- How does the heading indicator work? This device, which is also known as a directional gyro is one of the six primary flight instruments in an airplane.
This video will help you learn everything you need to know about it for you FAA written exam, and you oral exam for you checkride. This is all information that you will need to know to become a pilot. This information will help you study for the Private Pilot written exam and the oral exam for your check ride. This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

I am a student pilot and am subscribed to about a dozen other pilot TH-cam channels. You provide some of the best content in an easy to understand way. Thank you!!
Thank you Brian! That is so motivating when I read comments like this!
Same here
I was going to say the same thing. He gets right to the point and keeps it interesting. No strange hangups, sob stories or whatever these others throw in there..
X2
THIS IS GREAT. Thank you.
Not a pilot, just a regular dude with a keen internet in aviation.
But finally someone who broke down the Gyroscope perfectly …. & the analogy with the bike was awesome!
Finally my brain could understand the concept. Thank you!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Clear concise content that's to the point. An excellent primer/refresher.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Helpful, informative, and useful. Thank you. 😊
You’re welcome!
Your videos helped me understand SO MUCH when I was training for my PPL and now i’m about to take my instrument checkride and find myself coming back to your videos as refreshers on instruments cause you make things SO SIMPLE to understand!!
Awesome! That you so much! That means a lot!
Super Helpful. Thanks
No problem! Thanks for watching
how to actually read it?
😀 wonderful content!!
Thanks!
Excellent
Thank you!
Great video but I think the bicycle example you gave is a little bit misleading. Because on a bicycle stability While moving comes because the pilot is able to counter steer and make corrections with the handlebars. A more accurate example of how gyroscopic principles work such as rotational inertia would be a top or coin spinning. The top stands up as long as it is spending but falls over when it stops.
Thanks! Yeah, I’m by no means a physics expert, but according to Cornell university, a bicycle does use gyroscopic procession to balance itself. That’s one of the reasons why you can stay upright without using handle bars. This is an interesting read: ezramagazine.cornell.edu/summer11/researchspotlight.html. It made sense to me, so I ran with it
Oh yeah it's definitely part of it. But not Quite as obvious as the top example Which has no other means of input
Got my sub, sir! Phenomenal content! Would love to fly with you one day!
Awesome! Welcome! I’m always on the hunt for people to fly with
Awesome! "stalled" in my MSFS pilot training by skipping ground school. Don't worry, not planning to ever fly real world. Your videos are soooo helpful for the pseudopilot wannabees. TY
Cool! I actually just bought a MSFS setup myself. I think it will make a nice addition to my videos
these are great videos ! keep up the great work
Thanks Robert! I appreciate that
Thanks from Brazil!!!!!
You’re welcome!
5:03 so if I hover in a heli 12 hours I'd get to the other side of the world?
Lol
On our world, the northern circle, magnetic north, is the centre. Fly Santiago to perth and use a standard compass vs a phone compass on the plane flight, will they be different.. the iphone compass is GPS (guessing), which is owned by nasa. Interesting experiment.
I’ve noticed that. GPS gives you a vector, not a heading
@@FreePilotTraining I see. So I should not go off a phone compass but maybe a real compass, it might be more “true”…
This is such a great rusty pilot review!
Thanks!
At 5:45, how does the AAHRS resolve the precession problem?
It doesn’t use a gyroscope
I wish you did formal online ground school!
Technically, this counts. I am a CFI, you’ll just have to have your CFI sign you off for the written exam. Eventually, I do plan on creating an online course with questions and reading to supplement these videos
@@FreePilotTraining Wow, that's awesome. I am almost done with Sporty's. While their production is good, your vids are SO much better. My engagement, understanding, and retention are much better after yours. Not to mention, they are entertaining. Thanks for putting them out!
