WHAT'S In MY FLIGHTBAG? - Airline Pilot Flightbag Life

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Nice one Michelle ;) Great tip on the sewing kit, need to add that to my pilots bag ;) Hope to see you soon! Greetings from EDDM!

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Captain Joe Hey Joe! Yeah, I put it in there out of experience😜 Of course I'll see you very soon! Can't wait! Greetings from EHAM ✈️

[@matthewkearney833]

Captain Joe just want to wish you the best with what’s happening with your airline in the next few turbulent days. I hope you can find a new airline. Good luck!

[@abulhasan9258]

oohoh ! here's come the captain joe ////

Things I found useful to lug around in my flight bag - a lot of cheap pens and golf course pencils from various hotels....not for me but for cabin staff who lend them out to pax to use in filling out documents or crossword puzzles etc. Small micro-fiber cleaning cloth for glasses and EFB. I also carry a small legal note pad with the tear-off pages in case I have to write a note to FAs.-I do like your notebook idea though for your needs. I also have 12 inch zip-ties (the things used to bundle electrical cables) that are very useful for temporary repairs to suitcases and such. Since I fly for a large US carrier I have small pad of Post-It notes I use to write the name of the cabin staff and FO, flight info on & stick it on the panel for very quick reference which saves me from fumbling PA announcements or on the inter-phone. Spare ID lanyards, sun glass straps, a few band-aids, small address book for noting resturants/stores by city.....spare wings/nameplate/shoulder boards.

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Tim OL Very nice to read Tim!

[@mrjaycam7086]

The fiber cleaning cloth is beyond clutch great advice.

[@johnburgess2084]

And in a pinch, you can use the zip ties to fix broken things on the plane.

[@Terminator2310]

Thanks Michelle, if you ever wondered how the Hi-Vis jackets came about, a boring story for you... I originally recommended that colour to be used for safety jackets having seen research done by Lancaster University, UK into possibly changing the colour of fire engines in the UK from red into another colour to be more noticeable. The fire service stayed with the red and safety jackets at that time were usually a dayglo orange that you couldn't see under sodium lighting. I saw the yellow/lime colour stood out more under most types of lighting, and voila, the safety jacket was born...

[@808reggiecchong2]

Love how expressive she is Makes it a joy to watch her videos

[@serenityinside1]

And me too !

[@stephenstough850]

Passport, backup torch (flashlight), iPad (for approach charts), mobile device backup battery, miniature flight crew log (I transfer the data into my actual logbook once I get back home so that I never take the risk that my logbook gets stolen), sunglasses, lots of pens, paper charts as a backup to the electronics, spare Garmin GNS-430 Data Card, spreadsheet containing all the airport gate codes for every place I have been, mobile phone, aspirin (for emergency in case of heart problems at altitude), kneeboard, spare cockpit checklist, small pads of paper, hair comb(s) (I always seem to lose them), kitchen sized plastic trash bags, microfibre lens cloth, small plastic food bags, lots of coins that I get in change, FitBit charger, spare miniature bottles of shampoo from hotel rooms in sealed plastic bag, spare car key, spare aircraft key, piece of black cloth to put on top of glare shields if the glare shield has lost a lot of its black paint.

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Stephen Stough Wauw! Very nice Stephen :-)

[@matthewkearney833]

Mentour pilot mentioned a nasal spray as well in case you have a cold or blocked sinuses etc.

[@colmortimer1066]

Not exactly the topic of this video, but I love the candle set shaped like a pool rack and balls. :)

[@finleyjude5392]

Hoi, Ik wil heel erg beginnen met mijn ppl studie en daarna nog hopelijk een cpl studie doen. Ik ben nu 15 dus nog een jaartje wachten. U inspireert mij om een piloot te worden en u geeft mij altijd motivatie om te vliegen . Dank u wel voor wie u bent !

[@williamdonly7966]

Well done Michelle. What an educated video Now we all know what a pilot has to take with them to work.

[@jpisokofnee]

Wat een leuke filmpjes maak je. Informatief, vrolijk, gezellig. Leuk om te zien hoe pilot-life eigenlijk is. Huis mooi ingericht by the way. Have safe flights 😊🍀

[@CrazyArcher2160]

1:36 I carry a good old Casio as well, and I'm just an engineer. Phone calculators are trash, real calculators are for getting real things done!

