Inside the Cockpit: A Day in the Life of a Boeing 767 Airline Pilot 

Hey Pete! I’m a Ramp Agent at Fedex in Memphis as well as a private pilot with aspirations on being in your seat one day! I really enjoy the context buddy, super cool to see what goes on after we’re done with the planes! Can’t wait to see the next video, always look forward to them ✈️

Kudos to you for your "positive outlook".... with seemingly "the whole world angry" anymore, your positive energy is sincerely-sincerely appreciated.

I used to work at the FEDEX LAX Hub, I may have loaded/unloaded cargo from a 767 plane you fly. I was always amazed when I got a glimpse of the cockpit.

The 767 is unique to me in that I always felt it looked better as a cargo plane than a passenger jet. Nice aircraft!

I like watching your videos because it’s a mix of personal and professional life of a pilot. I really enjoyed todays; it was super informative! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing you good trip here. You made me laugh and I agree with you about those early morning wake ups and checkins!! I never liked waking up in my early years of flying at 3:00am to be at the airport 5:00am for a 6:00am trip. Also, I am glad I was living in the city of my base hub and that I did not commute to my base hub. Commuting to work can be hard many times for Pilots and Flight Attendants. Again, you are right, those two items are just a few of the hard or negative things that come up in our Aviation Industry.😊

Stay Happy!!

Loved the video!!!! Thanks for your little Ted talk!!!!😂 Look forward to your next video!!!!!!☀️🙏☀️🙏☀️🙏

Love your videos. Thank for being an inspiration when it comes to fitness and nutrition. I’ve adopted your saying: “it’s nonnegotiable!!!”

I hope you had a great trip and enjoy your week

Excellent video dude//numbers creeping up..keep at the grind..It’s gonna pay off..you’re doing everything right. Only the best wishes for you✈️

I like the change you made on this video. It's easier to hear you without the bgm when you are speaking.

Hey love the videos. I live in Memphis obviously fed x is a big part of it. I know a few pilots there and they all are happy. Anyway my daughter starts school at atp next month she is super excited and plans on taking the purple runway cadet program

Deep dive on scheduling would be cool. Definitely got to love pulling into Fedex JFK hub and seeing the old twa hanger and welcome to JFK.PHX is definitely a great stopover to.

Thank goodness you had the 767 protect your hair from the rain Pete! Great video as always ❤️✈️

I live in PHX, 39c = hot AF. this week is hotter though, I think. 12 minute taxi is not horrible. Just my solo Xc last week, and controllers at FFZ were being confusing in my limited experience and had to hold short of 22L for about 12minutes (according to GoPro). The good/bad of your job, I think would be the commuting, but 20yrs of trucking, so airline schedules don’t sound horrible or different, plus hotel every layover is better than finding a truck stop. Although the food thing might be different (depending what TSA allows through) Thanks for the videos.

Hi there! What does “updating your charts” mean? Another great video - I really liked seeing you in the cockpit getting ready to go 💪🏻✈️

Fun vlog 😊

Amazing video as always! Question: how easy or it is easy to pick extra trips? Let’s say you want make a little extra $$ I know it varies for different companies.

Love your vids! You mean "in the air a lot" instead of on the road 😂 Yay for Indy!

These vlogs keep getting better and better. Amazing work Pete both in the air and on the ground. Couldn't help but notice that it seems every time you are near the tail area they start up the APU as if.. yeah..lol.. keep it up buddy.. :)

Since you fly the 767, are you also rated on the 757?

Happy I hope you can come to Nebraska again soon to come to Omaha My name is Lisa Fennell and I have cancer to listening to your videos Make me a little bit calmer since I have leukemia❤❤

You got a better Father’s Day gift than I got from my adult children. 🤷‍♂️

Hey PilotPete, best pilot vlogs...making my donation and spreading the word. Amazing charity you'll be running for

Would love a video about the scheduling process!

Thanks for the TED talk haha! It's all about perspective. I think a happy heart is a thankful heart 🫶. Great landings! Onto the next sweet day (or sweet landing). Safe flying!

Boe-inggggg! ❤

Hey Pete! Question from someone aspiring to one day be an airline pilot: You said on the 767 that the APU pulls it's fuel from the left wing specifically. Is there something specific that has to be done to handle the difference in weight between the left and right fuel tanks after the APU is shut down in order to maintain balance for takeoff/flight? Really enjoying your content, dude!

