Hi my friends! It’s Thursday so it’s time for a Mentour NOW video.

First I would like to apologize for the lack of hangouts. I am flying late shift this week and that, together with creating videos has left very little time for anything else but the hangout WILL come soon.

I would love to hear what you think of this short video we put together about last weeks VA return.

Have an awesome day, now I’m flying to London and back!

Hello Petter. You certainly have heard of the mediatized go around of Air France flight 11, in April. It's a big scandal in France, as radio exchanges with control were leaked, which was heavily used by mass media to impress readers/viewers/consumers. You will find some information with the link below, but I would like to inform you that subtitles may be enough to have a global view of the situation, but are not that accurate. https://onemileatatime.com/news/air-france-flight-pilots-lost-control/

Great video...Such sensationalism in the media on this one. At all times there was a fully qualified pilot at the helm. Due to the lack of qualification to TRAIN they made the right call to return, but it doesn't sound like anyone was in danger during this brief flight and correction. I wonder if this happens more than we know? Props to the pilots for doing things by the book.
