Flight Simulator Lesson 1: Flight Instruments (NEWLY REDONE!)

[@santosnailz25]

I am beyond grateful that you take the time to make these videos! They are unbelievably phenomenal. Learning sooo much! Thank you 🙏🏽

[@techknowledge3911]

Thank you for this video. I've been watching youtubers such as steveo1kinevo, Premier 1 Driver, and Corporate Pilot Life. This video is very useful and helpful with the language used in their videos. I will need to watch this video about 10 more times (slow learner), but willing to do whatever it takes to understand the lingo. Subscribed!

[@ivgolia]

This is a great video for any new student. It is the best video I have found on the "sic pack" flight instruments. It is easy to understand. Thank you so much.

[@robb7177]

I just watched another video on instrument lessons and couldn’t even see the instrument as camera was to far away . This was crystal clear ! Thanks

[@chriscortez9907]

The best video broken down! Huge thanks!!

[@stacy_isa]

i am a ui/ux designer and I enjoyed this video a lot

[@athulrajtk3212]

Thank you for your great explanation regarding ''Flight Instruments''.

[@billvanoudtshoorn5962]

Wow! Amazing attention to detail. You are a great tutor! I am going the whole course...I have flown before but now I am starting to understand the plane a bit better. Did my time on single engine Piper and Cessna (many years ago) I might mention I found it easier with the plane under my butt than a Joystick on my desk, but I'm loving it - thanks to you. ;

[@HandsomeDragon]

This is helping me so well to understand how to fly properly in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Thank you!

[@thcvac]

thats why im here! Also i loved the video, i feel like i could fly IRL right now.

[@vincentmiller5886]

Great review for new student pilots. This is exactly what I needed.

[@garlicbuttermonkeballs]

Most informational understanding video for beginners

[@vincentchoufa6042]

Thanks for the clarification. it's well explained .It's one of the best flight instruments lesson . keep the good work

[@ZZstaff]

As far as basics go with the heading indicator, if you will be doing touch and goes at an airport look at the little, in this case orange triangles, they are 90 degrees apart. A standard pattern will require 90 degree turns to the left for each leg, so when you are at the proper altitude you will turn to a heading of 270 [two seven zero], then 180, then 90, then 360 for the final leg and approach to the runway. There are five names given for each leg. As you lift off the runway you are on the upwind leg, when you make your first turn left 90 degrees is the crosswind leg, turning left 90 degrees again and you will be on the base leg, turning again 90 degrees you will be on the final leg and you should be lined up with the runway for a landing. Some airports may not want you to use a standard traffic pattern and require right turns. If not doing touch and goes there are other requirements to enter a traffic pattern or direction of flight to eventually get you lined up with the runway. The standard entrance to a pattern is about halfway in the downwind leg and have turned to the proper heading, in this case 180 degrees. The rest of the pattern will be the same as above. There is more to making a proper approach such as height above ground, air speed, landing configuration and more, which I will not go into here. I stopped watching at that point. Thank you for presenting this video regarding the use of instruments in a common flight simulator.

''when you make your first turn left 90 degrees is the crosswind leg, turning left 90 degrees again and you will be on the base leg, turning again 90 degrees you will be on the final leg and you should be lined up with the runway for a landing'' No, after the 2nd turn, you're in the downwind leg (you forgot that one), then base leg, then lined up with landing runway.

[@peteallennh]

This is amazing, thank you!

[@wilsonvargas9072]

good job on this video, I really enjoyed it, good job amigo!

[@rejeanvilleneuve2224]

thank you for the video. You are a very good teacher

[@kevinkioko2778]

Loved both the first and the second video

[@nardesh127]

Very nicely explained each instrument.

[@bobpeterson4930]

My familiarization lesson PRIOR to first my first flying lesson. Thanks!

[@royd7984]

What is the gauge mounted on top of the dashboard? Thank for your very helpful video.

[@Plathismo]

Very helpful. MSFC2020 (I'm playing the console version that just came out) does not properly explain how to actually read the instruments.

[@poomsaekata]

Is there something explaining the computer thingie after the dials? Between where you and the other person sits? Thanks!!

[@davie627]

It's crystal clear.

[@ericswild]

Thank you for the lesson. Just what I was looking for.

[@noodlefoo]

Thank you for your clear and well explained video.

[@chadhaas2839]

Thank you. That was very helpful!

[@HollywoodMGB3]

Thank you for a very informative video

[@jdbarney]

Great video, but I have a question. At about the 9:20 mark in your video, you see a message in X-Plane that says the directional gyro is not aligned with magnetic north. Does this refer to the alignment of the heading indicator to the magnetic compass or something else? I ask because by this point you had already made that adjustment, and I have not found anyone else online that explains what needs to be done when you see that message. Thanks!

