  For many years I worked in jobs which, one for sure (Special Forces) denied women entry. I then became a paramedic and it was about five years later that they opened the job to women. That would have been the best change they ever made because I got to work with so many capable and competent women. This is also why I enjoy your videos so much.

  Almost forgot, thank you to your partner in the left seat and especially your airline for allowing you to do such a great production. &nbsp;The lighted prompts are really good.

  As a person who flies yet is terrified of flying, this video has truly helped me understand the systematic procedure behind the scenes. This makes me a lot more comfortable and it’s great to know you all have pretty good visibility out! 🙏🏾

  You&apos;re an inspiration. Knowing such calm level headedness is in charge upfront must be a genuine comfort to your lucky passengers x

  Hi Michelle, As a humble private pilot I always love watching your uploads as nothing better than watching someone doing what they love for a living and also setting a good example for others on how to behave in the cockpit. Well done young lady. ✈️🇦🇺

  I think this is the first time I&apos;ve heard you speak Dutch. 🙂 For a second I didn&apos;t realize you were as I understand it quite well. Mijn spreken is niet zo goed.

  The question about the Transition Altitude/Level: <br>Air pressure changes permanently due to weather conditions (temperature, meteorologic Highs and Lows, etc), so you set the altimeter to the local pressure at the airport to have the real (and correct) altitude displayed.<br>But in airspace, ATC has to separate all flights (security distances etc.) and therefore everyone needs the same base for the altitude display. To achieve this, every plane sets the altimeter to ISA Standard (=1013 hPa) at the transition altitude. So if ATC tells one flight to use FL210 and another to use FL230, they both may don&apos;t fly on that altitude in the current real air pressure, but (and that&apos;s important): There are definitely 2.000 feet between the two planes.<br><br>It&apos;s called the Transition Altitude (TA) when climbing (from ground to the airspaces), because until you cross it, you measure the &apos;altitude&apos; in feet. After the TA, you use &apos;flightlevel&apos; (FL) for altitude concerns.<br>Other way round, leaving the airspace and descending &nbsp;for landing, you have to switch to the local pressure when crossing the Transition Level (TL) at latest. Normally ATC gives you early the QNH in descent or has a range within everybody has to switch to the local pressure to assure, that below the TL everybody uses the same measurement base again (and due to obstacles and airfield elevation, it has to be the local pressure. Else you fly way too low or high due to a false measurement base - and that&apos;s not a good thing when closer to the ground.)

  Superb video Michelle, enjoyed the take off stream even more than the landings, the new camera angle is fantastic and really shows the hard work you guys put in every minute that you&apos;re keeping us safe.

  Hand-fly as much as you can and during different flight phases. Also in turbulent/imc weather if your procedures allow. You may hardly ever need that skill. Or you may one day save the aircraft by keeping your reflexes well programmed. After the adventures &nbsp;I experienced, I do not believe that hand flying should be limited to short final in vmc (and more of such modern nonsense without a scientific base). People lose their &apos;edge&apos; when doing &nbsp;this. Have good flights and beautiful views 😎! Greets from a retired aviator.

  De kruising waar je overheen taxiet op <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfmFS_GppYs&amp;t=355">5:55</a> heb ik ooit moeten uitcijferen voor frezen en asfalteren, toen DuraVermeer nog veel werk op airside deed (en ik nog bij dat bedrijf werkte). We streefden er altijd naar om jullie een zo smooth mogelijke ride te bezorgen. 🙂<br>Is nu ca. 15 jaar geleden, dus inmiddels is dat vast al wel nog één (of zelfs meerdere) keren gedaan.
