Thank you so much for watching this video. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to comment below and maybe I will be answering your question in the next video. Have a great day guys! X Michelle
Hi everyone, thanks for being here! I recently launched new Merchandise as you can see below this video. The logo contains a DutchPilotGirl Boeing 737-800 livery. What do you think? Have a great day! X Michelle
Have you ever landed in Ireland.
The Dutch pilot girl livery on the 787 was really nice.
u have a great explanation power,and love your videos quite a lot a lot,keep up the good work ma'am Pilot of 737 aspirant Yashvardhan Gupta India,delhi 10th grader😂 But seriously,keep up the good work
@@john-sy6hd I have :)
by the way, how old are you?
A friend of mine was a very senior First Officer. He did not want to move to Captain because that would put him at the bottom of the list when bidding on schedules. As a Senior First Officer he pretty much had his choice of routes and times, which made for a much more pleasant home life.
When Dutch pilot girl is important than online class :) Ily 💖
Same
Bro study comes first , even she wouldn't like that
@@dhruvshandilya6761 memes are memes 😃
My videos will wait, but your exams don't 😘
@@DutchPilotGirl no worries smart enough to have a reputation as a big dreamer 😂 ily ✌
My first video review with DPG was landing in heavy x-wind. I really appreciate the video editing and information overlays to explain just enough detail while watching. I don't know if this was intentional, but it gives the feel of processing all of the FO's flight information in real time. Stay safe!
I love the way you handle your knowledge without being a snob. The way you got this far is because of the love of flying. It's contagious. Thank you for your presentation.
I'm so impressed by how articulate DutchPilotGirl is. Pleasure to listen to.
Michelle! So good to see you! Always a ray of sunshine even on a rainy day! Outstanding explanations ma'am. (I've been a professional instructor for 30+ years). You are so much fun to watch...thank you so kindly! I've been a private pilot, but spent more time "flying" at -1,000 feet. Personal note: flying with Michelle would always be the ultimate upgrade!
Thanks!
Great video. Really professional and informative. Some military pilots who go into commercial flying find it difficult to flatten the cockpit gradient. They are used to being in complete control all of the time. In the past, there have been times where a steep cp gradient in some cultures caused bullying behaviour and unfortunately fatal accidents.
Hello Michelle. Thank you for the information. I enjoyed it. It is nice to get this kind of information. The livery looks pretty good. Stay safe.
Aloha, I just tripped over your channel and enjoy it a lot. I used to be a runway maintenance electrician at an airfield and LOVED the job. Had a retired Air Force pilot (F-4's) who I used to go flying with often in his Cherokee. He let me pilot occasionally and I really enjoyed it. he's moved on now so I can get my vicarious enjoyment "Flying" with you. Mahalo Nui Loa
After watching so many Air Disasters/Air Emergencies episodes, I've noticed that it's normally the first officer flying and have wondered why, so this sure is very helpful!
Truly interesting also for passengers. Thanks for your lovely engagement!
This was very informative Michelle! Thank you!
Nice concise explanation of the pilot hierarchy. Well done! Look forward to your next vid.
Thanks!
Waited a week for this one! Another great and informant video! You post I learn! 👏
Thank you!
Another brilliant video!! You obviously know your stuff!!... Just hope the others do too!! Keep them coming!!
Brilliant video, loved your clear explanation. Subscribed!
I found you from Mentour Pilot. Your a great find. I enjoyed this video and will return to watch more. Be safe up there. Jim G.
Very thorough presentation! Look forward to your next one! Be safe, stay safe!
Glad you like it!
This video is also packed with great information. I simply love it !…and she is so easy to understand , clear concise delivery …what’s not to like ?
Wonderful video! thanks for teaching us this, you are an expert, keep flying safely and please, stay safe.
From time to time it is very beautiful to see this smile God protect you every time and evrywhere
So you expect God to preferentially protect certain people based on superficial surface characteristics ?
You should see her without makeup. Nothing against her. She is smart but beautiful I wonder.
A little of regulation: "Comander pilot (highest rank on the plane) is the responsible for the aircraft/flight operation during the flight time, manipulate or not the flight contolls." So, no mather who is flying (controlling the yoke/side stik), the responsibility allways will be on the captain...
