There’s no denying that North Korea has been on a roll lately. I mean, first they made it to the finals of the most recent World Cup (I’m not actually sure if they ended up winning or not):
And now video has emerged of Kim Jong Un flying an Antonov An-148:
If the whole wanting to be world dictator thing doesn’t work out for the munchkin, he has a bright future as an Air Koryo pilot!
Take that, Obama!

JMR nails it.
I'm sorry guys, but you're all wrong. The great leader was the sole inspiration for the AN-148, especially built to fulfill his wishes. The person you see at 1:02 was getting some lessons from the Great Leader and him not using the throttles is because he controls the mind of the co-pilot. Furthermore, he doesn't need to look at anything he reads from the check list, because he's only checking if the Antonov company has complied to his wishes. He already knows what the situation is. Jeezzz... you think way too much as simple mortals, the Great Leader is 15 steps ahead of you! :)
To the best of my knowledge most pilots would instinctively look at what is indicated it the checklist (Flaps 15, look to see flaps are set 15) and probably do not just flip though it...
ben - North Korea did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals. Do not rely on youtube for your info!!
