Mentour and Captain Joe uploads on the same minute! must be a sign

Recently at very large airports where it is difficult for controllers to see the windsock due to distance the controllers came up with an ingenious idea. Although the idea was stolen it is considered quite reliable on standard day standards. The ideal is a patch of lawn is grown on the tower ledge right outside the Head Controllers sight glass. The Head Troller opens the side sight glass and grabs a handful of grass and proceeds to toss it into the air. Which way the grass is blowing in the wind announces the direction of the headwind.

Some airports have preferred runways due to noise constraints. An example is London Heathrow with a 5-knot tailwind preference for the 27 runway direction. Another example is the now-closed Hong Kong International (Kai Tak) with a 5-knot tailwind preference for runway 13 in wet weather and a 10-knot tailwind preference in dry weather due to buildings immediately ahead of runway 31.

Excellent video! I have learned so much about aviation from both Mentour and Captain Joe!

Thank you for your explanation on why headwind is usually the preferred approach for landings/takeoffs. You make it easy to understand for the non-pilots out there.

Another brilliant, simple video explaining things for us mere mortals that don't know about this stuff. Brilliant. Look forward to the next upload!

I loved that video! It was so detailed and easy to understand. Thank you very much!

Hello Captain, you are my mentor & like Teacher, I fly in to Simulation but I'm a serious flight simmer I'm following from past few years And I'm happy say have learn a lot about Aviation, such as aircraft behaviour, weather, etc... All thanks to you, also I follow Captain joo as well he also so good.

Thank you Mentour Pilot !!! Please make a detailed video on the actual use of flaps and slats and the meaning of the numbers used to set the flaps like for example: "Flaps to four." ; "Flaps to full." etc.

Start and land pref. with a head wind. That's the same with flying model aircrafts and when it's a strong wind, it touches down with almost no ground speed at all. Cool to see, but hard to master. Good video (again).

Yes. I've watched the Captain Joe video on Runway numbering

Definitely looking forward to the ATIS video!

Thanks for another great video! I was wondering, why do both the Captain and the First Officer push and appear to hold the throttle levers on take off?

When I was flying light twins from the Channel Islands to Bournemouth(Hurn Airport) England many years ago we were routinely ordered to land on Runway 35 and not Runway 26 even though the wind was from the West ! I questioned this several times and was told the Dart Heralds and Larger Aircraft had priority on Runway 26 ! I thought it was expediency for ATC and we were told to do as we were told ! Also it meant we didn't have to be positioned by ATC due Magnetic Track from Channel Islands.

Totally cool great video too.and runways the tail winds and head winds you done an excellent job..Thank you so much for your videos and everything you do.

Always wondered about the runway numbers so having them explained, finally knowing it’s about degrees is great and makes perfect sense. Do you have any thoughts about airports with mostly parallel runways versus airports with many cross runways? In Chicago, for example, they’ve been going through a huge, expensive expansion and reconfiguration of runways, adding new, longer parallel runways, and eliminating all runways that cross other runways - for safety reasons. Getting rid of cross runways appears to be a big safety issue in the US and a lot of airports are doing it. But I have to wonder if eliminating these runways means there will be more crosswinds to deal with?

so nice to see your shout out to captain joe. i have followed his channel as well with interest. both of you are a credit to your airlines and your industries. i also see his comment below. i hope you 2 manage to hook up for a beer. i do not earn on the level that you 2 do, in fact, at present i am not doing so well, but regardless, and like many others, i really value the time and effort you both take to make these great videos for us all. i shall sell a kidney (lol) and will shout you the beer with the proceeds by contributing to you via patreon. keep up the great work fellas. tip my hat to you both. cheers

I've always wondered - if you are taking off into an intermittent headwind (almost no wind is constantly blowing at a consistent speed), how is it safe to trust the rotation indicator? What if you reach 140 knots or whatever the rotation speed is for a 737, and just as you begin to rotate, the wind dies completely? Aren't you afraid of a stall? Or does the rotation indicator provide a margin for wind fluctuation?

Man you understand this stuff for real 😂

Great Video! What s the app you use to calculate the runway and landing speed? Thanks again

I enjoy watching your videos. Can you explain how you properly fly in a circle to land approach

Always a pleasure to watch! In relation to runways I have another question. Why are some runways not completely flat but slightly wavy? (For example Birmingham Airport UK)

thanks nice vedioe

So when you have to input a runway to land whilst setting up FMC before takeoff do you guess the runway or find out what it is at the time and hope it doesn’t change?

Can you do a video about the approach briefing? Thanks Peter

Hello, hello. Such a fantastic channel, also Captain Joe. I enjoy a lot with of you guys. Congratulations. I have a question: on your point of view, what do you think is more risky, take off or landing? I always think it is landing... All the best, Gonzalo

Question Mentor : if you have 20 knots headwind for landing and can perform a safer, shorter stop - over time will that correlate to less wear and tear on the aircraft as well?

