33-18 = 15. Someone help me understand how he got 8 please

I wish I had found this a few weeks ago! My instructor keot asking me which runway to use, and it would take me forever to think through it. Just a couple of days ago.ni figured out that math technique on my own. Great video!

[thomasgillis]

“ at a biggillion knots” hahaha thank you for the video!

[sarathw]

Thank you. I like the second method as it seems very very easy.

[christembraceministry]

Best teacher you are bro👍 if you were a CFI i would have enrolled with for my ppl journey.

[robertfreeman]

EXCELLENT! Thank you for the explanatory remarks and options. Very nice to see it presented in a logical and understandable manner.

[Shannonbarnesdr]

yeah i am very much a visual hands on thinker and learner so it really makes most sense once you break out those visuals with the compass lay outs thank you so much for this tutorial ! itis very helpful

[Shannonbarnesdr]

this was actually very helpful, especially with the compass circles for using point of reference me being a very visual hands on thinker / learner this actually makes sense to me ;) thanks so much

[AlphaAviator]

That equation helps me out tremendously, thank you! :)

Hello, Captain. Great methods to choose the right runways. Congratulation for your excellent tutorial. Regards. Larissa.

You showed easy to figure out scenarios. You land on the runway closest to the wind. What you need to show is more divergent winds rather than just 30 degrees off of heading. For instance runway 5/23 winds 310@ 6KT.

I'm sorry I know this video is old, but your math doesn't seem right in that first example 33-18 isn't 8 and 25-7 isn't 8

[issak]

Yo!! what in the world is going lol 33-18=8??? And 25-7=8??? Please explain

[iFollowLife]

Thank you so much. Your video really helped me understand. Keep the good work

So basically you want to land on a runway closest to wind coming directly at you to aid stopping. (also taking in picking asphalt or concrete over rocks or grass surfaces for better stopping / just better for your plane). And your other method when it goes over 9 your just using the reciprocal runways

Maybe he was thinking about this fun fact about the number 8! Which is why he wasn’t able to complete basic math.

The number 8 is considered extremely lucky in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word for wealth and prosperity.

[marcelodorio]

Hey thanks for the explanation. When you have a chance drop a note on the video correcting your subtractions.

[bugmanmd]

??? 33 - 18= 8 ?
??? 25 - 7 = 8 ?

Please explain – what am I missing here?
What's going on with the math?

[thomasgreen]

Yeah, but you left out part of the info you can quickly determine by this method. Left or right pattern based on your position relative to the airport and whether you would be in a better position for entry on the downwind or base. Assuming pattern is up for pilots discretion.

Is this that new math ive been hearing about in the schools? We're all doomed 😂😂😂
