  Why doesn't the FAA print the final fourth digit (0) for altimeter settings in the Pressure Altitude Correction Chart? All altimeter settings are given with four digits. I already know, FAA...........

  That is a really good question. I suspect it is to keep the chart small enough to fit easily within the testing supplement. I’ve looked and not found a chart that has more index values. If you know of one, please let me know and I’ll get it posted. Thanks for the comment!

  Let me try to dumb this down for myself. Second example problem: 1. The altitude I need for the answer is 1300ft. That falls between 2000ft and 1000ft on the chart. Subtracting those gets us 1000ft. 2. Now we need a magic number between 1300ft and the lower value. So subtract 1300ft from 1000ft. We get 300ft. 3. Now you need the difference between the ground roll distances. (Our ground roll distance must be between the two since it's in between numbers on the chart) So that's 785ft - 715ft = 70ft. 4. Now we have all the numbers we need. The difference in values between the number we need for the answer (1000) The difference between our answer value and the first number (300) And the answer number difference(70) Getting the numbers seems to be the hardest part, now just plug those numbers into the formula. 5. Magic number(300) multiplied by answer number difference(70) = 21000. 21000 divided by our first number(1000) = 21. We have a ground roll between 785 and 715. So it makes sense to add our 21 to the smaller number So the answer is 715 + 21 736!

  @monkeybrains911 The answer we are looking for (in this case the takeoff distance) should be the same *relative* distance from the top Resulting Value as the magic number is from the first Index Value. Since the two sets of numbers aren’t the same, we need to calculate a percentage to help us determine where to place the answer. Then multiplying the difference in Resulting values will result in the number to add or subtract from the first one. Let me give a different quick example. Same problem, but let’s say we wanted to find the take off distance for a pressure altitude of 1,500ft. You’ll notice this is exactly halfway between 1000 and 2000. With that in mind, and knowing the answer is the same *relative* distance from the Resulting Values, the answer will be exactly halfway between 715ft and 785ft. Since these two are 70ft apart, halfway would be 35ft from either number or 745ft. Without calculating step 2, you won’t be able to determine the relative distance between the “magic number” and the index values. It is this concept of ratios and percentages that often messes people up when trying to interpolate. That’s why I tried to simplify it down to the five step process. If you use the process, you can just plug in the index values, the resulting values, and the intermediate number, then do the arithmetic to get your answer-no need to set up, then simplify the ratios each time. I hope this helps. Thanks for the questions.

They are Scheffield School of Aeronautics and Shepperd Air. Both appear to have many good reviews. Hopefully, this will point you in the right direction. Good luck in your preparation!

  Had a dpe tell me this yesterday in an instrument check ride. Why would you spend time writing all of that out when you can simply say 91.205 and open up your far/aim? So true. I think from a dpe’s perspective you having an in depth understanding of the far/aim is better than memorizing some dumb acronym. I guess at the end of the day they both satisfy the requirement, one just looks more professional and the other makes you look like a 5th grader. I will be learning chapter and part numbers from now on.

  I agree. Understanding (and being able to apply) the CFR is the critical piece. The challenge (and danger) with ATOMATOFLAMES, FLAPS, GRABCARD, etc. when trying to determine airworthiness is that it is only part of the decision-making process. While they can be useful, relying only them can definitely get someone in trouble. Thanks for the comment.

  How come for “rounding pessimistically” for the airport elevation we go down, but cruise altitude we go up? Thank u so much for a fantastic video ! Subscribed

• 
  @ScottKoonCFI3 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the question. It is a very good one. My reasoning is that the least desirable outcome would be to climb for a longer period of time because it would use more fuel. The larger the difference between the pressure altitude of the airport and the pressure altitude of cruise the longer the climb would take. With that in mind, I rounded the cruise altitude up and the airport elevation down. I hope that helps. Thanks again for the question! And thanks for the Subscribe!!

  There are a couple of exceptions, but generally, “yes”. Probably the biggest exception is if you are flying 3,000 or less AGL. But, in general, as long as you are reversing the route, your altitude should be different. I hope this helps.

  Hi Scott,may i ask you a question? When I do X-C planing,for the performance part,should we use PA or DA to calculate T/O and Landing distance? And for cruise performance charts,should I use PA or DA to find the TAS and fuel burn rate in the table?Thanks.

• 
  @ScottKoonCFI9 күн бұрын

  The answer is “it depends”. It should say on the performance chart whether to start with Pressure Altitude or Density Altitude. Most I’ve seen base their performance charts on Pressure Altitude, then correct for temperature. However, there may be some out there that just use Density Altitude. I hope this helps. Thanks for the question!

  Anyone that needs a pnemonic like ATOMATOFLAMES should not be flying. That’s the kind of crap you use to get through a test, then quickly forget in the real world. Just write it down on a paper or card, for Christ’s sake.

• 
  @ScottKoonCFI9 күн бұрын

  I both disagree and agree with you. Using these does not make a person unfit to fly. These tools are exactly the kind of thing you use to get through the tests, and the tests are requirements to become a pilot. I was asked to list (from memory) required equipment on six of the check rides I took. Instrument training adds even more to the list, so mnemonics like this are very helpful. However, knowing required equipment is only part of the picture. And, as you imply, once the testing is complete, understanding and following 91.213 (and the other CFRs) is much more important. Thanks.

  Had this DPE that would not allow me to look up anything. Could not use the FAR-AIM, ACS and or the weather legend. There was a chart symbol that I did not know and wanted to look it up on the chart legend. He wanted me to list all the items in a convective sigmet as such as size of the hail, percent precipitation, at least 3000 square miles. I only stated a couple of the items them including severe thunderstorms. I did not know the hail size of the 40 percent precipitation... He would not allow me to look it up in the FAR-AIM. I had it tab and could of looked it up in a flash. Then I got asked about thunderstorms. He asked me how lightening was created and I was not able to explain other than it was created by electricity. I was explaining what went on in the mature stage of a thunderstorm and I said rain, thunder, lightening, turbulent,up and down. This was not enough to satisfy him. I was asked on how lightening is created and I stated it was caused by a charge of electricity but that was not enough. Then he kept switching back and fourth between sigmet and airmets. At that time I became flustered, I stated airmet instead of Cigmet - got them mixed up by accident and tried to correct my self but it was to late. . He asked me about airmets, Tango Zulu and Sierra. I was explaining about Sierra, Mountain obscurations. When I said Mountain obscurations, that was not enough he wanted more on which I did not understand. Then he issued me a disapproval. Question, Do DPS's try to trip you up and go to this kind of detail and not let you look up anything in FAA approved material? I understand that somethings you should know without looking up such as VFR min, airspace, understand AGL, MSL, basic aerodynamics, and the like. This DPE has issued a Disapproval to another student pilot at my flight school the other day. His friend had a weather related flight accident some years ago. Also, The DPE had trouble with my application and appeared that he had trouble with the computer. I had to help him with my computer. Took about 1.5 hours for that. We were into the ground for about an hour. He kept the complete 1000 bucks. No credit either. He also said that his oral is about 3 hours long after the application and review of the log book process. Any tips on how to pass a PPL check-ride. Not sure if I am able to do so if the DPE's are like this. PS, I had three mock checkride orals with different CFI's all of them said I would pass. Any tricks on how to pass.
