Thanks for the kind words. Best of luck!

Thanks for the comment. Will rework when time permits

I hear you. There's still times I have to pull out the decoding guide myself. Maybe have a screenshot handy? The more you see it, the more it'll make sense. Thanks for the comment.

@@PrivatePilotGroundSchool I just failed my checkride because I was not allowed the decoding guide and missed a weather question. This DPE fails students if they miss even one weather question. While the FAA states that the oral is an open book exam, this DPE would not allow me to use my FAR-AIM or ACS for any questions. I answered all my other questions with out having to reference the FAR-AIM but when he got to the weather section. It became very difficult. I read the Metar and TAF's correctly, fronts, basic weather stuff. Than he went to the observation page on the AWS and wanted me to know most of all the symbols. He would not let me use the legend. Well I did not do well on that. I am toast and struggled. Then he goes on to Thunderstorms. After asking me the questions about how a thunderstorm develops and what the three stages are, He asked me what causes lightening in the mature stage. I stated clouds hitting each with the drafts up and down and turbulence. He took that "no" for an answer, I then stated electricity and was grasping for straws. The DPE wanted me to state "Severe up and down drafts is charging the particles along with some other verbiage that I do not understand. Then he asked about the different types of Airmets. I was answering what Airmet Sierra was, I stated - Mountain obscuration - clouds covering and over a mountain. The DPE did not accept that answer and gave me a disapproval. Weather is just so hard. The weather theory in this video is not detailed enough to pass a check-ride. There is more deep down theory you must know in order to pass a Private Pilot check-ride according to my terrible check-ride experience.

Thank you so much for the kind words

Thank you for the kind words

Thanks! Glad you liked them. Hopefully they help you remember all the nuances.

Thanks! Glad to hear it

Thanks!

Hope it's still relevant a few years later

Thanks for pointing that out! You'd be surprised how easy it is to mis-speak something when there's a lot of info in a few sentences. Good catch.

Good catch. Thanks

I certainly will. It might take me a while, but I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

Hey, if it helps somebody, that's a win in my book. Glad to see it's useful. Thanks for the kind words.

Congrats! Hope it works well for you. If you're doing a flight school program or even a complex endorsement, the gear and prop are required to be taught. I'm fairly certain you'll look like a genius knowing what you know about the prop and can also learn about the gear in the process. I don't have any videos on the hydraulics of the gear, because you usually don't see that until your commercial flight training (fixed gear planes are cheaper)... Sorry

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks!

Sorry to hear that.

@PrivatePilotGroundSchool You have several viewers make the same comment. There's no need for the library stock music loop in the background that actually overpowers the commentary, is distracted, and is not needed. It's not adding any value. Can you remove the music. It's easy!

That's the plan at some point. Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the vote of confidence! As long as it explained what it was trying to, that's a winner in my book. Glad you liked it.

Sorry! I should really tell the elves next door to quit playing their jigs when I'm recording. 😒

Thanks for the kind words. You can use this playlist th-cam.com/play/PLcJ53UyRbk17W5BUrnjCsoxibkJXXc727.html&si=6NyDoE6x0IdjbtPB. It should lay down some building blocks to get going. Unfortunately, a lot of the things interconnect and it's hard to separate them into individual subjects. I would recommend watching the video, then doing the practice test associated with it (link in description), and seeing how well you understand the material. As good as the videos may seem they're not all-encompassing or they would be hours long. You should read the Airplane Flying Handbook and Pilot Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge as well. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Good to hear you got something out of it.

That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I could change it, but it's kinda set in stone....

Glad to hear it!

Thanks for the link Gary. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear it's helping you learn.

Thanks Nick.

It sounds like you would enjoy The Secret World of Weather by Tristan Gooley. Thanks for so eloquently describing this massive swirl of air and water we call weather.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks

Yay! That's always the goal. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the comment. Wish I knew at the time that was the case. Too late to turn the volume down now....

I wish you gave me that advice back when I started 🤣. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.

You're welcome. Did you learn anything?

Thanks.

That took a while to find...a timestamp would be appreciated next time 😉. You're cruising at 5,500ft in the example. Based on a standard temperature lapse rate (2°C per 1,000ft), the temp is supposed to be +4°C [sea level at 15°]. The winds aloft show +17°C. It is 13°C warmer than standard at our altitude. The performance note (#3) says to "Increase time, fuel and distance by 10% for each 10°C above standard temperature". Our 13°C is 10% + 3%, or 13% above standard. Hope that helped.

Thank you much and yeah, I should've given you a timestamp 😅. Sorry about that, but yes, it did help, a lot! Really appreciate this video.

I wish it was that easy. I'd have to re-upload the whole video. Glad you enjoyed the content

Hahaha! That's the best response yet. Glad it helped.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like the content.

I mean, theoretically yes. I'd have to go in and type up everything in PowerPoint from the video. If you're trying to become a CFI (or just learn the material) , this is something you should do yourself. Trust me, you'll remember more and actually have neural connections that last decades rather than clicking through someone else's presentation. Not saying I can't do it, but the process is the same for me as for you. If you'd like to learn this, do it yourself. Otherwise, give me a reason to put in hours of free time into making a PowerPoint. Not trying to be mean, just realistic. Hope that answers the question?

I was just wondering if you already have it as a PowerPoint. I wanted to pass it around my training center and for students to be able to make notes on each slide as they follow your video

Gotcha. If I type one up, I'll send you a link

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Hope you learned something.

You're welcome 😊

You're the OG fan, what can I say?

Hey Jose

Constant-speed props work on engines with hollow crankshafts. That's how you get the oil in there. Really good question. Fun fact: if your engine has a solid crank, trying to switch from fixed-pitch to a constant-speed prop won't work.

@@PrivatePilotGroundSchool Check! Thanx for the quick reply. Keep up the good work ... ^v^

I can sure give it a shot. Thank you for the request. A short explanation is like a balloon with a hole in it. You pump more air in but control how much leaks out through the hole. That's how you maintain a certain pressure. But I will make a video on this in the future. Thank you.
