Mentour pilot you are a credit to the airline industry! Been watching your videos and they are brilliant, can’t understand why people press the dislike button. And please ignore the immature people leaving stupid comments! Well done.

I got here after learning flying is hard from the microsoft flight simulator.

Flying is so damn easy. I just need to know when to use flaps

Absolutely love the close up shots of the leading edge devices being extended. That underneath perspective is really cool.

When I first saw the flaps I thought the aircraft was broken and started panicking lol, I was only a kid

Capt Mentour is a Boing 737 man and Capt Joe is Airbus 320 pilot. I'm glad to have subscribed to both of these gentlemen to learn about these aircraft.

Learnt so much from your explanations. The more I learn about the mechanics of flying, the more I love aircrafts. Thank you so much for sharing!

Wow.. just found this channel and I'm addicted... very nicely done!! and well spoken. Off the cuff and not scripted which I really enjoy!

Just discovered your channel and enjoy it very much. I have 250 hrs in a 172 and enjoy learning the details of what it's like to fly the airliners. keep up the good work sir.

You explain so well ... you make it sound so simple !! Thank You

Hey Mentour im Bingewatching your videos, and i love the quality and content. Ive definetly come to stay

Finally you uploaded it Its damn satisfying video. Very much impressed

Thanks for this one! Always been interested in the basic procedures for flaps during take-off and landing.

I think you’re a terrific teacher! Love your presentations... 👍👍

totally great on flaps and lifts drag settings. landing braking.and excellent job and the explanation too..THANK YOU.

Always love the technical videos.

This video was fantastic! I like the practical videos.

I love you. Omg, with you as a teacher anybody can understand everything. You are amazing.

Wow Mentour!!!!!! Thank you!!!! I asked you the question about flaps on a prevoius podcast and here it is!!!!!! A wonderful video as always!!! My respect for the responsibilities of pilots just increases everyday!!!!!!! Sir, I truly love and value all the help you provide us aspiring pilots and aviation enthusiasts !!!!!!!!!! Waiting for more technical videos:-) I would love to see more in depth technical and handling videos!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Thank you for yet another great and informative video!

Please talk about HUD displays like the ones on 787.

I LOVE the vids in the cockpit!!!

All ways enjoy your vids so much, I had been an aircraft technician for many years in the SA air force on Mirage III jetfighters in South Africa, Also ran the Jet engine test bench and find these vids very interesting. Must say the best in your category I've come across. I now live in Madagascar working with school children through education and and a Scouting program. Keep up the good work. Always had a love of flying but never had the opportunities. What I'm now doing is "Reaching Out - Touching Lives" and I love it !!!

Very good video that explains things in a simple way, thanks captain

Enjoy watching all your videos for the last several months now and definitely decided to become a subbie.. Keep-um coming now...

thanks for the detailed explanation.

Love these technical videos

Also, a byproduct of flaps 30 or 40 is increased drag and therefore higher engine rpm. This facilitates quicker engine spool-up to go-around thrust in case of a missed approach.

You’re BRILLIANT! So fluent & clear. Thank you so much.

I've been waiting for this podcast forever, and it is so interesting! Thanks so much. Luv all your podcasts. Happy New Year!

Nice instructive video! There are two points I'd like to mention. The increased drag of landing flaps are important to make steep approaches if you're flying a Cherokee or Twin Otter in mountainous terrain but most transport jets don't fly those profiles. We all (airliners) need to be at about 1000' at 3 miles. Early turbojet engines needed a lot of time to spool up to go-around thrust and the higher drag meant higher stable thrust on approach. Engineers built in high drag for that reason. This greatly reduces spool up time to go-around thrust. In fact some early turbojets (think 707, 727) were so slow to spool up you were basically committed to land once below 400' unless your power was up. Modern turbofans are better but the design concept remains. Lastly, at Delta we illuminate all lights (landing, wing, nacelle and runway turn-off) below 18,000' to maximize our visual impact. Perhaps it's because there's more general aviation traffic in the US. At Delta, it was technique, but not procedure to turn on the taxi light when landing clearance was received. "Exterior lights" was a checklist item on the descent check which was done descending through 18,000' which is the max limit for VFR traffic in the US. Each airline has slight variations. Cheers

Great video! It's nice to get these technical briefs.

this is a fantastic channel THANK YOU- reduce to eliminate fear!!!

Thanks Captain Joe, you make it easier. Well done

Great videos !!!! I am an aviation fan from Quebec, Canada and have utmost respect for airline pilots & the way they carry themselves while on duty. Keep it up!!!

Thanks for the reply Captain. Let me submit you an in flight scenario: you are in take off mode on the 737, 5 seconds after the ''positive climb, gear up'' call ,for some unimaginable reason you loose thrust in both engines. Would it be possible then for the piloting crew to recover from such an ordeal & bring the plane to a ''safe landing''? Thanks a million for reading me & all the best to you.

@@marcrheaume2631 I can see you are an inteligent person and I am sure you know what will happen in this scenario, don't you? Our teacher didnt answer for a reason so please don't put him in that difficult situation, just learn the positive stuff he is teaching us brilliantly 😉

Good video Mentour, I think flaps, slats,. ect. are one of the coolest features of wing aerodynamics and design. keep up the good work!

very great explanation, tysm!

Love these videos! I had no idea the leading edge of the wing changed shape at all!

Thanks, Mentour. I always wanted to know when to put down flaps. Well explained

So good explanation, I've learned more

Thank you Mentour for your dedication to us. This video is an awesome one. You are generous with knowledge and time and the result is great. I will share this video everywhere.Thanks again. Bye Bye

A thorough and very beautiful description. Thanks. I have wondered what the gates are for. Now we know.

Fantastic explanation. Thanks.

AWESOME video!!

Very informative and well presented video, keep up the good work Skipper!

All of these procedures seem quite complicated but you make them look quite easy. Thx.

Great stuff, flaps n slats .. more complex than I thought!

Very detailed explanation on the flaps operations-thumbs up

Excellent Thank you very much- this experience has caused a change in behaviour

Hi i like your channel very much. now question i want to ask, in the cockpit has many instrument and many switch control between pilot seat and co-pilot seat. how do get in the seat from back. look like you have to jump over those instrument and switch controls. am i understand right?

Mentour Pilot BTW: Mentour, I think what you are you doing to encourage young people, who want to be pilots, to achieve their dream is fantastic. I was once in that category, but surfing, girls, and rock n’ roll, took me down another path. No regrets, but...

From the 1970's when "P. jokes" were popular (99% of the people telling them couldn't find P. on a map). The pilot ask the c/p for flaps, more flaps, and still MORE flaps. They land successfully, & the pilot says, "Man, is this runway short" to which the c/p says, "Yeah, but it sure is wide!"
