preparing for PPL and this video is by far the most understandable and detailed. sometimes is not the material but the person giving it, thank you for the information.
Another purpose of the magenta flags is that they are often found near towered airports and are preferred reporting points upon initial call to ATC. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more videos!
One tiny criticism: please make your cursor LARGER so we can follow what you pointing to. I spent so much energy trying to figure out where you moved the cursor to, I lost a lot of info! That mouse can really fly, and you know where your going, but we don't. Other than that, the effort is much appreciated!
This is an incredible help, thank you! I’m a private pilot in the UK and planning to come to Florida whenever COVID is over to hour build in the sun. Finding simply laid out information about the us charts and radio etc makes the preparation so much easier!
I aced my Part 107 test today and scored 100% thanks to your videos! THANK YOU and I greatly appreciate the time it took for you to make and post this video! :D
I'm study for the Part 107 Remote Pilot and the amount of detail in your videos is overkill for that exam but you make it so damn easy that I just get absorbed in it. Your explanations are by far the best.
2020 - PASSED 97% Unmanned Aircraft Exam (part 107). Huge shout out to Jon w/ FLY8MA. Wealth of knowledge that definitely helped me pass and I would go as far and say these videos are a must watch. THANK YOU - Jon.
I just recently earned my PPL and will be moving to Tampa to attend ATP in June. This really helped me brush up and taught me a few things I didn’t know. Thanks very much!
Jon...I am very happy I watched your video on advanced charts vs. trying to understand the subject matter in a book...Thank you for your very gentle and detailed presentation
Really glad to hear it all helps out! Thanks for watching and be sure to share our new site with your friends on Facebook and around the airport! www.fly8ma.com/
Did my first VOR-based navigation (with years of flying X-Plane and MSFS, now just X-Plane 11) using complicated routes, and STARS and SIDS and the like.. never had done this before but took off from KOXC, Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Connecticut, my home airport, to get to KBDL, intercepted the right radial off the HFD VOR, then used about the 058 radial of the CMK VOR to get up to KBDL, Bradley International Airport , arriving perfectly aligned for Runway 6. (058 magnetic)..;.. it's fun. Don't normally fly props either but think it'd be better to get more experience flying manually rather than being a "child of the magenta" [line] all of the time heh. Anyway yeah. Thank you again for a great vid.
Dude your videos are simply the best. Compared to other CFIs I feel like I learn more when I come here. I can tell you enjoy teaching this stuff! Thank you
Great video. Would just say that maybe making the cursor just a bit bigger, got lost a couple of times where the cursor was but great knowledge. Thanks
Always learn somthing from your videos. My home airport is Punta Gorda, so it is exceptionally helpful. Love flights up to Venice and lunch at Sharkies.
Nice job. I have watched a few of your videos, your a great teacher! I'm a paramotor pilot in S.E Florida right now but if I ever decide to get my PP license I know where to start!
Anothewr great video, Suggestion when I was watching this video i sometimes found it difficult to see the cursor on a contrasting background. it would be nice if you could change the cursor to a larger size to make it easier to see
THANK YOU MIKE FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO. I AM PREPARING FOR THE CHECK RIDE USING MOST OF YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU MAN. NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!
Question I know you are using one area on the chart while discussing airways. What is T route and who uses it. I am not an IFR pilot. Don't remember any one ever discussing T routes during Sport or Private training. ie T 205, T 211, T 336 SW of Ocala & T 341 extending from Ocala Int'l KOCF
My only difficulty with this video, is that the arrows you are using as pointers, are extremely difficult to follow, especially if you’re using your phone as an instrument to watch these videos.
That is a new thing for me, 30 mins. You are saying each degree is one hour of flight? Wouldn't that depend on how fast you are traveling? Trying to figure out where you are getting this way of saying of map position.
The easiest way to understand this is each latitude is in succession. 81,82,83, etc. With that being said it was slightly to the right of 82 degrees LAT. So it would be 81degrees. As far as 59min. the small hash marks in between the latitudes total up to 60min. Hence 81 degrees 59minutes. The same applies to longitude. Hope this helps. All this is covered in our private pilot ground school. learn.fly8ma.com/courses/premium-private-pilot-ground-school/
Please help cause now I’m confused at 12:27secs you said 81degrees 59mins west please help me. Like I can see what you saying zoomed in but when you zoom out and back in with 59.1 and etc, I get so lost like please explain the “just for fun” in a broken down way! Cause It’s like I get it, but it’s like tongue tie with a brain fart
Trying to learn this, when you point out about the Punta Gorda airport you said it was at about 59 minutes. Is it 60 minutes between a full degree in the lat/long?
Thank you! Hearing people explain things definitely helps out with just reading. You have made some great videos. Trying to learn for the Part 107 test for drones.
Your moving the cursor so rapidly is extremely hard to follow...you know what your talking about ..but for a newbie.. we’re lost ..also your speaking to rapidly...poor presentation

I love how somehow all of his videos are based around the airports I flew to every single day. Wow this is amazing

Jon...I am very happy I watched your video on advanced charts vs. trying to understand the subject matter in a book...Thank you for your very gentle and detailed presentation
You are a legend Capt. I'm not a pilot but I just flying, and all your video sharing are all really good and very informative. Thanks!

