    Your videos are straight to the point. A lot of other channels "chit chat" for 10 minutes before they even start talking about what it is they are supposed to be talking about. And when they do start talking they meander about the topic like we're all hear to have a cup of coffee and enjoy each others company. Thanks for your videos!

    Will mention...I like the way you included on the screen the words used by ATIS (because Atis is not always easily understood during a presentation)
    You do cover it all....

    That was AWESOME!!!!! Now, can you redo this same video...but instead look at the airports for the East Coast side of Florida? LOL! Or, just explain how you'd use this very same VFR chart to do a cross country from your West Florida airport to let's say Boca Raton, FL using both I-75 Alligator Alley, or Airport and landmark hopping. Also, how you'd use the VOR at Pahokee if you had to divert or kick out some parachutists.
    Again, GREAT VIDEO. Thumbs up and subscribed!!!!!

    Great video! Can anyone please explain the meaning of a small solid blue line with blue dots inside of it? In the video, they are listed as "Myakka River State Park" around 0:50. I _think_ that indicates the boarder of a state park...but what does that *mean* exactly? Class B airspace? Are you prohibited from flying over state parks? What do the dots indicate?
    I'm looking under "Airport Traffic Service and Airspace Information" in the legend, and don't see anything related to a blue line with dots.

    @sandiegosun Рік тому

    Wow! great video, really helpful. Any way you can tell me what V521 in the blue nav routes. The nav routes have direction in degrees, arrows that point towards services/facilities and boxes which contain distance between NAVAIDs but nothing that says what V521, V579, V35 etc. means. Are they just like street names that identify the route between bacons? I see another one in the San Diego area that says V66-450-514. and T326. It seems to be the route name, or the name of that section of the route. Is there a key for these anywhere?

      @fly8ma.comflighttraining199  7 років тому +6

      Its just a FAA thing, internationally there is Class F airspace, we don't use that designation here in the states so to stay consistent with ICAO they skip over so that G here is the same as G everywhere else

    Very helpful. Thanks
    However, the presentation would be MUCH improved by changing the mouse pointer to something other than the default, small, white one used here which is difficult to see to the point that, at times, by the time one has located the pointer and what is being presented you have moved on to the next feature on the chart.
