Just to reiterate what has already been said, such great content and understandable explanations! I've been paying for online ground school and they just vomit information at me with no explanation. I find myself watching a video, then coming to your channel just to understand what i just watched. Keep doing what you're doing, you are making better and safer pilots! Providing a very valuable service that will directly benefit many pilots, and passengers!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you so much! At some point I’m hoping to eliminate the need for online ground courses all together. 🤞

[@120Pilot]

Thank you so much! These are the best aviation training videos on KZbin. Keep up the great work, it won't be long now before the KZbin algorithm catches on and your videos will start being recommended to a wider audience and you'll be getting a lot more views.

You’re welcome! And I REALLY appreciate you saying that! These videos are a lot of work, but I know that a lot of people are getting good training from them, so I’m going to keep pushing forward!

Well explained. For sure I will have to review the video multiple times. Even if it is all known, it is good to have it summarized so well.

[@flygy481]

Hey pal, absolutely love your videos. Thank you! ... I'm really having trouble understanding what you said, though, about these turning errors. I actually looked in the PHAK and it's seems you've described UNOS backwards. They way I see it; turning to north, the compass lags so you need to do the same in order for it to catch up/so that you don't fly beyond your intended heading. Turning south, again, the compass jumps ahead so you should go past the intended heading to compensate because the compass is way ahead of you. I have a few different sources of material laying in front of me that all seem to be agreeing with what I'm thinking. Unless, I'm truly out to lunch. I appreciate your time, bud.

[@flygy481]

'If a turn is made to a northerly heading from any direction, the compass indication when approaching north lags behind the turn. Therefore, the rollout of the turn is made before the desired heading is reached' - PHAK

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you! It looks like I did make a mistake here. All the examples are correct, BUT when I said that the compass will undershoot turns TO the north. That is wrong. It will undershoot turns FROM the north. It will overshoot turns FROM the south. Because of that YOU should Undershoot turns TO the North and Overshoot turns TO the south. I can’t believe I messed that up. Sorry about that. I need to get that fixed as soon as I can

Hey. Love your videos!! I had a question - In minute 3, How can the upper side on the magnetic compass be with more weight if it pushed up? How is it not the other side with more weight? (the one that pushed down) Thanks!

[@yclept9]

Supposedly you can use the mag compass as an emergency turn indicator (if your T&B goes out or you don't have one) by flying a S heading, at least in smooth air.

[@FreePilotTraining]

That’s cool! I’m going to research that and maybe make a video! Thanks for the comment

[@proper2979]

I just want to get this right glass instrument panels with a compass headings usually automatically calculates the magnetic north for you ,to true north so you don’t have to subtract going east and add going west?

[@richardmauch1042]

Learning a lot but this one might have burnt me. Lol I’ve watched close to 6 hours of your videos today so that could be it. I really hope I’m shown this in plane while flying. I’m a hands on kinda guy. 🥺

[@FreePilotTraining]

Don’t worry. A lot of this will really click when you get in the plane. To be honest, some of this stuff (like this video) you won’t use too much. But you have to know how to do it for the checkride.

[@nathanhyland]

Not sure if it's just me but your drawings of N being red when you show the globe are different when you put the magnet on the compass. That also makes me not sure of where the heavy part is, when looking at the illustrations.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks for the heads up. I probably need to remake this video at some point to make things more clear

[@MahmoudMohammed-nu5pg]

do I have to use this compass card everytime I make a turn ? or it's just important when it comes to update my heading indicator ? Thanks for the great content .

[@FreePilotTraining]

Nope just use it to update or when your heading indicator is inop

[@Slash1066]

One can't help wondering if there was a better design for the compass since all the knowledge was geared around the shortcomings of the design!

Maybe you could be the guy to invent it!

[@rustyclam238]

[@peterdavila3045]

Great video, thank you. The part towards the end of the video discussing magnetic deviation. When working on your flight plan, the Deviation only applies when flying using the magnetic compass correct? It would not apply when calculating the needed magnetic heading to use with an HSI in a glass cockpit, correct?

[@FreePilotTraining]

No problem! It applies when you use the compass and an analog Heading Indicator because you use the magnetic compass to set the HI. Digital HSIs use magnetometers

Thank you! I love hearing comments like this! It’s so motivating

[@jaredyounis]

if you are in straight and level flight regardless of your heading; do you still need to correct for compass errors apart from deviation errors.

[@FreePilotTraining]

No. They are typically not a factor in straight and level flight

[@joestevenson5568]

Depends how well/poorly tuned the compass is. Some need corrections even when level - at least they do on boats, can't imagine aircraft are any different.

[@ShadowRap-y5l]

Does the turn affect the heading indicator? Or just the compass.

I scratch my head at this topic. I have a hard time memorizing this. I just know that the compass is only really accurate in straight and level flight. That's when I reset my heading indicator and then I use that.

[@pilotchoi5596]

[@FreePilotTraining]

[@RIB0S0ME]

🚨 3:30 gotto play physics police: it can't be more weight on the left side because the right side is heavier as it is being pulled down more by gravity. However the blue side is likely to have a higher moment of inertia (calculated by integrating mass over distance to the rotation point. This relationship is to the power of three!). Due to the higher moment of inertia the compass can sway more in a turn (moment of inertia is conserved or lost due to friction or conversion to other moment of inertia planes).

[@FreePilotTraining]

Dude, that is the whole premise in dip error. Try reading the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. I’m not beyond making a mistake, but I didn’t just pull this concept out of my butt. It’s a proven concept that’s been around for years

[@RIB0S0ME]
