I have my PPL oral test tomorrow & this is helping SO MUCH. Sucks this channel has become inactive. Great content

[@dwighttaylor5107]

Thank you helped me a great deal. I finally got it.

[@AeroNerd]

@@dwighttaylor5107 I’m glad it helped!

[@moisesgonzalez421]

The airspeed indicator is connected to a diaphragm, the only instrument that is connected to aneroid wafer is the altimeter man!

[@Shamdouh1]

Crazy how you make it simple

[@alifnurfadillah2953]

This is brilliant!

[@Queenlene0710]

I just started flight school, I’m being hit with an overwhelming amount of info 😅. this was sooooo helpful, thanks for breaking it down the way you do. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos

[@akuTee2010Elle]

Thanks Capt! Very helpful

[@AeroNerd]

Glad it helped! Be sure to check out the other sessions! All free info!

I am pretty familiar with these systems, but I still picked up a couple of tidbits: standard day pressure sealed into the altimeter aneroid, and the orientation of the turn indicator gyro. Cool...learn at least one new thing every day.

[@JeremyMyersmusic]

Thank you for the video recommendation... I have not found that channel yet. Again, I enjoy your videos and am going through your instrument training playlist.

[@RaviKumar-zt6xp]

[@ron1969]

Excellent explanation!

Thanks for the comment!

@@AeroNerd So cool that you’re back! I take my checkride on 5/28. You’re video have been super helpful!!!!! I forwarded your link to my CFI. He liked how simple you explain things.

[@Draculabih]

Great video! However, the altimeter is the only instrument that contains a sealed aneroid wafer with 29.92 ISA pressure. The VSI and ASI contain a diaphragm that receives static pressure from the ambient atmosphere.

[@kiencapunong868]

thank you sm for your effort to teach us

[@mvnjlnd3r952]

Really good videos and your funny hope you make more video for us private pilot students

Off-topic rant. I do not like the term "Steam Gauges". Seems like a pejorative term contrived by glass cockpit manufacturers to convey the idea of old-fashioned. "Analog Gauges" makes more sense. It just feels like the aviation community was manipulated by marketing teams. Not a big deal... just sits poorly.