[@robertgutheridge9672]

I was 15 tango air crew chief on a black hawk. And calculator is definitely important. As part of my job was calculating total cargo weight and fuel. With air temp and density. Since the black hawk can mid air refuel it's common to take off with a light fuel load then top up once airborne.

[@randycarter2001]

Cockpits are very dirty due to the limited number of personnel allowed in. So the only cleaning that gets done is either by maintenance personnel that know how to operate the switches or the pilots. The regular between flight cabin cleaning doesn't include the cockpit.

[@Suburp212]

4:04. Quick hint, call that sewing kit a "sowing" kit instead if a "sueing" kit, since you are not going to court.

[@fsxaviator3866]

My flightbag has my own HIV Vest, Airline’s HIV Vest, Pilot License, Company ID, Passport, Citizenship ID, walk around gloves (touching tires to check pressure with them), flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, glasses, laptop, IPad, folders, papers, notepad and a few more!

[@OninDynamics]

What about a picture of Captain Joe?

[@noormuhd8215]

Lol.That should be on her pre-flight checklist

[@karimmifflin1507]

lol

[@urbana7547]

[@VulcanOnWheels]

I seem to remember hearing that Captain Joe is not the lucky stiff she has a relationship with.

[@OninDynamics]

oh god now i cringe at this comment

[@mateussleme]

How can someone dislike this video

[@zutrue]

Jealousy...maybe.

[@californiahiker9616]

There are dislikes on every video out there. Too bad.

[@bobcole612]

My typical load out: David Clark H10-30 with active noise canceling conversion. Older Flightcom backup headset Two iPad minis (primary and backup) running WingX. RAM iPad yoke mount Yaesu FTA-450 Comm Radio Baofeng UV5R Ham Radio (yes, I am a licensed ham operator) Stratux ADS-B receiver 2 20,000 mAh batteries 2 Chem-Lights Extra power cords Yaesu headset adapter Mini Maglite with red lens Foggles Oakley Fuze prescription sunglasses 2 granola bars Bottle of water Leatherman ASA trifold kneeboard Hard copy sectional and low altitude enroute charts and approach plates (not current ones, just as a backup to my EFB iPads) I don't carry my logbook unless I need a sign off (like my recent flight review). I carry the summary page and last page from Logbook Pro, then enter it into my hard copy book when I get home. All packed in an LA Police Gear Jumbo Bailout Bag (at $37.99, tougher and less expensive than any "flight bag" I've ever seen. Really good video, and you've given me some ideas about things I might add to my bag.

[@mangoking787]

Hello Michelle, haven't seen this video before. I just noticed you produced this video 6 years ago. I wasn't born then. I love to see your videos.

[@mrjaycam7086]

Hello Michelle ; Thank You for sharing your flightbag video with us. I wish You have nice and enjoyable flights.

[@kentbrookman]

Nice your bag made it that long. Already broke two Gleim bags. One from my private, one from my instrument package. Zipper ripped open.

[@026216lggman]

Love your videos! Information is everything to an aspiring pilot! Only recently I’ve subscribed and been catching up on your past ones. Informative and classy. Keep up the great work! Btw, I noticed you didn’t include a wiz wheel for your flight bag. I always bring mine along. Not required but I like to use it when possible to keep me sharp with its redundancy as a backup. Am I a dying breed? 🤓

[@ericlanegen]

I have the flight bag now. Guess I better take good care of it because it’s seems it might be good in the future

[@OlivierDaemsD5]

Nice and useful info video (also for a PPL student)! Hey...and good you mention the toothbrush in de video info 😁

[@leon13936]

Loved the video Michelle 😎

[@DutchPilotGirl]

[@alancure8841]

Well organised bag 👍✈️🕺😊

[@cobosenriquez]

Love the video, interesting, informative and a plus a beautiful pilot to explain it, what else can you ask for!...

[@EveryTipeOfVideo]

Pause instantly at 3:06 You can see she works for Alba Star if anyones wondering.

