Excellent tips. Power + attitude = airspeed. I am fortunate I was taught these techniques in my instrument training. I always learn or relearn something from your videos. Love your rigor and professionalism. I don’t even fly anymore. I have recommend your channel to new pilots. Thanks.

@nelsonbrandt7847 3 месяца назад

It’s a good idea to combine pitch attitudes with those known power settings, along with the expected airspeed and descent rates.

@LTVoyager 3 месяца назад

Yes, just as many, mostly airline or former airline pilots, say that a power off 180 approach isn’t stabilized. Such approaches done properly are perfectly stabilized. Some seem to think that only a 3 degree descent angle constitutes stable and that is bunk.

@mikeanderton4688 3 месяца назад

That was an excellent tutorial. Makes sense to practice configurations with previously determined power settings. Thanks for the eye opener !!! 🙂

@timwest6007 3 месяца назад

After flying conventional GA airplanes for 30+ years I transitioned last year to an LSA with a Rotax engine. The rpm settings are obviously completely different from the engines I was used to. That has proved to be somewhat challenging for me to adapt to.

@mktwatcher Месяц назад

Thank you for emphasizing the importance of Proper Power & Trim Settings for the Different Phases of a Flight. Stabilized Flight is half the battle with IFR. So are the Power Configurations in this video for a say a certain size aircraft like the 172? TY.

@roryfiler214 3 месяца назад

I learned a lot and will practice this, thanks for posting! Just curious about whether the altitude affects these settings, particularly the ones used at higher altitudes. I'll use the "2400" RPM example because that's the cruise setting. The higher you go, the lower the power produced by the engine. I guess you'd need to know the power settings for a given range of altitudes. Does it affect all// the levels you mention in this video?

@njordan2001 3 месяца назад

Hi Jason, another great video. I am devouring your Ground School app and loving it so far. I sent an email via your website but, I am right down the street from KHWD and looking for my first (and only?) CFI…

@AdhamNafea 3 месяца назад

Great work, any videos for multi engine training please?

@pilotalex5677 3 месяца назад

Well, I'm impressed by the stability of the tachometer. The plane I'm in never gets a steady needle in which you always have to make an average. The only time when I get it is in full throttle. Getting exactly 25 rpm more is impossible. (I often fly in bumpy conditions though)😊

@JCCFlying 3 месяца назад

Hi, Great content ... Is your app only available for Apple IPad ?

@user-rt8vm5qd8e 3 месяца назад

Glad to see the more aggressive decent rate for non-precision approaches!! I see too many instructors preach against “dive and drive”. That is just a saying, its not a helter skelter decent, it is just a more aggressive stabilized decent as you teach!! Before GPS there was no +V advisory glideslope!

@csm6499 3 месяца назад

THANKS. Could you add some light to the settings and configuration say in a C182 ie MAP and Flaps you use? Thanks

@gustavodanti 3 месяца назад

Does that 1500RPM apply to a CDFA?

@magueyguate 3 месяца назад

Hi Jason how much do you charge per hour. I got 110 hour and fail my check ride flight portion. I quit flying; but i still wanted get my ppl certification. My plan is to get a 3k loan and fly every day i think i can knock it out

@matthewwilliams2128 2 месяца назад

Flying in mountainous parts of California, how is it you are not battered every which way by thermals and turbulence? Even in the benign area I fly, SE England, it is impossible (most of the time) to trim a fixed-pitch-prop plane to within 25rpm of a desired value and have it stay there. My stick and so throttle need to move constantly to maintain straight and level!

@steven2145 3 месяца назад

Just to be clear, when you say non-precision, you are talking about step down descents, not LPV or a +V smooth descents?

@1badlizard 3 месяца назад

Near the end when you are simulating a 90 kt non-precession approach, you level off at "approach level" at 100kts. How will this work if doing a timed approach? Don't we need to maintain 90kts throughout the approach?

@chrisschack9716 3 месяца назад

If so, wouldn't you just set the known 90 knot power, 2000 rpm here?

@christophfacebooker2618 3 месяца назад

What do U do when U set the flaps? Keep the power setting, decrease speed and keep the attitude or do U give more power to overcome the drag? Thanks on advance. Great video

@darrylday30 3 месяца назад

Non precision with constant descent angle (3 deg) same as ILS?

@VictoryAviation 3 месяца назад

ILS is a precision approach, which is generally at 3° unless stated otherwise on the approach plate. A non precision would be like a Localizer approach or RNAV. Basically what he’s inferring is that when you’re not on a glide path during an instrument approach, you need to get down to your next step-down altitude more quickly than a typical 3° glide slope. That means descending slightly faster than 500 fpm, but still very much controlled. His guidance is absolutely outstanding. Make sure you check out as many videos of his as you possibly can. It’s top tier instruction.

@chrisschack9716 3 месяца назад

@@VictoryAviation It could easily enough happen if a G/S isn't up and you need to fall back on the LOC option on the plate (assuming there is one).

@VictoryAviation 3 месяца назад

@@chrisschack9716 Agreed. At that point you’re no longer flying the ILS, you’re flying the LOC.

@Hunator 22 дня назад

@VictoryAviation I think the question mentioned "constant angle," so either CDFA or CAA usually follows 3° GP (given by the table distance/altitude). In such a case, the power setting is the same as for ILS as the GP is the same. IMHO, the CDFA is a safer option than step-down. If you can do CDFA instead: Get your MDA, add there at least 50' (for C172), and you get a new "DA". Descend by 3° GP to the new DA or MAPt (what comes sooner), and just watch out for step-down altitudes. It is easier, safer, and more economical.

@spitfireinvasion 2 месяца назад

Stable or not, why would you want to fly a non precision approach at 1000fpm descent? I'd much rather start down a stable path from the FAF down to MDA at a constant rate of descent instead of diving to MDA or the intermediate check altitude , leveling off, then continuing the descent further down to the runway... I thought you were going to differentiate between PA and NPA by flap setting - decelerated ILS where you start the descent on glide with flaps 10, then transition to landing configuration while descending, and the stabilized or constant speed if you prefer that term, where you go landing config and Vapp before reaching the final descent point, and hold that config all the way down to MDA/landing.

@DanFrederiksen 3 месяца назад

Shouldn't we get rid of steam gauges and get some synthetic vision? I know the avionics folks are greedy and an upgrade costs as much as a new plane but that should be fixed too.

@TheFinerPoints 3 месяца назад

I Will start introducing glass concepts next but, for the most part, people see this technologies as magic bullets, they are not. Except that they usually come with great autopilots. I had two geo referenced moving maps on this flight.

@lechstryzewski9350 3 месяца назад

I happen to really enjoy using Steam Gauges - like - in a big way. Nothing at all against glass ..... I just really enjoy using the Analogue

@ezflyr4573 2 месяца назад

Not sure of the value of these tips. PAC is Performance, Attitude, Control. For a given set of performance + a given attitude = a controllable configuration. Example: go around. Full power, wings zero bank and pitch for ~6 degrees will give a positive rate of climb at given airspeed. The airspeed and climb rate are a verification of aircraft performance based on atmospheric conditions.
