- In this episode I will explain the purpose and function of the high-lift devices fitted on the Boeing 737NG. I will explain and show you how they work, when we use them and why.
I really hope you will enjoy this one and if you do, I will follow up with more in-depth procedures in upcoming videos.

I got here after learning flying is hard from the microsoft flight simulator.
Honestly same. I came here to learn and use the knowledge while playing flight Sim. I didn't know what flaps were but now I do.
Same here
😂
When you know everything, it's quite simple, not easy, but not difficuilt
Flying is so damn easy. I just need to know when to use flaps
Mentour pilot you are a credit to the airline industry! Been watching your videos and they are brilliant, can’t understand why people press the dislike button. And please ignore the immature people leaving stupid comments! Well done.
Capt Mentour is a Boing 737 man and Capt Joe is Airbus 320 pilot. I'm glad to have subscribed to both of these gentlemen to learn about these aircraft.
+G Yogaraja Great! I hope you enjoy the content!
Here come the undoubted "A" versus "B" arguments!
same here, I am watching their videos on a daily basis...😂😂
Not anymore
Black people should change their mind set from static to dynamic
Absolutely love the close up shots of the leading edge devices being extended. That underneath perspective is really cool.
When I first saw the flaps I thought the aircraft was broken and started panicking lol, I was only a kid
Wow.. just found this channel and I'm addicted... very nicely done!! and well spoken. Off the cuff and not scripted which I really enjoy!
Learnt so much from your explanations. The more I learn about the mechanics of flying, the more I love aircrafts. Thank you so much for sharing!
Please talk about HUD displays like the ones on 787.
You explain so well ... you make it sound so simple !! Thank You
Just discovered your channel and enjoy it very much. I have 250 hrs in a 172 and enjoy learning the details of what it's like to fly the airliners. keep up the good work sir.
totally great on flaps and lifts drag settings. landing braking.and excellent job and the explanation too..THANK YOU.
Thanks for this one! Always been interested in the basic procedures for flaps during take-off and landing.
Nice instructive video! There are two points I'd like to mention. The increased drag of landing flaps are important to make steep approaches if you're flying a Cherokee or Twin Otter in mountainous terrain but most transport jets don't fly those profiles. We all (airliners) need to be at about 1000' at 3 miles. Early turbojet engines needed a lot of time to spool up to go-around thrust and the higher drag meant higher stable thrust on approach. Engineers built in high drag for that reason. This greatly reduces spool up time to go-around thrust. In fact some early turbojets (think 707, 727) were so slow to spool up you were basically committed to land once below 400' unless your power was up. Modern turbofans are better but the design concept remains. Lastly, at Delta we illuminate all lights (landing, wing, nacelle and runway turn-off) below 18,000' to maximize our visual impact. Perhaps it's because there's more general aviation traffic in the US. At Delta, it was technique, but not procedure to turn on the taxi light when landing clearance was received. "Exterior lights" was a checklist item on the descent check which was done descending through 18,000' which is the max limit for VFR traffic in the US. Each airline has slight variations. Cheers
Always love the technical videos.
+brassmanone Great yo hear! Feel free to share it with any forum you think might like it!
I love you. Omg, with you as a teacher anybody can understand everything. You are amazing.
I think you’re a terrific teacher! Love your presentations... 👍👍
You’re BRILLIANT! So fluent & clear. Thank you so much.
Wow Mentour!!!!!! Thank you!!!! I asked you the question about flaps on a prevoius podcast and here it is!!!!!! A wonderful video as always!!! My respect for the responsibilities of pilots just increases everyday!!!!!!! Sir, I truly love and value all the help you provide us aspiring pilots and aviation enthusiasts !!!!!!!!!! Waiting for more technical videos:-) I would love to see more in depth technical and handling videos!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
A thorough and very beautiful description. Thanks.
I have wondered what the gates are for. Now we know.
Also, a byproduct of flaps 30 or 40 is increased drag and therefore higher engine rpm. This facilitates quicker engine spool-up to go-around thrust in case of a missed approach.
