This guy is great, he's the antidote to some of the "simple/straightforward" explanations that are so painfully detailed with slow, drawn out explanations almost as if I can't think for myself. He's concise, easily followed, and doesn't assume you're an idiot with no prior knowledge. 10/10 channel even 8 years after the video

For now I'm just a chair pilot, but I can only imagine the feeling you must get pushing up on the throttles with the GE-90s spooling up behind you. Flying to Munich on an A330 and hearing a 777 engine start vibrate the terminal sealed the deal on my love for aviation.

@alhfgsp
@alhfgsp 7 лет назад
For future reference, when you walk us through what a TAF is telling us, make sure to describe the progression of the weather rather than just deciphering the code as it is stated. When talking about the TAF example that you gave, you should have stated that cloud ceilings were progressively improving between 1800Z on the 4th and 1800Z on the 5th after a storm. That would help people gain a little insight on what is really going on rather than just putting info in the brain. Otherwise well done on explaining the info.

To someone already familiar with them, I can see how it would be helpful practice, but as an introduction to the topic, this was very overwhelming and not as helpful as other videos I have seen.
