Practice reading takeoff or landing distance from a graph. (FAA test questions) 4 examples - 2 takeoff / 2 landing Five variables: OAT Pressure Altitude gross weight Headwind obstacle clearance
Thank you for this video. I've got the FAA Private Pilot Exam in 1.5 weeks and I've been having trouble with this topic, and your video makes it seem so much easier.
Thank you so much Mr. Jeffrey Bannish for all these wonderful teaching videos. I am studying for my FAA Private Pilot exam and found your videos so helpful for me to understand the subject. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and my Best Wishes to you in the coming Holidays Season.
Hey Jeffrey I just want let you know that you helped me so much with learning how to use this chart. You gave me so much clarity on the instructions. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s tough to read through the steps, no where does it describe how to go through the chart according to the lines in each section. This is incredibly helpful!
Not random. I believe you are referencing the first example....(from seven years ago) ...Start at temperature, rise vertically until you hit your pressure altitude, move horizontally to your reference line (max gross), follow the blue slope until you hit your take off weight .... yes, lowering YOUR take off weight (vertical magenta line) is reducing your take off distance. Notice the green lines, headwind reduces, tailwind increases take off distance.... it makes sense. To all, please keep in mind that this video and others like it are not meant for practical use, in the same way that an engineer doesn't really perform any of those triple integrations that they worked so hard on in university. This exercise is to build understanding AND to pass the Private Pilot Written. This understanding will benefit you someday when your electronic flight computer spits out garbage because of a typo....and you have the good sense to question it. -jPB
Thank you very much for helping me understand takeoff and landing distance graphs. This was something that was difficult for me to grasp from reading out of a book but your video made it dirt simple.
Thank you!! The text in my book describing how to do this did not make much sense. Your video makes this very easy to understand. Thank you again. Peace.
Nice explaination. I got vibes like Saul Goodman explaining money laundering or Bob Ross teaching about painting from you. My flight schools official e-learning sometimes makes me feel like I am reinventing all those stuff
Good job with the chart. Regarding landing downwind...sometimes you don't have a choice but to land with a tailwind. There are some airports that have only one landing direction, especially with mountains nearby.
This came up in my flight performance and planning exam, and I hadn't revised thoroughly enough. So I got the question wrong! Still passed the test though, and learned something new in the process :)
the voice and dramatization had me cracking up. however, for the 1st time ever i can say i get this now. used to get so annoyed and frustrated with this chart. thank you sir.
I took a moment to like and subscribed! You made this look so simple compared to reading the book. Glad i saw your video first! P.s. i tried reading the book to see if maybe i would learn an extra thing or 2 but it ended up confusing me so i stopped readinh and used the example
Would you mind doing a video on Time, Distance, and Fuel to Climb performance charts? I am having trouble reading my chart. Aircraft PA-28-181 Archer II. Thank you!!!!!! Your videos are terrific.
I’ve found reading this chart very confusing. Your explanation is quite helpful, especially the multiple examples. However, I believe you made one mistake that I’ve made. In the second example, you correctly interpolate the 3000 foot pressure altitude, but then place your line at 5000 feet, costing you a few excess feet of runway in the answer. As the slopes of each of the lines are pretty consistent, isn’t there a way to actually calculate each of the variables? This would eliminate the misreading of the graphs, which is probably my greatest error factor.
I have looked everywhere for a chart like this that is not already marked up for practicing. Is there a link you can give for a printable chart just like yours but not marked up already
CAUTION: This is the graphical distance which only corresponds to the conditions noted at the top of the chart i.e. paved, level, dry runway. Always say to yourself 'do I need to FACTOR for slope or surface?' The GRAPHICAL distance multiplied by the factors gives you the Take-off Distance (TOD). FACTORS are short dry grass 1.2 , short wet grass 1.3 and 1.05 for every 1% upslope (or part thereof). AFTER factoring for slope and surface, you should then apply the Regulatory safety factor to give you the take-off distance Required (TODR). In Europe (EASA) requires a FACTOR of 1.25 (where no stopway or clearway is available). So a graphical answer of 1,850' with a 1% upslope would be FACTORED TO 1,943' TOD, and then increased to 2,428' for the TODR. The Take off Distance Required (TODR) must not exceed the Take off Distance Available (TODA)! Great graphics by the way!
confused when we go to the weight why does it go down? anywhere on that vertical line is 2820. Your picking what seems like a random point on the x axis. Please explain im confused :p
I JUST DON'T GET IT!! :( Why is the first reference line of the TO weight at that specific point and not anywhere else on that vertical line (at 1:25) for the weight? The 'blue slope' is where I get lost. Why the slope and not just continue across? What determines where that goes? I must have gotten it years ago when I got a 94% on the PPL exam. I dunno. :(
Oh wait .... I think I got it. I am just tired and wanting to rush through this Gleim ground school. Ok, yup I see it. Thanks. I have to redo this chapter and finish the the first half of this program.
Several questions about the chart?? How did you make it, what software did you use. It looks like you provided a link to another person can I get the link??
Thanks for explaining one of the dumbest things I've encountered so far while getting my private pilot's license. After learning this, all I have to say to whoever came up with this process is: Really?
you mention nothing about the correction factors to be applied to take-off dist and landing dist,these graphs look very similar to what I use, in Cap698 SEP 1 performance data
