These videos were a crucial part of my self-study for part 107. I passed all weather questions after watching these over and over. Thank you!

[@ChauKEith]

Michael Wesley I’m going take the test too, good luck for me.

[@Sky_Burger88]

@@ChauKEith Does this video series cover all of the content that would be on the knowledge test for the FAA exam? In other words, if I watch all of these videos am I receiving all of the content I need to sit down and pass the test?

[@V-Ry]

@@Sky_Burger88 No, make sure you combine these videos with reading and studying the knowledge test prep books.

So kind of you to share these. Much appreciated!

[@kennyw871]

Great presentation. This information will never become dated. Thank you.

That tropopause isn't getting the recognition it deserves.

The best Chanel for pilot knowledge👍🏻🤟🏻

Excellent. Essential. Articulate. Appreciated.

thank you. still relevant in CPL

[@lindaclark6558]

Fantastic explanation! Thank you!

[@cherfieldm]

Thank you learning a lot from this video.

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

There were alot of words to define. The hard part was understanding the hemispheres which has low and high pressure. Plus the convected currents at night and day

[@abo0odm.n949]

Thank you for the awesome an explanation

[@alr5373]

Finally an easy to follow tutorial that doesn’t put me to sleep.

Thank you very much

Hey, wait a minute. You're just giving us the cliff notes from "The Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge". The illustrations are the same ones.

Wow this is pretty neat

oh my god soooo good

[@BossSfeedy]

thank you

[@eugenegussenhoven181]

From the weather presentation I disagree with notion "Coriolis force"; This should be restated as "Coriolis Effect". If an aircraft, mass of air or object is launched outward from the center of the sphere, the ground under the sphere moves therefore creating the perception of a curvilinear path when in reality the ground merely moved. The phrase "Coriolis Force" further needs to be corrected in many FAA publications. Otherwise this is a great series to aid teaching primary flight students.

[@Sky_Burger88]

🛩.Thanks for a great video. Here are a few questions for anyone who's a pilot. Can you help me understand? On the FAA Knowledge Test I know there are 60 questions and have 120 Minutes to answer them. What about the oral questions during the check ride? How many questions are there? What are the topics? How much time do I have to answer them? What materials can I use to answer these questions if any?

[@atlantisautosales3172]

GS Wing Nut read ACS

[@Sky_Burger88]

@@atlantisautosales3172 I just read up to the mid point in the ACS description document and havent been able to answer the question yet. Will have to continue tomorrow I guess.

[@samdamanzo]

GS Wing Nut look up a private pilot oral if you are still wondering. There is at least one full oral test on KZbin.

11:28 that graphic for Low pressure is wrong ! (if it is supposed to be in N hemisphere even the narrator is aware of that.) Arrows need to be curved in from the other side. Iimagine tips of the arrows lengthened for a bit and imagine how is would spin. Clockwise again just like the H area.

[@joshuacortes2414]

No bro. Think of a hurricane for Low pressure graphic. They spin the same way. Hurricanes are a low pressure phenomenon.

[@DirkLarien]

@@joshuacortes2414 I disagree this is how coriolis effect works and how it affects that air mass behavior. Do not forget we are looking at surface or near surface altitude. With low pressure zone air from around it will be rushing towards the center to equalize it. Example - we are in north hemisphere and air coming from North you can think of it as this: It has lower (west to east-earth rotation) initial velocity compared to air closer to the equator. and when you move it from north to south it will lag behind because in that region it is slower then rest of the air mass in that region. So it will curve Westerly. For air coming from the South to North it will have higher rotational velocity therefore it will appear faster then air mass in the middle. Thus it will be appear to overtake that local air - curving East. For W and E directions i like to use slightly different analogy. Imagine our planet as a carousel. If it spins slow seats will be slightly swung outwards due to centrifugal force. And faster it spins more swung outwards your carousel seats will be. Air rushing from West to East will be adding to its overall rotational speed therefore it will (like seats swung outwards) curve towards equator. Air rushing from East to West will be slowing its overall rotational speeds therefore will curve towards closer pole(we are in north hemisphere - therefore north). Fun fact: For this very reason most of the rocket launches do shortly after start turn to the East because you are adding to your initial rotating velocity - therefore it is most efficient. Hope this helped.

[@joshuacortes2414]

@@DirkLarien I know the Coriolis effect well. Nevertheless, the graphic @11:28 is correct showing low pressure air rising inward counterclockwise (cyclonic) and High pressure air descending outward clockwise (anticyclonic) These are facts.

[@DirkLarien]

@@joshuacortes2414 you just said it yourself. Cyclonic = counterclockwise. Look at those blue lines again it is drawn wrong. It looks misleading due to lines stating out curved already. Imagine them starting straight pointing towards the middle. and then curving to produce counterclockwise motion. It would be the other way. Look just pick a pencil and make those blue arrows longer. you will see it yourself they are producing clockwise motion.

Thanks for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one off product for how to get pilot license minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam at very last got cool success with it.
