Much better explanation than the current videos available. Narration, pause in between, animation to the point, retro feel.....Incredible!! Hope to find more videos like these.
James Russell nowadays narrators speak fast, show their hands to explain instead of nice animations, name the video as “scared ppl student survives” and beg for likes
After resetting the subscale window on the Altimeter , The Altimeter reads an altitude of 5447 ft so after doing that should the pilot descend to 5000 ft or just maintain 5447 ft ??
Whats the point of needles on altimeters, instead of just the numeric readouts? Wouldnt it automatically be better to get an exact number rather than a collection of needle positions?
***** I understand the inner workings, but even thermometers have digital readouts these days... You'd think people would prefer precise readouts, rather than having to convert needle-positions to numeric estimations... -The same way a digital clock provides better read-out than a wind-up clock...
***** I guess a safety requirement, not relying on external systems... I'm just surprised that the data provided (which afterall is a needle position, and not a number) is "sophisticated enough" for modern aviation. But thanks!
Using gauge is much easier and faster to interpret the instrument rather than having to read every single digits. Yes digital read outs are more accurate but you don't need to know the accuracy of a few feet when flying an airplane.
@@leewai05 it is also easier to interpret rates with analog equipment, you can see how fast is the reading increasing or decreasing at a quick glance. That's why in a modern cockpit the primary display unit, while completely digital, still displays the speed and altimeter as and analog readout.
In the past, people understood the curvature of Earth even if it was illustrated otherwise. These days, people insist Earth is flat even though all the evidence shows otherwise.
Damn bro he did not need almost 20 minutes to only explain this. Way too slow I'm sorry but I'm studying and this was very well explained but way too time wasting

I like how the narrator pauses for a few seconds to let the info sink in. It makes an enormous difference.

the first thing that I noticed and found it very very easy to understand compere to new explanations
This video will never age! Its so rich in information even for nowadays use
Awesome. Appears like a classroom. Excellent way to explain altimeter working.
I like retro explanatory documents and voices.
Me too👋✈💨
That was a great way to learn about Flight Levels, QNH and QFE, thanks.
Studying for my ATPL exam, God!! I'm happy I found this video.
I learned alot from altimeter principal thanks, all you explained is effective
Wow awesome .... Easy to understand... Thanks
Absolutely fantastic information. I like the old approach of teaching information. Thanks for the upload. Hello from 2019
Nice video...kind of gives you an idea why they came up with the different altitudes; Indicated, Calibrated, True, Absolute, Pressure, and Density...
Thanks very much. Very important to understand if we are to fly safe.
Best altimetry explanation thank you!!! 👍😃🙏🏼👏
I wish the FAA has the same explanation like this one.
At first I was waiting for this to fade into a colour image. Nonetheless, great presentation
Now I got the idea, thank you!
Very Very good explanation Thanks !!
very good explanation
thank you very much
A very useful video

Basically, yes. The altitude setting (QNH) is used below the flight levels which these days, start at approx 18000', Class A airspace FL180.

Thank you so much ❤️ sir
that was very useful,,, thanks a lot :)
Thanks!
Straight and level flight over that flat earth. Nice demonstration👍
There is always one flat earther in every comment section, LOL.
@@Flying_Snakes he he.

Certainly the flat Earth!
Nice narration by Morgan Freeman
whoa its over...i just woke up

is this vedio made in the 40s LOL
Yep, and in 2020s people cannot spell properly.
