The Flight Panel - Understand Your Aircraft 

Remember, the pitot tube is only utilized by the airspeed indicator and no other instrument. The static Port how ever is utilized by the altimeter, VSI, and the airspeed indicator

Thank you for this video. CAP cadets in PR are learning virtual pilots course and this video explain and show very clear each instrument. Thank you very much. Capt. Noe Irizarry - Puerto Rico

This is a fantastic video for beginners! You explained the cockpit better than most CFI 's Only comment is that the altimeter and VSI are not affected the pitot, only static source! Keep it up! Phil CMEL, CSEL

Thank you for a great lesson; extremely easy to understand.

Nice video, very good info! Love the tower chat!

Man this video information is more informative then my instructor explaining things to me in class as an A&P mechanic. Thanks!!

Great Video! Learned how to fly my F28A Enstrom Helicopter without any other instruction!

Great video, clear descriptions and perfect pace - thanks.

Overall an excellent video. However there is an error at 9:22 describing operation of the turn coordinator. The 2 lower markings on the turn coordinator do not indicate degrees of bank. These markings indicate "rate of turn" only ie a standard rate turn of 3 degrees/sec. Note that the degrees of bank (on the attitude indicator), while in this standard rate turn, is actually indicating (approximately) 15 degrees. This is an important distinction, relating to safety, in that a student might (improperly) look to the turn coordinator to determine bank angle -- which would be incorrect and potentially unsafe.

great video Garth =¬D 5/5* for being awsome guys at GDFS and making amazing tutorials =¬P

the altimeter, vertical speed and airspeed are not all reliant on the pitot system. Vertical speed, altimeter are STATIC port only, airspeed relies on PITOT and STATIC ports for its reading.

Ok, thank you for sharing, and for clearing that up. We'll add a note to the side bar, for future reference. Thanks again! ;) -Garth

The turn indicator only indicates a ‘rate of turn’ not bank angle. It even works on the ground. The alternate static valve will not replace the pitot tube, only the main static air vent It is used for the altimeter, VSI and as someone already stated for the static side of the ASI capsule. It is common for one or two of the gyro instruments to be driven by vacuum pump and one or two to be electric for safety reasons. You have a fairly good grasp of 172 and I enjoyed your teaching style.

This is a good accurate video, thank you. However it might make understanding the turn coordinator better if it was explained that despite the apparent bank of the aircraft shape on the instrument it really only shows turn (Yaw). You can prove this by seeing the aircraft symbol tilt even when taxiing (i.e. no bank angle - hopefully). With that adjustment the video would be faultless, in my opinion. Thank you.

Student pilot, working VFR, well done video...thank you, very helpful

Wonderful, easy to understand video. Very well presented. Thanks for sharing.

Another nice video!! Great Tutorial. That helped a lot!

I always thought these little planes only had a couple gauges until I saw pictures of one for sale a couple days ago. It blew my mind, it looked like a fighter jet cockpit.

Thanks for that. I learned a lot here.

Which gauge shows the flux capacitor?

About the way that the light switches are setup, When the engine is running, the following lights should be on: Beacon, Nav, and Taxi. Strobe lights are should only be used when: on the runway and during flight.

Excellent video.

This video explained a lot and was extremely helpful.

nice video! Good level of clear-speak, not too technical, not too simple. thks

Great video. Thanks for the info.

who's else watching this to learn how to use the new 2020 flight sim?? :D

Thank you, but please read his description in full. Whilst a few points were not accurate in this early video he made it clear he was ",,,not a real world pilot". I however find his videos most enjoyable and inspirational. Also he knows a lot more than I did when I started my 'real world' training in a 172.

Good vid, helps me a lot to learn flying.

thanks man!! ''you learn sumin new every day'' great vid thankyuh very much ;)

Really nice job. Thanks.

I learned alot from this video!! Thanks..

Informative vid!

Well done! Thanks.

Damn… anyone still remember the olden days when you were only allowed to upload videos to RU-vid which were a maximum of 10minutes?

Great job my friend 👍

Very helpful, just starting my pilot's license; lessons.

"Should we get started, ahh not so fast rocket pants."

Big thanks! Very helpful

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

hey thanks, this is cool. most info ive learned all day. I gotta get a sim if not im still going to school for this

Great video. Thanks!

Gary - I actually due for a discovery flight next week and really appreciated your video. What flight sim were you using? Was that MS Flight or what? Thanks again for a very informative video!

Thats kind of off topic but you need to have a VATSIM client like Squwak box or FSInn. You first need to be registred then you go to a airport make sure there is a controller put in all of your info by hitting ALT and starting up your client then again put it in your info and connect to the tower then fly! Kind of brief but hope it helps.

I can't believe how many instruments are on this Cessna just going over a craft course for a little bit don't want to forget which instruments are important when you're going over

Thanks, really helpful!

You said the Altimeter "air pressure data gathered by the pitot tube." Is the static pressure system located inside the pitot tube on this aircraft? Because the altimeter has nothing to do with the pitot tube.

Great video very informative

great video

Thank u, very good helpful info.

Great video great lesson. Thanks.

very helpful, God Bless

Good work...Thanks

5/5 like always amazing tutorial

In some versions there is a small instrument where the heading indicator is above. It has two hands like the altimeter and I can't work out what it is.

Thanks for sharing this! My teen Girl Scouts are learning about aviation and this is super helpful.

