I'm not even a pilot, but Juan makes me feel like one when I'm listening. He does such an excellent job of bringing together those inside and outside aviation onto his channel. Also, I learn more from reading the comments sections at times than I would reading any books. Such a valuable, valuable channel! Thanls again Juan for your time and effort on this channel!
Hi Juan, retired from AA 2007, don’t miss the sore shoulder from lifting the kit bag over the left seat of the 737 and doing revisions. Enjoy your channel, keep up the good work.
Hey Jason! I followed Juan's advice and hooked up with your page. REALLY, REALLY like the material and the Lindburgh Effect!!! THANK YOU!!! I have also recommended it to a friend who has just begun PPGS!!!!
Thank you so much for your passion, encouragement and taking the time and effort to share with us. Just getting back after a medical bump (literally concussion) and need to refresh. Will use the ground school app. I remember when foreflight came out and was amazed (gps too LOL). Again, thank you sir)
Juan, so informative. For a pilot that started flying in 1960, I just love all the current technology. Spent most of my 60 year flying career all below 10,000 ft. As you can imagine, as technology presented itself, I embraced it all. Keep up the good work!
Many many years ago I was on a Braniff flight when we hit unexpected turbulence. No big deal I was already strapped in. The flight attendant however was rushing with a tray of drinks to get back to the galley so she can strap in about then the plane dropped out from underneath her and she suddenly got about 2 ft taller. She almost hit her head on the overhead. And when she came down she dumped the tray of drinks on the guy sitting next to me. What a change from yesterday to today. Instead of getting upset and calling an attorney, he just laughed it off he got a few vouchers for dry cleaning and all was good. Thankfully no one got hurt. The flight attendant was especially lucky that she fell the way that she did and did not hurt herself. I remember sitting here with the guy next to me just laughing about it. He didn't care if he had soda and booze on his lap and shirt. I'm sure he would just write it off on his taxes if he needed to. But turbulence is something you need to respect as a passenger. Pilots don't flip on that seat belt sign just for giggles. If that sign comes on and you're not wearing your belt like you're supposed to when you're not moving about you need to put it on. If you don't put it on shame on you and if you get hurt that's all on you.
I non-rev'd in one of those fancy cube first class sear a couple of times, the only thing that was opened. You should mention that the Jepp FD Pro app also inverts the colors for night use, and gives pictorial in for about runways, lighting systems, visual aid, etc. Definitely a lot more that would fit in the old 30 lbs Jepp case. I only miss spending time inserting the old yellow revision pages, in the sense that killed a lot of time when aloft. Have a great flight, and safe return home.
Flew into Gimpo airport early of 1984. Left from Seattle and about 3/4 of the way through the flight we were joined by some type of fighter aircraft they stayed with us for an hour or so. The pilot announced we were getting a short escort through part of the flight due to the Russians shooting down Korean Air Lines flight 007.
Spookiest sight since the morning I awoke alone in a 400 man compartment aboard LPH 10 Tripoli, a Marine Btn helicopter carrier, sailing in the South China Sea from Luzon enroute to DaNang, S. Vietnam. Later, I discovered one other Marine who was in my Fireteam. We were two of three who did not get seasick from riding through a typhoon the previous night. The other a Senior Chief who ran the enlisted mess. We ate great.
For the turbulence, RMS stands for "root mean square" it is the 'power' of the turbulence, as opposed to the Peak value or the average value.. For a sine wave the RMS value is 0.707 times the peak value.
Or the peak value divided by the square root of 2. It’s better than mean at describing the overall effective value for a lot of time varying phenomenona.
I did that math but still tells me very little as a pilot...I've done some more research...stby for an update. .2= moderate....now we're getting somewhere....
Me being a millwork and cabinet maker for 45 yrs, and having a love for anything nautical… I looked at the video intro picture and thought…what the heck is Juan doing inside a lighthouse looking down the spiral staircase? Then my second passion slapped me! Lol, now I better watch the video!
