donnyguns1 Thank you Donny. Before you spend some money with a ground instructor you might wish to take a peak at our courses. In your case I would probably recommend the Private Pilot Check-Ride Prep software as its also an excellent companion for a BFR which is what you will be doing. If you are also IFR rated and are thinking of doing an IPC then you might also want to purchase the Instrument Check-Ride Prep software. They are available for all devices online at: passfaaexams.com/faa-check-ride-prep-software/ or on iTunes at: itunes.apple.com/us/artist/pts-gs/id552335173 Lucas

Thank you! Your English is very clear to us foreigners. And not like the other teachers, you don't speak too fast. This helps us understand every points of the video clearly!

Always the best videos, I love your explanations and visuals, your videos are perfect to follow along with as a beginner! Thank you Luca 😁

Thanks... Great schooling...! Gordon.... (one of your students questions referred to surface winds for flight log planning .... He should know that surface winds are reported as "magnetic" while winds aloft are reported as "true"...)

I'm sure someone has already mentioned it but what you put under Course is your TC, that + WCA is your TH, and that with variation applied is your MH. And that with deviation applied is your CH.

Gian Luca you did it again, thank you so much!

Well, you could fly from KNUW if you were in an F-18 Growler, because that is NAS Whidbey! Maybe KBVS - Skagit Regional with a clearance per the frequency box for KNUW would be the best choice. Fly around or fly over the airspace if no clearance were granted! I fly this area from both KAWO & KBVS. 😎

Great video gian, can you demonstrate something a little harder, such as an inter-island flight in hawaii where you are over water and there aren't visual cues for check points?

I really enjoy the great contents you posted

Hi, what software are you using that utilizes the navigation plotter?

This video is really helpful for beginners but how did you start off your altitude at 3000 feet? Shouldn't you calculate the fuel quantity for the climbout and everything?

Especially during your climb, your airspeed is never going to be the same as ground speed.

Cheers , very helpful and clearly presented

so helpful! thank you so much!

Just saying how do you get this charts???

CAUTION: Misinformation at 8 min 20 sec. Variation is not the difference between TC and TH. Other than that, love the video and the effort you put into it.

@SPY_DAD

Agrred. But only that...they say that TC is the course corrected for WCA that is wrong! True course is the desired direction of flight as measured on a chart, clockwise from true north! TH is TC corrected for WCA...MC is the TH corrected for variation and CH is the MH corrected for deviation.

NICE !!!

Great review...

Your POH has data table for climbing to altitude, time, fuel burn.

Isn't 4.28 minutes 4 minutes and 16 seconds?. you should multiply the decimal by 60 to give you your seconds. This goes for hours also. 4.28 hours = 4 hours and 16. 8 minutes

Hi Lucas, Thank you for the video firstly. I'm a little confused with the intial part of the flight plan towards getting distance for TOC. Is it ok to substitute 90KTS for 90mph,considering 1KT =1.5mph. How did you also get 4.5 minutes? Thanks in advance!

@GianLucaNoia

9 жыл бұрын

***** For the TOC distance you should refer to you POH. Now if your airspeed indicator shows MPH rather than knots then yes you should convert it but 1.5 is too much 1 KT = 1.15078 so 90 KT = 103.57. Finally to find out the climb time you would also refer to the climb performance of your POH. It will give you time, distance and fuel used.

how did you do it can you share with me , thank you

Very nice and very difficult...

Hello Lucas, Could you please point out a formula with which we can calculate our FUEL ( without e6b )

@GianLucaNoia

Karim Hasnawi Simple. Let's say your fuel consumption is 9 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) and your total flight time will be 4 hours and 36 minutes. All you need to do is multiply 9 x 4.6 to get an answer of 41.4 Gallons. The reason I multiplied 9 (the GPH) times 4.6 is because: 36 minutes is 36/60 of an hour which equals .6. In other words each 6 minutes is .1 of an hour, add to that 4 hours and you have 4.6 hours.

if the windaloft prediction is at 3 Pm and then at 5 PM but flight is at 4 PM then do we need to interpolate or just use 5 PM winds? Thanks in advance

@GianLucaNoia

8 жыл бұрын

the 6-hour forecasts are usable from the time they are issued until 3 hours after the valid time. The 12 hour forecasts are usable from -3 to +6 hours of the valid time and 24 hour forecasts are usable from -6 to +6 hours of the valid time. The products are issued 4 times daily. So if the winds were issued at 3 PM (your local time) a 5 PM flight could use either forecast.

3000 ft at 9 degrees give you a true airspeed of 109 kts. Where are you getting 115 from?

@alsnyder7017

First leg's readings are actually 111, 291, 21, 201. Therefore, the correct course is 201. However, not a big deviation, only 2 degrees (from 199). Yet, I'd prefer that the author agree this correction to prevent further confusion.

How and where did you find your winds for the flight? I know why you chose 3000ft, but where did you find that at?

Hello Luca! I have a question about the winds aloft. If I am planning 4500 cruise altitude. There is no FD for 3000 feet and next column is 6000 feet. should I go for 6000 feet numbers?

