Something about the way you talk makes everything sound so mutch easier! Cheers!

One of the clearest explanations of dead reckoning I've seen. Not just useful for flight simulators, this is a great ground school explanation for anyone working towards a pilot's licence.

You kind of want to add that TAS is the same as GS when there is zero wind. You can also use TT/course which in your example is 120* - WC which was 90* = 30* Sin=crosswind, think of sin=side cos=headwind, think of cos=nose sin(30)*15 -> (1/2)*15=7.5kt. so you have 7.5kt crosswind. cos(30)*15=13kt TAS-13kt -> 106kt-13kt=93kt which is our GS. Some good in air calculation, which is often used in IFR that could be good to know is. TOD(Top Of Descent) = (height/1000)x3 for example (6000/1000)*3=18nm. This mean you're going to start your descent 18nm from the airport on a 3 degree glidepath. ROD(Rate of Descent) what you're VSI should be at: GSx5 (only works on slower aircrafts). Example GS:100kt -> 100*5=500ft/min, then you should hold a 500ft/min descent. Time to "touch down", Height/ROD in this case 6000/500=12min. From this you know when you're going to start your descent, what you're VSI is going to show and how much time it will take before you land. You also got Standard rate of turn= TAS/10 + 5 for example 120/10 +5=17*, but you usually have a turn and bank indicator. Good video, not really sure how i got here but i thought i would give some tips. :P

By the way, Dead Reckoning is the coolest thing to do! When I was learing, I focus on how to flight using NDB, VOR, VOR/DME, and all IFR stuffs! A couple of years I realised Dead Reackoning was the real chalenge, specially if you are simulating/flying with winds. Thanks for the vid!

Video-wise, I loved how you suggested pausing the video or rewinding it in order to fully understand what you said

laughed so hard when that e6b came out XDD love love love mate

Definitely easier to understand through the way you explain it. Thanks bro!

If your GPS / avionics fail for any reason, DR is one of the most important skills to "get you home". In the very early 1970's, DR and a hand-held radio direction finder were pretty important things to know / have!

Doofer911: There is an error with the formula you introduced for computing TAS that is, TAS = (IAS) + (.02 X MSL / 1000). If we compute that with the 100 IAS and 3000 MSL, it will yield 100.06 Knots TAS. The correct formula should be, TAS = (IAS) + (.02 X MSL / 1000 x IAS). TAS = 106 Knots.

You are very good pilot instructor.

hello i am a aviation student from india i just say your video , i just want to say one thing about this *Fantastic* It just helps me a lot and the way of your talking fell like every thing easy nice man i like it a lot & learn a lot

Excellent and to the point thank you

well explained, thank you

Thank you. I have watch many videos and this this is the best out of all on this topic.

Another great video. How does one allow for the time taken from takeoff to reach 100KT IAS and 3000 FT, or can this be effectively disregarded in a flight of moderate duration? I guess there are many things that can go awry (flying VFR, encountering IMC conditions, changing wind speed/direction, coming out of cloud and finding that you are not over EGPE but some Russian nuclear research establishment). Maybe you can make another video outlining what to do!

Thank you Doofer911, much appreciated and great job!

thanks mate.. you made it very fun and easy to understand.. cheers

Thank you!

Navigation 101 for all student pilots working on getting their pilot certificate. Regardless of sat tech, pilots still have to learn to navigate the good ol'fashioned way. One thing to note though, is that magnetic variation needs to be taken into account in order to be on a corrected magnetic heading. Depending on where on the globe you are flying, the difference between true north and magnetic north (what your flight instruments indicate) could be different by well over 10 degrees.

excellent video , very well explained man !

Hi, student pilot about to do my check ride. Aside from gathering winds from the nearest reporting station, whats the best way to obtain wind direction and velocity? Maintain IAS and make a 360 turn and note the indicated speeds? Thanks!

Very good tutorial, thank you very much! Subscribed!

Thanks for the valuble information mate

I realize what was my mistake. I did not take account the TAS. I was simulating 140kts IAS. But I was flying 6000ft (TAS 156.8kts).

Well we learnt that in cie additional maths o level(relative velocity). This technique works for ships also.

Well done, sir!

Very nice work, thank you. To be honest Mathematics was always my worst subject although i suppose the E6B, as scary as it looks would make life much easier in that regard.

Can you tell me why do we have to calculate the GS ?

Is TAS also indicated airspeed at sea level at standard temperatures?

What if you only have one departure fix and speed, direction and map marked coordinates? I guess im lost then. Large open water scenerio

Thanks

nice video

But the wind speed and wind direction will change from time to time. Will this affect the calculation?

Alfred Hitchock! :)

How do you get the amount of degrees for a course?

Thought it was called DEAD reckoning because of what happened to the "Stardust."

Legends still wonder what is leg🔥🔥😂😂

0.3min is 20s not ~18s

that one hater

Apparently, one person is not good at mathematics!
