I missed every lat long question on the practice test. I watched this video, and ACED all the coordinate questions. Hard to super simple in less than 8mins. Great job
I appreciate your clear and thorough explanation of latitude and longitude. The way you highlighted the areas on the map and did sample calculations was very helpful. Now I get it. Thank you so much!
I was reviewing some test questions and answers and was befuddled by the 30 min line. Thank you for illuminating me and giving us a much better picture of this data on the charts.
Getting ready to take my FAA part 107 drone test and this was something that wasn’t explained clearly in the studying I have done. Great simple explanation that helps me tremendously! Thank you!
great video! I feel one thing was left out though... the higher latitude you are at on the chart the more you shouldn't use the horizontal lines on the chart to measure distance. each tick mark on the horizontal lines (lines of latitude) are only truly 1nm at the equator, as you go north or south the lines get closer together and therefore introduce error if using them to measure distance... said differently try to always use the vertical lines (lines of longitude) to measure distance on a chart.
So, I'm confused,.... will I need to take earth's spin into consideration and it's curvature?? I am trying to wrap my head around this,..... thx for your anticipated clarification,.. truly
So is it saft to say. To find the minutes of the longitude line, you count on the lattitude line, and to find the minuets on the latitude line you count on the longitude line?
BRUH ,..It's actually laughable and yet horribly irresponsible he will remove soon GUARANTEED,.. HE WILL NEVER GET WATER TO CLING TO A SPINNING BALL OF WATER, NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES,..... I WILL GRANT ANY WISH THAN CAN SIMPLY PROVE EARTH HAS CURVATURE AND MOTION,..... I CAN DEBUNK THIS HACK INSTRUCTOR EFFORTLESSLY,,,,,,
On one point for continuities sake... when the lat and longitude are being described by voice it can be confusing to be reading N39 -1', W95 -13' whilst it is being said 39 degrees and 1 minute North and 95 degrees - 13 minutes West. I get what you meant it. Hope you see what I mean. Good presentation nonetheless.
Wow Russ, that was a very positive learning experience. I've watched 10 videos and still did not quite get it. You are the very teacher. I have one question? I'm taking my Part 107 test on Thursday. One of the questions is this. You have been hired to inspect the tower under construction at 46.9N and 98.6W, near Jamestown Regional (JMS). How would I find this location written like this. What is the equation for the opposite. You said divide it by 60. Would I x's it by 60. ALSO: I don't know how to find a place that asks me a question like this next one here: You have been contracted to inspect towers located approximately 4NM southwest of the Sioux Gateway (SUX) How do I know what 4NM is and how do I know how far south or west I look. How do I find this tower? Often the question just shows a part of the map with no guide to help you understand the scale or where or how to look. Thank You, Tom
Thank you, I understand it now. I'm not going through any flight school now because of the Covid thing.Im studying on my own. I bought the jepperson flight book.....
The confusing part is that youre reading the 39° latitude but youre using the longitude line, and the 95° longitude is using the horizontal line. Idk why its confusing
LOST ME WHEN HE SAID EARTH IS A SPHERE,..... THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE HACK/ FRAUD,..... EARTH IS FLAT AND STATIONARY I CAN PROVE THAT ALL DAY EVERYDAY,..... I WOULDN'T USE THIS SCHOOL IF IT WAS THE ONLY ONE,...... RUSS IS A BOLD FACED LIAR HE WILL TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN SOON TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT ""MARK MY WORDS""" th-cam.com/video/OQCXT2pkans/w-d-xo.html
It can be confusing. Latitudes are measured from the equator to the poles. The only reason that lines of longitude are involved is because that's where the tic-marks are shown. Think of them as a ladder.
Latitude lines are derived from elevation angle measurements of Polaris. Elevation angles require a horizontal plane (flat earth). Welcome to flat earth!!!
@@GoldSealFlight That's a fallacy. You have nothing to back your baseless assertion that elevation angles of stars don't change with distance on a flat surface. You cannot measure elevation angles without flat earth geometry. All stars drop 1° every 69 statute miles away from the geographical position of the star measured on a flat earth, not a curved baseline (globe). You cannot measure an elevation angle with a curved baseline (globe).
@@GoldSealFlight Celestial navigation doesn't require knowing the actual height of stars. We use elevation angles to get the distance from the geographical position of stars. Elevation angles require flat earth geometry. You cannot measure an elevation angle with a curved baseline (globe).
Correct. Celestial navigation doesn't require knowing the distance of stars is because they are all so unimaginably far away. If you think that a star's elevation changes when moving toward it or away from it on a flat surface, that star would have to be very close. Regarding the rest of your comment about angles measured from a curved surface, look up the word "tangent". So, back to my previous question. How far away from earth do you believe Polaris is?

Finally! Someone who has clearly explained all those lines and ticks. Thank you!!
the first 15 seconds of this video would make a flat-earther's head explode
😂😂😂
Hilarious
Best video i've watched on explaining this topic.
Thank you!
Feeling much more prepared to pass my Part 107.
I missed every lat long question on the practice test. I watched this video, and ACED all the coordinate questions. Hard to super simple in less than 8mins. Great job
I appreciate your clear and thorough explanation of latitude and longitude. The way you highlighted the areas on the map and did sample calculations was very helpful. Now I get it. Thank you so much!
I never comment on anything, but I must say thank you....I finally got it!
I've struggled with Lat/Long in tenths and hundredth degrees for some time. After this explanation, no longer am I intimidated by this, thank you!
Lol I was intimidated by the topic as well but now after watching this I wanna go do practice some chart work . Video isa A+
Excellent explanation. Thank you I have been watching a lot of your videos during last few months of training for my PPL and they are very helpful
Crystal clear. Much thanks 👍
Sir, a big THANK YOU to you!
Thank you so much for a better explanation! I was stuck on King’s school on this specific lesson on sectional charts!
Thank you this helped me so much for my test tomorrow
I was reviewing some test questions and answers and was befuddled by the 30 min line. Thank you for illuminating me and giving us a much better picture of this data on the charts.
This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far
Getting ready to take my FAA part 107 drone test and this was something that wasn’t explained clearly in the studying I have done. Great simple explanation that helps me tremendously! Thank you!