Juan - thanks for taking us with you to S.Korea - your vids are great, so much more than just flying airplanes , very educational on weather patterns, the situation in California with fires, drought, then heavy rain , etc... keep up the good work and look forward to your next adventures
Juan, I am a ATP, Com Rotorcraft and hold an A&P and I am hooked on your videos Great Delivery and definitely my favorite channel to follow. I think anyone watching your channel would love to be able to sit down with you to talk shop over a cup of Coffee, Hope to meet you one day. Keep" em" coming! Happy Contrails!
I’m PPL and haven’t been in the air in about 15 years. I try to keep up with the advances in industry tech but I really had no clue how much it as evolved. It literally as if seems as if the entire “sky is on the cloud! I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm, but above all, knowledge! Makes me want to get current and into the big blue again. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
It was interesting to see the improvements brought by technology. The details about turbulence tracking and auto-reporting of encounters was news to me!
Yes indeed.As a passenger only flown in very bad turbulence once over the Atlantic and left me wondering how the hell the Boeing 757/767 didnt fall apart! Aggresive stuff.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! WOW -- NO more Jepps SUITCASES! I (and I am sure others) REALLY appreciate your quick reply to our request on this subject! Will look into Foreflight, and i thnk I'll subscribe to "Finer Points as well. There is a LOT to remember, safety-wise, for tired OLD brains!!!! Again, Thank You, Sir!!!!
The private pilot written exam. That really stirs memories. I'm going to look up the course you recommended and see how much it's changed. Great video!
Studying for my A&P currently and we were talking about how ForeFlight integrated ADSB into small aircraft just this morning. Ironic that you released this video today. Fly safe
Thanks Juan, good stuff! Thanks for the Private Pilot comments. I got my PP, oral and check ride at Kelly AFB Flying Club located at KSAT International in 1968 a few months before being discharged from the USAF in early 1969.
I worked for a major computer company when Jeppesen was still doing paper maps. Also the USGS was one of my accounts. I wrapped a lot of gifts 🎁 with old maps in the day 😉
Times have really changed (and for the better in aviation). I hated to do all those Jepps revisions. I still have a few leather binders from those days. I learned to fly in 1960. There were still a few low freq ranges around. Crystal controlled radios were the hot item instead of the old "coffee crank" radios you had to manually tune. I saw lots of changes during my corporate career: weather and ATC radar, ground proximity warning systems (our company helped develop), RNAV, GPS, data link for messages/clearances, commercial weather and flight planning services (like WSI and others), glass cockpits, flight management systems, simulators with full motion and visual. All of this is pretty common now but it was real "Buck Rogers" stuff when introduced. I'm glad I got to see it. I would be really lost in a modern cockpit now. I'm glad you are taking us along and explaining it well. Happy Landings, sir!
In the 172 I am flying you can connect the ipad with the transponder with bluetooth so it will show the adsb planes on your ipad too. Also you can sync the flight plan between ipad and gps navigator. Saves a lot of time twisting those knonbs to input.
I saw some of the Ipad use before I retired on the Airbus. I wasn't all that wild about it. I did miss being able to have the taxi chart ready so when I pulled off the runway I'd have it right there. As opposed to having to get to the menu on the Ipad to bring it up With one hand on the tiller and the other on the throttles, it's not convenient to pick up the Ipad to view anything. F/O has to do it. And the Ipad is a lot more bulky to view an approach chart on vs. the paper version. The best thing was downloading revisions instead of having to do them manually. I didn't mind the flight bag that much once we went to roller bags.
I cannot imagine the transition from paper binders to EFBs. Having attended school for aviation using an EFB the whole way has spoiled me (although that's the way the industry is going so maybe I'm really just ahead of the curve...)
Back in the day at NASA a co-worker flew missions in a Learjet carrying instrumentation trying to detect clear air turbulence. Sometime back in the 1980's. As I remember none of the equipment would work. Good to hear that progress has been made.
Really cool to see this tech. Glad to see they're making useful stuff. Kind of reminds me of the e-pocrates Palm Pilot app the "early adopter" doctors were using about a decade ago when I did computer repair. 1G is the gravity at the surface, 2G means people feel twice their weight (though it's probably oscillating in turbulence, so 2G rms probably means people are going between being "weightless" and twice their weight)
Hi Juan, I just want to say thank you for your content! I am actually scared to fly...makes me nervous being off the ground, but your videos help me out a lot! Safe travels to you!
