Learn To handle A Boeing 737 in severe crosswind. Takeoff

[@craigjones1939]

This video! This video, right here, is why you are amazing!! Thank you for your extremely detailed and professional explanations of ...well...every single part of whatever you are teaching at the moment. Again, I wish you were my pilot on every flight! ;-) Kudos, brother!!

[@MentourPilot]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! It means a lot to me to hear.

@@MentourPilot can you plz do a video on what those pods are for on top of the fusalage, i have no idea what they for why they need to be external to the aircraft?

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

Boris V Spider those pods on top of the fuselage near the aft section is where the satellite dishes are. These dishes provide something called kA band and ku band frequency which has the same broadband speed as your 3G and 4G network. They are synonymous with their large hump and can easily be recognisable.

I got 80% on the quiz but I'm not studying to be a pilot. I like to know as many details of flight as possible when I'm a passenger. Knowledge is power and it helps to alleviate some fear to flying as well.

[@GlennDavey]

14:12 I'm sorry, I know piloting isn't a spectator sport but as both airline passenger and flight simmer, watching you do this is like watching a cool guitar solo or something. It's beautiful.

Captain you are an amazing flyer . This is from me a B787 examiner with 22000 hours of flying experience. Keep up the great work 👍

[@dgnz7628]

As a child it was my dream to fly and I always thought I’d be a commercial pilot. I stopped my training after obtaining a private license to pursue a corporate career which I don’t regret. With that said, I still love flying and appreciate the insight from such a competent and passionate pilot. Thanks for everything you do for your channel, Mentour!

[@markfromtexas9810]

That is actually pretty smart if you do what you are passionate about as a job it can become monotonous.

[@Willzyx88]

12/15 - 80%. Confidence inspiring. Zero flying hours but I know how to taxi, increase thrust, rotate, gear-up, bug-up, adjust flaps, and switch on autopilot. I think. That would make for a bad captain's announcement. Haha. I'll leave the flying to the experts. But I would love to try a simulator.

[@reconx86]

8:18 The guy is talking to us like we are about to step in actual 737 and take off, at least will have more backup pilots onboard ;p

[@LemonChieff]

"Zero flying hours but I know how to taxi, increase thrust, rotate, gear-up, bug-up, adjust flaps, and switch on autopilot." So you're an Airbus pilot? 😏

[@nobaddaystravel6855]

I live in Lubbock Texas and our airport is a popular spot for aircraft to come practice crosswind take offs and landings. In fact Boeing has brought their 737-800 Max and they’d 787 Dreamliner here to test against our winds. Some days they can blow 30 knots and gust up to 50-70 knots. They cancel flights on the 50-60 knot wind days. But a normal day here has around here 10-20 knot wind.

[@cnordegren]

[@MentourPilot]

Thank you! Glad you liked it! How did the exam go?

[@larsw8776]

Yay, I just passed the exam with 15/15! I'm a bit too short sighted for ever obtaining an ATPL, but I'm an avid sim pilot instead. And that's also thanks to your awesome videos. I learnt something new again and now I can't wait for a bit of crosswind in my next sim session. Cheers!

[@therickson100]

As a private pilot with less than 200 hours flying Cessna 172s and Cherokee 140s, I can really see how nice it'd be to have a co-pilot. Just having someone to call "Speed Check" when raising or lowering the flaps or calling out "VR"would be great.

[@sauledainiene2519]

Just wanted to thank you for your videos! I’m a nervous traveler and I find them extremely helpful to look at things from the pilot perspective. Yesterday our plane after aborting first landing attempt successfully did that in second go. In the raging winds of the storm Eunice. I thanked the pilot and I thank you for the professional and awesome job you do. And I always remember-have a FANTASTIC DAY 😊

The weathervaning is something I had heard about ages ago but had forgotten about, but have experienced regularly when I fly in X Plane (the aircraft turning into the wind on takeoff in a crosswind). The assumed temp on derate is still something I am trying to learn for 737 (the 767 seems to automatically derate based on OAT). Airbus just calculates it for you automatically on the A320s. I am just a lowly simulator pilot, but still enjoy trying to make the experience as realistic as I can get, and I have fairly accurately modeled versions of the 737-800, A319, and 767-300 in X Plane.

[@SimonSNB]

While in the simulator, are you allowed to experiment with deviation from SOPs? It would be fascinating to see why some procedures are mandated by experiencing the consequences of alternate ideas - with viewers watching, of course.

[@kingswaydriving-richardkin9741]

I just did my first cross-wind (winch) TO in a glider... No power-setting to worry about, but still a bit scary. Just as in this video, a LOT of aileron was needed to keep the wings level - and a gliders wings are both long, and near to the ground! Flying is not as easy as it looks!

[@witwisniewski2280]

Thank you for your diligent presentation of details. Would you please comment on small airplane techniques that are apparently not applicable to the NG? In mind are taking off in a slip such that the airplane rolls and then flies down the center line while also pointed straight down the runway - contrary to the video showing a plane crabbing severely while still somewhat supported by the wheels. Also, one can clear the ground rapidly and positively by holding the aircraft down on the runway to a higher rotation speed. The wings produce plentiful lift at higher speed without the need for a high AOA helping avoid tail strike.

[@eliaskount9610]

Absolutely fantastic as always. Could you please cover the landing gears and tyres? They seem to take serious loads while crabbing on crosswind takeoffs and landings. What are their limits? Specifications of design and operation? Thank you in advance for the top quality content.

Nice !! In a piper .. it’s opposite to a airliner .. deflection of aileron into wind is highest at beginning and as we speed up slowly neutralise the aileron

examen: 67% 😩 good that I am only a passenger 😂. But I loved the video, now I understand even more why the airplanes "behave" so differently at take-offs, because different conditions requires quite different actions. By the way: the roughest landing in my life was in a Ryanair 737, and the softest landing ever, extremly soft where I didn't notice the touch down at all, was a Ryanair 737 too. Looking forward to my 5th flight this year @Mentour "s airline" in 4 weeks!

9:00 I am suprised you teach this since you don’t get the ground spoilers up, only flight spoilers which doesn’t increase drag that significantly, I have been taught that you use as much as you need as the performance is not an issue. With 35 knots 1,5 degrees is not enough to me, the airplane starts tilting too much

I have always assumed that Cross Wind landings are more dangerous and harder to handle than the CW take offs. Is it thrue? And it also look a bit odd when aircrafts stear hard to one side even before taking off or just before landing - How much can the landing gear take when it come to those kind of forces? I assume it is a limit on how much force the landing gear can take? Johan.

Do pilots train this in the simulator regularely? Because this seems to be something you can't master with just the therory...

[@EinkOLED]

Pilots learn how to takeoff in a crosswind very early on during their PPL training and the multi engine rating. And then they can apply that to the 737 once they get a feel for the aircraft.

[@hhanger1]

@@EinkOLED exactly. I learned within the first couple of lessons. It's really not that hard. Kinda like walking and chewing gum at the same time. Of course, I rotate at 60 knots and they are rotating at 120 knots or so but the concept is the same. Landing in a crosswind is much more challenging and you have to be aware of the crosswind component limitations of your particular aircraft. I have had to divert on a sunny day when the wind was out of an unusual direction that exceeded the CWC of my plane.

[@CMDRSweeper]

Awwww, almost there... I got 94% but failed on the pillow question :P It was correct from my perspective as the question didn't specify Mentour's point of view, but the rest and the technical stuff was dead on, even my assumed Quiz answer to the Social media one.
