VATSIM VFR Circuit Tutorial in MSFS | JustFlight PA28 Arrow III - Full Tutorial and vPilot Setup

[@patrickdrives]

This is pure gold. I had the brilliant idea of turning auto sub titles on to help me note down all the key phrases. My favourite is at about 11:04 "taxi the whole point fox drop one fire the undone apron". This makes a lot of sense, the apron would be undone if it got fired by dropping one... In all seriousness, very useful guide, thank you!

[@ZainSyed]

You actually went ahead with a proper tutorial.. Good one..

[@BritishAvgeek]

Easier to explain and demonstrate too 😃 hopefully everyone finds it helpful and informative

[@legodude5889]

I cant get enough of this plane. Also, I love ur vids. Keep up the great content

[@BritishAvgeek]

it's great to fly! Thanks for the kind words too - glad you enjoy the content!

[@gridiman4562]

Great video! Exactly what I needed to know :)

[@BritishAvgeek]

perfect! glad you asked for it! :)

[@stevenbarkess7791]

V helpful, thanks. I need to see how to show text on screen too so I can note the call signs and practice!

[@BritishAvgeek]

Inside vPilot, click settings and one of the options shows a menu of tick boxes - tick "Show incoming messages in simulator" :)

Thanks for these videos. They are super helpful to a new VATSIM pilot who’s slowly finding their way back into aviation after a life changing injury. I’m hoping to fly a real PA-28 via a disability flight charity in the future. The sim has helped me to learn the basis of the aircraft and rebuild my confidence in procedures and processes. Even if it does feel a little yelling clear prop sat at my desk :) Thanks again for all your videos. Your style and approach is very accessible and engaging. I was wondering if you have real life flight experience or ambitious to gain a PPL etc in the future?

[@andrewsanderson1235]

Nice tutorial. Are you planning to do a cross-country VFR tutorial which would be very helpful.

[@BritishAvgeek]

I am indeed!

[@jamieknight326]

+1 on a cross country VFR tutorial :) (I couldn’t see one in the playlists but perhaps I missed it. KZbin makes it tricky to find stuff!)

[@jguthauser]

Very useful video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about VFR Circuits flight and also how to fill in all the boxes in vPilot. My first time in Vastim is going to be less stressful now :). Have a lovely day !

[@BritishAvgeek]

Great to hear! Check out all my other tutorials if you want to learn IFR on Vatsim!

[@jguthauser]

@@BritishAvgeek Will surely do, thanks!

[@MrHughes500]

Really good video. Thanks.

[@melonade8626]

Morning, great job here. If you wanted to do a tutorial with live controllers and uncontrolled airspace we have Gloucester and Kemble open on Saturday for some training with the VA I fly for.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Ah I would love to but sadly I'm working!! Perhaps another time

[@morid1n]

Could you do this but online at a semi-busy airport?

[@dengladesmiley5467]

Where did you find the charts for the circuit?

[@BritishAvgeek]

real paper charts - the UK particularly is bad for online charts certainly for VFR

[@yelsew.8]

xd help for gridiman what a legend

[@BritishAvgeek]

Makes it easier than explaining if I can show him a tutorial I made! 😎

[@kevincusack5671]

I noticed that you use "GPR" as the shorthand callsign. Out here in the colonies we would use "SPR" as the shorthand, both real life and Vatsim. My opinion is that the "G" is pretty well understood as the first letter in a British callsign (C in Canada and N in the US), so pretty well redundant. Is the convention different in the UK? Do you know if it's different in continental Europe?

[@BritishAvgeek]

It's similar in Europe to the UK - I guess in the US it would be similar but if the reg was N1234C it would just be N-4C shortened? You'd know better than me!

[@kevincusack5671]

@@BritishAvgeek Over here the shorthand would be 34C.

[@kevincusack5671]

@@BritishAvgeek I flew a C-182P call sign CGMGW and the shorthand was always MGW.

[@kevincusack5671]

@@BritishAvgeek I'm being picky here, so no offense intended. I clicked on "like" and have subscribed in the past.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@kevincusack5671 ahhh yes - that rings a bell actually... certainly no offence taken either it's good to know - I've never flown in the US so things like that I don't pick up on 🙂 It's definitely a US thing. In the UK the callsign convention is the G identifier plus the last 2 letters as I show in this video. If two similar Regs are present then they have to use the full reg.

[@rhysharrison9058]

What is this gps called cause I don’t have that one on my just flight pa28

[@BritishAvgeek]

it's in my PA28 tutorials - GTN750 maybe? Can't quite remember now - I've done a whole video on it

[@aviator9884]

Where did you get these charts from?

[@BritishAvgeek]

For the UK they're on the NATS website in eAIP

[@aviator9884]

Thank you!

[@alexandergalfano3187]

I learned to fly IFR before VFR on Vatsim 😂

[@BritishAvgeek]

IFR is actually MUCH simpler to learn to be fair!

[@yelsew.8]

first yes ik i left two comments lmao

[@ThomasGrillo]

I just purchased that aircraft, and it appears they've fixed the wonky takeoff/landings. Very sorry you had to experience that in recording. I've also only just installed VATSim, and have yet to do a flight with it. So much to learn. LOL Thanks for the video. :)

[@swflKVNC]

This PA28 series is wonderful, my favorite Aircraft. Thank you

[@BritishAvgeek]

You're welcome! It's a great aircraft!

[@RomanBershadsky]

What is that GPS? I thought there are only Garmin 100,530 and 530+430 options? This is something else...

[@BritishAvgeek]

There are lots of great options in the JustFlight PA28 for MSFS! :)

[@glennog]

Just found this channel (no idea why, I've been watching flight sim videos for years). I don't want to be 'that guy', and I know this is super critical, but you wouldn't abbreviate your callsign until the controller has - so if they reply G-OSPR you would reply with the full callsign too. Only when they call you G-PR can you do the same. And when speaking to a new controller you always give your full callsign. Of course this is the point at which you tell me you know this and that you're a pilot in real life too :D

[@BritishAvgeek]

ahaha well firstly welcome! thanks for watching the video - and you guessed it I do know this haha, though don't think I mention it in the video to be fair so great for you to explain it here

[@djaxil]

Is there a section on the eAIP I'm missing in regards to finding the vrps in airport charts mate? Great video as always

[@BritishAvgeek]

No, not missing anything. Sadly most VRPs are in printed vfr pilot maps like pooleys... But if you go to the websites or Google it you can usually find them :)

[@djaxil]

@@BritishAvgeek ah cheers matey will look into it. Worst case scenario I just need to explain to the missus why I'm buying vfr charts 😂😂😂
