Taxi / Ground Charts, Gate Positions, Departure Charts (SIDs) Arrivals (STARs) Transitions / VIAs as well as ILS Approach Charts.

That my friend was awesome! Before I watched this video, whenever I looked at Navigraph charts, all I could ever see was alphabet soup. It all looked so daunting, I more often than not, closed the app again. But now it all makes sense. You have an uncanny way of explaining something that is seemingly unfathomable into bite sized sections that explain everything that even old noobs like me can fully understand. I know I will watch this again in future. Thank you for making this video, and I already look forward to watching more future content from you. Cheers.

Very good video and complete explanations ! Thanks a lot !

This was definitely the best video I have watched on anything related to aviation. Every detail was explained in such a detail that you can't misunderstand the content. It didn't hurt to throw in a bit of humor in between either. In other words it was fantastic. I'll say as someone else, I will watch this again just to take it all in. I'm too old to fly for real but never too old to play with the big ones in the simulator. Thanks a lot.

Thank you soo much for being clear and cutting all the BS jargon. I feel like a lot of Sim YouTubers try to sound smart instead of teaching. Save the smart talk for live stream maybe. You've done great. I've subbed.

This is the tutorial I needed. So well explained and some things, the way they were said had me laughing 😅

[stevehewitt]

Nice to have what I thought was right confirmed, but I still learned quite a lot from the whole video. So many thanks and I have been flying the X-Plane simulators since 2004. So you can teach an old dog new tricks. Can I also compliment you on your instructional technique, keep it simple and repeat until the student can recite AND understand or get cuffed around the ear.

Sir, thank you so much for this excellent explanation of charts!! I always looked at charts, understanding less than half, leaving it all to the vnav & lnav. But now i understand why. Good pace, nice voice. Looking forward to further videos 🎉

[kiwinesss]

Even after watching this for a third time there are things that I still learn from it.

Dear Sir, thank you for your tutorial. - Please allow a short feedback:

The terminology does not always coincide with ICAO definitions:

ATIS, SID, track/radial associated with VOR, QDM/QDR used in a NDB-context, alt vs height, hecto Pascal/MB/QNH/QNE/QFE, minimas of the ILS-cat. III C, the continuous zooming in and out makes it a bit difficult for a
Looking forward to your next video

Thank you for explaining for how to understand the charts, Now some airports doesn't have SID OR STAR is it fine to create a custom SID and STAR to make Realistic Flight plan?

[eliasandersson]

WOW! So much to suck in! Thanks but it will take a while befor i can do this without pausing the game :P
