00:00A lot of kids dream of becoming a pilot.
00:05How exciting is the idea that you're the one flying the airplane, right?
00:09Now, if you want to experience being a pilot for a day,
00:13that can happen.
00:15Here, join us because we're boarding for our first adventure.
00:24Starstruck alumnus and actor Kelvin Santos
00:27only dreamed of becoming a pilot.
00:29And in 2021, Kelvin obtained his license as a commercial pilot.
00:36But for those who only dream of flying an airplane,
00:40we have good news for you.
00:42A recreational flight simulator is now an attraction in Mandaluyong City,
00:47the first of its kind in the Philippines.
00:50Meaning, you can try flying the airbus 320 without going up to the ground.
00:57That's the challenge for the dramatic lead star, Mikey Quimbos.
01:02I've always been curious about what the cockpit looks like.
01:05And today, I'm going to feel how it feels to be sitting there like a captain,
01:11like a real captain.
01:13Amazing people, I'm ready. Are you ready?
01:20I'm really curious why there's a dog inside.
01:22We started as an online community.
01:24Our founder, David, has no idea what to name the page, basically.
01:30It's in front of Sputnik.
01:32His dog is Sputnik.
01:3410-year-old Labrador.
01:36Our goal, that's why we introduced the Sputnik Aviation Airline Experience,
01:40is to let other people experience how to be a pilot.
01:44This is open to everyone.
01:46Today, he will experience being a pilot.
01:50The whole facility is like an airport.
01:53It's like a real airport.
01:55Yes, I can hear it. It's like a real airport.
01:58I can hear it. Can you hear that?
02:01That's why you'll really feel like you're flying your flight.
02:04And it's not just a simple flight.
02:06First class.
02:08Now, Mikey will go straight to the most exciting part of the Airbus 320,
02:12the cockpit.
02:14Amazing people, this is it.
02:15I'm finally flying the Airbus 320.
02:19Welcome aboard.
02:20Welcome aboard.
02:21This is our business class seat.
02:23I will be flying with my co-captain, Captain Rome, here.
02:27Yes, I'm the captain. He's the co-captain.
02:30Let's go!
02:32Back a lock, amazing people.
02:34Because later, Captain Mikey Quintos will fly with us.
02:38Stay tuned.
02:39After check-in, our amazing adventurer will go straight to the cockpit of the Airbus 320.
02:44Let's go.
02:45Let's join him in his maiden flight as a pilot.
02:49On January 2, Sputnik Aviation opened.
02:53Flight level 130 blue.
02:56Our beloved Mikey Quintos is excited about his flight.
03:00What airport do I see here?
03:03Right now, we're here at runway 24 of Catitlan.
03:07Catitlan Boracay?
03:08Yes, Catitlan Boracay.
03:09Correct.
03:10This is where all the airports in the world are located.
03:13I can do it.
03:14Yes.
03:15Oh my gosh.
03:16It's a short flight like Catitlan to Manila.
03:18It can be one hour.
03:19Because normally, those who have a session here, it's just one hour.
03:22I wanna try flying here and see the beach over like on an aerial view.
03:29So, shall we?
03:30Yes.
03:31Okay, let's go.
03:32I shall press the PA now.
03:37Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
03:40Please fasten your seatbelts and get ready for takeoff.
03:43Enjoy the flight.
03:46Oh my gosh.
03:50See?
03:51Oh no.
03:52See?
03:53Okay, let's go.
03:54Then, when I say pull, not yet.
03:57Pull now.
03:58Pull the stick.
04:00The stick.
04:01Then, look at the instrument here.
04:03Follow the flight director.
04:05There you go.
04:06Follow it.
04:07Mikey.
04:08This is the flight director.
04:10Oh my gosh.
04:14It's almost 15,000 and we're trying to reach it.
04:16This is the one we adjusted earlier.
04:19Let's follow it.
04:20One.
04:21Yeah, just follow it.
04:23Small inputs.
04:25Now, what did he say?
04:26A little to the right.
04:27Right.
04:28Request descent.
04:30Sputnik 07.
04:32Control.
04:33Descend and maintain flight level 160.
04:36Yeah, push more.
04:39Okay, there you go.
04:40There you go.
04:41It's now descending.
04:43We're descending.
04:45We're landing.
04:47This water is deep, Captain.
04:50We might crash.
04:55I can see the runway.
04:56Yeah.
04:57We're landing.
04:58I can see the runway.
04:59If I could rate my experience from 1 to 5,
05:02I would say it's a 5.
05:04Definitely.
05:05Because never in my life would I imagine that I would experience flying this.
05:11Overall, I think landing is the hardest part.
05:14You need to consider a lot of things.
05:16You need to check a lot of things as a pilot,
05:18but it's a full-blown experience.
05:21Just keep digging.
05:25Just keep going.
05:26Keep going.
05:28Then, just keep going.
05:30Pull up a little bit.
05:31Okay.
05:32Then, regard the...
05:38Nice landing.
05:39Really?
05:40Nice landing.
05:42Yay!
05:43Okay.
05:44Right?
05:45Okay, so we'll just stop on the runway.
05:47Basically, of course, we're going to eat an air traffic controller.
05:49Thank you so much, Captain.
05:51It's a pleasure.
05:52Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for an amazing adventure.
05:58That's the unique challenge that Mikey faced with Flying Colors.
06:10Thank you.