@@rkindervater thank you so much! That means a lot! I’ve noticed that I retain things better when I understand “why” that is what I try to shoot for in these videos
Josh, are you still training students
where can one find your contact info to sign up for the course
I’m on a brief break at the moment as I’m on a small trip with the military. I’m going to be moving soon after I get back, so as soon as I get moved, I’m wanting to start taking on more students
Needed this for my flight simulator to work out auto pilot thank you
Awesome! I’ve got quit a few simmers on here
Great explanation, except I didn’t quite grasp the concept of why the magnetic compass displays backwards. What did you mean, “because the airplane is outside of the compass”?
Thanks Pete! When you look at a traditional hand held compass, the needle is on the inside of the compass card. This needle represents you when you’re trying to find the direction. When you look at the magnetic compass in an aircraft, you are outside of the compass looking at the outer ring of the compass card, and because of this, when you make a turn, the compass turns backwards from your perspective. Hope this helps!
@@FreePilotTraining I get it, thanks so much, that really helps 🙂
@@peteallennh no problem
Thanks!
No problem!
Beautifully explained! Wow
Thanks!
Guess how many instruments are required for Experimental Aircraft? If you guessed zero, you would be correct. FAR 91.205 list the required instruments for Standard category U.S. airworthiness certificates. I know…..it’s bizarre but Experimental is not a Standard category. Having said this, what pilot in their right mind would climb into the wild blue yonder without at least and oil pressure indicator. Wind in the face and visual might get you by. No one builds an aircraft without minimal instruments and the FAA does not inspect an Experimental for airworthiness only to make sure the collection of parts you claim will fly was built to minimum standards. So now you know.
I actually had no idea about that! I plan on getting into the experimental world very soon, but I totally agree, there are some basic stuff I’m not flying without! Thanks for the comment!
@@FreePilotTraining If you really dig into the regs, what I said really only applies to daytime VFR. Regulations require the full package for night flight. ELTs are required for fixed wing two passenger but Gyroplanes are exempt for some odd reason. I enjoyed your vids. Wish I had something like what you do in the 80s. All we had was Sportys Pilot shop videos.
@@crawford323 ok, that’s cool! I will hopefully get more well versed in all this very soon! Thank you! I started this channel because I was looking for a place to send my students where they could self study for free, and I just couldn’t find anything I liked
@@FreePilotTraining I certainly appreciate and enjoy your videos. It is a special person who is excited by knowledge and wants to share it.
@@crawford323 thanks man!
WAIT WAIT WAIT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT "SEE YA" FROM????? DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MILITARY AND AFRICA?
Yeah, Some Air Force Pilots think it’s funny to say on the radio. I don’t usually do it in the C-130, but I thought it would be funny in my videos
Aviation is truly fascinating
Yes it is
Too many explanation
Wrong. Gyroscopic forces are not what keeps a. bicycle stable. Not even close. The steering forces provided by the rider or by the forks turning due to gravity as the bike flops over is what keeps the bike upright and these are more effective the faster the bike travels. Also, that animated hand holding the pen effect is super irritating to watch.
Thanks for the comment. I’m sure the steering forces play a big part, but I can ride a bike with no handle bars so they do play a part more than you think. According to Cornell university and I quote: “The accepted view: Bicycles are stable because of the gyroscopic effect of the spinning front wheel or because the front wheel "trails" behind the steering axis, or both.” Are you a physics expert? If not, I would appreciate you allowing Certified instructors to teach students commonly accepted principles.
@@FreePilotTraining You can but it has absolutely nothing to do with gyroscopic forces.
@@thesushifiend Try and ride a bike with no wheels. Make a bike with frictionless infinitely thin surfaces. Say a piece of teflon on a teflon ramp. Attempt to ride that downhill and keep it upright. You'll have one hard time.
@@joblessalex my suggestion would be some skates on an ice surface because sideways resistance is necessary to stear. replace the wheels with skates an that will show
@@FreePilotTraining if gyroscopic effects held the byke upright it would also resist more to steering at higher speeds which it does not.
Helpful 👍🫂
Thanks!
