Hi Tom. Not sure you will read this as you don't seem to be around here anymore, but wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge/methods. Passed my last ATPL exams today (gnav) and you helped a lot. Many Thanks🙏
Hi Cedric! Glad to hear you passed your Gnav exam!! Yeah I took a long break from videos while I was doing other bits of training, but I'm hoping to put some more out soon! Thanks for the support!
Extraordinary videos, very well explained, very good sketch's only one recommendation. The QNH calculated by QFE and not vice versa (QFE is the actual measurement of pressure in the airport and QNH is the reference of this pressure to the mean sea level - MSL)
Hi Tom, your videos are by far the most helpful I've watched, thank you so much I wish you had some filmed course I would definitely pay for it. no brainer. thanks again!
Hi Tom. Thanks for a great vid and excellent explanation. I'm studying for my CPL(H) but your vid just did it for me, out of ALL the info I could find. Keep'em coming, please.
Hi my friend.. excellent work.One extra tip is to do QNH-1013 and not the opposite because when you find negative number it's more easy without drawing to understand that you must subtract.keep going the good work. Greetings from Greece
Heyy there, Leme get straight to the point After watchin ur vid, everything literally became so easier to understand and i think no one can explain any better as u do so im hoping u will still continue to make more videos on navigation and meteorology and other aviation courses....I’d really appreciate it....
This is incredible to hear. I really appreciate the feedback and I’m glad to help! I have more videos planned but probably not until January. Do me a favour? If it helps then tell your friends! If I hit 1000 subscribers I can start weaning some pennies from TH-cam 👍
Nicely explained and very clear diagrams. I am going to follow through with your other videos on this subject and I HOPE that I will understand when to usre each or which to expect from atc. Nice one.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Elisha King I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I have one question. I read in some books, QNE was not standard pressure (1013) but it was the altitude indicated by altimeter with 1013 setting when aircraft is on runway surface.
This is true, I don't know why, but there seems to be a widespread misunderstanding of QNE, especially from pilots. To quote the UK Manual of Air Traffic Services... "During conditions of exceptionally low atmospheric pressure it is not possible to set QFE or QNH on some aircraft altimeters. In these circumstances an aerodrome or runway QNE can be requested. The QNE is the reading in feet on an altimeter with the sub-scale set to 1013.2 hPa when the aircraft is at aerodrome or touchdown elevation." Folks seem to use QNE as the same thing as STD/SPS. It is not. It is used very rarely.
@@ClanLawrenceThanks Laurence. This is useful clarification. Just studying all this for my LAPL licence and there’s a lot of conflicting and confusing info out there
I have one question?when i studied Atpl the definition of qne was absolutely different.QNE was not pressure setting,it was an altitude.It was used for mountains areas where you can set on your sub scale QNH due to limitations (950-1050 hps if i am not mistaken).So Definition of QNE was ,it is an altitude not Flight level, when you set 1013 hps you see on your altimeter current elevation of aredrome where located in mountains areas where elevation is very high
This is a good and carefully structured aviation teaching video. However, language is powerful and I believe that you forgot one crucial detail that is pedagogically not trivial in my opinion: It is vitally important to remind your listeners bluntly that both QNH and QFE are "altimeter settings" (specifically, pressure numbers we put into the Kolsman window). However, and I think this issue causes much confusion for any beginner, QNE is *NOT* a pressure number we input to the Kolsman window. QNE is an ALTITUDE. It is the altitude indicated on the instrument whenever the Kolsman window has been loaded with a very important but arbitrary value. Thus. . . . .QNE is the **Pressure Altitude** (as you mentioned in passing). If we set 29.92 (inches Hg) in the Kolsman window, the altitude shown by our altimeter is Pressure Altitude no matter where we are flying over Earth and no matter the local weather below on Earth or around us locally. Every pilot here in 'Murika must set 29.92 inches Hg in the Kolsman window before climbing above 17,999 feet MSL.
I’m studying for my théorical drone pilot exam out here in France and so far , I have read in my books that it’s 1hpa=28 feet 😂, I watch videos of different explanations about this and most of them state 1 hpa= 30 feet ...
Hi Joel, thanks for your comment! The reason there is some variation is because there is actually no perfect answer. My advice is: if your books say 28', then use that figure. Different exam boards use different figures; I'll try to summarise why: Remember, atmospheric pressure measures the mass of the air above the place where the reading is taken. In standard atmosphere conditions (1013hPa & 15°C @ sea level), 1hPa = 27' at sea level - however, as altitude increases there's less atmosphere above the station taking the recording, meaning the number of feet per hectopascal increases. Even if you stay in ISA conditions, at 10,000' 1hPa = 37', at 20,000' 1hPa = 50', and at 38,000 1hPa = 100'. *Also* changes in air mass temperature will affect what's going on in the air parcel too: Colder air is more dense, warmer air is less dense. Ok. Long answer, I hope that helps. Good luck with your drone exam!
I need a help to make sure that i understood the concept correctly, please help. Example:- Airport elevation- 5600 feet. QNH- 1023 hPA QNE- 1013.25 hPA PA-? [Reference used -1hPA=30 feet] My Answer:- PA= 5600 + ((1013.25 - 1023)*30) 5600 + ((-9.75)*30) 5600 - 292.5 =5307.5 Since PA is the height from QNE (1013.25hPA) we substract or if follow the math, then plus minus = minus. However, if QNH would be less than QNE, then we would have added the calculated feet into the elevation rather substracting. Am i right?
Hey - I'm curious how'd you managed to set your calculator so it shows 2 last calculations stacked one after another. It is quite helpful I guess. Mine shows only 1 calculation with whole lot of space free.
Here is Q.. qnh is equal to 1013 and ELEV is 0 then we have a rare case of 0 PA.. what does that mean from pilot point of view? thanks and lovely video
Hi Andrei, thanks for the question. I guess in that scenario the temperature would also be 15*C, so you’ve got an ISA day (I’ve only actually flown on a day like this once). From a pilot perspective it wouldn’t affect much, other than meaning there would be effectively no altimeter change when flying through the transition layer, and it would mean standard performance out of your aircraft (density altitude would equal pressure altitude and elevation too).
I think I need to point out that the word "Elev" shouldn't be level with the minus sign or else the result would give an erroneous and ridiculous number. That is, the division sign should be the one with the Elev above it. Just saying.

Just excellent. way better than my ground school Instructors. way to go Tom!!

Hi Tom, you are simply wonderful !! thumbs up buddy !
Excellent as always Tom
Hey Tom . Thanks a lot for this video . I am preparing for CPL and this video just saved my life! keep producing such videos...thankyou!
That’s amazing to hear (I assume you mean it saved your life figuratively....!). Good luck with your CPL!! Thanks for leaving supportive feedback :)
Good explanation. Am beginning to understand the subject matter. Thanks. Very helpful

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I need a help to make sure that i understood the concept correctly, please help.
Example:-
Airport elevation- 5600 feet.
QNH- 1023 hPA
QNE- 1013.25 hPA
PA-?
[Reference used -1hPA=30 feet]
My Answer:-
PA=
5600 + ((1013.25 - 1023)*30)
5600 + ((-9.75)*30)
5600 - 292.5
=5307.5
Since PA is the height from QNE (1013.25hPA) we substract or if follow the math, then plus minus = minus.
However, if QNH would be less than QNE, then we would have added the calculated feet into the elevation rather substracting.
Am i right?

What
is the
QNH and the density altitude?
how we can account QNH ?
The way you said altimetery and spontaneously put your hand at the head it showed how much it might have bugged you as its bugging me right now
