Airspace MADE EASY With MINECRAFT! | Class A B C D E G Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- In this video we try to go over the basics of airspace using Minecraft to get a feel for how things look in real life… if you could see it in real life. Anyways, follow along as we talk about Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class G airspace. Not in that order through. We even go over what it looks like on the sectional or Terminal Area Chart (TAC), the required equipment, what you need to enter, weather visibility minimums, and cloud clearances. Everything you need to know for your flight training. PLUS, we made a fancy memory aid to help you memorize the weather minimums. So if you're trying to understand airspace for your private pilot license, this should do the trick.
UPDATE: @Yifan Wu Pointed out a mistake we made, at almost a year and half after publishing! We accidently said tower instead of approach for class C airspace. In reality, you need to contact approach frequencies for class B and C airspace first, which don't always reside in the tower of the field you're working with. Regardless, you only need to established two way radio communication with ATC prior to entry on class C and D airports. We wanted to give Yifan Wo a shout out for the clarification. THANKS!

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm taking my PPL written test in a few weeks and I haven't gotten a good understanding until now. Thanks again and keep up the great content!
Glad it was helpful and good luck with your written!
@@flywiththeguys Thank you!
This didn’t age well…
@@joshshepard0583 Lol what
@@joshshepard0583 How so? I'm a student pilot working on my PPL, and would appreciate knowing any changes in the airspace rules since the video was posted.
The FAA should give you some sort of award for this creation. Absolutely magnificent.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful.
Seriously. ... this was massive
Me: I'll go to sleep early tonight
Me at 3 A.M. :
This video is great, I'm a visual learner too
😂
Fly With The Guys literally me right now
Superb video. Great use of minecraft as a tool to do a 3D image of all the airspace.
Glad you liked it! It was a rough one to make. Lots of information to sort through.
You win! This is the best explanation of Class E/G (and the 14,500' limit) I've seen on UA-cam! Thanks for you and your son's great work!
Our pleasure!
i'm currently studying for my faa part 107 license and you have made the sectional chart section a lot more manageable..thank u so much..i will definitely recommend your channel to anyone inquiring of study supplements
Glad it helped!
It would be awesome if Garmin could incorporate an option where you could see the different types of airspace in their synthetic vision. Foreflight could do the same thing.
That would be really cool!
Fly With The Guys Found out that ForeFlight does show airspace in profile view with a Pro(and higher) subscription!
Once it's to scale it's actually pretty hard to see because of how big it is, it all just kinda blends together. I wonder if there's mods for Microsoft Flight Simulator that could show it?
This was phenomenal!! The appreciation for this is priceless!!
No problem!
Holy crap this is the best thing I’ve seen. And I know how long this took to get done. Tremendous amounts of work went into this. I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏽
Wow, thanks! We did put a lot into it and we're sad it didn't take off. I think it has the highest Likes to Views ratio then any other video we've made.
Fly With The Guys I’ll be doing what I can to help it take off because it deserves it!
Lmao 0 dislikes so far. That’s the power of Minecraft lmao
So far.... I'm glad people are liking it though.
Facts
The graph you made for weather minimums is genius and helps me so much THANK YOU!!!
Glad it helps!
I struggled so much with visualizing airspace and memorizing the visibility/cloud clearance requirements until I watched this video. Thank you so much for making it so clear and easy to understand!
Glad it helped! Share it if you can!
Very well explained, thank you and thank you to your son for his artistic talent .
An aviation enthusiast from France
No problem! Glad it helped. =)
I'm a CFI and I will be using this in some of my lessons. Thank you VERY much for this visual aid!
Glad it can help! I'll be producing some more Minecraft content soon to help students!
@@flywiththeguys Excellent I look forward to it, maybe even one on special use airspace!
@@flywiththeguys One correction I would make though, is that class D airspace typical radius is 4nm not 5. The 5 equivalent is statute miles.
@@jetfrostgaming I searched and searched for the answer on this when I made the video. I could find references to everything accept standard horizontal dimension because it's a calculation based off of the airports IFR departure needs, based of runway length and assuming a standard climb gradient. I think this is why when you look at different resources online, you'll find 4-5 NM as the standard answers, because thats roughly what you get when the math is done. Heres a good reference for it - www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/pham_html/chap17_section_2.html#3doI71270Chri
Thank you for the time you put into this project. Your altruism is uplifting for sure
I'm a visual learner and you helped me visualize this to where I finally understand! Thank You!
This is genius. Thank you so much to you and your son for creating this!
No problem! It was daunting getting through it, but it was worth it in the end.
Wow, 👏 The amount of information you packed in this video... Amazing. Thank you!
You're welcome. That's what we try to do with our videos. quick and to the point.
