Welcome!
On this channel you can expect video-blogs, technical instructions, flying techniques and much more about the wonderful world of commercial aviation and the life of airline pilots.
I am using my 13 years of experience as an airline pilot, training-captain and TRI/TRE to give you MY view of the airline business and the role of an airline pilot.
All the content is intended to give you a positive and constructive view into the fantastic world of commercial aviation.
Please keep your comments and questions in the same spirit and please INTERACT. The channel becomes much better then and its intended for YOUR benefit.
The content on this channel is for info and entertainment only and is not intended to replace any existing FCOM manuals or SOP's.
I am only talking for myself and do not represent any specific company, airline or entity.
I have heard of guys getting asked "what did our share price close at yesterday?". Its important also to know the business part of the airline you are interviewing for because at the end of the day it's a business that wants to make a profit.
I’ve also heard, what is our ticker symbol?
Thank you, Mentour! I’m actually interviewing with an airline here in the U.S. next Monday for an A&P mechanic position and I’m really thinking that I may be subject to some of these tests! Keep up the good work man. We love all your vids!
I have the following upcoming tests; Maths, Physics, Behavioural Competency, Spartial Awareness, Mechanical Reasoning and Psychometric Evaluation. This vlog is perfect for me as you have answered pretty much all the questions that I was about to ask you. Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant knowledge. 👏 👏 👏.
Such as a nice inspiring & motivating person, keep going capt!
Thanks a tons for the video.You actually came up with great points one should understand with,and also you made it easy for an individual who might b actually scared to even think about airlines interview.Thanks a lot and yeah i will definitely keep your points into consideration and try to be my best for my upcoming interview.
Nice Video! especially the part of the advice around the interview. Thats pretty much it :)

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Very useful!
Fascinating to see this 7 years later, as a current fan from the USA. I was military, non pilot, then pilot, then 1 interview and the "dream" (wink) cargo job. I teach some foreign students, this was so enlightening to our differences.
Thank you very much. Really appreciate this kind of video podcasts :) Gracias!!
Really appreciate this video Mentour!
Excellent information. Really enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
Great video Sir! Thank you very much. Safe flights!
Very informativ and helpful video. It answerd a lot of my questions but i've also heard a lot of this Info.(for example to be relaxed and so on) Very very cool stuff Mentour, wish me good luck for my dream!! :)
Great video! Always thank to your kind answers as well!
Really appreciate this video, thank you so much!
Hi Petter, as a freshly graduated pilot i really want to thank you for your video and your hints, are very very precious to me. I applied for a lot of company (and still waiting from RYR), and for the moment i got an interview for Valorfly in the next two weeks. I'm not sure how reliable is the company to be honest, i'm afraid to loose my type rating money..Best option is still your airline to me :) Alessandro
thank you for this helpful video . cheers
Really great video! Very helpful!! Thank you Petter :)
Great channel man. Thanks for these videos. During these days I am prepering myself for DLR tests. I actually passed the DLR-1. Then I failed on DLR-2. Now there is DLR-2 retest coming up. Your videos are very very heplful for me during this period. Pray for me man :) And I hope you have some things to tell us about DLR (especially DLR-2). Thank you very much and KEEP UP!

