My First Time Flying A Jet - Boeing 737 Base Training
Recently I passed my Boeing 737 type rating skill test and today is a very special day. I'll be flying the Base training at Shannon (EINN/SNN) airport in Ireland - my first time at the controls of the real aircraft. The plan is to perform 5 touch and goes, one go around and a full stop landing under the supervision of an experienced captain and safety pilot. It's quite a surreal feeling sitting in the right seat rolling onto the runway for the first time - but I was mainly really excited to finally be able to fullfill my dream. Many hours of studying and lots of simulator sessions have all led to this moment. After a short wait we received our take off clearance - and "I have control".
The 737 handles beautifully, I really enjoyed my time at the controls - it's a very rewarding aircraft to fly. But that's it for now, next up is flying with passengers during line training, see you on board!
Thanks for watching, and if you have any feedback or questions, just let me know!

Well that destroys the myth that Ryanair pilots do hard landings. 5 excellent touchdowns. Congratulations.

It takes great skill and ability to handle a multi- million pound machine like the Boeing.

They definitely do, though! 😂
I am a retired airline pilot. I remember my first takeoff and landing in a DC9 over 40 years ago like it was yesterday. Enjoy your career , I loved every day.
Great to see new pilots get immediately 5 landings and take offs. Practice is everything.

Congratulations Jonathan - I'm a train driver and I'll never forget the first time I drove on the mainline for the first time. All that hard work in the classroom becomes so worth it and the novelty never wears off.
They say no two landings are the same but you’re showing great consistency there, especially on your first outing. An experience you’ll never forget throughout your flying career! You greased that full-stop landing in particular. Even the most experienced pilot would be proud of that one. Well done!

Don't forget that all the landings were at the same airport in a very short space of time so the conditions would probably have been close to identical each time. Still very well executed.
Congratulations and don’t forget to keep the legacy of hard landings going!
I’m a 17 year old in flight training in New Zealand. I’m also a flight instructor so i can bring my hours up and get into airlines easier. My dream is to fly Qantas future A350-1000s. It’s so cool to see you finally in a jet after all of your flight training, tests and exams well done you earned it❤👍I’ve watched your channel for 2 years now ❤

Bravo !! Well done. I remember my Dad driving me to the airport, as I was too young to drive in 1972 for flying lessons. 8 British pounds an hour back then to fly a C150 with Instructor. !!....simply wonderful ! I am so glad for you.
Congrats, i remember my first flight back in the 90s ... on the 737-200 ... amazing feeling. -Your next goal, the left seat!👌👌👌
It’s always a fantastic feeling when all your hard work has paid off. You will be a great first officer and future captain
Congratulations sir! I am inspired by people who follow their dream like you. Thank you for including me on your journey.

Congrats! I had my base training on the A320 in January, it’s something no pilot will ever forget
Those landings were top notch, I can’t believe this was your first time flying a full size aircraft, I know you were in the simulator but wow!

Fantastic. So happy for you to have come this far! Well done. And so cool to have had all your handy work captured on video for future posterity.
sat glued to this! Grand job and some beautiful touchdowns. Great Great Video! All the best in your aviation career.
Very well done on the landings! It's been great to follow the story from the beginning when you were still doing ground school and now you're managing to land a "big" commercial jet. Congrats!
Congrats! Very nice of you to share your journey from flight school all the way to this point. Need more people like you! Really greased those landings.

