How to take off with a Boeing 737-800.
In this video I will be talking a bit more about actual handling of the aircraft.
Let me know if you like it!

[@pureblood1978x]

Who keeps disliking these videos? They are superb.

[@pureblood1978x]

I think maybe you have a jealous rival pilot! Thankyou for these videos, the content is excellent.

[@springbok4015]

Simon Potter there is always dislikes on videos, no matter their quality.

[@davidsandell7833]

Simon Potter Yes they are superb. Great knowledge being shared. thank you!

[@silicon212]

An Airbus pilot, because their planes fly themselves. :/

[@johnferguson7235]

You Tube counts all thumbs up or down the same. They call it "engagement" and it helps the video make more money and more people see it in the "Recommended" list. So you can vote either way because any and all votes help the channel.

[@theodormagi]

One of my favorite videos Petter has done. I keep coming back to it.

[@pg9511]

I very much enjoyed your presentation on "How to take-off with a Boeing 737." It is interesting to learn that there are many procedures that keep both pilots fairly busy throughout the flight. Then there's always the unknowns of radio alerts, high winds, a bird flying into an engine... Thanks for giving so much detail. It makes me feel almost that I'm in the pilot's seat...

[@JYCrazy1]

I'm a fairly new X-Plane simmer and I learned loads of new things in this video, I didn't realise how nuanced the rotation is. It's really hard to find good quality instructional videos like this. Keep it coming!

[@dannyswindell9145]

Excellent advice. I am not a pilot, but your teaching is very important to me. I enjoy it. Most of this is over my head, but it is a privilege to hear.

[@SamuelOlives]

Great, finally found a channel that covers technical aspects and not just cockpit videos. Keep videos coming please! Cheers.

[@bigbtripathi]

I think this is the most detailed and friendly explanation I have seen in youtube on takeoffs. I have few doubts as well. 1) Role of flaps during take off ,2) What exactly does that Togo button does, 3) some more details on how to check for postive climb rate etc. I have not seen all of your videos and I hope they are covered somehwer else I will try to google these out. Thank you.

[@abdulhusseinabdulhussein8047]

An excellent explanation and an excellent presentation ! Thank You !

[@neilabbott9497]

All these videos are truly excellent . Thank you for finding the time and having the patience to make the. Your efforts are much appreciated by us all.

[@CJR94]

your videos are excellent help to someone who is considering a career in commercial aviation. Keep it up!

[@junnagels]

amazing detailed explanations! love it, great content. keep it up! and thank you for putting your time in the making of these videos!

[@H2R5GSXR]

Great video!!! As you say, different airlines have slightly different callouts but the same thing happens. Congrats on being such a young Captain, you deserve it.

[@Stephanie-vt8xi]

so 10 degrees = able to leave the ground? 15-17 degrees = safe climbing rate? Rotation means pulling back to get the aircraft off the ground, and using back pressure is rotating the plane. Awesome! I am glad I understand those terms now! 30cm of clearance...woah! Loving your videos as always!

[@AliHSyed]

Ahh this video was fantastic. Thanks man. The information you provide really demystifies the airline piloting experience.

[@keithmulcahy5252]

You have not aged in 6 years! Great videos!

[@Timpaaa2]

Yes! I have waited for this one and loved every second of it! Can't wait for the next one and I am also looking forward to the simulator video's (if you manage to get your hands on one of course). Thank you!

[@mugundhann5905]

Beautiful explanation captain

[@danielgriffin7150]

Hi Petter, I've shared you to my fellow aviator friends on FB, you deserve all the credit! Happy flying :D

[@Lloyd2605]

Very informative. Love the amount of technical information in this video. Great work mate.

[@RJ-rt1jp]

The best video you’ve ever done. More like this please

[@sevana.berwari7118]

Thank you very much dear cpt, I really like and appreciate what are you offering here.

[@STrader251]

Great video, very informative. Makes flying less nervous when you understand what goes on! Thanks !

[@stevokennedy2383]

Thank you so much for covering this captain I really appreciate it! ! I know you're really busy

[@Jablicek]

30cm clearance under the tail at take off? My respect for pilots grows, every day.

[@Repented008]

Ikr? It pisses me off to hear certain people remarking that pilots are glorified taxi drivers!

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

This is worst on the 737 because it was designed with half height landing gear compared to other mid weight narrow body jets in order to make manual cargo loading easy in remote secondary airports without lifts. (3.5 feet vs 7.5 feet ground to belly)

[@ronarnott1801]

just watched this. Very interesting and informative as to the rotation rate and the tail strike possibilities. thanks

[@padmarachuri1280]

Vow. Very interesting. I know nothing abt aviation but I could understand what u r saying. I really love the way u explain the technical aspects of flying.

