Thank you very much, sir, I have my first cross country coming up this Monday (6/13/2022) and I gotta say I really liked the way you eased into all aspects of the planning and great explanation of the PA too by the way.
Hi Aeritive, Wow that's exciting hope it goes well!!! It's really fun to finally get away from your local airport and actually do some "real" flying to other locations, let me know how it goes. What I liked to do with my instructor was fly to airports where there was a nice restaurant and have lunch as long a he wouldn't charge me for the time eating :-) Blessings, skip
The 1st time I took ground school, I was 16 years old and locked right on. I remember the “old guys” who were 35-40 years old and how much they struggled with the flight computer and wind triangles and such things. The 2nd time I took ground school I was mentoring my 19 year old son and I was 44 and an active pilot. Times had changed and he was picking up on things I had long since forgotten. I am using your videos just for me this time and they’re kicking my backside. So don’t give up, guys, if you’re having trouble, it will sink in sooner or later. And thanks, Skip, for sharing your knowledge with all of us, I’m really enjoying getting my backside kicked by a good instructor.
What a great story Steve, must be really exciting to see you son jumping into aviation, hope he takes after his dad ;-) and thanks for encouraging me I often need that. Blessings, skip
sheesh i really like the video but wow i wish the video was longer just to slow it down for my small brain ha. Maybe u can do more Nav log example videos so that we can soak it in? I love how you use pencil and paper and explain stuff as you go, very helpful, it’s just tough to absorb all the calculating in a few minutes 😢
Hi writersbrock9246, Thanks so much really glad you like the series. Believe me I understand the "small brain" thing. It took me months to get this down and even longer to make the series. Don't give up just go slow. Download the video series if you need. I did make a digital navigation log that does all the math for you. You still need to get all the information to input but it can help you check your math calculations and could be useful for quick planning of short flights. Watch the video in the link below, in the description is a link to where you can download the program for the X Plane Forum. Thanks for watching and good luck and let me now how you progress. If you download the program please let me know what you think, it's a very small simple program.

:-) That's great, hang in there it will all make sense the more you use it!! In my first, now replaced, series on this I messed up the E6B section so I had to redo the whole series because of one little mistake that when through all the following videos ! :-( Blessings, skip