The commander is indeed responsible for everything that goes on inside the airplane
Thank you Michelle! Plenty and very interesting information here! Take care.
Very enlightening! Thank you, ma'am. Will feel safer next time on a flight!😊 Veilig wees. 🇿🇦
Thanks!! And for your support 😏
Great video Michelle, I find myself loving your videos and watching more and more of them. I am a Locomotive Engineer and drive trains in Canada for a living. I just wanted to see the differences in our two jobs in terms of responsibilities and work life. I recently got back from Cancun Mexico and had a great flight on Westjet 737 Airbus. Have you ever had a chance to tour Boeing Facilities in Everette Washington? It's incredible if you ever get a chance. Cheers and safe flying.
Excellent series. Well done!!!
Ongelovelijk. Ben er stil van! Hartelijk dank voor het delen.
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your life and times with us that watch your informative channel. Outstanding job young lady.
Thanks Edward!
@@DutchPilotGirl your welcome, I'll always fly with you. First Class video's are of your nature.
Nice info. Thank you DutchPilotGirl. :)
Kind of late watching this. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Always fresh to learn something new.
My heart ❤ goes out to you during theese difficult times, which has hit the aviation industry hard. Having travelled from the UK down to Greece on the new dreamliner aircraft very recently, I so respect the job you pilots do, sometimes us humans expect you pilots to just get us to our destination,
Thank you, luckily I still have a job but their are plenty of pilots that don't unfortunately... hope this pandemic is going to be over soon!
@@DutchPilotGirl what do you think about this, would that be a feasible option for a pilot out of the job due to the pandemic? "Swiss International Air Lines, together with the SBB, the Swiss railways, is looking into the possibilities of retraining pilots to become train drivers, according to various Swiss media." (www.flyinginsight.com/2020/10/04/swiss-pilots-to-possibly-retrain-as-train-drivers/)
I have been an enthusiast for decades, thought I knew it all and I just learned there is only one tiller. Great Video.
Many aircraft have tillers on both sides, probably more common than not.
That was,such,an interesting video, ,fantastic upload,many,thanks,look forward, to the next,video.
Love how you throw in the OE and SAQ config of pilots on flight deck!
Thank you for these explanations
As a Captain I generally fly the first leg to see how the FO operates. Then I will let the FO fly the next TWO legs so that they can get the out station experience. Then I will fly the next 2 and so on.
Good way of doing it!
I'm not a pilot, i have taken some lessons in a private plane. I heard that it's common for the captain to let the FO take off, & the captain lands? Of course that can sometimes be reversed??
@@timothygeiger8271 As far as I know. The law in plane is stated by captain. He or she decides on everything - as mentioned in this movie. Did You watch it?
@@norbert.kiszka the captain is the ultimate authority, but he does not make up laws, & he does have rules to follow.
Greetings dear Sir, I am planing for the next year to study and become a FO .. I would like to ask you a single and direct question. What is the difference between a good FO and a bad FO … what skill should I develop the most? Thank you in advance and many other journeys.
Hi Michele, have you covered on all platforms, I just love you and your dedication.
Good day Captain Michelle, I hope this message finds you well! I’m starting my FI course soon and wanted to ask if there are any tips you can give ( study guides, any books, tips, etc ) it would be a honour to receive information from you. Keep it up with the channel, it is truly my go-to page even before I got into the aviation world. Best regards
i sure like your videos as you share your knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of the pilot and first officer. My son-in-law is a pilot with Alaska Airlines based out of Portland, OR since transferring from Anchorage 4+ years ago. Your expiations and tags inserted into your videos as well as your velvity voice make your videos very enjoyable. Thanks
Thank you for a great video, keep up the great job you are doing. Norman Australia
Thank you for the informative video.
Wow thank you for this I learn a lot and enjoying watch your videos 😊🙏
Almost 200K subscribers! Well done
Couldn't have done it without you! ;)
thanks for the video!
Always a pleasure to see you
Thank you :)
Love your inspiring videos👍🏻❤️
Thank you so much for this informative video. You made my day 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for your sweet comment!