[@wcarlhepker4806]

I appreciate knowing what is going on in the cockpit during the different phases of a flight. Thank you! Looking forward to the description of the climb and other descriptions to follow/ Thank you again!!

[@richc47us]

I get that about turning with the tiller...whether it's steering on the water or in your car. When I instruct people about steering in difficult situations in the car, I tell them to try to feel and imagine where the wheels are at all times.

[@kathy13volpe]

Demo this in a simulator or in real time please. This is awesome info! Thanks 🌻

[@michelebouvet8074]

Love it! Thank you🎉

[@sushrutdongargaonkar2073]

Oh, I absolutely like these kind of videos! Please send more technical info on our way!

[@sushrutdongargaonkar2073]

Thank you sir, have a great day you too!

[@wildzach]

I have ALWAYS wondered why the 737 NG's have a very distinctive spool up, then get silent for a second, before going to takeoff thrust. This video answered it perfectly and i can finally get some sleep!

[@dnbenr3090]

Cheers for the vid man 🛫💯

[@tarekragab5780]

Amazing vid i was kept checking everyday for a new one and there it was

[@mariebcfhs9491]

love your vids man

[@haroldminzani1012]

i feel airborne already ... well cool stuffs capt.

[@floriswilleboordse5869]

Great, great, great video's! Thank you so much for taking the effort to make such down to earth and intelligent video's. I'm sure your channel will take off soon to ;)

[@jonathanatuquayequaye1218]

i liked this video. Very educative . Keep up the good work

[@haroldmarks634]

Can you discuss long-haul over-water flying versus over land flights. How navigation and communication changes (if so) and how possible emergencies are planned for/addressed. If you’ve already commented on this please direct me to it.

[@davidsandell7833]

Fantastic video.

[@luer0211]

Great video once again!!

[@djSp00ky]

i thought the fadec would manage the rising n1 speed....another great one video well done sir ;)

[@phillipmckie4913]

As per the FCTM on the B 737NG. The PF keeps one hand on the throttles the the other on the control wheel until V1where both hands go on the control wheel. At V1 the high energy side is a commitment to flight.

[@raulflyeryt9856]

It is actually a very good video!! We, your subscribers, apreciate this type of videos, so I would like to watch a lot of them. Have a great day!! PD: I really want to know when is the landing gear down in a landing. Many people say that it is when you have the Glideslope captured and others say that it is when you are 6nm to the threshold.

[@jibeneyto91]

Loved it! I'd love more videos on handling characteristics! Upset recoviries for instance. For instance, could you talk about rudder-aileron crossover characterisitcs at high angles of attack? This was a problem with the Classic's, does it still affect the NG's?

[@franklinjackson7797]

Great videos

[@TheCaptainFer]

very good content. Keep it up!

[@adamlopes9883]

Wow, haven't seen an early Mentour video before. This level of detail and insight into actual flight procedures and practices is truly awesome. Please consider re-introducing this level of detail in current videos. Or is the point that I download the app?

[@agostonbazmajer1100]

Actually, there's more to it. He talked about this before in a livestream. His new videos reach a much wider audience and most of those people are not super hardcore avgeeks, most of them are just interested and want to hear about simple concepts in an easily digestable way. Back then, I think most people who watched the videos were flight simmers, hardcore enthusiasts, people who read the manuals for fun and want and can understand a more detailed, more technical video. So the newer ones are aimed towards a more broad audience.

[@ofdrobb]

Excellent! Do you have any videos on landing gear issues? I.E Not all landing gear are down?

[@robertrp3757]

I Love this KZbin Channel

[@MentourPilot]

Great to hear that my friend!

[@robertrp3757]

Mentour Pilot I wish I could re-learn to fly with you. You’d be at least a great tutor. LoL

[@ameerwali5846]

Great video as always :) I have a suggestion I hope you can talk about it, which is when you have engine failure at FL390 or FL380 for example. What procedures would take when you on this kind of situation?

[@marakidask89]

Really liked this video and would like to watch it also explained from inside of a simulator and actually see what really happens that time! An other good idea for videos would be how you handle faliures during take off or landing or during flight! Or recreate the circumstances of a flight that crushed or saved last momment and explain to us what happened there and if it could be avoided somehow! I've watched almost all crash investigation videos on youtube and then started to watch your channel (already watched 85% of your videos!) and other similar like captain Joe's channel to learn more interesting things about aviation as an enthusiast!! Sorry about the long comment but I'm really excited to watch this kind of videos, also like the one with Beatrice in the simulator! So if it's easy for you, more simulator videos please!!! Wish you the best!! Good morning from Greece (it's 9.35 now)! ☺☺

[@TinoDun101]

I Love This!

