Walk Around And Preflight | BAA Training Tecnam P2002JF

[@billyomara538]

Very good video im picking up alot from you thank you keep them coming

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you - there's still a few videos to come from my training!

[@Mike-co1fd]

Loving these videos mate! I did my PPL in that exact same aircraft, I'm sure you're loving it :D

[@PilotJonathan]

Nice! It's a fun plane to fly ✈️

[@josephciobanu8768]

Good job Jonathan 👏

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you!

[@simonthug7866]

Nice vid👍🏼 right out of the book

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you! ✌️

[@AlbertoPirrotta]

Great jobs, good pilot !

[@PilotJonathan]

Thanks!

[@glennwatson]

Mass and balance is usually something I would do before I head to the aircraft. Tip for students out there, if you are new to the aircraft you can check the aircraft's pilot operating handbook (POH) for the recommended procedures. Different aircraft have slightly different walkaround procedures. Flight schools often add additional checks as part of their walkaround.

[@PilotJonathan]

Yup, it is also our procedure to complete mass and balance and performance calculations before leaving the briefing room! And if I remember correctly our procedures are almost directly out of the manual, but it's definitely a useful tip when flying new planes!

[@pilotkarlo1564]

hello! nice video! btw what is the name of the song at the start?

[@PilotJonathan]

Hi, thanks! The intro song is called This World Is Yours by Gyom

[@protihex9905]

Great vid Always check the seat. If it's mounting breaks on takeoff it can kill you.

[@PilotJonathan]

The seat in the Tecnam is actually only mounted on an angled rail - so if it were broken you'd notice very quickly whilst adjusting it, there's nothing really more you can visually check 😉 But good tip in general, don't want it moving around for sure!

[@protihex9905]

@@PilotJonathan Also I guess uhm , bring snacks, you never know if you'll get stuck in a holding pattern or something.

[@PilotJonathan]

Haha, I suppose, yeah - although even a diversion here doesn't take more than 30 minutes, so it should be survivable!

[@A.hdh.]

I am really amazed by the effort you give to produce your videos. Thank you! I'd like to ask one question. Since I, myself would like to apply to the BAA as well, what are the math and physics topics I should give most attention to? (I am a 12th grader)

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you for the praise! It's tough to say really, but as far as I remember for maths it was mainly simple calculations and some easy problems like calculating distance and speed and working with graphs, physics it's anything that might have to do with aviation really, I think gravity, lift, but I honestly can't remember exactly, sorry!

[@A.hdh.]

@@PilotJonathan well thank you anyway! I believe application exams to the BAA consist of similar topics. Are they though?

[@PilotJonathan]

I would say they're fair, not too tough and not too easy!

[@A.hdh.]

@@PilotJonathan understood. Thanks!

@@PilotJonathan thats nice to hear about the different topics in maths and physics needed for aviation

[@Thewanderer738]

I have a question , just to let you know.

[@PilotJonathan]

Which is? 😂

[@cmtetaboaco]

Why the airline uniforme?????

[@PilotJonathan]

It's not - it's the schools uniform, mandatory to wear it

[@cmtetaboaco]

@@PilotJonathan that’s the kind of school I’d never fly in!

[@PilotJonathan]

@cmtetaboaco Good thing nobody forces you then!

[@heyitsmekj9]

I'd probably break my arms trying to turn that propeller lmao. 😆😭

[@PilotJonathan]

It was sooo stuck as well, since the engine was basically frozen after a few days on the ground - I've never experienced it like that before 😂

[@heyitsmekj9]

I always thought it's pretty easy to turn, guess working out could really help. 😂💪 Anyway, how did you do the thumbnail though?

[@PilotSelles]

Very nice video like always! If I have to say an objection, it would be to animate the video a little more. Otherwise perfect

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you! Could you explain what you mean by animate? Like more explanation graphics?

[@PilotSelles]

@@PilotJonathan Sure! I mean with music, more edited… but very good video!!

[@PilotJonathan]

Okay, thanks for the feedback! ✌️ There's going to be a very edited video with music soon as well 😉

[@TheNautliev98]

I'd be more careful manually cranking the prop like that. Remember, always treat the prop like a live one. There are certain techniques on how to turn the prop safely.

[@PilotJonathan]

I'm happy to learn, so how would I do it more safely? What I've been told was that it's not actually an issue with these particular planes due to the design of the ignition, but I've always found it a bit scary!

[@TheNautliev98]

@@PilotJonathan kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4LQYZuceqqGbNE Here is a video for your question, please watch it to the end. Blue skies.

[@PilotJonathan]

Thanks for sending that and sorry for seeing it so late - KZbin considered it spam. I get the points they're making in the video and I'll keep them in mind, thanks!

[@SeanDuffyProductions]

I was also scared of turning the prop when I first started learning in the Tecnam Sierra, but have heard that the geared design of the Rotax 912 engine means there's really no way it can start up from hand cranking it. Of course you should still ensure the mags are off and key is removed, but you need to handle this prop every time you do your pre-flight so there's not much point being scared of it! Hand-propping for the purpose of doing a hand-start is different from turning the prop to pump the oil.

[@PilotJonathan]

That's what we were told as well, with less technical detail, thanks for that additional information! I've gotten very used to it by now as well, and it's part of our procedure to make sure the keys are extracted and mags off before touching the propeller

[@DRAGRIFF-s5k]

I also want to be a pilot but I don't know how I will afford the cost😓😵

[@PilotJonathan]

It is very tricky, that's true, however let's see how the industry develops - in the past airlines have also paid for the training!

[@DRAGRIFF-s5k]

@@PilotJonathan bro is there any Bank loan for pilot training

[@PilotJonathan]

I'm not sure, there are some banks that did it in the past, but you can just ask your bank as well!
