One of the clearest, most organized, and most helpful online tutorials I've come across. And for me, it helps that this is how most pilot sounds--cool, collected, confident. This is the lesson where things started clicking in my head. Thank you.
Since I'm currently studying for my sUAS Part 107 exam I'm watching a lot of these videos by various authors. Each one is providing me with valuable information. Thanks for this one! I picked up several new things I hadn't focused on before.
Your style and pace (even the low-key music) are perfect to set up a friendly learning environment - something forgotten way, way back. It also works better, and the pace allows the student to check his/her own memory as you go along. Stay with it!!
I aced my Part 107 test today and scored 100% thanks to your videos! THANK YOU and I greatly appreciate the time it took for you to make and post this video! :D
Minor correction, @06:15, that should be in hundreds of feet rather than thousands of feet. You indirectly clarify that later in the video but it's good to point it out in case someone doesn't catch it. Thanks for the informative style of teaching!
Summerdale was/is an outlying airfield for US Navy flight training. That whole area has training fields that have been there since WWII. I trained there in 1989. Beautiful part of the country.
I wonder why noone asked why exactly 8069ft... As if changing a major element on a sectional to another one basing on such a strange random number is widely accepted and is an ordinary thing.
I've just begun to self study process to get my Private Pilot certificate. Two questions. First one is as a US Army veteran can a VA doctor or chiropractor sign me off for a basic Med certificate? Second question is how do I get the endorsement to sit for the knowledge exam?
Awesome - thanks - yes - learned something I wasn't aware of regarding the U (unverified) and open cirlce magenta runways - (dirt and the like). Thanks!
Very well explained. Thanks. One point to mention is at 04:19, you mention the “K” prefix is for United States airports. This should be clarified as being only for the lower 48 states, as Alaska and Hawaii use “P” as their prefix.
where did you come up with the second runway #s (21 & 23)? 3 and 5 are on the diagram but the others you mentioned aren't. Also, how do you know what direction the runway goes?
