Congratulations Captain!!! passfaaexams.com/

Thank you so much. I am getting my AGI now as weather in florida is bad so cant fly much. I will recommend your software for everyone. I am getting your software for IFR training as well. I think you are much better than kings and gleim

Mine is tomorrow.

donnyguns1 Thank you Donny. Before you spend some money with a ground instructor you might wish to take a peak at our courses. In your case I would probably recommend the Private Pilot Check-Ride Prep software as its also an excellent companion for a BFR which is what you will be doing. If you are also IFR rated and are thinking of doing an IPC then you might also want to purchase the Instrument Check-Ride Prep software. They are available for all devices online at: passfaaexams.com/faa-check-ride-prep-software/ or on iTunes at: itunes.apple.com/us/artist/pts-gs/id552335173 Lucas

Happy to help!

Thank you Sir.

You are welcome. Get the full courses at: passfaaexams.com/

Agrred. But only that...they say that TC is the course corrected for WCA that is wrong! True course is the desired direction of flight as measured on a chart, clockwise from true north! TH is TC corrected for WCA...MC is the TH corrected for variation and CH is the MH corrected for deviation.

Your POH has data table for climbing to altitude, time, fuel burn.

***** For the TOC distance you should refer to you POH. Now if your airspeed indicator shows MPH rather than knots then yes you should convert it but 1.5 is too much 1 KT = 1.15078 so 90 KT = 103.57. Finally to find out the climb time you would also refer to the climb performance of your POH. It will give you time, distance and fuel used.

Dear Mr. Aranha I am not sure who JC is. In any case the tool you mention is called a plotter and can be bought from any pilot store. just google: "buy an aviation plotter" and you will find plenty. Lucas

Karim Hasnawi Simple. Let's say your fuel consumption is 9 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) and your total flight time will be 4 hours and 36 minutes. All you need to do is multiply 9 x 4.6 to get an answer of 41.4 Gallons. The reason I multiplied 9 (the GPH) times 4.6 is because: 36 minutes is 36/60 of an hour which equals .6. In other words each 6 minutes is .1 of an hour, add to that 4 hours and you have 4.6 hours.

Thank you so much Lucas I really appreciate it; you always answer my questions and subscribers, keep it up i amlooking forward to watching new videos.

the 6-hour forecasts are usable from the time they are issued until 3 hours after the valid time. The 12 hour forecasts are usable from -3 to +6 hours of the valid time and 24 hour forecasts are usable from -6 to +6 hours of the valid time. The products are issued 4 times daily. So if the winds were issued at 3 PM (your local time) a 5 PM flight could use either forecast.

CAS and TAS are obtained from the POH

First leg's readings are actually 111, 291, 21, 201. Therefore, the correct course is 201. However, not a big deviation, only 2 degrees (from 199). Yet, I'd prefer that the author agree this correction to prevent further confusion.

Guilherme Pereira Yes Mr. Pereira definitely. Do not interpolate between surface winds and 6000 feet as, generally, they will be quite different because of surface friction. Also keep in mind that if the winds at 3,000 feet are not shown it means that the reporting station elevation is at least 1,500 feet MSL and could be as high as 4,449 feet MSL (no winds are forecast within 1,500 feet of the station elevation). Flying at 4,500 feet might put you dangerously close to the ground.

Thank you so much!

Dill Robinson Hello Mr. Robinson To find the winds you need to refer to the Winds and Temperatures aloft forecasts (FD). Any aviation weather site will offer this information. here is a link to one of them: www.aviationweather.gov/windtemp

Awesome thank you kindly. And thanks for the quick response!

Dill Robinson No Problem Sir. Our Customer Service is ranked in the top of the industry for good reason!

Sure

You can easily use a yardstick or just any long straight object to trace the line then draw the checkpoints. That done use the plotter to calculate the distances between them. Add them all up to get the total distance. For the winds you should use at least three stations for a long X-C (more if in a mountainous region).

thanks for quick and very helpful reply

Yes you will need a plotter and a flight computer

Gian Luca Noia they do not provide at the testing center correct?

luke cartwright nope

Gian Luca Noia thank you. Last question about your quizes. This one really bugs me. On density altitiude chart questions. If i use the cx2 and enter the numbers to find density altitude. I get the question wrong. Where as if i use the chart provided. Which is less acurate i get a diffrence answer that is the correct one. Are the answers to the question based off the chart and not the exact number on the cx-2? Because now i am afraid to use the cx2 on my test if it gives me the wrong answers.

alhfgsp every plane is different

alhfgsp plus some people use a cruise climb airspeed which is greater than vy

Another reason is for visibility. Being able to see out over the cowl and scanning for possible traffic.

CAS and TAS are obtained from the POH

Thanks for your reply. Is CAS IAS?

Calvin Watson CAS or calibrated airspeed is IAS (indicated airspeed) corrected for errors and such in the aircraft's airspeed indicator. There is a table in the performance section of your pilot's operating handbook that gives you the CAS for various IAS and different flap settings. TAS is CAS corrected for the pressure altitude above sea level and as a rough approximation, TAS is roughly 2% higher for every 1000ft above sea level. So, for example, at 6000ft MSL if you obtain a CAS of 80kts, it will mean a TAS of about 90kts. This is just to explain the theory. However, as mentioned above, for purposes of flight planning, you can obtain the KTAS from the POH (under "cruise performance"), which is given for various pressure altitudes and temperatures, at a particular engine RPM setting. For example, I fly a Cessna 152 and if I plan to fly at an altitude of 4000ft and the temperature is 20C above standard (15C), then my POH says at an RPM setting of 2300 (typical cruise for the 152), the TAS will be 95 with a fuel consumption of 4.9 GPH.

The best thing to do is average out the winds but do not use the surface winds. For example the winds at 3000 are 250 at 12 and at 6000 320 at 15 then average out the winds for the climb at 285 at 13 knots. And yes the 90 knots was just a starting random number. What you need to do is find the true airspeed for a given configuration from the POH and you can use that for the Nav Log.

Gian Luca Noia Thanks for the fast reply. I understand better with the winds now. Now regarding the airspeeds, my POH shows the TAS for a given power setting at a certain pressure alt, which I enter onto the navlog as my TAS.During the climb though, all my POH shows as far as I know is the Vy Vx speeds, which are indicated. So during the climb phase, is it ok to enter the indicated airspeed in the TAS column as my reference ?

bugnut82 Yes you would use Vy or higher for better engine cooling and greater speed (unless you need to clear an obstacle). Entering the indicated is fine as long as you aren't climbing to 40,000 feet and the temperature is way off standard.

Gian Luca Noia Cool thanks again. Sorry to pepper you with a bunch of questions, but I have more. Since you said I can average the winds during the climb phase, that would affect my ground speed. For example, if I am climbing at Vy (75) and I entered that onto my nav log under the TAS column, when trying to get my ground speed, it's ok to use 75 as the TAS even though it's indicated only?

bugnut82 Yes, unless again you are climbing to 40,000 feet and the temperature is way off standard. By the way you might be interested in purchasing our virtual ground school at: passfaaexams.com/private-pilot-knowledge-test-prep/ Its a 13 Hour ground school that goes over every concept a Private Pilot needs to be familiar with. Yes its $100 but you will probably save over 2,000 in ground one-on-one with your instructor.

I don't think I understand the question. The video is fairly clear: align the plotter with the line you drew on the map and then slide the center until it's over either a latitude or longitude line...

How are you getting the plotter to display?

Art Wright Still not sure if you are talking about the software I use to make it all happen or else?

Yes, what software/application?

Well its a combination of Adobe Captivate and Flash. Most of the animations are made in Flash but now I have switched to Adobe Edge Animate as it publishes as HTML5 and thus its viewable on iPad and Android. But for the KZfaq Videos I stick to Flash as its much faster and more powerful than Edge Animate.

block9699 you have no idea about flying close or in Canada..😳

At the time, from the FD (winds and temperatures aloft forecast).

@@GianLucaNoia thanks, big help

Ahh, Sir. Maybe you are new at this but 90 knots equals 1.5 NAUTICAL MILES per minute. Maybe you should check your aviation chart and airspeed indicator before posting such a silly comment!
