I came into this knowing little bits here and there and seeing the length of the video I was like nahh I ain't watching all this, turns out, you make it so interesting im 25+ mins in and I learn so much more and didn't even realize the time! You are a GODSEND

[@grahamhead99]

this guy is great - Im studying for my flight dispatch license - he explains in common language for beginners

[@zeewala1883]

Thank you Pop! I wanted to break it down as easy as possible. I feel like those that teach it, forget how knowledgeable they are. I am no expert, but I tried my level best. Thank you for the like, comment and subscribe! I should be dropping more videos around May!

[@eddyperez5774]

the best person who explains in simple words what you need to know, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@michaelalleyne7245]

Thank you, Sir this is the first time I really understand SID and STAR and all in between.

[@natedavis82]

Finally someone who explained it well. I just got Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and I'm trying to learn everything about IFR flying so I can input the flight plan myself. This is really helpful.

[@adesojiadebisi3477]

He did justice to the topic, and it literally demystified the whole thing ⚡. I got MSFS too, but the rate at which updates are turning up, continuity (in learning, that is) is a bit arduous. I have watched this video a couple of times, and I am trying to replicate the flight on my FSX:SE. I am going for the Airbus 320/321 though ( I saw an A319 flight on Flightaware). I could not find the follow up video for this tutorial, but found another one for Xplane 11 ( KSJC - KPDX ) . Zeewala made it in 2017, and the principles are the same.

[@onestepza]

Greatest IFR planing . No doubt . As instrument student. This is very helpful and useful.

[@jlstika264l3]

No joke this is ez the best tutorial I’ve seen for x plane 11 yet

[@jimle22]

Sir, I will be watching this tutorial more than once. I was afraid to even get into this as I am learning X-Plane navigation. I will not be flying an airliner aircraft until I learn IFR SIDs and STARRs. You did an excellent job explaining everything and made it super simple. I was a student pilot years ago so I have some experience flying small planes but I really want to simulate how the real airline pilots do it following procedures. Retired and really enjoying flying again albeit simulation. With todays technology it is as close to the real thing as it gets without killing yourself in the process. Many thanks for your effort with this video tutorial

[@jimle22]

I am also retired student pilot from many years past. I share the same situation and enjoying learnign about flying like the big guys. God bless.

[@OldSkoolLegend]

FINALLY a tutorial for absolute beginners. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!! EXCELLENTLY explained.

[@user-fz3ch6ij5k]

This is the best tutorial on IFR that I have come across so far. Simple language and detailed step by step guidance. Thank you!

[@davidmichael5573]

The funnel addition made the entire thing make sense. I’m studying for the test now and none of this has made sense until you used the funnel analogy. Thank you.

[@zeewala1883]

I'm glad I could help David! I'll be returning back in May to make more videos! Thank you for the like, comment and subscribe!

[@dutchscrapper2317]

Very well done. Thanks a lot for all the information.

[@summano51]

Wonderful, clear, simple, exaustive!!!

[@pareshrr]

I have looked at so many online videos for sids, stars and mapping out flight plans but Zeewala is the best of all. Hands down. Super simple explanation that anyone can understand. You are amazing at teaching. Thank you so much.

[@jfsnyder15]

Finally a video that explains Sids and Stars that one can understand. Thanks so much! Feel now like I'm making progress with my flight planning Zeewala!

[@atsubeckley3354]

Good Lord the best teacher i have ever come across...step by step tutorials..enough respect to Zeewala

[@1PickJesus]

You'd make a great flight instructor. I otta know, I am one!

[@zeewala1883]

Wow, this means the world to me - thank you so much!

[@Classified_Entertainment]

Great tutorial! Really kickstarted my IFR learning.

[@AUSTIN12345631]

I was ready to give up until I watched this great video, you made it so easy to understand the basics, Thankk you from Victoria Australia

[@davidwebb3134]

Wow bro. I spent a month reading, browsing, searching, viewing everything in google, youtube simple, easy to follow tutorial on how to program the FMC on X-plane 11. Man, I'm telling you, I'm so glad I come across your video. Your explanation is both simple yet clear and with a little sense of humor thrown in there. I can't wait to watch your FMC tutorial. You just earned my subscription bro. Stay safe and healthy in this ungodly pandemic. Peace.

