Pitot-Static Instruments

[@ColunaDrone]

The best video explaining about plane's instruments. Period.

[@adamchurvis1]

I know, right? Perfect speed, no trying to be the next Robin Williams, clear and concise instructions, and everything related to practical understanding of basic principles that are easy to understand. Where the hell was this guy when I was in school?!

[@prilep5]

Best use of animation

[@JakeDobyns]

I've had these instruments explained to me by my instructor, by at least three different books, and by Sporty's Online Ground School and this video is the best explanation I've ever seen. Thanks guys!

Why is at video 4:41, when you turn the knob clockwise, the needle goes counter-clockwise, isn’t ALT supposed to indicated clockwise when you turn clockwise on the knob ? But in video it show opposite?…

[@stoobydootoo4098]

​@@reponrepnation3004 No. Imagine the local Mean Sea Level pressure is 30.02"; 1" difference = 1000'. The standard atmosphere which is used in the US above 18,000' is 29.92", and is referred to as FL 180 (to indicate use of the standard datum) In this case the datum zero is 100' above sea level. If you freeze time and instantly turn the knob clockwise to reach 29.92" the pressure indicated in the window will decrease 0.1" and the needle will go anticlockwise by 100'. So if the local pressure is greater than standard, the true altitude is greater than that indicated, and vice versa.

Im studying for my PPL right now, and this video helped me understand the concept more clearly then ever before! thanks for the help :)

[@stephenaviaspace5056]

Very good. It helped me as I was planning to make a paper airplane with paper cabin, cockpit, controls, and working paper engines. It helped me to know/learn more about aviation too.

[@Jakodrums]

literally if there's a collection of these videos to buy I definitively would. This is the best CBT ever made so far. Take my money!

[@yourface4248]

more technical and detailed information here than in flight schools.

[@CarlosAguilar-dj4ph]

YOUR FACE and it’s free!!!

[@zeke7515]

ERAU = Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. They started as a flight school with their roots in the 1920's (still active), but they are a STEM-oriented University with many other degree opportunities other than traditional pilot. Many graduates go on to work in Aviation related industries. Fun fact, JFK learned to fly at Embry-Riddle.

[@U2VR_Channel]

You are talking about bad school. We have additional classes for children (13+) in Russia, children learn all this. Not so beautiful and technologically advanced, on a marker-board, but we give them this information.

I am doing my flight training currently and these videos helped a lot! Thanks from New Zealand

[@AJ-vy9my]

The ability to show how the diaphragm and air move is critical to understanding as opposed to our wrote memorization from 20+ years ago. Great video from a pilot flying for over 20 years.

[@kwerk2011]

This takes me back. Years ago I had to animate an altimeter for the RNZAF, for student pilot training. Being given schematic drawings and being asked to produce a working animation is always a great learning experience, and prompts a lot of research. What's not mentioned is the amazing and minute planetary gearbox that allows the needle to rotate so much relative to the tiny amount of movement generated by the expanding and contracting wafers.

Very informative. It was very good to know airspeed also works WITHOUT fluid unlike I learned in engineering school. Always questioned how leaking issue would be handled in aerobatic flights.

[@sheikhzeeshan8658]

You Explained Everything Beautifully

[@flylikeamber3376]

I though of the acronym “CLAPS VAA” to help me remember this. “CL” is calibrated leak and goes with v (vsi), “A” is aneroid wafer and goes with a (altimeter), “PS” is pitot static and goes with a (airspeed). All you have to remember is that the last a is airspeed since it’s the only instrument that uses the pitot tube. Hope that helped!

[@impulserr]

nice so simple and yet so perfect ;d Love that video, pure knowdledge without bullshit

[@emmetwilkening7819]

Playlist titled Private Pilot PACE but these are CFI level videos. Great job ERAU!!!

[@finniko1995]

Interesting video, even though I don't fly airplanes. Knowing how those parts operate must also be helpful in any situation where those instruments malfunction. For example if the Pitot tube gets frozen, the airspeed indicator will read zero. So then you can troubleshoot that problem by having the heater turned on the tube.