All of these procedures seem quite complicated but you make them look quite easy. Thx.
All ways enjoy your vids so much, I had been an aircraft technician for many years in the SA air force on Mirage III jetfighters in South Africa, Also ran the Jet engine test bench and find these vids very interesting. Must say the best in your category I've come across. I now live in Madagascar working with school children through education and and a Scouting program. Keep up the good work. Always had a love of flying but never had the opportunities. What I'm now doing is "Reaching Out - Touching Lives" and I love it !!!
Finally you uploaded it
Its damn satisfying video.
Very much impressed
Interesting point about over-spinning the wheels, I hadn't thought about that.
this is a fantastic channel THANK YOU- reduce to eliminate fear!!!
Very good video that explains things in a simple way, thanks captain
Thanks Captain Joe, you make it easier. Well done
This video was fantastic! I like the practical videos.
For the very first time I've had a nice and great explanation about flaps, slots, slats and so on.. I wish you could explain more on slots.. thanks Oscar from Nigeria. And just keep up the good work, I really love it, it helps me over her in Moscow while studying and during practicals..)
Love your show very informative
I’m also a wing structures mechanic and I help build the 737 wings it’s an amazing piece of engineering, if it doesn’t have wings it’s just a bus
Love these videos! I had no idea the leading edge of the wing changed shape at all!
Ohhhhh now I see y my flight was delayed cus the pilot what making a vid
Funny
LOL, I requested it for my x plane 11 sorry that your flight was delayed we will make it up in the simulator
STOOPID
Great videos !!!! I am an aviation fan from Quebec, Canada and have utmost respect for airline pilots & the way they carry themselves while on duty. Keep it up!!!
Thank you! Great to hear, I will try!
Thanks for the reply Captain. Let me submit you an in flight scenario: you are in take off mode on the 737, 5 seconds after the ''positive climb, gear up'' call ,for some unimaginable reason you loose thrust in both engines. Would it be possible then for the piloting crew to recover from such an ordeal & bring the plane to a ''safe landing''? Thanks a million for reading me & all the best to you.
@@marcrheaume2631 I can see you are an inteligent person and I am sure you know what will happen in this scenario, don't you? Our teacher didnt answer for a reason so please don't put him in that difficult situation, just learn the positive stuff he is teaching us brilliantly 😉
Thank you for yet another great and informative video!
Great video! It's nice to get these technical briefs.
Great stuff, flaps n slats .. more complex than I thought!
Thanks, Mentour. I always wanted to know when to put down flaps. Well explained
Very detailed explanation on the flaps operations-thumbs up
Hey Mentour im Bingewatching your videos, and i love the quality and content. Ive definetly come to stay
Good video Mentour, I think flaps, slats,. ect. are one of the coolest features of wing aerodynamics and design. keep up the good work!
So good explanation, I've learned more
Love these technical videos
Excellent Thank you very much- this experience has caused a change in behaviour
thanks for the detailed explanation.
Everybody in the comments is learning from you and it's great. I am having trouble understanding yet I can fly a mean Radio control plane flawlessly.
Hi i like your channel very much. now question i want to ask, in the cockpit has many instrument and many switch control between pilot seat and co-pilot seat. how do get in the seat from back. look like you have to jump over those instrument and switch controls. am i understand right?
I did a video recently about the chair. Check it out!
They have rails, they can slide ;)
Great explanation. I learned quite a bit from this video. Thank you.
Great video, as always! It's very interesting when we "borrow" from nature for our technology.
I love that too. Similarly as birds flare upon landing.
I've been waiting for this podcast forever, and it is so interesting! Thanks so much. Luv all your podcasts. Happy New Year!
Wow it's so complicated. I'm in awe 😯
I LOVE the vids in the cockpit!!!
I like the way you explain captain thank.
Fantastic explanation. Thanks.
This was an excellent video. Very informative.
