Great video. I am a pilot but have probably 5 to 6 hours at most in Class D airspace. I flew from my Dad's private airstrip over to Class E airspace and another airport that was Class G airspace. So I have very little experience in Delta airspace. For some reason I can make all the calls to others just fine but when asked to repeat something on the fly, I struggle. I like how you stated you were going to land long to avoid turbulence along with you didn't want to taxi that far either. Thank you again for a very good video.
I'm liking these more demonstrative videos. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed your earlier, more narrative videos too; but these little bite-sized demos are coming at a good time, because I've just started ground school, and will be starting the practical lessons in the spring.
Some military class D will assign a squawk code to VFR traffic. Not that many private VFR pilots would be landing at an airforce base, but in the lower 48 there are areas with tightly packed B, C, D and restricted airspace that make it common to take a shortcut through a class D. It may be capped by a B or C shelf and maybe book-ended by other restricted areas or airports, terrain, or some other reason like weather that makes staying in class E/G and going the long way around into a huge detour that adds 20 or 30 miles or threading some narrow corridor at low altitude over water.
In Lakeland, home of sun n fun, we have a busy class d in between the two bravos of Tampa and Orlando. You’re already in the mode c veil when you take off lol
It's a matter of perspective, I think. I'm going through my training at a class D (KFWS). I'm very comfortable talking to tower and ground. But it's the calls at a non-towered airport than I need to work on. And then we're in the shadow of a big class B (DFW)
Now I want to move to Alaska to take my flight school with you Chris. lol. Some schools offer ground and air training combined but do schools look negatively on you showing up having completed online school & passing the test on your own? Will they still want to test or quiz your knowledge I’d assume? Thanks
Hey Aviators! Thanks for tuning in. Make sure to hit the like button, subscribe, and ring the notification bell.
will you do a video on flying into class bravo.
I just had my first cross country yesterday and am planning a cross country to a class d probably next weekend. Really appreciate your videos!

Chris, Nice job on the video. I'm liking the Tips/Training videos.

Lots of learning points- really appreciate it!
This is great! Thanks for giving the context here. I personally love D airspace flying.

Super helpful as always!

I’m always given one at KFSM where I live. Great video sir!

Excellent video, thank you!
Very nice video. Thanks for creating and sharing.
Excellent presentation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I think you might be my favorite CFI anywhere. Don’t tell my CFI😂
Thanks for the vidoe
Great video! I’m wondering why you fly from the right seat even when not instructing and solo?
Sometimes I just want to.

what iPad version are you using for foreflight?
