I’m so glad I stumbled across this channel! I’m taking my written for my ppl soon and this will help greatly. This channel is way underrated and deserves more views keep up the great work!
Weather is the hardest thing in learning to fly. I can put the plane right on the number and center line in a soft manner yet, understanding all this weather and knowing every weather symbol in AWS is not easy.
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.