I was nervous when I first started flying. But now, counting each leg as a separate flight, I've flown on 85 flights. But videos like Juan's and some of the other aviators on TH-cam make me feel extremely safe. When you realize how professional the pilots are, as well as the air traffic controllers, it makes a huge difference. I've never flown on a private plane yet, but I'd love to ride with Juan in the Mighty Luscombe or the Husky.
I get really bad vertigo over bridges, its a no go, however flying or rather GA flying I don't or didn't have a problem with. Not flown in anything for around 16 years and yes we did some aerobatics on a windy gusty autumnal afternoon. Don't sweat it Misty you'll be more than fine. Its just like been a passenger on a bigger bus with wings.
@@craigdavies4682 Wow that seems so ironic but that's awesome! Thank you for the encouragement! I am flying to Minneapolis in November from California. Not too bad! I think I'll feel more calm about it now.
You mentioned turbulence and how it was different in parts of the aircraft. The short time in the MD-80, the ride up front was like being on the end of the diving board, much different from other aircraft. Even the 727-200 was not that bad. Now, the 747 was a different and more comfortable ride. Enjoy all your posts. Thanks Juan. 👍👍👍. 10-27-21
@@sixstringedthing honestly I miss the queen. The 400, up on the 2nd deck, was quite quiet. Also had one flight on PAL MNL TO LAX that was glass smooth. Like not even a single vibration. Just the sound of muffled wind and the hvac. I've since flown on the 777-300, but it isn't the same. The 777 has a high speed vibration that just rubs me the wrong way.
@@sixstringedthing The “queen of the sky” as you put it was something else. A real gentleman’s airplane. There was a tremendous respect from all concerned that had anything to do with that aircraft.
Does the software anti collision stuff also work at my place of employment. Having a map showing where all the toxic people I work with are on campus at any one time might be a real stress saver. It would be a winner.
Juan i heard you say the other day that some Airline Pilots can make 300k a year, right off the top of my head I thought, god that is so sweet, now at 13min into this video, I'm not so sure any more, there have been many aviators in my family, but I can tell its not for everyone. I enjoy the information in your vids cause I'm kinda into civil infrastructure, falling into it when the shipyard closed. Best returns from the east, clear skies...
Flying into HKG can be fun too esp flying over the water before touch down. But if you have time, HKG is a big airport too and easy to get lost in , the food is great, and when it was running at full capacity before Covid, was always busy. Again if you have time to visit, transportation using either the Metro or one of the bus services or taxis will get you to places like Kowloon and Victoria ...However, I am sure your plans as an FO are different. Anyway, Have Fun!
Great channel Juan. I work as a dispatcher for your carrier and your videos are always spot on. I know you are an FO, but I hope to run across you someday at work.
Great video! Makes me feel much safer as a passenger and would loved to have had the ADSB and an IPAD when GA flying many years ago! Thanks for sharing!
GREAT presentation!! This one is most interesting. I love info on what is happening BEHIND the scenes. I think an I-pad (with good batteries) beats the tar out of all those charts and publications. I also caught the Oscar Brand reference there. I think that one was called "Fighter pilot's lament"!! Segment, there are no bomber pilots in the fray, the automatic pilot's on, he's reading novels in the john!! Loved it!! Oscar Brand's Bawdy songs and barroom ballads, possibly the "Up in the Blue" album. Heard those in the EARLY sixties. Thanks again Juan, for great information and insight.
Sure, it's nice to know where you are in the air and on the tarmac and all...but does the software show you where the best restaurants and shops are in the terminal?? And bathrooms?? These are ALSO important things! ;)
cool. BTW over a decade ago, I was in between IT jobs so was hiring into a boring Security job. One of my assignments was front desk at NAVCANADA Surrey office. It was a real shock that this office had all the En route Air-traffic controllers up stairs. Where is the building locate? Across the street from Costco, 17 miles from YVR. The building was formerly a furniture warehouse. Communications runs from the building to the radar at YVR. The property decided to cut cost and let got the contract for on property security. The cameras and gate are controlled and monitored remotely back east in Navcanada head quarters.
