Do I have to be good at maths? Can I have glasses and still be a pilot? 

I'm still a 13y girl who's dreaming to be a Pilot and I'm getting a really really useful information from your videos. Thank you!😁

When he said trigonometry my heart dropped

These are the two questions I just thought about today. Thanks for clarifying! :)

The only Pilot who explain everything so well and so simple.. hats off to you. Amazing pilot and amazing channel. Highly recommend

thanx man.............i really was worried about my eyes.....but now i got relief

Thaaaank youuuuu!! I've been searching for an anwer like that for quite some time and finally someone answered it. Thanks again!!!

Yes Petter! Thanks you so much for this video, I have been waiting for you to do a video like this.

Love yours vids starting training ASAP recently became you best glider pilot solo in Wales very pleased can't wait for the next step in aviation

Finally i have got my answer !!!!! 😊😊😊

Thanks God! Finally! I always asking myself about this cause I'm not good at math but I will do my best to become a pilot. Motivated :) Thank you!

Oh man your a life saver! You did say not to base your life decisions on what you say, but now I have hope that I can pilot!

Very informative sir. I am an aviation enthusiast and all your videos, from the oldest to the most recent always give me butterflies in the stomach. Really fantastic man. A million thanks again.

Thank you soo much I have glasses and it always worried me weather I can be a pilot or not. After watching this vid I got my answer and I'm relieved. 🙂

Dang that intro..... Wow and ur channel is Amazing!! I want to be a pilot when i grow up..

Thank you, it was of great help. Finally found my answer.

Very interesting and well put. In fact, congratulations on a thoroughly good channel, you are an excellent presenter! Through my own flying experience, including training, I have found - and I must stress this is my own experience - that some of the "smarter" guys ironically seem to have a harder time, perhaps for the reason you set out here. One guy, who I never actually flew with but who I often overheard in conversation or heard about from others, was a chronic "over-thinker". He was said to be extremely intelligent and from an IT background, but his analytical mindset would perhaps have been put to better use as an avionics engineer as opposed to sitting next to underwhelming mortals like me. 👍

Thank you for your videos, true inspiration

Great video, love your work! And have a nice flight ;)

that was the complet describe about eye weakness restriction for becoming pilot thank you

Love your videos ! I just know will help out bunch wanna be pilots ;)

In September, I'm starting Sixth Form (UK) and I'm taking Maths, Physics and Geography. I think I have picked the right subjects! Thanks Mentour for this video 😊

Thank you sir. Now I got the answer which I was nervous for.

Thank you sir! This helped me alot, im planning to be a pilot here in japan. Hope i can make it!!

Thank u so much, u just answered a lot of my questions

thank you for the explaination. kinda made me emotional

Thank You! You just made me feel better

I am 14y old and I always wanted to be a pilot. The information you shared is really very useful .Thankyou so much!

Great video mentour congrats on 5000 subscribers been with you since the start.

Great video as always. Thanks for answering my question ^__^

Hi I'm 14 and I love aviation! I'm dreaming of becoming a pilot and find your videos so useful. Thank you very much!

Thanks for this!

I wouldn't recommend corrective laser surgery. You want to be able to see runway lights clearly at night. With LASIK, you get wicked glare on bright lights.

thank you Sir Montour my confusions are now solved

Thankyou this helped so much!

nice advise as always capt :D

Thank you for clearing up everything I was worried about

This is what's been holding me back... I've been struggling with math for pretty much my entore life. I just don't find it interesting. Therefor, I've been so afraid of applying to flight schools because I think I'm not smart enough. I will certainly apply now though, atleast give it a try to forfill my dream in aviation! Happy flying folks :)

I wear glasses and everyone in school has told me that I need perfect vision. I now also know what subjects I need to improve in to become a pilot. Thanks for answering my question. 😀

Thanks for your information sir

I'm going to start flight school, you're a true inspiration and this video saved my life xD, I love Trigonometry though.

Great video !!

You have given me hope since I do wear glasses and this is my number ONE fear that airline pilot need to have 20/20 eye sight(wearing glasses). THANK YOU!

Love your videos!

Here in the US I am pretty sure that there are not limits for eyesight, one just needs to correct it to 20/20 with glasses according to the FAA

Yes i have chance to become a pilot!!! Thank you for the information i want to become a pilot and youtuber like you!

Tbh, aviation has been my passion since I was a little kid. Often the world can be a challenging place as I was often called different and special. However not in a good way. As while children were playing video games I was studying for any cadet program that would take me. I still am. Becoming an aviator is my one and only goal. Flying is my only other one. I live by the saying "fly till you die" and I will live by it until the day I pass away. -Far

Congratulations 5000 Subscribers.

thanks sir ,this video is cleared all my fear ...

Awesome captain

ICC rules are similar. You can wear glasses to get a CDL, but (depending on your state) your vision needs to be correctable at a certain level that's higher than for a normal car license. And you need to have a spare pair of glasses in your cab.

Congrats on the 5,000 subs yay 🙌🙌🙌👏

I love you man!😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

thanks bro I finally got the answer thanks a lot

very helpful and nice video. You're a doing a great work keep it up sir :') i'm a 16 year old boy and i really wish to become a pilot one day. your information are very helpful.

Mentour u r the bestttt ever seen

Thanks you solved my problem

I've always wanted to become a pilot and it is a privilege for me to become one of you but my parents can't afford the tuition fee

Thank you so much!

I'm currently 15 and I start my flying lessons when I get to 16 which is another 8 months away. I can't wait to start.

Why would anyone unlike this video?🤨 I love all your videos, they are edited well and are very informative.

you answered all of my questions

Thank you!

I hope u have a fantastic day too..

