The Biggest Announcement I've Ever Made

[@christianosuna9966]

Next IFR, please! Thank you Charlie!

[@bellafaith1065]

Heading over to the waitlist now!!! These look great! Thank you!

[@Aerius_21]

i will buy day one…please tell me your working on IFR too!

[@chrispankey807]

Good for you man, congrats!

[@ericteneyck8691]

Wow, that was a big job! Looking forward to using them.

[@chiibekwe7665]

Congrats! Can't wait to get these and the IFR ones when they come out!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you!!

[@brettd3337]

While starting to study for my private (still in the middle of it) I looked for a good set of flashcards, and never found what I was looking for. Glad to see this and I can’t wait to get my hands on a set. I joined the waitlist. Also thank you for making the content you make. It’s helped me greatly in my pursuit of aviation. Your video about taking one small step convinced me to order a logbook and put my name in it, and I’ve been broke since… oh I mean training since. I even bought a plane! Keep up the great work.

[@Vanta.Flight]

I will anxiously await the release! What a huge bank of information condensed into a useful study resource. Thank you for your hard work on this project, I'm sure it will bless many!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@gtm624]

Congratulations! This is awesome! I just joined the list before commenting. Lol. I’m about to start 0-hero in January. I just watched this from my hotel room in mass. I’m up here for the pre buy insp on a 1958 IFR 175 that I’m buying. This came at a perfect time!!! Brilliant work it looks amazing! Cant wait to get a set. I think you’re going to crush your projections!!

[@BO-dc4xg]

This is great! Looking forward to buying them maybe even giving them as gifts. I purchased the cards you recommended a few years back and yours look way more detailed, singular and easier to use! Thank you! And Blessings

[@BrianDunn-w4t]

This looks awesome, thank you

[@liljohnsonusmc]

Definitely joined the wait list, if you do IFR I will buy those also

[@txaviationimages]

I'm 11 days late but I just signed up for the flashcards! I can't wait!!

[@geckoslap]

IFR Next?

[@masonicboone]

Just got on the waitlist. Can’t wait!

[@Brand_One]

A few months ago I was thinking. It would be nice if there was some study flash cards. This is perfect. Looking forward to getting them.

[@KevinSmithAviation]

That’s a great idea Charlie. Thank you for putting in the incredible effort to make these. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️

[@BenWeeksBonanzaPilot]

This is excellent! What a labor of love this must have been!

[@treypayne4016]

Wow! Very nice. Looking forward to placing an order.

[@kmstaff7]

I see the value in flashcards in keeping my aeronautical knowledge current. Thank you for this!

[@Eleven11Aviation]

Boom!! happy to have been one of the first to see these!! Killing it Charlie. Love it!!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you!

[@MarkPoullos-v4f]

These are awesome! I thought of doing something like this for different Instrument approaches. Nothing on this scale. When I worked for Collins Radio we created a set of flash cards for work flow testing of Navigation instruments.

[@realestateoscarbarragan]

This is such a coincidence, I was looking into flash cards from another source. Im curious on how yours will come out! It's exciting!

[@robbob8617]

You didn't mention the price of them. How much do they cost?

[@diegopabs]

I’m guessing 200 ish

[@valdemar7986]

he will decide based on a number of people joining the wait list. sort of elon musk’s business strategy. you cannot expect people being straight with you nowadays.

[@AshleyWincer]

That is very cool indeed, thank-you..

[@OnTwoWheelz]

This is amazing. I have my PPL, but I can already see how this can be very beneficial. You are completely correct, there are a lot of things that we just memorize for a test. Looking forward to getting my CFI, I am often wondering how I can be able to teach new students when I can't remember everything. This will help out a lot. Thanks for your hard work and I know many of us would like to see something like this for Instrument as well.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you! And yep, instrument will be next!

[@AndrewCagleFilm]

This is what I did to prep for my private pilot oral. I was reading through the ASA oral exam guide book and realized I needed to interact with the information. I must have copied over half that book onto index cards. It was key in me being prepared for my check ride. Planning to do the same for my instrument check ride. Illustrations would have been even more helpful. Great project!

