As a dispatcher, I have to say that this was a very comprehensive explanation. I'd recommend releasing a video for the remaining pages of the OFP since it will give everyone an appreciation of the vast amounts of information at the fingertips of a pilot.
Thank you for your love and support which has brought me this far, it's has been a hard time for me but you supports has got me standing even in difficult times, I can't appreciate enough, the support of fans who have prayed for me, I welcome you to my RU-vid channel. Write me on hangout or email. Vanessamark433@gmail.com
My brain just exploded 🤯. This was like 4 years of college in 15 minutes. Really interesting video.

Exactly! Any time I even remotely think of what it would be like to be a pilot, I am reminded of everything I saw in videos by Captain Joe or Mentour Pilot and I just can't comprehend how a human being is able not just to learn all that, but actually to be "fluent" in it to the point they can understand and evaluate everything on the fly and make quick decisions. Every new video adds a new layer of "wow, they also need to know this and that..." and it just never seems to stop! I have a great respect for every pilot!
@ Takes practise, if you see it everyday and study it, sooner or later you will "get it" since they are relatively the same. The numbers may defer but the "type of info" are the same, for example Trip Fuel will always be trip fuel. Pilots are supposed to do these (a simpler version) every time they go flying (when learning how to fly) and do more just to practise it. Just "create" your own flight plan or draw a line linking 2 places then calculate the distance between them, get an actual weather of the day for said location and do up the flight plan. Very soon it becomes 2nd nature. Most of the stuff mentioned in the video will be taught during the student pilot phrase and you will be rather good at it by the time you are ready for a private pilot license. Airlines "type" just have some additional stuff to it.

@@DragonX2X7 It's not just that, though. You need to master meteorology, aerodynamics, know the inner workings of the engine, the millions of systems the plane has, the procedures, the communication with ATC, and OH SO MUCH MORE!
@ hehehe, yep I know. I wouldn't use the word "master" but "know enough" about those topics. Not to mention all the air laws, cloud separations in different aerodrome, etc (Class A, B, C, D, G, etc). Private pilot license itself have a book of about 200 (or more? can't remember) pages to read/study/know, Commercial Pilot license would be another 7 books (and test) for Australia and 14 books in the EU. The passing mark is 70% for all and 80% on Air Law (in Aus, though I expect the same for others due ICAO). Even after passing them, the result will give you a very brief mention on the topic that you got wrong. On the day of the flight test, the tester will look at those theory and verbally question you on those that you got wrong (thus "100%") then ask you a few questions about those you got it right. After clearing that verbal theory session, you go flying and get tested on it. It is a grind, a full time zero to commercial license takes about 1.5 years to complete on average (realistically the median is about 1.5-2 years), after which you would want to go for a multi engine rating, command instrument rating, to be able to fly multi engine planes in "cloud" condition (IMC). Airlines would want multi crew license, another 7 books/test (more in depth) for ATPL (airline transport pilot licence) for Aus (same passing mark as before) and 14 for EU just to start off. It's hard but not impossible as many have done and proven. All that for the sweet sweet love of flying, worth it in my opinion. :) Flying for "fun" would require much less, just a private license is good enough, ain't too hard to achieve.
Captain Joe you have inspired me and now I’m half way through ground school for my PPL and it has been super easy because I watched so much from you. My first flight is next week and I know I will be even more comfortable in the cockpit. Thank you Captain Joe !
Capitian joe I’ve just got my new 747-8f and it is way better than what I expected and It only took like 5 work days instead of 20 to 40 work days so thank you for the 747 model.
It might be more, in case you don't wait until the last minute and have some of your contingency or extra fuel (if any) left when diverting. But if you have left exactly the amount stated in the "FMC" column, that will be exactly the FR fuel remaining when initiating the go around.
@@lukasm1293 Hey, I know that, that's why I wrote no less than. Theoretically yes, but the rules are clear to avoid such considerations. In this case, we do not have extra fuel and we do not know if contingency has been used and we do not know if we will wait until the last minute, so I assume the worst case scenario that we only have FR fuel.
An unpressurised plane weighs less, dare say it costs less, less maintainance. But you are limited with the maximum altitude without supplementary oxygen. Anything over 10,000ft has a higher risk of hypoxia.
what is your love for nature,mine was trees. before I joined the military,I planned for a very plots of land for trees planting, tryna get some nature specialist, that can give me the name of old trees from the ancient, wanna make some research about them, for personal benefits. meeting you here was I great thing,but I don't come here if not for important things and don't got much Time for stranger,but you're still a blissful human too,and hope you stay safe from covid 19. I might not give you response back for now,dew to my job schedules and high monitoring devices all around me,it would be nice texting directly to Gmail or Mobile number. text me back to my Gmail address which is (megsaudibert@gmail.com) or send me your Gmail address and your mobile number,so when I come online here, would get you a response,hope you stay safe.
Excellent the video. very good explanation about the OFP which is very easy to understand. Thanks Captain Joe and always looking forward to the next video.
Wow I love how honest you are about how had and induring it is to go from a cessna to airline. Youre a great pilot Joe and you for sure show this in all of your videos. Your knowledge for aircraft and the air industry is astounding. Keep pushing and keep going Joe, you'll be a Captain very very soon!
Omg this was really helpful, I would really like to learn about more pages. Please make a series out of this, these will help really lots of people/students.
Dear Captain Joe! I think I'm the 1st person to wish you Happy birthday in too Advance... 💐 "Travel all the distences you can, carry any load, but nothing seems to a more important achievement than reaching your Birthday safe! May you live long & Happily 💜💜💜" HAPPY B'DAY TO "THE SOUL OF AIRPLANE" JOE 👨✈️ IN ADVANCE 💐💐💐 Heartfelt wish from Thisho 💟
Thanks a lot Captain for this detailed explanation, and it will be great to have more of the OFP pages explained, we should thank the generous company who supported you with their OFP plan.
Hey Joe, I really want to thank you for your instructive videos as a type rating student pilot. The topics of the videos together with your comprehensive explanation really help me to understand many things that were not clear enough before. I wish that you make another video for the other pages of OFP as well. Have a good day and flight!

