Thanks for The Ground School App plug Juan! 🙌🙏🏻 We’re stoked to see you’re enjoying the app 👍👍

I'm not even a pilot, but Juan makes me feel like one when I'm listening. He does such an excellent job of bringing together those inside and outside aviation onto his channel. Also, I learn more from reading the comments sections at times than I would reading any books. Such a valuable, valuable channel! Thanls again Juan for your time and effort on this channel!

Hi Juan, retired from AA 2007, don’t miss the sore shoulder from lifting the kit bag over the left seat of the 737 and doing revisions. Enjoy your channel, keep up the good work.

Many many years ago I was on a Braniff flight when we hit unexpected turbulence. No big deal I was already strapped in. The flight attendant however was rushing with a tray of drinks to get back to the galley so she can strap in about then the plane dropped out from underneath her and she suddenly got about 2 ft taller. She almost hit her head on the overhead. And when she came down she dumped the tray of drinks on the guy sitting next to me. What a change from yesterday to today. Instead of getting upset and calling an attorney, he just laughed it off he got a few vouchers for dry cleaning and all was good. Thankfully no one got hurt. The flight attendant was especially lucky that she fell the way that she did and did not hurt herself. I remember sitting here with the guy next to me just laughing about it. He didn't care if he had soda and booze on his lap and shirt. I'm sure he would just write it off on his taxes if he needed to. But turbulence is something you need to respect as a passenger. Pilots don't flip on that seat belt sign just for giggles. If that sign comes on and you're not wearing your belt like you're supposed to when you're not moving about you need to put it on. If you don't put it on shame on you and if you get hurt that's all on you.

First time I saw Foreflight in real time was in a Cessna 150 just weeks ago. No matter what you fly it's an amazing tool.

As usual, a very interesting and informative presentation even for myself, a non-pilot. I would trust flying with you anytime and anywhere.

It's awesome seeing you share your "whole baked biscuit" on the aircraft with us... you're still a big kid! Don't ever change

Spookiest sight since the morning I awoke alone in a 400 man compartment aboard LPH 10 Tripoli, a Marine Btn helicopter carrier, sailing in the South China Sea from Luzon enroute to DaNang, S. Vietnam. Later, I discovered one other Marine who was in my Fireteam. We were two of three who did not get seasick from riding through a typhoon the previous night. The other a Senior Chief who ran the enlisted mess. We ate great.

I non-rev'd in one of those fancy cube first class sear a couple of times, the only thing that was opened. You should mention that the Jepp FD Pro app also inverts the colors for night use, and gives pictorial in for about runways, lighting systems, visual aid, etc. Definitely a lot more that would fit in the old 30 lbs Jepp case. I only miss spending time inserting the old yellow revision pages, in the sense that killed a lot of time when aloft. Have a great flight, and safe return home.

Latest 'traffic report here in rural Northern Montana. Light to Moderate Elk and Deer congestion along Hwy 87 North.

I couldn‘t become an ATP, but your videos are the next best thing! Thanks Juan for taking us along!!

I worked for a major computer company when Jeppesen was still doing paper maps. Also the USGS was one of my accounts. I wrapped a lot of gifts 🎁 with old maps in the day 😉

Oh, did not know about those in-ground lights that lead you to a specific parking bay! Excellent idea. Cheers.

GHOST Flight with Biscuits, must be very weird to walk around that huge plane with no passengers! This was a super-interesting video Juan, thanks!

Flew into Gimpo airport early of 1984. Left from Seattle and about 3/4 of the way through the flight we were joined by some type of fighter aircraft they stayed with us for an hour or so. The pilot announced we were getting a short escort through part of the flight due to the Russians shooting down Korean Air Lines flight 007.

Thanks Juan! I asked about your software, but didn't expect a whole episode on it - awesome!

Not only is Incheon one of the best terminals in the world, it looks like they have all the latest technology too.

I’m PPL and haven’t been in the air in about 15 years. I try to keep up with the advances in industry tech but I really had no clue how much it as evolved. It literally as if seems as if the entire “sky is on the cloud! I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm, but above all, knowledge! Makes me want to get current and into the big blue again. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

This whole app thing, it's seriously like 15 years old from its earliest beginnings. I can't imagine what we'll see down the road.

