This is probably the best video on YT about the rules & regulation of VFR that no one seems to talk about in their "VFR Tutorial". Glad I found this one in their, learned a lot
1:50 - I did exactly the same thing when I started flying lessons! XD In fact every instructor I've had has told me not to use simulators for training for that reason.
Only just found your channel, but this is excellent, information is clear, concise and great examples - from a newbie enthusiast, it's a huge help, thank you!
small update at 15:57 as of Vatsim CoC update that came in force today (1st August 2022): New Section B13: Pilots are encouraged to utilize current real- world weather at all times. Pilots must utilize at least the following current, real-world weather parameters throughout all phases of flight: (a) Winds, (b) Pressure, (c) Temperature
Judging distance from the clouds, imagine that a commercial jet will fly out of the cloud screaming at 250 knots straight at you...am i far enough to evade if that were to happen ? :)
Thanks...good insight....I use little nav a lot..great piece uf software and updatable by navigraph...the only thing missing is VRPs...do you know of a similar programme which includes VRPs and obstacles etc? Look forward to your next video.....
Disagree on the C172 vs PA28 wing. You can easily see forward and to the side all the way to the horizon in a low wing plane. Seeing into the turn is limited on the 172. PA28 circuits are easier than 172 imo. You need to do some funky view point stuff to see the horizon out the left window of a 172. Trackir or vr makes it work. But a pa28 is just a matter of hat switch.
@@AviationPro well having 1 engine and fixed pitch prop is a good idea obviously lol. irl I liked the archer better too. Encourages looking into the turn, handling on flare was nicer too (more ground effect). Getting in and out is harder tho. 1 door. Have to walk on the wing. Doing preflight you have to crawl on the ground to get to the fuel drain points. In the sky tho, pa28 gets my vote
@musicalaviator Seeing the runway while turning base?! That’s cheating! 😜 Only Skyhawks in my logbook thus far (as you probably guessed). Sooner or later I’ll get to try sitting on a wing instead of underneath it. Can always spot the guys who fly Cessnas. Muttering things like “lift the wing, check for traffic” and absolutely convinced fullest tank is spelled B-O-T-H. 😉
Just looks like the website Skyvector. If you want an application for windows to plan routes and such I strongly recommend "Plan-G". Its totally free to download, allows you to plan simple and complex routes and even export them as .pln files compatible with FSX or P3D. You can have it connect to your sim live to track your flight path. In addition, it also generates airport diagrams with taxiways, parking locations, etc.. Directly from your FSX/P3D Scenery. Overall a huge time saver when on Vatsim trying to navigate a complex airfield without needing to google airport diagrams and such. Just a heads up, if you do get Plan-G but the maps show as a blue error, go to the application's options and change the map source from its default selection to OpenTopoMap or OpenCycleMap.
Hello AviationPro, I've flown the aircraft in this videos thumbnail in real life, but it had the callsign N446SP, so i was wondering if this was a mod for the flight sim?
Depends on the mission, really. Study level models (A2A, PMDG, etc.) are great if you want to maximize realism and can handle the complexities that come with that - so, for example, a student pilot practicing for real world lessons - but will overwhelm and frustrate the heck out of everyone else. Less complex models (Carenado, etc.) tend to be more accessible to the casual simmer. Hardware/performance constraints can also be a factor.