Great job again Juan as an aviation enthusiast from being a young guy; lots of the things in aviation I wondered about year’s ago are becoming a lot clearer keep the great work up cheers 👍👍
Thanks Juan. Really enjoyed the longer version on Patreon too. I’d like to see one of the Apollo astronauts’ reaction to this amazing technology. It’s science fiction come true.
Thanks, that so so helpful as a retired small aircraft pilot things has changed so much for the better but I still fly on x plane on a weekly basis most on 737 thanks again
I took the PP written exam half a century ago in my mid teens, and it was packed with obsolete symbology for 1930's airports. I demand that they continue this practice to equalize the difficulty level! I was furious that due to ignoring that I only passed rather than aced the test. But it would have prepared me to do a forced landing at a defunct airport that had been uncovered by a sandstorm in AZ for example. 😃
I can see pilots developing all kinds of safety ideas and practical ways of using this new software. The biggest danger is those who don't or won't use it right.
We have also went to iPads on the railroad. Our job is no where near as involved as yours, but it’s cool to see some parallels. Also, loved that restored Yamaha your friend has.
@@markthompson8656 your going to love it. The old system was basically Data General and they expected us to keep up with all General orders & notifications that were not released on certain dates, plus any changes to GCOR, ABTH and system special instructions. With the iPad all is done automatically
Hey folks - that empty plane with the 2001 space odyssey music is a great idea ! Who ever else has a chance to do that but Mr. Juan ! Bring it on big buddy ... if that's even possible ? Thanks, Bob - DeBary , Fl.
Your old neighbor, Capt. Jelle, had to turn back to HNL almost halfway when they figured out they didn’t have adequate reserve fuel. We called him “Juan Eighty” at the airport for awhile!
Sad to see the empty 200… but I know what you mean about the turbulence being different at the back, nearly started to feel slightly unwell sitting on the rear most seat in a 200mph tailwind! Safe travels back home!
Wow I really loved it Juan! I have flown many times across the Pacific into Incheon (not as a pilot) and wished I could have seen all that flight data on the seat in front of me. They do have overly simplified maps...too simple...But I want more! I recognize the route over the Aleutions from Boston or NYC or ORD or DFW etc and always enjoyed flying the long distances. So Sad to see an empty 200. Watching Jerry Dyer on Big jet TV at Heathrow shows an increase in air traffic that's really a good sign for the industry. Have fun flying the Big foot 200 with those Trent 7's to Hong Kong. Thanks !
As usual, as a wonderful SME on just about everything Aviation, it's always a pleasure to clean out the Cobwebs & get the latest & greatest technology updates from you presentations. Keep up the great job. Enjoy it very much.
Pretty darn congested seating there. I have a problem with it and the narrow isles....don't seem to friendly if evac is needed. Thanks for the walk through, never been on a wide body yet.
Wow this is the first I've heard of the turbulence prediction tool and especially the automated reporting system from aircraft sensors. This is great news as turbulence pireps are dubious at best. For example, an extreme turbulence pirep from a Cirrus pilot usually means that they spilled a couple drops of their coffee but the area is safe to go through. LOL
While I absolutely adore the new technology, I've never had my sectional or terminal chart overheat or suddenly reboot. Always useful to have a few of the old school tools available for the one time your technology fails.
@@keithwalter1241 - A luxury the typical GA pilot does *not* have. Besides, if you don't use those old school tools to maintain proficiency, you could fail your check ride when the DPE decides your tablet has "failed", as did your Garmin 175 (or similar GPS). Now you have to rely on your sectionals and hope your plotter is still in one piece. You could always whip out your phone and see if ForeFlight is working, but...
Does the iPad GPS work reliably everywhere inside the aircraft? When using my phone GPS in flight mode it only works if it's near a window, as presumably the aircraft's metal body and overhead equipment tend to attenuate the GPS signal in the main cabin. That's why I assume the aircraft GPS antenna is located externally. On the lower deck of a double-decker aircraft I would guess that's much worse, though usually the cockpit will be up top and with raked windows you have a pretty clear path to the sky.