[@JoaoFreitas-kl7rj]

Very Nice Flightbag!!

[@yazangates7460]

always helping !! thanks for all of your videos

[@marciosammarcoch.7136]

In Brazil ,we think the flight path is the God, but the flight monitoring is justs a regular person!!!

[@salvadorhirth1641]

I like so much to watch your videos! I think you should carry at least one copy of every chart, ( ah, you have an iPad already! ) and a LED flashlight ( ah, you have one already!) . I know it's almost impossible that a major problem would make the FMC unusable, but you know that old saying: better safe than sorry! :-)

[@ssemuddusaul9481]

Its awesome and amazing how i wish you make it to Entebbe Airport Uganda am ready to watch the experience long live Michelle

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I'm completely impressed with your videos along with Mentour Pilot and Captain Joe. It is nice to see. With professionals like yourself, I think we old guys will be taken care of. My initial thought when I started viewing one of Mentour Pilot's videos was that of skepticism or sarcasm but quickly realize that even the best actor couldn't remember all the terminology and then what all those terms and phrases meant! I have learned a couple things and a lot of stuff I have not seen since flight school and ground school back in 2000!

[@michaelking3327]

fyi, you can't use just any sunglasses, polarized lens sunglasses are banned for pilots because you can't read the displays while wearing them

[@allenmurray7893]

Thanks for the info, Michele.

[@dheyes803]

Heck, I always carry a flashlight wherever I go. You’ve now piqued my interest. What in the world would make the cockpit so gross? It seems that the cockpit would get a good cleaning whenever the jet goes in for maintenance. ✈️🤧🤢

[@rollingstone3652]

Hehe. No Guy would ever be professional enough to have a sewing kit, or wipedowns. :) I think you forgot the Cuban Cigars.

[@markjones2291]

You are a super sweet lady and very personable. Thanks, as always, for the great videos.

[@ib9512]

Je haar is zo mooi😍😍😍

[@twitchclips-d5o]

I have the same bag!!!!!!! I'm 14 and started my flight trainig six months

[@ldl9280]

Bravo Zulu, Michelle.I have just subscribed and am just getting to view your videos and read your articles.Thank you for sharing. Your presentations are light, joyful and pleasant grounded in knowledge and wisdom you are acquiring in your aviation career. I am in contact with some Young Eagles here in Philadelphia PA USA, and want the girls, particularly, working towards their wings to subscribe to your channel. It is good idea for them to see an attractive and very personable professional doing what is their intended goal: a professional pilot. Essentially you would be mentoring them remotely.As someone posted the sewing kit is a great idea. Thank you again.Don

[@ilearn4538]

I would like to know if the flashlight doesn't have any effect on the airplane. Because the usually said that passenger don't suppose to flight with stuff that contain higher intensity battery.

[@Overlanding_Exploring]

So now we know what DPG has in her Flightbag, we already know what Mentour and CJ have in their Flightbags. Whats about S1K and FC ? Pls guys tell us. :-)

[@hani2729]

I think the missing is the one that u put one ur ears that looks like headphones 🎧 to not damage ur ear when u r checking the plane ✈️ hope that was useful p.s. love ur vids keep up 😊😊

[@acodike]

I just fell in love

[@rbagusteca818]

Me too bro

[@SuperAirplanemaster]

Great video very informative for the flashlight do I need special Aviation one when I do my night flight

Hey nice video.what company do u work for now

Hi DPG. where are you packing the billiard cues?

Hello michellei think of you and what I do think of you I think of you as a smart pilot Dutch at that and you are very smart you are so smart and you're so lovely in your soul young at heart, I love what you are, thank you, Mike

[@robertgutheridge9672]

As former military aircrew I would say you forgot fire proof flight gloves. Although I don't know if civil pilots normally wear gloves.

[@clumsydins9771]

you impress me. thanks alot

[@jarnodebauw6249]

Hi Michelle! I am currently studying for pilot in Belgium but I have a question about the flashlight. Do you recommend a specific flashlight? Or could you tell me where I can find the same flashlight as you because it seems very good :)

[@josejr.canillas7704]

Nice & beautiful video.I love it.

why do you have a set of pool balls in a triangle behind you on the table ?

