    • 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.

    • ATPL Insights, Part 3 – From Frozen ATPL to the Right Seat

      ATPL Insights, Part 3 – From Frozen ATPL to the Right Seat
      Feb 1 2026
      Episode 13 of Aviation-Quest.cc – Stories from Above concludes the ATPL Insight Series with the phase every flight student dreams of — and often underestimates: turning a frozen ATPL into a real airline cockpit seat. Airbus A320 first officer Stefan Lorenz takes host Jürgen Reis through the most demanding stretch of his journey: the years after flight school. Recorded with a 2025 industry perspective, Stefan explains why today’s pilot shortage offers unprecedented opportunities — while airlines remain as selective as ever when it comes to screening and selection. Drawing from his own career during the financial crisis of 2008–2009, Stefan shares how he faced hundreds of applications, long periods without job offers, and the financial pressure of maintaining licenses. Instead of giving up, he kept his skills sharp through networking, simulator work on aircraft like the Boeing 737 and even the iconic 747, and relentless preparation. The episode offers rare first-hand insight into high-end airline assessments — including psychological testing, simulator evaluations, and the mindset required to succeed at elite selection centers such as the DLR. Stefan explains why finishing flight school is often just the beginning, why persistence matters more than talent, and why global mobility can be a decisive factor in a pilot’s career. Honest, motivating, and grounded in real-world experience, this episode is essential listening for anyone aiming for an airline career — revealing what it truly takes to move from frozen ATPL to the right seat of an Airbus.
