Airline Pilots Use These Small Computers For Almost Everything
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- Cockpit scenes filmed under Part 91 with permission from Envoy Air, Inc… Airline pilots use the FMS, or Flight Management System, almost as much as the autopilot or flight controls. If you're a student pilot or flight instructor, you've probably never used one before, and it's one of the most important things you'll learn as you get started. The FMS is used for anything from programming routes, messaging dispatch, and printing weather reports, to calculating fuel and managing crossing altitudes.
While in some cases we are legal to fly without even a single operating FMS, that's highly unusual and the FMS remains one of the most important resources we have in the flight deck.

What else do you want to learn about jets and flying for an airline? Leave me a comment with an idea!
How do you progress from second officer to captain and the requirements needed for each promotion stage.
Question: Do people give a pilot that's retiring soon or is retiring due to some medical reasons a tribute ?
Can you make episode about checkride, how airlines looks at checkride failures in early training, instrument or commercial, and how big is the effect on getting hired? Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks
An updated video on what your daily routine looks like from getting to the airport to lodging at the final destination for the day. I know you have made separate videos for those, but maybe how it all ties together in one video for a day in the life!
Bidding.
One day I will see you in a larger jet or perhaps in a corporate jet. Something you might think about is a "Meet Swayne Martin in person event".
Yes what a smart guy, he is well on his way to fly the A380
@@chemybamford9919 Unlikely unless he went to the ME3 their is really no path to get their
chemy bamford the a380 is slowly retiring, not a lot of airlines fly it, a more reasonable goal would be a 777 or 737
Thanks for that FMC guide! It looks similar to ATR and different with B737. Nice job! Keep it up!
Long time no see. I’ve missed you man. You’re my inspiration.
Thanks Tristen!
Swayne Martin Np, keep up the great work
I wish the videos were longer but I can’t imagine how busy you must be!! Thx for the quality content 👍
It's hard to manage everything but I try to make it work for you guys!
non-qwerty keyboard layout is evil.
You get used to it.
In fact I’m not looking forward to the day I have to transition to one (most new ones are QWERTY).
You one hand type and the longest words are typically five letter fixed with nonsensical names.
I'm used to it
Totally agree
Very cool content Swayne
If you need a video idea, you can probably talk about things to focus on when picking a flight school for training. Thanks for the content, it’s awesome
You never fail to impress me with your detailed and understandable explanations of systems. Love the footage, while in the air, from the cockpit.
I love watching your videos, Swayne! I have long been fascinated by the inner workings of airlines so your content is much appreciated. I have shared your videos with my father, who also loves planes! Keep up the great work!
You've been so much of a help from when you worked on the caravan to where you are here. Gave me an understanding on what I should to when i get older to work my way up to a airline pilot.
Awesome video swayne. Very informative
You’ve really inspired me to become a commercial pilot, thank you so much for giving you information about airplanes in your videos!
Thanks for the information about the FMS! Always enjoy your videos!
Thanks!!
Awesome vlog Swayne!! It was nice to see how the FMS works on the Embraer. Thanks for the tutorial. How do you guys handle turbulence?
Love the info and insights! Keep up the great work!
Swayne, thanks for the videos! Your work helps me get rid of some of the uncertainty I'm feeling for when I switch careers.
Swayne, your videos are fantastic! Especially for someone considering becoming a pilot one day! I learn so much about the planes and the process of being a pilot. Keep-’em coming!!
Another great job as usual! Keep up the good work!
Nice video on behind the scenes flight management. David Clarks! 2:51 - awesome!
Love your videos..Happy to see you after so many days.
I don't know a channel better than this. Congratulations, Pilot!
Working towards my PPL right now. Your work here on RUclips as well as on Boldmethod have been unbelievably helpful for me. Keep it up man.
TheBoeingRailroader That’s awesome!!
I love the inside knowledge you provide about the career i’m working towards now. You’re a great mentor.
Iker Almasia glad it helps!
Wow, i thought it was bit easy to control the FMS in ERJ. But it is more complicated than A320. Good work bro. Keep learning.
Great Video and information. Thanks!
Never stop learning. You get some great angles
Pretty sure that you flew me on New Year's Day! I love your videos!
That was me that just shook your hand at O’Hare while you were on the phone just a few days ago! Didn’t want to bother you and had to get to my gate but just wanted to say big fan and thank you! Hope one day you can pilot a plane I’m on.
nigel002 Thanks for saying hey! Sorry I wasn’t able to chat more
Swayne Martin No problem. Completely understand. Stay safe
I honestly love small looks like this into pilot life! Well done friend.