Congratulations 🎊 👏 Enjoyed watching the touch and goes. You could see the landings getting smoother after each one.
Great at of all your landings. Your number 4&5 landings were spot on. Many times flying into Shannon. Probably the most hospitable and professional ground handlers ever even during winter storms.
Great job, greased them in, splash two. Not even any smoke from mains when touching down. Flew it like you own it.
What everyone else said...great landings and smooth takeoffs too. You are a natural. .
Bro i am excited just hearing about your first takeoff in that 737. Congratulations & it must of been exhillerating, surreal, and oddly-routine from all the training at the same time
Congratulations! Jonathan, I’m very happy for you 😁
Wow, you were amazing! Thank you so much for bringing us with you on this epic step in your career! Wish you all the best! ❤
Exciting days! Good luck and a lot of fun on your new job
Congratulations! Jonathan, I’m very happy for you . Good Job
Congratulations Pilot Jonathan! Wishing you a long flying career. Be safe🙏🏻🇺🇸
Well done and nice accurate landings too, it's a big step in any pilot's career. I recall going from the Beechcraft Baron to the Boeing 707 in 1971 before we had the quality simulators which we have today - good game! We did a lot more on the aircraft base training including dutch roll recovery and mach tuck.
Feeling proud for someone I've never met is such a profound feeling. Good job mate.
An absolutely beautiful moment for you, can't believe how surreal it must have felt - keep it up, amazing work!
Congratulations, I remember when my son was doing his base training back in 2014 in a A320 at Doncaster. All the very best with your career. Great landings
Wonderful video, wonderful pilot, thanks for sharing, may you have a super career and 100s of flights. Dedication and hard as you say you must be very proud I tip my hat Sir, happy landings, take care.
This is extremely cool to see someone so young being able to handle a whole B737 like it's an every day drive! It really give's me that extra boost of motivation to carry on with my studies and get perfect grade's at school to therefore move on into flight school. Keep doing what your doing because it's great!
A few of those being right on the touchdown zone big markers. Great job and congrats.
Great time for aspiring pilots! Ryanair, Aer Lingus, and British Airways have all recently been recruiting cadets😊
Well done Jonathan you have made a great start , a long hard journey to get there but there's no other job like it.
Wow amazing video. Just saw a bit more then 7 minutes but i will call this video an inspiration for me. I will start to prepare my application for pilot assessment soon. Your video is motivating me even more. Best of luck on the Line Training and greetings from BER! Keep it goin :)
Congratulations and well done. Wishing you many safe and enjoyable flying hours.
Good, good landings. Very smooth ones. Congratulations and good luck in your airlines career.
Nicely done! Wishing you many happy landings.
Congrat! Nice Landing and takeoffs wish you a nice time on the B737
Well done sir and congratulations on following your dreams.
Shannon is my local airport i watch the patterns all the time thanks for the insight!
Well done dude! Looking forward to following your career.
Best of luck and safe flying to you 👍👍 whatever about the time fly safe . Shannon has a long runway ideal for touch and go.
That was very impressive, hope you enjoy your future career!
I'm currently doing my ATPL's, watching this gives me so much motivation to be in your position in a couple of years. Good job man, you're living my dream

Well done Fella, It must have been a lot of pressure on you having an experienced 737 captain and a safety pilot watching your every move! And your full stop landing was super greased! Congrats, Subbed and liked and look forward to more of your 737 adventures 👌
Congratulations excellent landings, hope to see you on a flight sometime 🎉
Congratulations! What a brilliant video. I’m now following your channel.
Great! That have to be amazing feeling to achieve your goal, and follow your dreams! I am going to fly as a commercial pilot too. "When something go wrong, just go around and make another approach"
Congratulation Jonathan, what an accomplishment to see you there in a 737. All the best
Great stuff. As someone who only ever flew single Piston engine A/C, your landings seemed quite impressive. Your ground school & sim sessions obviously paid off. Not sure if it was someone with the airline or a friend/family member that stood outside in the weather to film this, but it’s so cool you have the footage. Kudos to them, as well. Safe flying!
Congratulations young man, you’re on your way to a great career
Congratulations and best of luck going forward. Wishing you happy takeoffs and landings

Congratulations man , you're a lucky guy!, beautiful touchdowns man.
Very good landings especially for base training, I also think one of them was a butter if I saw right so amazing for first time flying the real plane!
Congratulations on your first flight. You did fantastic.
Well done Jonathan, your landings looked excellent to me. Not a pilot myself... I wish I could have been, but I do have a few hours piloting light singles, and enjoyed every minute... maybe onto bigger things in my next life. Keep up the good work, and I wish you all the best in your flying career.
