I am only talking for myself and do not represent any specific company, airline or entity.
I'm still a 13y girl who's dreaming to be a Pilot and I'm getting a really really useful information from your videos. Thank you!😁
Mentour Pilot I have always been afraid to want to be a pilot because I suck at math and thought I had to be a whiz at math,very informative video,I want to be a pilot now!😀

Yes i do
Good luck!!! I also want to be a pilot!!
When he said trigonometry my heart dropped
it's better than Algebra Expressions
Trigonometry is a lot easier than it looks. Trust me. Here's most of what you need to know: SOHCAHTOA. sin(angle) = opposite / hypotenuse. cos(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse. tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent. opposite is the length of the line that is NOT touching the corner where it says the angle. adjacent is the length of the line that IS touching the corner where it says the angle. hypotenuse is the length of the diagonal line. I simply memorized it. No cleverness needed.
@@douggale5962 I made this comment 3 years ago lol I do A-Level maths now. Trigonometry now means stuff like
1 + cot^2(angle) = cosec^2(angle) and
tan2(angle) =2tan(angle)/1 - tan^2(angle)
@@thethrowbackguy4319 Excellent!
😰 I dont know any of that stuff. @@douggale5962
Finally i have got my answer !!!!! 😊😊😊
Mentour Pilot my eyes are too week than what can i do please tell me
Mentour Pilot can I have minus powered glasses ?
left eye -3.75 right eye -3.00
me to broo
Omkar sammmee
me right eye it's 5.00 and left one is 0 .25
Dang that intro..... Wow and ur channel is Amazing!!
I want to be a pilot when i grow up..
KavDemon same..... my grandpa is a pilot
just letting you know being pilot is boring job after you do flights you gonna get bored
its not
Future Gamer you are boring
Prepare lots of money for school flight lmao
thanx man.............i really was worried about my eyes.....but now i got relief
The only Pilot who explain everything so well and so simple.. hats off to you. Amazing pilot and amazing channel. Highly recommend
Very informative sir. I am an aviation enthusiast and all your videos, from the oldest to the most recent always give me butterflies in the stomach. Really fantastic man. A million thanks again.
Thanks God! Finally!
I always asking myself about this cause I'm not good at math but I will do my best to become a pilot.
Motivated :)
Thank you!
Thank you soo much I have glasses and it always worried me weather I can be a pilot or not. After watching this vid I got my answer and I'm relieved. 🙂
This is what's been holding me back... I've been struggling with math for pretty much my entore life. I just don't find it interesting. Therefor, I've been so afraid of applying to flight schools because I think I'm not smart enough. I will certainly apply now though, atleast give it a try to forfill my dream in aviation! Happy flying folks :)
Agreed man math is my worst subject
8rboy hey man I’m really terrible at maths in high skl and in low classes I’m afraid I’m not going to be a pilot
Exactly the same thing you just said
maths is needed everywere, no way out.
Yep
Oh man your a life saver! You did say not to base your life decisions on what you say, but now I have hope that I can pilot!
I've always wanted to become a pilot and it is a privilege for me to become one of you but my parents can't afford the tuition fee
Optimus Prim You can't let that discourage you from being a pilot. You may have to wait a little longer which isn't the end of the world. My friend is a pilot and she paid for college and flight school all by herself. She had three jobs at once at one point, simple jobs of course. Like Mentour pilot said, "where there is a will, there is a way."
Personally what I'm doing is I'm gonna do a minimum term in an air force as they give free flight training while you get paid doing so and they also give you flight hours that means it's easier to get a airline job
I wouldn't recommend corrective laser surgery. You want to be able to see runway lights clearly at night. With LASIK, you get wicked glare on bright lights.
These are the two questions I just thought about today. Thanks for clarifying! :)
I'm going to start flight school, you're a true inspiration and this video saved my life xD, I love Trigonometry though.
If you love trig, you're a genius
Yep me too
ICC rules are similar. You can wear glasses to get a CDL, but (depending on your state) your vision needs to be correctable at a certain level that's higher than for a normal car license. And you need to have a spare pair of glasses in your cab.