Hi Mentour, I have the pleasure to work with you and we know each other personally as we work for the same airline. I am a Cabin Crew though. As a simple contribution to this interesting discussion from my point of view since I am into the training and, at the beginning, I had the same doubt about maths I bring a couple of items. I hold a post graduate college degree in Economics so I didn't find any particular obstacles in the Maths that a student pilot gets into the way and I am pretty sure that either an average high school graduate wouldn't, with a quick refresh. We are talking about simple conversions, some basic equations (when it comes to study the difficult ones, the syllabus of the ATPL -the final licence- doesn't require you to study them deeply or... demonstrate any theorem for instance), rules of thumb, percentages, operations in degrees and a bit of geometry and trigonometry as you Mentour well explained here above (in BCN airport?). It doesn't take a rocket scientist, not at all. HOWEVER My personal experience speaks well now: to be a competent and SAFE pilot, the situation you encounter, ESPECIALLY during flying puts you in the condition to make calculations under an considerable amount of stress depending on the person. Doesn't matter how good you planned your flight on the ground, those simple calculation are sometimes to be done quickly and accurately while handling the aircraft: the flight safety is on stake. So, I recommend not to underestimate that a simple calculation in degrees, or about weight, heading, wind vectors is simple on the ground but can be hell of difficult in the air when you're alone in the cockpit trying to consider whether or not your fuel tanks are enough to land in the alternate airport after holding or the wind vector after a sudden runway change when you're about to prepare your approach. How to handle it? Well, my instructor says that you save your... ehm... by preparing a good flight before, that's the key. Trying to contemplate every possibility with a good safety margin. When it comes to calculate you don't want to encounter a problem in flight you've never faced before, as you may require cold blood, sense of proportions and estimation skills. So far, this golden rule works for me and it will for you all. Fly high! C In here you've got ALL YOU NEED to know and master about Maths and Physics to go for the whole ATPL (Airline Transportation Pilot Licence) course. Nothing more, nothing less. itunes.apple.com/gb/book/maths-and-physics-for-pilots/id592113679?mt=11

i am 16years old and am good in maths and phicics and i am willing to become a pilot and your videos are helping me. thank yo

Great channel, Captain! I have a few questions/suggestions for your next episodes: Could you explain how the trimming works(is it intuitive? difference btw B737 and A320?)? Have you ever tried and used one of the PC flight simulators/PMDG airplanes? What do you think of the Tristar A30B accident(forced landing) at HCMM? Thanks!

thankz for the video

Thank you sir ... I got my answer :) :)

Thank you mentour

Tnx for help.....

awesome!! i really like this video. im crazy about aviation and want to be a pilot soooooo bad. im not really good and maths and physics. i always pass a little higher than boderline. what i want to know is. what flight school should i go to and where to do my PPL. and also do i need a university degree?

Thanks Captain👮✈

I love your Videos

I have glasses and I really wanted to be a pilot but everybody told me I couldn’t (this is when I was about 4) so instead I got into horse riding which is still a great amazing thing but I wish I followed my dreams of being a pilot at the same time. Yet I have ALWAYS kept my passion for aviation. I may not want to work in that field anymore but I still like keeping my knowledge and learning more about the subject as it is still a great fun topic to be interested in.

Congrats to your 5'000 subscribers.

Thank you sir. Hoping to become a commercial pilot sometime soon :)

The nice part of all this is that i am good and really enjoy maths and physics! :D

Vectors, simple physic is very helpful

Phew...... now thats a relief.

Mentour, please give some formulas to help prepare for an assessment :) best regards!

thanks a lot

Awesome video. What school did you attend? What degrees did you do? What certificates did you complete? How old are ? Lol I have so many questions because you seem so young and educated !!!

Thanks again for a good brief, Capt. JohnnyCharles61

I like physics but I don't like maths😂😂

thnku very much

This video really helped relieves some Anxiety I've been having about this subject. I have a 0.50 Correction in both eyes.

I liked the video :)

My favourite topic in maths is Trigonometry So this makes me reallllyy happy :)

Thanks

I haven't seen it yet but I just gave it like.

Tx alot buddy..u cleared my all doubts. By , the from which school u did it

The FMC,FCC, IRS,GPS optimized and made flying practical, these computers will do the MATH like Fuel vs A/C config performance.

Mentour Pilot.....I passed all my PPL Licences inclusive of Group B Mutli Rngine Rating, IMC and Night Ratings for fun in my twenties though I am 56 now no longer fit enough to fly on my own as Pilot In Command. When I qualified as a young 3rd Officer(Deck) before this amongst other things eg Calculus we had to learn the dreaded Haversine Formula for SPHERICAL TRIGINOMETRY for Great Circle Navigation......do Airline Pilots today have to learn this despite GPS and Inertial Navigation ?

God bless you peter

I'm doing Maths, Physics and Geography for A-level. It has been my life long aspiration to be a pilot so hopefully I can make my dream come true one day...

I just took the pilot aptitude test for United and I had no idea how difficult it would be, I'm average at math and I would have done great on the test if it wasn't timed, but solving the problems with the pressure of the time clock counting down was crazy!! I hope I passed but I probably should have prepared a lot more. Its a tough feeling to think this could stop me from becoming a pilot

Hi mentour! Congratulations on 5k! I am considering doing a undergraduate 4 year double language degree, one of which is Spanish and the other i don't know. As you work for a european based airline, i was wondering is there was a language that would stand out to your companies employers or are they all viewed generally the same? Thanks

i want to become an airlines plilot, like for Emirates, and just started watching ur vids.

Finally, an explanation for how/when math is used in real life!

Firstly, thank you so much for your videos. I have a question, is there a specific height range for becoming a pilot?
