This is a great video for those who aren't in the aviation industry.

Great and informative documentary about maintenance and inspection

Glad you liked it!

@jbjumpback: For the manual extension of the gear...the belts are what allow the gear to drop when the main gear selector handle fails to lower the gear by electrics/hydraulics.

[@ashadowinsociety]

They are called night wand's buddy :) I don't know if they call them anything different elsewhere, but that's what I have in my aircraft maintenance notes :)

[@TheAnaphos]

A few ways that may help you if you want to become a airline pilot. 1.join the air cadets. It's a millitary organisation but if you join it Dosent mean you have to be in the RAF or the USAF. Flying is free (well you have to pay subs but yeah) and paying £12 a month (that's the price on my squadron) is a lot cheaper than £60+ per lesson if you buy it. You will get a feeling for flying and know how to fly small aircraft. 2.do your research, If you learn how different parts of a plane works will help you in your writing tests. Personally I want to be a thyphoon pilot in the RAF ( i would be a a-10 pilot of I was American but :P ) 3.take every opportunity, if you have a opportunity to go into the cockpit of a plane, do it. Hope this helps Oh and do well in school

[@gwheyduke]

If your inbound aircraft is late, how do you manage to complete a proper preflight, cockpit set up and briefing, as well as clean the cabin and cross seatbelts before departaure? Do you check destination weather and alternate weather before or after cleaning out the seat back pockets?

[@shameemakhatoon8653]

great video and thanks a lot sir..........

[@dagoberto23]

APU is a smal turbine (not 4 thrust) torque (rotation) it provides electrical power & air for engine start & airconditioning w the air packs. It's auxiliary when engines aren't running but the pilot will keep it on just for emergency on take off or landing. Airplanes also have the RAT (ram air turbine) is a propeller type, it provides hydraulic power if lost on the engines hydr. pumps it will help deploy the landing gear & move essential flight controls. It's always stowed so u won't see it.

[@askcaptainscott]

Great production!

[@donnycross]

We had a lady pilot, on our holiday flight last year no problem with that, but when we got to our destination airport, we had to wait over an hour, whilst they brought a male pilot out, to park the plane

[@donnycross]

Errrr I was just making a joke.

[@runwayblond]

Wasn`t funny

[@donnycross]

Yes it was,even our female pilot found it funny.

[@DeeK1992]

hahahaha damn wtf :D

[@Nightningahmh]

Don Cross Thats wasn't funny I a a male and I think women are just as good as we are at things.

[@JBCLProductions]

i know a a380 pilot, a340 pilot, and a md80 pilot. and they all love their job.

[@dagoberto23]

I don't know about female pilots but gives me a smile when I see 1 in the cockpit when I'm going to a gate call but honestly I have the biggest respect to a female A&P mechanic.... I salute u my sistas ya'll know what we do and if u haven't gotten hydraulic fluid on your eyes yet u haven't beeing baptised yet lol.... happens to the best.

[@joey4495]

Reading some of the comments on here, it's pretty disappointing to hear such sexist remarks; if someone is qualified to do a job, they can do that job. A girl can be either a good or bad pilot, same as us guys. My instructor up till the end of private licence training was a beautiful 24 year old girl who was one of the best instructors I've ever had. It's 20fucking14 now people, if you can't accept that everyone deserves an equal chance then we don't need you up there.

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@219nab1]

Looks like fun!

[@EdWittenable]

The title is misleading. There was very little time showing airline pilots at work.

[@jbjumpback]

Just for my curiosity, what type of aircraft has belts as part of the landing gear extend or retract system?

[@paintball321]

It doesn't matter if you have IFR equipment in your aircraft. If you do not know how to cross check it and the instrument's errors to safely navigate

[@sartok07]

you deserve my thumps up

[@strovrpwr]

I've loved commercial aviation since before I could read and write. Pilot was what I always knew I would be but the life in the airlines continues to deteriorate and I feel that pursuing aviation will not allow me to make an impact on my community or achieve happiness. But I'll always love aviation, I'm just reluctant to go for a career in aviation. But hey, if a unique opportunity reveals itself to me then maybe I'll go for it. But the traditional route is not enticing.

[@robertkurt2]

@aroundtheclock I see. Well I can tell you as a former Airport Authority employee who used to clear snow off of and inspect runways, taxiways and aprons, Westjet is superior to AC. Their pilots and ground crew are friendly as well as appreciative of the work we would do. Plus Westjet treats their employees and customers far superior than AC does. I don't know much about Porter so I can't comment. But in the end You gotta do what works for you.

Aw, damn it. Had I known this was a canadian TV show I wouldn't have clicked on this video.

[@strovrpwr]

I hope pilots are never trained to become too reliant on computers

[@HamzaTheSpartan117]

Nope, as long as your vision can be corrected to 20/20 with corrective lenses or Lasek Eye Surgery, you can acquire your Class 1 medical certificate. Only if you cannot acquire 20/20 vision with any sort of correction you may not fly. It's not a deal breaker to wear glasses but in some countries it still is. In Canada and the United States as long as it can be corrected, you're good but I'm not quite sure about the military. They still may have the restriction though in the military...