Me being a millwork and cabinet maker for 45 yrs, and having a love for anything nautical… I looked at the video intro picture and thought…what the heck is Juan doing inside a lighthouse looking down the spiral staircase? Then my second passion slapped me! Lol, now I better watch the video!

Kudos for reading the comments and noticing + addressing the communities curiosity. Appreciate you touching on the internal GPS on the iPad.

The private pilot written exam. That really stirs memories. I'm going to look up the course you recommended and see how much it's changed. Great video!

Juan, I am a ATP, Com Rotorcraft and hold an A&P and I am hooked on your videos Great Delivery and definitely my favorite channel to follow. I think anyone watching your channel would love to be able to sit down with you to talk shop over a cup of Coffee, Hope to meet you one day. Keep" em" coming! Happy Contrails!

Juan - thanks for taking us with you to S.Korea - your vids are great, so much more than just flying airplanes , very educational on weather patterns, the situation in California with fires, drought, then heavy rain , etc... keep up the good work and look forward to your next adventures

It was interesting to see the improvements brought by technology. The details about turbulence tracking and auto-reporting of encounters was news to me!

Juan, so informative. For a pilot that started flying in 1960, I just love all the current technology. Spent most of my 60 year flying career all below 10,000 ft. As you can imagine, as technology presented itself, I embraced it all. Keep up the good work!

Juan, thanks for the current technology briefing. You pulled it all together into one video better than I have seen anyone do it.

Hey Juan, I really enjoy your videos. Aviation has been a favorite subject all my life. You do it justice (and I like Dan) with all your broad knowledge, from drag racing to my favorite, Sky King. Yes I watched him and Penny live. Keep up the good work and let your kids get you some new tee shirts.

You mentioned turbulence and how it was different in parts of the aircraft. The short time in the MD-80, the ride up front was like being on the end of the diving board, much different from other aircraft. Even the 727-200 was not that bad. Now, the 747 was a different and more comfortable ride. Enjoy all your posts. Thanks Juan. 👍👍👍. 10-27-21

Thanks Juan, good stuff! Thanks for the Private Pilot comments. I got my PP, oral and check ride at Kelly AFB Flying Club located at KSAT International in 1968 a few months before being discharged from the USAF in early 1969.

Studying for my A&P currently and we were talking about how ForeFlight integrated ADSB into small aircraft just this morning. Ironic that you released this video today. Fly safe

Great video! I always look forward to watching your videos. They are so informative and fun to watch. I wish I was a pilot. Rock on!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! WOW -- NO more Jepps SUITCASES! I (and I am sure others) REALLY appreciate your quick reply to our request on this subject! Will look into Foreflight, and i thnk I'll subscribe to "Finer Points as well. There is a LOT to remember, safety-wise, for tired OLD brains!!!! Again, Thank You, Sir!!!!

Great job again Juan as an aviation enthusiast from being a young guy; lots of the things in aviation I wondered about year’s ago are becoming a lot clearer keep the great work up cheers 👍👍

Juan I wish you were my pilot every time I fly. Total confidence in your abilities.

Love the taxi chart on the app! I always thought taxiing was the hardest part of the flight.

Your old neighbor, Capt. Jelle, had to turn back to HNL almost halfway when they figured out they didn’t have adequate reserve fuel. We called him “Juan Eighty” at the airport for awhile!

GREAT presentation!! This one is most interesting. I love info on what is happening BEHIND the scenes. I think an I-pad (with good batteries) beats the tar out of all those charts and publications. I also caught the Oscar Brand reference there. I think that one was called "Fighter pilot's lament"!! Segment, there are no bomber pilots in the fray, the automatic pilot's on, he's reading novels in the john!! Loved it!! Oscar Brand's Bawdy songs and barroom ballads, possibly the "Up in the Blue" album. Heard those in the EARLY sixties. Thanks again Juan, for great information and insight.

Great video! Makes me feel much safer as a passenger and would loved to have had the ADSB and an IPAD when GA flying many years ago! Thanks for sharing!

Times have really changed (and for the better in aviation). I hated to do all those Jepps revisions. I still have a few leather binders from those days. I learned to fly in 1960. There were still a few low freq ranges around. Crystal controlled radios were the hot item instead of the old "coffee crank" radios you had to manually tune. I saw lots of changes during my corporate career: weather and ATC radar, ground proximity warning systems (our company helped develop), RNAV, GPS, data link for messages/clearances, commercial weather and flight planning services (like WSI and others), glass cockpits, flight management systems, simulators with full motion and visual. All of this is pretty common now but it was real "Buck Rogers" stuff when introduced. I'm glad I got to see it. I would be really lost in a modern cockpit now. I'm glad you are taking us along and explaining it well. Happy Landings, sir!

