I want to see a full on, all-inclusive, integrated, and intensive course on flight planning, navigation, AND radio usage ALTOGETHER, using real world examples, maybe using a sim (or not). When I was beginning training, all of those things never got taught "altogether" it seemed...a good structured course would be really useful. And it would need to be of a "paid quality" quality. I would pay dearly for it!
The lesson on the website literally begins by saying "Please do not call it a TAC Chart" and I come to this video and it's the first thing I see🤣 Other than that, great explanation of the TAC!
Yay, the first! Great hint on searching Hydrography legend. Is there a symbol for crocs or other beasties on those mudflats, maybe a 'Here be Dragons'!
Thank you for pointing this out! A VFR corridor is essentially a “hole” that allows VFR traffic to traverse through, but not into, class B areas, and a clearance is NOT required. In fact, you don’t even need 2-way radio communication. Only a select few class B’s actually have these corridors. VFR transition routes take you both through AND into Class B, so those routes do require ATC clearance.
What about a NDB? Where I'm at in Maryland, we have a NDB navigation beacon known as LANDY. It seems to have a strange frequency and is not displayed like a VOR would be. Can this still be used like a VOR? How is it identified on the chart? Its name is labeled but there is no symbol (that I see) for its location. Thanks
Christopher Rhoderick. That strange frequency is the frequency used for your ADF nav Radio. VORs use frequencies like 114.5 for regular nav radios. NDBs have a three number frequency for use with your ADF Radio. Just search around the sectional and look for a bunch of magenta dots arranged in a circular fashion, that's when you know it's an NDB.
From the free course "TAC Charts Please don’t call them TAC Charts (you are literally saying Terminal Area Chart Charts)." Now, how many times in this video does Jon say 'TAC Charts'? LOL
Great addition to my commercial Checkride studying! Thank you Jason 😁

Doing a vfr tomorrow out of Srq in a carbon cub with floats, can't wait
U have fantastic videos. What area do you train. Im in south florida
We're located at KVNC!

I think its the atis, im confused about the read out like altimeter and words like that I would have to write down b4 I leave
Thank you for the video. You are calling a VFR transition route a "corridor" which is confusing because a VFR corridor is not the same thing.

How is a corridor vs transition var route depicted in a sectional?
If I may…Maybe you would consider to re-record this with a more visible cursor ?
I was trying to get on your web sight but it want let me open it up. I was wanting to look at the training videos on the web sight.

Yah, that SFRA around Dca can be intense. I used to fly Bowie to college park
