All about my method for a successful diversion for a PPL skills test. Here's the link. Just save the image and use as you need! www.timeswithjames.co.uk/ppl-d...
I’ve been trying to get my head around sine and cosine rules all week. Just when I figured it out, I’ve found this video 😄. This is actually really useful and I’ll definitely be using this method for my test within a weeks time. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video. Joined Coventry aero just before lockdown still waiting on my first lesson. Just saved the image off the website will definitely find that useful thanks!
BRILLIANT!!! Finally...I'm taking the plunge and Taking an Introduction Flight Hopefully this weekend I have it all ahead of me I'm afraid, but your videos are brilliant I'm from Ireland so it was refreshing to see you use an Irish Aeronautical Chart I'm.so happy that you achieved your dream
Thanks James really useful, and thanks for making it available. I would love to know more (and have the templates ;-) ) about how you organise your flights and what other printouts you use on your knee board.
James I've got to say fella I laughed alot watching your videos. It's nice to see another (and bare with me here) normal nutcase enjoy flying and still have a sense of humour. Great information in all the videos and the plog is very helpful. I must say if you want a laugh you should watch my first solo flight hahhahaa it wasn't alowed on the club website due to the snot balls and swearing. Many thanks again and be safe. Sam.
James, great channel with some top quality flying content. Is there any chance if you sharing your full plog? The link to your website only shows part of it
Very nice. Thanks. Can I ask where you got this from because I couldn’t find it being sold anywhere (thanks for providing a copy to download) but just wondering where it originally came from. And also how did you simulate the same wind conditions in SkyDemon so that you could check your figures. Great video
All you have to do is plug in your aircraft performance in foreflight tap your two fingers from where you are located to your diversion location and it will give you magnetic heading and time and how much fuel it will take
Thanks James - this video I'm sure is going to be a lifesaver for me in a number of months... Only at Exercise 10 so far but know this is coming. Are they your own sheets that you have made? Also I assume Sky Demon is a no go for the skills test?
I’m not sure. As far as I’m concerned they should teach both methods. Right now I’m not used to using SD but it’s definitely the way to go (with a wizz wheel and map as backup!)
Hi James. love the video and the diversion calculator. should make diversion calculations so much easier. However the way you have filmed this video is hard to watch. the constantly moving background is like being on a rolling ship! can you make it stationary??
Hey James your videos have really been keeping me going through these rough times. Quick question is there a way to get a copy of your flight log you use during flight plan. It’s so organised
Hi Love the method but do you have a better quality sheet, it doesn’t reproduce very well. It is the first time I have been able to get a good breakdown and logical method. Really good vid and after testing it is accurate phew!
No worries mate. Practise like mad using the method I explained at the end. It’s the only way to simulate the mind mash up that is flying and diverting!
James, your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you. I'm at 44 hours and hoping to get cross country done when weather improves. Did you make the plog sheet yourself? Looks great. Wind card really useful by the way. I use the DP-1 diversion plotter which has a windstar built in.
You have a knack designing forms sir , in the olden days you would be snapped up by the civil service! The .pdf of the diversion is just great but is there one for your excellent PLOG?
Hi James, I'm about 40 hours into my PPL and have found your content very helpful. You mentioned you linked your plog in the description.. but I can't see it, do you think you could make it available? It'd be much appreciated! Many thanks :)
Hope you enjoy guys, made this real quickly to help this dude out...hope he passes! If you want to use my Diversion Calculator, you can find it free here: www.timeswithjames.co.uk/ppl-diversion-calculator
