@@FreePilotTraining thank you Josh for the interest in my thoughts. Given that I have not flown an airplane in a long time and I am only a PPL ASEL, I think I should be more reserved in sharing my observations, opinions, and thoughts. It is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, I don’t want to become one without having paid the dues. What I can do is contrast my training experiences with what I see you doing with Hagen. With that said… Hagen’s level of being prepared for the sortie has increased on each sortie you have posted. He appears to not be as surprised by what is being presented in the airplane as he was in the first two sorties. There are two things happening on the sorties that should be independent, in my opinion, overall flight training and video production technical difficulties. Making them independent is a challenge because they are both happening simultaneously and real time. Hagen’s goal is learning airmanship and it is a singular goal. Conversely, you have multiple goals primary being safety and teaching; secondary being creating inclusive of documentary and video production of both Hagen’s and your experiences contributing to the mission of your channel. Syllabus… it should build on foundational knowledge and understanding. In the training environment things are very fluid and sometimes training opportunities present themselves that were not planned but are teachable moments. In general the training syllabus, in my opinion, should prepare Hagen or the student in general for the sortie mission. The syllabus should be such that nothing briefed or executed on the sortie is a surprise. Looking forward to sortie number four.

I've learned more watching these "lesson" videos than I did on my first two so-called lessons with the CFI that I just stopped working with. I wish you were closer; I'd ask if you had time for another student. I'm out west.

Hey, I’m a student pilot and I was wondering about how the weight of the airplane affects the best glide speed and if there is some sort of formula to calculate it

@FreePilotTraining

11 ай бұрын

I’m not sure if there’s a formula, but the POH typically specifies a specific glide speed for a couple different weights. This Cherokee recommends 60 knots at 1,650 pounds or 69 knots at full gross, so as you can see, heavier weights, you typically need faster airspeeds, and if you’re halfway between these weights, I’d target 65 knots

i wouldn't put carb heat in a cherokee on approach or landing , poh states only as needed. correct me if i ' m wrong

@FreePilotTraining

Ай бұрын

Great point. The POH does say that. I’ve done extensive research and talked to many A&Ps. The consensus is that carb heat should not be used for an extended period of time at full power. It’s totally fine to operate it at idle during an approach

Hey Josh. Off topic here. Look at the RNAV36 at KLBO. In know it’s not authorized but what is a GLS PA DA? Something with a decision altitude? Never heard of it.

So, it appears to be something that might eventually replace the ILS. I believe it woks very similar to an LPV approach, but they are designing it to be a true precision approach as an LPV is still technically not a precision approach even though it has a DA

Another question -- I asked before but forgot what you said; you're calling the Cherokee a pig. The one I'm working on buying is the 150 hp model. Last I checked, a 172 is 100 hp heavier with 5 less hp. Would a prop upgrade or a STOL kit (if I could find one) fix the "pig" issues, short of the 160 hp or ($$$) the 180 hp/O-360 upgrade?

Thats an unfair comparison. You should have compared a Warrior to the Skyhawk. The 140 would be more comparable to a 150. One great feature of the 172 is it is rated for spins. The Warrior Gross’s out at 2325 and has a faster cruise than the 172. Apples to Apples, Oranges to Oranges please.

This is a good point, but if you think about it. This video speaks volumes about the quality of aircraft that Piper produces. They built this aircraft to compete with the 150, it blows that airplane out of the water and is nearly as good of not better than the 172. Maybe I could compare the warrior in a future video. That would be fun

What year /model is your Cherokee? I own a 1970 Cherokee 140. I’ve never seen a Cherokee that you had to use Carb Heat in the traffic pattern like a 172. My POH specifies No Carb Heat unless needed. And I’ve never seen a Cherokee that as per the POH , you had to retract first notch “Immediately “ after a stall. Looks like the airplane dropped when you did that. Just curious.

I believe it’s a 68. My POH says the same thing. I’ve talked to many mechanics about this and believe that carb heat is needed at low power settings and high humidity with temps between 40-70 degrees. Using it regularly isn’t going to hurt anything. You just want to avoid use at full power
