what airline do u fly
K