I know that some airlines use the airplane's GPS data for the iPad via the charging cable, so they have it plugged in all the time and the iPad's own GPS isn't even used.
@@lucas_k23 Do you have any idea how the aircraft GPS data is transferred from the aircraft avionics to the IPad via a USB connection? Clearly special hardware / software is involved.
@@slovokia The iPad itself has internal GPS, you need the WIFI + Cellular model in order to get that chip. It locates itself via cellular when on the ground in order to get a good position fix, then goes internal after. You run it in airplane mode once fixed to cancel out other interference.
Being near the window won't necessarily guarantee a stronger GPS signal because of the coatings on the window or imbedded in the window material on some airplanes .. usually newer ones. In the cockpit that is almost guaranteed because the material used to conduct current to heat the window glass blocks the GPS signal frequency.
Can you explain (or have you already) explain the job/schedule/pay differences (pros/cons) between a pilot that flies cargo vs passengers. Thanks. Love the channel and am learning a lot as a new (54 yr old) student pilot.
My iPad for Foreflight does not have an internal GPS. A portable Stratus 2S provided GPS/inertial/ADSB-In to Foreflight originally. Now panel equipment feeds the iPad this data.
JUAN,good advice, When you return, you might be surprised RO see how ORRIVELE RESV, IS, WE IN NOR EAST , also had great flooding, over 6” now high winds, stay safe &well🇺🇸🇰🇷🇨🇳🇺🇸🇺🇸
Excellent, thanks. When an airline in England was the first to start using iPads a senior captain condemned them as a toy and I think he said they should not be allowed in the cockpit. I also remember a few years ago you replied to my comment that there will never be an Apple product on your TH-cam channel. (Maybe you only had the company iPad for work?)
That was a great shot of walking the empty cabin. You should do it like the movie “2001 Space Odyssey” when astronaut Frank Poole was jogging in a circle in the spaceship, and add the soundtrack from the scene to it!
I'm not even a pilot, but Juan makes me feel like one when I'm listening. He does such an excellent job of bringing together those inside and outside aviation onto his channel.

It's awesome seeing you share your "whole baked biscuit" on the aircraft with us... you're still a big kid! Don't ever change
See also "Wan Can Cook" ;-) Cargo Only B-777 Flying.
In my experience most pilots never really grow up... 🤣
When Juan was a kid, he said to his parents: ‘When I grow up, I wanna be a pilot.’ His parents replied: ‘Son, you can’t do both!’ 😊
Thanks for The Ground School App plug Juan! 🙌🙏🏻 We’re stoked to see you’re enjoying the app 👍👍

As usual, a very interesting and informative presentation even for myself, a non-pilot. I would trust flying with you anytime and anywhere.
First time I saw Foreflight in real time was in a Cessna 150 just weeks ago. No matter what you fly it's an amazing tool.
Juan, so informative. For a pilot that started flying in 1960, I just love all the current technology. Spent most of my 60 year flying career all below 10,000 ft. As you can imagine, as technology presented itself, I embraced it all. Keep up the good work!

I was nervous when I first started flying. But now, counting each leg as a separate flight, I've flown on 85 flights. But videos like Juan's and some of the other aviators on TH-cam make me feel extremely safe. When you realize how professional the pilots are, as well as the air traffic controllers, it makes a huge difference. I've never flown on a private plane yet, but I'd love to ride with Juan in the Mighty Luscombe or the Husky.
I get really bad vertigo over bridges, its a no go, however flying or rather GA flying I don't or didn't have a problem with. Not flown in anything for around 16 years and yes we did some aerobatics on a windy gusty autumnal afternoon. Don't sweat it Misty you'll be more than fine. Its just like been a passenger on a bigger bus with wings.
@@craigdavies4682 Wow that seems so ironic but that's awesome! Thank you for the encouragement! I am flying to Minneapolis in November from California. Not too bad! I think I'll feel more calm about it now.
