These ERAU videos are *THE BEST* videos on RU-vid, on everything aviation related, bar none!! I have extensively watched both, the videos on the THEORETICAL ASPECTS (such as these 2 videos on Airspace), and the ones on the ACTUAL FLYING ASPECTS (such as slow flight, stalls etc.), and they are simply beyond outstanding! 1)The videos are nice and simplified, making understanding the material a breeze. Nice graphics and animation make digesting the material an absolute breeze. 2) The narrator is CRYSTAL CLEAR and very articulate and eloquent, using all of the necessary terminology in a complete and clear manner. Words, graphics, demonstrations all come together coherently to make the info extremely easy to comprehend! 3) The unique part about these videos is that the material is THOROUGH AND COMPLETE (without leaving any "gaps" or "holes" in the subject matter). This is very important, because as I prep for my checkride, I cannot afford to miss anything. The amazing part is they have not left out anything, while _AT THE SAME TIME_ , not cluttering the video by simply throwing every available bit of useless information, which could overwhelm a student like me (trying to fish out the relevant from the irrelevant stuff). Thanks, once again for these FANTASTIC videos! They are a lifesaver as I prep for my private pilot checkride on the 20th. These videos are a great service to the flying student public, and because of this, I'm seriously considering joining ERAU for my higher aviation training!
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoy our work, and most of that, that the videos are helpful! When you come to Daytona for your campus visit, be sure to stop by our production office in the College of Aviation and say hello.
This video helped me so much! I hope I can become a pilot! Currently 13 years old. I was always confused with MSL for some reason. You helped clear it up. You also helped me understand the airspace much better. All of this for free as well. Thank you!
When u said this u were 13 it’s been 2 years so simple math adds that to 15, are you still looking to become a pilot you got 1 more year before you can start your journey
@@adrianjesus4040 16 now and I still want to get my license (hopefully this summer), however, I'm not 100% sure if I want to get a job as a pilot. I would still enjoy being able to fly from time to time, however, I may be going more into computer science or economics. What about you?
@@j-man4231 awesome you reached back after a comment from so long ago, yeah that’s cool that’s a respectable route to take but trust me, once you start flying and you get your PPL your going to want your instrument and once you get that you might say might as well get the commercial and then your just going to keep going, but I could be wrong, me personally I’m looking to get a career out of this I’m going to take my private pilot check ride here in a few weeks so I’m excited to take a big step into my aviation career, hoping to get instrument and commercial quick so I can go to a part 135 job and start getting paid
@@adrianjesus4040 Good luck on your check ride!!! If you remember let me know how that goes! You are probably right that I will want to pursue flying, but I just want to have as many opportunities and choices as possible. I’m focusing on many mostly tech industries which is still somewhat linked to aviation. I hope your journey into aviation goes well!
Best video and explain ever! I wish I knew this channel when I was working on my private couple of years ago...! I definitely will share this channel with my students someday soon! Thank you very much!
The speaker speaks slowly and clearly which gives me enough time to integrate the data. But still, I will watch this video half a dozen times over a long period because it is so packed with data. I like the visual format and the amount of care put into the works. A video I would recommend to anyone. all my thumbs are up.
I had an oral stage check today, 1 step away from my check-ride orals and I “unsattted” on this topic, it’s not hard when you know it, it is hard to know it all by memory. Great video and I’ll be watching this again, many many times over
I've understood everything so far in my ground training. But airspace has so much things to soak in it makes it feel daunting. This helped quite a bit. Thank you
Stubbo242 Airspace is a very long chapter. I’m currently going over it right now. All the different types of airspace, the different classes, different requirements to get in, VFR/ IFR weather minimums etc..... So yea, I definitely feel the struggle. Best of luck through out training bud!
this is very well presented for students whom understood the necessary information vaguely even after a perusal of the entire chapter, I always come back to this video every time I couldn’t identify between class G airspace and class E airspace
SO well made, I recommend these videos to EVERY student pilot out there. There is never TOO much information at one time and yet it's comprehensive and full of information - never any flashy/unnecessary animation, yet well illustrated and easy for visual learners; well balanced and beautifully animated.
At 16:56, you say, "The highest altitude that (Class G) will ever go up to, is 14,500MSL, unless within 1,500 feet (of the surface)". However, it's actually within 1,200 feet of the surface.
