Latitude and Longitude - Sectional Charts

www.groundschool.com
You can pinpoint any position on earth using the simple grid system of latitude and longitude. Don't let this stuff scare you. It's really quite simple!

[@charlesanderson5774]

Finally! Someone who has clearly explained all those lines and ticks. Thank you!!

[@chrisanderson8413]

the first 15 seconds of this video would make a flat-earther's head explode

[@rapinncapin123]

😂😂😂

[@rapinncapin123]

Hilarious

[@BuiltonBitcoin]

Best video i've watched on explaining this topic. Thank you! Feeling much more prepared to pass my Part 107.

[@tomyfamily1]

I missed every lat long question on the practice test. I watched this video, and ACED all the coordinate questions. Hard to super simple in less than 8mins. Great job

[@asiaglenn6285]

I appreciate your clear and thorough explanation of latitude and longitude. The way you highlighted the areas on the map and did sample calculations was very helpful. Now I get it. Thank you so much!

[@delabambam]

I never comment on anything, but I must say thank you....I finally got it!

[@sam29152995]

Sir, a big THANK YOU to you!

[@wild_cumulus_cloud]

Crystal clear. Much thanks 👍

[@Slayer87462]

Excellent explanation. Thank you I have been watching a lot of your videos during last few months of training for my PPL and they are very helpful

[@aaroncompton4680]

Getting ready to take my FAA part 107 drone test and this was something that wasn’t explained clearly in the studying I have done. Great simple explanation that helps me tremendously! Thank you!

[@maldonado41]

Thank you so much for a better explanation! I was stuck on King’s school on this specific lesson on sectional charts!

[@h3sh926]

This is amazing! Thank you so much.

[@broreguard41]

Makes much more sense now. Thank you!

[@TargetForge]

I was reviewing some test questions and answers and was befuddled by the 30 min line. Thank you for illuminating me and giving us a much better picture of this data on the charts.

[@Kungpaopao31]

Best explanation so far on this topic! Thank you so much!

[@sabanetense62]

awesome way to explain. Best video i've watched explaining how to read the chart specially the division line every 30 minutes. thanks so much.

[@emilydavila4421]

absolutely incredible video, thank you!

[@MrRonin055]

Thank you for the great explanation. Now I think I got it. Great teaching method.

[@IvanSkyFlight]

Great video with a clear explanation! Thanks!

[@ViewFinder4U]

Yess!!! Thank you!! I’ve been so confused you explained it perfectly!!!

[@MarkSchaefers]

Nice Training, very easy to understand. Great Job!

[@eeka_droid]

That was a great video and now i understand the lat/long system. Thank you very much!

[@skypilot9123]

I truly appreciate it . Now I understand thank you 🙏🏾

[@Only1Deltaco]

I've struggled with Lat/Long in tenths and hundredth degrees for some time. After this explanation, no longer am I intimidated by this, thank you!

[@skypilot9123]

Lol I was intimidated by the topic as well but now after watching this I wanna go do practice some chart work . Video isa A+

[@ppshootecopew.-]

really useful info right here. i always make sure to plot out my lat and long on a sectional chart everytime i fly!

[@tammylawrence6785]

Thank you this helped me so much for my test tomorrow

BRUH ,..It's actually laughable and yet horribly irresponsible he will remove soon GUARANTEED,.. HE WILL NEVER GET WATER TO CLING TO A SPINNING BALL OF WATER, NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES,..... I WILL GRANT ANY WISH THAN CAN SIMPLY PROVE EARTH HAS CURVATURE AND MOTION,..... I CAN DEBUNK THIS HACK INSTRUCTOR EFFORTLESSLY,,,,,,

[@toimaui5635]

Thank You 🙏 so much, I just clear about quadrants 🤗🤗

[@michaelshanenewman]

brought a clear understanding to how to determine latitude and longitude

[@nicholasgould4920]

GREAT VIDEO!!

[@johnnada]

Great video, well explained and well made

[@GoldSealFlight]

Thanks, John!

[@kivngy]

thank you!!!!

[@Larry-tm8pv]

thank god for this video so good

[@WorkHardTravelWell]

thanks!

[@ameerali_]

very simply described

[@rodneyforde5785]

Great video 😊❤

[@robertclark4509]

Thank you, I understand it now. I'm not going through any flight school now because of the Covid thing.Im studying on my own. I bought the jepperson flight book.....

[@kevernking4578]

Good video

[@drewleevy5420]

awesome vid

[@highnitro707]

great video! I feel one thing was left out though... the higher latitude you are at on the chart the more you shouldn't use the horizontal lines on the chart to measure distance. each tick mark on the horizontal lines (lines of latitude) are only truly 1nm at the equator, as you go north or south the lines get closer together and therefore introduce error if using them to measure distance... said differently try to always use the vertical lines (lines of longitude) to measure distance on a chart.

[@williamfullmer857]

Thank you.

[@GoldSealFlight]

You're welcome!

[@comcastjohn]

Thank you very much Mr. Still, that was explained very clear and concise, 👍😎even my 12 year old niece would understand.

[@224evans]

Very well done, but what’s an E-quator. Is it like the PO-lice?

[@jeffkoss5975]

Thank You! Thank You! I was having Difficulty with this Subject and you made sense of it.