You mentioned turbulence and how it was different in parts of the aircraft. The short time in the MD-80, the ride up front was like being on the end of the diving board, much different from other aircraft. Even the 727-200 was not that bad. Now, the 747 was a different and more comfortable ride. Enjoy all your posts. Thanks Juan. 👍👍👍. 10-27-21
I wonder if this was mostly due to the Queen of the Sky's huge inertia? :)
@@sixstringedthing honestly I miss the queen. The 400, up on the 2nd deck, was quite quiet. Also had one flight on PAL MNL TO LAX that was glass smooth. Like not even a single vibration. Just the sound of muffled wind and the hvac. I've since flown on the 777-300, but it isn't the same. The 777 has a high speed vibration that just rubs me the wrong way.
@@sixstringedthing The “queen of the sky” as you put it was something else. A real gentleman’s airplane. There was a tremendous respect from all concerned that had anything to do with that aircraft.
Juan, thanks for the current technology briefing. You pulled it all together into one video better than I have seen anyone do it.
Does the software anti collision stuff also work at my place of employment. Having a map showing where all the toxic people I work with are on campus at any one time might be a real stress saver. It would be a winner.
I want a version that displays all the “vaccinated” people. I need to stay far away from anyone with such mental illness.

@@davidwebb4904 Did you really have to make it political?
I don’t think vaccine comments are political. Just follow the “science” :). I would be concerned about who is doing the toxic designations.
😄😄🍷
Juan i heard you say the other day that some Airline Pilots can make 300k a year, right off the top of my head I thought, god that is so sweet, now at 13min into this video, I'm not so sure any more, there have been many aviators in my family, but I can tell its not for everyone. I enjoy the information in your vids cause I'm kinda into civil infrastructure, falling into it when the shipyard closed. Best returns from the east, clear skies...
Flying into HKG can be fun too esp flying over the water before touch down. But if you have time, HKG is a big airport too and easy to get lost in , the food is great, and when it was running at full capacity before Covid, was always busy. Again if you have time to visit, transportation using either the Metro or one of the bus services or taxis will get you to places like Kowloon and Victoria ...However, I am sure your plans as an FO are different. Anyway, Have Fun!
Great channel Juan. I work as a dispatcher for your carrier and your videos are always spot on. I know you are an FO, but I hope to run across you someday at work.
Great video! Makes me feel much safer as a passenger and would loved to have had the ADSB and an IPAD when GA flying many years ago! Thanks for sharing!
GREAT presentation!! This one is most interesting. I love info on what is happening BEHIND the scenes. I think an I-pad (with good batteries) beats the tar out of all those charts and publications. I also caught the Oscar Brand reference there. I think that one was called "Fighter pilot's lament"!! Segment, there are no bomber pilots in the fray, the automatic pilot's on, he's reading novels in the john!! Loved it!! Oscar Brand's Bawdy songs and barroom ballads, possibly the "Up in the Blue" album. Heard those in the EARLY sixties. Thanks again Juan, for great information and insight.
That taxi system (follow the green lights) at Incheon is simply amazing! Do you know if that’s in use at other airports?
Sure, it's nice to know where you are in the air and on the tarmac and all...but does the software show you where the best restaurants and shops are in the terminal?? And bathrooms?? These are ALSO important things! ;)
Google maps! Works great inside the airport.
cool. BTW over a decade ago, I was in between IT jobs so was hiring into a boring Security job. One of my assignments was front desk at NAVCANADA Surrey office. It was a real shock that this office had all the En route Air-traffic controllers up stairs. Where is the building locate? Across the street from Costco, 17 miles from YVR. The building was formerly a furniture warehouse. Communications runs from the building to the radar at YVR. The property decided to cut cost and let got the contract for on property security. The cameras and gate are controlled and monitored remotely back east in Navcanada head quarters.
Great job again Juan as an aviation enthusiast from being a young guy; lots of the things in aviation I wondered about year’s ago are becoming a lot clearer keep the great work up cheers 👍👍
Juan, You're living my dream. Thank you for the videos!
Nice view through the Fan Duct looking forward.
Once you go Freight you don't ever want to go back ! Fantastic channel 🙂.
