    Mentour Pilot with Petter Hörnfeldt – Aviation, Mentorship & the Mentour Group
    Feb 22 2026
    In this special 16th episode of aviation-quest.cc – Stories from Above, host Jürgen Reis welcomes Petter Hörnfeldt, widely known as the creator of Mentour Pilot, and today the driving force behind a growing aviation media ecosystem. What started more than ten years ago as a single YouTube channel has evolved into what Petter now calls the Mentour Group — including Mentour Pilot, Mentour Now!, and The Captain’s Speaking – An Aviation Podcast. Behind these projects stands a dedicated team, clearly defined roles, and countless hours of preparation, research, and production to deliver aviation content at the highest professional level. In this wide-ranging conversation, Petter speaks openly about his own aviation background, the phases of his career that shaped him most, and how mentorship became a central pillar of his work. Together, they discuss: - The origins and growth of Mentour Pilot and its expansion into multiple channels - Mentour Now! and The Captain’s Speaking – An Aviation Podcast as new formats for deeper discussion - The people and roles working behind the scenes of the Mentour Group - The workload and responsibility that come with large-scale aviation education - The mission statement behind Mentour Pilot and its focus on safety and realism - Honest, experience-based advice for young pilots considering a professional career - Crucial factors to evaluate before investing time and money into flight training - Which phases of Petter’s own career influenced him most as a pilot and mentor - Future plans for the continued growth of the Mentour Group - Petter’s personal definition of success — measured not in clicks or downloads, but in impact Recorded on January 20th, 2026, this episode offers rare insight into the person behind some of aviation’s most influential educational platforms. A thoughtful and grounded conversation for aspiring pilots, aviation professionals, and anyone interested in how modern aviation mentorship works in practice.

  • 20 Years of FSClips – Inside a YouTube Aviation Legend

    20 Years of FSClips – Inside a YouTube Aviation Legend
    Feb 15 2026
    Episode 15 of Aviation-Quest.cc – Stories from Above Few YouTube channels can claim a 20-year history — and even fewer have aged as gracefully as FSClips. In this episode, Stefan joins host Jürgen Reis for a rare, honest, and deeply insightful conversation about what it really means to run a high-quality aviation channel across two decades of constant platform change. Recorded in January 2026, ahead of FSClips’ 20th anniversary in early July, this episode also serves as a small piece of YouTube history: Stefan explains how the platform worked in its early days, why FSClips didn’t start as a clockwork-style weekly channel — and how it eventually evolved into the calm, consistent, and professional format viewers know today. Together, they explore: - The origins of FSClips and how long-term success on YouTube looked before algorithms ruled everything - Stefan’s understated style, from A320 deep dives to other aircraft, real cockpit footage, simulations, and games - A rare strategic outlook on which types of videos he wants to pursue in the future — and which he consciously leaves behind - A detailed walkthrough of the famous Kai Tak chessboard approach, from research and flight planning to recording, editing, and upload - The surprising number of hours behind a 15–20 minute YouTube video - Recommended PC hardware for enjoying flight simulation as a hobby — not just as a content creator - What Stefan is most proud of after 20 years of FSClips One unforgettable story stands out: “Can we fly 23 hrs non-stop?” — a flight-sim recreation of a real-world record flight. A night that ended with step climbs at 4 a.m., a wake-up call from his son at 5:30, and something very close to real jet lag — all for a YouTube video. This episode is not about chasing trends. It’s about craft, consistency, curiosity, and calm authority — and why FSClips remains relevant after two decades in one of the fastest-moving digital environments imaginable.