@GianLucaNoia

9 жыл бұрын

Guilherme Pereira Yes Mr. Pereira definitely. Do not interpolate between surface winds and 6000 feet as, generally, they will be quite different because of surface friction. Also keep in mind that if the winds at 3,000 feet are not shown it means that the reporting station elevation is at least 1,500 feet MSL and could be as high as 4,449 feet MSL (no winds are forecast within 1,500 feet of the station elevation). Flying at 4,500 feet might put you dangerously close to the ground.

When you tqke the written test. Do they provide you with a plotter. Or do u need to bring one. One test wuestion asked for the time in route. But gave you no distance or heading information to calculate groundspeed. So you would need plotter to find distance and heading. ????

Gian Luca Noia thank you. Last question about your quizes. This one really bugs me. On density altitiude chart questions. If i use the cx2 and enter the numbers to find density altitude. I get the question wrong. Where as if i use the chart provided. Which is less acurate i get a diffrence answer that is the correct one. Are the answers to the question based off the chart and not the exact number on the cx-2? Because now i am afraid to use the cx2 on my test if it gives me the wrong answers.

How do we draw a straight line if distance is longer than length of plotter and do we need to use winds aloft for each way point or just one wind aloft from origin of flight is ok? Thanks in advance

@GianLucaNoia

8 жыл бұрын

You can easily use a yardstick or just any long straight object to trace the line then draw the checkpoints. That done use the plotter to calculate the distances between them. Add them all up to get the total distance. For the winds you should use at least three stations for a long X-C (more if in a mountainous region).

I understand that the winds aloft for 3000 feet were 030 at 14. My question is, why did you use those winds for the takeoff to the TOC? This always messes me up in trying to fill out a proper flight log. For example, if the winds aloft for my chosen altitude of 6000 feet were 3000 at 20, what winds would I use during the climb phase? Surely they are not 3000 at 20. My next question is that 90 knots you used, were did you get that from? Is that the Vy speed from the POH? If so then it's ok to enter indicated airspeed into the column of true airspeed on the nav log?

@GianLucaNoia

9 жыл бұрын

The best thing to do is average out the winds but do not use the surface winds. For example the winds at 3000 are 250 at 12 and at 6000 320 at 15 then average out the winds for the climb at 285 at 13 knots. And yes the 90 knots was just a starting random number. What you need to do is find the true airspeed for a given configuration from the POH and you can use that for the Nav Log.

@bugnut82

9 жыл бұрын

Gian Luca Noia Thanks for the fast reply. I understand better with the winds now. Now regarding the airspeeds, my POH shows the TAS for a given power setting at a certain pressure alt, which I enter onto the navlog as my TAS.During the climb though, all my POH shows as far as I know is the Vy Vx speeds, which are indicated. So during the climb phase, is it ok to enter the indicated airspeed in the TAS column as my reference ?

@GianLucaNoia

9 жыл бұрын

bugnut82 Yes you would use Vy or higher for better engine cooling and greater speed (unless you need to clear an obstacle). Entering the indicated is fine as long as you aren't climbing to 40,000 feet and the temperature is way off standard.

@bugnut82

Gian Luca Noia Cool thanks again. Sorry to pepper you with a bunch of questions, but I have more. Since you said I can average the winds during the climb phase, that would affect my ground speed. For example, if I am climbing at Vy (75) and I entered that onto my nav log under the TAS column, when trying to get my ground speed, it's ok to use 75 as the TAS even though it's indicated only?

where do you get the calibrated airspeed of 110??

@GianLucaNoia

CAS and TAS are obtained from the POH

@Calvinl07

Thanks for your reply. Is CAS IAS?

@747-pilot

6 жыл бұрын

Calvin Watson CAS or calibrated airspeed is IAS (indicated airspeed) corrected for errors and such in the aircraft's airspeed indicator. There is a table in the performance section of your pilot's operating handbook that gives you the CAS for various IAS and different flap settings. TAS is CAS corrected for the pressure altitude above sea level and as a rough approximation, TAS is roughly 2% higher for every 1000ft above sea level. So, for example, at 6000ft MSL if you obtain a CAS of 80kts, it will mean a TAS of about 90kts. This is just to explain the theory. However, as mentioned above, for purposes of flight planning, you can obtain the KTAS from the POH (under "cruise performance"), which is given for various pressure altitudes and temperatures, at a particular engine RPM setting. For example, I fly a Cessna 152 and if I plan to fly at an altitude of 4000ft and the temperature is 20C above standard (15C), then my POH says at an RPM setting of 2300 (typical cruise for the 152), the TAS will be 95 with a fuel consumption of 4.9 GPH.

I'm so freaking frustrated. All of this hinges on the wind info. WHERE DO YOU GET THE WIND INFO!!!!

Did you really just take 90 knots divide by 60 Mph to get 1.5 miles per minute. Check your units! 1 knot = 1.15 mph. 90 knots = 103.57 which is roughly 1.7 miles per minute. Check your math before publishing this... and that many views.
