How Airline Pilots Can Prepare For Departure In Under 25 Minutes

Cockpit scenes filmed with approval, in partnership with Envoy Air Inc., under Part 91... Now that we've covered topics like training, initial operating experience, reserve, and an aircraft overview, let's dig into what daily operations look like. As a regional airline pilot, it's not uncommon to fly 4 or 5 short flights each day. When you arrive at an outstation you might just have 20-30 minutes to deplane, program the next departure, postflight the aircraft, re-board, and depart on-time. It's called a "turn" and regardless of where you work, you'll be flying turns all the time!

While this video covers how we, as pilots, prepare the cockpit, there are so many people working simultaneously to get the airplane ready. I want to give credit to the awesome flight attendants, dispatchers, gate agents, ramp agents, caterers, cleaners, fuelers, and maintenance staff that we work with each day. It's amazing how we can turn airplanes in 20-30 minutes when everyone works as a team.