[@michaelmocha]

great explanation thank you very much it helped me a lot hope to see more tutorial videos from you

[@glenaw]

Best explanation ever. I have been searching for this full explanation forever. Everytime I searched I would get this " atc will give you yout sid and star. you can't plan it" problem being is in simulation you don't truly have atc unless you get into other programs. thi not only shows me how to plan for it but also what to expect Great work!

[@Krahamus]

I started playing new Microsoft flight simulator and its a big help understanding how SID and stars works, before it was confusing how pilots get routes, know what altitude, speed they have to maintain, but now i can see everything they input into mcdu or fmc, is based on charts, thank you for this tutorial.

[@quadshot-eventvideography3476]

I don't comment on videos often but your delivery in this lesson is superb. Amazingly communicated and well presented. Thank you.

[@jean-paullepage5534]

Tis is a very simple explanation, that very instructive. Thank you.

[@larissasousa5052]

Hello, Captain. Congratulations for your objective illutrations of STARS and SIDS. Thank you very much. Regards. Larissa.

Absolutely Amazing Tutorial!! I am just getting started into flight simming and this has given me a real boost in my learning, keep up the good work!!

[@georgemissimer2076]

Thumbs up Zee! I'm another step closer to flying on Vatsim. Thank you sir! You're a great teacher!

[@ChristopherDrieberg]

Excellent! I enjoyed that very much. Thanks. Cheers (from Australia)

[@maurell-webb820]

Great explanation! I have a PPL but I’m not IFR rated, but your explanation has been the best I’ve seen. Even the “instructor guys” didn’t make clear the concept of “transitions’ and following the waypoints and the nav aids in sequence.

[@zeewala1883]

Hi Maurell - I don't have my PPL, but I do have some hours under my belt. The main reason I was turned off was because of the fact that my instructor was not clear in his instruction. I am excited to make the return once our world returns to some sort of normality. Your instructor is the key to success and this comment means the world to me. Thank you.

[@bobcarter4343]

Well done. I really learned a lot here. Many thanks for an excellent tutorial.

[@normwright4894]

This is by far the best explanation of SIDs and STARS. Also great introduction to FlightAware and SkyVector. Reason I needed this information is I am new ro Flybywire A320 using SimBrief flightplan loaded through the MCDU. This requires knowledge of SIDs and STARs unlike when you do the flightplanning in the simulator. You came through big time!!!!

[@glencox8070]

Man after all the years flightsimmng you made it click..I appreciate your help

[@phemmypayne1]

Nice Job.... Amazing tutorial

[@franksantiago9366]

Man, I’m new to X-Plane 11 and want to learn about routes. This is by far the easiest most comprehensive tutorial I’ve seen on how to learn this. Thank you so much for providing this to us Flight Sim fans. Keep up the excellent work and dedication. I wish I could give you 5 stars on KZbin, but here they are. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. Frank Seattle, WA

[@OldSkoolLegend]

You should team up with an experienced flight simmer and make a whole video series for beginners like this. There are a lot of flight simmers out there but hardly any who KNOW and UNDERSTAND how and what beginners need to learn. I would buy the course from you for sure.

[@wtzplays7891]

You're a legend bro nice video,explained simply thanks!

[@iamjustinllamas]

Very informative! Finally...all the information in one place!

[@zeewala1883]

Thank you Justin! I love your videos! Keep up the fantastic work and don't forget about me when you become famous!

[@mrfairycake4333]

First time ive understood all that, thank you my friend, you are a STAR!...looking forward so much to your other tutorials building on this one...

Hi Sr., I spend so many time searching a video that explain me very clearly and in "rookie terms" about this concept, and this video is exactly what I need to understand very easy. Thanks a lot Zeewala for the time, I hope you keep going with more tutorials like that. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

I am using FlightAware in 2022. This video is six years old. It is still very useful tutorial. Southwest doesn't fly B733's anymore that I can tell. I'll just use one of their B737's.

[@Jamez345]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was great and love the humor which took away some of my fear and stress about learning this.

oh man its great job no one did it that simple before keep going and hope we can see more videos about long rang flights from country to another including enroute waypoints and please let us know more how we can chose best preferred route by our selfs

[@zeewala1883]

That's a very good idea! Thank you Oda, I will try my best to make another tutorial =)

[@mohamedmaylou5636]

Hey man, my whole life I've tried to understand how pilots planed a route and then flew the same exact planned route. .your video just broke it down for me in 32 mins..I gotta say, I just learned more in the last 32 mins them I have in 38 years of trying to understand what u just expained...thank you for making this video, you make me wanna become a pilot again. ..
