The interesting thing with the “trim switch” is it’s split in half. One half controls the stab trim motor and the other half releases the “brake”. And you can operate one half from one yoke and the other half from opposite yoke as they are in parallel. Great vid!
Must be nice having a Channel where there is no end to the videos you can make. To bad your Company dosent just let you show us anything you want. Would be nice to see behind the scenes. Like interview baggage handlers, people who fuel the jet, ect,ect. Takes alot more then a Pilot to keep it all going. Since you explain things so well, this would be nice. Great Video, as normal.
The Yoke vs Side Stick debate has been going on for years ever since Airbus introduced the latter. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to afford flying lessons, so in my late years I have had to enjoy pretending to be a pilot through sims over the last 20+ years. I have gone through a number of HOTAS combos but after flying tube liners (FSX, P3D & now XP) I will finally be changing over to a yoke instead of a joystick. Perhaps for many RWPs it could be the psychological impression of being more in control of the A/C with hands on a yoke that feels more connected to the controls than a side stick that uses computerized fly by wire inputs. It may be the future for all airliners to eventually change to side sticks but I will bet that there are many "old school" pilots who will always prefer the yoke.
For me a HOTAS is all i need, in flight it doesent matter if you dont touch a stick or a yoke, i do all controls over the FMC or autopilot. in FSX i use the Stick only for take off and landing. If you want to fly a real aircraft, here in Germany you can buy "test flying lessons" at some flight schools for 100-200€. Maybe there is is a Flight School where you live, where you can do it too
my favorite part is those numbers you turn to use as a memory reminder, never thought it would be used for such a simple thing as a reminder, pretty cool
I have learned more about aviation In the last 6 months by watching Mentour pilot than 30 years of reading books and 10 years of normal internet. Thank you !!
I love Boeing, why? I don't like the joystick on Airbus and like the yoke on Boeing is amazing! My dream is to be a pilot! I like Airbus a bit cause of more leg room for pilots, but harder to steer Airbus joystick, but I like the Airbus tray tables for pilots, I don't know what plane i like more, Airbus or Boeing!?
Skaiste Gustaityte Airbus is easier to steer. You need to use 2 hand for being and 1 for Airbus. That way the pilots on Airbus can use the side stick and engines at the same time. Plus, Boeing Aircraft aren’t as reliable.
Love your videos! When I was a flight student 20 years ago I was lucky enough to have a flight instructor like you. However, my flight instructor was a retired Lufthansa captain (Heinz Göldner - may he rest in peace) who was a captain for aircrafts starting with the Super Constellation up to the 747. It is great to have a mentor. I admire your work. And by the way, your cheerful and friendly attitude is awesome :-)
Our 737-700NG has the option of a three position mic switch. What it does is, to hold the knob in position so that you don’t need to press it everytime you whant to speack. So one position up to speack outside via whatever frequencie you have selected and two positions down, one to hold it, witch you can also use to intercom between Pilots.
Hello Captain. Thank you so much for this video. I always tried to understand the difference between the Boeing Yoke and the Airbus Side Stick. This was truly helpful. Congratulations once again for the RUclips Silver Button. It's truly a massive achievement. Liked😀👌👍
After 15 years on the 737 i was happy to transfer to the airbus. Exactly because of the yoke. Face it, even on shorthaul flights we don't fly the airplane manually anyway, it is on autopilot most of the time. Much better to have a table instead to do your paperwork on, eat the company provided food (or the one you bring from home) or solve your sudokus. Funny enough, on the newer boeing airplanes like the 777 and the 787 the yoke is much much smaller than on the 737, for exactly that reason. It is in the way over 95% of the time.
Now I see that the trim switches are the reverse of what I thought. I was flying a 747 simulator one time and was having a terrible time trimming out my descent. I was trying to trim it out to keep from pulling on the yoke so much but I guess I overdid it. Getting close to the runway I started hearing "pull up!" and had to pull really hard on the yoke to flare.
