Cyndy, you are a very good teacher and get right to the point which is what students need. Your videos are serving up and coming pilots well, thank you.

[@NikKaussFlies]

this was the most clear and concise explanation of compass errors I have seen. thank you very much.

[@bulamoves2987]

Im so happy u made his video cindy! Ive been confused on compass turns n u just made me have a complete understanding now

[@j_1mmy175]

I'm so grateful for you and these videos. I really struggled to understand unos. After this video and the examples you gave. I now have a good understanding of it.

[@fredelizmontano8384]

Thank you so much Cindy, your explanations are spot on!!! i always watch your videos. you are a genius.

[@kevindayanna1624]

You are awesome, you always explain everything in a way I can understand better.Thank you!

[@realalbertojr]

Thanks a lot for the explanation Cyndy, your videos are great.

[@flyingisfun]

After 4 years still you are a good teacher

[@tqaquotes9379]

Dip errors: 04:25 Acceleration errors 06:01 Turning errors

[@bjjan8592]

Great description of unos with the needle hunting or resisting north.

[@indepviewpt]

good explanation that the compass wants to point to the north in the northern hemisphere. this helps understand why the device does what it does.

[@jamesspahmer7193]

Thank you Cindy for these informative videos! I received a new rating and learned from your instruction. Many thanks.

[@mahzan2948]

Thank you so much. I told you I wish I was your student. You're the best

[@saib717]

Thanks alot Cyndy your video are awesome

[@Fatinzafirah92]

Thank You Cindy, youre the best teacher, i refer to your explaination whenever i have doubt in some point. Thank you so much.

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

The lines that represents from magnetic north and are lines of longitude are called isogonic lines and the line that is represented at 0 in relation to magnetic deviation is called an agonic line

[@svenf1]

Excellent explanations!

[@davidkvatadze5388]

thank you so much cindy

[@performancerdllc2585]

great video. great explanation

[@ngonikenyaditswe704]

grateful all the way from Botswana

[@arminbeyg6608]

Very good explanation Thank you

[@soabplastikwala9397]

Thank you so much for this videos

[@DoctorWessamAtif]

Very good video. Thanks.

Hey everyone, the UNOS is explained incorrectly in this video. The PHAK says the compass turns SLOWER to the north when you turn to the north. And the compass turns FASTER to the south when you turn to the south. Think of UNOS as what the compass initially does and what you should do in the airplane. For example, when you turn to the south, the compass will move faster towards the south than what your airplane is actually doing, therefore overshoot or fly past your desired heading by a few degrees according to the compass - the compass will then sway back once straight and level. Cyndy, love your videos! Didn't mean to bring up a negative. Your videos are helping me tremendously with CFI studying.

[@hermancheung4196]

You are wrong. When start a turn from a southerly heading, the compass indication leads the turn (faster). In other words the compass tuns faster to the north. The opposite is true, the compass runs slower to the south. I don't think you understanding is correct. When you turn to the south, the compass lags the turn, and therefore when it is showing South, you are not actually 180 yet and you need to overshoot. The overshoot is the action the pilot should do to correct the turning error, it's not the compass overshooting, again the compass lags the turn.

[@roundtwo4569]

So the VOR is always pointed at the north and never the east south or west?

[@BRYDN_NATHAN]

Thanks 👍

[@jucava00]

Thank you

[@Majicalpepper]

Any comments on minimal heading changes? Say your heading 120 and ATC tells you to change heading by 10-20* to 130 or 140. Would you still roll out 15* later, even with minimal degrees in heading change? I guess I’m asking if this correction is based upon just the heading you are turning to and not necessarily how many degrees of heading you are changing by.

[@CyndyHollman]

When making small heading changes, it is easier to go to standard rate turn using your turn coordinator and count seconds. Remember that standard rate turn is 3 degrees per second. Therefore, if you need to adjust your heading by 10 degrees, roll into a standard rate turn and count 3 seconds, then roll wings level. Have fun and fly safely!