[@senddeee1451]

Buddy brushed thru that shit

[@MrU4theChillWind]

Do flight charts come on computers now too? Like for professional grade iPads etc.?

[@craggslist]

MrUnite4thechildren yes. Not professional iPads, just iPads

[@dmeneghin]

How can you find out distance between two coordinates on separate latitude and longitudes?

[@lindseyjohn4789]

So is it saft to say. To find the minutes of the longitude line, you count on the lattitude line, and to find the minuets on the latitude line you count on the longitude line?

[@russellregimbal3812]

So, I'm confused,.... will I need to take earth's spin into consideration and it's curvature?? I am trying to wrap my head around this,..... thx for your anticipated clarification,.. truly

[@rotarywingusa4519]

On one point for continuities sake... when the lat and longitude are being described by voice it can be confusing to be reading N39 -1', W95 -13' whilst it is being said 39 degrees and 1 minute North and 95 degrees - 13 minutes West. I get what you meant it. Hope you see what I mean. Good presentation nonetheless.

[@sutv6754]

Wow Russ, that was a very positive learning experience. I've watched 10 videos and still did not quite get it. You are the very teacher. I have one question? I'm taking my Part 107 test on Thursday. One of the questions is this. You have been hired to inspect the tower under construction at 46.9N and 98.6W, near Jamestown Regional (JMS). How would I find this location written like this. What is the equation for the opposite. You said divide it by 60. Would I x's it by 60. ALSO: I don't know how to find a place that asks me a question like this next one here: You have been contracted to inspect towers located approximately 4NM southwest of the Sioux Gateway (SUX) How do I know what 4NM is and how do I know how far south or west I look. How do I find this tower? Often the question just shows a part of the map with no guide to help you understand the scale or where or how to look. Thank You, Tom

[@GoldSealFlight]

Thanks. For more Part 107 tips, tricks, and skills, visit www.UAVGroundSchool.com.

[@dazgodbold]

So is it 180°W or 180°E on the opposite side from Greenwich?

[@craggslist]

Darren Godbold correct

[@Revelations310]

great video !! hard stuff made easy to understand !! can you do one in marriage 101 !!

[@craggslist]

Angel of War I am Marriage is the easy one, it's women you need the full degree in 😁

[@DAVIDGCR]

Thanks only I can see that

[@eunicestone838]

Learned this in middle school. Do they not teach this anymore?

[@Squatch_FERF]

The confusing part is that youre reading the 39° latitude but youre using the longitude line, and the 95° longitude is using the horizontal line. Idk why its confusing

[@russellregimbal3812]

LOST ME WHEN HE SAID EARTH IS A SPHERE,..... THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE HACK/ FRAUD,..... EARTH IS FLAT AND STATIONARY I CAN PROVE THAT ALL DAY EVERYDAY,..... I WOULDN'T USE THIS SCHOOL IF IT WAS THE ONLY ONE,...... RUSS IS A BOLD FACED LIAR HE WILL TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN SOON TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT ""MARK MY WORDS""" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYKmiYdopdCUpNU

[@hankheim8234]

Longitude is East to West & Latitude is North to South.

[@nennettejosefam.peaflor5520]

latitude east to west? , longitude north to south?

[@califpv]

I don't get how we're calling it latitude, but counting up on the longitude line and vise versa ? Isn't clicking for me

[@GoldSealFlight]

It can be confusing. Latitudes are measured from the equator to the poles. The only reason that lines of longitude are involved is because that's where the tic-marks are shown. Think of them as a ladder.

[@00WhiteBlade]

Dear god, why do they list it as 98.5W on the exam instead of W98°30' ?! It's blatant obfuscation.

[@evelynjepson5955]

I need a location for 43.0000000 x 79.0000000

[@enderslot467]

you dont have to point it out that ist on my test 🤣🤣🤣 makes me feel exposed

[@digitalpilot6854]

Did you just say the world is not flat? Jk. Thanks for the vid.

[@tbrown3356]

Latitude lines are derived from elevation angle measurements of Polaris. Elevation angles require a horizontal plane (flat earth). Welcome to flat earth!!!

[@GoldSealFlight]

If the earth was flat, the "elevation angles" (declination) would be the same everywhere. Your suggestion requires a spherical earth.

[@tbrown3356]

@@GoldSealFlight That's a fallacy. You have nothing to back your baseless assertion that elevation angles of stars don't change with distance on a flat surface. You cannot measure elevation angles without flat earth geometry. All stars drop 1° every 69 statute miles away from the geographical position of the star measured on a flat earth, not a curved baseline (globe). You cannot measure an elevation angle with a curved baseline (globe).

[@GoldSealFlight]

Just how far away from the earth do you think the star Polaris is???

[@tbrown3356]

@@GoldSealFlight Celestial navigation doesn't require knowing the actual height of stars. We use elevation angles to get the distance from the geographical position of stars. Elevation angles require flat earth geometry. You cannot measure an elevation angle with a curved baseline (globe).

[@GoldSealFlight]

Correct. Celestial navigation doesn't require knowing the distance of stars is because they are all so unimaginably far away. If you think that a star's elevation changes when moving toward it or away from it on a flat surface, that star would have to be very close. Regarding the rest of your comment about angles measured from a curved surface, look up the word "tangent". So, back to my previous question. How far away from earth do you believe Polaris is?

[@annehughes2620]

There is only one t in longitude, not two. It’s not longtitude.
