10 THINGS you should know BEFORE becoming a Pilot!

- Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
- In this video, I'll be sharing valuable insights about the life of a pilot. From enjoying layovers with a great crew to dealing with the challenges of a demanding schedule, I'll give you a glimpse into this rewarding profession. Being a pilot can be physically and mentally exhausting, but maintaining a positive attitude is crucial. It's also essential to be passionate about aviation, as becoming a pilot involves a significant financial investment. Staying fit and healthy is a priority, and wearing a uniform simplifies life on the job. Flight tests and examinations are common, so getting comfortable with evaluation is necessary. Flexibility is vital, as pilots often miss weekends and holidays due to changing schedules. Remember, love the job, not just the airline you work for. I hope you find these insights valuable.
Join me in the cockpit of the Airbus A330 to this full rotation to Orlando USA and have a look whats it realy like to be an airline Pilot.

Nothing is going to stop me from becoming a Pilot.
Same too
@@bahaviation2070 Let's get it done
That's the mentality you'll need
That’s the motivation 💪✌️
Us
Being a Student Pilot, I liked that you mention the point of enjoying the journey of becoming a Pilot , and not rushing it ... Have Safe Flights ✈
I’m also a student pilot and I was thinking the exact same
It is so important! Enjoy your ride guys 🙌✈️
@@Pascalklr Thanks!
Starting academy in april! so close and so excited! definably will take this advice :)
I will be a pilot no matter what!
I love that you mentioned getting used to being tested. I am in the process of becoming a pilot and the amount of testing is incredibly daunting.
It's definitely going to be part of your life from now on 🛫✌️
I have a question for you, what subjects should I be good at to become a pilot, and how much will it cost me? I am just in the middle school but I have some ambitions since i was young.
@@mike-yd5fvcost for me is 55k for all my licenses up to commercial. If you go to college it’s about another 60k or so
@@mike-yd5fvmath and physics, don’t gotta be a genius but study those to know and gain knowledge in them :)
@@LEKSANDER01any particular gpa needed ? Do aviation schools for certification care much about gpa ?
As a young person (11) who wants to be a pilot since I was 6, this motivated even more! Nothing is stopping me! Even if my friends say “Man, you’re gonna get Jet-lag, considering you’re in New Zealand”, HA! No.
Get it lil dude, soar like a bird 🛫
I’m a CFII and I still get incredible test anxiety for even the slightest “exam”.
Story of our lives 🛫
I am a truck driver in the US but grew up wanting to be a pilot. I enjoy trucking but I can see many similarities between the flight life and the driving life. I had days driving where I was doing long hours without many stops and other times where I had tons of stops in a short time. Both are very exhausting!!! Thank you for the advice. All the information is very useful.
Ima trucker too- and about to start aviation training
@@kennethstewart9278I’m a truck driver and I quit that crap. I’m about to take my physical tomorrow for my medical for aviation.
I'm an electrician that works as a sort of 'gun for hire'. I'll drive out 500 km at times just for a job that'll take a week, tops. Life would be much easier flying to my destinations and dropping off materials (which are sometimes in remote areas).
@@assassinaria can you be a little serious? Lol
@@miguelrobb5719 how was he not being serious? 🤔
After 19 years in the airlines, I can say this guy has some of the best advice and insights about the life.
If you don’t mind me asking how much do you make?
It's nice to see you hand flying and using manual thrust in an airbus! Most pilots don't ever show themselves flying in a "10 things you should know before becoming a pilot!" Good video
Probably because i'm coming from the 737 where manual thrust was standard!
Thank you very much! ✌️✈️
@@PascalklrYou didnt't get warning A/THR OFF? Or you disconneted by red button on THR
@@Pascalklrmaybe because autothrottle sucks?
I'm your subscriber from South Korea. Thank you for all these wonderful informations! It will be a great help for my dream
Thank you for sharing this video! I’m in university right now, and have a lot going on, but I would really like to start flight school next year and become an airline pilot.