[@Ad-fu1ze]

Miss thank you for all the videos. I just have a question.. I’m 28 and I always wanted to be a pilot do you think I should go ahead with the ppl? And also how long will it take me to get my hands on A380? Please and thank you.

[@cyndyhollman1792]

Ad1234 1224 If you want to be a pilot, now is the time to go after your dream. There is a huge pilot shortage worldwide. If you treat your training like a full time job, you should be hired into the Regional Airlines in about 2 years. Then, you would most likely fly for another 3 - 4 years before applying for the Majors. Good luck and safe flying!!

[@Ad-fu1ze]

Cyndy Hollman thank you so much miss🙏. I was arguing with my mom to take this step or not. And miss how to determine which flying school is or good or not? I’m living in Toronto I’m thinking about going to Brampton flying school...

[@cyndyhollman1792]

Ad1234 1224 I would recommend Flight School of Greenville in South Carolina, of course :-)

[@Ad-fu1ze]

Cyndy Hollman I would defiantly look into that...but it will be hard for me to move to the states. And miss how hard is it to become a pilot I mean how much do I have to study for exams or what not? I’m pretty good at at maths and physics will that be enough? And also what do you mean by majors?

[@Ad-fu1ze]

Sorry I’m asking too many questions but I don’t have nobody to guide me through this path...thank you😊🙏 but yes if flying is just as you teach in your videos I’ll be flying Einstein lol

[@V-Ry]

Wait a min... You said compass wants to point north, but we have to overshoot S? Wouldn't overshoot S mean the compass would be indicating further S than the Airplane heading, so that would mean it wants to go South?

[@snatchmazz7970]

Good video but i have to disagree with a little thing about UNOS. When turning south, you have to overshoot because your compass moves faster than you and when turning north, you have to undershoot the rollout because the compass moves slower than you.

[@grzegorzbalcer5219]

Hi, i dont get it. If a compass is happy to go to north and is faster than actual heading shouldn’t I level off later? In other words if i am going from 090 to 360 i should level off at 330 because i am leveling off based on a compass that is faster than me/ actual heading. So the compass indicates 330 but i am actually at 360, right?

[@almt3b361]

DAMN im as confused as u been searching a lot for a time now & still doesnt gets into my mind like i should accelerate north and decelerate south but why its the opposite?!!!

[@leoyung1885]

I got the same question as your's, but sad no one answer you here.

[@alexanderwalley2639]

Yes, that is correct. But you almost always level off earlier while turning north. Maybe this helps. The compass will overshoot.

[@alexanderwalley2639]

@@almt3b361 This is one of those comments where your brain hurts just reading it.

[@joeymeyer326]

ANDS, but why does it turn N or S? Just stated it does, didn’t explain why it does? I’m still confused.

[@samuelmulugeta2576]

i love you cyndy

[@viccabrales3091]

Am I missing something or am I the only one wondering why we keep using such an error prone instrument. Is there anything else that can be used in place of the mag compass? So many things to keep track of so we don't deviate from course when using it. Glass cockpits is something else but how about on your typical C172 with steam gauges. Side note - I have been enrolled in 3 different ground schools (long story) and they are never as thorough as Cindy is. She truly is a legend on YT Ground school.

[@michaelthompson2764]

That's why you use your gyro compass most of the time, it's not subject to these errors. But, regularly during straight and level flight you need to check that your gyro is synchronized to your magnetic compass as it will precess over time.

[@robwahl]

5:55 ...and the opposite for the southern hemisphere.

[@paulcrooks3742]

northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere turns are different

[@HB-nt8xr]

what is being blurred?

[@davidkvatadze5388]

almost taking my instrument written

[@craggslist]

I like to say AND SEW- Accelerate north, decelerate south (when) east or west

Great, but just a need a mic

Just got how to remember easily. North wakes up earlier than lazy south :)
