How to Operate an Airplane | The Basics! (PPL Lesson 60) 

Thanks Jeffrey! And congrats on that huge accomplishment!

Congratulations

Congrats!!!🎉

hey that’s my birthday, congrats

You’re welcome! Glad to have you on the channel

You’re welcome! Thanks for this comment!

You’re welcome!

Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate that!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

You’re welcome!

Thanks! I usually include Celsius. I worded it this way in this video because that’s the way they do it on the FAA written exam. I’ll try to pay attention and include that next time

No problem!

You’re welcome! I’m hoping to work on those eventually. I have a couple more videos to wrap up first

Thanks Kevin!

Awesome! Thanks man! Enjoy the journey!

Yes I am. I’m currently working on both of them

@@FreePilotTraining thanks look forward to it!

You’re welcome! Might be a couple months. I’m working on them, but I’m also building a house and also making some other Free Pilot Training videos that need to come out first

He’s talking about the water, the test locations are at the lowest points where water pools as it sinks

The water sinks to the bottom. Sorry for the dangling modifier lol

Well, my ground course is designed to cover all that material, but I recommend focusing on airspace, required equipment, chart symbols, maintenance requirements, and performance.

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment! I didn’t think about the fuel injected systems having the additional pump

@@FreePilotTraining the fuel injection inlet pump has a higher pressure than a normal system. Therefore, I believe it requires an additional boost pump for starting to get that portion of the system pre-pressurized. On a bonanza and some other models, they actually have a two speed pump where you have a low and a high setting. usually you use the low setting for changing tanks in the high setting for priming. The best way to prime an engine is to open the throttle full and the mixture full. Run the pump 3 to 5 seconds then shut the pump off. Then I pull the throttle back all the way to the retard position and I leave the mixture around 1/3 open. As soon as the engine fires, I can move the mixture to full rich and you don’t get that loud chug with a lot of black smoke. Basically the engine will start spinning like an electric motor on its own without any hard vibration or excess torque when you don’t exactly have the oil pressure needed. This is gentle on your engine. Think of the mixture, lever, being a condition, lever, and moving it to ground idle. As soon as the engine, then fires up, you move it into high idle. By the way, I am not jet certified, nor have I ever flown a turbo prop. I just read about it.

Lol

Awesome! The only things that are missing are Airport Lighting and markings, how to use the traffic pattern, and what to do with the yoke while taxiing in the wind. I’m currently working on all three of these videos

Thank you! You will have to get an endorsement from an instructor or a ground school. Unfortunately, I’m not set up yet to give out endorsements. Maybe in the next few months that will change

I definitely have plans to do so, but I’ve got a lot going right now, so it’s probably going to be a while

If you know about the mag wire and possible “kick over,” and you move the prop with the knowledge that you might need to get out of the way quickly, you can do that safely. If you’re careful and stand back a little when you do it, it’s fine

Sounds good! Thanks for the reply and a huge thank you for all of your videos.

There’s nothing that says you need to be a CFI to teach someone about aviation. That training just can’t be used towards the written exam or the check ride. So, you couldn’t endorse someone to take their exam. It doesn’t hurt to make extra training videos though