Makes much more sense now. Thank you!
Best explanation so far on this topic! Thank you so much!
Yess!!! Thank you!! I’ve been so confused you explained it perfectly!!!
Thank you for the great explanation. Now I think I got it. Great teaching method.
Very well done, but what’s an E-quator. Is it like the PO-lice?
So, I'm confused,.... will I need to take earth's spin into consideration and it's curvature?? I am trying to wrap my head around this,..... thx for your anticipated clarification,.. truly
That was a great video and now i understand the lat/long system. Thank you very much!
Great explanation! Thank you for a wonderful presentation!
You're quite welcome, Pete!
I actually caught on...best explanation! THANKS
So is it saft to say. To find the minutes of the longitude line, you count on the lattitude line, and to find the minuets on the latitude line you count on the longitude line?
awesome way to explain. Best video i've watched explaining how to read the chart specially the division line every 30 minutes. thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this easy to follow and thorough video Russ.
You are very welcome
absolutely incredible video, thank you!
You are the best. Thanks . Now I clearly know how to find out lat and long..
Nice Training, very easy to understand. Great Job!
Do flight charts come on computers now too? Like for professional grade iPads etc.?
MrUnite4thechildren yes. Not professional iPads, just iPads
really useful info right here. i always make sure to plot out my lat and long on a sectional chart everytime i fly!
How can you find out distance between two coordinates on separate latitude and longitudes?
Finally I get it! thanks!
Great video with a clear explanation! Thanks!
Great video, well explained and well made
Thanks, John!
THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO!!!

I truly appreciate it . Now I understand thank you 🙏🏾
Man thank you so much !! I needed this badly
As clear as it van get! Thank you sir! :)
Great explanation
Thanks so much!

Thank You !!!
Good video
Well-explained. Thank you sir!
SO friggin helpful!!! OMG! Thank you!!!
Wow! Thanks. Those unlabeled lines were getting me. I've got it now
Highly helpful , thank you !
Great video!
brought a clear understanding to how to determine latitude and longitude
great video !!
hard stuff made easy to understand !!
can you do one in marriage 101 !!
Angel of War I am Marriage is the easy one, it's women you need the full degree in 😁
Dear god, why do they list it as 98.5W on the exam instead of W98°30' ?! It's blatant obfuscation.
The confusing part is that youre reading the 39° latitude but youre using the longitude line, and the 95° longitude is using the horizontal line. Idk why its confusing

Great video! Thank you!
very simply described
Awesome job, thank you for your help
You're welcome, Danny!
So is it 180°W or 180°E on the opposite side from Greenwich?
Darren Godbold correct
thanks!
I don't get how we're calling it latitude, but counting up on the longitude line and vise versa ? Isn't clicking for me
It can be confusing. Latitudes are measured from the equator to the poles. The only reason that lines of longitude are involved is because that's where the tic-marks are shown. Think of them as a ladder.
Buddy brushed thru that shit
Great video 😊❤
latitude east to west? , longitude north to south?
This is awesome ❤️
Thank You! Thank You! I was having Difficulty with this Subject and you made sense of it.
Thank You 🙏 so much, I just clear about quadrants 🤗🤗
Thank you very much Mr. Still, that was explained very clear and concise, 👍😎even my 12 year old niece would understand.
GREAT VIDEO!!
thank you!!!!
thank god for this video so good
completely lost me on the 30 -45 when you started talking halves.....???????????????
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I need a location for 43.0000000 x 79.0000000
Longitude is East to West & Latitude is North to South.
awesome vid
Thanks only I can see that
Latitude lines are derived from elevation angle measurements of Polaris. Elevation angles require a horizontal plane (flat earth). Welcome to flat earth!!!
If the earth was flat, the "elevation angles" (declination) would be the same everywhere. Your suggestion requires a spherical earth.
@@GoldSealFlight That's a fallacy. You have nothing to back your baseless assertion that elevation angles of stars don't change with distance on a flat surface. You cannot measure elevation angles without flat earth geometry. All stars drop 1° every 69 statute miles away from the geographical position of the star measured on a flat earth, not a curved baseline (globe). You cannot measure an elevation angle with a curved baseline (globe).
Just how far away from the earth do you think the star Polaris is???
@@GoldSealFlight Celestial navigation doesn't require knowing the actual height of stars. We use elevation angles to get the distance from the geographical position of stars. Elevation angles require flat earth geometry. You cannot measure an elevation angle with a curved baseline (globe).

Regarding the rest of your comment about angles measured from a curved surface, look up the word "tangent". So, back to my previous question. How far away from earth do you believe Polaris is?
Learned this in middle school. Do they not teach this anymore?
you dont have to point it out that ist on my test 🤣🤣🤣
makes me feel exposed
Not a pilot just a 6th grade needing help on homework
There is only one t in longitude, not two. It’s not longtitude.

Did you just say the world is not flat? Jk. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you !!