Awesome Information! Very informative and clean speech. You do an amazing job all the time! I will like to know how you put your English at that level? I speak Spanish but still need to get my English skills high and your way of speak is the level I want to go cuz you speak so clear and very presentable just how I want. Very glad to hear from you! Thank You!
Thank you. I really enjoy your video's. Thanks again.
Very very beautiful and very prepared. Sincerly congratulations. BRAVA👏👏👏
Thank you Michelle for introducing who are the real flight pilots and trainees. I'm proud of you Michelle that you had been mostly the captain and the First Officer of the plane who controls the plane. I have seen you driving the plane on the right as the Captain. You are my best pilot Michelle. I'm hoping to learn piloting lessons from you Michelle someday
74Gear also advocated NordVPN in one of his videos. Glad to see you use it too, and thanks for the promo code, I just might sign up ! Many prayers your way from western USA in this time of job uncertainty for you.....here's to hope you are flying again in the next few years.
Sounds complicated but perhaps not when you are knowledgeable about all this….😊 As you asked the question… I would like to see more of the “take off” and “landing” videos, awesome. I am amazed how obstructed the view from the cockpit is, especially the idea you can’t see the runway in front of the plane 🤔
Great job, Michelle!!
Thanks!
@@DutchPilotGirl you are the best!!
Great explanation!
Wow, I love the DutchPilotGirl Airline livery! 😄 Did you draw your logo Michelle? It’s beautiful!
Thank you! A great guy from Italy made this, incredible right?!
DutchPilotGirl Absolutely amazing! Send my congrats to him :)
@@MrPomelo555 I just did :)
Nice vid!
Superb Michelle, I love aviation
good informative video !
Thank you know I understand what a captain and a first officer is and what they do
Wow I love the T -shirts I might just order one really good info in your videos thanks
Thank you so much for your videos. But I had to ask this, at about 3+ min., did I hear you mentioned ..shady airlines..? Wow, this is scary, to fly in such an airline !
great idea to clarify this rather confusing aspect. I learned something about why only the left seat pilot can steer the airplane during taxiing for certain categories! If I may add something about "the past" and the presence of the 3 acting person in the cockpit (flight engineer) I was invited there as a passenger for a take-off (golden days, this was before the tragedy of September 11...) and was rather puzzled to see that it was the flight engineer who performed the task of applying thrust during the take-off phase, and not the PIC. It was a 747, and I don't know if this was specific to this airplane. The engineer seat was positioned directly behing the pilots, so he could execute the procedure.
A really great and enjoyable video 🌹🌹
Hi dear, compliments for keeping up creating your video's. We sure can use the distraction and interesting information you're sharing. In case you will be grounded due to the current situation I'd advice you to train your skills using Flightsim 2020 (unfortunately the 737 is postponed until the 3 quarter of 2021) but the sim looks amazing. Wish you all the best..dikke knuffel! Ed ;-)
Yeah I need to figure out how I can get it to work on my computer (MacOs). Planning to give it a try soon, not enough time on my hands unfortunately...
DutchPilotGirl or you can fly in X-Plane 11. there is a 737 by default, but also a Zibo 737 (free improvement of the default one)
For a second I thought Michelle was in a airline where everyone looks like her and also I love how Joe and Michelle always comment on each others videos lol anyway keep up the great work
This flat management style is soooo Dutch 👍
Ii am little late to watch your new video. But i must say that you, mentor pilot and captain joe are a source of a lot of knowledge about aviation. Thankyou so much.
Thank you for watching our channels!
Yep very true, but remember captain joe aint a captain, he's first officer. He prob would have been a captain by now if air berlin hadnt gone tits up. Mentour pilot is a captain tho.
@@GeordieBoy69 Yeah bro, I know that. I have been following these aviation channels for almost 3 years now
Summary: Captain, first officer, and second officer are only company terms for pay. They were borrowed from maritime industry to give a feeling of reliability to passengers. Regulations use the term "pilot in command", who has responsibly and authority for safe operation, and "second in command" who is a fully qualified pilot but without final authority. PIC and SIC do not change during a normal short haul flight, they would only change if the PIC was incapacitated or possibly on an extended long haul while the original PIC is resting. During operation there is a pilot flying and pilot monitoring, this only describes the job a pilot is performing at a single moment, this can change many times during a single flight and is simple agreement between pilots.