Hey Mentour. I’ve watched your videos now and again and recently subscribed to you. Love your videos and I take all of your advice seriously. I’m going through CPLEMIR training at the moment and thinking a lot about my employability, so please indulge me a little. Here’s my problem with the personality tests used for interview processes: they’re not reliable enough to analyse individuals. The research shows that, CLEARLY. These tests were originally designed for research purposes and can in no way accurately map someone’s personality. I say this because I studied this both in psychology and sports psychology at university. Yet of course, these personality tests are highly attractive to airlines. A company changes around a little bit the 4, 16, or 32 trait tests and then claim it as their own, saying that they’ve specifically tailored it to accurately tell you what a candidate is really like. Therefore, despite all the research that shows that this is a rather unjust and inaccurate practice, its use has been on a steady increase not just by airlines, but also by flight schools and industries outside aviation. Oxford Aviation for instance, do regularly fail potential students purely because of their personality test results, even though they excel in all other areas of the psychometric tests, sim ride, group exercises, and interview. With that in mind, why should we not try to tailor our answers to what we think the airline wants, assuming that we thoroughly research the airline, the type of people employed there, and the personality tests used? What’s your personal opinion on the matter? Either way, I do consider very carefully EVERYTHING you and other people more experienced than myself have to say. You all know way more than I do after all. Thanks very much for the videos
I realy whant to become a pilot and you are realy helping
Nice video! Now that I know something about how to pass.😂Im 14 right now and I want to be a pilot. Im really exited to be one in the future!✨

Same I wanna be a pilot I’m nearly fourteen and ig you will be in flight school if everything went to plan
very heplful thank you guy
its really a great thing to be a pilot i hope i be one in the future just pray for me.
+Mentour Pilot Thank you so much!! This is really helpful for if I apply for a job after Aviation Academy.
+Amna Alnaqbi Flying into a skyscraper doesnt make you a pilot you know. LUL
Amna Alnaqbi you dont rely on god as a pilot. Goodluck
You can do it
Its Been six years... Are you now a pilot?👨✈️
hi thanks for the video, it's really so helpful, I'm going to pass the interview and team work test next february, I really nead some specifics examples or questions for teamwork or interview, because I have no experience or a lots of knowledge in this domains, i'm really thank you for this video and if you could help me any way you could, thanks again ... * sorry for my poor english hhh I'm working on it to improve it well*
hey it is good to mention during the interview that the job was not my childhood dream. ? I thnikin about to say that i discovered the job for me in later years and i can see my future life there also in this sector
First of all, Thanks for the great videos :) Second, What is the best time of the year to send job applications? Fall, just before summer perhaps? Thanks in advance
thank u soo much sir
Thank YOU for supporting and watching my videos!
Ok thank you
Hi Mentour, Before you can go to the airline interview you need to be selected. But how do they select someone? Do they look to the results of your ATPL theory exams? Or something completely different?
Advice for cadet pilots please!
I would like to learn what you are thinking about psychology test. I am an ab initio now and in the process of DLR-2. As I observed, the questions such as 38*38 or 2/17 are asked by psychologs in the interviews. What do you think about this question type and what may be the best answer for such kind of questions?
Hello Sir, Can u talk about a Cadet Pilot Interview? As a school /College Graduate whos appearing for first Interview in his/her life for a Cadet Pilot Program? Thank u for wonderful advices and information you provide
Travel-O-Graphy What happend? Have you got through the interview?
How did it go last year? Haven't passed mine last year with WizzAir since I told them that I'm going away for 9 months for military service.
@@qwerty-or1yg I have that interview tomorrow... what was questions? Topics?
@@Zipp0nIc Basically all same questions why you want to become a pilot and so on. Good idea to read about the company before the interview and maybe ask couple of questions about the fleet or something to show interest. And basically there was a second part where we had a group task (don't quite remember what it was about tho).
@@qwerty-or1yg I am on it, tnx a lot man ☺️
I Wish If I Could Train This!
First of all a great very informative channel you have! Secondly, I've been wondering about personality types suited for pilots. Would you consider yourself and your collagues in the business extroverts? Being strongly introverted myself I am a bit terrified by these group exercises or social interaction tests. I feel like my personality is the biggest reason to fail while the love and interest into aviation is there I just feel that most companies always want very extroverted people instead of the "lonewolfs". Anyone else have experience or tips on this? Cannot really lie to them about your own personality...
+antimonni Hi! I have done a video about "Pilot personalities" as well. Check that out as well as my "motivational" videos. They should all help. Good luck and believe in yourself!
+Mentour Pilot wow, thx for answer :) I've been watching your vids for the last two days and they really do help. I'm a 33yo trucker looking for a career change. Spending week on the road so I guess our jobs aren't that different from each other but I'm most worried about the application phase that they will just reject me even before interviews because of personality...
