- In this video I will be giving you my view on when it is too late to become a commercial pilot. :)
You can do basically anything if you believe in yourself and work hard towards achieving it.
Best of luck my friends!
Enjoy!
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 am 67 so,unfortunately, too old to be considering a career as a pilot. But I have always loved aviation and I spend a lot of my free time watching youtube aviation videos. I have a flight Simulator X and love to fly on it. I have actually taken flying lessons in the real world and if I was just starting out, I would definitely pursue a career in aviation of some kind. I love these videos and though I am retired and live on a fixed income now, I definitely plan to support your channel as I am able. I am a subscriber and look forward to many more of your videos. Thank you for what you do.
I wholeheartedly agree with this video. 3 years ago I quit my I.T. job to pursue aviation full time. I was the oldest cadet in my group but I am almost there. 2 more exams and I will have completed my ATPL theory. It isn't roses all the time but if you are determined, then you will push through!
Hey dude, are you into an airline now?
Wonder where you are now
+1, but I guess you just got back to IT..
I never comment on videos, but this video changed my life. Thank you, Mentour.
I am 34 years old, in 2014 with my spouse we left our life in Murcia, Spain to relocate in Northern Ontario, Canada. Where I started the Aviation program from Sault College (CPL(A)IR). I always wanted to be a pilot but life didn't take to me this path until now. After passing the first semester, in two weeks I'll be starting to fly (weather permitting). If I can do it, everyone can.
Thanks for having this channel, helps with a lot of the questions that I have.
Diego KF Hey man, I'm at that crossroads myself right now. I came across your post and was just curious, why Sault? Not to be nosy or anything, but why that specific school and location?
Mentour Pilot. Very appropriate video for me this one. 13 years in the police and 6 of those training to become an airline pilot. Finished the MCC and JOC last week so almost there... Enjoyed the path so far!
Liam Sandie I'm in a similar situation like you are! I'm an EMT and love what I do but there's no money to be made at $12 an hour! Going to bring going to flight school soon!
Brandon Gazdak well keep going. I am now flying for a major UK airline :)
Liam Sandie That's awesome! Yeah I work closely with many officers very awesome guys! But not the right career for me right now. If you'd like to add my Facebook I have a couple of questions for you? Or email... which ever works best.

Iv always wanted to be a police Officer till I was rejected more than 12 times I figured they really don’t want me, now I’m gonna try aviation since I have my own money and savings, excited to take my first lesson this month 😁
I'm not too old to achieve anything, I am relatively young but I have to say that this video and the way you are talking about crucial life problems and decisions in this and some other videos of yours is really exceptional.
I had been investigating about being a pilot the costs everything for a while and just now when I was relaxing this video comes up. I think you have the final word! Thanks for al your support to the people, you really help us wannabe pilots.
You're a true inspiration, Mentour. My plan is to finish my undergraduate in aerospace engineering and then hopefully focus full-time on flight school since airliners require a bachelor's in something. Please keep up your videos!
This was such a great video, I really appreciate your insights, I started in April at age 35, now going for CPL, staying focused, and staying determined, these kind words help so much, thank you.
Kris. CT USA
+Kristopher Lotko Im glad the video had the intended effect!! Best of luck my friend!
very true..i am 31 and now after being nearly 8 years in the army and gaining some money now i planning carefully and even started my ppl and next year i will be doing ATPL theory paid by army..i dont wanna regreat in the future for not doing it that i always wanted to be..thank you for giving me more motivation..
As always. you upload your videos on the EXEAT time that I am in need!
you are truly are an inspiration to us all thank you!
"Mentour Motivation" on a nice beach, I love it, more of this!
My Autism puts me Down a lot but thanks to your videos I now know more teqniques to help. I still have that glimmer of hope in me that I can somehow fly
Beautiful beach!! Absolutely fantastic!!