[@GusHeck]

One of the biggest things to hit with this is V speeds. A real explanation of each would be super helpful. There are some that are defined in the official docs with unclear/stacked terminology such that you can't understand the explanation without knowing other stuff. Phrases like "defined configuration", and "assumed to stall" need better context. The answers side should convey understanding as well as the official phrase for a test answer. Also indication of which ones are relevant for SE Land, vs ME or Commercial Jets would be good.

[@hefeibao]

I created my own flashcards for self-study, but these look so, so much better. Can't wait to get ahold of them (yes, the BFR is coming up).

[@timinaz3738]

On the waitlist! Hope you’re finding time to fly.

[@funtimetoo1]

Great job. Becoming fluent is the key. I'll send my students this link.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Awesome, thanks so much!! I'm glad they will be helpful.

[@Dana_Bellamy]

This is really cool! I will definitely be buying a set. Originally, I thought that you had made a flashcard app. Maybe that will be the next thing that you will do. Then, you can bring it anywhere to learn. :) Great job!

[@roddog24]

Amazing work! Your passion for aviation shines through. As aviation evolves, will you be updating the cards?

[@christianlogsdon6483]

That’s great but…I’m on IFR now. Sure hope you are working on those too because these cards look awesome! When I was doing PPL I made flashcards and used an electronic app. Didn’t love that method and would prefer a premade set like you have made probably

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Yep, those will be next. Thanks!

[@kyliepug753]

Price?

[@TheLucas2696]

There have been numerous studies that found that we as humans understand and retain knowledge better from printed (physical) media compared to electronic media, so I think this will be an invaluable tool.

[@tomkeating6021]

Nice idea good for someone that has studied the whole subject and allow them to help review but all that said, IMHO paper cards are a thing of the past, would prefer it to be a digital version. Other concern would be, could replaced by a LLM with the whole subject. Best of luck with it.

[@Popsimath]

I need to get this on my Xmas list

[@bittnerbs]

I’ve always used brainscape to create my own flash cards.

[@brianberezowski5352]

YESSSSSSS, so AWESOME. Although I'm Canadian, I would imagine the majority of the "study flash cards" you are making will be applicable. Those few areas that are different I should easily be able to modify for the Canadian Regulations. Looking forward to picking up a set. THANK YOU for sharing your expertise and passion for aviation. Love your videos, entertaining and educational. C L E A RRRR !!!! LOL Wishing you light winds and clear skies from CYQT.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you! Yes, most of it would still apply minus some of the regulations and things. The systems, weather, physics, etc. should all still be relevant :)

[@TheSaint135]

Just joined the wait list ❤

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Awesome!

[@adamcorby804]

Great stuff! Will come in handy for flight reviews and just keeping handy to review on an on going basis. Way better than an electronic version. I too am old school 😂. Just joined the waitlist. As a career Finance dude who is also a pilot, be sure to set the proper price point. Curious if you surveyed what folks would be willing to pay. Personally….$29.99. Hopefully it is in that range. Can’t wait.

[@gimblehousin4198]

Hey Charlie, my brother and I are gearing up for the ppl written and flight test. These look amazing. Will you please let me know when I can get a set or 2 of these cards. I'll join the waitlist. Thank you.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Awesome! Yes, if you join the waitlist you'll be the first to know when they are ready.

[@blakeb5016]

For clarification, aren't both the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and the FAR/AIM annual books? How will the flashcards be "used for years of study" if the information on them comes from books that are updated annually? Love the videos and content. Great work, keep it up.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

The PHAK isn't updated annually but the FARs sometimes do in minor ways. They don't change materially though and I'll issue updates in the future as minor things change. Really the only stuff that is changing is some technology (which is slow to change) and there are minor regulation changes and stuff. For example, the rules on BasicMed just changed a tiny bit but I got those into the first edition of the cards.

[@blakeb5016]

@AirplaneAcademy thank you for clarifying!

[@Random83]

Looks great, but I’d only purchase a digital version - that way I never lose it, they don’t get worn out, and I could study them anywhere

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Noted! I might be doing that in the future. I wanted to get these in people's hands first and then ask what they would like next so that I'm not guessing.