Tbh, aviation has been my passion since I was a little kid. Often the world can be a challenging place as I was often called different and special. However not in a good way. As while children were playing video games I was studying for any cadet program that would take me. I still am. Becoming an aviator is my one and only goal. Flying is my only other one. I live by the saying "fly till you die" and I will live by it until the day I pass away.

Hi Mentour,
I have the pleasure to work with you and we know each other personally as we work for the same airline. I am a Cabin Crew though.
As a simple contribution to this interesting discussion from my point of view since I am into the training and, at the beginning, I had the same doubt about maths I bring a couple of items.
I hold a post graduate college degree in Economics so I didn't find any particular obstacles in the Maths that a student pilot gets into the way and I am pretty sure that either an average high school graduate wouldn't, with a quick refresh. We are talking about simple conversions, some basic equations (when it comes to study the difficult ones, the syllabus of the ATPL -the final licence- doesn't require you to study them deeply or... demonstrate any theorem for instance), rules of thumb, percentages, operations in degrees and a bit of geometry and trigonometry as you Mentour well explained here above (in BCN airport?). It doesn't take a rocket scientist, not at all.
HOWEVER
My personal experience speaks well now: to be a competent and SAFE pilot, the situation you encounter, ESPECIALLY during flying puts you in the condition to make calculations under an considerable amount of stress depending on the person. Doesn't matter how good you planned your flight on the ground, those simple calculation are sometimes to be done quickly and accurately while handling the aircraft: the flight safety is on stake. So, I recommend not to underestimate that a simple calculation in degrees, or about weight, heading, wind vectors is simple on the ground but can be hell of difficult in the air when you're alone in the cockpit trying to consider whether or not your fuel tanks are enough to land in the alternate airport after holding or the wind vector after a sudden runway change when you're about to prepare your approach.
How to handle it? Well, my instructor says that you save your... ehm... by preparing a good flight before, that's the key. Trying to contemplate every possibility with a good safety margin. When it comes to calculate you don't want to encounter a problem in flight you've never faced before, as you may require cold blood, sense of proportions and estimation skills. So far, this golden rule works for me and it will for you all. Fly high!

In here you've got ALL YOU NEED to know and master about Maths and Physics to go for the whole ATPL (Airline Transportation Pilot Licence) course. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank you!!! I hope my dream to become an airline pilot becomes true.
Here in the US I am pretty sure that there are not limits for eyesight, one just needs to correct it to 20/20 with glasses according to the FAA
Very interesting and well put. In fact, congratulations on a thoroughly good channel, you are an excellent presenter! Through my own flying experience, including training, I have found - and I must stress this is my own experience - that some of the "smarter" guys ironically seem to have a harder time, perhaps for the reason you set out here. One guy, who I never actually flew with but who I often overheard in conversation or heard about from others, was a chronic "over-thinker". He was said to be extremely intelligent and from an IT background, but his analytical mindset would perhaps have been put to better use as an avionics engineer as opposed to sitting next to underwhelming mortals like me. 👍
You have given me hope since I do wear glasses and this is my number ONE fear that airline pilot need to have 20/20 eye sight(wearing glasses). THANK YOU!
I am 14y old and I always wanted to be a pilot. The information you shared is really very useful .Thankyou so much!
In September, I'm starting Sixth Form (UK) and I'm taking Maths, Physics and Geography. I think I have picked the right subjects! Thanks Mentour for this video 😊
Thaaaank youuuuu!! I've been searching for an anwer like that for quite some time and finally someone answered it. Thanks again!!!
Hey Mentour, could you do a video where you show typical calculations that a pilot has to do on a daily basis ? I would appreciate it and it would be awesome. Thank you !!!
Yeah
The nice part of all this is that i am good and really enjoy maths and physics! :D
Congrats to your 5'000 subscribers.
Mentour Pilot I wanted to be a pilot when I was a little girl but I found out that you had to be good in math and science and I said no
Hi I'm 14 and I love aviation! I'm dreaming of becoming a pilot and find your videos so useful. Thank you very much!
I wear glasses and everyone in school has told me that I need perfect vision. I now also know what subjects I need to improve in to become a pilot. Thanks for answering my question. 😀
Love yours vids starting training ASAP recently became you best glider pilot solo in Wales very pleased can't wait for the next step in aviation
I hope u have a fantastic day too..