American a great big fan of both of use you and Captain Joe I hope you both make a video together I like to see that. it'll be great I'm not only a fan but I'm a follower and thank you I always feel safe as a passenger when I fly doing things about a plane thanks to both of y'all videos is very exciting in very entertaining I love it take care of your both

Most of the time the controllers get together the night before and have their palms read and/or chart the alignment of the stars in the sky. After a long discussion at daybreak (after that morning's mixed drinks) they determine what runway to use by picking numbers written on paper out of a hat.

I suppose this suggestion is not really possible, but here goes... How about a fan ride where you get about 100 of your fans to commit to a short flight where you allow them to walk around the aircraft with you, show them the cockpit, and "behind the scenes" areas inside the aircraft like the crew quarters, then go an a short flight circling the airport where you talk about all the things you are doing while in flight. It shouldn't cost any more per person than any other short flight, or maybe a little more...

Dear, whats that is chart which you show for tuning frequency is that named Aerodrome chart, how is it used? i believe they are handed out to the pilot by the airline, what in case if pilots are hijacked and are going to unknown airport (where you don't have the chart), in that case how you tune to that airport etc?

Greetings from Malaysia! Enjoy and learned so much from your videos! I would like to know do pilots already know which runway to be used for landing at the destination airport to be used for landing before they takeoff? Take KUL for instance, it has 3 runways (14L/32L, 14R/32R and 15/33) and as per your explanation the KUL ATC probably will decide which particular runway to be used subject to weather, wind direction and probably the number of flights approaching at specific time of the day (and I assume busy international airport will dedicate one runway for taking off while the other for landing at a given specific period). Do pilots know which runway to land before departure or only after they enter Malaysia airspace and guided the approach by KUL ATC? Are there designated "routes" to approach from either end of the runway? Those "routes" are pre-determined or as and when instructed by ATC? Thanks!

Can I get a link to the video with the ATIS codes? I want to watch it, but I can't find the video.

great explanation, can you pls tell us the difference between the fixed landing light and retractable landing lights?

@c0ldw1nd27

6 жыл бұрын

The fixed landing lights are in the wingroot, they can only be turned on and off and they do not create extra drag. The retractable landing lights are located in the lower fuselage centerline, they can be retracted, extended (off) and extended (on). They create extra drag when extended and can be used to reduce airspeed without turning the lights on. EDIT: This description is valid for the 737NG, in previous generations the location of the lights is different.

Captain Mido channel fixed landing gear means as its name implies it fixed to the fuselage and cannot be move like single slow moving aircraft , were as retractable landing gear means the landing gear can move into an inclosed area such the airfoils (wings) or the under belly or in some turboprop the nacelles, the aim is to reduce as much drag as you go forward into the air.

If the runways are numbered by compass bearing, how do they deal with magnetic declination over time? Do they need to renumber the runways every so often?

Chuck Norris has landed on runway 37

This means that if the headwind is 150knots, hypothetically of course, a plane could land like a helicopter with full flaps. And take off like a helicopter if the headwind is more than rotate speed.

@barryfowler954

That has happened, pilots training on tiger moths early WWII caught airborne as wind speeds increased had to have airmen out on the field grab hold of the wings as they landed vertically at above normal landing air speed so as not be going backwards when they touchdown. As silly as it may sound, it's not just hypothetically possible, I myself have had times when I've had to come in on final with a much higher air speed than normal and a lower flap setting and still had a laughably low ground speed on touchdown.

@WIRRUZZZ

With gliders, you can (relatively) easily stay stationary in the air or even fly backwards slowly (relative to the ground) in moderately high winds. I've done that myself. I haven't heard or seen somebody use this for takeoff or landing, I think this is due to the fact that, close to the ground, you have a "boundary layer" where windspeed is reduced compared to at altitude and that you tend to have mechanical turbulence, i.e. turbulence caused by air passing over obstacles such as trees, etc.. In these conditions you want to have some additional speed close to the ground to ensure the aircraft keeps flying and controlable in case the turbulence momentarily reduces the airspeed. So even for aircraft with stall speeds of maybe 60km/h this is hardly practical, and I don't think anyone would ever want to try this in weather conditions that cause wind speeds of 150kts ;)

woooo captain joe!!!

I have a question. What do you think of this idea to build circular runways so as to avoid crosswind?

My question: Do you use both ends of a runway for landing /taking off. OR is it fixed ?. Only ne end for taking off/landing?. From your explanation,I understand that both ends are used for both landing and taking off..

VIDEO TOPIC: I feel safer on planes that show maps with the Progression of the flight. I would feel even SAFER, and less LONELY, if the plane shared a map showing us the nearest planes...for example.... how far is the nearest plane behind us and where is it heading. Could you show us how busy the skies are on a typical transatlantic flight?

I understand runway numbers and preference to headwinds. But what about parallel runways? If you have two or more runways going the same direction, why would you not use the runway nearest to the departing gate and taxi all the way around the airport to use the other runway? I see a lot of that go on at airports like PDX, SLC, DEN, and ORD.

your cooking videos are real good but you should do more airplane videos.

Aside from engine failure, what sorts of other failures might cause you to abort take off before you reach the decision speed?
