What It's Like To Fly An EMPTY Jet | Airline Pilot Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- Filmed in partnership with Coradine Aviation - LogTen Pro, who made this production possible. As an airline pilot, I occasionally get the chance to fly empty repositioning flights. There are big operational differences and special flying techniques used when the jet is empty. I love a plane full of passengers, but it's pretty cool to see how this jet takes off like a rocket when it's light and empty. If you've ever wanted to become an airline pilot, flying empty legs is something you should look forward to!
When I was building flight time towards my ATP certificate, I used an electronic logbook called LogTen Pro. Tracking my progress towards meeting the numerous ATP requirements was incredibly easy with the software, and it synced to my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I'm still using it today to log all of my flights as an airline pilot. I partnered with Coradine Aviation so that you can try it out yourself.

Flying repo flights is one of the most unique parts of my job. What else do you want to learn about becoming an airline pilot? Leave me an idea below!
Can you play music while in flight?
Simulator- Emergency situations like engine failure, cabin decompression, slats jamming, etc.
Greetings from Singapore! IS FLORIDA MAN SWIMMING? Simulator- Emergency situations like engine failure, cabin decompression, slats jamming, etc.
Swayne Martin Quick question. I am aspiring to become an airline pilot, and i was wondering if atp flight school or a local flight school would be better. Also, a video idea could be going in depth on checklists and procedures. Thank You!
Those iPads, what are they function?
2 friends and an empty jet and getting paid. That is the best.
This comment gave me a rush of endorphins!
What would be better? 2 friends and 40 girls from Hooters flying and getting paid.
Yea, getting paid about 10 dollars an hour!
@First Last uhhhh, not sure they're that good of friends! 8)
@Nufc Magpies 123 No, I don'''t know too much. I've only been in aviation for 40 plus years. Do a little real research my friend.
I was once the only passenger on an Endeavor (Delta) CRJ-900. Can confirm - we took off like a rocket!
At least he’s flying a jet
pingen jackson fuck you
CPT Gaming yeah I think they’re a bot
Aviation and other things yeah probably but it’s still super annoying
Wonder if he’s still going to be employed in a few more weeks.
Trek Advisor who knows, most people are in a awkward position right now
no karens complaining about the flight and no crying babies
why ate people so mean..when you were a baby didnt you cry too..its a passenger plane not a hotel
Asian Lover its a joke

