Passed my medical class 1! One step closer!
You're awesome Mentour Pilot!! Thanks for sharing all of this important information with all of us :)
All your videos are very informative and helpful. thank you so much for uploading them.
Hi, I love watching your videos as I want to be a pilot and this is a great source of advice from an actual pilot. I have wanted to be a pilot since I was very young and and now I'm 14 I think that there should be something to do to increase my chances of becoming one. I have asthma that isn't to bad, would I pass the medical test one and what advice would you give me? Cheers
***** When i was a kid i always wanted to be a pilot, till now i am 17 years old going on my senior year, and i had lots of thoughts on how to get more opportunities to get employed, so i thought that i would do aeronautical engineering at a university then go for my aviation classes as a commercial pilot, what do you think is this a better idea than going directly for the aviation classes , do i have better advantage than others? Another thing i want to ask are the salaries of an airline pilot good to live a normal life or better?(around how much does the salaries go for?)
I really like your videos +1 sub :) i hope u answer me:)
Hi Mentour
Can you do a new video, how to pass an airline interview but more focus on the technical aspects, like questions to expect apart the one regarding the previous aircraft flown, and also what to train to pass the simulator assessment ?
Can you include also in the video How to prepare a proper CV ?
Thank you and keep doing this.
Hi mentour pilot, I failed my class 1 medical on the colour test both the ishihara and the CAD test. They would issue me a class 2 medical but not a class 1. Would that be it unless they change any law at some point if they do or is there a way around it even if it means remembering the ishihara test? I don't struggle differentiating between red and green in every day life as I can tell from the shade of the colour as to what the colour is. I only struggle on the tests
You could get glasses that correct for your colourblindness, apart from that it doesn't look good :/
Hi Mentour! Can I obtain my EASA medical class 1 certificate in a different country (UK) from the one I live in (Belgium)? And can I use it to start an ATPL training in my home country?
Hi sir I have a question, I was involved in an accident at work which resulted in my left hand being crushed. My 1st and 5th metacarpal bones where snapped in two, I had surgery which required screws and plates and a year later had them removed which was last Friday, I'm still recovering but was wondering if you think that would affect me going for an ATPL? Thanks mentour and please keep up the brilliant videos!
Thanks Mentour for the video podcasts. Your videos are very informative & full of information. Thanks once again Mentour
Do you happen to know if Class 1 med. in US translates to Europe? Thank you for your information and time!
Hello, should we do a medical test before we apply to a FTO or should we do a medical once we've past the selection process? Thanks Az
Question I'm a 16 year old and I live in the US I want to become a pilot through airforce. So does the major airlines like military pilots or private pilots?
I know this is slightly unrelated but...
I know a degree will help you in the future and will provide a back up should being a pilot not work out but for most airlines you don't need a degree, but will having a degree actually make much difference as to wether or not you get the job
+mentour pilot , hey, this video as all the others is so informative and your videos have been a great motivation and a guide to me as far as I have been watching them ....
I am now 17 and I want to join an aviation school in spain ,and if you dont mind helping me by naming schools out there as i dont really live there but i googled and i found some , but I would be so grateful if u give me any help or tips to find the best school..
Thank you
Hello sir! I was wondering whether the blood tests for the CAA were done as a 'draw up' (needle in arm and draw up) style or as a venipuncture (finger prick). The reason I ask is because I have extreme needle phobia and the thought of having to have a needle stuck in my arm almost sends me into an extreme panic attack.
It will be a needle stick in the arm. A finger prick doesn't provide enough blood for the tests. I hate needles as well and I have found the best way to do it is to look away and relax as much as possible. When you tense up expecting it to hurt it will hurt more than if you are relaxed. Looking away ensures that you don't tense up at least until after it is in the vein and then it doesn't hurt any more. Just remember to stay as still as possible when they stick you because that will make it easier to get the vein.
this videos was really useful because im about to start my pilot training and im not the most fit guy in the world . so i was a little bit scared of what they may find . but after hearing this i think i will pass
Is it possible to obtain a pilot's licence if you have dyslexia?
are pilots allowed to have tattoos btw?not those huge prominent ones but tiny ones that can be kept out of view?
Hey captein! i was wondering how did the aircafts fly in old times i mean the commercial airliners one..when theere were no FMC/FMS? thanks for your time! why not do a podcast on this topic?
what should low hour pilots put up in their cv ? how should it be formed ?
Do they drug test for class 3 medical?
Hi Mentour Pilot! First of all I want to thank you for this useful channel, which gives us the opportunity to be up-to-date about the aviation world. I want ask you two questions about aviation:
- Is your salary enough?
