As a dispatcher, I have to say that this was a very comprehensive explanation. I'd recommend releasing a video for the remaining pages of the OFP since it will give everyone an appreciation of the vast amounts of information at the fingertips of a pilot.

[@Vivekaryayoutube]

Hi, i need to know something related to flight dispatch..can you help me? How can I contact you.

[@militaryav8r]

Absolutely... a follow-up OFP video would be greatly appreciated!

[@AllanRoberto2711]

Hello, Emilie!

[@projectbluemartin7532]

yo😎😎😎

[@Garythefireman66]

My brain just exploded 🤯. This was like 4 years of college in 15 minutes. Really interesting video.

Exactly! Any time I even remotely think of what it would be like to be a pilot, I am reminded of everything I saw in videos by Captain Joe or Mentour Pilot and I just can't comprehend how a human being is able not just to learn all that, but actually to be "fluent" in it to the point they can understand and evaluate everything on the fly and make quick decisions. Every new video adds a new layer of "wow, they also need to know this and that..." and it just never seems to stop! I have a great respect for every pilot!

[@DragonX2X7]

@ Takes practise, if you see it everyday and study it, sooner or later you will "get it" since they are relatively the same. The numbers may defer but the "type of info" are the same, for example Trip Fuel will always be trip fuel. Pilots are supposed to do these (a simpler version) every time they go flying (when learning how to fly) and do more just to practise it. Just "create" your own flight plan or draw a line linking 2 places then calculate the distance between them, get an actual weather of the day for said location and do up the flight plan. Very soon it becomes 2nd nature. Most of the stuff mentioned in the video will be taught during the student pilot phrase and you will be rather good at it by the time you are ready for a private pilot license. Airlines "type" just have some additional stuff to it.

@@DragonX2X7 It's not just that, though. You need to master meteorology, aerodynamics, know the inner workings of the engine, the millions of systems the plane has, the procedures, the communication with ATC, and OH SO MUCH MORE!

[@DragonX2X7]

@ ​ hehehe, yep I know. I wouldn't use the word "master" but "know enough" about those topics. Not to mention all the air laws, cloud separations in different aerodrome, etc (Class A, B, C, D, G, etc). Private pilot license itself have a book of about 200 (or more? can't remember) pages to read/study/know, Commercial Pilot license would be another 7 books (and test) for Australia and 14 books in the EU. The passing mark is 70% for all and 80% on Air Law (in Aus, though I expect the same for others due ICAO). Even after passing them, the result will give you a very brief mention on the topic that you got wrong. On the day of the flight test, the tester will look at those theory and verbally question you on those that you got wrong (thus "100%") then ask you a few questions about those you got it right. After clearing that verbal theory session, you go flying and get tested on it. It is a grind, a full time zero to commercial license takes about 1.5 years to complete on average (realistically the median is about 1.5-2 years), after which you would want to go for a multi engine rating, command instrument rating, to be able to fly multi engine planes in "cloud" condition (IMC). Airlines would want multi crew license, another 7 books/test (more in depth) for ATPL (airline transport pilot licence) for Aus (same passing mark as before) and 14 for EU just to start off. It's hard but not impossible as many have done and proven. All that for the sweet sweet love of flying, worth it in my opinion. :) Flying for "fun" would require much less, just a private license is good enough, ain't too hard to achieve.

[@emotionaloveracorolla5274]

Can you do a video explaining the pros and cons of unpressurized planes, like the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan

[@killerdoxen]

An unpressurised plane weighs less, dare say it costs less, less maintainance. But you are limited with the maximum altitude without supplementary oxygen. Anything over 10,000ft has a higher risk of hypoxia.

In the moment of go around at alternate in tanks should be FR fuel in this case not less than 4269 and FUEL MAYDAY

[@lukasm1293]

It might be more, in case you don't wait until the last minute and have some of your contingency or extra fuel (if any) left when diverting. But if you have left exactly the amount stated in the "FMC" column, that will be exactly the FR fuel remaining when initiating the go around.

[@dawidrodak8181]

@@lukasm1293 Hey, I know that, that's why I wrote no less than. Theoretically yes, but the rules are clear to avoid such considerations. In this case, we do not have extra fuel and we do not know if contingency has been used and we do not know if we will wait until the last minute, so I assume the worst case scenario that we only have FR fuel.
