Just started playing flight sims. Know absolutely nothing about all of this. It's an absolute foreign language. Doing my best to try and learn. Maybe a super beginner video?
He is the only one starting at the beginning in these beginner stages. I watched like all his vids so far. He didn't just jump in the Air Bus and and started explaining the millions of buttons. Great Channel!
This, and your other videos are so amazing. Please make more and more of these flight plan + fly videos. They’re so good for technical enthusiasts who want to know the right way to do things but can’t justify becoming a real pilot.
Man i got a say. Your explanation is very good. I'm a noob using real flight paths and IFR. I can only use the built-in routes in FS2020 and use the basic autopilot, but i cannot land using ILS. I need a better foundation. And this video was what i was looking for. Thanks a lot. Keep it up with this tutorials, basic stuff to create foundations.
You are totally my hero today. I've been searching all week for something exactly like this. You were clear and understandable, and I learned a lot. Thank you!!
You are a LEGEND. My dad is a GA vfr pilot. So I know I tiny bit, but you are helping out newbies that want to jump right into the deep end. And I love it!
I can´t wait for part 2 - phenomenal tutorial from a great teacher. Keep those great tutorials coming - especially those for us beginners. They are highly appreciated!
Please continue to focus on principles, procedures and modern avionics systems that make flying so compelling to neophyte flight sim fans like me. Going up the steep learning curve with your help is fun and educating. Thank you.
Great video, I love doing stuff and learning stuff like this. I've been a flight simmer for a long time and still learning. One of my main problems is whatever times that the nav log gives me is always quicker than what my timer says
I thank TH-cam for recommending me this one. This made SO much sense, now it´s going to be way easier navigating those VORs. Off to Flightsim I go! No wait, gotta plan that flight first... =P
Really great tutorials. Could you make a tutorial about ATC? explaining why where what and how to do it? I am completely lost on anything to do with ATC as a new simmer. For now I let the AI handle it, but I would like to be able to fully do it myself and understand wtf I'm doing and why! Thanks!
Greeeeeeeaaat master class !!! Thank you for shedding light on this topic ! I had NO CLUE I could do andget so much stuff from Skyvector ! Thank you again !!
OMG I Need part 2!! lol. Another great video of course! This kinda felt like watching a movie, and you see the "to be continued..." screen at the end. (Back to the Future reference)
Fantastic, again. Question though, on longer IFR flights, how to handle a change in the active runway at your arrival airport that occurred mid-flight? That would be helpful to know about. Thanks again for these great instructional videos.
Not trying to be rude here but I’m not sure what he meant when he said rnav means random navigation. I believe RNAV means area navigation. It’s basically gps. In the context of the video he was talking about RNAV approaches which like I said uses a gps satellite (actually multiple but that’s a different story) to calculate your position. There are RNAV/GPS routes also. Although using gps/direct routing is easier, it’s not always fun if you’re trying to learn new things in the sim. That being said, great video, keep up the good work.
The difference between the RNAV and GPS approach is confusing to me. I think the difference (correct me if wrong) is that RNAV can also use VOR, and positional information from navigation systems in the aircraft. The type of systems that are not classed as GPS but are aligned with satellites. Also it can use GPS also. The aircraft navigation system is continually pulling positional information from multiple sources. Whereas a GPS approach only uses GPS. Is this a correct understanding of it?
Stemak west Not exactly. rnav IS gps. This is because there is no such thing as a gps approach. There are only Rnav approaches. When I was talking about multiple satellites I was talking about waas gps and raim gps. These different types have to do with the accuracy of the position report. Going back to your comment on using VORs to help with your position. You could use a VOR intersection to confirm your position, but you don’t need to. You could also try using the direct function of the g1000 system, but as I mentioned in my other comment, some people wouldn’t find it as fun as just using VORs.
ProWithABow231 ... Thanks for this. I think my understanding might have come from outdated equipment as talked about here in the article below. I also recently read something where a person had his GPS or system displaying the source during the RNAV approach, or route, and it switched between VOR and GPS fixes, etc www.flightliteracy.com/traditional-navigation-systems-area-navigation-rnav-and-vor-dme-rnav/
I wish the ATC was better with VFR and especially IFR. The ATC in FS2020 is not even close to realistic. ATC in FS2020 says I am leaving their airspace 400 feet above the ground... in a Class B airport. Riiiiiight. It's also terrible for IFR flights. Overall, it's still a fantastic game. Nice tutorial. P.S. Groton is a great place. I've flown people in and out of there many times.
THANK YOU, this is so awesome and I needed to learn more about SkyVector. I'm from LI myself, Nassau County North Shore LI. New sub, great vid, keep it up!
I love your explanations! Can you please also explain what is the concept of these vector airways / turboprop jetways? When flying IFR, are they mandatory? At which altitude should you fly them? How does the aircraft type influence choices, are there many different airways?
@@happ1meal I'd say Jetways are highways for cars, used for easier ATC control and connects to set waypoints and DEP/APP prodedures - Just my understanding though
I'd really like to see a tutorial on waypoints in the Simulator. I want to be able to take off and land at the same airport, but have an ability to track landmarks for flybys in a scenic flights sense. That's my ideal goal. To fly scenic flights at various locations around Australia (where I live) and make videos about flying to those locations. However, I've not been able to add more than 1 additional waypoint in the flight planner and I can't work out how to add more. The other issue I am having is not being able to add waypoints at specific GPS coordinates. It's always a guess where exactly I want the waypoint. Do you know a way to do this?