Yes Petter! Thanks you so much for this video, I have been waiting for you to do a video like this.
Mentour, If I would have had this type of access to resources like yourself twenty years ago, I would have become a professional pilot.
Thanks! I’m glad to hear that you find the videos helpful.
Why would anyone unlike this video?🤨 I love all your videos, they are edited well and are very informative.
Great video mentour congrats on 5000 subscribers been with you since the start.
I just took the pilot aptitude test for United and I had no idea how difficult it would be, I'm average at math and I would have done great on the test if it wasn't timed, but solving the problems with the pressure of the time clock counting down was crazy!! I hope I passed but I probably should have prepared a lot more. Its a tough feeling to think this could stop me from becoming a pilot
did you pass ?
Did you pass?
Congratulations 5000 Subscribers.
i am 16years old and am good in maths and phicics and i am willing to become a pilot
and your videos are helping me. thank yo
The FMC,FCC, IRS,GPS optimized and made flying practical, these computers will do the MATH like Fuel vs A/C config performance.
Yes i have chance to become a pilot!!! Thank you for the information i want to become a pilot and youtuber like you!
that was the complet describe about eye weakness restriction for becoming pilot
thank you
I'm currently 15 and I start my flying lessons when I get to 16 which is another 8 months away. I can't wait to start.
thank you Sir Montour my confusions are now solved
I like physics but I don't like maths😂😂
Andrei Alexandru Bleorțu same😊
I like maths when I can understand it, and that's the problem because I don't understand math
same
I love math but not physics
Breh, I love both Math and Physics😂
thank you for the explaination. kinda made me emotional
Thank you for clearing up everything I was worried about
+Mentour Pilot I already have shared this video! It's just great!
Love your videos ! I just know will help out bunch wanna be pilots ;)
Vectors, simple physic is very helpful
Thank you, it was of great help. Finally found my answer.
Thank you sir. Now I got the answer which I was nervous for.
I am 14 years old Muslim girl and my biggest dream is to be a pilot in the future, the first question I wanted to know was, can u become a pilot if u wear glasses, the second question I was looking for was, is it must to be a math genius and finally I got the 2 answers that i really wanted to know, thank u so much for the video I really appreciate it. peace out!
Thank You! You just made me feel better
Thank you for your videos, true inspiration
Thank you sir! This helped me alot, im planning to be a pilot here in japan. Hope i can make it!!
Mentour u r the bestttt ever seen
Thank you sir. Hoping to become a commercial pilot sometime soon :)
+Mentour Pilot quick question. Do you know any training places i can go to start training? Id really love to be a commercial pilot
lol do your own research man. don't expect others to do the work for you
very helpful and nice video. You're a doing a great work keep it up sir :')
i'm a 16 year old boy and i really wish to become a pilot one day. your information are very helpful.
Thanks for this!
Thanks for your information sir
Phew...... now thats a relief.
Great video, love your work! And have a nice flight ;)
Congrats on the 5,000 subs yay 🙌🙌🙌👏
how hard should i study? im not really great at maths and physics both..
Same
Titanium Balls me too I want to fly so bad but I feel my math skills aren’t there yet.
Rasesh Shankar ikr
U ain’t great cause ain’t studied before
You don't have to be good at math and physics to become a pilot, but you do need some basic understanding. Don't worry, the flight school can teach and help you recap what you've learned. As long as you REALLY wanted to be a pilot. Nothing's gonna stop you, and also stay healthy.
nice advise as always capt :D
Thank u so much, u just answered a lot of my questions
Finally, an explanation for how/when math is used in real life!
thanks sir ,this video is cleared all my fear ...
I haven't seen it yet but I just gave it like.
thanks bro I finally got the answer thanks a lot
I have glasses and I really wanted to be a pilot but everybody told me I couldn’t (this is when I was about 4) so instead I got into horse riding which is still a great amazing thing but I wish I followed my dreams of being a pilot at the same time. Yet I have ALWAYS kept my passion for aviation. I may not want to work in that field anymore but I still like keeping my knowledge and learning more about the subject as it is still a great fun topic to be interested in.
