Good. Glad to hear it.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Glad you liked it. My pleasure.

Hi Christopher. Try this: to convert 10 pounds fuel to litres: hit Flt>Fuel. Use down arrow to highlight Wt, use CONV UNIT button as needed so it shows LBS, enter 10; then use up arrow to highlight VOL, hit the CONV UNIT button to change to L and there you go. Answer is 6.31 L.

@@aeroposte Thank you very much! It did the trick.

Glad it was helpful!

Hello Kimberly. You can actually convert a number to a negative number: just hit the +/- sign bottom left corner, beside the period.

Use the '+-' Button in the bottom-left corner instead of the individual + or - buttons on the right side. If you find a way to use cos() for the load factor questions let me know!

Actually, it is a very intuitive computer and easy to use. The negative function is eradily accessible for temperatures. Excellent video BTW,

Hello. The Climb/descent function in the CX-3 is generic, not for any particular aircraft. What it does is tell you what rate of descent or climb (feet per minute) you should use, for instance, to descend from your cruise altitude to circuit altitude. It asks for distance, how much you need to descend, what your ground speed will be and it gives you Rate of Descent and Angle of Descent. Just fill in the numbers in the Climb & Descent feature in FLT. Hope this helps.

You are so right. I always have a small penknife in my pocket with a flat blade screwdriver. Works really well! It also serves as a nail file in case of problems. :-)

Thank you!

Good luck for the test!

@@aeroposte que eu não 😮 e eeeeee w e ❤

Hi! If you mean distance to take off? Then no, you can only use the calculator functions with the airplane flight manual to calculate the takeoff ground roll. Or do you mean "ground speed"? If so, you can calculate expected ground speed during the planning (PLAN, leg calculation), or calculate actual ground speed during the flight (FLT, Ground Speed). Cheers!|

@@aeroposte yea I meant ground roll but that’s ok. Just trying to make my life easier for the exam. It would be great if you could go through all of the functions you know. I just got my calculator yesterday

@@corbonik8100 Good idea, I'll try to get around to do that soon.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the comment... You are right, I was not showing the buttons for a good part of the calculations. Oops! I have another video using the Sportys E6B and doing similar calculation. Where I did a better job: ua-cam.com/video/VOjFE_SvdRI/v-deo.html Cheers! Jean

Hello Kai. Time en route in this case is leg time as there is only one leg calculated. If you have more than one leg, then time en route would be the sum of multiple legs. In this video, I only calculate the leg time from the set heading point to the destination, but en route time would be that plus the time to get to the set heading point, in this case about 12 minutes. So calculation of leg time starts at about 8:10 in the video, and is shown in step 4 in the summary at the end. Hope this helps! Jean

Yes, certainly, as long as they are the same size.

If you are referring to calculating ground speed and drift angle, please see this video, starting at 1:30 ua-cam.com/video/_1e2VEO0tdA/v-deo.html).

Wright it down what he saying mate. He his jumping about a bit to fowllow. you can Store it all by pressing C buton Then go into Calculator.then go into recall. to get it all back up keep working at you get mate. but wright it all down what he saying mate . Good luck you get it

Hello Pilot 509. I asked my friend who owns the airplane and he tells me that he needed to ask a technician with the magic password from Garmin, and it took only 10 minutes.

@@aeroposte thank you

Yes. I actually filmed it recently, but need to do it again as the sound was terrible. Thanks for the comment.

Hello. I'm afraid not. For the PPL written test, you need to have done 10 hours of flying, and for the CPL, half of the total time (200 hours) required for the licence. There are other requirements also, for instance, your medical certificate has to be valid and appropriate for the level of licence.

The TAS is an input to the calculations. I choose the True Airspeed from the Pilot Operations Handbook, Section 5, performance. I select it to be appropriate for the temperature and pressure altitude.

@@aeroposte brilliant thank you sir! Did my first flight using my first flight plan this afternoon. All went smoothly thanks to your video :)

Thank you!

That's a very good question. Two answers: it is actually incorrect, should be 13 W. And I should have gotten it from the top of the map by the dashed line where it says 13 W. Silly mistake. Jean

@@aeroposte I am not saying you are wrong. I am a newer pilot and I was just learning how to do my nav log... so I was trying to see where you get that number from. Thanks for the info, I now see it on my sectional!

@@TLHRookiePilot Fair enough, I didn't think you were criticizing. I just realized when I was looking at the number and discovered I was wrong. Cheers!

Hello Paul. Not much use for Mach calculations in the videos I do for Private Pilot Licence, but I tried it. I selected Speed, tabbed down to Plan M#, entered 15 deg C, and Mach 1, and got TAS of 661.7Kt. Wikipedia says that Mach 1 = speed of sound = 661.49Kt. Pretty close. Cheers Jean René de Cotret

Hello Pranam. Very observant. I never noticed that port. Here is what the manual says: "The CX-3 accepts a micro type B-USB plug (not included) to connect to the computer. This feature allows users to save their settings and data. Once connected to a computer, the CX-3 will be displayed as a mass storage device when the unit is turned on. The file “data.cx3” can then be saved and reloaded back onto the CX-3 after factory defaults have been restored. Instructions for updating the CX-3’s firmware can be found in Appendix B on page 19, and the procedure for backing up and restoring data is detailed in Appendix C on page 20." I'll need to add that to the video. Thanks.

@@aeroposte thank you..

Best price I have seen in Canada is at www.vippilot.com/pilot-accessories/cx-3-electronic-flight-computer-p045 $134.95.

Looking forward to your visit. Tell me how useful it was in practice and any improvements I could make.

why you have my name? that's identity theft >:(. (kidding)

Thank you!

You are welcome. What licence are you working towards?

Hello! In another video (ua-cam.com/video/_1e2VEO0tdA/v-deo.html), I do that calculation for a leg starting at 1:30.