Man, what a change from just last century. Thanks Juan.
Thanks Juan. Really enjoyed the longer version on Patreon too. I’d like to see one of the Apollo astronauts’ reaction to this amazing technology. It’s science fiction come true.
Thanks, that so so helpful as a retired small aircraft pilot things has changed so much for the better but I still fly on x plane on a weekly basis most on 737 thanks again
I took the PP written exam half a century ago in my mid teens, and it was packed with obsolete symbology for 1930's airports. I demand that they continue this practice to equalize the difficulty level! I was furious that due to ignoring that I only passed rather than aced the test. But it would have prepared me to do a forced landing at a defunct airport that had been uncovered by a sandstorm in AZ for example. 😃
I love this inside info on the airlines, very cool. Another GREAT Video from Juan. I'm going to check out some of those software apps.
Thanks Juan. Wish we had that turbulence plot tool at Endeavor.
What incredible technology!! Thanks for the presentation!
Ferry flights were some of my favorites
Wow! You were walking so far back in the airplane, that I thought YOU WERE WALKING IN THE AIRPORT CORRIDOR! 😆💅🏾💯
Love your videos Juan.
So tell us the pilot's definition of difference in turbulence forward and aft please.
'Follow the green lights' has been available at LHR for at least 3 decades.
It would be good if more major airports incorporated this feature.
This whole app thing, it's seriously like 15 years old from its earliest beginnings. I can't imagine what we'll see down the road.
Juan is very factual with his dissertation... a good channel to follow ...
facts = demonized
Near the front of a FAR/AIM book is listed the required study of each part, listed by rating sought.
Thank you Captain! I’m going to check Fore flight for my iPad👨✈️
We use the same at WN. Wifi connectivity however for the crew is sometimes spotty.
Yep, same here.
Always learning on this channel...and loving it. :)
I can see pilots developing all kinds of safety ideas and practical ways of using this new software. The biggest danger is those who don't or won't use it right.
I can always count on your videos to be informative and educational. Safe travels Juan.✈️
We have also went to iPads on the railroad. Our job is no where near as involved as yours, but it’s cool to see some parallels. Also, loved that restored Yamaha your friend has.
I'm an A&P mechanic for an airline and next spring we are going to get iPads for all our maintenance manuals to carry with us!
@@markthompson8656 your going to love it. The old system was basically Data General and they expected us to keep up with all General orders & notifications that were not released on certain dates, plus any changes to GCOR, ABTH and system special instructions. With the iPad all is done automatically
Hey folks - that empty plane with the 2001 space odyssey music is a great idea ! Who ever else has a chance to do that but Mr. Juan !
Bring it on big buddy ... if that's even possible ? Thanks, Bob - DeBary , Fl.
I haven’t flown in over 15 years. Planes have changed a bit, that plane looked pretty nice. The first class seats were unreal.
I really like the weather app you talked about!!
Your old neighbor, Capt. Jelle, had to turn back to HNL almost halfway when they figured out they didn’t have adequate reserve fuel. We called him “Juan Eighty” at the airport for awhile!
The iPad mini was a great tool, liked it more than the big ones. Took a while to get to that level great situational awareness.
Thank you so much for bringing us along!
Sad to see the empty 200… but I know what you mean about the turbulence being different at the back, nearly started to feel slightly unwell sitting on the rear most seat in a 200mph tailwind! Safe travels back home!
Wow I really loved it Juan! I have flown many times across the Pacific into Incheon (not as a pilot) and wished I could have seen all that flight data on the seat in front of me. They do have overly simplified maps...too simple...But I want more! I recognize the route over the Aleutions from Boston or NYC or ORD or DFW etc and always enjoyed flying the long distances. So Sad to see an empty 200. Watching Jerry Dyer on Big jet TV at Heathrow shows an increase in air traffic that's really a good sign for the industry. Have fun flying the Big foot 200 with those Trent 7's to Hong Kong. Thanks !
Hey Juan, back in the saddle, u look stocked! Thanks 😊
As usual, as a wonderful SME on just about everything Aviation, it's always a pleasure to clean out the Cobwebs & get the latest & greatest technology updates from you presentations. Keep up the great job. Enjoy it very much.
