A New Pilot Makes His First Ever Flight With Passengers! | EasyJet: Inside The Cockpit | ITV

[@JoseJimenez-uu5fw]

I like how calm and composed the captain was when he told the copilot he had to take control.

[@die_moehre5658]

Yeah that was nice. He probably saw it coming but wanted to give him a chance. But it's crazy how he managed to save the landing within the last 10 feet.

[@DogeGames1]

both pilots can steer the plane at the same time with a joystick, so the pilot could already make the corrections and help him while he's flying, there is a red button on the joystick when he wants the plane to ignore input of the co pilot he presses it and the plane only listens to his input. Very easy to save the landing in that way :)

[@pedrobarriga8141]

It should be always like that encourage not criticize

[@NikolaDimitriev-q7y]

He has done that literally thousands of times. Most airline pilots first build hours as Certified Flight Instructors and a CFI for commercial jets must have trained many PPL pilots, as well. Also the narrator added extra drama (that is his job), but a little bit of nose-high attitude at 10ft could have made the landing a bit harder. That's all. There wasn't any danger.

[@ThePixelbuilder]

@@DogeGames1 that is partly correct. On those landings the captain will never make "small hidden corrections" he will only take over as he did. Also if he would made corrections we would hear "dual input". In the end he just made sure that he got full control while taking over pressing the "priority left" button. Otherwise both inputs from the sidestick would sum up end ;)

At 14 I can start Cessna training and then move on to Small haul airliners once at 16. I hope I become a good pilot, only bad thing I'm worried about is the price since it is extremely expensive.

[@callank]

for anyone scared of flying, I just wanted to say that the pilots and flight crew are trained for any situation possibly that could go wrong, I'm serious. If you are maybe scared of turbulence, just remember how calm the pilots are during turbulence, I've seen this video of a pilot in pretty bad turbulence. As soon as the camera went into the cockpit, the pilot was reading the newspaper! remember that going on a flight is actually safer than getting into a bath! Also driving to the airport is far more dangerous. Aircraft are nowadays tested to the limits, for example you know when your maybe scared when the wings are flexing? the 787 dreamliner's wings can flex over 7 meters. flying is perfectly safe and one of the most popular and quick ways to travel today.

[@hazel-vf7on]

The only experience I have with a commercial airliner was a very good one. I highly doubt pilots will allow the situation to go to the worst case immediately. I've never been scared of flying, despite me being afraid of actual heights lol.

Think you're misunderstanding the point of a line trainer. EasyJet certainly doesn't care about the cost of go arounds, they want their pilots up to standard. A line trainer taking over from a cadet at 50ft isn't to save money it's to maintain safety whilst delivering top notch training.

[@martinchandler71]

Being a pilot, recreationally or as a pro, If you think you have it nailed, then you're going do have a bad day one day. It requires 100 percent commitment always. Experience will be paramount. Discipline, confidence and a positive character is required. Communication and teamwork. Dealing with multiple situations not just in the air, but on the ground. Commercial considerations, timings, MELs weather, to name a few. Forward planning. Fitness, diet, sleep. The responsibility is immense. But to fly anything successfully and in a safe and proficient manner, is one of the most rewarding experiences in life.

I had something thrown at me the other day from the person showing me the ropes! Disgusting behaviour aside it's not conducive of a learning environment.

[@justinwilcox6853]

As a student pilot nearing completion with my solo done, I have to say…on final approach things do happen very quickly and you do realize you are not in a video game anymore. But that’s what drives us as pilots, getting you to your destination very quickly in spite of how unrealistic it can feel in the simulator. In the real world with my flight instructor, I constantly go over what I did wrong, and how I can improve my aiming point focus on landing. The A320 is an amazing plane, and when starting on the jet with an airline, the training captain is your best friend in learning how to adapt to flying a jet when starting with an airline. I cry often with tears of amazement and joy in regard to the engineering is that goes into manufacturing airplanes. Hopefully, this video can ease some anxieties about flying and how pilots act during final approaches to your destination. A training captain starting with an airline is someone to look up to and learn from.

[@kasperkainulainen8776]

How long have you trained for, and how old are you? If you don't mind me asking, thinking of getting into the aviation business myself.

[@JamieEmmons]

even if you are 50 you can still start@@kasperkainulainen8776

[@onebravotango]

The A320 is an incredible aircraft, and it's great to hear that you're excited about starting your journey with an airline. Having a training captain by your side is invaluable. They're like mentors guiding us through the complexities of flying a jet. The aviation world is a fascinating place, and the engineering behind these airplanes is mind-boggling. Keep your passion alive, and those tears of amazement and joy will continue to flow as you progress in your aviation career. Best of luck with your training and future flights! ✈

[@jakehardy5997]

@@kasperkainulainen8776it's pretty pricey and a long process. If you're working a job and able to fly twice a week, youre looking at around 2.5-3years to get your flight instructor and then an extra year if you're able to fly 100 hours a month teaching. I would say 4 years is on par and around $40k-$70k depending on school/rental cost

The most terrifying time is just before the first solo on a single piston, when the instructor says "I am getting off. Go ahead and make 2 circuits and then come for debriefing after you park". Once lined on the runway for departure on the actual solo flight the fear goes away, because the student is too busy.