No mention of altimeter, airspeed, rate of climb etc.

that part about the altimeter, vertical speed indicator and that the air speed indicator rely on a pitot tube is not correct. The VSI and the Altimeter are using to measure height or vertical speed a static vent. The ASI uses a static vent and a pitot probe. So that the total pressure comes into the system and the static pressure into the capulair. Total pressure minus static = dynamic pressure and that's how an ASI measures it speed.

Garth, awesome video! You are going to be a great instructor one day :-) (Also, you're welcome :P)

Great video thanks, I love flying, I have just been uploading some of my lessons and tutorials hope you like them, plus some Air flight Simulator session in a Cessna Citatation Mustang twin jet happy flying :)

Is there a part 2 to this video? Feels like it ends without officially ending! So far i really like this video, but wondering if there is another.... thanks

6:34 - The heading indicator will not indicate magnetic north due to rigidity in space. It shows your true track. It will only indicate magnetic north when aligned with the magnetic compass ;) Great intro for beginners though.

Good video

Thanks very helpful.

just here in case you know, i have to casually take over a plane during a zombie apocalypse...

yeah. explained really. thanks frm an aviation aspirator. send more n we'll be pleased!

what is the add-on that you used to communicate with the ATC .?

Thank you very much for the video. I have learned a lot. Very clear explianation. ;)

Thank u for making the video it helps me unDerstanding the panel.i wish u could make more videos and can u please teach me how I can use the information I hear from the radio in uncontrolled airfield. I am always so confused how I know where everybody is .in terms of their reported position

a) Draw a typical aerofoil shape. b) On your diagram mark the chord line. Also draw the relative airflow on the aerofoil shape diagram as if the aircraft was descending. Label the angle of attack on your diagram. c) Draw the lift force and weight on your diagram. Question 2 a) Define the lift Equation. b) With respect to the lift equation describe how if an aircraft wants to maintain altitude yet increase and decrease its speed what properties must change, also describe how the aircraft may appear to an observer at slow speed and at high speed. c) With the use of diagrams explain how the angle of attack changes on an aerofoil section with the deployment of high lift devices (flaps). d) Describe again with respect to the lift equation what properties change to give increased lift with the deployment of FOWLER flaps. Question 3 (a)Draw on a series of three diagrams how the airflow changes around an aerofoil section as it goes from zero angle of attack to the critical angle of attack. Also mark on each diagram the likely position of the centre of pressure. b)Explain washout on a wing and how it is helpful for aircraft control near the stall. c) Explain briefly how winglets improve fuel efficiency in the modern jet aircraft.

Im a noob and Im sure this has been clarified but I cannot find it. What program and equipment are you using for this simulator? Anyone else has any recommendations it would be appreciated.

Great video. I love flying but I am not a pilot. Earlier today I was viewing the Bonanza gyro used on Buddy Holly's (pilot Peterson) plane and I can understand how it was confusing to the pilot. This video's gyro has the earth stay with the background and the plane tilts with the pilot. The Bonanza does the opposite, which ended up being hypothesized as the cause for the crash because Peterson was confused as to which why the plane was turning. Very interesting.

perfect :)

i liked, favourites and subscribed ')

That was great

thank you for explaining the instruments to me, I just could not figure out the attitude instrument, I understand now,, the 10, 20, 30, then 60, then 90, deg, banks, I appreciate your time.

Awesome

Correction: The pitot tube ONLY supplies the airspeed indicator. The other instruments are supplied by a static port on the side of the aircraft. Also, the turn coordinator says NOTHING about the level of the wings; that's what the artificial horizon is for. The turn coordinator indicates RATE of turn only. Moral of the story: Get your flying education ONLY from a certified flight instructor!

you should use FREDA in flight F-fuel content sufficent R-radios tuned nav radios set E-engline ts and ps are in the green D-Di and compass aligned A-Altimeter set to pressure setting of the atis

heya, nice video! One question tho, at the end you mention the slip indicator, if the ball is left or right of the center, you need to 'step on the ball' (meaning if it's left you use your left footpedal to adjust, if it's right the exact opposite) If I'm right, if you adjust this way with your rudder, won't the nose tend to go down? Hope you understand what I mean ;) Cheers!

That was really good. to bad youtube sucks so bad that you had to cut it short.

Awesome video! What flight simulator are u using?

I played this game many years ago and recently I installed it again. I wanted to refresh my skills before MFS2020 but unfortunately, my airspeed and few other indicators are gone ... it's just an empty hole and I can see the ground thru them.....lol well I guess I'll wait for new ms sim.

What program did you use to communicate with atc

VERY onformative Nice video! I have to comment too, I like the detail in this to include the passing traffic ..

November 5 2 kilo alpha, I am stopping to get a beer from the fridge!

error explaining the Altimeter. It uses Static pressure only.

The alltimeter and rate of climb, indicator, rely on the static sourse, not the pito.

That would be in Airline parlance Departing at midnight: dep time is 00:01 Arriving at midnight: arr time is 23:59

Great video. At 9:25 when illustrating a 3 degree turn on the turn coordinator, why does the attitude indicator display 10 degrees?

sooooo, 11 years ago you had to have the video under 10 minutes?!!!

Hi, I wanted to ask - what's the name of this simulator? Is it one that you can buy in the shops? Thanks!

oh good idea man

Only the static port powers the altimeter. not the pitot tube

Best Knowless!

Excellente

can u tell me how to connect to vatsim on FS9? plzzz

nice

The bottom line of the turn coordinator are at 20 degrees, not 3.

Nice job.

What flight Simulator game is that
