- What are those big panels on the wing?
In this video I will explain how flight and ground-spoilers work. I will give you some technical facts and also some handling tips together with some inflight footage.
The flight spoilers on the Boeing 737 are Hydraulically driven so we will briefly touch on that system as well.
Make sure you watch the whole video to the end in order to learn as much as possible about this crucial aircraft system.
This video is brought to you in cooperation with Simtech Aviation in Dublin. See link below.

I love the clear professional instruction and explanation of the physics of aerodynamics of modern jet flight. Easy to understand and comprehend and you give people a better appreciation of flight.
Having flown as a passenger I always wondered when the spoilers were activated and why but you have answered that question. Thanks for sharing this. After watch many of your tutorials I realize how much education in math is important and the job of pilot is very complex.
Its amazing how much stuff a pilot has to know and always be aware of!!! Hats off to you!!!
Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!
As always, you produce one the most professional aviation videos on RUclips. They are educational and interesting.
He is a pilot
@@User34456 Yep! I know this.
Have you seen all 10000 other video on you tube in the same subject ?? It must take a decade 😂 haha
@@svullo2783 why would I?!
the part about making the wheel brakes more effective was something I hadn't thought of. Well done!
Shukran for the information. You explanation is fantastic, clear, good language use and simplified to the best degree. I am not a Pilot. I am a local driver but I like to hear what the big plane Pilots say about flying those Commarecial objects. Wishing you every success.
I'm deeply impressed with the quality of this video This is an explanation of rare clarity and simplicity of how surface commands work in an aircraft, made by a pilot whose ability, passion and experience shows.
Congrats.
You should put a warning in the title:
This episode contains spoilers.
george cloony
lol 👍
george cloony - That's a good one.
Spoiler Alert! They are called spoilers.
Right, hhhaha
george cloony loll loll
As an engineer interested in aviation, I quite appreciated the additional technical information in this video. +1
You really educate non-pilots with flight infos... kudos Mentour!
The more detailed the better. It’s so absorbing.
Great explanations for non-pilots. Very interesting and clear.
Can't get enough of the technical explanations!
You mean long winded.
OK, now go study your multiplication tables little Johnny. Run along now.
Can you do a segment on the cabin pressure and how it works with the height of the aircraft, and the effects on passengers, ears etc.? Why sometimes the effects on pressure changes seem more pronounced on certain descents than others.
Yes, I can try to make something.
Excellent video. I am a pilot and describing how parts of an aircraft work is a great service. Thank you! Well done.
This explanation helps to reinforce the hope that the pilot is indeed in charge, a visual truth,ie indicative by wing activities... thank you.
I love watching your videos. You have a special way of explaining aviation stuff, which I am sure is a product of your hard work and dedication in the past.. Thank you again for teaching us!!
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to find something on this very topic yesterday. Also, love it when you cover (technical) facts about the aircraft itself :)
vptes1 download the mentour aviation app, in the chat room, they are discussing these kinds of things all the time. the app is free
I already have it! (not like Capt Petter never mentions it... ;) )
Thank you dear i learnt a lot about spoiler and flaps as i always keep an eye on Wing during take off and landing ,
I think it's safe to say most of us here are tech heads. Keep them coming Mentour.
Plane videos are addictive.
Indeed
Thank you learn something today Cap.
Having flied many times and noticed the spoilers on the wing, today with your video you confirmed many of my assumption. Really nice and clearly explaination, good job captain, wish to watch more of your videos.
awesome understanding of those flaps, i just thought they were air beaks. thank you.
great video. I like these more technical videos. Thank you very much.
+Carlos Da Silva Great to hear!
I agree! I'm using these vids to learn how to (properly) fly w/ PC flight sims. Great stuff :-)
Hi there Mentour, thanx 4 this great video.
I know, its very tecnical, but I wish a video about the different speed: IAS, TAS, CAS.
+Rainer Strobel I will add that to the list!
Fascinating, I have been flying fairly regularly for decades now and I have often asked myself what all the parts do. I have always found the feeling of the material working with the natural forces exhilarating but I have never understood exactly what the various aircraft parts do. Thank you for your lucid explanations, sir.
Getting technical is why we are here.
Great video and good level of tech detail. Also would be nice to see the associated controls in the cockpit
Very very interesting -and makes perfect sense !