Yeah, i would like to look in other pages for the explanation of data you can met there. Thanks, you have the best aviation channel i have found during the years yet.
Many of us are bound by the social media policies of the companies that we work for that prevents us from sharing information like this. This is a fantastic video to share with the people who are just starting out in the airline world. Thanks to you Joe and kudos to Cargolux for allowing to use this. ! :) Just a bit of correction though : some American operators chose to use Kgs in their OFP if the aircraft is set up in Kgs. All the best.
Flight dispatcher signed in here👋. Thank you Capt Joe for the detail explanation .The minimum fuel at destination to alternate airport is 11011kgs. Some country allowed OFP without Alternate Airport but required 2hours extra fuel instead.
I thank you very much for this very thorough OFP presentation. Your suggestion for this OFP session to be continued in a following VDO is a smart one and will benefit me, as, I think, many of your keen to learn followers and aviation enthusiast. Best regards, Jalil MACHICHI.

Excellent video Joe. As a trained FAA dispatcher by Jeppesen all very well explained. Answer to your question would be final reserve & maybe contingency as well if not already used requiring you to declare a fuel emergency on the go around at alternate. Would love a video explaining CI to refresh my memory if possible. vielen danke. Seán.

Love to see it a follow up video on both the OFP v.2 AND the COST INDEX. Thanks Capt. Joe. your channel is a real pleasure. Perhaps, a couple of more questions: 1. Why are runways so rough? when a plane is near v[rot] the crew is bouncing around quite a bit. Given the money spent on all of this why is it not smoother or this due to the aircraft? 2. Could you do a tutorial on climb out starting with the take off roll say over 10000 ft when the light go off and you begin to accelerate past 250 kts OR if you are feeling energetic take off roll to cruise altitude. Thank you. You are a fine teacher. Henri
Another great video. As a flight dispatcher, it was nice to see you give a thorough breakdown of the first page of the OFP but you made 1 little mistake. at 7:01 you referred to the MORA as "Minimum Enroute Altitude" (MEA) but what you meant to say was "Minimum Off Route Altitude". For those who don't know, the difference between the 2 is that the MORA gives the minimum safe altitude to fly relative ONLY to terrain clearance (at least 1000ft above the terrain or 2000ft above the terrain in mountainous areas) where the MEA is the minimum altitude dictated by the MORA and the reception of navigation aids, restricted airspace, and the ability to have two-way communication with air traffic control
Yes please! I hadn’t realised how much was involved in flight planning before this. Heaven help small private planes if the pilot has to do all this planning himself!
I would love to see not only the OFP explanation but the information being inputted into the FMC what line on the OFP transposes into what page and line on the FMC especially in LIDO format but really really enjoyable informative video.
