Thanks for putting this content out. I just leaned the Fenix A320 and would like to get rid of the ribbon assistance but find the larger airports very difficult to navigate.

Been flying ifr since getting into it with msfs20 still found a bunch of helpful info, cheers

Just a quick clarification if you don't mind, and some simmers seem to get this slightly wrong: Don't confuse final approach fix in context with an ILS approach procedure.

The FAF is for non-precision approaches. Its equivalent in a precision approach is the FAP (final approach point) which is the published glideslope intercept altitude and may be several miles prior to crossing the FAF.

On Lido and FAA charts the FAP is depicted with a "P" symbol or a lighting bolt respectively, but for some reason Jeppesen charts simply has the FAP as an annotated altitude or distance, 10.5 DME IUL in this case.

Tailwinds!

Thanks bro for making these videos! Your presentations are informative yet easy to follow. Appreciate it.

I really appreciate the way you take time to explain basic flight sim info. Most other channels breeze through this stuff way to quickly for me. I think with FS2024 coming soon you will have a good opportunity to grow the channel as there will be a bunch of new simmers. I really enjoyed the 777 tutorials, but for new pilots nothing will be too simple.

Thanks for the great info Marc, I finally know what I'm looking at on the charts.

Thanks for sharing this info. I've always wanted to learn to read charts.

Thanks for the tutorial. I mainly fly VFR and wonder if you are considering a similar review for VFR charts?

What a shame this does not cover flight planning for
