- 2 Week Trial Of Our Courses - mzeroa.lpages.co/gsatrialyt/ - VFR sectional charts can be overwhelming considering the amount of information provided. But understanding these charts is key to proper flight planning. In this weeks video I will show how to interpret a VFR sectional chart.
I passed my test in June of 2020 with 82%. Thank you for all your help.
Congrats bro!
Nice bro
what study guide did you use for your written test? thanks
Is 82 a good grade? I don't fly planes. Unfamiliar with their tests. In my line of work we take safety courses and there is a test at the end and if you get a 99% you fail and have to retake the course.
@@dickfitswell3437 you need a 70 percent to pass so yes a 82 is good
As a Canadian pilot living near the border this is a great help. US VFR charts are so close in nature but different. This clears up a lot. You might post a Canadian VFR chart showing the subtle differences. It is always a treat to visit and experience American hospitality.
I used the King courses back in the 90s all loaded on CDs. Things have changed just a little. Glad to see videos on using a sectional.
Hi Jason. Loved the video. One thing with the video I had a problem with was the symbology part of the video. You were taking about the symbols but you did not put an arrow or a square around the symbol you were taking about. So as a new pilot I was a little lost. The second part where you showed an example of a chart was fantastic. You highlighted the symbols you were talking about and it was made more clear
Thankyou just started ground school and this is what they started last week!
Great video!!!!
Enjoyed meeting y'all at Oshkosh. Like I said there, Keep up the Great work!
"Big number is on the Altimeter, small small is far you'll fall" ....OMG THIS HELPS SOOO MUCH!!!
@18:41 How do you remember which is MSL vs AGL for tower/obstruction symbols? Well, the number on top (MSL) is the number your altimeter will read if you hit it, the bottom number (AGL) is how many feet you're about to fall (to the ground) ~ LOVE IT..! (Makes sense on a few different levels too!!)
Kind of like my driving instructor (once upon a time) taught us how to never forget how to remember and never forget which way you're supposed to point your steer tires when parallel parking UP vs DOWN hill... "UP UP AND AWAY"...! Parallel parking on an uphill? Wheels point AWAY from the side of the road..! Parallel parking on a downhill? Wheel point TOWARD the side of the road..!
Thanks for helping me along my path to my Part 107..!
Great videos, also nice to meet you at AirVenture. Sent link to friend who's in need of ground school training.
Hahaha! Looking for VFR sectional chart videos I just watched the the remote pilot 101 video. Good stuff on both these channels!👍🏽
Jason mentions (1:31) a link would be available for VFR symbology but there's only a link to your online courses. Is the symbology still available?
ADF's are great for listening to the Indians games on freq. 1100 In The Giant area around Cleveland that is AM 1100 covers.
this will help me with my 107 certifications for Commerical drone services.
Love your content .
I will be honored to meet you and absorb more of you knowledge
It would be an honor! Keep an eye our for us! Thanks for watching!
Is the symbology standardized internationally or is this only applicable to US?
Thanks for the tutorial on how to read the map, @ 19:08 good to know.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you really helpful to get ready to go to school
Thanks for watching! Good luck!
Thank you so much. Very helpful.
Very helpful. No Netflix tonight just charts!
thank you thank you, seriously, for us poor boys who are training to become pilots, and cant afford the manuals and books, plus those of us like me who are visual / kinesthetic / hands on thinkers and learners visual vids are the next best thing to being in person with instructor, i am doing as much as i can online with visual stuff like the UA-cam vids and of course doing my flight in seat hours in the plane, so yes please do keep em coming as the youtube vids that groups put out are a huuuge help for my ground school portions to prep me for the tests, much thanks brother !
Thanks for the positive feedback. Good luck in your training!
@@MzeroAFlightTraining thanks man, much appreciated ! i'm very excited and looking forward to my journeys
I can't find 123.0. Where is that thing located? Love the videos Jason. Hope your plane is going to be ok, broke my heart seeing that.
Same here. Very sad when I saw that
SAME! 😩
This was corrected in the ground school version of the video, we can replace those videos behind the scenes. Can not simply edit and replace a UA-cam video. It is the correct Unicom, and it did appear on an earlier version of the sectional chart, that the writer was referring to... . Appreciate the attention to detail. In addition to our free content, we have over 75 hours of content available exclusively to our members.
Thank you ‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏼
Hi Jason. I have a question. What is the Spencer nolf(NRQ) symbol means?
Hi Jason-excellent video (where's 123.0?). Here's a word about MOA's and Restricted areas. If you fly from Los Angeles to Las Vegas the path is 'strewn' with all sorts of military flight test areas. In a seminar I attended a test pilot said they do steep vertical as well as horizontal extreme performance testing. An F-18 or the like can climb (or descend) 25-30,000 feet in a matter of seconds. You won't see him at this velocity. A GA pilot has to be 'talking and squawking' constantly through these areas to stay safe.
I was stationed at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, CA in 1988-1990. While there I worked at the local airport (TNP) and more than a few student pilots doing their cross country solos out of Corona, CA were escorted out of the restricted airspace and out to the airport by Cobra gunships.