[@flighttrajectory]

Hey John, sorry for the late reply; The heading indicator works with a spinning gyroscope, which is NOT slaved to magnetic north. As such, you have to manually adjust the heading indicator to match with the magnetic compass. The gyroscopic heading indicator is more stable than the compass (the compass is prone to a number of errors when you're flying in any manner except straight and level flight), and thus easier to use for navigation. But since it isn't slaved to the compass, you have to periodically adjust it to keep it aligned with the compass. X-Plane defaults with the 2 lined up, but you see in my video that when I started moving the heading indicator, it became "misaligned" with the magnetic compass, triggering a warning from X-Plane. All I needed to do was turn it back the other way to match up with the compass.

[@sarathw5740]

Yout lessons are the best of all in my opinion for a beginner. It is petty that you don't make any new videos.

[@hg2.]

Well done. Thanks.

[@rafaels74]

Hey Matt, great update, thank you for the video. The graphics look so crisp and realistic. What software are you using? Thanks!

[@RJcreations3D]

What sim are you using?

[@ThomasGrillo]

Thanks for the 2.0 version. Very helpful. :)

[@Crazmuss]

"naughtical mile is 6076 feet long instead of standart 5280 feet" me: cry in metric how do I suppose to remember that?

[@flighttrajectory]

😂😂 I couldn't agree more. Honestly though, us pilots just use a flat 6000' when we have to do any calculations

[@micahokeiley]

Great info, bro! Well explained. Will be using some of this to help with my CFI! Thank you

[@flighttrajectory]

Awesome, good luck on your CFI! that's a huge step!

[@aqeelahmad1226]

I have watched each and every video of your channel... keep it up and u got another subscriber :)

[@JohnSapato]

It's quite funny when landing against the wind. I was landing the Cessna once, and it was almost literally floating in air.

[@freddie1960100]

love the lesson hope to see more

[@garyvale8347]

I have built and flown many RC model planes and helicopters, and recently been interested in watching actual ATC and aircraft recordings ....this type of video is a great help in understanding what instruments the pilot is looking at inside the aircraft ...I may even pick up a computer flight sim program and some type of compatible yoke controller...any recommendations for a beginner ?....thanks much.......

[@peterv1806]

Excellent video - thank you.

[@Facts-fusion036]

THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON . IT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND ✌🏻❤

[@flighttrajectory]

You're welcome 😊

[@sinecera5171]

thank you for your help. Just I want let you know your website does not work, I am trying to visited but :(

[@markushall5855]

The announcer speaks calming in which I can react w ease 😃

[@flighttrajectory]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@almassultanov3537]

Useful video, keep it up!

[@HighFidelityFox]

Awesome! I loved the original lesson. You should put all the videos into one file for easy download

[@fredapedregon]

Great Video. Thanks!

[@bernardosanchez6860]

Thanks for the lesson it was really helpful.

[@dennis771]

I am a student pilot with 13 hours and all seem familiar lol

[@zxGHOSTr]

Thanks for the great content!

[@Bugy34]

hello guys, can someone tell me what tool to use (or sofware) to make video with FS and being able to talk at the same time.? thank you :)

[@hiimdrummer03]

What simulator is being used? Also what controls do you use?

[@samyosef]

Great rev

[@1978Musician1978]

What is this software?

[@tcalcut]

The first video was great also...!!

[@joaodib4126]

Great video

[@MsMandy-le4wd]

awesome videos.. great tips.. thanks.

[@KerryMyers]

Really good instructional! What flight sim are you using?

[@flighttrajectory]

I use X-Plane for most of my videos. The oldest video was X-Plane 9, the newer ones are 10 and 11.

[@asshrafulratul7249]

What is the heading?

[@dapuwayokaa7190]

Hi what is the name of this game

[@dam4274]

Hi, I’m trying to find the best flight training video series here on KZbin and so far so good with yours. I’ve watched many videos from others including Steveo Kinevo who do a fine job of narrating their flights. I registered on fly8ma and I found it difficult to navigate their website. Their first lesson is to analyze a Houston plane crash. Where I live it costs $7000 to learn to fly. I’m somewhat poor and don’t have that sort of money yet smart enough to figure out a lot on my own. I’d prefer to learn everything online as much as possible in order to take the test.

[@TheMwarner88]

That is a great strategy - learn as much online as possible. If motivated, you cab also study for and pass your written test prior to lessons. The way to go to save $$$

[@abdulhamdard8562]

I like your explanation

[@souleymaneba8705]

Thank you for this great video!

You should really get a POH before you start talking the airplane. For example below 3000 ft density altitude mixture rich

[@geluidsoverlast932]

Holy fuck you sound like Bryan Dechart