Thanks for the great vid Swayne, you're gonna make airline ground school much easier for us!
EXCELLENT STUFF to know!! :-) Hope all things work out the way it should today!
Swayne great video . Thanks for showing how the FMS works .
Envoy is coming to my flight school next week, I will be looking into their cadet program. My instructor has already been hired by Envoy
Awesome production quality! 2 Thumbs Way up!
Good video as always, keep them coming.😎
One of your most interesting videos so far 👍
It's really sad that the video ends
Can't believe nobody's made a reference to the TPS reports... classic movie...
But the main thing I want to mention is about the shot of the pushback with the headphones hanging out of the side of the aircraft still. Different airline last month had an incident where someone forgot the headphones and the regional aircraft arrived at its destination with the door open and cord still attached. headphones themselves, a pax saw it hit the wing and explode during the take off roll! YIKES!
Once again Swayne another well done and informative professional presentation.
Well my morning is made.
Awesome!! Glad you liked it
So much i didnt know about the FMS!!!! Very interesting thanks!!!
Great video Swayne. Already looking forward to the next one.
Very nicely done!
great stuff as always!
I like how you blend in music with your presentation
Nice to see you inspiring future aviators with your videos. I just hope flight school was more skill-driven than money-driven.
Great, informative video as always! Really enjoyed this one!
Need more Swayne Martin content. Keep them coming bro!!
Hey Swayne thanks for the great video and information. This Friday ive got my CFI ride im pretty excited.
Awesome! Good luck man
Always love seeing new vids! You inspire me to follow my dreams! ✈️
Nick Sintora Awesome Nick!
Swayne, you never, ever disappoint with your videos. Very professional, good editing, (I'd like to know where you get your background music from!). Seeing your videos is not just a joy, but remarkably educational and informative. You have a great 'camera presence' and all of your b-roll is outstanding. Loved the L-wing/sunset/rise shot towards the end. It is always a better day when there is a new Swayne video. Don't ever look back sir, keep going forward always.
Crew Scheduler for a regional here. Love your stuff!
Your videos are so interesting and informative. I’m sure you enjoy flying the ERJ. As a passenger, I’ve been on quite a few ERJs myself. They’re great for short hops like SWF-PHL, which I fly a lot. But I once flew on one from EWR to MSY, and it wasn’t comfortable on the longish flight; too much wind noise, and an unsettled feeling, as if it couldn’t maintain a stable ride. I asked my son, who was traveling with me, and he agreed that it unsettled his stomach after awhile. But we arrived safe and on-time, so that’s what counts!
Part of a pilot's job is to engender confidence and hospitality to all Customers. You do a great job doing both !!!!
Well done !
Low time private pilot that will soon follow a path similar to yours…Thanks for all of your content. You answer every question that I come up with reference commercial flying.
thanks man ivebeen confused by this little thing for so long
Big fan of your videos Swayne; I even went back and saw the ones at Mokulele. I'm currently studying for my CFI myself. I'd like to see a video on all of the intangible factors which go into choosing a regional airline that most people may not consider aside from airframe and domicile. All the best.
Once again, a superbly done video! Keep ‘em coming. The information as well as the camera “effects” are very entertaining.
Thank you so much for what you do!🙂🙃🙂👍🏻
Don Anderson Thanks Don!
Good video swayne
I get so excited when you upload a video. Keep it up!
Thanks David!
Wow. That was overwhelming. Lol. Thanks Swayne. You’re the man!
Let’s go.....We got another Swayne vid......so hype
Thanks Bryan!
Really nice channel, i'm sure you've inspired hundreds of people to become pilots with your great content. good job!
I love your videos, congratulations my captain 👨🏼✈️ excellent explanation of the FMS greetings for Mexico City!!!
Awesome! Can't wait to get there some day!
Great video as alway. You represent Envoy in a very professional way with your great videos. Hope to see more cockpit videos. Maybe do a video from going from dark to start up.
like2fly I’ll look into that!
You are very well spoken, eloquent and have an excellent lexicon. Congratulations on your videos, I have watched all of them and have inspired me to continue in my studies to become an airline pilot. Since video 1, you have set-up a remarkable quality.
Daniel Aristizabal Thank you Daniel!
When are you going to make “how to taxi through Chicago O’hare airport? Good vid by the way.
Dev Patel That’s coming soon
Uh... call ground and ask for taxi clearance?
