This was exactly what I was looking for with no BS. Thanks!

[chloepopilchak]

These have been confusing for so long to me and this was a great explanation!

[noojie]

thank you so much, liz! had no idea how to get the right course with this thing but this has made it very clear!

Great presentation. Covers everything. No more, no less.

[AFFECTIngclips]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND I HAD A DEFECTIVE PLOTTER

[IXcerberusXI]

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for!

[scottdickson]

Brilliant! a welcome review, with thanks from an old pilot.

[xhsoefo]

Thanks this was a great concise easy to understand explanation and demonstration

Excellent information Liz. I sure hope that's an erasable marker, unless you have several copies of the chart...lol.

[Stumpchunkman]

I can’t figure out how you’re saying “longitude.”

[flysport_tedder]

I took a permanent sharpie and crossed out all of the "weird" scales on the plotter. I won't need the WAC and the cognitive overhead is too high for the others as well.

So, how do you remove the line you drew on the sectional chart? They look to be expensive maps.

[courtneysawyer]

Does the protractor part need to be at 0 at the top middle?

[masterg]

great video, but what can i do if my plotter doesnt have the inner scale numbers, i have a CP-R PLOTTER, hope your answer thx.

[nelsonmuntz]

Normally I would just use that thing to draw planes...now I'll be using it to fly them.

[survivalhealthandhealingtv]

Slow down a bit and give and show more details...that would have to be some close'up camera work...you are very likable just don't rush the lesson so that most new student pilots get it the first time...hope that helps?

[wild_cumulus_cloud]

What if I want to draw a straight line between two airports and my scale is not long enough? Any idea?