I like this guy. He obviously has a passion for what he does. That's so important these days. Enjoy your work. It makes it fun. This guy makes it a learning experience. 👍
Thanks Captain Mentour. I enjoyed this video although being a non-pilot I have very little knowledge and understanding of aviation. But I feel that I am learning each time I watch your videos.
Thank you mentour for another, great video!
+Thibault Thank YOU for your support!
Obviuosly the video is amazing as always :D
+Yassine Thank you Yassine!
Very nicely done! Informative without being down in the weeds or up at 50,000ft. New viewer and am a very experienced pax and have been an aviation enthusiast for decades. This video just "hit the spot". Thank you and look forward to the next release.
Cheers
Still very new, still learning basics.....you are a great teacher and explain at my (novice) level. Thanks so much!
Hey, mentour! Can you make a video on flaps and procedures when you have to land without flaps?
+Tommy The Heist Yes, there will be more failure related videos coming soon.
Mentour Pilot can you sub to me today its my birthday
NICOCRAFT I can
Tommy The Heist on the A320, here is what to expect with a no flap landing: right off the bat, the speed on touchdown will be at least 45 knots faster. now we can have a deeper look inside the Bus. for starters, her slats and flaps are controlled by 2 Slats Flaps Control Computer SFCC; one channel each for slats and flaps. commands are forwarded to the powur control unit PCU, which consists of two independent hydraulic motors coupled to a gearbox. slats are driven by green and blue systems, flaps by yellow and green systems.
it would be highly rare to loose slats and flaps without loosing anything else. ok, we'll run full tilt here, everthing, all 4 computer channels shit the bed or a combination of 2 hydraulic systems and at least 2 SFCC channels.
soon as I loose two of three hydraulic systems, declaring an emergency isn't an option, it's mandatory. because now I have not just lost some secondary flight controls. forget about steering, no reversers, degraded handling and slow response to control inputs are just some of the associated faults. remember, F and S at zero is an abnormal procedure. dual hydraulic failure is an emergency procedure.
Well, lets say one of the motors are broken, flaps extend only on one side or gadgets show that flaps extend not equally.. I guess your option would be to land without flaps and then you do have an option to declare an emergency? Because all you lost are just flaps? As far as I know in situation like this, landing wont change much. Only land with higher speed and you should calculate if the runway length is enough?
Really interesting and well explained thanks I like that clear explanation video
Thank you! Im happy you liked it!
Mentour Pilot yes sir and I'm also love avitacion but I was thinking to go to aviation school and that time I was 37 and say my self that I'm a little old to start that and I'm 49 and still feel the same passion for it
Technical? I live for technical. That was a great video mentour. It almost looks like it's done in one continuous take with practically no post production.
Great video as always! I like hot you go into so much detail and make it really easy for us non-pilots to understand.
I showed a friend some of your videos as she was a very nervous flyer and your information has helped put her mind at ease!
Thanks and keep up this great content!
Hey..like your videos...would love to see technical stuff about the landing gear..the tire creep marks and anti skid...good day to you
Cheers!!
+Shaurya Chandel Hi! I will see what I can do.
Interesting
Great!
I love your technical videos like this. Keep them coming!!! Cheers!
Excellent as always,s lovelovelove your vids!!! Thank you so much mentour ;-}
Keep it up, interesting Videos. Would be nice, if you do more about technical things about the 737:)
+Moritz Nie Hi! Yes, I'm getting the sense that you like these types of videos.
I will see what I can do.
Mentour Pilot agreed. I think a fair percentage of your subscribers are aviation buffs with some knowledge of aircraft and aviation in general but love that professional knowledge that can only come from a practising pilot.
A lot of people became arm chair living room pilots just by looking at videos like these or computer flight simulators. I know I could probably land a 737 just by knowledge gained by looking at videos and playing games. So, how many of you would be my co-pilot based on computer knowledge? By the way, what country are you in? I can tell by the window shutters you are in Europe and lever door "knobs". Also, what are the many grades a pilot shows on his shoulders? I know three means 1st Officer or co-pilot and four means "The Man" or Pilot. I have seen as many as five stripes. I watched a movie about an aircraft that had to land on a inactive runway. In many shots of the pilot William DeVane, he had three on one shoulder and four on the other. I'm guessing this was a gross prop error and the costume person was drunk.