[@uzaiyaro]

(There’s a question in here, too. Bear with me!) Hi, I’m brand new to this channel, I’ve basically finished all of Captain Joe and Mentour’s video’s up to this point! I’m guessing the iPad is for your EFB? I’m actually trying this out myself, I’ve downloaded an EFB called OzRunways (or OZ RWY whatever), should give you a hint as to where I’m from! And I’m trying it out. The first thing that struck me is that there are a good couple hundred databases to download! So many that my family complained about the internet connection while I was pulling 6 or 7MB/s for nearly an hour... but the nice thing about this EFB in particular it seems, is that you can use it on the iPhone - as I don’t yet have an iPad. Yes, I activated a 30 day trial just because I was bored. But I found out that I live within a few kilometres of the BURPA waypoint so I answered a 20-year-old question of why I seem to be directly under a flight path. Seems to be one of the approaches into YBBN, which funnily enough, has a new runway being built, so it looks like we’re gonna have PRM or even SOIA approaches soon - if we haven’t got them already! I’ve never been witness to such an approach into the airport though. Might look that up in the EFB, why not... also no I do not mind people knowing where my local waypoint is because “within a few kilometres” encompasses several thousand addresses. :P Question about this, though. I actually know where this waypoint is - it’s on a local college campus and you can simply walk around the buildings - I used t study IT there, and there is nothing to do with aeronautics whatsoever. The waypoint is also directly behind a highway I use almost every day! If I go and actually look for this waypoint - will I actually find anything physical? Will there be some form of VOR/DME or NDB antenna there? It seems a bit small for a VOR/DME antenna array but it would be interesting if there was an NDB beacon there. Will I find anything, of are these waypoints literally just dots on a map and nothing more? Sorry to ramble on, hah. Quite the first few videos so far!

[@michaelstallone1600]

Well done

[@roshaan2411]

A Neepad,pen, check list 😁 it's what i carry to the plane 😎

[@EduardoFGomez-kc7gr]

which brand is your suitcase?

Funny, would think they clean the cockpit, but they really dont do that in the back. Thanks

[@VulcanOnWheels]

0:36 It looks decent enough to me. 0:42 Yep! She's a Dutchie OK! :-) 1:34 Now you made me wonder what kind of calculations you do on your calculator, because...you use an iPhone, right? I know what calculators you have on there. Even a scientific one, if with smaller buttons. 4:39 You don't have everything on your iPad then? It would save on paper.

[@n-i-c5800]

What's the brand and model of your bag?

[@jamesdunn3864]

I wondered whether you would take disposable gloves with you for the walk around? Touching various parts of the aircraft can make your hands really dirty.

[@dcxplant]

Headset & batteries (active noise canceling), external extra iPad/laptop battery, two pair glasses, two pair sunglasses (Rayban folding Wafarers one polarized and one not polarized, and a pair of Persol folders, yes, I like sunglasses., brown lenses for me...) iPad, laptop, 3 chargers, 10 foot charging cables (hotels many times have plugs in inconvenient places, a compliment of pens/sharpies/highlighters, clipboard, ruler, breath mints, hand wipes, and small snack. I pack it all in a Tumi satchel. I prefer satchels to tradition rigid flight bags because satchels are flexible, compact, and lightweight.

[@proudvegan4232]

Great video

[@dhruvtotre5975]

Dont u need ear protection while checking the aircraft from outside

[@smsalman439]

true

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I don't go anywhere near the ramp without ear protection, I'm sure she has them.

[@RosssRoyce]

Make a 'preflight tour' vid pls (i think its you the second cptn who does the preflight of the plane outside?) i wonder how long it takes you :P

Great tips nice vids

[@witcheater]

I'm not and never will be a pilot. I am old. I am celibate and feel no desires. Yet I subscribed for some reason and I still watch your videos... even this one about what you currently fill your flight bag with. I am happy for your accomplishments. I wish no less than the best for you. I do not wallow in anticipation of your next video, but when you do produce such I will certainly watch. I admit that I know that being old makes being weird like I am acceptable... lol:)
