Scott, Im a Veteran whos about to start flight school. Im subbing to all your videos on your website because you’re such a great teacher and easy to understand. Thank you for being the man! You’ve helped alot of my nerves! Blue skies my friend!
"I don't even know what you're talking about dude!" Captain Scott, yer the best forever! I don't even care that I'm going to watch this a hundred times ok maybe 8. I know I'll never fly an airplane, but you make it cool to learn unless like Hannah was driving 🤭
Your one of the best teacher . You explained everything in details and in sections. What flight training. I know for sure if worst case scenario I can fly a cessna for sure .
The dozens of helpful and educational clips at the end of this video has helped make this one of the most fun and interesting PPL related videos online! Love all that great content, thank you for compiling it!
Thanks Rick. I explain things the way I do because I didn't understand half the stuff the instructor was telling me when I was learning. I'd always wondered why instructors didn't teach that way which is why I instruct that way.
Awesome you are flying together! I have an aviation family too; my daughter is a pilot, other daughter is a flight attendant; I'm a former f/a for United and TWA and am FINALLY working on my private! Thanks for the cool cat instruction!
Thanks for this fantastic video series, Ive enjoyed every one of them immensely. If you are making more videos with the camera on the map, increasing the time the camera is on the map would be incredibly helpful for student pilots. In most of the map references, I would have been really grateful for a little more camera time, lingering on the map for an additional second or two whilst/during/after making each map related point.
Mr. Scott the videos are fantastic! It makes these informational videos much easier to comprehend being familiar with the terrain. Ps. when your West Seattle sewer needs done feel free to reach out to us!
I went on a discovery flight couple years ago and didn't go back because of one reason or another, but not because I don't want to do it. Watching your videos have lit the fire, and this time I have the means and the desire to go for it. Thank you!
I did a discovery flight just a few weeks ago but all the CFIs have a waiting list to take on new students. So I have to wait, meanwhile I’m watching your videos and reading the FAA manuals. Your videos are great!
Awesome video Captain Scott. I hail from Texas where I’ll be putting my license to use for thermal imaging for hog/predator control. FYI - yes, Texas is really overrun by feral hogs
@@askcaptainscott I passed the checkride! It was a bumpy day here in the Tacoma, WA area but I was able to get through it and passed thank you for all your videos.
While it is buffer not intended for purposeful use, all airspace(even class E) has a 300ft buffer in the floor that is not actively used, just for this. (I forget the precise buffer thicknesses vs class and such but 300ft is typical) Then ATC computers round all transponder/radar altitude info to 100ft increments and they don't flag or say anything with less than a 200ft deviation. So hypothetically a deviation to a calibrated altitude of 1949feet with an 1800ft shelf is within standards. Of course in practice ATC may say something over the radio as a reminder to check your altimeter setting, and if you are a repeat offender at 1900ft the FAA may call you to discuss your equipment calibration problems. The buffer is officially explicitly considered when designing instrument routes and procedures. (eg A class E floor will always be at least 300ft below MOCA, so 1200agl airspace floor with a 1500agl MOCA [all rounded in the direction of safety to whole hundreds. Approaches have somewhat finer rounding.]) I assume similar buffer when they set minimum vectoring altitudes. The 300ft allows aircraft in both adjoining airspaces 150ft each of calibration and pilot errors.
The main spot that comes to mind is the squeeze over Mcchord D(28003000). However contact Mcchord tower and getting a squawk code to go straight through is pretty easy.
I like , any day I can learn is a good day. Grew up flying. So much more everyone needs to know to save their life’s than what’s expected. Masters secret ready for the uninspected
We opted to monitor the frequency of the airspace we were flying through. When those controllers get swamped I'll just monitor the freq versus getting flight following. A lot of time when you ask for it and they're super busy they'll tell you unable flight following at this time...
Can anyone fly VFR with a hood on the 6pack like a blanket . Totallizing the visual air speed to take off? Collision avoidance. Seat of the pants stall speed to land ? RC PILOTS DO IT EVERY FLIGHT.
With today's technology I would think you could create virtual roads in the air and manage it much like car traffic, even with takeoff/landing traffic lights. I'm thinking air traffic controllers are soon to be replaced by computers.