Im going to a flight acadmy to get my atpl in the next 3 years and im nerves from now
15:44 "Know their shit"
can you apply for jobs at different airlines?
nice
What suggest to respond if being asked during a cadet pilot interview that how to solve it if run into problems or disagreements with captains, or how should fo react to captain who does not strictly follow sop during flight? thank you very much!
As a pilot how you keep your self heathly and your back and neck is good
What's the most pressure come from during the whole process of flight and how to handle it?
Hi ! I don't have any pilot experience so should I go for pilot school or the airline company will partially sponsor the pilot course ?
I have a question, should I wear a regular suit to the interview or rather my pilot uniform?
Thank you very much for you insight into the industry. I am a new private pilot from Canada about to start the CPL soon. Here we need over 3000 hours to get anywhere close to a jet so I am far away from a jet cockpit. I am interested in learning more about hand flying the 737. More specifically how often do you get to disconnect the autopilot and flight director and fly raw data. I have heard that many airlines turn on the autopilot shortly after rotation and disconnect it during short final. If that is the case then how do you keep your hands and feet sharp?
How’s the flying going?
I fly an E175 in the US, but I’d say most handfly up to 10-15,000 ft and disconnect anywhere from minimums to around 1500 ft. You wouldn’t turn off the FD unless you were on a visual approach and were using it for guidance. We leave the auto throttle on all the time unless it’s gusty and it can’t keep up.
Hello, thank you for each video you post, are useful. I have a question I hope you will ask, what level of english is nedded to start ( to pass the selection) the ATPL course? Thanks
Minimum level 4 English is needed. You can check examples here on KZhead
@@MentourPilot thank you
Hello - this video was very informative. However, I have a question; my abstract mathematic skills are slightly wonky for some reason, but I do pretty well at applied mathematics. I have looked at a few aptitude tests online, where some are applied mathematics and others just pure abstract. Based on your experience, what type of mathematics are usually recommended to become and airline pilot. Is there any high-level stuff like calculus? Cheers.
Adrien Rassat from what I’ve heard most is just basic operations (add, multiply, etc.) Also I don’t know where you are but in Canada many schools will accept you with good marks in college preparation classes. However I am no precessional.
Adrien Rassat so it's been 2 years, are you a pilot now?
hi please i need answer is the CPL certify enough to get aviation job or its difficult because i aimed to qualify in south Africa aviation school
What if you don't have an engineering background or aren't really good in maths ? Will it hinder you from getting an airline interview? Really insightful video though!
Please be aware that when you sincerely explain things with eye contact with your camera lens, there is someone at the other end listening as good as you would expect. Thanks!
Still watching :-) I really like the content and wisdom of experience and yes, your car. I am preparing for pilot exams now. I humbly suggest you take more listed videos; for example, I want to watch all your motivational content but it was not possible at the first glance.
i have been looking up for some of those aptitude tests and it seems that i have to pay for me to be able to use it. Is there any free websites if so can you place the link because i've been looking for like a week or 2
Hi Mentour, I have one question for you! I did my MCC/JOC and in the right hand seat I was PF and in the left hand seat I was PM. In an assessment if you are in the right hand seat you are PF only? Thank you very much
No
Incredible video ! I wish it was out before I did mine haha Thank you. I have one technical question for you. Could you explain how exactly you plan your descents on the B737 if you want to do them without using VNAV ? Also what mode would you use ? LVL CHG / VS ? Keep up the good work !
Fre4Kz The way I was taught during my MCC/JOC was to use LVL CHG mot of the time. Of course descending with LVL CHG will cause a quite rapid descent with A/T engaged as thrust will be reduced to idle. So if we wanted a slower descent we would use V/S combined with MCP SPD. Could be that I am not totally right, but Petter can correct me :)
In LVL CHG, to decrease the rate of descent, you can use a bit of thrust :) That's why the A/T is in ARM mode.
Fre4Kz Ah! That is new info to me. Thanks!
