    Hey Mike. I am a little confused. I only fly in Microsoft Flight Sim, so it’s not a life or death scenario. I am currently flying at 5500ft, the outside air temperature is 5C. The inHg is 29.92. Does this mean I have to set the knob so that the press/alt is showing 5,5 under 5C? Thank you! This is a very nice series!

      Thanks for the vote of confidence Rance! So, that is still my main goal, and at this point in life, I'm just too many hours short of it to make the additional investment worthwhile, so I fill the desire to teach this way. For most, instructing is a stepping stone to the airlines, where they stand to make decent money after slogging around on low pay as a CFI. For me, teaching IS the end game, and I cannot justify investing in the additional training, and then neglecting my family for hours at a time on the evenings or weekends just to make very little pay. It's going to have to be a retirement project I'm afraid. I'd still like to teach Alex when he's eligible in the next 5 years without having to pay for a CFI, so maybe by then... Thanks for always sticking with me on 121.Mike!

  • @libertine5606
    @libertine5606 3 місяці тому

    I HATE NUMERICAL "PERSONAL MINIMUMS"! This is a thing called Gordon Graham's Risk Model. It goes as such: High Risk, High Frequency; High Risk, Low Frequency; Low Risk, High Frequency; Low Risk, Low Frequency. And discretionary time (how much time you have to make a decision). The worse being by a big margin; High Risk, Low Frequency. So if you have a "personal minimum" and train to that if you violate it for any reason you are now in a High Risk, Low Frequency category. This is by far the most dangerous area. So if you don't train to be able to take off and land to minimums you are taking a chance of being in the most dangerous area. A better model is am I ready to make this flight with all conservative scenarios possible. If you can't say yes then don't do it or risk being in a dangerous area. Weather is always changing and never stays at any number and being on any IFR flight tells you that the weather is already bad and could get worse. With that said we must dig deeper in what a person is doing when they take on a 0/0 take off. I will take a flight that I did at KSNA at night. It was 0/0. The fog was so bad that I had to edge my way out at intersections because the taxi lines ended. So what did I factor in? #1 I was flying my own plane that I knew very well. #2 I had a great deal of recent night flying experience. #3 I had a great deal of recent IMC experience. #4 I had a great deal of recent IFR training which included a lot of MS flight sim time, I had recently been flying to KSNA on 0/0 days and flying the ILS to minimums over and over since the airport is virtually shut down on such days. If you use the GG risk model what makes 0/0 more dangerous is that we don't do very many of them. We take off thousands of times and think nothing of it and yet we are seeing people thinking you are crazy to even think about doing 0/0 take off. People will fly over great expanses of tule fog and not think anything about it. Look at all the time you are exposing yourself to a engine out into a 0/0. Or over mountains where your likelihood of survival is low. Or at night with large expanses of dark areas. If you say you will NEVER do any of these things then good for you. However, if you own your own plane and want to use it for travel with passengers it is very likely you will find yourself in one of these scenarios. Find yourself trying to get home when you have been delayed and it will be dark at your destination. Cancel and get rooms for all your friends. Call you and your passengers work letting them know that you won't be making it to work tomorrow? BRAVO! However, if it ends with, "I think it should be O.K." Then you have just entered the HR/LF category and you probably didn't even know it. So what did I do to keep the risk of a night 0/0 manageable? #1 My skills were at a peak for the flight I was about to take. #2 I preplanned in earnest. I would follow the stripe and rotate late so I would have positive climb away from the runway and go directly to instruments. I knew that if I had a engine out just after take off that I would go straight to the street lights. Mac Arthur runs parallel to the runway I would keep flying the airplane until it was completely stopped. If there was any other anomaly I would fly directly to Fullerton that is inland and completely clear. #3 my plane was in top mechanical condition. To me, I keep my airplane in top condition as if every flight is like this. It doesn't rule out the possibility of a mechanical failure but a large number of incidents could have been prevented because of maintenance. So everyone has the right not to do a 0/0 takeoff. That is unless you are a haul dog. Probably on your second refusal you will find that the company won't be needing your services anymore. These guys are doing these take offs all the time and they are not crashing all the time. So what makes these take offs extremely High Risk is the Low Frequency that they are done by average pilots.

  • @JorgeGonzalez-zh5xp
    @JorgeGonzalez-zh5xp 3 місяці тому

  • @robr1998
    @robr1998 3 місяці тому

    Ummm. Damn. I am gob smacked you are talking about 0-0 take offs. There are minimum conditions for a reason. Takeoff and landing are very different considerations. 0-0 landings are AUTOLAND ONLY. That is the auto flight system conducts the landing. Many hours of training as well as system integrity is checked before conducting a 0-0 landing. To be honest I think it's very poor you make a video talking about 0-0 take offs, especially in a light aircraft. No wonder the accident rate is so high.