Pretty darn congested seating there. I have a problem with it and the narrow isles....don't seem to friendly if evac is needed. Thanks for the walk through, never been on a wide body yet.
Wow this is the first I've heard of the turbulence prediction tool and especially the automated reporting system from aircraft sensors. This is great news as turbulence pireps are dubious at best. For example, an extreme turbulence pirep from a Cirrus pilot usually means that they spilled a couple drops of their coffee but the area is safe to go through. LOL
Just what I requested. Thanks, Juan!
How to reduce turbulence injuries: never leave your seatbelt unfastened. Just loosen enough to be comfortable.
While I absolutely adore the new technology, I've never had my sectional or terminal chart overheat or suddenly reboot. Always useful to have a few of the old school tools available for the one time your technology fails.
Keep in mind that they have four pilots on board those long flights, and they each have one of the I-pads, so they have Quadruple redundancy. :)
@@keithwalter1241 - A luxury the typical GA pilot does *not* have.
Besides, if you don't use those old school tools to maintain proficiency, you could fail your check ride when the DPE decides your tablet has "failed", as did your Garmin 175 (or similar GPS). Now you have to rely on your sectionals and hope your plotter is still in one piece. You could always whip out your phone and see if ForeFlight is working, but...
Does the iPad GPS work reliably everywhere inside the aircraft? When using my phone GPS in flight mode it only works if it's near a window, as presumably the aircraft's metal body and overhead equipment tend to attenuate the GPS signal in the main cabin. That's why I assume the aircraft GPS antenna is located externally. On the lower deck of a double-decker aircraft I would guess that's much worse, though usually the cockpit will be up top and with raked windows you have a pretty clear path to the sky.
I know that some airlines use the airplane's GPS data for the iPad via the charging cable, so they have it plugged in all the time and the iPad's own GPS isn't even used.
@@lucas_k23 Do you have any idea how the aircraft GPS data is transferred from the aircraft avionics to the IPad via a USB connection? Clearly special hardware / software is involved.
On the 787 the gps on Jepp app doesn’t work apparently because the cockpit is a faraday cage. WSI does seem to work though
@@slovokia
The iPad itself has internal GPS, you need the WIFI + Cellular model in order to get that chip. It locates itself via cellular when on the ground in order to get a good position fix, then goes internal after. You run it in airplane mode once fixed to cancel out other interference.
Being near the window won't necessarily guarantee a stronger GPS signal because of the coatings on the window or imbedded in the window material on some airplanes .. usually newer ones. In the cockpit that is almost guaranteed because the material used to conduct current to heat the window glass blocks the GPS signal frequency.
Can you explain (or have you already) explain the job/schedule/pay differences (pros/cons) between a pilot that flies cargo vs passengers. Thanks. Love the channel and am learning a lot as a new (54 yr old) student pilot.
My iPad for Foreflight does not have an internal GPS. A portable Stratus 2S provided GPS/inertial/ADSB-In to Foreflight originally. Now panel equipment feeds the iPad this data.
Jason is cool. Got to meet him on Flight Chops' channel. Seems like an excellent instructor.
Your videos are great, thanks for taking the time to make them. 👏
JUAN,good advice, When you return, you might be surprised RO see how ORRIVELE RESV, IS, WE IN NOR EAST , also had great flooding, over 6” now high winds, stay safe &well🇺🇸🇰🇷🇨🇳🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of the most beautiful channels on yt.❤️
Thanks Juan, love this kind of content!
Excellent, thanks. When an airline in England was the first to start using iPads a senior captain condemned them as a toy and I think he said they should not be allowed in the cockpit. I also remember a few years ago you replied to my comment that there will never be an Apple product on your TH-cam channel. (Maybe you only had the company iPad for work?)
That was a great shot of walking the empty cabin. You should do it like the movie “2001 Space Odyssey” when astronaut Frank Poole was jogging in a circle in the spaceship, and add the soundtrack from the scene to it!
Wow! Awesome video, yet again! 💪💪😎😎