Hello there, i have a problem with the a320 this plane is acting really weird for me, ive flown from LROP to LRCK using Simbrief, IDAR1K IDARU M747 DIRAL DIRA3D, using flight plan import and its doing great except at the end when the ATC goes nuts and tells me to maintain 7000 when im like 5nm from the airport and i need to be in the last stages of flight and besides that, the plane refuses to follow the flight plan as instructed during the last 2 checkpoints, really odd tbh, i got to fly it by hand until i catch the ILS then its ok
iplaybose I’ve had this too at multiple airports across Asia (which is where I mainly fly) in multiple different aircraft. I think it’s some problem with the filing of the flight plan and how the game’s ATC understands it, but I’m not 100% sure. I also don’t know how to fix it yet.
I can't see how to use this site in regards to the plates. I wanted to do get Amsterdam's Schiphol airport as my destination but it isn't coming up with a hover to show the approaches.
@Pgatcomb I was trying to replicate this flight path but when you select IFR Low-altitude airways it shoots you way up north to CARLD > KURTY then to KGON. Any idea why they changed that or how you might get some cutstom ones if you wanted to map something different?
in layman's terms, a VOR is an Omnidirectional radio signal used to determine an aircraft's position relative to the station transmitter a TAC is a Terminal Air Chart used for VFR flight over metropolitan areas, it's mainly used in or around Class Bravo Airspace. ILS is an Instrument Landing System, it sends radio waves downrange of the runway threshold at a three-degree angle, it provides aircraft with horizontal and vertical guidance when landing in IFR conditions. hope that helps
i watched these videos talking about how great skyvector is, and it is, but most of the functionality featured in videos on it only ever deal with america, lots of great info on the site but only charts for USA unfortunately!
Hey .. i like your videos a lot but i have a problem with displaying the Instrument Approach Procedures for EBAW. In your video you show them for KGON but i dont see them for EBAW ... What do i wrong? I cant see the procedures so i cant open the special chart for the ILS information
Could you elaborate on the different types of VOR stations? I've tried some in different areas (europe) and I can't seem to get a signal from most of them. For some reason, only some work
Hello, there are some rules to decide which departure and arrival route? I mean, the naming has a specific lettering or a legend do understand? Sometimes I create a flight (IFR) and can't find a decent combination and I try every single setting possible, it shows me some crazy corners and wrong path to fly, totally unnatural, is it a bug or you can't create a realistic ifs route in the game with some airport combination? Thanks. Do I need to use always real map and do correction because game isn't perfect at all?
I watched all 3 videos, so great! Thank you so much! BUTTT Can you do a 4th video on using waypoints and more complicated and longer trips? You can probably get away with skipping some fly time as users will have already watched the previous 3. If you can't, can you offer a direction to go to learn how to use waypoints? Thanks!
@@natephillips6890 this doesn't matter, there must be other charts like ground, parking, etc. for example in my country no airport in skyvector has this list but you can find every chart online.
I thought that even/odd altitudes for E/W was only if you were 3500ft or above? Anything below that altitude I thought was fair game regardless of direction? Or is that only for VFR?
You can just plan for the stopover as the destination airport. in real life, you would need to get IFR clearance to your stopover and destination airport anyways. it just makes things easier.
You can put the flight plan directly into the glass cockpits. Once you've submitted them into the glass cockpit of the plane you're flying, you should have an ATC option to "Request IFR flight plan" or something like that. Clicking that will ask ATC to allow you to do the flight plan you've submitted. They'll respond and give you the OK, with the clearance to wherever "as filed" by which they mean as you've put into the glass cockpit. Obviously, in the real world, this would have been submitted beforehand but you can't do that in the sim.
@@robvalentine6311 Have been wondering this myself. So I can input the Flight Plan directly into the FMC, Request IFR Flight Plan via ATC, and then I should see the route appear via lines in the VFR Map?
I don't know why I am having such a hard time catching on to the autopilot. Its frustrating. Not being critical by any means please don't take it that way what I am about to say. But it seems the video is a little hard for me to see. Especially the small box in the left hand corner. I can hardly see. I can't make out the words.
@@ProWithABow231 Where do I get the information to put it into the FMC all of the different aircraft have different types of auto pilot system. Just so much info slammed at me at once I can't figure it out.
TmanGamingX I believe you use the FMS in larger aircraft to put in GPS waypoints. I don’t have much experience in these larger aircraft so I wouldn’t be able to help you there. Most of the autopilot systems themselves however go off of basic principles: you need to lock in a vertical mode and a horizontal mode. So for example in the da40 auto pilot you would lock in heading mode(for horizontal motion) and FLC mode (for your vertical motion, or your airspeed in the climb). Finally if you pay close attention to every planes auto pilot you will see buttons on all of them saying HDG ALT FLC and VS. if you learn one planes autopilot, some of that knowledge can transfer over.
I'm hoping he meant that he's flying solo, so he's using the combined weight it gave him for both the pilot & co-pilot. If not, he needs more cheeseburgers, less flying!
