How To Read A VFR Sectional Chart - MzeroA Flight Training

[@ki4wzt]

I passed my test in June of 2020 with 82%. Thank you for all your help.

[@kroes1687]

Congrats bro!

[@cockpitlife737]

Nice bro

[@Momnitt]

what study guide did you use for your written test? thanks

[@dickfitswell3437]

Is 82 a good grade? I don't fly planes. Unfamiliar with their tests. In my line of work we take safety courses and there is a test at the end and if you get a 99% you fail and have to retake the course.

[@liveleakcarcrashes1]

@@dickfitswell3437 you need a 70 percent to pass so yes a 82 is good

"Big number is on the Altimeter, small small is far you'll fall" ....OMG THIS HELPS SOOO MUCH!!!

[@pilotblue6535]

As a Canadian pilot living near the border this is a great help. US VFR charts are so close in nature but different. This clears up a lot. You might post a Canadian VFR chart showing the subtle differences. It is always a treat to visit and experience American hospitality.

[@Sparc343]

@18:41 How do you remember which is MSL vs AGL for tower/obstruction symbols? Well, the number on top (MSL) is the number your altimeter will read if you hit it, the bottom number (AGL) is how many feet you're about to fall (to the ground) ~ LOVE IT..! (Makes sense on a few different levels too!!) Kind of like my driving instructor (once upon a time) taught us how to never forget how to remember and never forget which way you're supposed to point your steer tires when parallel parking UP vs DOWN hill... "UP UP AND AWAY"...! Parallel parking on an uphill? Wheels point AWAY from the side of the road..! Parallel parking on a downhill? Wheel point TOWARD the side of the road..! Thanks for helping me along my path to my Part 107..!

I used the King courses back in the 90s all loaded on CDs. Things have changed just a little. Glad to see videos on using a sectional.

[@SidebandSamurai]

Hi Jason. Loved the video. One thing with the video I had a problem with was the symbology part of the video. You were taking about the symbols but you did not put an arrow or a square around the symbol you were taking about. So as a new pilot I was a little lost. The second part where you showed an example of a chart was fantastic. You highlighted the symbols you were talking about and it was made more clear

[@glidewillie5767]

[@DesertMagician]

Jason mentions (1:31) a link would be available for VFR symbology but there's only a link to your online courses. Is the symbology still available?

thank you thank you, seriously, for us poor boys who are training to become pilots, and cant afford the manuals and books, plus those of us like me who are visual / kinesthetic / hands on thinkers and learners visual vids are the next best thing to being in person with instructor, i am doing as much as i can online with visual stuff like the KZbin vids and of course doing my flight in seat hours in the plane, so yes please do keep em coming as the youtube vids that groups put out are a huuuge help for my ground school portions to prep me for the tests, much thanks brother !

would like to be getting the new courses. I've been with you guys since 2017 and passed Part 107 Certification plus renewals. We registered one of our VOs to get her Part 107 . I was supposed to be able to use the courses with that one registration years ago. Is that still on? Feels like I'm not seeing the new courses.

[@pdmaloy]

Jason, You do a great job with your explanations but at 15:27 you mention 123.0 is UNICOM for OCF but that number does NOT appear on the chart you are using as your learning example.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Paul. We did correct this in our online ground school but it can't be done on this KZbin video. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for watching!

[@andyk295]

Hi Jason-excellent video (where's 123.0?). Here's a word about MOA's and Restricted areas. If you fly from Los Angeles to Las Vegas the path is 'strewn' with all sorts of military flight test areas. In a seminar I attended a test pilot said they do steep vertical as well as horizontal extreme performance testing. An F-18 or the like can climb (or descend) 25-30,000 feet in a matter of seconds. You won't see him at this velocity. A GA pilot has to be 'talking and squawking' constantly through these areas to stay safe.

[@grinchusmc3521]

I was stationed at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, CA in 1988-1990. While there I worked at the local airport (TNP) and more than a few student pilots doing their cross country solos out of Corona, CA were escorted out of the restricted airspace and out to the airport by Cobra gunships.

Tha would be frightening to be flying a small Cessna thru there and then all the sudden a F-22 or /F-35(my choice) comes burning in front of you in a hard 8G turn while squeezing all the vapor out of the air. Would be pretty cool actually. Well once you know you are not gonna die

Curious why KIGM is depicted without being inside a circle? The runways are 6,800' and not over 8,069'. Yet, KIFP is an 8,500' runway and is depicted in the filled in blue circle. Why?

[@MrBsizelove]

yea, at minute 15:28 there is a reference to the last number "123.0 Unicom" i rewound and replayed this over and over then paused the video looking and looking for that it's not there ????? can you clarify this ? are you using a different chart than one you may be looking at during narration that might have more info on it?

[@dylanng7184]

At 15.01 , what do you mean by we are looking at traffic pattern at 1100 Feet MSL? as the number indicated was 90 feet. Looking forward for the explanation.

[@nicholasfolk5582]

I hope you found out by now, but as he said traffic pattern is 1000 ft above the runway, so since the elevation is 90 ft MSL the altitude would be 1000+90 which is preeetty close to 1100 :)

[@Virtualmix]

Alright, I'm gonna be this guy since no one else mentioned it: The "www" is not implied. The subdomain is either configured by the webmaster or not configured, in which case the website will not be accessible using the "www" subdomain. There's very few good technical reasons to configure a "www" subdomain nowadays. It's longer for visitors to type and can be slower if a redirection is required. On the other hand, the "" is implied since the web browser will automatically add the protocol to the URL before trying to load a website. That would have been a better example but I think we got the idea nonetheless ;)

[@einfussganger]

He could have just noted that trailing zeros to the right of the decimal are insignificant digits like leading zeroes on the left. 118.3 = 118.300000000 = 0000000118.3 The www was a weak analogy. I was more put off at the start of the video by the use of the reflexive pronoun “myself” as the subject. Yeah, I’m that guy. 😀

I think you should syndicate investors and get licensed to build Cessna 152 aircraft. Many people trust you and I think you could get this done. Many flight schools around the country are using old beat up aircraft that beginners are not finding attractive. These existing flight schools are not reinvesting in their business. I’ve witnessed some junky looking airplanes. A Garmin or two will not overcome the trashiness of poor looking interiors. If I had millions I’d sponsor you in this project.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

As a "preview" of what your course offers, it really doesn't look good that all your images are scaled up and super blurry hard to read. Just being honest here. The information seems solid, the presentation doesn't make me want to go buy your course though if it is all like this.