Hello mentour, can you please give information about ice detectors and other probes, their functions and the vital roes they play! I really love watching your videos as they are a great source of knowledge! Thank you for everything!❤
As a 737 fan, this is just the best page I have come across that covers all I need to know in detail, yet simple terms. Great job! All the way from Kenya.
Hello capitán I'm a pilot in Colombia (South America) and I Watching all your amazing videos about aviation , everyday I get more knowledge about aviation because of you. Thank you very much for take time to make the videos and share with everyone. Hector
Thanks dear.Very good style to teach some one. Really I understand every thing which you told in this video. I am Kamran from PAKISTAN. I am not a young person , I am 56 years old person , I have capability to learn these type things in very short time. Over all your style is very Good.I like it. Thanks.
I hate to correct one of your great videos, but... The reason why the trim is split in two is to make it less likely to get a trim runaway. You can test that each side does not work by themselves, and in doing that you know that if one side were to ground, you wouldn't have a trim runaway because the other side isn't.
The dual trim switch disconnects both sides of the manual trim motor. As already mentioned it allows stopping the manual trim motor in case one of the dual switch sections shorts Regarding the event of un-commanded manual trim motor operation there is a guarded stab trim main elect cutout switch on the throttle quadrant With respect to the autopilot trim, the autopilot monitors the manual trim motor and disconnects the autopilot with any manual trim motor operation. If the autopilot trim has un-commanded operation there is also a guarded stab trim autopilot cutout switch on the throttle quadrant
Another reason for dual trim switches, in addition to what you stated, is to prevent a single switch fault from causing a runaway stabilizer trim. Something that modern day Boeing engineers completely looked over when they allowed their MCAS design to have singular control of the stabilizer trim without a backup logic to prevent a single failure (stall vane for example... Ethiopia🤗) I might also mention, that when the A/P is engaged, and sufficient fore is applied to either yoke pitch or roll axis, that the A/P reverts to Control Wheel Steering (CWS). In my opinion a dangerous oversight as this happens without the A/P siren and is only noticed, not heard. Something that in training and line operations needs to be more discussed as a threat. I have accidentally done this personally a handful of times in 15 years flying it. So infrequent, but real. Love your videos! Love to see you do one on Vnav. Discuss path vs speed, speed override, programmed speeds and restrictions, idle path vs gradient, etc. maybe beyond the casual viewer. Hard to say.
Just wondering... If Airbus had an yoke instead, could it have prevented the 447 Air France Crash since the first officer kept pulling the sidestick while the PIC was not him? Could they notice this error if that action were noticeable as handling a yoke?
The buttons I think are for the horizontal stabilizers to move up and down on the jack screw in the tail section as well as tilt up or down depending on what the pilot is wanting to do. There may be more just not sure what else. The yoke if you pull back will raise the nose of the plane in flight and push forward will nose down the aircraft.
The podcasts that you make are easy to understand,fun and in simple language and also i love the way you speak!!! I love your podcasts sir!!!!!!Keep it up sir!!!!!!!
The videos in the real cockpit are the best. It reminds you that you are learning about the real thing. It feels like everything is “simulator only” but not here
Good question, we always keep it on though. It’s activated during the first initial flight deck preparation and is then kept on during the rest of the day.
Dutch roll. All these fast airliners with their swept wings and huge fins on short rear fuselages suffer greatly from yaw-roll coupling and many of them would be a pain to keep under control without the damper.
Thanks guys for the answers. Will be doing some research. I only "fly" on my simulator and on all checklists it says to turn on YAW Damper. That's why I was wondering, why it wasn't always on.
nice one. Interesting and informational as always. You got me at "side stick on the side... AAAAND the Boeing has a proper yoke, something to really hold on to". So true. Tactile feedback for the win!