Rich Greene if you mean that you can land a 737 by your own, e.g. pmdg 737 then aren't you the only one
Moritz Nie ikjkm
Technical is good! Please continue :)
+Andrea Borgia Will do. I will mix videos in the future with both technical and more "curiosity" stuff.
Technical is good x2
Interesting video. I have two relatives who are flyers - one is 92 and retired, he flew during the 2nd World War and Korea in Air Force Reserves (B-24's and large recon air craft); the other worked on fighters in US Air Force and private license. Now, I can understand what they are talking about. Thanks.
Hello mentour. Go on n thanks for your selfless guidance for such a long time. Gottcha know your moral values through your random act of kindness video!
Best wishes from India
Captain... Would you perform a "hard" landing when there is a lot of rain on the runway so that you could better reduce the chance of hydroplaning?
+Kevin Brennan Not a hard landing but a firm landing, yes.
Just wondering, after having my brake pads of my car replaced, how often does an aircraft need to replace them?
This is a great presentation from the Mentour pilot.Thank you very much.More of these will help us understand certain things in aviation.Thank you once again.
Hey Mentour keep going and keep explaining the wide range of airliners technical features we want more podcasts from you!!
Great Captain!
Would be nice if you could make an explanation about the YAW Damper!
I love how there's actually random dislikes on this when it's not talking about opinions people disagree with or literally anything controversial XD Who are these people who just randomly dislike every video on YT for no reason whatsoever?
ComradeSch? Hi! Great question. I've been doing a bit of very unofficial research about this for several weeks by visiting dozens of RUclips channels. My criteria? Nationality. Ooooh, dear.
Preliminary thoughts: Any channel with a thoroughly 'Merkin' flavour/presenter/style of content is generally well-received. If the presenter is an American woman talking about fashion/clothes/hair/makeup, her channel won't get many Dislikes unless she isn't sufficiently blonde, perky, blue-eyed and busty. If the presenter is a bearded, slightly overweight dude wearing plain, rugged clothes, standing in a workshop or garage, talking 'straight' about cars, guns, how to make stuff/how to break stuff, there are very rarely many dislikes UNLESS the subject is controversial and espouses a particular cause such as gun-control, renewable energy, taxation or immigration. Note: if the workshop has an enormous Stars and Stripes flag covering an entire wall, it's guaranteed to get lots of positive Comments. Channels featuring young US guys doing stupid pranks and challenges get almost no Dislikes, either.
Channels that dare to be openly foreign (featuring, say, Japanese Sumo wrestling or the latest Brazilian plasma welding techniques or Chinese research into disease-resistant rice or Australian snorkelling holidays or servicing South African air-conditioning equipment or making traditional Indian kites or how people in Belgium spend their leisure time hunting Smurfs with butterfly nets) will be heaped with Dislikes for no good reason...
... For no GOOD reason, but for one very OBVIOUS reason. A very sad, old-fashioned reason. Nationalism. Judging by the negative, often hip-slang-heavy Comments, I get the impression that most of the serial Dislikers are angry American youths - perhaps aged 10 to 16 - steeped in chauvinistic idealism, peer-pressure, testosterone, gang culture, and the need to assert their opinion anonymously without suffering any of the usual consequences such as getting their legs broken and their teeth kicked in. That's just a hunch, though.
In my humble opinion, most of the Dislikers are what President Trump would call 'patriots' who cannot BEAR to see that something, somewhere, is popular and good, but not in/from the USA. The idea that there could be millions of fine musicians and excellent research laboratories and ingenious chefs and great sportsmen and talented seamstresses out there (in the 'world', whatever that is...) that owe absolutely NOTHING to the USA is why so many seemingly innocuous, non-controversial videos are given a hard time. It's pitiful, pathetic, and rather disturbing.
So... This wonderful Mentour Pilot channel gets masses of well-deserved Likes from people all over the world - including, please note, from many, MANY good, decent, honest, fair, open-minded, keenly-inquisitive, discerning US citizens - but there's still plenty here to trigger the few full-time disgruntled U!S!A!-trolls/holes who actively seek out foreign content so they can take a dump on its doorstep in the name of patriotism.