- Is it best to have a Bachelor's degree to do your job?
Thanks!
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for the answers! You're such a kind person!
Problably I'm gonna make you further questions as you're polite!
Good luck!
Hi. My initial check took about 6 hours, and I couldn`t drive myself back home. They did somekind of eyetest that lowered my longsight for about two hours.
+Mentour Pilot Hello Petter. They are checking the eyesight really good. I think they did like 5-6 different kind of eye test :)
Farting does this happen in cockpit
This is a very important question.
Oh yes, I’ve heard of stories
Hello, should we do a medical test before we apply to a FTO or should we do a medical once we've past the selection process? Thanks Az
after selection obvs
Hi,
I wanted to ask is the cost of training to be a pilot worth the job at the end of it? Also is it even possible for someone from a working class family to find the money to pay for their training? From what I've seen the most a cadet can get from a loan is £14,500 which still leaves a huge gap for me and my family to fund and I can't find any other way to fund my ambitions. I just wanted to ask before I commit to becoming a pilot. Thanks :)
+Mentour Pilot Thanks for the advice! I'll see what the situation is like when I am older as I am still in high school at the moment. I was just thinking ahead
Hi, I was wondering about weight. Can your weight have something to say when you're doing the medical or even while being a pilot? I mean would it be a problem if your weight was slightly below than what's normal? Or even if it is higher than what's normal?
I hope someone can answer me, knowing that this video is a bit old now :) Thanks.
Hi! Thank you so much, I was worried that no one could answer me :) I was just wondering since I've heard someone talk about that pilots need to stay healthy, and to stay healthy, they need to be in the "good" weightclass.
But I will now continue pursuing my dream of becoming a pilot :D
Thanks! :)
Hi Mentour,
I just read online that in order to become a pilot you need perfect or good teeth .i.e no cavity or decay, no missing teeth, white teeth, healthy teeth and gums.
Is this true?
Can I become a pilot if my teeth aren't perfect?
Thanks,
I don't know where you've read that, but it is not true.
Hi Mentour,
How many classes of medical are there? I.e. class 1, 2 etc.
What is the difference between them?
Who are they suited for?
Thanks,
Hi mentour can you explain the rules of singing whistling and playing music in the cockpit is this done ? surely you couldn't sing and annoy your colleague ha-ha thanks :)
+Mentour Pilot hahaha OK LOL :)
I have amblyopia in my left eye and my right is perfect . I might have 20/200 or 20/100 vision in my left eye I'm not sure. What are my chances of getting a First class Pilot's License? I really want to be able to fly aircrafts for Commercial Airlines.
Goddagens! Tack för en mycket bra kanal. Har haft tur som hittat den och nu har du verkligen väckt intresset igen. Jag har drömt om att ta flygcert sedan barnsben, läst böcker, kört simulator osv. Har även sökt flyggymnasium för ett par år sedan, tyvärr utan att komma in. Just nu funderar jag på att söka min dröm och tänkte bara höra vad du tror, tycker osv.
Jag har lätt för att läsa och tror mig ha en bra grund i kunskap när det gäller flygning. Där det kan sätta käppar i hjulet är min höger hand som saknar fullväxta fingrar. Eftersom jag föddes med det har "problemlösningstänket" blivit en del av min vardag och jag har hittils inte stött på någonting som jag inte klarar av. Jag kör t.ex. motorcykel, manuella bilar osv. Inför flyggymnasiet testflög jag cessna-plan, provsatt i cockpit i boeing 737-400 och testade reglage. Ingenting stoppade mig där.
Jag har stöd av ett sjukhus som gör proteser åt mig och jag vill men har inte utnyttjat det.
Jag vill självklart sikta på pilotyrket fullt ut men kan i värsta fall tänka mig klass 2 och ett ppl, om ens det.
Vad tror du en flygdoktor kommer säga? Förstår om du inte kan svara ja eller nej men du kanske vet något jag inte tänkt på? Tackar så hjärtligt för svar och åter igen, tack för en fantastisk kanal. Går inte en dag utan att jag kollar om du lagt upp något nytt. Hälsningar från Sälen!
Nice video! By the way, I have question about airspeed. Sorry for the not related question with this video..Differences bewteen indicated airspeed(IAS) and True airspeed(TAS) in non standard temperature make me really confused. I already read lot of articles about them but they are still confusing. People say IAS is less than TAS as altitude increase due to less air density going into pitot static system. Does it mean that air density does not affect TAS? I'v learned that air density affects aircraft prrformance a lot. Hope your kind explanation..
Hi. How are you?
I would like to know, is wearing spectacles a restriction on the class 1 medical certificate?