Did anyone notice when he was talking about Class B, he said 250kts speed limit below 10,000 ft when he meant to say above haha. Otherwise awesome, very in depth video. Thanks!
these are the best videos on youtube for studying as someone who is very visual, and doesn't learn well with text. Thank you for the amazing explanations and matching animations!
0:34 Did you know that airspace depicted as an NMFOC area(Nuclear Mushroom Fall Out Cloud) ….only requires for a VFR pilot to remain clear of the one cloud by 200’, make sure however you’re tuned for the HVN VOR and that you’re flying towards it NOT from ….. . .-. . .-..
Awesome video! Everything is very well explained. One thing I did notice, however, it that the video lists Class G airspace as a Regulatory airspace, but it is not listed as Regulatory in the AIM. Nor is it listed as Non-Regulatory. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for any clarification!
Nice graphics Though we haven’t seen student pilot certificates that look like that for quite a while I like to tie the REASON for the cloud clearance to the 10K speed limit (you need more time to avoid faster aircraft) and whether positive ATC control is in effect (i.e., A & B : clear of clouds ) or where IFR flight is not possible (class G < 1200 AGL : clear of clouds )
If Class E airspace doesnt require a pilot's licence to fly in does that mean a completely unlicensed person can fly as long as they stay in class E? that doesnt sound right...
I could be wrong but I believe this is to cover for other types of flying machines that don't require a pilot's license such as ultra-lights, para-motor, lighter-than-air aircraft (balloon, blimps, etc).
We're 35 seconds into this thing and there's already the Crossroads Baker nuclear test footage on the screen. Tell me, Aviation Man, how can I avoid flying VFR into atomic airspace? I need this knowledge.
Why not just say the speed limit is, speed of sound, or Mach 1, instead of saying there is no speed limit, then immediately contradicting that statement with, except the speed of sound? 16:18
Class E is controlled airspace. Class G is non-controlled. Specifically, an aircraft flying IFR will need ATC clearance to operate in class E airspace.
Class G airspace actually is part of the Regulatory Airspace category, not to be confused with "controlled" or "non-controlled". ATC does not have authority or responsibility to control air traffic in class G airspace, however there are VFR weather minimums that apply to Class G that all VFR pilots have to adhere to, and that in itself is what makes class G "regulatory". More information is available in the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Hope this helps!
I don’t understand the whole being clear from clouds in every direction and having visibility of 3 statute miles. Planes always make turns and travel through clouds. There are many times where the pilots can’t see the runway until they’re a few hundred feet above the ground
I don’t know if you still wanna know the answer to this question but here it goes. Those weather requirements are based on flying and VFR meaning you have to see where you’re going most of the aircraft that you see that are flying through clouds and landing on the runway when they’re a few hundred feet above it are flying under IFR to fly under IFR you need your instrument rating if you had your pilot license and only had a private license, you would not be able to fly if it was very foggy or if it was very cloudy
Sorry, May I ask you a Question about the video, please? on 18:07 you speak 1200 feet-10000 feet and next again 1200-10,000 Feet but use different visibility restriction in one case 1 SM (Statute Miles) and another is 5 SM But I can't understand which situation we use 1SM which situation we use 5SM wile day time?
Grigory Bykovskiy If you are below 1200 agl and/or 10000 msl you use 1 sm vis and clear of clouds. If you are BOTH above 1200 agl and 10000 msl, you use 5 sm vis, 1000 vertical and 1 sm horizontal. If you are below 1200 agl but above 10000 msl, use 1 sm vis and clear of clouds.
11:22 that area says it covers from 1200ft to 4000ft, does that mean if the pilot is at 1000ft for example, he wouldnt be in that airspace anymore? and does it also mean ATC coverage will no longer be useful/available to him? if someone just tell e what happens at that area or the difference between being in and out of an airspace i would appreciate that
Abdulaziz Almawash If he was within the dashed lines, he would be in D airspace, I he was outside the dashed lines, he would be in E airspace and will probably be in contact with the Class C airports approach control.
He would be below the class C airspace and would not NEED to talk to ATC. That way he could fly up the coast (avoiding the C that went to the surface) without having to talk to ATC along the way
