Just an FYI, this video was not sponsored by anyone. I suggested a lot of ASA because they offer a reasonable quality for the price, and if you never use them after getting your certificate they wont break the bank. They do print a lot of the books provided by the FAA as well.

You guys are by far my favourite aviation channel on KZfaq. I’m only fourteen right now, but becoming a pilot is my ultimate dream. I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now, after a good friend of mine got me into aviation and took me in his plane. Thank you so much for taking time to help young aspiring pilots like myself. Cheers and best wishes, Jess x

I recommend the flash cards. Each person learns differently. I used similar flash cards when I was in law school. I don't think I would have passed my courses without them. They work for me. They present the scenario, ask you to assess it. You develop your own assessment, and then compare it with the answers provided. This is a great learning system for me. Make your own decision if it works for you. Whatever you do, find what works for you, and use that to the fullest extent possible.

@Fly With The Guys >>> Although NOT a book or other printed training aid, one thing I would suggest is taking some kind of _action cam_ to record your training flights. Afterward, you can review the video to help learn how to avoid any mistakes you made. I soloed in 1979, although I never stuck with it long enough to get my ppl. I _wish_ digital video have been around back then....

I've watched this repeatedly throughout my training. I am at the very end, can confirm these are all the materials you need to get through it. The only items I didn't get were a sectional or terminal area chart, Ipad or EFB makes the cockpit more organized plus foreflight makes the weather very accessable anytime before flying. There are some other things I recommend. I would've invested in a flight bag so everything is neat in order. My equipment is getting in sort of rough shape. A test prep course is a very good supplement to get ready for the written. The FAA resources are very great. But I would prefer to use a software for written prep. I used gleim and it was great for private. (not commercial though, I took that today, did great though because I used another software with it that was cheaper!) If not, at least become familiar with the knowledge test supplement book. Gleim provides the charts, figures and diagrams on their test prep software. But review the testing supplement for sure. Other than that, can confirm that is everything.

Great work, Carl! Got myself a padded backpack from a local store for all my stuff where I can fit in a seat cussion as well as flight school don´t provide these and I´m not that big. And consider some action cams to record your flights as a reference work to learn a bit faster (and of course to make nice videos out of them ☺ ). I don't know ASA headsets, but there are more cheaper ones that are way better in (passive) reducing engine sounds than the more expensive ones.

I recently became interested in aviation but I'll never be able to become a pilot...mainly because of a lack of money on my end, but also...as this video reminded me...I am terrible at math (I have dyscalculia - a math learning disorder). xD The idea of having to do all those calculations would be daunting and stressful. BUT...I appreciate all the links to the books and such. It's still interesting to read about and I want to get the flashcards eventually, just for the fun of it.

Only thing I can think of is the Pilot’s Operating Handbook for the aircrafts you are flying. Weight and Balance questions, CG question’s, and some aircraft systems questions are going to come right out of that book. It would be in the aircraft, but having a nice PDF copy on your iPad or phone really helps prepare for the oral exam.

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying them. Some of those things are good to have in a standard flight bag. I didn't think to include them because depending on where and what you fly, those things are already in the plane for your use. It's nice to have your own though.

Planning on moving to rural Alaska next year would a light sport license be good enough for a small bush plane?

@flywiththeguys 2 жыл бұрын

Probably not, especially in Alaska. Light sport has a lot of limitations. This is just my opinion though.

You mentioned the iPad with ForeFlight. I have the iPad mini 4 wifi only. When using ForeFlight will my flight plan be tracked on the app? Like will I see my plane moving on the map? Will it give me data like distance from the destination, knots I'm flying, all that other stuff? I'm just trying to figure out why ForeFlight really commended getting the iPad with cellular? Thanks for your help. Great video

Thanks! And to answer your question. If you get cellular version it does have GPS that works, but I would save your money and make a ADS-B receiver. There are lots of how to's, and I may make my own. Then you'll have GPS and ADS-B in info right on ForeFlight tha tyou can take with you to any airplane. If your transponder is ADS-B in as well, it typically offers a wifi connection to attach your tablet to. stratux.me/

Fly With The Guys ok so what you’re saying is I can build an ADS-B and hook it up to my iPad WIFI ONLY and it will do the exact same thing as if I had an IPad with cellular?

@@littlenel17 Correct, and then you'll have traffic on your iPad as well. Which is really REALLY useful. =)

@@flywiththeguys oh awesome. I didn't want to spend $500 on another ipad. When you say traffic. You mean ill be able to see other planes on the app, almost like a radar?

@flywiththeguys 4 жыл бұрын

Correct. That’s the glory of ADS-B. The out is required by the 2020 mandate. You make that little box and now you have an in, and they’re shown in your tablet. There are other devices you can use to do it, but they are 500-600 $$. But again, check the plane you fly first to see if it has an IN that your tablet can use.

Can you please name all the exams for the private pilot and if the classes are obligatory.

@flywiththeguys Жыл бұрын

There’s the written test and the checkride. The checkride consists of an oral portion and a flying portion. That’s it. Schools may have you do stage checks, which can feel like tests, but there not required by the FAA.

@@flywiththeguys I am a little bit confused. FAA indicates that one should provide supervisor or instructor approval of class participation to be able to give written exams. I am under impression that I can read all the books by myself, do simulations without the school involvement. Then I register for the written exam, oral exam, and simulation evaluation. After passing these I register for the flight classes and if the instructor finds out that I am knowledgable he/she can certify that with minimum amount of flight time I am ready. Am I too far from reality? I find it too expensive to pay $15000+ to an aeroclub to teach me what I can learn on my own.I already got all the books, about 20 of them recommended by FAA. I already downloaded MIT private pilot ground school course. Also, downloaded more than 5 complete courses on instruments, etc. I am planning to buy SIMiONIC complete set for simulation for less than $5000 (also looking at Flight Sim Starter Kit from Sporty's or Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Pack Boing edition). I also bought a flight computer and ASA E6B. For simulator I am looking to buy FlightGear Flight Simulator 2022 5 DvDs. What are regulations or obligations after that? I just want to learn flying for recreational sport that keeps the door open for furthur study if necesary. By the way I would appreciate if you can suggest a kit that contains yoke, throttle and good pedals. Professional but affordable (preferably under $5000). It is so difficult to know what works best.

serous question will microsoft flight simulator help in any way? also does the book the student's flight manual by william K. Kershner a good book to have to study?

@flywiththeguys 4 жыл бұрын

Flight simulators are good for a few things, like checklists, workflows, and even practicing comms these days. BUT, they are far different then actually flying a plane. The feelings, the stress, and your surroundings just cant be replicated. The FAA only allows you 2.5 hours towards your PPL using an approved sim for that very reason. I still play around in them for fun, and once you have your PPL you can use them to practice instrument work that wont count for anything, but help you develop skills you really can take back to the cockpit. I have FS2020 on preorder.... Now for the book, I have no idea. Never read it. I used the resources in here for reference in conjunction to an online course.

There are other options out there, but the iPad is really a great choice. Not much of a learning curve with it and Foreflight is an AMAZING tool.

please i need your advice on if i should go to flight school before going back to college. i've been out of college for over 2 years now and now is the time that i would be going back. Not going to school (at least AA college degree} is not an opion for me and i also want to start my flight school in other to start building my flight time. what do you suggest that i do first especially considering i might be taking loans to finish both course.

@flywiththeguys 5 жыл бұрын

I appreciate you asking, but I try not to give too much advice when money is involved. I would say, determine what your career goals are and make sure your education aligns with them. If you plan on joining the airlines, check with a recruiter and see what they recommend.