I wear spectacles and I want to become a pilot. Other than that my health is very good. Some training courses and airlines require an unrestricted class 1 medical certificate. So I would like to know if wearing spectacles a restriction on the class 1 medical
Thank you
Umar Seedat same here pls answer
Wearing spectacles (up to a limit) is not a restriction but it is a limitation requiring you to wear and carry a spare pair whenever you are flying. Hope this helps.
Great video , Have to do my class 1 in about 3-4 months! Really cleared up a lot of things I was unsure about.
I have heard many people that are not sure about lightningstrikes, tailstrikes or some emergency situations. I think this would be a good topic in one of your videos. I like your channel, it has really cleared up some questions of mine!
Can a little of facial disfigurement that does not curb any of sensory approaches be cause of rejection?
yo big fan here!
a newbie
Hello mentour! I was wondering if meteors are a real threat to airplanes on the rare occasion that one of them reaches the troposphere?
Thank you.
Almost no chance of that ever happening. The only confirmed person to be hit by a meteorite was in 1954 in Sylacauga, Alabama. You have a much better change of getting struck by lightning than a meteorite.
This isn't to do with the video, but is a genuine question, so here goes.
I'm currently 17, and will hopefully be beginning flight training a year from now (providing the medical goes well). I am fortunate enough to have parents that will fund me if I go down the modular route, but not integrated as that is too much for them. If I where to do modular, I would do it all at the same FTO, as I hear that is more favourable when airlines are hiring modular recruits. My question is this: would I be at a disadvantage form doing modular as a pose to integrated? Are airlines going to go for integrated students over modular?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Love the videos, keep them up. Thanks, Lewis.
***** Thanks for the reply :) You just filled me with confidence regarding my future! You're a true inspiration.
i like to beacome a pilot when i grow,,sir do u have whatsapp for sharing things about pilot?
Like these!
4 hours for a full class 1 medical initial? Wow, you've got mightily efficient doctors. My class 2 initial took almost a whole day, 4 hours was just the eye exam. My instructor's class 1 initial medical took 2 days.
+totoritko Mine too took all day for the class 2(and essentially was a class 1). But I did it with the country's military aeromedical hospital. Now I'm scheduled for a Class 1 and apparently it'll only take 4 hours.
Yann Mazzocchin Good for you mate! Hope it all goes smooth. If I wanted to get a class 1, I'd have to travel about 300 miles, so not really motivated for a PPL.
+totoritko it took around 4 hours for my Class 1 at gatwick
Irsalan Ahmed I envy you!
hi if I have - 2.50 and - 3 in glasses can I still pass medical class 1? or will I be at 2?
I m very very important and impressed video become cpl Pilot course please help me
Sir,How much is the minimum weight requirement for the medical test ?
@mentour pilot what A levels u did?
Mentour Pilot ok sir
Captain i have not a bad migrain do they accept me at class1
so many things to learn about medicals
Can you retake a class 1 medical?
Hello Mentour, I' m going to have the examination for the medical class 1 in two weeks and I just wanted to ask you, are the psychological tests difficult to be afraid of them? Thank you very much!
+Mentour Pilot Oh really? So that might be different in Czech Republic, because here at medical centre called ÚLZ we must also pass psychological test to prove that we can work under pressure, handle stress and be quick in fast scenarious so I thought that this is everywhere around the world
that was really helpful...thanks
Hi, I have an unrelated question from the aviation enthusiast side of your viewer base.
How has your airline career impacted your recreational flying?
Do you fly outside of your career? Do you still feel, what I think is normal to our type, the need to "keep going" (i.e. get more ratings, fly more, different aircraft, etc.)? Being an airline captain, do you feel like you've "peaked" as far as aviation goes? Are there things in aviation you aspire to still?
Thank you very much. I found your channel a week ago and I think it gives great insight into the human interest story of flying. Good luck growing your channel!
***** Thanks!
Was an awesome podcast as always, thanks Petter! :) As I'm going to tackle my EU class 1 and FAA class 3 medicals this winter I would be interested in any tips you might have for me so that I can pass the medicals the best way possible. Anything!?
***** Ok, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
As I'm already a holder of a scuba diving medical, I'm kind of used to those tests but still I'm a little nervous and I hope that everything works out ok...
mentour pilot ur are amazing
Can I be a pilot if I got asthma
Depends on the severity
Love your videos!!

_Dude In Hii, I don't know about other countries but in India if you are not rich and still want to become a pilot,You can apply for NDA examination and if you passed that with a good percentage the training will be free for you and you can join the Indian Air Force as a Pilot
Musharraf Satkut . I am sikh which mean i use to wear turban . But to be air force piolet turban is not allowed