Freaking fascinating, great video. Always of course heard about flaps and all that but wanted to get an in depth understanding or at least some understanding. Great vid.
Loved this one! Glad to see the 737max engine cutoff lever as well!!
+badname donekart@hotmail.it Yep! Check out my Instagram if you want to see it up close.
I use to take off in simulators with 45º Flaps...😂 Something new learndu.🤙🏻❤️
Very informative and well presented video, keep up the good work Skipper!
This is the info i’ve Been waiting for. This podcast was excellent. So neat!
+Kathy volpe-schaffer I’m glad to hear that you like it!
Thank you so much for explaining how the flaps works, I knew how it works , but I learned in this video the difference when using one engine and when using two engines, great video
+Miguel lima Thank you! Great to hear that you liked it!
very great explanation, tysm!
Excellent explanation! Keep up the great work.
thank you capt for the explanation
Thank you Mentour for your dedication to us. This video is an awesome one. You are generous with knowledge and time and the result is great. I will share this video everywhere.Thanks again. Bye Bye
Cool! Its very interesting video. Good to know how these mechanical function on Aircraft.
Highly educational Capt. Very helpful for aviation students like me who want to become pilots.
+Adrian Co Great to hear my friend! Feel free to share it with whatever forum you think will like it!
Thanks for that. I have to land at WLG NZ in an hour and its a 145 kn crosswind so this should get me and my passengers there in one or two (max) pieces.
Thanks a lot, it is very informative. I was always wondering when I see inside the plane why flaps have openings between each segment.
Very interesting.Thank you.
Enjoy watching all your videos for the last several months now and definitely decided to become a subbie.. Keep-um coming now...
Slats and flaps are the feathers of a plane. I like that comparison.
+Mikosch2 Yeah, it’s a very visual comparison. I thought it was apt.
It is based on how a bird flies and lands.
My instructor always used to compare planes to birds regarding certain phases of flight. Which is is suiting because they are natural fliers.
Yeah and those WWII Bf 109's had slats on the leading edge, first fighter plane with them I think.
Love your vids Mentour! Another great explanation!
+victory01 That’s nice to hear my friend!
When extended, they give the wings more lift which allows the plane to fly at a slower speed which can be very useful at landing time.
Hi, I am from Turkey. Thanks for these videos. Firstly I need to say that your accent is very good and clear. I am not a pilot but curious about aviation. İf it is possibile it may be very excellent adding to the videos more animation or real videos. Thanks in advance.
Love the video. Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi mentour, very welcome this is yet another view for your video as always I hope you too will be doing absolutely fantastic
Really good video this.
Extremely good invention and design
heh when i used to fly, i used to love watchingthe flaps and things operate as the plane turned, banked, landed and took off, always fascinated me and i always been into planes and flying since i was lilttle kid
Well done men ! Thanks.
very nice explanation !
I appreciate you now shooting from the plane
Please talk us through the newer B737 models and difference between the hydraulic systems of a twin jet(737) and a quad jet(747). And thank you for such informative and interesting videos.
Outstanding!!!
Well explained!
That was a brilliant poscast
complicated but fascinating
AWESOME video!!
L=½pV²ACL. Change A (area) - get more lift!
What I learned is that a plane can't over speed (v), so now this equation make more sense. Thank you mentour!
It changes the coefficient of lift more so. Though arguably, since the area is just a reference area, the distinction between area and coefficient of lift are arbitrary and should be combined
Good stuff my friend... Thank you...
Watching again...to learn.
Good job thank you
love your videos, thank you
Great video, keep up the great work!
Good Job Captain
Hello, you have to be very intelligent to remember and execute all information.
Superb video. Thanks.
i have watched this video more than a dozen times and yet i still can not get enough of it. So well done that even a non-technical person will comprehend the concepts quite easily.
Great Video mentour
You are amazing. You’re so young and so knowledgeable. You inspire confidence in the younger generation.
Thank you! twice!
Thanks a lot, sir!
Interesting and fun to learn more.
very good explaination thanks sir.
You are more than welcome!