Never thought I would be correcting MentourPilot but here we are. At 04:50 the reason that there are 2 trim switches is simply to prevent a trim overrun. I'm not too technical savy but one of the switch "unlocks" and the other moves, so that whenever the servo mechanichal linkage ruptures or snaps resulting from a trim overrun, the letting go of the other trim switch can lock and stop it from overrunning
I'm wondering; The trimwheels, are they connected to anything driven by something to do with the actual trim setting, or are they just an optical confirmation driven by a separate motor? Also, is the radio/mike switch always on the Yoke at commercial airliners?
The trim wheels are real trim wheels, mechanically coupled to the trim screw and working as manual controls if needed. He has an episode where he explains the trim controls nicely.
Yep the wheels are connected by a chain to a drum below the console. That drum is connected by a very long cable to a drum in the tail which turns the jack screw that moves the stabilizer up and down.
Regarding trim. I am a simple soul and forget things easily. (I'm also Irish...!) I think of trim in terms of rolling a big weight along the length of the aircraft. To put the nose down you push the trim control forwards or turn the trim wheel towards the nose to roll that big weight towards the nose and thereby make the nose go down and the houses get bigger! To make the nose rise you do the reverse and the houses get smaller. Obviously if you go too far the houses disappear and then reappear and then start getting bigger again... Simples!!
Thanks! I'm a 3d animator working on a movie and used your video to properly setup a Yoke for animation. Anyways, figured you'd get a kick out of that. :)
Mentour Honestly you are the best RUclipsr that I have ever seen can you explain about Autobrakes in a 737 ??? That will help me a Lot Anyways as Always I liked Thanks Petter :)
It is connected to hydraulics, similar to how power steering works on your car. I don't think it would be possible to move the rudders only with muscle strength.
About the trim switches. I've been told that the reason there's two switches is incase one of the switches gets a short circuit for some reason, it wont bring the nose down in the ground unless you activate the other switch as well.
Could you please make a video on home flight sim, and how to use it effectively for aspiring/training pilots? Rather than recreationally I mean, like drills things to practice. I love your insights 😊
The seats have up/down adjustments and forwards/backwards adjustments. Also, the rudder pedals can be adjusted forwards/backwards. Of course, the adjustments have limitations. I'm 190cm, and it is difficult to find a perfect position on some aircraft. You may be ok.
Just discovered the channel and I'm really enjoying it. 1 thing i have always wondered is how do you steer larger aircraft when you taxi to the runway. In addition are the front wheels locked into a straight position when landing?
Stalls aren’t a big deal at all, and are (generally) easily recovered. Pilots are required to practice *inducing* and recovering from stalls during training and ongoing recurrency. Commercial airliners are put through exhaustive batteries of tests and maneuvers, including stalls and recovery performance; after certain intervals, repair events and /or major maintenance and overhaul. Obviously this isn’t accomplished during commercial operations, with passengers onboard.
Thanks for sharing Mentour. Impressive to watch.. Something you can control in split seconds .. I learnt something today.. I always sit up front & always wondered what that alarm sound was when landing.. Auto pilot disengage... They should change that noise...sounds like a dive, dive dive call.. We can here it up front.. Scary.. Ding dong..would be allot less intimidating to hear.. Great work & thanks for sharing.
Well, in my Citrabria, it's all "Stick & Rudder" PTT button on top of stick. That's about it. Once, just for fun, got two toilet-plungers, two bicycle grips, installed PTT buttons in the grips, and held "ground-school" simulator-session using two folding chairs in-tandem. Great fun, as we practiced in the FBO. The "observers" even provided engine sounds and radio-static, and pattern-calls, etc. THEN, the flight-school owner walked-in, and wasn't too happy we were having so much fun. Oh well!