Tha would be frightening to be flying a small Cessna thru there and then all the sudden a F-22 or /F-35(my choice) comes burning in front of you in a hard 8G turn while squeezing all the vapor out of the air. Would be pretty cool actually. Well once you know you are not gonna die
@@grinchusmc3521 man 29palms. Brings back memories. Calling in F18's for some air to ground strikes during CAX, now called Mojave Viper or something. I also remember a fellow Marine being late to first formation. Actually didn't show up till noon cause as he told it, he went to the bar offbase and met this chick and he went home with her .....and her mother. I swear to God. What happens in 29 Palms...stays in 29 Palms.
@@grinchusmc3521 oh. Ohhrah Devildog!
Bro, you are awesome
Jason, You do a great job with your explanations but at 15:27 you mention 123.0 is UNICOM for OCF but that number does NOT appear on the chart you are using as your learning example.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Paul. We did correct this in our online ground school but it can't be done on this UA-cam video. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I was banging my head trying to figure out where that info was being displayed.
@@JimmyHat01 LMAO! Thanks! You and me both! I'm sitting here banging my head against the screen then thought, lemme check the comments :)
It is possible if you can make a video of how I can understand what the control tower is telling me to do From the moment I start the engine? I'm sorry I'm a student I'm starting
would like to be getting the new courses. I've been with you guys since 2017 and passed Part 107 Certification plus renewals. We registered one of our VOs to get her Part 107 . I was supposed to be able to use the courses with that one registration years ago. Is that still on? Feels like I'm not seeing the new courses.
Hey Jason, I found one thing on this chart that I'm not familiar with. What is the "street pattern" to the southwest of the field?
very informative, thank you very much,
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for this video, so much work and knowledge for the good and safety of us.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Jason, l passed my written yesterday the 14 th with 80 percentage. Thanks for your help.
Congrats! That's great news!
Great video. ATIS is a SERVICE provided by atc. Automated Terminal Information Service.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Jason - please add links to Chart, thanks
Would this be helpful for the drone part 107 test?
Video begins at 2:16
Great information, but the image is just too blurry even at the highest video playback quality. This is an opportunity to remake this in 4k and use high(er) resolution images.
Just passed my 107 with 87% thanks
yea, at minute 15:28 there is a reference to the last number "123.0 Unicom" i rewound and replayed this over and over then paused the video looking and looking for that it's not there ?????
can you clarify this ? are you using a different chart than one you may be looking at during narration that might have more info on it?
At 15.01 , what do you mean by we are looking at traffic pattern at 1100 Feet MSL? as the number indicated was 90 feet.
Looking forward for the explanation.
I hope you found out by now, but as he said traffic pattern is 1000 ft above the runway, so since the elevation is 90 ft MSL the altitude would be 1000+90 which is preeetty close to 1100 :)
I'm looking at Logansport,IN help out with that? Take a look, looks like has restricted where acreage is that I'm want to buy and put a PVT runway in.
Where I can get these legends?
Great video! You guys should do one of these for IFR low charts also!
How do I download the charts?
I'm watching in 1080p and connected to hispeed WiFi and the slides are blurry when viewing and I'm able to zoom as a UA-cam premium member and can't read a thing. Wanted to take screenshots. Gonna have to find another channel
Hey....Where did u see the unicom frequency
What do the numbers next to a private airport mean?
How much is it after the free trail thought
Video says there's a link to download a symbology guide. No link?
Is the symbology link available in another location? It would be really helpful when studying this vid..
Hello! Thanks for watching! This link will be useful to you:

You have questions that need answered here.
At 15:30 you mention "UNICOM 123.0".
That frequency is NOT on the example chart. WHAT GIVES?
This made me less excited about purchasing courses. Felt like a big miss.
@@communicationcandy1707 Clearly this MzeroA Flight Training is a throw-away account. He never answered the question, asked multiple times in these comments.
@@grecco_buckliano so weird. I don’t get why you would go through the effort of posting and then disengage. He must be slammed.
@@communicationcandy1707 Slammed. Maybe. Or it's stolen content. Happens all the time and I always see disengagement associated with stolen content.

Just started the video, and it suggests downloading the available legend. However, I don't see it in the description. Can you point us in the right direction, @MzeroA ?
I couldn't find it Either, Did you get a response?
What is the blue circle with notches around the airport that isn't airspace designation? The circle that has degrees written on some of the notches?
Hi Rio! That is a compass rose for the VOR, so it gives magnetic degrees off of the VOR station it is around. If you need more clarification please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com! Thanks for watching!
@@MzeroAFlightTraining is there a specific name for it? Or just "VOR compass"?
Many other items needed to be spoken to!
Are you planning to be in the lantana airport anytime soon.
Hi Oscar! We aren't sure but always keep an eye out! Thanks for watching and we do hope to meet you soon!
NDB's are still being manufactured in the US by Southern Avionics Company in Beaumont, TX Home - Southern Avionics
Thanks for sharing James!
Curious why KIGM is depicted without being inside a circle? The runways are 6,800' and not over 8,069'. Yet, KIFP is an 8,500' runway and is depicted in the filled in blue circle. Why?
Great explanations of all the symbols but the quality of the video picture quality is pretty bad even with the 1080p setting.
No chart link?
Ward Miller go to skyvector.com
@@mccordja - Thank you!
Sorry if it has been addressed in another comment, I couldn’t locate the link for the symbology document.
also looking for chart
@К_видео Thank you!
9:10 - a VORTAC is shaped like a medieval shield. A Roman shield is a large blocky rectangle. The medieval, or "heater" style has the classic rounded bottom and point.

At 15:26 "that last number 123.0" i don't see that. 74 is the last number

cool
I couldn’t see the 123.0.
It's harder to fold the chart back up properly than it is to read all the symbols.
Simeon scale rrr
Alright, I'm gonna be this guy since no one else mentioned it: The "www" is not implied. The subdomain is either configured by the webmaster or not configured, in which case the website will not be accessible using the "www" subdomain.
There's very few good technical reasons to configure a "www" subdomain nowadays. It's longer for visitors to type and can be slower if a redirection is required.
On the other hand, the "" is implied since the web browser will automatically add the protocol to the URL before trying to load a website. That would have been a better example but I think we got the idea nonetheless ;)
He could have just noted that trailing zeros to the right of the decimal are insignificant digits like leading zeroes on the left. 118.3 = 118.300000000 = 0000000118.3
The www was a weak analogy. I was more put off at the start of the video by the use of the reflexive pronoun “myself” as the subject. Yeah, I’m that guy. 😀
This is not a complete overview of vfr charts.
basically the whole test is on sectional charts.
Thanks for watching, Lucien! Sectional charts are important!
Pieri neuronal network...
Please point at what you're talking about.
I think you should syndicate investors and get licensed to build Cessna 152 aircraft. Many people trust you and I think you could get this done. Many flight schools around the country are using old beat up aircraft that beginners are not finding attractive. These existing flight schools are not reinvesting in their business. I’ve witnessed some junky looking airplanes. A Garmin or two will not overcome the trashiness of poor looking interiors. If I had millions I’d sponsor you in this project.
trial just give some part of the course free