Gotta love it over there. Cheers!
Wow. Sectionals are chock full o' arcane stuff. T'anks for the tutorial!
5 minutes into this video I realized you were using the same exact sectional that I have. It's the only one I have also... freaked me out a lot haha
Nice job. I have watched a few of your videos, your a great teacher! I'm a paramotor pilot in S.E Florida right now but if I ever decide to get my PP license I know where to start!
Thanks! Glad they help! Be sure to share us on FB and with your friends around the airport!
Good info…..but the curser is so small it’s like trying to watch a hockey game
Anothewr great video, Suggestion when I was watching this video i sometimes found it difficult to see the cursor on a contrasting background. it would be nice if you could change the cursor to a larger size to make it easier to see
Arhhh Captain You were enjoying the Flight.
THANK YOU MIKE FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO. I AM PREPARING FOR THE CHECK RIDE USING MOST OF YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU MAN. NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!
Excellent work! If you produced a video product going through every chart symbol with this amount of information and examples, I would buy it.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it. Glad I don't fly in FLA. Los Angeles is a piece of cake compared to your area. Be safe.
Can't wait to watch this when I get off work!
Alert Area A-291D is my training area out of Miami Executive Airport.
This is great stuff sir ! Very helpful. My only suggestion if at all possible please reorganize the play list so the videos go in order.
Good information. Well presented. Thanks. Would like to see the pointer a little more prominent.
Glad it helped ya!
Great detailed program! What are the thick white lines that form what appears to be a rectangle? Thanks
Thanks for the vide, I did learn many new things.
Sure thing.. Always happy to help!
Excellent commentary sir...one of the best i have seen...
Glad it helps! Let us know what topics you'd like next!
why you mixing up the longitude and latitude ?

Screw the Turkey Pt canals. Haha. Thanks for the great lesson!
Lol couldn't find them, where's that? Google pulled up Sanibel.
Isn’t there anyway to use a red oversized curser arrow for these videos?!
We'll check it out!
That is a new thing for me, 30 mins. You are saying each degree is one hour of flight? Wouldn't that depend on how fast you are traveling? Trying to figure out where you are getting this way of saying of map position.
Love the videos, but you gotta do something about the audio on your end. Maybe a higher end mic? The audio is so sharp and piercing I can’t listen.
Sir, l can not identify the instructions very closely on , perhaps l must watch over and over right now
Thanks for the videos; they are very helpful. Where did you get your digital nation-wide sectional chart.
skyvector.com
thank you lot of great information.
Glad it helps! Safe flying!
thank you for the great video
No Prob! Fair winds and blue skies!
Like I just don’t see 81degrees and 59mins north please help with with another video!!
The easiest way to understand this is each latitude is in succession. 81,82,83, etc. With that being said it was slightly to the right of 82 degrees LAT. So it would be 81degrees. As far as 59min. the small hash marks in between the latitudes total up to 60min. Hence 81 degrees 59minutes. The same applies to longitude. Hope this helps. All this is covered in our private pilot ground school. learn.fly8ma.com/courses/premium-private-pilot-ground-school/
What is the shallow red line? The one that’s very similar to the victor airways line but in red?
Please help cause now I’m confused at 12:27secs you said 81degrees 59mins west please help me. Like I can see what you saying zoomed in but when you zoom out and back in with 59.1 and etc, I get so lost like please explain the “just for fun” in a broken down way! Cause It’s like I get it, but it’s like tongue tie with a brain fart
Needs a much larger mouse pointer or highlighter

As of Jan 2020 HIWAS no longer exists.
Thanks John
Sure thing! Glad it helps!
@@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 good to hear John, safe flight

Trying to learn this, when you point out about the Punta Gorda airport you said it was at about 59 minutes. Is it 60 minutes between a full degree in the lat/long?
Yes 60 minutes to a degree and of course then 60 seconds in each "minute"
Thank you! Hearing people explain things definitely helps out with just reading. You have made some great videos. Trying to learn for the Part 107 test for drones.
How important is the use of Victor Airways in the age of GPS systems?
About 10% for VFR flying and 20-40% for IFR flying depending on your location.
FLY8MA.com Flight Training thank you. Your videos are very helpful.
Jon...Now I know the secret...I know what really happen to your SAILING YACHT...You hit those Rocks around Biscayne National Park...(:
Too soon :)
FLY8MA.com Flight Training - From Control Panel go to Ease of Access, then Mouse, then 'Extra Large White'. Otherwise, there is no hope.
How long have you been a CFI?
Part time for a little over 2 years now.
I love your vids..........but all of them reference your part of the country. All of us aren't in Florida
I meant you're, not your. Sorry!
In terms of topography that is the most boring chart I have seen. I live in Arizona, 20 miles from the Grand Canyon.
nice...but mono tone makes you go to sleep unfortunately
Your use of that tiny white arrow is extremely frustrating and hard to follow on the map. Please use a larger arrow.
Why say 81.5 or 27.5 instead of just saying 81° West, 30 minutes. I understand it, but it makes it confusing. Just use correct terminology.
its still confusing to me, I think ill just give up
Your cursor is too small!
Hard to follow your tiny pointer
Your moving the cursor so rapidly is extremely hard to follow...you know what your talking about ..but for a newbie.. we’re lost ..also your speaking to rapidly...poor presentation
I wouldn't call this advanced knowledge
User name checks out
Pictures out of focus zooming in and out...fix presentation...