Mentour!! Thank you for your videos! I'm Brazilian, I'm living in Australia at the moment, I'm thinking about to start the pilot course next year in Brazil, but I'm afraid about a lots of things, first because I don't have a good English and I guess until next year it won't be enough to to learn and another personal things. Your video could make me to think more about it. Today I was thinking to give up but when I came to your channel to see new videos and I could watch this one and now I'll be calm and I'll try to think more about it again! Thank you so much! You help a lot with your videos!
Thanks for the encouragement!
You are more than welcome!
I can add on this video that even if it is not for a career, GA is still accessible to everyone, without the age restriction.
Flying as a hobby and not from A to B and B to C on tight times is fulfilling
I have watched this video today being the 5th time.. and i tell you am 27 and beginning my flighttraining in southafrica soon.
Hi, i am truly inspired with all your videos, the way you see things and portray. i am a big fan of your. Thanks
Sir i have 2 questions,
1. How long did it took for you to start from the beginning to be first Officer and then Captain?
2. What was your speed and efficiency till becoming first Officer?. Thank You. : )
Mentour Pilot. Thanks a lot for sharing this Video. I´m 35 years old, Engineer and starting to pull up the anchor. In October i will join a COMPASS Test at a known flightschool in the Netherland.I really appreciate your work here at youtube. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for this video it was a great heads up.I'm only 20 and I work a job that I do not like but I stick at it cause I know it will help me with funding pilot training that is good take me years to accomplish but as you said age isn't a problem :D
i am inspired by your thought process & your mindset... i see killer instinct in you... what an inspiration your sir...
i have learnt one fact in life you have to play the odds and you have to beat the odds as well..!!!!
Inspirational video for all MP - beautiful setting for a video too!
Every time I watch this it motivates me big time ✈️👮🏻
Thank you for posting this video! Very motivational. I too have decided that I would like to become a pilot and change from my current career, so I have started my PPL training!
'If you can dream it, you can do it!'
why would you do your ppl rather than apply for aviation school? Unless you want to fly solo as a hobby?
+Alias DMG you can still become a commercial aviation pilot by doing it the way I am, in modules. PPL is the first step. It's cheaper to do it the way I am doing it and you can work at the same time
If you do a PPL is that not burning more money?
You are awesome captain
I want to start saying that your videos are indeed an infinite source of inspiration and good vibes. Cheers to that. Now, I am currently studying a degree in Aeronautical Engineering since paying for flight school is not an option at this very moment of my life. I am still planing to pay my training after I finish with engineering though.. My question is... Will I ever get some use out of being an engineer... And a pilot? Have you ever met any pilot who both studied an engineering degree and trained to become a pilot? If you have, how was that helpful for his job as an airline pilot?
Pure inspiration Pete!!!Nice one
Best motivational video ever watched starting flight training next week
Thanks
Great!! Best of luck, now the fun starts!!
Cheers for the 'pick me up' Mentour! :D Needed it.
thanks for uploading a new video. Could you please make a video that how much grade is needed to become a pilot and what is the cost of all those studies and training. i hope you would make a video that would be helpful to make my dream come true
thank you so much for your videos they are inspiring!
what an inspiration video! Thanks Mentour
Great video as always it is true you can do your dreams
Excellent videos Captain!!! I'm glad I found this channel!! I'm starting as a student pilot, Do you have any advice for those we are starting?? thank you!! greetings from South America
+Mentour Pilot thank you!!! very much, I'll do that, well, I always wondered if you have any license from South America, what do I need to work in other countries like European countries?? I really admire what you are doing, thanks and congratulations, when I become I want to be as wiser and brave as you are!
So true!
Thanks a ton for this video!
Best suited video for me.
Thanks a lot for what you do. Can you please make some videos regarding aircraft engineering, since I am studying it.
like, if there is something wrong with the aircraft, and you know it because you are flying it. How do you tell the engineeres about the problem? Why types of problems do you experience that should told to the engineers. And in which country is there a shortage of engineers?
Thanks!
