hi I'm Leo I'm second officer with cafe
0:11
Pacific hi I'm Mary I'm a second officer
0:13
was cafe Pacific hi I'm Arnold I'm
0:16
second officer Cathay Pacific imagine
0:19
firing one of the biggest machine in the
0:20
world and carry hundreds of happy faces
0:23
and bring them home safely
0:25
the reward is priceless and I enjoy the
0:28
satisfaction of being a team and brain
0:31
do happy memories through our passengers
0:33
I love flying every flight is a whole
0:36
new experience to me find two different
0:38
destinations with constantly changing
0:40
weather and colleagues I've never met
0:41
before I could never get bored of this
0:44
I've always wanted to fly since I was
0:46
young boy and this shop simply makes my
0:48
childhood dream come true I was born and
0:50
raised in Hong Kong around to a local
0:52
school like any other kid in humble
0:53
family never imagined I can actually be
0:55
a pallet with Cathy after 13 months of
0:58
training in the air today and returned
1:00
to Hong Kong we qualify as a second
1:02
officer and then we'll have more
1:04
training to become active crew member
1:07
this is a job that requires many types
1:09
of consistent ongoing training some of
1:12
the training takes place in a classroom
1:13
where we learn about the different
1:15
systems of the passenger jet with flying
1:16
Cathay Pacific before we begin our
1:19
simulator training we go through an
1:21
induction to aircraft systems we do that
1:23
in the classroom and it is where we
1:25
practice flight procedures there is a
1:27
lot of preparation work before each
1:29
flight and we practice that during our
1:31
initial training so we are up to speed
1:33
for normal operations after we come back
1:36
to Hong Kong we have to help us
1:37
computer-based training and classroom
1:40
training so here is our classroom
1:41
training we have the oldest system here
1:44
and like the hydraulic system here is
1:47
actually the muscle of the aircraft this
1:49
is the FRA sleeper and powers all the
1:52
aircraft so the aircraft can fly and
1:54
this is a navigation display so it shows
1:58
all the terrain and the red one is
2:00
actually the highest and this is
2:02
actually a duplicate of that but with
2:04
the weather way that turns on so give us
2:06
all the situation awareness around the
2:08
aircraft so after we complete all the
2:10
study we have to complete the ground
2:13
screw examination by Hong Kong's evasion
2:15
Department before we can go for further
2:18
simulator training
2:19
this is our library and we got a lot to
2:22
study for the books these are the fight
2:25
crew operating manuals and they are type
2:28
specific depending on which aircraft
2:30
type will be assigned on will be given a
2:33
whole new set to study from as a pilot
2:36
our training never stops we come to the
2:38
simulator to renew our instrument rating
2:40
aircraft rating every six months and we
2:43
also come here to do our base training
2:45
emergency training from time to time my
2:49
friends always ask me what is a second
2:51
officer do if you're not doing takeoff
2:52
and landings well we're all qualified
2:54
pilots and convincing Gina to go for
2:56
landing
2:56
even though it's not part of duty yet
2:58
practically our relief pilot duty
3:00
including doing air-to-ground radio
3:03
communications people work set a few
3:05
checks and also babysitting autopilot at
3:07
cafe Pacific we offer a higher standard
3:09
of safety is it's not just the
3:11
responsibility of the cabin crew this is
3:14
the surface field safety training
3:16
facility with all the aircraft lock ups
3:19
here retrain your handle different
3:21
situations like operate the door in
3:23
emergency exit the aircraft using
3:26
emergency slides or even firefighting
3:28
all of our aircraft carry safety
3:31
equipments so we need to know what kind
3:34
of safety equipment is on board how many
3:36
and the location of them on different
3:38
types of aircraft behind the food
3:41
mock-up for the emergency slides
3:42
procedure this prepares copy proof for
3:45
the emergency situations such as
3:46
precautionary to some occasions and also
3:49
emergency landings or cobra crews are
3:51
required to complete this training
3:52
during the initial course with Cathay
3:54
Pacific every 13 months we have
3:56
scheduled 9 check on define Cathay
3:58
Pacific so is this going to check
4:01
whether we are up to the company's
4:02
standard the most important thing that
4:04
we have noticed the route breathing the
4:07
first thing is going to be likely on
4:09
route 2
4:09
and the emergency procedure as well when
4:12
to contact the air traffic agency as
4:14
well a smooth operation depends on an
4:17
accurate planning so in the dispatch we
4:19
will look through a couple of important
4:21
documents the most important document is
4:23
going to be the company's pie pan which
4:25
including the flight time the aircraft
4:27
that we are using and the destination
4:30
weather and the most important bit is
4:32
going to be the few that we are going to
4:34
carry that day view is very important to
4:37
us we need to know the field policy from
4:39
back to front and every flight we need
4:41
to make sure there is enough fuel on
4:42
board for operation and especially if
4:45
there are traffic delays weather
4:47
deterioration and other unforeseen
4:48
circumstances chopping around the world
4:51
can be quite tiring and the way that I
4:53
get rid of that is through exercise I'm
4:56
a member of the company fencing team and
4:58
if I process available
5:00
I usually go back to cafe city and do
5:03
some practice also Cafe Pacific and like
5:06
to spend time with my family and friends
5:07
during sports or having a decent meal
5:10
with them makes me relaxed and ready for
5:12
my next operation since I joined Cathay
5:15
I've done quite a few snow balling truth
5:16
with by pilot friends and we also head
5:18
out on the beach on a good summer day
5:20
it's a unique lifestyle that gives you
5:22
quality time to spend with your friends
5:23
about two years of time of being a
5:26
second officer then we will start to
5:28
prepare the second officer Teleco in the
5:30
field this is where we test our system
5:33
knowledge and everything in the company
5:36
before you're considered to be promoted
5:39
to a junior first officer the way that
5:41
we do it is actually it's more than nine
5:44
checking actually because you
5:45
to knock through everything like the
5:47
aircraft menu company procedures and
5:50
sometimes we may even have to go to the
5:52
mock-up to look through all the system
5:54
mechanics of the area after all the
5:56
preparation we have to go through a test
5:58
and we're going to face the training
6:00
captain we ask lots of questions
6:02
it's okay if you can't answer every
6:05
single question that asked by the train
6:06
captain
6:07
however is the most important thing is
6:10
you have know where to find your
6:11
information and how to think logically
6:13
within the safety finally aviation is a
6:17
dynamic industry so we have to be
6:19
flexible
6:19
both airline pilot will have only one
6:22
waiting for their whole career at Cafe
6:24
Pacific we provide different
6:26
opportunities like changing your
6:28
aircraft rating or even changing your
6:30
group from a cruise relief pilot to a
6:33
junior first officer is actually a
6:34
massive change so everything we learn in
6:37
the past will be the future of our
6:39
career