This great video is so underrated... Thanks for posting!
Thanks ;)
Wow, this video helped me realise how little I know about VFR flying lol. Very informative though, I'll be sure to check out your other videos.
These are excellent for the upcoming MSFS and the new VATSIM certification system! Only 12 days baby. :)
It’s interesting you had those tests then. I just jump in whatever plane I want and go wherever with whatever clearance I want.
@@saucywings I like to follow procedures. What you are describing would not be fun for me 🙂
@@ThomassoCZ I do follow procedures. I just didn’t have to take any tests or evaluations for any clearance levels
About time haha, been waiting for this to be uploaded.
It’s not as easy as it seems ;)
@@AviationPro Just watched the whole thing, definitely must've taken a while to make, good stuff as always.
1:50 - I did exactly the same thing when I started flying lessons! XD In fact every instructor I've had has told me not to use simulators for training for that reason.
Yeah I think it's advisible to avoid the sim a bit, at least during training.
When you have trackIR or vr goggles this is not a problem, to me at least, i start to move my head alot then:)
bravo six in an airplane lol
AviationPro Are you a professional pilot as your job or just an expert on flight simulators
Dankjewel! Heb gisteren mijn eerste vlucht VFR gehad van Lelystad naar Eelde, was echt top!
Goed om te horen! :)
Only just found your channel, but this is excellent, information is clear, concise and great examples - from a newbie enthusiast, it's a huge help, thank you!
Wow dude. Just wow. Video is packed with real uselul information. Your channel is exactly what i need right now. Cant wait to see more
Glad you like it! :)
Thank you for everything you cover and the best best best educational videos ever! Keep going I stick with you!❤
Best aviation youtuber imo. Always smiling!😁
😉
Brilliant tutorials mate. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! ;)

Good to know yeah!
Also, with the Cessna, it's available as standard in almost every flight simulator, so you can pretty much guarantee you'll have access to one.
For UK VFR pilots, SkyDemon light is a great flight planning tool :)
It's ok, but a bit clunky in places like when getting aerodrome charts.
@@ktmbikes9227 yes i agree but for just general airspace nav it’s amazing
Nowadays in the US it is required for all aircraft to have a TCAS transmitter, but not a receiver. Most will have one anyways though
Such a great video! has helped me a lot. Greetings from Austria
Thanks!
Thanks for your donation! :)
Zeer leerzaam! Thanks man :)
What to do if you acsedentaly enter imc in VATSIM
altf4
Pause and drag your plane back if your in xplane lol
Gaaf! Eelde, mijn standaard vliegveld aangezien ik er dichtbij woon.
Hey love u alot aviation pro learned alot from u Thnx for the knowledge u gave me
You’re welcome!
Awesome! Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
how can one remember all the different areas? great videos btw! you are incredibly competent

You're welcome! There are apps like that, like SkyDemon and ForeFlight, but they are payware and more suitable for real life aviation.
So, as I got it right, should ask for entry clearance only for B, C, D airspaces?
Hi, i should totally disable ATC in MSFS 2020 in order to use Vatsim and V-Pilot for live air traffic?
How about the PA28 for VFR and Flight pattern ?
Not bad either :)

True. In reality this is not really a problem, but in the sim it indeed is. But something like a Baron 58 is a different story in flightsim :P

Great video! In the inset flight sim videos, what plane were you using?
Thanks! Cessna 172, the one I flew in real life actually, it will be featured throughout the series :)
Hey! Hoe gaat het met je selectie bij de KLM Flight Academy?
Meer daarover in mn stream op 4 juli :)
If you fly on VATSIM with a time offset wouldn't your weather be out of sync?
No, in MSFS (and other sims) you can select live weather but select a different time of day at the same time
What app was being used on the tablet in the video? Thanks!

Hello AviationPro, I've flown the aircraft in this videos thumbnail in real life, but it had the callsign N446SP, so i was wondering if this was a mod for the flight sim?
Nope, the thumbnail is a real picture, spotted in Ireland 😉
@@AviationPro If that's the case, then it has the same exact livery as the very first aircraft I ever controlled. Funny coincidence.
Best place to get vfr charts?
For Europe specifically. Including departure frequencies etc.
WHAT'S your view on the New Microsoft flight simulator
Join my stream on July 4th and I will share my views :)
IFR = I Follow Roads
I went into skyvector and clicked on the airport but none of the charts had the vfr circuits on it. How do I find them?
Look up the AIP of the country you're flying in and look up charts for specific airports.
Aviationpro where can I find the AIPs?
Also...carenado planes ? rly ? :) A2A is where its at, better to save funds for those :)