And writing down even the most complex taxi clearances are easy.
Another good informative video, really interesting!
sirjasonakana appreciate it!
You should consider doing a video on the growing trend of lost passenger luggage and what can be done to improve the situation. The inconvenience caused by such unfortunate events on passengers is massive
Thank-you for your information....😀
I use the same FMS on King Air 315. Very easy to operate it.
another great video thanks
Great video! Lots of good explanations.
Thanks Elvis!
Great video. Very informative👍
Thank you!
Thanks Swayne
Very very nice vid bro I always wondered how it works. I never knew that they go so much nice vid the vid was the one I actually waited for nice thx
Just a question. If pilots don’t like the weather they see on their route or at dep/arr airports, do they have the discretion to cancel/delay or is that all up to dispatch. Really enjoyed the video man!
Have a safe flight always captain.❤️
I hope your company never discourages you from making these videos. You represent the business as a calm and prepared professional
Not at all! I actually went through months of planning to make these videos happen. They're all approved and coordinated with the company!
@@SwayneMartinPilot Is United the same?
@@SwayneMartinPilot And you’re my favorite pilot RUclipsr
@@SwayneMartinPilot I’m twelve years old and you inspired me to be a pilot when I was ten so thanks!🙏
The CDU layout if a little different but the software looks very similar to the Dash 8 Q400. Very nice video as always, Swayne. Thanks again!
Yes! Keep em coming
Will do!
Once again Swayne, you've produced another outstanding video! I love following you on your journey in aviation, and stared following since you started at UND. I always look forward to your new videos being released. I will be interviewing with Piedmont on February 3rd, and all your videos keep me looking forward to my career as a pilot. Keep 'em coming! :)
TheInfinitiStig Thank you!!
Hi Swayne, I was just wondering, is it more/less beneficial to have a PPL before you apply for an airline pilot training course or is the price fixed regardless.
Best wishes from Jack in the UK
Great vlog as always my man! How do you update an FMS? CD-ROM. This is all green to me.
Depends on the system. Some use compact flash or SD cards. Some older ones used PC cards or dedicated laptop computers with data ports. The Proline 21 system in my plane uses USB and USB drives. No
So the reason you enter destination and origin airport and flight number is to aid data link between FMS and dispatch? Or is it just for navigational purposes (LNAV etc)?
Superb video!
Keep going..best of luck👍👍
ah, nice! The embraer fms keypad looks long lol
Wow! Captain Joe must be proud of you
Great post Swayne.
Thank you!
Great videos !!
Most of my flying was done without these. Without anything more than a handheld GPS which was much more valuable than the WWII surplus ADF we also had.
I scoured RUclips for a video on FMS and it came up pretty short at the time several years ago when I transitioned to a glass cockpit. Even how the scratchpad and line select buttons was difficult.
But like almost anything we learn by doing. Videos like this really help as well.
Loved that 737 max I saw keep up the great work
Very light brief FMS over view.
08turboSS yep there’s a lot more of course!
Beast of a video! I myself hold the Boeing FMS style you find on the 737 classic series or the 757, 767, 747-400 and all that as the best FMS. The Universal you guys use is pretty cool once you know how to use it though
Yeah I’ve never heard anything good about the universal FMS from any of the guys I’ve flown with coming from Classic Dashes and older Beechcraft products.
I love the Collins Proline series. It takes a lot of getting used to but once you know it it’s very good. It most closely represents the FMS on larger aircraft.
Like the VNAV profiles. All the charted restriction on the STAR are already inputted... we just verify them during planning and approach briefing. The FMS will create a VNAV Path to cross all of the charted restrictions as smooth as possible.. and if we get an unrestricted descent we can do Vertical Direct which will plot a VNAV path at a constant descent angle to a hard altitude we’ve inputted at a fix.
Of course the flip side of this is all these young kids who forget how to calculate a 3:1 descent or an appropriate descent rate to use when on vectors after an open STAR. Some try and use the ILS glide path to guide them.. which means 2000+ FPM on a 90 degree intercept trying to catch it.. then blowing through it and dragging it in at 2000 ft AAE on a 14 mile final.
Did you make sure to put the new cover sheet on your TPS report?
2:09 hello, swayne. What apps are you using for efb and navigation? In a short moment i am going to apply for airlines, and most of my colleagues are using the same apps. Thanks
What an amazing video as usual. Cheers
He was flying to ABE in this video. Nice to see an example with our local airport.
