could've walked there in the time it would take me to figure out this navlog 🙃 Thanks for the video, very helpful!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Hahaha! That's the best response yet. Glad it helped.

Oh my gosh!! I live in Meade and do my flight training out of Dodge!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

I guess that example is pretty pertinent then 😜. Did you do any of the legs mentioned in the video for cross-country flights?

[@chuckmartin5773]

@@PrivatePilotGroundSchool My first short cross country was from Dodge to Pratt. Then later I was short .3 cross country time so went back to Pratt then to Meade and back to Dodge! It was pretty cool seeing you do a flight plan in my home area!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Good to hear! Good luck with training, hopefully these videos help you out.

Hi, thank you for this video. Could you explain how you got the 13%? I'm confused 😢... trying to understand the part about the above standard part. Pleeeease 🙏🏾 thank you!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

That took a while to find...a timestamp would be appreciated next time 😉. You're cruising at 5,500ft in the example. Based on a standard temperature lapse rate (2°C per 1,000ft), the temp is supposed to be +4°C [sea level at 15°]. The winds aloft show +17°C. It is 13°C warmer than standard at our altitude. The performance note (#3) says to "Increase time, fuel and distance by 10% for each 10°C above standard temperature". Our 13°C is 10% + 3%, or 13% above standard. Hope that helped.

Thank you much and yeah, I should've given you a timestamp 😅. Sorry about that, but yes, it did help, a lot! Really appreciate this video.
