Hi Mike. I have been on a short (42 second) rabbit trail. Watched a vid from your other channel, noticed lack of uploads...went to website...last post over a year ago. Eureka! 121Mike is alive and well. Glad to see you are thriving in this short life! Keep it up. -AP

light signals (any many other useful things) are on the (mandatory to have) back of the Paper VFR Chart. At least the one published in Germany by the DFS / Eisenschmidt

Hi Mike….yes I know who I am. You’re too funny. These are great tips. One of the instructors leaves a snapshot of his face in the crotch of the cowling and the wind screen…he’s got a frown on his face….it’s a reminder to USE THE CHECKLIST! And the ‘standby’ is spot on….I told my instructor that and he laughed…that’s what he wanted me to do. I also use those abort tips…someone I don’t fly with often quizzed me why I include that in my briefing…told him…and he said that was one of the best briefs he ever received. Keep ‘em coming. Let me know where you fly out of so I can look you up for some training. I would learn a lot from you.

Is there certain things DPEs will automatically fail you on??

My mock check rides are going well...these are great videos. Instructor said I had good knowledge and am ahead of the curve.

Note about compulsory reporting points, you only are required to report your position when passing thin when you are out of radar contact with ATC. If ATC has you in radar contact, you only are required to report the points requested to you by them

THANK YOU.

I try to remember it the bicycle way... to go faster, change gear first (RPM, BLUE) and only then step on the pedals (Throttle) 😊

As a private pilot with an instrument rating, I thought your video was very informative, to the point, and worthy for all who continue their knowledge and skill building.

the background looks like a printed version of all regulations zoomed out

at my home-airport the tower is calling "vacate via X, proceed Y". spoke with a controller there, no need to report cleared... they see us well. (of course I speak for VFR flights 😊. Same for a friendly "holdining short RWYx" reminder for the tower... no clue how its handled in JFK or a busy Aeroport

Thank you Mike. A little recap of the meat of what I’ve learned so far about the three pedostatic instruments are: 1) Air speed Indicator which shows: • normal operating range • VS1 - clean stall speed • VNO - Max cruising speed • Caution Range • VNE - Never Exceed • VSO - Max weight stalling speed in landing configuration (Dirty) • VFE - Max Flap Speed (Extended) • True Air Speed 2) Altimeter which shows: • Altitude • whether you’re level, going up or down and the rate at which you are moving up or down. This is what is used for the 10% calculation for leveling. • Baromatic Pressure settings. Standard is 29.92 @ Sea Level and 15 degrees C. 3) Vertical speed indicator which shows: • your vertical speed in ft/sec or m/sec if you’re flying somewhere metric (like me) • also functions as a barometer of sorts by indicating whether you’re level are going up or down. • used to sense rate of change in altitude • used to determine in Climb and Descent rates

Thank you Mike

Thank you for your lesson... It was a help.

Another great video…wishing you well.

Good suggestion. I’ve done that before….only because that was the standard being used at the airport I was at last week.

These are the best videos as I [rep for my check ride. Love your humor.

You are awesome….telling all the students at my school about your channel.

You rock on humor and content! These videos are soooooo good. Clear and concise.

this is so helpful thank you!

Working my way thru all your videos to stay sharp before my checkride. These are really good. You cover all the essentials very clearly and precisely. One stop shopping. Wishing your channel well.

Thx Mike. Prepping for my checkride, and these are great videos.

Great presentation. Thanks

So if you're paying attention, you'll notice that there's a 31 where a 30 should be. I think it's on my ADF as well.

I have to admit, some of the more very polished channels can make videos that tend to lose my concentration. Yours is not like that.

Your teaching is exemplary.

Super clear explanations! This helped me a lot, thank you

Great video! Thank you 😊

I always enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing them with us.

Nery new to piloting. Im reading s book and just bought a flight sim setup. Going through the training im microsoft flight sim, it doesnt explain headings at all. This is the first video that explained it well enough for me to understand. Ill definitely be watching more of your videos

I will never pronounce it ME-thane because that android, Ash, said it that way and he was willing to expend all the humans in order to get the Aliens. And that was bad. Never trust an Android. Also, I appreciate the French translation. It makes it stick better.

Great presentation. Thanks

Best explanation I've seen of this topic. Was confused prior to watching this. Thanks

I appreciate your subtle humor! Great way to teach and build a memory endgram

Since you mentioned it: What is the proper technique to lean an engine before takeoff? Does it differ aircraft by aircraft? OK is there a rule of thumb that's safe for all? Can/should it be used say at sea level on a super short scary runway to provide more power/acceleration? Leaning has to be different if done from/at a dead stop Also if leaned at 2400 RPM and then you reduce to 2300 RPMs should you re-adjust your lean mixture?

That was very helpful and informative. Also, you add some humor to the lesson. I like how you used the Fat Joe hook from his song "Lean Back". Also, the suggestive reference to the four stroke combustion cycle helped me to remember it when I first started learning how to repair engines. I'm surprised you kept a straight face while saying it. I personally couldn't do it. Keep up the good work and I'll continue to check out your content.

If people are learning to gly eith a fly school does the fly school have a student license for each student. if you pay to learn to fly does the school cover your trainee license cost or does the student or a license that vovers so many students a year

I want to thank @luisbal20 for catching an error in the video. Flight instructions only require a 3rd class medical, not a 2nd class medical. (61.23) I frequently don't say what I mean, just ask my wife.

You need at least a 3rd class medical to act as an instructor not 2nd

Excellent presentation. Thanks

Good job, very well explained

Most helpful enroute chart video i've seen. Thanks

I'm just into aviation gor fun of it you'd never catch me in a plane as a passenger or anything else I'm just strange I've got autism and this is just one of my absorbing interests and severe mrntsl health isdues so id bever be able to fly but you eoukdnt catch me out walking in a storm and if a storm started while I was at shops I'd be in a taxi home . But say plane was at 14,000 couldn't it just descend to a glight level out of the storm maybe at 11,000 then if it was concerned plane coukd be damaged it could put in a pan pan pan and divert to a airport away from the storm. I'd be hysterical if I was a passenger in a jet during a storm

Sounds like good advice.

Great refresher!

I did apply this technique to get out of a bad weather system and it worked very well. I landed safely a few miles away and waited out the weather and continued on about 1 hour later. I totally agree with what you are saying.

Excellent advice, clearly stated. Thank you.

Excellent presentation. Thanks

Thanks Mike for explaining this

Great video. Thanks