[@davidbeemon9053]

I loved this.

[@MrSandvik]

I imagine this question may already have been asked, but I would love your insight and advice on how to maintain runway direction and alignment after takeoff. It is so very easy to drift laterally from the runway.

[@mufeedfedho1637]

Hello capt. I appreciate all what you have been doing for me and the other pilots out there.i am about to start my b737-800 type rating and i have downloaded your app and it has been helpful so far.i would like to know about the glide range and if we would be trained for gliding with two engines inoperative. Thank you

[@photomakerman]

Awesome information. Would like more videos on various aircraft not just 737 :)

[@noahlukeryanlauzier9165]

First and thank you for the vid :)

[@osvaldorendallevora8215]

Excelente podcast.. I've always wanted to know the take off sequence narrated by a real pilot. Thank u. What abt now a podcast like this on landing.

[@TheXcaliber223]

Could you talk about engine compressor stalls and situations that could cause it and procedures that come after one, and the best possible route for aspiring pilots to take who are financially stressed.

[@BhanuBharathiCreations]

Thank you. Very informative video. How pilots are managing the fuel? eg: How much fuel need for each flight? Who decide it? How will confirm before take off you have enough fuel?

[@liamsandie]

I'm currently doing my MCC and JOC at Virtual Aviation in Cambridge. They have an excellent 737 800 sim with stunning visuals that you could consider using for your future videos maybe?

[@henrivanbemmel]

I am not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but when I flew in the 1970's the jetliners (707, DC-8, 747, DC10) would pause at the end of a runway and run up the engines with the brakes on before releasing them and making their run. From all the sims and videos that I see, this does not happen anymore. Pilots got to about 50% and ensure they are stabilized (if not they can easily stop) and then got to take off power and be on their way. My question is why the change? Is it just that the engines of today are (a) have much greater thrust (b) are controlled by computers and no manual stabilization by a flight engineer is required prior to take off? Thank you very much for all the outreach you do. I am sure you know how many people you have affected, but it is much appreciated by this soon to be retired physics teacher from Canada.

[@wiktoriaheinz9244]

Very good. Professional passenger, but know little or nothing on whats going on in the cockpit. Keep doing more pods please

[@nimaxwerker]

Can you explain the difference between an ILS-Y and a ILS-Z approach ?

[@GiulioBerti]

I like this! Please continue :) Could you mention also the two "wheels" rotating near the throttle? (i am not a student and I have no idea what they are used for)

[@HotDog12ist]

***** Thats the trim wheels

[@mcshiggitypilot5901]

I like it!

[@richc47us]

Question: In addition to beginning the roll up with thrust at 40%, isn't a time for the pilots to notice any abnormal engine vibrations and conditions before fully engaging thrust levers?

[@neiswestnij]

I've been wondering what is that second "harder" push upwards when sitting as passenger during the take off. It's because of the angle of attack optimisation for the stabiliser. Thanks for explanation

[@jivadaya6439]

Superb :)

[@alanrogers7090]

Hi, hope you're doing well. Can you tell me what are those little cone things behind the tails of some aircraft? Antennas?

[@dominikhurmann]

Second to tell you you're the best

[@oxygen111mtl]

Hello Mentour. Forgive me if you have previously answered this topic. I am curious how cargo and passengers are coordinated to balance a flight, what devices secure cargo on a passenger flight, and what measures can be taken should these fail and cargo breaks loose?

[@jackgately7992]

CAN YOU PLEASE TALK ABOUT LANDING GEAR FAILURE AND BELLY LANDING? Thank you mentour

[@DB-thats-me]

I spent a few hours watching jet takeoffs at CHC NZ. Q; Before Vr, are the wings producing lift or do they need the chance in AoA to begin ‘flying’?

[@richc47us]

Question: Can you hear the engine speeds differing from one another by the acoustical beats created between them when they are in not in sync?

[@timothystoutland6961]

Are records kept in regards to hard landings the airplane experiences? I mean like landings that don't show damage yet may have over stressed the airplane.

[@davilor79]

Hello captain. Sorry about my english. How you know if the speed and the power is according with the position of the plane in the runway. Thank you

[@galinstan5603]

Mentour Pilot, given that only the captain has a tiller, how does the FO get taxi experience?

