Oh, thank you very much for taking the time to say so. I spent a very long time producing this one and, being on a relatively niche subject compared with what I usually do, it's had relatively few views and comments like this make it all feel worthwhile. 🙂
I confess, I am already quite comfortable following SIDs and STARs and the charts all make sense to me - but I do always think I would find it hard to actually explain them to somebody else! Now I know what I will do -- I'll simply send them here! It's a great overview and very well explained. Bravo, well done sir.
Nicely done. One thing on the NEXEN departures not mentioned in the video is the note below the NameID: (Jets Only). This procedure is not for propeller aircrafts. On VATSIM I've often seen pilots filing NEXEN departures using a turboprop or vice versa - filing a prop deprture when flying a jet.
Thanks so much for making this tutorial and explaining the SIDS, STARS, approaches and transitions. I could never find all the pieces of the puzzle, but this seems to nail it. All of your videos are fantastic, and I've subscribed.
My pleasure! Glad you found it useful. I spent longer on this video than any of my others yet it's one of my least viewed, so it's always nice to hear it's proven useful 🙂
Expertly done, very succinct and straightforward, a welcome tutorial for us desktop fliers! Thank you FYI I use SimPlates by Dauntless Aviation for charts. John
Great Video. One question: If the altitude constraint is touched to a leg instead of a waypoint (see 20:00 in the video), at what point do I have to be on that altitude. Before the leg starts or while I'm on the leg?
I enjoy your airport reviews and as a result I own 8 airports after watching your reviews. Could you review Aerosoft Greater Moncton. I was born in New Brunswick so keen on seeing this airport..
Glad you're enjoying the reviews. I've got to be honest, I've got quite a big backlog to get through and not enough hours in the day, so I'm not sure I'll be able to do Greater Moncton. I'm having to be quite selective - I'm focussing on big airports that I know will have a broad appeal, and throwing in a few from smaller developers that I think are good and which people might not otherwise discover. But will try! :-)
Really useful and clear tutorial - thanks. One question on the speeds indicated in the charts - for the glide slope calculation it uses ground speed, but when there is a maximum speed in the approach charts for example I presume that is air speed? Is that correct?
This was great! One of the questions I always have is "how do you know which STARs and SIDS to use?" Is this mainly based of weather/wind direction? Might seem like a silly question but I've always wondered how do you pick the runways and whatnot. :)
So the choice of runway is almost always weather dependent. You'll almost always take off and land into the wind, unless the wind speed is very slow or the airport has a preferential runway system. The choice of SID is dependent on your initial flight plan waypoint & the runway you'll be taking off from. The choice of STAR is dependent on your final flight plan waypoint and SOMTIMES the runway you'll be landing on. Certain STARs are specific to a single runway, others can be used for multiple runways.
@@FilbertFlies Awesome! Thanks for the info and kind of what I was thinking. I just found your channel and subscribed and really liking your videos thus far.

One of the best tutorials on reading SIds and Stars I feel. Erudite, full of clear and lucid explanations. Thank you so much Filbert

Thank you! Of all my videos, this was the hardest to do and one of the least popular, but I'm pleased with it. 🙂
Very hard to follow, but absolutely necessary to understand modern aviation. Keep it up, much needed.
Absolutely first class presentation. Very informative and extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Liked and subscribed
Beautifully done. Thank you for taking the time to deliver this in such a clear manner!
Brilliant tutorial Filbert- very in depth! And when I thought I was pretty clued up, I still managed to learn a lot!! Thank you very much👍
Excellent, I'm really pleased you found it helpful. Thanks for the feedback. :-)

Thank you for this, very clearly presented, it will certainly help me understand the huge amount of info shown on these charts
Fantastic tutorial. This complimented my new Navi-graph subscription so much....thank you so much.
Pleasure 🙂
Thankyou. I am not IFR rated. But extremley helpful tutuorial. You clarified the workings quite nicely for me.
Thank you for posting this - really helpful 👍😊
Pleasure - I'm glad you've found it useful 🙂
Studying this SID,'s with the exelent explanation is very interesting.
Just like with the STAR's.
Heard you mention this in the Aspen stream you recently did. Found this incredibly helpful, thanks for the time you took putting this together.
Pleasure, glad you found it useful!

Brilliant, I’m going to have to watch this a few times but very informative 👍
Great presentation. Thanks
Wait, you're supposed to use charts when you fly? Hehehe..
Very informative and cleared up a couple things I have been confused about.
Expertly done, very succinct and straightforward, a welcome tutorial for us desktop fliers! Thank you

My pleasure and thanks for the feedback. It's always worrying doing a new type of video and it's good to hear that it was straightforward to follow.
This is fantastically done, thankyou!
Well explained starting to make sense.👍
Excellent video! thank you!
This is so userful, thank you!
Helped so much! Thank you!
Ah good! My pleasure. 🙂
Fantastic. Thank you!
Very nice well explained

In america you normally have a transition in the sid how do you know what transition to use
Much appreciated

Yes indeed, the maximum speeds are all IAS. Glad you found it clear and useful.🙂
@@FilbertFlies Thanks for the confirmation
very usefull, thank you!
Btw, do i need a VATSIM account to use Chartfox?