Love these videos!! Thanks for sharing bro!!

Hot in PHX. I played baseball at ASU and they made us run our asses off during the heat of the day. I don't know how we didn't get sick.

Another great video. Your energy is infectious ❤

Excellent content - love it

115 today, love it when you are in Arizona, I live in Mesa

Great video😊awesome flying and excellent landings!

Great content Pete! Greetings from Brazil👊

Great video! Love the views and information.

You mentioned an A/C repair on your current Vehicle: quote:$1100.00 . A/C repairs are pricey, people always hoping the unit needs a charge, more likely a leak in the system at a minimum. My thought, not throw $$ at an older car, 16 model years old. I think I would use Uber in TN.

Have you ever done a layover to Rhode Island?

Do you purchase your own headset, or does the company provide?

Hey bud, great video. What kind of iPad mount do you use?

Captain turned on the Hydraulics

I haven’t really considered cargo as an option because it seems like schedules will be heavy in the red eye category and I’d prefer to have a primarily daytime schedule. Is my suspicion true or am I way off?

love the content keep up the good work 😀

I am A&P and fellow you because I hoping to get my ppl one day. But any how, ELT and black boxes are to different things. Your aircraft have both. ELT is as you described but if it a 406freq one. It will send out gps location. Black box's are fdr and cvr(which both uwb). Ga don't have them.

Lucky you, wish I was a B767 first officer✈️💫🧑‍✈️

Great video today! Love your positive attitude. What did you decide to do about the air in the car? 39c=102c

I have seen quite a few videos from you. I love your dedication to exercise. Some of your layovers are short and you still have time to go for a run or hit the gym. I am wondering how you deal with dirty and wet clothing after workout? Please share your experience with us. Thanks.

Hey Pete, not that I personally believe it but just kind of curious I’m an Atlas Air pilot on the 777 and of course there’s crazy talk going on here that there’s a possibility of our airlines merging. Have you been hearing it on your side also?

The left aft fuel pump. Same on the 757. Love to see it and love the 767

Welcome back to IND! Seems like it's been a while.

Great vlog today! May i ask 2 questions? When you have multiple legs in a day, do you fly the same aircraft thrughout the day, or is each leg in a different 767? And, it is solely the captain's discretion if you get a 'leg' at all, or are their rules that read so everyone get's a chance to 'fly'? Thanks Pete!

Do you always fly with the same pilot and crew or is it different everytime

Have you ever been to Pilot Pete's located in Schaumburg Regional Airport close to ORD?

Make a video captain about how to be a pilot at FedEx

Do you always get the same planes after each stop? Another good video.

Get the AC fixed. Cheaper than a car payment Pete.

Where did you go to college ?

Hey Pete! I was just wondering, what is the shortest runway that a 767 can land on? Thanks!

Nice video!

Please explain the dead head thing when you live in the airports city? Or is your base lga?

why dont your 767 have winglets like UPS?

Awsome

$1,100 to fix A/C is a normal price for a 2008 Honda. It’s worth it for a Honda in my opinion. Because that car will last a long time.

What do the colors mean on your schedule

Hi Pete, does your company have to approve the sunglasses you wear while flying?

are the PFD screens in the cockpit touchscreen?

Pete, that sucks about your car. 1100 seems outrageous. If it was low on the juice most cars you need to fool a switch to turn compressor on.

Pete Would You Buy Me 4 Cans of Those Chefboyardee Mini Beef Ravioli and Meatballs

How did you move from 737 to 767

Is there theifery out of luggage at some airports

do you ever come to kmht manchester new hampshire

Why not show the cockpit briefing, push back to start to clear for take off cockpit view? Let's see your ways and expertise please. Onward 🌈 to more great 5 day pays like that right

Are your toe nails intact with all that running? My sis lost her little toe nails when she ran the rock n roll marathon in Vegas. Apparently they only do half marathons nowadays

Peter is a little full of himself huh?!😂

Are you and Joey muiccio friends?

Hey Pete, how about you splurge on a new car.

Why don’t you cut your hairs 😂

PilotPeteFly: your getting ripped off. $1,100 to replace AC compressor ( new/remanufactured)+ new reciever-drier,sucking down system, adding new oil and refrigerant. Bill would/should be $600.00-$700.00 parts and labor at a reputable shop.

Are you natty