[@roosterinorbit]

Did I hear that right? Boundary Bay?!

[@vuyo1100]

I didn't make it as a pilot.I started "ab initio".I failed to do my "first solo". Does that mean I am an idiot? Is it advisable for someone like me to try again or is flying just not for me? I was doing my training in England and unfortunately the English weather didn't do me any favors.

[@LUCRAVE]

Cycle is a one flight - one take-off and one landing

[@brentlowe7578]

Cockpit crew cleaning the cabin?!? We're going to be up serving drinks next.

[@PIlotrcm]

BTW in my previous comment I was referring to never getting the time off to go home NOT that you would crash.

[@vze4p6c2]

Umm.. forgot to ask, how much mass does 747's full tank fuel capacity add on the weight of the plan?

[@410balla]

Can wait to enter flight school in the fall

[@JustineBieberxoxo]

Dream yes, but in one of the most crowded countries in Europe with even more crowded skies flying is €500+ per hour(for small stuff, bigger is more expensive). And then you need someone to instruct you, not a bargain either. A full license for the big stuff with passengers is €450.000 and climbing(as gasprices increase). Even if you sell your apartment you can't manage that here. I only fly a microlite and even that requires a mass amount of paperworks and thousands.

[@Turkorican1978]

the best way to get their is to get in contact with your local flight school, have you ever thought about that? :-)

[@TheAnaphos]

Oh and if your into this type of stuff, try some sims like DCS and FSX, they are insanely realistic

[@hawker800FO]

no they arent

[@TropicanaOJ]

I think the real life thing is more realistic.

[@rethinker167]

what i know about west jet is that when you are a pilot for west jet your not allowed to take the plane off autopilot. like thats no fun at all. like i know for air canada or air transat that they let the pilots hand fly the planes. but west jet only allowing to be autopilot is no fun at all

[@TheSexybeastish]

I want this game.

[@unkameat74]

i don't fly any canadian airline cause it cost 3 times as much in the states--but canadians are used to gettin up tha wazzu when it comes to pricing--besides who wants to visit the north pole anyway--everytime i turn around canadians are comin to nevada or arizona....

[@flapsnslats]

I am American, and I'm not neglecting what our British allies have done for us. However, if you think that what comes out of America is war, religion and oppression, you are more than a bit uneducated with our History, our Government, and all the things that make us this great country today.

[@mikeycv1]

would you mind telling me how??? so then i can be a pilot too?

[@jeremybear14]

when you've been on an aircraft especially a 737 which can last 11 hours in the air without refueling with little option to sleep i think it is fair the pilots don't have to clean up I'd be wanting to get some sleep.

[@Z526]

@easyamp123 Bald. The jet I fly never seems to wear evenly between the tires. Until it wears through the tread and starts showing threads, it's good to go!

[@2HellWUtube]

A lot. Explore and read.

[@Robhalifax]

Why has the pilot taken helium?

[@wow97201]

yearly Salary for FO in canada?

[@planecrazy101ya]

I'm planning on being a pilot and I wouldn't mind. Plus I've stayed and helped pick up trash on a 767 before.

[@NutShellGaming]

Actually, i read that British Airways pays £32,000-£130,000 for pilots, co-pilots and flight engineers.

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

Why is the stewardess sitting in the first officers seat?

[@Ross_Easy98]

As I said it is an emergency back up just in case the standard hydraulics fail to lower the gear

[@BloodstainedSinner]

I'd much rather be in a Marine Air Wing, pulling 6G turns @ 700mph, climbing from 10,000 feet to 30,000 feet in less than 20 seconds with full throttle and afterburners.

[@InvigoratedSewerRat]

BloodstainedSinner I'm 17 years old going into aviation for the Marine Corps after I graduate high school. That's the life to have!

[@robr9905]

Congrats alhfgsp, good choice. FYI, a high school grad you will be enlisted and only able to work on AC or be a crew member on one (i.e. C130). You will have to get your college degree and become and officer to be a pilot. Either is an excellent career choice and all the best to you.

[@Ricovandijk]

+BloodstainedSinner You forget to mention eating in the Mess tent, dodging scorpions and capital sized spiders in your sleeping bag. Either two can rule or dry as a Muslim.Freezing at night, burning a' day. and then you are on.. F## STANDBY all day.. like yesterday. like the day before.. and like the last two weeks before that.. no thank you my friend... I choose a civilian life now. But I do have all the respect and homage to who ever want to continue serving at the front for us!

[@JasonEllisBuilds]

[@flapsfull5418]

This is my dream which will never become true...

[@crazehcakes]

Just a question, is it your eyes? Because as of now they're adjusting the regulations. If it's because you don't know how to start, go to a college like Central Washington University that has a bond with a nearby airfields for their commercial piloting degree. And if it's that you can't find a job then you should go to different countries that have other airlines to choose from.

[@TheAviatorsTV]

@countryflyboy The entire episode focuses more on the pilot aspect than does this excerpt.
