Thank you Mike. A little recap of the meat of what I’ve learned so far about the three pedostatic instruments are: 1) Air speed Indicator which shows: • normal operating range • VS1 - clean stall speed • VNO - Max cruising speed • Caution Range • VNE - Never Exceed • VSO - Max weight stalling speed in landing configuration (Dirty) • VFE - Max Flap Speed (Extended) • True Air Speed 2) Altimeter which shows: • Altitude • whether you’re level, going up or down and the rate at which you are moving up or down. This is what is used for the 10% calculation for leveling. • Baromatic Pressure settings. Standard is 29.92 @ Sea Level and 15 degrees C. 3) Vertical speed indicator which shows: • your vertical speed in ft/sec or m/sec if you’re flying somewhere metric (like me) • also functions as a barometer of sorts by indicating whether you’re level are going up or down. • used to sense rate of change in altitude • used to determine in Climb and Descent rates

Thanks for all the recent positive comments Munchkin. I'm glad these videos are helpful, and good luck on your checkride. Is there anything you're terribly worried about or unsure of that I might be able to make a video of? (Or just answer a question) In about two videos more, I plan to cover some "checkride tips", and your input will be helpful.

Petrified about the diversion. Don’t want to get lost. I have tips and tricks from other students, my CFI, other videos. I can use my finger to measure 5 NM on the chart, make a wind card in advance, drop my finger on the chart and draw a circle for alternative airports. I just don’t want to look like a chump. You’ve been spot on with everything else, so….if you can give check ride advice….that would be awesome.

Since you mentioned it: What is the proper technique to lean an engine before takeoff? Does it differ aircraft by aircraft? OK is there a rule of thumb that's safe for all? Can/should it be used say at sea level on a super short scary runway to provide more power/acceleration? Leaning has to be different if done from/at a dead stop Also if leaned at 2400 RPM and then you reduce to 2300 RPMs should you re-adjust your lean mixture?
@121MikeАй бұрын
Hey Robert, I'm going to always officially refer people to their plane's POH, but... Power is a function of RPM, so if we set the parking brake, go full rich, then go full throttle at run-up, we'll see that we don't get max RPM. If I'm somewhere in the 4-5K density altitude range, I might start to lean the mix, and as I do, the RPM will go up, peak, then drop slightly. I'd aim to hit that max RPM figure with the mixture, then enrich slightly (2-3 twists on a Cessna or maybe 1/4" on a Piper) to make sure the engine gets all the fuel it needs. I'd then bring the throttle back down slowly to make sure the engine doesn't cough, and if not, I've properly leaned for a high density altitude takeoff! Great question, thanks for asking! I guess I should have covered that.
@robertshaver4432Ай бұрын
@@121Mike Thank You, that was a very good explanation. Static leaning (during runup) at altitude always sounds scary. Thanks!
@petermeadows2611Ай бұрын
That was very helpful and informative. Also, you add some humor to the lesson. I like how you used the Fat Joe hook from his song "Lean Back". Also, the suggestive reference to the four stroke combustion cycle helped me to remember it when I first started learning how to repair engines. I'm surprised you kept a straight face while saying it. I personally couldn't do it. Keep up the good work and I'll continue to check out your content.

I'm just into aviation gor fun of it you'd never catch me in a plane as a passenger or anything else I'm just strange I've got autism and this is just one of my absorbing interests and severe mrntsl health isdues so id bever be able to fly but you eoukdnt catch me out walking in a storm and if a storm started while I was at shops I'd be in a taxi home . But say plane was at 14,000 couldn't it just descend to a glight level out of the storm maybe at 11,000 then if it was concerned plane coukd be damaged it could put in a pan pan pan and divert to a airport away from the storm. I'd be hysterical if I was a passenger in a jet during a storm
@121Mike28 күн бұрын
Hey there! Those are some valid questions, and nice "Pan Pan Pan"! I wouldn't recommend descending below the storm either due to the downdrafts that occur there, and you'd be closer to the ground anyway. I'm still of the firm belief that turning around is best. Also, autism isn't a disqualifying factor for earning a pilot's license. So, just maybe... Commercial planes avoid storms to keep the passengers and planes happy, so passing through a storm would be extremely rate. Thanks for watching!
