👍I got schooled in temperature inversions on my first solo flight away from the airfield. Ever so slowly the ground became less and less visible -- a cloud was forming around me. Worse, there were plenty of tall towers in the area. I made a bee-line for the river (no towers in the river), dropped down to 600' and followed that back home. Definitely made me study up on the phenomenon.

Yes, that is definitely a a scary situation I’ve got myself into before as well. It’s better to learn the way you did. You will be a lot more careful from now on

If it's not to much trouble, can you make youtube shorts videos about weather. For example, like going over the types of fog again? So I can use the short videos as refreshers :) I learn so much from your videos.

Once I was crossing some high ground at low altitude with family onboard, after taking off from a nearby airport. The aircraft started sinking due to wind shear, and it was necessary to put the nose down to build up the air speed. I am still here to talk about but I had a strong instinct to lift the nose which would have been fatal.

@FreePilotTraining Жыл бұрын

That’s scary. It’s crazy that we all have that instinct. You might like this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enXVZnhjit52brssi=tFu7ZIRgt6N6bG0d

When you think of how to get out of a thunderstorm, think a thunderstorm is a falling rock zone, and what should you do in a falling rock zone? Drive as fast as possible, just not so fast you make a rock fall. Too fast and you become the rock (turbulence and maneuvering speed), too slow you get hit by the rock (the thunderstorm)

Question: Is it possible just to fly above the weather conditions and avoid the problem? And at what Altitudes are above any Dangerous Conditions?

@FreePilotTraining 2 жыл бұрын

It is possible to fly VFR over low level inversions. You may not be able to get back through the clouds VFR though. You shouldn’t be flying over a thunderstorm. They can grow super fast and get you in trouble. It is possible to fly above the forecasted Icing conditions if your plane can fly that high. Icing typically isn’t a factor below negative 20 degrees. You can also fly over wind shear. It’s not usually a big deal until you start the descent. Hope this helps you

@fukcensorship5762 2 жыл бұрын

windshear confusion: Doesn't a headwind ADD to air speed? It does to at least ground speed since you're having to fight through the wind. I get that less headwind = less lift, but reducing headwind should not reduce air speed should it? That would be for a tail wind.

@FreePilotTraining 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! You are correct. However, it’s safer to be fast than slow. If you are shooting for 60 knots indicated airspeed and you have a 10 knot gust, your airspeed indicator is going to jump 10 knots with every gust, and what tends to happen is that you target the 60 knots during the gust and when it goes away, your airspeed drops. By adding half the gust factor you are essentially splitting the difference and flying right between the airspeeds at the worst case scenario.

@nut_jobber 3 ай бұрын

@@FreePilotTraining you mean the fact that the aircraft flies at 60 KT with a headwind of 30 KT means that the 30 KT headwind adds up to our indicated airspeed? But generally thinking, more headwind is supposed to slow us more. So from 30 KT to 5 KT, our airspeed should be increasing as our aircraft would tend to travel faster due to facing less resistance.

Hi, question: on mountain turbulance, is there any safe altitude above the peak of the mountain to go through without being affected by the turbulence? (If i didnt make my self clear please let me know)

@FreePilotTraining 2 ай бұрын

Mountain wave turbulence can occur at altitudes well above mountain peaks, but as a general rule, you can significantly reduce the affects by being at least 2,000 feet above the peaks

you weren't kidding that it seems like you need a meteorology degree to become a pilot XD I'm just like whaa another weather video XD. But thank you so much for explaining it so well. I'm gonna need to rewatch all of these around 10 more times to get it all to sink in lol. Also I'm in awe of how much you know!! Am I gonna have to be at your level to become a cfi some day?

If you go from a 30 knot to 5 knot headwind, wouldn't that speed you up 25 knots rather than slow you down 25 knots?

@FreePilotTraining 2 жыл бұрын

I know, it doesn’t feel right until you see it in motion. A 5 knot headwind just slows you down 5 knots over the ground. That’s the way I think of it

@chrishome2986 2 жыл бұрын

Think of it this way ... You're flying at 100 knots in still air with no wind. Then you fly into a 35 knot headwind. Now your indicated airspeed is 135 (you have 35 knots more air rushing over your wings). So you reduce throttle and pitch for 100 knots indicated. Then you descend through the shear zone into a 5 knot headwind. Your IAS just dropped from 100 to 70. Now imagine this at an approach where you're 1.3 Vs0 in a 35 knot headwind at 800ft AGL. At 500AGL you hit the inversion level and the wind drops 30 knots. You'll stall right above the ground unless you're carrying extra speed anticipating the wind shear drop.