Another great video
very well information shared
Nice, smooth, clean delivery...always the best from you future captian....💨
Thanks Charles!
Hi mitchell im one of your fan i always enjoy watch your channel...keep safe and Godbless.....
I've noticed that when the captain makes his welcome and greeting to the passengers he will usually say 'First Officer John Smith will be flying us to ......' or if the captain is the pilot flying he will simply introduce the crew members. I guess it just sounds more polite and emphasises that they are a team.
Would like to see more (or some) content from the cockpit. I've not seen any on your channel so far
There is one more cockpit crew less common than flight engineer. Flight navigator. These were common for ocean crossing, areas with odd features (eg lots of change in compass variation) or for planes that fly at lower altitudes in areas with difficult terrain like mountains, also more common in the military. The FAA still has a navigator certificate handbook and test. The 707 and early 747 built for ocean crossing included a navigator window in the top for measuring stars with a sextant, later 747 still have the hole but it is changed to an emergency vent and roof access hatch. The SR-71 spy plane had an automated star tracking navigation system.
Ah, great explanation. Divided duties more that I realized. Sometimes I wonder who really does most of the flying. It seems to be the Auto-Pilot.
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? OF COURSE YOU ARE A REAL AND GREAT PILOT! CONGRATULATIONS, GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks! Not everyone considers the co pilot to be an actual pilot 🙄 wanted to shed some light on that 😏
@@DutchPilotGirl co-pilot still sounds as if he/she is twirling thumbs while captain is the one who is busy 24/7. pilot flying/monitoring is the better designation
Thank you!
Good explanation
You still amaze me. Mid 20s year old and a certified ATP heavy jet You rock !
KZhead peaked my interest because the plane was virtually maybe 45° sideways and I thought that perhaps it was an optical illusion then I realized that it had to do with crosswinds totally unaware of those. However I love your child because everything is explained in more detail.
Ik ben ook een piloot in Microsoft Flightsimulator 2020. Daarom ben ik geïnteresseerd in je video's op KZhead en ben ik fan van je geworden. Groeten uit Kassel
you are the most beautifull pilot !!!! and thanks for your videos
she is absolutely fantastic
every time you said "pilot monitoring" I thought you said "paramotoring" lol guess because that's what I do lol
Wow ! What an amazing lady…..she is amazing ….brains and beauty….I’m super super impressed !
Very informative video on a pretty complex topic. Dutch Pilot Girl is a very good KZhead contributor & a talented pilot to boot. Far to much talent fo such a young lady - but I'll happily yield on that point.
Man you put a lot of things in perspective that most people don’t know, you will always be the captain First officer, I can see in your eyes you are in command awesomeness, I told my girlfriend I wish I could marry you and and got kicked out out for a day so I called my buddy that has a Cessna and we took off from our local airport and we flew around Catalina island here in California and all I said to my buddy was Dutch girl , made a video and sent it to her, boy oh boy what happened next lol, please be careful and you put on an awesome channel, good job young lady
I love this video omg my wish to become a pilot in my future flight ilove flying with dutch pilot girl and captain Joe
10:00 - 10:45.... most crucial point :)
Hello and thank you from Seattle, USA
I flew Concorde years ago and visited the cockpit. There was an Engineer and hundreds of disks and controls.
Yeah, very complicated aircraft!
Excellent !
Duidelijk uitgelegd dame.
Great video. Just before Covid I got two fights in the left seat for my captain promotion. Now due to Covid I don’t even know if I will have a job.
I am so sorry to hear that... this pandemic certainly has a terrible effect on everyone! Hope the situation will improve soon...
Sorry to hear that Stephen. I’m a retired corporate pilot, and in my 45 years went through many ups and downs in the aviation industry. Had several companies bought out, several sold their aircraft due to financial problems, and some just went out of business. But I always found a new job, and it was usually a better one. If you truly love aviation and flying you’ll find a way to continue, even in these very troubled times. Best of luck to you Stephen.
Informative video officer , i wish to be like you somedy
Thank you!
He's a lucky lucky man whoever he is😍
Awesome and beautiful.. content;) as always...!
Thank you!
DutchPilotGirl thank you 👈🏻
Happy new year pilot 👍🎂🍺