I did change fields, carriers, mostly to afford normal life, to not be load or dependant from someone. So carrier changing is not a big challenge, but the same damn money needed to get close enough to CPL, esp. if You have a family to care about, and there's no much left for stepping up to become a pilot. It's a ridiculous amount even to acquire PPL for regular people in my county. And that's the reason we have so few native pilots even in our national airline, even PPL is owned by older people who got it when it was lot cheaper, or sponsored, or by rich already. It seems that You need to have a good job in the bank first, before dreaming about a pilot career. It is a vicious circle: in order to have a pilot career, you should be rich(having assets) already. And no one here can tell how to overcome this.
Jānis Grīnvalds I’m a Comemricial pilot , it all comes to how bad you want it. I didn’t have a easy path, I had failures , I finished behind my friends but when you finally get there it’s worth it ! Here is the positive the industry is great right now , pilot jobs are there , what is hard is once you do get the commercial license the jobs are very limited till you build hrs time . It really is hard the first year , or two getting a job building the time . You need 1500 hrs to fly for a airline. That’s a another topic I could discuss , and why the 1500hr is ridiculous . The cost is really not anymore then what people pay for a 4 year college probably cheaper if you don’t go to a 141 school like ATP. It’s not easy , it’s takes determination hard work. Hey nothing in life worth having comes easy !
I've been constantly thinking about this. I ask so many pilots which route I should take. "Should I pay as I go and get all of my ratings slowly? Or get a loan and finish it quickly so I can start flying for the airlines faster?". There are so many mixed reviews on this topic. What is your opinion, Mentour? I'd love to know what an airline captain's view of loans for aviation are.
Thanks, Mentour! This really clears things up! Love this videos!
I'm 34.i will pursue a career as I pilot if there is a cure for the disease which stops me now. I hope there will be one within a decade and will plan for that.
you made my day thanks :)
I’m a motor mechanic 13 years and now at the age of 31 I’ve to decide if I wanna chase my dream or settle an have kids
5:13 and as long as you can pass class 1 medical
i really want to become a pilot through the air force for many reason (Australia) what do you think about it captain.
Hi, Mentour Pilot. I am considering becoming a pilot and I would like to know ¿how suitable it is to find a job as a pilot in a country different from your own? I am from México but I would love to work in a European country. Have you worked or know a Mexican pilot? Anyway, thank you for this awesome channel!
thank you for sharing experiences. I'm studying master of finance and I will try to take a shot to become a pilot next year. I have 2 questions:
1) my right leg have broken one, not totally broken, a little bit. So can I become a pilot?
2) Between the Us, Europe, new zealand and Australia, which is the best choice to study? is flight hours more important than where I got certificates?
Hi Mentour Pilot,
I am 15 turning 16 years old and I'm starting with my PPL next month! Thanks for your inspiring videos. Were you an instructor before you became a commercial pilot? I would like to find the most enjoyable way of gaining hours and experience.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
+fsxpilot1231 no he wasnt,,, he got airline job at the age of 20.... he made videos regarding his entire journey,, kindly chk entire playlist :-)
Jason I took a different path then instructing , but it all comes down to what works best for you. Make dreams a reality , stick the plan and don’t quit !
hi mentour. it's me yahia i messaged you on your first video about how I passed my ATPL and I was so happy about it . But now I been feeling down and less motivated and how people say that pilots don't respect anymore and how they say planes fly themselves and all that carp. Even when I spoke to my girlfriend she said planes are like buses and it. makes me really upset when someone tells me that and now I'm stuck and I don't what to do.
+Mentour Pilot thanks mentour, your honstley the best and your videos are always inspirational and motivational keep up the good work and I will give you an update about my self once in while. p.s thanks for the flowers idea😅😅
If you have to be a pilot do you have to have a certain fitness? Can you wear glasses if yes what is the maximum? Lastly does your English need to be good (literature).
You make good videos that push me to the limit to be a pilot. Do you get holidays in between or continuous?
Sorry for asking loads of question
+Mentour Pilot 4 A/L days means??
If you can’t fully achieve your dream at least live it
Mentour, if I wanted to train under you as one of your cadets, would that be possible? If so, what steps would you recommend I take as an American citizen to make it happen?
please do more motivational videos!!!!