Yes, Mentour Pilot flies a wholesome, Congress-approved, US Boeing (yay) and not some ghastly, useless, foreign, evil, non-Merkin, (probably-some-kinda-Communist) Airbus (boo), but the pilot is... SWEDISH! Oh no!
So what if he's charming, intelligent, modest, skilled, respected, highly-trained, witty, completely fluent in a difficult second language; he ain't from TEXAS, bwah, so he's gonna git some Dislikes!
Of course, I could be wrong... But then I'm only English (ewww!), so what the heck would I know about anything, eh? ;-)
@@EleanorPeterson Enjoyed your thoughtful satiric piece.
@@EleanorPeterson So dislike bombed by racists lmao
@@EleanorPeterson That's about right. All a bit sad and immature. *sigh* Excess "nationalism" is ego fragile. Just ignore, like kids passing from school that stick their tongues out.
Good information. As a private pilot who has been flying since 1968 (yes, I am an old poop!), I am quite familiar with the difficulties some people have regarding these control issues. One person I have run across in flight simulation seems to think that using the flight speed brakes is to be used every time when hitting the mark at below FL180 in order to stay within speed limits. As I was surprised in the real world, it is not the yoke which controls elevation as much as airspeed caused by throttle settings. I learned this one time when trying to attempt to get out of the way of another aircraft above me by pushing in the throttle and all that happened was that I gained altitude. Embarrassing.
LOVE IT!!!! I'm applying this to my simulator practice.
Hi Captain, can you please do a video to explain what is a Rejected Takeoff?
Aborted.
Do you feel the wind's force in the yoke/wheel even through the electronic control?
+Mr Me Not the wind in itself but the way the aircraft reacts to it.
Mr Me since the A320 is fly by wire there is no feel in the sidestick itself, we do feel the effect the wind has on the plane itself
There is no force-feedback to let you "feel" how the control surfaces are interacting with the air?
Artificial feel units are installed on some aircraft s. More you pull the control harder it gets and pilot actually feel a hardness like small aircraft.
However I m not sure about 737s.
Every time i've flown somewhere, i sat in sight of the wings and always wondered what those are. I knew what flaps are and i knew about air brakes, but i wondered why the spoilers pop up during regular roll maneuvers because, as an RC pilot, i only knew about the ailerons for roll. I always asked myself why large passenger aircraft have these spoilers. Right after you said they reduce lift, everything suddenly made sense in my head.
As someone who is very interested in such technology i appreciate this video a lot. Thank you for this.
+Andreas Kist Great to hear that you liked it!
Thanks for the spoiler explanation, I always wondered what was going on there
Glad to hear that you liked it!
a few more of these vids, and I'll be ready for my wings😂
please no spoilers Mentour ;)
+Jman Hahaha!
Ive seen a meme about that joke ;)! "Spoiler Alert"
Jman wwen i flew 737 anyti e the speed brakes were used in flight someone had to keep their hand on tne lever so the pilot wouldnt forget they were deployed. also you shoulddmention thr
at when armed they are aur
tomatically deployed when the gear touches down. you give excellent info on my favorite ac to fly
Thank you for the education. Enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you for your professional video which increases my knowledge of flight. Well done Captain.
Hej! During an engine failure landing procedure with single engine operated can you use reversers after touched down?
Garry Wan no because you would go off the side of the runway. i would imagine they would use full toe brake and spoilers though 😁
CrazyHypedGamer that was what I think,I guess I am right. It confused me a little when a flight simmer landed the plane after bird strike in the engine2 but still using reverser 1 at landing...
You can indeed. Also the minimum equipment list says that you can operate without a reverser working.
I'm only a ga pilot so mentour shold give you more precise infos. However i know that reversers for turbine airplanes are not allowed to be used as a reference for runway lenght calculations. It meas that theoretically you should be able to stop and have a safety margin of runway even without reversers. Is it correct @Mentour ?
+Garry Wan Yes but only on the engine that is still working.
it would be nice if u would do a video showing us the different levels for the golden stripes on a pilot's shoulders
Ahmad Ramadan they dont mean nothing really. Every airline has different meaning behind the stripes on the eppaulets.
Ahmad Ramadan its 2 for a second officer 3 for a first officer and 4 for a captain.