The quality of your videos is soooo good!! I feel like I’m watching a channel that has millions of subscribers. Your content is truly inspirational 🤩🤩
Thank you so much!!! That really means a lot thanks 🙌
Congrats on becoming a commercial pilot. I dodged all the costs by joining the RAF after leaving school at 18. Pay wasn't brilliant but the airforce paid for your training! Enjoyed my time flying the F4 Phantom and the Tornado that replaced it. Many of my contemporaries ended up with the airlines but after flying fighters for 11 years that didn't appeal to me! Bought myself a little Cessna to flog around in (at considerably less speed...) but it's still quite a laugh. Enjoy the bright blue yonder!
Are you able to join airlines from the raf because I don’t think I could afford flight school
By all means apply for flight training in the airforce. If your ultimate intention is to fly commercials your best bet is to be streamed onto the 'heavies' rather than fast jets. Being qualified to fly multi-engined turbojet or jet aircraft will prepare you much better for large commercial aircraft. Good luck with whatever route you take!
another two key things:
The log book, training record and incident/accident reports, if any, start to follow you once you begin the very first flight that means how many hours you needed until the 1st solo, how many times you needed to pass the re-checks and etc..., which airlines might ask when you applying the jobs, so keep it in mind.
and can you always be positive towards the mistakes you made or how can you recover from the failures you had in a reasonable time? that's crucial through this career.
Good points Tim! When you apply for a new job airlines want to know everything… so in aviation it’s impossible to hide something, everything is recorded!
Have a good day mate ✌️
@@Pascalklrthat's reassuring
Really great information! Thank you brother
Awesome video! Thank you 😊
The Omega Swatch looks fantastic man! 😎👌🏽
i never knew what i wanted to do with my life as a highschooler. Suddenly, a couple days ago, i just got really really really into becoming a pilot, and laid out a detailed intricate plan to becoming one. It may not be set in stone, and I do not want to force myself if I do no want to do it some day in the future, but right now, it is whaat i want for sure, and i feel like that will stay pretty consistent.
Just watching these kinds of videos, being a pilot, and aspiring to become one, knowing that I can never achieve the same because of how hard life is, sucks and hurts. But that's life. Have a safe flight, sir.
Really really nice video with a lot of motivating and interesting contents.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Becoming a pilot sounds so cool! Im definitely gonna study hard to become a pilot
Hi Pascal, thanks for this video of 10 Things you should know before becoming a Pilot. Seems like every career has it's good parts and hard parts as well. Thanks for all of the great views from the cockpit windows and also the landing in Florida as well as the landing in Frankfurt. Your command of English is great, did you study it throughout your school training? I'm sure it comes in handy when traveling to English speaking destinations.
Thanks Ben, yes I had English throughout my entire school and then I did some exchange holidays. 🙌✌️
What an incredible storytelling you have mate. Good job!
Thank you 🙌
You are a badass dude!
You are smart and I wish you a very bright career.
Keep working hard and have your positive attitude and you WILL go far
Thank you🙌
hi pascal , dilano here from south africa. i am just about to start flight school , i’m so excited for the journey ahead and your point on enjoying the flight training and experiences you have before the airlines is something i will remind myself to take note of and enjoy
That’s awesome Dilano! Enjoy each and every step on your way. Difficult days will come but always remember it’s worth it 💪✌️✈️
Excellent content, love it! and liked it!
Thank you very much mate ✈️✌️
Your streaming is PHENOMENAL. You are showing the pilot real life, not just what they have to do in the cockpit, but showng pilot life far a way from the cockpit. You are naturally showing, talking the naked tru pilot life in reality. It is friendly, signature streaming, and it is you. VRB SR60 is my hometown n I love it. Many new student pilots studying and flying above VRB.
Your enthusiasm being pilot is outlined. Personally I'm long time sim pilot since been 90" MSFS DOS version. I'm not much of Subscribing chanels, but now I'm happily subscribe your channel. The system review allowed people to give maximum 5* (stars), but I marking 6***** + *. Thank you for your enthusiasm streaming's. -Leoatvb.
I dreaming of being an a330 pilot just like you Pascal! Thx for these tips! 😊
Thank you Pascal. LOVE THE JOB NOT THE AIRLINE.