[@marcmurawski398]

Nice work

[@haxi52]

I really appreciate the effort to making the physical cards, but I would be very interested if there was a mobile app, so I could have them everywhere I go. Looks like it is going to be an amazing product.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you! I'm considering that as well. I want to get these in the hands of folks and then figure out exactly what everyone wants next so that I'm not guessing.

[@docpalazola491]

Wow...what a great way to learn through fluency.

[@baomao7243]

A really good idea. 👍

[@willwatson1523]

Awesome

[@paulnagel8161]

Sweet!

[@TM3Life]

I've passed the written exam and have had to put off my Check ride and the oral scares the crap out of me. Are these good for that or should I be looking at something else? Much appreciated!

[@CascadiaAviation]

I bet you learned a ton making the cards too. Got plans to get your CFI?

[@AirplaneAcademy]

I did. And yep, I'm sort of working on that now. I realized I needed to re-learn and memorize all of this stuff anyways for CFI and I had to build my own study guide for that so these flashcards are kind of my study guide that I made by hand.

[@marshallgorski5108]

going to make an app too?

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thinking about it

[@paulhorn2665]

Very good!

[@CheetoFaceDonConvict]

IFR please… 🙏

[@oscardiazjr.5826]

We need the IFR

[@carlcostas6072]

I’m going to buy these simply based on the trust that Charlie has built with me.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you!! :)

[@EchoKilo]

I’m in.

[@Lext_Nevel]

Getting surgery on my ankle soon and then I’ll be in the sky 😅 I need this

[@chipilot]

We pilots go above and beyond to make money to keep flying haha. Congratulation what a great idea!

[@alk672]

People become fluent in other things by doing them consistently and correctly. That's how you can tell which FARs are useful and which ones are bullshit. If you've been flying semi-regularly between flight reviews you'll remember the radio protocol for entering Delta airspace no problem, but there's no way you'll remember the three altitudes for oxygen requirements (sometimes even if you do occasionally fly with oxygen), or minimum VFR cloud clearances in class Golf above 10 thousand feet at night in a helicopter. Flash cards are exactly the wrong way to remember things - they are indeed just preparing for a test. If you don't use it - you'll lose it, flash cards only help with rote memorization, and only for as long as you keep drilling them in.

[@FlyWithRick]

Nice 🤩 i want one ❤ gr crew PH-HMS the Netherlands

[@aero3085]

I’ve already got em, 6000 3X5 cards I made to get me through: Private, Instrument and Commercial. Make me an offer

[@nancywilkes9830]

Hey Charlie, I’m a flight crew training instructor for SWA. Reach out to me when you can, I would like to chat with you. Thank you.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Hi there - I'm not sure how to do that on KZbin but feel free to reach out at airplaneacademy.com/contact

[@patrickcoleman6088]

So these are free? Cause you didnt mention cost/price?

[@jerrodl]

Available for somewhere between free and a million dollars?

[@MartinVeneroso]

I hate to break your rice bowl, but much of the value in flash cards comes from the process of making them, including both the thinking about what to include and the process of actually creating the physical objects. Buying someone else's cards won't have as much benefit.

[@aaronbrown6266]

If they're based on the PHAK and FARs, they apply to all pilots.

[@MartinVeneroso]

@@aaronbrown6266 Yes, and those pilots would be better off making their own study aids.

[@olympiashorts]

@@MartinVenerosoI think you meant “process” rather than “prices” in your original post. Also “comes” rather than “cubes”

[@MartinVeneroso]

@@olympiashorts You are absolutely correct! In my defense, I was typing on my phone, and it seems I got bitten by autocucumber - no, wait, autocowreck - no, wait, autocorrect! I hope you don't mind that I went back and edited my original comment to correct my mistakes.

[@adamcorby804]

Why recreate someone’s else’s work?

[@AdoRec]

Can’t wait 🥹🥹 thank you for what you do for all of us ❤

[@Yachtnerd]

Fantastic! I love human learning! What Fun. There is no better way to learn a subject than to put yourself in a position to teach it to someone else. And 100% right! "memorizing" leads to shallow, short term knowledge. But taking the information and working with it, organizing it into your own structure, and creating a new way to condense and present it will lead to understanding. Best of luck with the cards! I think they will be a huge success.
