This channel is dedicated to helping other student pilots learn how to perform the calculations necessary to pass the FAA Private Pilot Written exam. When I studied for the exam I could not find step by step instructions as to how to solve the problems, so I decided to create these instructions and share them with other students.
I’ve found that true internalization comes from experience. You memorize and drill material to pass these tests but it only makes sense to you once you encounter it in the real world…once you’ve been using TAFs for a while in a practical setting, once your brain gets used to operating under Coordinated Universal Time in your local environment for a while, once you’ve entered on the 45 at numerous airports after glancing down at the wind sock/circle, etc. Theory and memorization only get you so far. Experience is what ultimately makes sense of this type of information.

If the temperature is at standard shouldn’t the density altitude be the same as pressure altitude since density altitude is pressure altitude correct for non standard temperature.
I had to click on this video because of the title. You stating you got a 97% on your exam just made me laugh. It also says this video was from 8 years ago which I believe because about four years ago a private company has taken over all computer tests and they are refusing to publish the newer questions. So, now this video of yours is totally not current. No one today will get a 97% on there test because the test has changed and the company who is writing the questions are not publishing the tests. I know a lot about this because I have taken a LOT of these tests. Just go look at the FAA Airman registry for my name and you will see some of what I am qualified for. What you will not see there is my 40 years experience as a pilot and as an examiner or that I am a Gold seal and Master CFI. So, I know a little bit about what I am talking about. You saying at the beginning of this video that you are a "Doctor" made me laugh because you guys are the ones that normally kill yourself in some high performance aircraft because you have more money than brains. As a professional pilot I have met a lot of doctors and lawyers who think they are decent pilots and I quickly show them just how stupid they are. So drop the "Doctor" anytime you are talking to a "Real" pilot. All that means to us is that you will soon Ki!! yourself in an aircraft accident.
Will this work for interpolating landing role? , or any graph ? I’m having a hard time with the graphs if I need to interpolate. Thank you for this video. Mike KLZU
Thanks Doc. I’m in tje same boat. I have two grandsons who are future pilots and it’s costi g me a ‘pretty penny’ for hem and I so appreciate your efforts. Dr. Tom
Myself I use the full ASA kit including e6b and I use sportys online courses as well as youtube channels and apply a combination of all tools for my ppl with goal too get my AtP goal
L have the same book Test Guide by Jeppesen You right it so easy to follow and used once your get the written test out the way you can start learning the rest great video thank you for help other people out on this pilot training
Hi Alan, hope you doing good. I’m a new follower currently a student pilot. I looked over your Chanel you have t posted for so long I hope you good. Also thanks you because as I just started I really try to give to understand everything from that study guide even how the altimeter works that there is air going through the static port and as we climb we experienced low pressure therefore low air entering the static port will cause the capsule to expande….. That’s how I was trying to understand but it takes times and age to understand big explanation behind it. But as you said using that studying guide will build a knowledgeable framework in your mind and therefore becoming really knowledgeable on the subject. Thank you that was really the video that answer my questions.
Hi Thank you so much for this video! Though I got using the plotter, a distance of 50 nautical mile. My final answer, was 51 minutes. That is closer to 52, then to 48. According to the answers, I got it wrong. Can you please explain, how you got your distance 60 kt, vs 50 what I got?
I knew I recognized you! Unfortunately that means i suffer from hair loss :( That's so cool your a pilot! I'm getting my PPL as well.. this video helped me alot and your explanations on previous videos as well.. thank you!