Mentour where is that beach it looks amazing! Also thanks for the video :)
+Mentour Pilot It must be so nice living in Europe because there are so many destinations that are easily accessible and within a short distance from each other. If its alright may I ask which Airline you fly for? I apologize for all the comments and questions!
he lives in Spain so I would assume it's a Spanish beach :)
Good! What is the music in the background? I like it.
I know that in aircraft passengers have life jackets. Does pilots have life jacket or parachute?
Can I retake the suitability test, can I keep trying till I get it?
Suitability test is also altitude test right?
Thanks,
Hello Mentour! Do you think the ppl syllabus and the books/course etc has changed a lot from 2003 compared to know?
+Mentour Pilot Hello Mentour! Do you personally think I should wait for 2016 to get my air law book for ppl training or should I buy it know and also do think cd is better or book?
and the school only has cpl exam and not frozen ATPL
Hii, i just love ur videos and iv SUSCRIBED ....i am from India and going for training in US after 2 months and ill stay there for 3 years until i get 1500 hrs done . I want a job in India so wer shall i give my Frozen ATPL in US or in INDIA and after that will i get a job in INDIA plsssss help me im worrried THank you n keeep making videos :)
So you're a trainy captain as well (train new cadets) ?
+Mentour Pilot wow, lots of experiance!!
Can you be an engine engineer for two different engines? e.g. if you're a B777-300/300-ER engineer can you fix a RR & GE-90115B1 engine or do you have to be assigned on 1 engine for your career???
Cheerz
+Sallah AL Houssawi Hi, I'm an aircraft engineer so I'll answer this: When you qualify as an engineer you have learned about gas turbines and piston engines in general. We don't learn about specific engines at that stage. Much like pilots, we then need to get a type rating for a particular aircraft (usually provided by the company you work for) and that type rating will normally cover all engine options on the type. I am currently doing my A320 family type rating and we cover both the CFM 56-5B and the V2500. There is no limit to the amount of type ratings an engineer can have on his license but it is very time consuming to complete a course and also very expensive if you are paying for it yourself!
+lintdrummer Thanks for the top notch answer!!!
I really wanna become an airline pilot. But I use glasses/lenses so I don't know if it's possible :( +4 on left and +3 on my right eye :/
As long as with glasses your vision is corrected to 20/20 you're fine
✅
How do you do a suitability test
+M Umar Does your heart skip a beat for all the right reasons whenever you imagine yourself doing whatever it is that you always wanted to do? If yes, then you passed.
+M Umar Just google "pilot aptitude tests"
Hi Mentour Pilot. I am 14 years old and my dream is to be a commercial pilot. I have had experiences in 737 simulators and I have also had 2 lessons in a tecnam p2002. However, money is a big factor to take into account. Would it be possible to pursue this career through the air corps and get your licences paid for by the government and then progress on? Since I was able to look up at the sky, aircraft has fascinated me and I am captivated by every aspect of aviation. Any advice to me along with that question would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for being an inspiration!
+Mentour Pilot Thank you very much for your advice! Happy flying! ✈️
+Stephen Daly doubt your going to have your fees paid by the government?
+Alias DMG I was told by an air corps pilot that they do not have to pay for their licences? This may not apply for cpls etc. as they do not train you specifically for flying 737-747 etc. However, I think it's possible to get different licences 😁
do the big airlines shy away from hiring young pilots?
*****
Thank you captain.
if you look at it like this they employ young leading to long term loyalty with the airline
I am thinking about joining the British Airways FPP which is a sponsored program but still requires an £84,000 security deposit, the deposit gets paid back after you have successfully joined BA as a first officer, do you have any suggestions to help save up money to pay this deposit. I am only 14 so there is plenty of time but I know I want to be a pilot
Yeah, I was thinking of doing a job to earn a bit of money and also borrow money from family member like my parents because they work full time so I guess I'm lucky in that way. Thanks for answering questions and making these amazing and inspirational videos.
And taking out loans
Why is it so expensive to become a pilot?
Ok, thansk
*thanks
Thank you so much. What is your name on Facebook please?
