My name is Patrick - I work as an airline pilot and trainer and created this channel to give you the opportunity to get a glimpse of what it is that we are doing in the cockpit.
Needless to say that I have the best job in the world, at least from my perspective - no offense...! ;-)

I am mostly showing videos of the aircraft that I fly - Airbus A330, A340-300 and A340-600 but that will change soon as the company I work for will phase these out in the near future.
And then, you might ask? It is going to be the Boeing B787 - I will keep you updated on that...!

If you like my videos, please do not forget to like and subscribe and hit that notification bell as these help me a lot to improve the channel and its content. Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
And become a member, will you?! :-P

By the way: you can also find me on instagram - captainpadde - thanks and enjoy! ;-)

Hello people!
Are you up for some ‚nostalgic‘ impressions of a recent A340-300 takeoff?
After having flown my first mission in the B787 simulator, this footage now officially qualifies as being nostalgic, don‘t you think! 😜

You can watch it here:
