Sometimes when I create videos, I try to be really new and innovative, but other times, I just create what I wish existed while I was training for my license. I hope you guys enjoy a video like this with some cool graphics to help explain something that's not entirely evident before you start flying for real.
Hey, did you guys know that the FAA actually certifies flight instructors to tell you everything that I try to convey in these videos? You should definitely talk to one of them instead of trusting some video you found on the internet, because who am I to tell you how to fly? I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences with the world, and these videos are not meant to be instructional or advisory in any respect.

This was really nice, one of the things us sim pilots often rush or don't ever learn to do is all the pre-flight planning, checks etc. It's too easy to not bother. (That's another reason I like the A2A PA28 - no walk-round, no remove pitot probe cover, no Airspeed...!) I've been fortunate to have some flight training, so I have been taught some good practices, but I know there are loads I'm missing. Just seeing you calculate things like distance to threshold, thinking about required flaps - as opposed to what I always do: 1st at abeam the numbers, 2nd on base, 3rd on final made me wonder if you could do a video just compiling some useful flying tips that help you work in-flight, the little things to think about that help one fly more professionally. Although this would help sim pilots immensely, it would also be of use to students as a recollection of the kind of tips you only receive from a human instructor, the things not necessarily taught in the book... (For example, I'm trained to tower level on Vatsim, but it was only by tuning my local airport real-world and trawling through videos on youtube that I learned all the little local procedures, reporting points, etc...)

Frequency is shared. Read backs are important, to minimize confusion and avoiding incidents, but voicing gratitude is not welcome at a busier airport and is a bad habit to get into. Keep your transmissions clear, concise, and to a minimum. Air traffic controllers are just looking for answers to 3 basic questions upon initial contact: Who, Where, & What. Who ( Piper Warrior, N280RT, for example), Where (reporting point, such as a land mark), What (take off, remaining in the pattern, full-stop, touch-n-go, or en route). Note: once you have told the controller your aircraft make & model, all you need is just the call sign, for any follow up transmissions. The controller may have written a strip on you after the initial call. Personally, I would have preferred to get that nose wheel off the ground as soon as I could, but just enough to break contact with the ground, so I can still build up speed quickly, with just the main gear. It takes a little practice, but you don't need to hold the nose wheel down on the pavement until you rotate. Doing so wears out your nose wheel faster. If you are rolling fast enough when you can steer down the runway with your rudder, you don't need to steer with the nose wheel. See soft field take off technique.

Love the video overlays. Great job as usual but between your chatty passenger in the rear, your pre-flight seemed rushed. No offense. I didn't observe a few items that are on most checklists. Flight controls free and correct? Gauges in the green-Airspeed alive on takeoff? Also I was taught to turn around and verify my trim tab being set for takeoff, and not just assume it's aligned in the cockpit. Maybe Warrior's are different however many Cessna's never line up as indicated. Keep up the good work and thanks for the video.
@FriendlySkiesFilm 7 жыл бұрын
I find it funny that you call what I would coin a "run-up" a "pre-flight", because that is when I do all the things you mention, before the plane has ever left the hangar. Seems silly to get out to the runway, and only then notice that your cables are crossed :P You can do the takeoff stuff in head too, you know ;) Not trying to dismiss your concerns, btw. This is just what I mean in my most recent videos when I say that the online community gives us a deceptively good reputation. I'm sure you don't, but if you think half of the pilots out there fly with the standards you guys hold us to, you're very wrong. Glad you enjoyed, though! :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the open captions. Always hard to understand ATC and often ATIS. Do you have a switch to mute passengers when listening to ATC and other planes or the reverse? Never see you adjust it. Why is the fuel pump ever turned off? Why is it not designed to automatically cycle as needed to maintain pressure, like in my car? And carb heat compared to a car's automatic EGR system. Don't understand why these must be manually controlled in small planes.

Another great video! Quick question. I once asked my instructor if I could put a gopro on the outside of the airplane. And he told me that you need a STC (supplemental type certificate) to do so. Did you get one of those to put your gopros outside of the plane?
@FriendlySkiesFilm 7 жыл бұрын
You definitely do not need an STC. At most you would need the signature of your A&P to authorize the minor modification that has no effect on any of the performance characteristics of the aircraft. There are tons of forum articles about this all over the web, though, and with far more knowledgeable advice than mine.
@hempelcx 7 жыл бұрын
Restrictions may differ if the plane is used in a Part 135 operation, but most likely only if you actually bolt it to the plane. Straps would not count as a modification any more than dirt would. No one has ever requested an A&P authorization or STC for dirty wings. Nick is quite right -- lots of conversation about that topic on the webs. Google and prepare to be unsure.

Such an awesome video Nick, I love seeing content creators going back to the basics and just making some fun interesting videos every now and then. A couple of questions/stuff to think about, I've noticed that your checklist says the boost pump should be on for the run-up, any particular reason why? Since I've become an instructor I've begun to think about why checklists are ordered the way they are, and some Piper checklists call for that to be on. Personally, I want to know that the engine will run in the run-up without the boost pump on. Something to think about! Also, do you normally use 10 degrees of flaps for takeoff? I know in my Warrior I use 0 or 25 depending on what type of takeoff I'm doing. Anyway, I enjoy enjoy seeing content from a fellow Warrior pilot. Rock on!
@FriendlySkiesFilm 7 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed :) I've thought about that before actually. I guess I got distracted last time I was thinking about it. The only thing I can think of might be that higher fuel pressure might help with cooling the cylinder heads? Perhaps I'll cycle it in the future. It's about time for a redux of my checklists anyway. As for the flaps, I was taught with no flaps, then the second I had my PPL, all the instructors said, "yeah, we just tell students that. Use one notch for best lift." I was like wtf guys? I have to say, they are correct, the climb rate is pretty great, though.
@hempelcx 7 жыл бұрын
Yes, CHTs on the ground climb rapidly without air flowing so ensuring fuel delivery is good. It may also be there to avoid creating a vapor lock during run-up that then spoils your takeoff. However you also want to know if your fuel pump is working before you shut off the boost pump in the climb only to discover you're shutting off your engine as well. Bit of a quandary. I have contemplated starting the run-up without boost pump to verify fuel pressure, then turn it on to make sure it's also working. However, I'm not an A&P and recommend consulting one before diverging from POH. I think it also depends on the engine. Interesting note about CHTs during run-up. We're all taught to do runup into the wind. That's actually important if you're in a taildragger. But it turns out, due to physics and stuff, that you get best airflow through the cowl if you do the run-up facing directly downwind. Again, do not do this in a taildragger, the high AoA creates bad vibrations. But in a tricycle gear plane this method can greatly reduce overheating during run-up or even lined up waiting for an IFR release with the engine running. Fun facts. As an engineer I thought Nick would enjoy digging into that. It has to do with high and low pressure areas around the prop.

Weldon Hastings It kinda does... I feel like what I would really like to do is circle low and close to an airport, that way it lessons my workload, and I can be low while still having a place to land. I probably will do it this summer.

Its funny.. when we climb in a Tampico TB9 the pilot keeps the nose up and i cant see the horizon for a long while until reaching cruise.. first times seemed a bit odd to me.. but of course i have to let the guy do his job as he knows better. More than stall what struck me more was the nearly total lack of frontal visibility until leveling .. we could be heading into a 747 or a party balloon and not see it at all

As with IFR, knowing your climb rate and departure numbers will ensure obstacle clearance whether or not you can see ahead, so I don't worry about that terribly much. But an R22 cutting across your path for a parallel taxiway landing, that's hard to know if you can't see in front. I still tend to "jump" off the runway because I like that sensation, but once airborne I try to keep the nose down for visibility and passenger comfort.

i.b. hemp We knew well there was no obstacles ahead and he didnt actually pitched up that much until about 500 feet to 1500.. there was nothing to hit really but it was still a bit unsettling not seeing anything at all but the TB9 nosem for a while.. as said i trust the guy so i was not worried.. and its not diferent to flying IFR (wich he was rated for) but it was striking to me.. like there could be a ULM right in front and we wouldnt see it (that day there were several other ULMs flying as well tought they stayed 500f bellow us)

I just watched a new video about altimeters. Why are pressure gauges used instead of radar? Why height about sea level instead of height above the ground you're directly over? Why not height about the mountain directly ahead? Mentor said sea level was to standardize measuring the height difference between planes in flight traveling across different terrains. Please make this video. I still don't understand this regarding a small plane inland, without a nearby body of water.

I was always taught, when flying final approach in a Warrior, because power is low always have carb heat on the whole way down. The rule was always : low power = carb heat on. I think it's a good rule.
@FriendlySkiesFilm 7 жыл бұрын
As I'm sure you know, carb heat is one of those things in aviation that we will never have a consensus on, but do you mind if I conduct a little experiment? Do you know why one might want to use carb heat as little as possible, especially over dense populations?
@howardgraff4084 7 жыл бұрын
I've not ever heard that there is a lack of consensus on carb heat. I thought the consensus was "carb heat on before moving to low power settings". Moreover, the POH for the Warrior lists "carb heat on" as an action during descent. I'm curious as to why you say that one might not want to do that over a dense populated area, and do the risks you are considering outweigh the risks of carb ice? (Carb ice engine stoppages continue to kill pilots each year.)
@Flightx52 7 жыл бұрын
If you look in the Warrior checklist, it lists the carb heat "as required". Nick actually mentioned it in the video but if you look at the tach in the Warrior it has a green arc going from around 500 all the way up to the red line. That green arc is saying that carb heat isn't needed anywhere within it. Compare that to a carbureted Cessna which requires the carb heat to be on whenever the power is reduced below the green arc which is significantly smaller than the Warrior. All that to say, the Warrior already somewhat heats the induction air on its own. The air intake is above and behind two of the engine cylinders. That's why the carb heat normally isn't required unless you get signs of carb icing. :)
@howardgraff4084 7 жыл бұрын
I don't think it is possible to get the engine on a Warrior to tick over at less than 500rpm, so that explanation makes no sense to me: If the green arc on the Warrior (all the way down to 500rpm) meant "no carb heat required in this rev range" then carb heat would never be required in a Warrior! I think the poor use of carb heat leads to dead pilots. There are so many NTSB examples of this. Therefore I think the correct lesson is to use carb heat when engine power is low, and to turn it on before reducing power.
@Flightx52 7 жыл бұрын
There's certainly nothing wrong with using the carb heat whenever you feel it's necessary. The reason why that green arc extends down to 500rpm is that induction air is already heated. Next time you go fly the Warrior, take a look down the top of the cylinders on the pilot's side and you'll see the air intake that goes over those cylinders that are 200+ degrees. Piper designed it that way specifically to combat carb incing problems.

Will do. Luckily I have ways of searching comments, so you won't be left behind. I'll likely announce it on the channel too. Expect this spring in another 4-6 months.

I'd love to keep is cheap, but simply can't give you guys an inferior product.

@FriendlySkiesFilm 7 жыл бұрын
I was actually taught that way too!! Then the second I got my certificate, all the instructors told me, "yeah, yeah, that's what we teach, but we all really do it this way." Do this day I haven't been able to get a real answer out of them as to why, but they are right on one thing. It does drastically increase your climb performance, and I enjoy that in a single engine plane. Great question! :)