Really cool to see this tech. Glad to see they're making useful stuff. Kind of reminds me of the e-pocrates Palm Pilot app the "early adopter" doctors were using about a decade ago when I did computer repair. 1G is the gravity at the surface, 2G means people feel twice their weight (though it's probably oscillating in turbulence, so 2G rms probably means people are going between being "weightless" and twice their weight)

I can always count on your videos to be informative and educational. Safe travels Juan.✈️

The Langoliers got all the passengers…..☠️☠️☠️

Back in the day at NASA a co-worker flew missions in a Learjet carrying instrumentation trying to detect clear air turbulence. Sometime back in the 1980's. As I remember none of the equipment would work. Good to hear that progress has been made.

Sure, it's nice to know where you are in the air and on the tarmac and all...but does the software show you where the best restaurants and shops are in the terminal?? And bathrooms?? These are ALSO important things! ;)

Wow! You were walking so far back in the airplane, that I thought YOU WERE WALKING IN THE AIRPORT CORRIDOR! 😆💅🏾💯

Hi Juan, I just want to say thank you for your content! I am actually scared to fly...makes me nervous being off the ground, but your videos help me out a lot! Safe travels to you!

Flying into HKG can be fun too esp flying over the water before touch down. But if you have time, HKG is a big airport too and easy to get lost in , the food is great, and when it was running at full capacity before Covid, was always busy. Again if you have time to visit, transportation using either the Metro or one of the bus services or taxis will get you to places like Kowloon and Victoria ...However, I am sure your plans as an FO are different. Anyway, Have Fun!

I love this inside info on the airlines, very cool. Another GREAT Video from Juan. I'm going to check out some of those software apps.

Great channel Juan. I work as a dispatcher for your carrier and your videos are always spot on. I know you are an FO, but I hope to run across you someday at work.

Man, what a change from just last century. Thanks Juan.

How to reduce turbulence injuries: never leave your seatbelt unfastened. Just loosen enough to be comfortable.

Juan, You're living my dream. Thank you for the videos!

As usual, as a wonderful SME on just about everything Aviation, it's always a pleasure to clean out the Cobwebs & get the latest & greatest technology updates from you presentations. Keep up the great job. Enjoy it very much.

Thanks Juan. Really enjoyed the longer version on Patreon too. I’d like to see one of the Apollo astronauts’ reaction to this amazing technology. It’s science fiction come true.

In the 172 I am flying you can connect the ipad with the transponder with bluetooth so it will show the adsb planes on your ipad too. Also you can sync the flight plan between ipad and gps navigator. Saves a lot of time twisting those knonbs to input.

Hey folks - that empty plane with the 2001 space odyssey music is a great idea ! Who ever else has a chance to do that but Mr. Juan ! Bring it on big buddy ... if that's even possible ? Thanks, Bob - DeBary , Fl.

What incredible technology!! Thanks for the presentation!

Once you go Freight you don't ever want to go back ! Fantastic channel 🙂.

Ferry flights were some of my favorites

Juan i heard you say the other day that some Airline Pilots can make 300k a year, right off the top of my head I thought, god that is so sweet, now at 13min into this video, I'm not so sure any more, there have been many aviators in my family, but I can tell its not for everyone. I enjoy the information in your vids cause I'm kinda into civil infrastructure, falling into it when the shipyard closed. Best returns from the east, clear skies...

'Follow the green lights' has been available at LHR for at least 3 decades. It would be good if more major airports incorporated this feature.

I cannot imagine the transition from paper binders to EFBs. Having attended school for aviation using an EFB the whole way has spoiled me (although that's the way the industry is going so maybe I'm really just ahead of the curve...)

Hey Juan, back in the saddle, u look stocked! Thanks 😊

Thanks, that so so helpful as a retired small aircraft pilot things has changed so much for the better but I still fly on x plane on a weekly basis most on 737 thanks again

I can see pilots developing all kinds of safety ideas and practical ways of using this new software. The biggest danger is those who don't or won't use it right.