One other thing that one should know, which was not mentioned, is that airlines can compulsorily post one from one base to another. This can massively disrupt one's life in many ways.
Depends on the Airlines you're working for... some can do it unfortunately.✌️
Great Great content, many thanks for your effort sir!
Glad i found you the pilot i used to get inspriration from stopped posting
I find your videos very interesting. Love your accent too mate.
Greetings from England.
Very nice video. Liked it a lot. Very smooth explanations :-)
Thanks Haike ✌️
I had to watch this video again after watching this last month. Still deciding if this life is meant for me
Currently a truck driver and I’m thinking about getting into this, I like what I do but being able to fly a plane is next level.
Me too
How old are you currently? I always worry about my age factor and being from another profession. At 29 years old now and working in investments since I was like 20 I do worry about the costs of flight school, leaving a stable job that I have been at for 9 years and possibly the low wages of starting out as a pilot. I'd still have to take out a lot of financing to pay for flight school unfortunately.
@@loganroodt818 I’m 25
Nothing will stop my dream of being a pilot
Thank you This has really helped as I am an aspiring pilot! 👨🏽✈️ 😁
Thank you, that means a lot 🙌
I am actually a software engineer interested to the flying content with no reason 😅 But your video is great and you have your unique opinion of your job! I may not be a pilot in my life but I will rooting for you 🛫Support from Japan!!
Really nice to see you in action, and you definitely have good skills in editing.
Thank you very much, i highly appreciate it! 🙌✌️
i just started flight school and im really enjoying it!! thank you for the motivation!!
Good luck!
That means a lot, THANK YOU and enjoy every step always remember 🙌✌️🛫
@@Pascalklr haha yes!! I am enjoying every step so so much
❤❤
6 tests, one for each topic in ground school, then a final test with all topics combined. 1 pre test at my academy for the written, then the written...2 pre checkrides at my academy, then the actual checkride. All to get my PPL.
The amount of tests is no joke, but absolutely necessary.
You’re landing was beautiful
What I can say is, that you will have to learn till the end of your career. Lots of learning, reading Manuals reading amendments!
Regarding n5 😅
You can help yourself try to be a Cabin Crew and start to work, earn money, and ask for off-period where you can concentrate yourself for training (or earn all money necessary for a full integrated ATPL and enjoy the training process without gaps) . Like I am doing, and my training process is doing well.
Suggestion before search for a fly accademy, is it better before to achieve a first medical pilot class that can determinate your process.
Enjoy Cabin Crew before being a Pilot can be a good step to find a job """easily""" with your company!
I suggest to every person dreaming to be a Pilot to stop dreaming only and work on it.
I usually say : "Everything is possible in this life, because only the DEATH can close the doors"🎉
Enjoy your progress, guys!
Nice flying skills
and I really dont hate long times like I agree the point to enjoy views its worth it for money
Great videos, cheers !!!
I would like to know more about the shift of an international flight pilot and how you deal with the constant jet lag.
Sucess.
Future Pilot here! Starting next year!! Great vid
Oh please this just makes me wanna go harder🤝🏽
Thank you so much for this❤
Thanks for watching 🙌
INSHA'ALLAH I'll be a pilot one day❤
yes inshallah i wana work in emiraes or etihad or qatar airlines
Inshallah
yay you flew to my home airport!
Im Namibian 🇳🇦
Love your content
I HAVE TESTED THIS AND THANKS🤟
Amazing I can’t wait to get started and be apart if something so amazing 👩✈️✈️💖
It's going to be a different life but in my opinion the best life you can live 🙌🛫
I’m about to graduate from college then go to flight school next year and am so blessed my family has the finances to pay for flight school
That‘s great to hear! Enjoy every second of it 🙌💪🛫
Interessant, dass mir das gerade jetzt vorgeschlagen wird...