+PietroSoft European dialects are different even if using the English letters and accents do kick in, it's okay. We had someone from Akzo group, (remember; Volkswagen is 'F'olkswagen), who would always (mis)pronounce our colleague Vijay'rangam as Fi-je-rangam (sounds: Phee Jey Run gum) (In India, we have such last names/ father's name) it was humourous back then when we first heard such differences (1993-97)
+Nagarjuna N, in very exceptional cases there HAVE BEEN rejected takeoffs past V₁ but before rotation. if there is enough runaway left and in dire emergencies when the structural integrity of the ship would compromise towards worse or already some major issue has been noticed/ say engines burnout or landing gear issues. with smaller aircraft (say: Embraer ERJs or Bombardier) or those with lesser start and stop tiime lags; there HAVE been cases of rejected take offs just prior to rotation also *but that is mostly only when there is decisive loss of controls or such damage as would make the plane un-flyable.* all these discussions and thoughts really took ground after the Concorde incident!
Luckii YT I can't remember who, but on RUclips, there is a video about that. It would be very difficult to even enter, let alone start large commercial aircraft without ground support.
There has been a 727 stolen I think it was back in 2003 and they never found it. There was also a guy that tried stealing a regional jet few years ago, I think he was an ex employee of the company he started it up and crashed into the terminal, there is a security video of him crashing it into the terminal here on RUclips and there is also a video of the story about the 727 that was stolen and never found, try to search under "stolen 727" and "person tries stealing a plane" you should find both of the videos. If I find the title I will post it here. Edit: Found it the title is: "Missing jet airplane since 2003". Sorry I don't know how to copy and paste the link on my phone, but you have the title so you should find it easily.
Here is the title of the security video of the pilot trying to steal a plane: "Delta skywest plane crashed into terminal by crazed pilot". And here is the title for the news story: "Pilot steals plane at Utah airport".
In 2009, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean because both pilots in the cockpit had no idea that the other pilot was manipulating the side stick in the opposite directions when the airspeed indicator malfunctioned. The Airbus A330 eventually stalled and crashed into the ocean. This could never happen with the yoke because they don't work independently.
Kevin P • The idea of independent operation of the sidesticks just drives me bonkers. How there are not Airbus crashes daily, I don't know. I guess the communication between the professional pilots is superb and the left hand ALWAYS knows what the right hand us doing. The unfortunate 2009 accident is testament to when the idea fails, or when ego or some other issue or event gets in the way?
Hello, Mentour, as a plane buff since childhood I love your videos and learn so much from you... My question is why jet engines do no seize up when landing or taking off in blinding sand storms in the desert, yet when the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, erupted in 2010 northern European air traffic was rerouted or stopped to avoid contact with the ash? Perhaps volcanic ash, being finer, is more damaging to engines than sand and dirt particles? I live in El Paso where it's dust storm season now. Today, in white-out sand storm conditions, I watched a 737 landing and wondered how that's even possible considering that the dust and grit get into everything here. Doesn't the sand collect inside the engine components somewhere? Hope to hear your answer... Thanks!
Said the sidestick: "Am I a Yoke to you???"
Citizen Oneofmany nice
Are u a joke😂😂
Yes I Am a Joke To You 😢😢😢😢 😂😂😂😂😂
That is a yoke bot side stick
He was straight to the point, not yoking around
Which button fires the cannons?
That's optional equipment, and most of the time you have to order the new yoke.
I’ll cover that in next episode.
So there's no IDENT button on the yoke?
It's the one right next to the chemtrails button!
I'm more interested in which ones release the chem-trails!
Note: That's a joke, I'm not being serious. People who believe in chemtrails are morons.
The interesting thing with the “trim switch” is it’s split in half. One half controls the stab trim motor and the other half releases the “brake”. And you can operate one half from one yoke and the other half from opposite yoke as they are in parallel. Great vid!

The Yoke vs Side Stick debate has been going on for years ever since Airbus introduced the latter.
Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to afford flying lessons, so in my late years I have had to enjoy pretending to be a pilot through sims over the last 20+ years. I have gone through a number of HOTAS combos but after flying tube liners (FSX, P3D & now XP) I will finally be changing over to a yoke instead of a joystick.
