An experienced pilot has revealed the one question he is frequently asked by the public that leaves him just as puzzled as them.

With over 15,000 followers on his account, where he shares stories and insights from inside the cockpit, TikTok user @PerchPilot confessed that the general public often 'overestimates' the knowledge of pilots and crew when it comes to navigating an airport.

"The general public overestimates what pilots and air crew actually know," he admitted. "If someone stops me and asks for directions to their gate, or maybe information about their flight, I am happy to help because, obviously, we are more familiar with the system and understanding how this stuff works.

"But, in the grand scheme of things, we don't have special access - or necessarily more information about someone's flight, other than our own."

"So, 99.9% of the time, what ends up happening when someone asks me about their flight all I do is pull out Google and ask 'hey, what's your flight number? ' [and relay the information from there]."

Many of the American pilot's followers were surprised to learn that he had the same information as everyone else in the airport when it came to different flights, reports the Express.

"They probably believe you pulled that information from a cool, super secret Pilot App! " one commented.

The pilot further explained: "If someone approaches me and their flight is delayed, and they're a little curious about it, I'll go a step further and I'll pull it up on FlightAware and [on the app] you can click 'where is my flight now?' We don't have special access to stuff or infinite knowledge - we just use Google."

FlightAware is an app that tracks flights, providing live tracking maps, flight status, and airport delays. The pilot's other videos cover a range of topics raised by his viewers, from the importance of switching phones to airplane mode, to questions he has for more experienced pilots.
