The crosswind math is genius as is the crab angle. Thank you very much for that.

[jacmwo]

I come your channel and it's very educative and easy to understand as i will be joining PPL classes in 5 months time from now, i thumb you up mate👍🏼!.Great work.

Gran Tip de video, me ayudo bastante en ejercicios de GNAV

[FATraining]

At time 4min55, for me,
TOD = ((Current Altitude -Target Altitude)/100)/desired angle of descent
= ((Current Altitude -Target Altitude)/100)/3.

In example time 5m42, my calcul is:
TOD= ((5500-1500)/100)/3
= (4000/100)/3
= 40/3
= 13Na

If we choice an angle of descent 5°
TOD= ((5500-1500)/100)/5
= (4000/100)/5
= 40/5
= 8Na

I'm new but already fall in love with my first video on channel really thank you💞💞

Please do a similar version of admission test for emirates cadeT pilot training. Syllabus to cover, what maths and physics topic should we practice, what type of physics and maths can we expect during the training etc.

3:50 290-220=70 70*15=1050 1050/tas(100)= 10.5 degrees to wind.

Captain I have a question regarding the XWC. What if I encounter the situation of a tail wind. And it is above 90 degrees diference. Example:
HDG 290
Wind from 170/20
290-170= 120 degrees difference
180-120= 60 degrees
With the graph you provided 60 deg is WIND -1 so:
XWC = 20-1 = 19
WCA = 8 degrees to the left
HDG CORRECTED 288 degrees
Is this simplification correct?

[Zfx]

The DME ARC rule can be used for NBD arcs as well?

[FitXhub]

Can you do another video on mental math on Hold/fuel calculations ? As well as more examples from this video please

[VinceCartierBeats]

Why did you mulipl GS*5 for rate of descent. Just trying to get an understanding of where you got the 5 from and not any other number?

[Cosme]

My suggestion is to please use a microphone so that the audio can have good quality. It’s a lot of noise.

[bruno]

How can you assume the WCA is half of the crosswind component without taking into account your airspeed?
Your example would only apply if your were flying at 120kts. Any other speed and you'd have to apply a different w.c.a..

[FitXhub]

Why do you divide by 4 on the DME arc ?

[dsd-downshiftdave]

Did I miss something how did you get FL260- FL110= 15000ft- isn't cruise altitude 5500 minus target altitude 1500 would be 4000
Which would make rate of decent 4000/10= 400

[Mr.Legend]

5:33 Your calculation does not match exactly. This is correct; 5500-1500=4000ft GS120KTS 120kts/60h=2nm path per munite 4000ft/600fpm=6, 66 minute (descends in 6.66 minutes with 600fpm) 6, 66*2= 13, 32nm. (it make progress 13.32 nm in 6, 66 minutes at 120 kts.)

[USA]

My dear are there another formula for arc distance anyway 🙋‍♂️🙏

[donolsen]

Are calculators allowed when factors like sinus come in play? And are basic calculators there in the interviews, or is it purely mental!

Thanks for the vid btw!

[koller]

I can do fourier and laplace tranform with pen and paper
But I can't do 84*24 in my head in under 30sec .... :/

[tsunghanlee]

GIVEN: True course : 105 degree, True heading : 085 degree, True
airspeed : 95 kts, Groundspeed : 87 kts. Determine the wind direction and
speed.
(A)020 degree and 32 knots. (B)030 degree and 38 knots. (C)200 degree and 32
knots.
According to u video the answer should be (B)
but the answer is A
why?