Perhaps for many RWPs it could be the psychological impression of being more in control of the A/C with hands on a yoke that feels more connected to the controls than a side stick that uses computerized fly by wire inputs. It may be the future for all airliners to eventually change to side sticks but I will bet that there are many "old school" pilots who will always prefer the yoke.

Did u get the am i a joke to you from swiss001? Lol
@@thedoeverything418 nah
Mentour: Jes
Awesome! Thank you!
Such a high dashboard. How much do you see above it?
Mentour Honestly you are the best RUclipsr that I have ever seen can you explain about Autobrakes in a 737 ??? That will help me a Lot Anyways as Always I liked Thanks Petter :)
Thank you! There will be more instruments and controls explained soon.
+NICOCRAFT
unsure but i think _King Schools_ guys might have something on it. NOT w.r.t. 737 though.
Hi Nico 😂
Hey Alpha Aviator 787 :)
NICOCRAFT nico!!
The yoke is no joke :) Fantastic as usual, thanks for posting, really informative!
"You're so cool be blessed be safe and be happy all the way,,,,,. 😉🙌😎.
No pilot but love your channel
Are there still actual mechanical links (steel cables / hydraulics ) on a Boeing / 737 Yoke?
Yes, the 737 is still mechanically connected to all the flight controls.
that would require a lot of man to control such a big plane right
It is connected to hydraulics, similar to how power steering works on your car. I don't think it would be possible to move the rudders only with muscle strength.
Can you make a video about Pitot tubes one day? How critical is it when one/both fail?
I love the German pronunciation of Yoke. I know Mentor did a great job pronouncing it, but mostly they will say "joke" :)
Hahaha, yeah.
Normally that's a Spanish pronunciation...I think!
Thank u for that info..Good work
That was a great video and that's no yoke.
I'll show myself out ... ;o)
About the trim switches. I've been told that the reason there's two switches is incase one of the switches gets a short circuit for some reason, it wont bring the nose down in the ground unless you activate the other switch as well.
Jacob Henriksen Yep👍🏻
Really informative ,well done bro 👍😍
Thank you! Great to hear that you enjoyed it!
Very good video
Sorry, I still prefer the Airbus side stick. Great video mentour! Boeing does make rather good aircraft btw.
Very nice video captan
I'm training to become a pilot, and I'm ten years old. Thank you
Could you please make a video on home flight sim, and how to use it effectively for aspiring/training pilots? Rather than recreationally I mean, like drills things to practice. I love your insights 😊
Hi Mentour, I’m a really short guy (163cm) and I was wondering if i could still be a pilot or even be able to see out of the window
Yeah, with 163 you are on the short side but should be ok.
Mentour Pilot thank you :)
maybe they will give you a booster seat,? sorry, that was a yoke
The seats have up/down adjustments and forwards/backwards adjustments. Also, the rudder pedals can be adjusted forwards/backwards. Of course, the adjustments have limitations. I'm 190cm, and it is difficult to find a perfect position on some aircraft. You may be ok.
ImperrfectStranger thank you :)
Just discovered the channel and I'm really enjoying it. 1 thing i have always wondered is how do you steer larger aircraft when you taxi to the runway. In addition are the front wheels locked into a straight position when landing?
Hi!
I have done an old video on that. Check it out!
Hi... thanks for that. Do you know what the video is called.
ruclips.net/video/D3Qoz98dh4s/видео.html
Greatly appreciated. I'm only a few hours into my personal licence but every video helps. Please keep up the good work.
Have you ever been in a stall situation mentour?
But in an airliner, in a Sim and during training, Yes.
Stalls aren’t a big deal at all, and are (generally) easily recovered. Pilots are required to practice *inducing* and recovering from stalls during training and ongoing recurrency.
Commercial airliners are put through exhaustive batteries of tests and maneuvers, including stalls and recovery performance; after certain intervals, repair events and /or major maintenance and overhaul.
Obviously this isn’t accomplished during commercial operations, with passengers onboard.