No prob ! Cheers mate :)
Fre4Kz VNAV is the preffered method for descends and descend planning on the 737, V/S is mostly used to comply with vertical speed restriction by ATC or at the final inbound turn for the ILS, to achieve perfect CDA on to the glideslope. LVL CHG is good for all the other situations (lets say you get a direct or a heading which ruins your vnav profile or for profile corrections) I'm not a real 737 pilot so Petter can correct me I guess.
Do you think it's worth to buy for your piloteducation?
In the numerical reasoning test can we use a piece of paper to do the math or is it all mental maths?
Does it include aptitude assessments test in interviews?
sir i need to become a flight dispatcher am persuing bba airport mngmnt but an commerce stream student sooo can i become same by ground handling experience
great! thanks for the post. I'm wondering if you're a Capt. or FO ? and what type do you fly. and your age thanks for the great advice ! very easy to understand you
he is a Captain
+Josh Gamble rgr thanks!
+plane man rgr thanks!
Are you blind or what? he´s clearly Captain man.. even his minipicture on youtube show it
I really would like you to talk about ATPL and how it really is,tips..
***** yup i mean whatever you can provide it'd be great!
David MuscleGuy ***** the importance of ATPL theory when it comes to looking for work etc.
Yes makes perfect sense. thanks for the prompt reply +Mentour Pilot
I just LIKED u my frnd..... ;)
mentour I want to ask u some thing that is it necessary to fly more than 1000 flying hours or a experience of250 hours of flying is enoughfor joining as a jr.first officer in any airline pilot job .. plz mentour reply my question I'll be waiting for your answer
Which airline do you work for pls🙏🏻
interviews really give me chills. I just failed a recent airline interview. it was my first job interview in my life and i just messed up. i got too nervous and kept blabbering about technical things i wasn't sure about. the worst part is that i am a very introvert person so i really am not sure how to express myself. interviews are harder for me compared for the simulator check. i was so close to entering my target airline and i messed it all up. dont be like me guys. hopefully i get to land a job soon
+timothy chua Sorry to hear that my friend. The key is not to think of what's at stake but answer as well as you can on the questions and believe in yourself. You have already shown that you have what it takes to get to the interview. You can do it!!
Mentour Pilot thank you very much for being an inspiration here. This happened months ago and it was a good eye opener and learning experience. I got the chance to talk with one of their senior captains who is helping me out right now. Hopefully I will get my second chance soon and land the job. Many thanks sir,
@@timothychua7832hope everything went well
Where can i find the personality test online for free? Thanks a lot
Can you make a 'day in the life if a pilot' video?
***** Alright! Thanks :)
do pilots have to have visa
Thanks for the video. i just got in a famous airline :)
Well done 👏
Hello, Firstly, I want to thank for your answers. I don't response to those answers because I don't want to buzz your phone all the time but you can be sure I appreciate your nice intentions and answers. There are second officers in long haul flight right? Or isn't there any? I checked wikipedia it says something like that but sometimes it can not be trusted. Thank you for your answer in advance. Best regards
They aren’t called second officers they are relief pilots to help the main crew
I swear, i went to do one of these tests online and i got 2 answers wrong out of 20 😳 first shot, i'll keep practising, but i hope i'll have the same luck when the time comes hehe
Did it cost you? If it didnt can you send me the link please?
Hi, Can you help me with tips to improve my attitude control. I have already exceeded 45 hrs in the PPL and still haven't gone Solo. HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY CONTROL?
Capt Sigan that is a far too general question - however remember that power controls your height and attitude controls your speed
What kind of topics do airlines usually choose for group discussion ?
Dear Mentour Pilot, Great video. To be honest, the large "Airline Corporations" want someone who will follow government regulations perfectly. I think I would do well on certain parts of the test, and not as well on other parts of the tests you describe. I have good visual-spatial skills, but I am 33 years old, and the major "Airline Corporations" want to recruit very young people and retain them. I think I may be unemployable in this area due to my age. Nowadays, with new technology, the airplanes almost, pretty much, for the most part, fly themselves. Airline pilots nowadays have to act more like "Politicians", "Code-Enforcers", and "Attorneys At Law" in order to navigate the maze of massive government bureaucracy.