CrazyHypedGamer ok thx
Ahmad Ramadan some have silver stripes too
W
Great video again!! A video on flaps would be great, I want to understand how pilots use the flaps with the different speeds... love the technical stuff!
I had the spoilers nearly figured out through observation and basic understanding of air deflection, except for one thing: making the wheel brakes more effective. That never occurred to me. So, you've taught me something today. Thank you.
I Will be flying tomorrow to Arlanda Stockholm
And I'm flying home tomorrow, Rome, Italy
+TheSpodder Enjoy!
+Raidzor つ ◕_◕ つ Fly safe!
I'm flying to Arlanda the 19th
I found this depressing :-(.
It was depressing to see a foreigner (German?) speak English far. far better than I have ever managed to speak my poor French and moderate Spanish. That aside, it was a brilliant presentation; clear, relaxed and easily understood, with the presenter more concerned about instructing well, rather than, as some instructors do, showing off how clever he is, Top marks, thanks.
Thank you! (I'm Swedish :)
Jay Igaboo ur depressing me
English is the language of flight. He has probably spoken English for at least 10,000 hours
many European school children begin learning other languages at 3 years of age. A lot easier than waiting until you're in middle school, like many school kids in the U.S.
Jag tror att han är svensk inte tysk
Hey Hi!
Becoming a pilot was my childhood dream but I did not belong to an affluent family and hence that never came true. I would read the encyclopaedia and make gliders out of wood which would then turned into water plane and glide in water. Your channel helps me live my childhood dream and gets me all my memories back.
I love this guy. He can really teach.
My plastic student pilot certificate came in today
Congrats well that's my dream
thanks captain .. wht about turbulence :P
I have made a video on that to. Check it out
i searched but no gain.
Thankyou for the technical side of things. I watch these to learn and finally a series that goes in depth. Great stuff. Goes without saying that I've subscribed and have the app as well.
One of the most interesting videos I've looked at so far. I am fascinated with flight. I actually understand everything you talk about... Your a great explainer...LOL!
Air brakes
Yes, among other things.
Do you ever wish to collab with Captain Joe?
I’ve been to simtech in Dublin a few times now, great bunch of folks working there!
I love your videos Mentour! This one was very interesting, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Greetings from Spain!
Hi mentour,
Do aircraft have horns?
+Prathiksh Shetty That's a great question, I might do a short video on that!
Mentour Pilot 🖒👌
Prathiksh Shetty They kinda do. They have a chime/beep to get our attention on the ground.
Prathiksh Shetty not the typical one you would have in your car. if the A320 doesn't get the right TLC from the pilot, she will bark at you
Prathiksh I thought you meant horn balance on flight control surfaces so I guess that dates me! Ha Ha!
spoiler alert...
Damn It.
Again, Mentour another excellent and very informative video. These are questions that aviation enthusiasts and PPL pilots wonder how professional pilots train, and fly the airliners of today. I look forward to watching and learning in your next video. Thank You! Be Safe!
really well explained, I like that you went in detail and a bit technical even tough I'm not training, just an enthusiast! thx 👍
One of the best youtube channels. Keeps me motivated during training. Keep up the good work Mentour.
Happened on to this RUclips series and find it VERY interesting. We fly a lot and have learned so much form the videos. Thanks.
Great video!!! Thank you!
Both you and Captain Joe are the 2 BEST pilots on RUclips!
That's what I desire for. I'm really looking forward to having more this sort of video.
Very cool to understand this. I actually am very fearful of flying, and this helps me digest the process and perhaps get back on a plane again. It's been four years!
You're an amazing teacher.
Amazing video Captain! Really enjoying the more complex vlogs!
Thank you! Thats the feeling I am starting to have. I might do more of these.
Brilliant explanation. Thx!
Thanks for the answer:) I'm a window seater so I always see those flaps go up on landing.
Well said. Good job explaining everything.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it!
So nice to see videos made by someone who knows that it's "seven-three-seven" and not "seven-thirty-seven." Lends credibility to everything else you say. It's also great to see a European who doesn't hate Boeings. :P
I love your explanations....
love your videos as always sir
you are my real motivation !!!!
thank you
Thanks always you give us pure knowledge, about aviation. I can see you really love ur job to much as u explaned every little details.
Very well explained and thank you for explaining in such a simplistic way..........you are a good instructor!
Your videos are all amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