Thanks for sharing Mentour.
Impressive to watch..
Something you can control in split seconds ..
I learnt something today..
I always sit up front & always wondered what that alarm sound was when landing..
Auto pilot disengage...
They should change that noise...sounds like a dive, dive dive call..
We can here it up front..
Scary..
Ding dong..would be allot less intimidating to hear..
Great work & thanks for sharing.
Hi Mentour. I'd like to know how do you taxi at night. Do you use a GPS or a simple map?
We use normal paper (EFB) maps and looking outside.
A quarter mile at a time. Always with hopes and dreams.
Always wondered but never asked, What is the noise in the cabin. Is it AC or engines. Its cool. You can feel power.
It is a combination of the engines, AC, and from the air flowing across the aircraft structure in flight.
YOKE is much better than Stick :). Great video btw!
Thank you! Great to hear that you liked it!
Not really better one or the other.
Well, in my Citrabria, it's all "Stick & Rudder" PTT button on top of stick. That's about it.
Once, just for fun, got two toilet-plungers, two bicycle grips, installed PTT buttons in the grips, and held "ground-school" simulator-session using two folding chairs in-tandem. Great fun, as we practiced in the FBO. The "observers" even provided engine sounds and radio-static, and pattern-calls, etc. THEN, the flight-school owner walked-in, and wasn't too happy we were having so much fun. Oh well!
Thanks for sharing captain 👨✈️ 😃
Fernando Alonso be like: "This is a yoke!"
Finally! I found someone who likes planes and F1!
Alonso: "Where are 747 and A380?"
Engineer: "Fernando they have been retired"
Alonso: *"KARMA"*
@@aslamnurfikri7640 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So crystal clear in your explanation! Thank you!
Are you sure a 'y' makes the same sound as a 'j'? Or are you just joking?
how would you pronounce it then? edit : how do we pronounce ' Y' OU edit#2 'J' is more like 'DJ' like :" DJoke" if you understand what im saying here.
No, he was yoking...
Mohahaha!
Yoking? 😀
That would be the infamous scandinavian accent kicking in..
More videos like this!! Very well explained thank you Montour Pilot
What happens if the engine stalls?
Check out my engine-fail videos in the Mentour Aviation app.
ATO bottles....
okay thank you :D
I AM GLAD BOEING HAVE A YOKE AND THE ONLY AIR BUS I LIKE IS THE A300 310 THE OTHERS ARE SCARE BUS ,AND TYHX 4 POSTING THIS GREAT CLIP CAPTAIN !
This video has not too many funny yokes...
...I am sorry.
the yoke... sits here, right between the legs of the pilot
Hahahaha
Stenic LL no euphemisms for genitals please :P
+PietroSoft
European dialects are different even if using the English letters and accents do kick in, it's okay.
We had someone from Akzo group, (remember; Volkswagen is 'F'olkswagen), who would always (mis)pronounce our colleague Vijay'rangam as Fi-je-rangam (sounds: Phee Jey Run gum)
(In India, we have such last names/ father's name)
it was humourous back then when we first heard such differences (1993-97)
Spock * I remember seeing an interview of a Swedish gamer and he says "yoking". From context I knew he meant joking.
A video under 10 mins. Thank u.
Have you heard that captain joe is getting an upgrade to B747?
Oh well, he is changing company, yes. If it’s an upgrade you will have to ask him about.
He is asking every day: "what is that damn thing i have in front of me?" "it's a yoke!" "stop joking me!!!"
Alessandro Moretti he is still searching for the table...
oseo943 because of the yoke in Boeing 738-700 engine failed and killed one person- the reason poor maintenance and cheap aircraft
Review Flying so there is a connection between yoke and engine failure... interesting point of View. Or... it’s a joke?
This video is no joke. !
Yoke: am I a joke to you?
Yoke: am I a yoke to you? *
I love this little Insights into the World of Aviation. Besides, the Question "How is this working" is a big one in my life
Wath is V1? Can u make a vid on that?
