@felix07ish that's exactly right! Airplanes land with a headwind, not a tailwind. Sometimes the tower will "turn the airport around" or at an uncontrolled airport you simply chose the most favorable runway.
My home airport. Such a beautiful place. The lookout next to the resteraunt is a great place to plane spot with your kids and the runway so close makes for great views 👍🏻
Chris, please do a few more sectional chart reading sessions as you did in this video. Then keep adding more information. For example as you talk about the airspace, you then add on VFR requirements etc. Your sectional reading is the best I have seen among so many others. The red markings are so helpful. Many other videos are difficult to follow simply because I can't follow the little pointer fast enough, especially on the small screen of a phone, and the presenter tends to talk too fast.
Outstanding advice! I'm going to share this with my students. In the Army, we have the value of 'Selfless Service'. Servant leadership and humility are KEY both in the cockpit and the work/social environment. Be humble, and OTHER people will brag for you. It's even key for Crew Resource Management and ADM. Like the blue angels say in their debriefs... "Happy to be here boss." Even the LEAD. Thanks for this!
Well said @ronsflightsimlab9512! I remember as a young ROTC cadet attending Airborne school seeing a newly minted 2LT helping a PFC shine his boots before formation one morning. It left a permanent mark on my memory of what to be...
Long time Airline Pilot here. Your recommendations are spot on. We are all qualified or we wouldn’t be here. We need to work together as a team. We need to contribute and take criticism in order to grow. At the major airlines, after the probationary period, Pilots are almost never fired for lack of competency, they are fired for their personalities. Being a pain in everyone’s ass and the company building a large file of incidents that you caused, will eventually get you hated by all and eventually fired. In my opinion, the two worst traits in my flying partner are arrogance and incompetence.
Nice explanations but assuming we know all that is bizzare. You end up skipping stuff I don't know and apperently I need to know all that to fly a drone.
Hi Chris. You have done really great video. Thanks a lot. I’m CFI with 660 hours, trying to figure which route to choose 121 or 135. As of right now I would like to get a job as SIC. Want to get couple advices from you. Should I pay for the type? Or it’s too early for me ? How I can get in touch with you?
A really clear technical & practical explanation of this subject. Interesting how the Air Speed dropped from 94 to 90 knots when the engine was being leaned & climbed again when the mixture was made rich corresponding to changes in RPM.