Wir haben uns 2020 gesehen, du hast mit mir und einem Freund ein Foto gemacht, damals noch in TUI Uniform (Pilot Expo in Berlin). Mein Plan zu der Zeit noch, 11. Klasse fertig machen, an der EFA bewerben, Auswahlverfahren hoffentlich positiv durchlaufen und ein Jahr später nach dem Abi an der EFA starten. Dann wären meine zwei Jahre Ausbildung im besten Fall so ziemlich genau jetzt rum. Corona hat da n bisschen einen Strich durch dir Rechnung gemacht. Dann war ich nach dem Abi ein Jahr bei der Eurowings in der Kabine und jetzt stehe ich wieder da, mit Klasse 1 Medical in der Tasche, positivem DLR, erfolgreicher Bewerbung an der EFA und wenige Tage vor meiner GQ in Hamburg.
Btw. bei der EW hatten wir die Möglichkeit alle 10 uns zustehenden OFF Tage pro Monat zu requesten wie wir wollten. Während die anderen sich aufgeregt haben, dass keine OFF Requests durchgehen habe ich nahezu jeden Tag bekommen. Smart requested;)
I’m now a pilot! Captain next step for me yay
This video motivates me to be an airline pilot
Hi pascal this was a amazing video I can tell that you are putting a lot of your time and effort into these wonderful videos and I can see that because this video was so entertaining and the way that your explain everything in detail is very useful because I am learning a lot of things from watching your videos and also I love watching your videos just keep up the hard work Pascal and also I have a maths question that I am struggling to find a easy way to solve is it possible if you can help me with this question the question is :You are walking on a bearing of 32 degrees. You turn left 115 degrees and continue walking forward. You then turn right 46 degrees. What is your final bearing? The Answer options are 193,231,101,323 I think the answer is 231 degrees you have to count every single degree in increments what is the fastest way to do this kind of question.🙌✈️❤️👍
As we all know, a compass has 360 degrees. We start at 32 and turn left 115 degrees. This means, we have heading -83 or 277. 46 to the right means +46, therefore we have 323.
Hi Pascal, Great Video once again!
I’m a Namibian doing my flight training in Europe, and I see how much you love Namibia so maybe sometime we do happen to be in Namibia at the same time, I can take my time to show you more of Namibia. Great video once again and happy landings!
Thanks mate! That would be awesome! 🙌 Where do you do your flight training?
@@Pascalklr FTE Jerez in Spain!
Beautiful video Pascal
Thank you 🙌
🙌
I love your job❤😊
FUTURE FEMALE PILOTS WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Got to save for 5 years first. #saynotoLOANS
HELL YEAH
No you Cant
@@edo_v2797😂
Yeahhhh (I am a man)
Great video
Nice watch!
Great vid
Thank you
1. the destination isn't always the key to a great layover.
2. Don't rush everything
3. Long flying days can be exhausting for your body.
4. Being a pilot can be very rewarding
5. the cost of becoming a pilot
6. How difficult it is to stay healthy
7. Get used to being examined/tested
8. You are wearing a uniform
9. The schedule is your life
10. Love the job not the airline
The journey is the destination.
I dream of going on a flight your flying one day and doing an on board review and exterior shot of you taking off 🤞✈️
nice video
It is my destiny to fight for my dream,and becoming a pilot is everything to me.
Mega Video! 👍🏼
Thanks 🙌✌️
I’m in Australia, we probably have the best set up here. I’m interested in becoming a pilot and the cost ranges from $85,000 - $170,000 Aud and we have have multiple government loan set ups 1 of them is called VET loan and they offer up to $121,000 for aviation and there are other ones as well that offer more. Anyway you don’t have to pay that back until you start working and are earning over $52,000 Australian government are here to help students 🙌🏼
I`m so glad i discovered your channel - You a very charming dude.
Thank you 🙌
can I turn on auto pilot and play brawl stars?
I dont think so
U dont get wifi up there
Umm Girl what?
Hello, I am student pilot right, hoping to get on an airline as young as possible. How old were you when you got on with your airline, and did you struggle getting hired purely based from your age? (Assuming you had sufficient flight hours) Also how many years have you been flying for, and how many pilot in command hours do you have?. Thank you!
This video motivates me to be an airline piy
My dad works as airline operation control center manager and if I become a pilot, I bet he will be pretty happy with my achievement.