That G-meter data sent in directly from other aircraft, that you are able to see in the weather application is incredible.

I saw some of the Ipad use before I retired on the Airbus. I wasn't all that wild about it. I did miss being able to have the taxi chart ready so when I pulled off the runway I'd have it right there. As opposed to having to get to the menu on the Ipad to bring it up With one hand on the tiller and the other on the throttles, it's not convenient to pick up the Ipad to view anything. F/O has to do it. And the Ipad is a lot more bulky to view an approach chart on vs. the paper version. The best thing was downloading revisions instead of having to do them manually. I didn't mind the flight bag that much once we went to roller bags.

Nice view through the Fan Duct looking forward.

The iPad mini was a great tool, liked it more than the big ones. Took a while to get to that level great situational awareness.

Wow I really loved it Juan! I have flown many times across the Pacific into Incheon (not as a pilot) and wished I could have seen all that flight data on the seat in front of me. They do have overly simplified maps...too simple...But I want more! I recognize the route over the Aleutions from Boston or NYC or ORD or DFW etc and always enjoyed flying the long distances. So Sad to see an empty 200. Watching Jerry Dyer on Big jet TV at Heathrow shows an increase in air traffic that's really a good sign for the industry. Have fun flying the Big foot 200 with those Trent 7's to Hong Kong. Thanks !

Your videos are great, thanks for taking the time to make them. 👏

Thanks Juan, love this kind of content!

Thank you so much for bringing us along!

cool. BTW over a decade ago, I was in between IT jobs so was hiring into a boring Security job. One of my assignments was front desk at NAVCANADA Surrey office. It was a real shock that this office had all the En route Air-traffic controllers up stairs. Where is the building locate? Across the street from Costco, 17 miles from YVR. The building was formerly a furniture warehouse. Communications runs from the building to the radar at YVR. The property decided to cut cost and let got the contract for on property security. The cameras and gate are controlled and monitored remotely back east in Navcanada head quarters.

I really like the weather app you talked about!!

Always learning on this channel...and loving it. :)

I took the PP written exam half a century ago in my mid teens, and it was packed with obsolete symbology for 1930's airports. I demand that they continue this practice to equalize the difficulty level! I was furious that due to ignoring that I only passed rather than aced the test. But it would have prepared me to do a forced landing at a defunct airport that had been uncovered by a sandstorm in AZ for example. 😃

That was a great shot of walking the empty cabin. You should do it like the movie “2001 Space Odyssey” when astronaut Frank Poole was jogging in a circle in the spaceship, and add the soundtrack from the scene to it!

Juan is very factual with his dissertation... a good channel to follow ...

Thank you Captain! I’m going to check Fore flight for my iPad👨‍✈️

For the turbulence, RMS stands for "root mean square" it is the 'power' of the turbulence, as opposed to the Peak value or the average value.. For a sine wave the RMS value is 0.707 times the peak value.

Your walk thru of the airplane reminds me of a Steven King movie. The passengers disappeared in flight

One of the most beautiful channels on yt.❤️

Very informative video, Juan. Thank you

Sad to see the empty 200… but I know what you mean about the turbulence being different at the back, nearly started to feel slightly unwell sitting on the rear most seat in a 200mph tailwind! Safe travels back home!

Another great video ! Thanks Juan!

Thanks Juan. Wish we had that turbulence plot tool at Endeavor.

I haven’t flown in over 15 years. Planes have changed a bit, that plane looked pretty nice. The first class seats were unreal.

Loved the whole presentation. Thanks!

Just what I requested. Thanks, Juan!

Wow this is the first I've heard of the turbulence prediction tool and especially the automated reporting system from aircraft sensors. This is great news as turbulence pireps are dubious at best. For example, an extreme turbulence pirep from a Cirrus pilot usually means that they spilled a couple drops of their coffee but the area is safe to go through. LOL

Enjoyed the video, thanks Juan 😊

Such great stuff! Making air travel safer.

Wow! Awesome video, yet again! 💪💪😎😎

Very interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

We have also went to iPads on the railroad. Our job is no where near as involved as yours, but it’s cool to see some parallels. Also, loved that restored Yamaha your friend has.

Near the front of a FAR/AIM book is listed the required study of each part, listed by rating sought.

Love it! Safe travels!

Great stuff again, many thanks. Stay safe.