Nagarjuna N *when you pass it
+Nagarjuna N, in very exceptional cases there HAVE BEEN rejected takeoffs past V₁ but before rotation.
if there is enough runaway left and in dire emergencies when the structural integrity of the ship would compromise towards worse or already some major issue has been noticed/ say engines burnout or landing gear issues.
with smaller aircraft (say: Embraer ERJs or Bombardier) or those with lesser start and stop tiime lags; there HAVE been cases of rejected take offs just prior to rotation also
*but that is mostly only when there is decisive loss of controls or such damage as would make the plane un-flyable.*
all these discussions and thoughts really took ground after the Concorde incident!
Flying my single engine, four seater, with four pistons under the cowling, I always had to be at V1 before I start to think about rotating.
Ok. Now i know wath V1 is. Thx dude u are realy Nice!
If Vr
Always fun to watch these, I wanted to a pilot growing up, but vision issue got in the way.
Is it possible to steal a commercial aircraft?
Luckii YT I can't remember who, but on RUclips, there is a video about that. It would be very difficult to even enter, let alone start large commercial aircraft without ground support.
There has been a 727 stolen I think it was back in 2003 and they never found it. There was also a guy that tried stealing a regional jet few years ago, I think he was an ex employee of the company he started it up and crashed into the terminal, there is a security video of him crashing it into the terminal here on RUclips and there is also a video of the story about the 727 that was stolen and never found, try to search under "stolen 727" and "person tries stealing a plane" you should find both of the videos. If I find the title I will post it here.
Edit: Found it the title is: "Missing jet airplane since 2003". Sorry I don't know how to copy and paste the link on my phone, but you have the title so you should find it easily.
Here is the title of the security video of the pilot trying to steal a plane: "Delta skywest plane crashed into terminal by crazed pilot".
And here is the title for the news story: "Pilot steals plane at Utah airport".
Someone stole a Dash 8 recently
I am an aviation nut and just love this show 👍👍👍
ESS A YOOOOOOOOOOKE
Yes it is!
Great information as always!
great, a yoke. i hate those modern sidesticks
I don't like how the Captain's sidestick and the Co-Pilot's sidestick work independently on Airbus. The yokes in Boeing aircrafts move in unison.
Yokes do seem much safer.
In 2009, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean because both pilots in the cockpit had no idea that the other pilot was manipulating the side stick in the opposite directions when the airspeed indicator malfunctioned. The Airbus A330 eventually stalled and crashed into the ocean. This could never happen with the yoke because they don't work independently.
Kevin P • The idea of independent operation of the sidesticks just drives me bonkers. How there are not Airbus crashes daily, I don't know. I guess the communication between the professional pilots is superb and the left hand ALWAYS knows what the right hand us doing. The unfortunate 2009 accident is testament to when the idea fails, or when ego or some other issue or event gets in the way?
absolutely useful information as i travel frequently by planes and eager to learn flying....
DONT EVER CALL IT A STEERING WHEEL U JETSKI
It's the "Tiller" that actually steers the aircraft on the ground.. no yoke !
@@Biggles2498 yeah i know lol
Hello, Mentour, as a plane buff since childhood I love your videos and learn so much from you...
My question is why jet engines do no seize up when landing or taking off in blinding sand storms in the desert, yet when the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, erupted in 2010 northern European air traffic was rerouted or stopped to avoid contact with the ash? Perhaps volcanic ash, being finer, is more damaging to engines than sand and dirt particles?
I live in El Paso where it's dust storm season now. Today, in white-out sand storm conditions, I watched a 737 landing and wondered how that's even possible considering that the dust and grit get into everything here. Doesn't the sand collect inside the engine components somewhere? Hope to hear your answer... Thanks!
I believe Volcanic "ash" is much larger particle size than desert dust or sand. I've heard it described as similar to shards of broken glass.