Butter landings dangggg
Thank you for the video, that helps me on my dream way of becoming an Airline Pilot. Nice Landing in Frankfurt! Did you have all your Flight Training at EFA?
Thank you very much mate! Yes i had all my training with EFA. Have you applied to a flight school yet?
@@Pascalklr No, i didn‘t have applied to flight school yet, because i‘m too young at the moment.
But I am thinking about making the glider-license. Can you reccomend EFA? Why did you choose EFA? What is your favourite destination?
Great video. Some different points to what other pilots have on their youtube channels which I really like 👍
Hi can you make a video about tips and tricks to find a new job, and things that can make a low time pilot most likely to be accepted in the company. Just passed cpl ir me and finding a job seems so competitive!! Thx
It's definitely noted, THANKS✌️🛫
@@Pascalklrwell, quick update.. just got a job 😀😅 two companies accepted me
You can place all other limiting factors aside but cost is always one thing that is preventing many out there from becoming pilots.if only there was a way to reduce the cost in the near future
The cost is really much.
But i got an ideea for me idk if it will work but i want to go to wizz air academy and i play like 13.000 Euro firstly then wizz air pays for your training and after 30th month you pay the money back every month and until 30 month you should already work for them and you just pay the rent.
That is my ideea idk if it will work but i need to get 13-14000 euro in abt 4-5 years
@@Vedrox115 well that sounds like a good plan. You can't really tell if it'll work till you get there or maybe you know someone who's been through a similar phase
@@kwasisb5390actually from my relatives ik someone who is pilot at wizz air and probably he went at the academy but ill see when ill be there tho
That’s sounds like a great idea, have you checked out air baltics program? I not sure but I think they offer something similar ✌️💪 all the best for you guys ✌️
@@Pascalklr thanks
hi pascal I'm a 17 year old filmmaker/photographer and a budding pilot; and I'm loving your videos! just wanted to ask; how did you fund your pilot training? and did you go to uni or no?
I have same question
I wanna know too
6:48 I like that 66 ford
My mom introduce me to the pilot stuff and since then I am determined to be a pilot
U got a new sub
Just wondering if you will ever post a video of flying to calgary!!
Someday I guess, need to film something there first 🙌✌️
I want to be an airline pilot, but I'm only 14 now, and I'm afraid that by the time I get to the point you're at, it will be all computers, and there will be no real challenge or excitement coming with this job. My other option is military aviation, however I don't think I want to be restricted by that life. I would hate to have to give up my dream.
The uniform part was my favorite part.
All I could think about for a few seconds was "polyester?" Can't go wrong w/ 100% cotton; especially in hot; humid weather.
Early squad! 💜
I'm moving on from a long haul truck driver going to flight school to be a cargo pilot, these 10 things are pretty much the same as truck drivers. Good luck to everyone
I’m a truck driver and I been thinking about being a commercial pilot
What happens after ATP? How do I get a job? How do I know where to move? How do I gain flight hours?
I can agree with the sunsets in Namibia because I'm from there😅
Just stunning 🙌
Hello pascal, this I just subscribed the channel looks amazing but i have a question
With which airline do you work?
Welcome mate, glad you found your way! I'm flying for Eurowings Discover 🛫🙌✌️
This video makes me so excited for my journey to become a pilot! I am going to start training soon and this video really helps inform me about my decisions (i'm 15). Since you are a pro pilot, i had a little question in mind, do you think pilots will be needed in the next 10-15 years?
As a 14 year old who also dreams of being a pilot I'm happy that I found other young people that love this too. A lot of airlines are building their fleets faster than ever and as planes are evolving it's becoming a faster and better way of transportation. So yes, I believe the demand will still be high or even great in the coming years
That's so nice to hear! Thank you.
Yes i do think pilots will be needed the next 10 to 15 years! ✌️✈️
I wanted to be a pilot when I was a child. I become a truck driver instead. Pretty much same job. Just one in the air and one on the ground. I'm very interested in becoming a pilot now. After 11 years of being a truck driver its time to retire from the road and take my career to the skies now.
Odd comment …but your landing was perfect …. Right on the markers