Just became a official glider pilot today now starting to work on my PPL
Congrats!!
Hope you have a backup plan.
Awesome, congratulations
Demon Got Me for....?
Nice!!!
Just wanna say that it's awesome that Envoy lets you record like this, and I hope they keep letting you do it!! Such a good brand ambassador and now I will most definitely recognize that name.
Officially they are American’s regional branch, but the company is called Envoy. Like how Wisconsin Air is United Express.
Since this industry is far from all roses, maybe an episode about how furloughs work would be appropriate. About 10,000 of us airline pilots will be out of work come 10/1/20. This will be my 3rd furlough in my 25 years of professional flying.
Planning to have something out soon for people to understand the basics of furloughs. While it probably won’t do much to help someone knowledgeable, or going through it themselves, I want it to provide insight to aspiring pilots.
Switch to transporting for the cartel. Very good money until things pick up in commercial.
Sorry Brandon. I'll be on the street with you. Good luck to the both of us!
@@mikepazzree1340 what the hell are you talking about strike lines for? This is no strike.
As a heavy jet mechanic, I learned long time ago to have a second part time job. If one fails, you are not dead in the water. I even had to go overseas for awhile. But this pandemic may be the death blow to a lot of pilots and mechanics. It could take 5 to 10 years to fully recover and maybe get your job back. I am retired. ;-)
I smiled on that whole flight, er, video. Thanks Swayne!
Was lowkey expecting a couple barrel rolls
As always, great video Swayne. I’ve been flying fixed wing since 1991 and I do have have a commercial license. Since I perused a different career path, it’s nice to follow you and live through your experiences. Thank you.
I love that you take time to explain the procedures.
As always, phenomenal editing and an amazing insight for aspiring pilots. Great video 👍🏻
Great video as usual Swayne!! Keep up the good work, and thank you for doing all you can to keep us safe during your flights WITH passengers!!
Really enjoy your channel and videos! My late father was a mechanic for Lockheed at OHare, on the fueling trucks and tankers. I grew up hearing terms like ramp, hydrant cart, west gate, Butler aviation, and gates. Our house was west of a runway in a flight path by Devon Ave.
Congratulations on your successfully navigating your career! Hope to see more videos! Safe travels!
As a mechanic, I got to do a lot of training, ferry flights, maintenance test flights, recovery, demo, etc. it is real neat. One time, I was downstairs cooking dinner when we landed. Oops You make your own coffee. One time on a L1011, I had to go down into the forward electronics bay to check the nose gear was down and locked. Almost like EA401 Dec 1972
Awesome seeing you moving up the way you are. I still watch your first videos! Nice to see your comrades aren't camera shy! Wished it was a longer video, more conversation with you and the captain since you've known him before. Keep them coming!!!!
When I was new at AA I remember doing a ferry flight on the MD80. We forgot to make sure one of the galley carts was secure and it ended up rolling almost all the way down the aisle. 😱
I thought something really dramatic on your flight. Not just a loose cart.
K Cook a loose cart rolling down the aisle can make some damage, especially in a small aircraft like a E145 or MD80
Jaime Blanco Pinto That is true. Luckily no damage.
K Cook That’s about the most drama I want.
Good for AA that they don't have a dumb ass like you any longer.
Loose Galley cart, really...what else did you "Forget", hopefully, your retired by now, or maybe working for Frontier, they could use you, no Galley carts..
Always a video that's great in-depth look at things in the industry. What a spectacular video Swayne
Thank you for explaining the process when this needs to happen. Safe travels!
Getting a notification of a new video always feels good. I want to be a pilot and I feel like I will start training soon.
Love your videos!! Thanks for sharing your experience as an Airlines pilot
You have the best content and you are the best pilot.I have watched your RUclips videos for years and I have watched you start from the very beginning to were you are now and it is truly amazing of how far you have come.Wishing you all the best in your continuing endeavor Thank you for sharing your content and inspiring the love of flying.
Great video. The climb rate is off the gauge, literally. It’s very important to stay safe and professional even when flying an empty plane. No fooling around trying to be a fighter pilot. There are many accidents as a result of not taking an empty flight seriously.
Easiest log book out there for sure, started using it as a student and I can’t stop, very efficient
Glad you use it! I’ve used LogTen pro for a long time and love it
So nice to see another video!!!! Good to see you still flying!!! Looking forward to seeing additional videos as time permits!!! Thank You for your videos!!! 😄😀
Love knowing that you guys actually preflight the flight attendants normal preflight duties..
Glad you’re still working Swayne. Well done as always. 👍
Awesome flight Swayne and Captain! Stay focused and determined and you should make Captain in no time!
I love flying REPO flights, there the best! Great video Swayne ✈️
Love the cloud surfing. Another excellent video. Thanks...
Probably the smallest jet to fly the DFW to MIA route that day. Awesome video, and looking forward to seeing full planes again, hopefully soon!
After such a long time. I've been waiting long for your vlog! It's great to see you again.
I have worked for a US airline for 37 years and have been doing weight and balance for 35 of those years. I always thought my company was a bit behind when it comes to ferry flights W/B (what you call Repo flights), but we can use our regular program and get 'er done. Another great vid!
Swayne, thanks so much for these great videos.
1:47 - Swayne, make sure you check the overhead bins on the other side. Flight Attendants have been known to take naps inside there....
Thanks for taking us along, including explaining the different flight characteristics while empty.
Good to see you flying during this whole pandemic. Love your videos!
Just did my first solo yesterday! Love the videos!
Brilliant, what a great job you have.
So much detail! Love your videos
Nice to see Phillip flying as a Captain! Probably I made a flight for him in Brazil a couple of years ago, because he couldn't return on time from the US.
Another great video. Thanks
Thanks for promoting aviation!
Good stuff Swayne as always!
Love your videos Swayne! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experience it really helps.
Thanks for watching! Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos
Hi Mr. Martin thank u for sharing this remarkable skill being a pilot
I was lucky enough about 40 years ago to catch a flight like this. I was the only passenger from OKC to MSY. Very unusual experience. Thanks for posting this video.
No matter the topic you present great vids! Always upbeat, great explanation and all of the footage is engaging.
I'm crying of happiness cause I am only 3 years away until I can learn for captain but I'll finish school first but thanks for the motivation and inspiration, Joe and Swayne!
I got to fly onboard a reposition flight once at SkyWest, Salt Lake to Chicago. Called up dispatch and I was added as an extra crewmember on the flight. They left the cockpit door open the whole time, it was awesome. Perks of being an airline employee.
This is cool. It really helps with my fear of flying. Seeing the journey from pilots point of view reassures me.
The earliest I've ever been to a Swayne Martin Video!!!! Let me grab my coffee real quick
Thanks for watching Jason!
Thanks Swayne Keep Up The Great Work
Excellent as always! Great job Swayne
Hey dude, Great Video! I am an aspiring Pilot and your videos really give me insight into the world of Aviation, keep on doing what you do!
Let’s hope that aviation will progress back to the way it should be soon. (Safely). Thanks for the amazing video Sawyne!
Thanks for the awesome videos!
Nicely presented - well done.
What an awesome experience! I liked all the facts overlaid on the video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Love your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting video! Thanks for posting!
Nice to see you made the cut and still were able to keep your job being somewhat newly hired. I got hired with PSA in December and was let go before I even got a line.
I've flown an empty MD-11 Jumbo Jets several times. Fantastic performance that reminded me of Flying the 20 seriors Lear Jets empty...pure rocket ships.
Keep working the line SM, hang in there
Another amazing video ✌🏻
EXTREMELY AWESOME VIDEO!
Awesome video
Great Video... Always cool to see the 121/91 perspective! lol! Thanks Swayne
Great vlog as always! Be safe, stay safe!
Enjoy your videos a lot! Keep 'em coming!
Great video Swayne! 👍🏼

I do heavy maintenance for the emb 145 and 175s for envoy out of abilene Texas. Keep them flying!