Great video as always. Thanks for answering my question ^__^
Thankyou this helped so much!
Great video !!
Love your videos!
I love you man!😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video really helped relieves some Anxiety I've been having about this subject. I have a 0.50 Correction in both eyes.
Mentour Pilot.....I passed all my PPL Licences inclusive of Group B Mutli Rngine Rating, IMC and Night Ratings for fun in my twenties though I am 56 now no longer fit enough to fly on my own as Pilot In Command. When I qualified as a young 3rd Officer(Deck) before this amongst other things eg Calculus we had to learn the dreaded Haversine Formula for SPHERICAL TRIGINOMETRY for Great Circle Navigation......do Airline Pilots today have to learn this despite GPS and Inertial Navigation ?
My favourite topic in maths is Trigonometry
So this makes me reallllyy happy :)
I'm doing Maths, Physics and Geography for A-level. It has been my life long aspiration to be a pilot so hopefully I can make my dream come true one day...
Thanks you solved my problem
I never considered that eye surgery could be an issue. Of course, there is eye surgery, and there is eye surgery. I'm preparing to get surgery on an eye for a pterygium. A pterygium is a growth in the eye that generally starts at the corner of the eye and extends toward the pupil. As long as it doesn't cover the pupil, they generally discourage surgery, but if the pterygium starts to cover the pupil, surgery is the best option. The surgery is designed to block the growth toward the pupil and doesn't necessarily affect vision. If a vision test after pterygium surgery results in normal vision, I can't see any reason to disallow piloting because there was a surgery.
Don't be too worried about the math, most people can use the most complex engineering formulas if they're done on a daily basis. The scary thing about trigonometry is understanding it, but nobody truly understands all of trig, you just learn applications of it.
love your vids starting flight school when i turn 15
I will to
i turn 15 on the 17th of feb what flight school are you going to btw???
i have a private instructor all planned out for me
DynamicDan right is broke
Life is not fair man.
Sorry when I say 3rd Officer(Deck) this refers to Merchant Navy Supertankers.
Could you make a video discussing the different kinds of ILS/autopilot and how much flying pilots actually do? When I say different kinds of ILS I am talking about airports that only have LOC. Do most major airports have LOC and GS? Why don't airlines fly direct GPS routes instead of VOR to VOR? The savings on fuel and time would be great.
I have a question captain. What specific degree do I need to become an airline pilot and whats the best majors for becoming an airline pilot. Thank you for answer
Well I may not be the answer you're looking for, but getting a degree in something aeronautical related you have a "better" chance of going for the legacy airlines (I'm talking about the US, I, not sure where you live) but you can get a degree in ANYTHING when you're in college. Depending on the college some don't offer aviation programs, but most colleges offer some "degree" of aviation. The best thing to do is look at all the colleges you'd like to become a part of, and research the kind of degrees and if the regional or "mid" airlines (Like JetBlue, Spirit, Allegiant etc.) and what they want in a person and what you need, flying hours, degrees, licenses, etc. hope this helps in any way :)
it is needed to take science course in +2
you answered all of my questions
I'm slightly above average at maths (B/C in UK) but I'm really good at physics and science where you apply mathematics as I got A in advanced sciences at GCSE.
***** thank you sir
Mentour, please give some formulas to help prepare for an assessment :) best regards!
Awesome captain
I love your Videos
Thanks Captain👮✈
Thank you so much!
i want to become an airlines plilot, like for Emirates, and just started watching ur vids.
dude being an emirates pilot is my effing dreeaaaammm
Awesome video. What school did you attend? What degrees did you do? What certificates did you complete? How old are ? Lol I have so many questions because you seem so young and educated !!!
Thank you mentour
Yes sir I will
My dream is to become piolet..I love working in aviation...but I am weak in maths and physics 😥😰😢 but I am trying to learn...does the flying school have a math class???for people like me...guyzz any one knows plzzzz do reply me..
Hi Mentor.
About the glasses.
i did a laser eye surgery. and got a 1 class medical so yay !
About the math thing
this i suck at... but trying to learn. does the flight school have a math class? for people like me?
Yaniv Moas really after a lesar surgery we can get A1 in medical check up?
