I know, right? Perfect speed, no trying to be the next Robin Williams, clear and concise instructions, and everything related to practical understanding of basic principles that are easy to understand. Where the hell was this guy when I was in school?!
I've had these instruments explained to me by my instructor, by at least three different books, and by Sporty's Online Ground School and this video is the best explanation I've ever seen. Thanks guys!
Why is at video 4:41, when you turn the knob clockwise, the needle goes counter-clockwise, isn’t ALT supposed to indicated clockwise when you turn clockwise on the knob ? But in video it show opposite?…
@@reponrepnation3004 No. Imagine the local Mean Sea Level pressure is 30.02"; 1" difference = 1000'. The standard atmosphere which is used in the US above 18,000' is 29.92", and is referred to as FL 180 (to indicate use of the standard datum) In this case the datum zero is 100' above sea level. If you freeze time and instantly turn the knob clockwise to reach 29.92" the pressure indicated in the window will decrease 0.1" and the needle will go anticlockwise by 100'. So if the local pressure is greater than standard, the true altitude is greater than that indicated, and vice versa.
ERAU = Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. They started as a flight school with their roots in the 1920's (still active), but they are a STEM-oriented University with many other degree opportunities other than traditional pilot. Many graduates go on to work in Aviation related industries. Fun fact, JFK learned to fly at Embry-Riddle.
You are talking about bad school. We have additional classes for children (13+) in Russia, children learn all this. Not so beautiful and technologically advanced, on a marker-board, but we give them this information.
What a superb video! This one is really brilliant in terms of explanations to the point, animations and focusing on what's important! You really nailed it, thank you so much for it! ☺️

The ability to show how the diaphragm and air move is critical to understanding as opposed to our wrote memorization from 20+ years ago. Great video from a pilot flying for over 20 years.
This takes me back. Years ago I had to animate an altimeter for the RNZAF, for student pilot training. Being given schematic drawings and being asked to produce a working animation is always a great learning experience, and prompts a lot of research. What's not mentioned is the amazing and minute planetary gearbox that allows the needle to rotate so much relative to the tiny amount of movement generated by the expanding and contracting wafers.

Very informative. It was very good to know airspeed also works WITHOUT fluid unlike I learned in engineering school. Always questioned how leaking issue would be handled in aerobatic flights.

I though of the acronym “CLAPS VAA” to help me remember this. “CL” is calibrated leak and goes with v (vsi), “A” is aneroid wafer and goes with a (altimeter), “PS” is pitot static and goes with a (airspeed). All you have to remember is that the last a is airspeed since it’s the only instrument that uses the pitot tube. Hope that helped!
In 1996 , a maintenance worker of areoperu covered pitot static ports of a 757 with duck tape and forgot to remove it which caused a deadly crash .. no one survived
This is an amazing video. If you ever wanna be a pilot, this will help you better. The school does not teach as this video. I love all the videos that present by ERAU.
How does someone come up with these inventions? This is so cool, yet I can't wrap my head around how someone just comes up with cool inventions like this.
Interesting video, even though I don't fly airplanes. Knowing how those parts operate must also be helpful in any situation where those instruments malfunction. For example if the Pitot tube gets frozen, the airspeed indicator will read zero. So then you can troubleshoot that problem by having the heater turned on the tube.
Perfectly visualized and explained! Great work, thanks a lot. I have a question about the speed indicator though. When the dynamic pressure compensates for the density decrease at higher altitudes what is the difference between indicated and true airspeed then (no wind assumed)? Thanks in advance to anybody that knows the answer!

from a pilot with over 25,000 hrs of flight time.
I never wrote a comment. But the knowledge and the professionalism that you are sharing with us, deserves a big THANK YOU!
more technical and detailed information here than in flight schools.

Jokes aside stunning video - great explanation!
Holy smokes, those are some awesome animations. Great way to visually see how it works.

i really appreciate the animations, so few people will explain the actual inner workings of these instruments

just a ridiculously good video - no one does it better than these guys
4:20 Somebody had to animate that lol
@Jeffrey Simmons oh grow up, it was funny
@@insertnamehere6659 exactly
Somebody GOT to animate that
time stamp makes sense lol
literally if there's a collection of these videos to buy I definitively would. This is the best CBT ever made so far. Take my money!
These videos are some of the most helpful ones of TH-cam, thank you!
Your way of explaining things is phenomenon, thank you.
Definitely the best video I’ve seen explaining pilot instruments.
Much better explained than CFIs. Great video!!

Great video! I'll hug my altimeter anyway...
I'm sure it would appreciate that! It is sensitive, after all.
A wonderful video indeed, you went straight to the point, this is why i love ERAU vids.
This channel is amazing! It is the best I've ever seen. Thanks for all these informative contents
holy sht I understand this a lot faster than when my instructor explained this topic for an hour. Thank you so much

Hands down the best damn TH-cam channel that covers this topic. This is better then ground school it’s self !
This video is genius! Really good explanations and great visuals, thank you so much!
Not a pilot, but I always wondere how these indicators worked without any electronics. Really nice and comprehensive explanation!
this is such a top-tier video. fantastic stuff
4:17 that was totally unexpected and pretty hilarious :-)
Very good explanations & nice animation! :-)

This channel grew a lot since I first saw it, wow!
Great video!! I was having trouble understanding the VSI. Thanks!!
i cant believe this is for free. thank you
Extremely clean video, I took notes following along. Will do the same with your other videos in this playlist, thank you so much !
This video got me through my instrument rating, and now here I am, God willing, a soon to be CFII; watching this video again…
Playlist titled Private Pilot PACE but these are CFI level videos. Great job ERAU!!!
This channel is really amazing
You are right
Great video! I was searching for altimeter videos and this is the best one!