[@PPC4]

When you say airlines have different SOP's do you mean different aircraft or the actual airline. Would the procedure not be dictated by the aircraft as isn't this integral to a type rating?

[@meinefresse94]

One question: Until takeoff thrust is set, what keeps the plane from accelerating? is it just the brakes on the wheels? I mean between the engines are stabilized at 40% and the takoff thrust.

[@timw2498]

Your English is superb...ish. 😀

[@Biggles2498]

These are superb videos however Captain please try to reply to your questions Sir !

[@davidsandell7833]

What is the altitude clearance requirement in level flight in the airlines. I was flying with an airline recently and the Captain said they were flying at +/- 3in. This seems pretty tight.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

When you swing the nose around to face upwind and you are handing her over, is there a verbal command or acknowledgement of the FO is taking over? Back when I was taking lessons, when ever I would want the instructor to take control, I would say, "Take Airplane" and he would answer, "My airplane" or"I have the airplane" and I would respond "Confirm you're airplane." So there would actually three things said: "Take airplane, my airplane, confirm your airplane" and that would be that, no doubt who had the yoke. My main instructor and I flew one afternoon for close to two hours and all we did between stalls, recovery practices, and touch-n-goes would be practice intercom calls. I have no desire to fly for a living, but I like to sound as professional as possible so when I fly in Class C or B airspace, I sound like I know what I am doing.

[@WoodyGamesUK]

When you pull the yoke, you increase the pitch rotation speed. Does it mean that if you pull the yoke then hold it in that position, the nose will keep going up at a certain speed, and if at a certain pitch angle you move back the yoke to its neutral position, the plane will maintain that angle? In other words, having the yoke in the neutral position doesn't mean that you flight at a constant altitude (horizontal), but that you keep your pitch rotation constant (whether it is nose up, nose down, or horizontal). Is that correct?

[@sas9702]

Have you ever experienced real life emergency on board ( not in a simulator) and what was it/were they? P.S. When is the ign switch moved from cont to off after you have started the engines? at reaching cruise level or?

[@maroon9980]

Hello Mentour! I have heard from another real 737 pilot, that the "Stabilised" callout during the takeoff after setting the thrust to 40 percent should only be called when the EGT reduces a little bit. Why is that? Different company procedures?

[@IamSpartacus1984]

Brilliant. I thought that the take off was the easy part. Apparently not. lol

[@pabloelsur1624]

Peter, I would like to know how to LAND :)

[@rha1978]

Hello :) , often when the Aircraft is touching down, and all weels are on the ground, there is often a sound like this: Thump thump tum thump or like this: slam slam slam.. It is cind of when you are driving a car, and you are approacting an intersection and the asfalt is painted with thikk white lines, or its like you drive over Cattle guard.. I no that the runway has grooves to help with the water drain, but for me, this sounds are much more hard/«violent» than I expekt Those grooves to make.. where is that sound comming from, What is it? Tanks so much for your videos.. Tusen takk for dine videoer, er du Norsk , Svensk elle Dansk.. Har lurt en stund nå he he:)

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Do pilots fly more than one type of plane?☺

[@cliffordbodine5834]

Very interesting, even from a layman's perspective.

[@charlesbowman4316]

Clifford Bodine uuu

[@rusupersic]

In a short-haul flight, how much a plane is going to climb?

[@flyingfools47]

What do you do if there is a tail strike?

[@kilik92]

hi! Can you make a video on engine failure, procedures and how the aircraft will behave after lets say a enginefailure right after v1

[@kilik92]

***** Oh, sorry! Must have overlooked that video, thanks! :) Keep up the good work, i really enjoy the videos.

[@calummacdonald1230]

When Taxiing to the runway is thrust from the engines being used or are the wheels spinning to make it move?

[@dalewong7643]

Calum MacDonald From the engines which pushes the aircraft

[@gaz0463]

I’d like to know what the buzzing or vibration you hear on takeoff and climbing is? Is it just vibrations from the engines being at full power and can these vibrations lead to stress fractures in the airframe?

[@Capt.Rankin]

Gaz Pyrotechnics Did you get your answer yet?

[@xxxxxGhostBoyxxxxx]

I like Boeing for the sake of flying and having ultimate control over the aircraft. However, certain features like "foldable table" in the cockpit do make me jealous of an Airbus pilot. Can you share some mitigation features in an Airbus to mitigate pilot errors. We all made mistakes sometimes, but unable to override computer system at critical times sounds a complete turned off for me.

[@zeehanzubair9604]

Im wondering whether watching youtube for long is bad for the eyes or not, considering Im going to start my flight school hopefully after the pandemic