This is just magnificent! As a very rusty pilot trying to get back in the groove, this is probably the most visually clear way I have seen someone break down and explain airspace. Props to you, sir!
Thank you! Glad it was able to help. Fun to see how it all works. =)
Great video! The most clever way of explaining a difficult topic i've seen. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Looking forward to making more like this on difficult topics. Just simplifying things. 😀
Awesome video!!! This really helps explain the "upside-down wedding cake graphics", but so much better. Big congrats to your great Lil helpers.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!!! 😃It Can be overwhelming at first for sure! Loved the mine craft!! 🙌😍👍
It really can be. Thanks for watching!
The visuals were very helpful! Great job Thank you!
Thanks. Glad it helped!
That’s a pretty good video. Thanks for making this.
This is so awesome thank you so much! I've been watching countless airspace videos but they don't seem to click. The minecraft representation is collasally helpful, I truly appreciate it! New sub (;
Awesome! I'm glad it helped. We like the visual representation too. =)
I have watched several of your videos but this one earned the subscribe button. Thanks for explaining airspace in a 3D media.
Awesome, thank you! I loved making this video and besides my bias, it really simplifies things.
Thank you for taking the time to do this!
No problem. Hopefully it helped!
your whole family is incredible, thank you! so talented, you guys!
Thank you!
Top-notch level video and learning info is amazing. Thanks!
No problem. We tried to make it as easy as possible.
thanks for the awesome video!! made learning about airspace a lot more fun
Great to hear! We're planning on rebuilding these too!
Just got my PPL after five months of pretty intense training. Your videos were extremely helpful. Keep up the good work. You are helping a ton of people!🛩️
Great to hear! Thanks for coming back and reporting, I really appreciate it! Congrats!
WOOOW congrats any tips???
Going through my ground school and this is so much help! Thank you!!
Glad it helped! It was a fun one to make. Kinda want to remake it. Bigger, better!
Thank you so much, great video. Make it so easy to understanding airspace. Your drawing graph is great explanation to remembering.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an amazing resource, Thank you. I can’t imagine the amount of time nor effort you and your son must have put into those diagrams, but it was definitely worth it.
As a student pilot, videos like these help immensely to memorize the important info I need to know, and Im sure I’m not the only one that’s thankful that this video exists.
Glad you liked it!
Just awesome! Helped me a lot in my PPL. Thanks and regards.
Glad it helped!
Thanks, Carl! That visualization is great.
No problem! We really enjoyed making this one. There's nothing out there like it. =)
That VFR weather minimums aide has just made a world of difference for me! Thank you so much! I have been struggling with them for a long time but I think this graphic may have finally solved it for me!
Glad it helped! It's the one that pushed me over the edge too. Things FINALLY clicked.
Excellent video. Great visuals and clear, relevant info.
Thanks!
As a pilot in training ready to take my FAA checkride and written this was AMAZING!! Very educational and made all this confusing stuff really easy and fun to learn!! AMAZING VIDEO dude!! I feel like this is so good it could be used in a pilot course, just incredible video.
Thank you! We're glad it helped. =)
Wow. THE best airspace tutorial on UA-cam. Seriously. Thank you!!
You're very welcome! Glad it helped!
The simplest airspace video! Thank you!
Glad it helped! I'm making more soon too. =)
Fantastic way to explain all of it. I bet it took a while to construct all of this in the game. Nice work.
It did. But seeing REALLY helps understand airspace. I'm working on a 2.0 in the background where I recreate ALL of the Phoenix Airspace.
this is literally too helpful thank you so much for having your kid make this
Glad it helped!!!
Bravo! (Alpha, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Golf, too!!) Thanks so much. I'm prepping for my check-ride, but it's been 2 years since ground school. Great refresher. :) Blessings & blue skies!!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
This was super-helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Minecraft just made it easy.
Thanks! I finally get this. Simple in the hands of a great explainer. After hearing your historical perspective and rationale behind conversion of Class G above 1,200 AGL to Class E (e.g., GPS and direct flight paths), everything fell into place, Thanks!
Thank you SO much for the superthanks! We're just glad it helped things click for you! =)
Absolutely awesome video and the use of Minecraft was awesome thank you I better understand the VFR sectionals now.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting. We love it!
I've been studying for a month and just now found this video. It's one of the best visual aids I've found so far, good job! This deserves way more attention!
Agreed! I'm glad it helped though!
@@flywiththeguys I passed my part 107 btw. I kept hearing that sectional charts were the majority of the test but I was surprised at how much of the test was regulation info that I had never heard before.
Really good. Your mind craft is top tier. You are the best.
Thanks! Hope it all helped out!
Amazing effort! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Help spread the word on this one, we're kind of sad it didn't take off like some of our other videos!
Airspace has been kicking my tail and you just helped me big time! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Already know how to do this, saw the thumbnail, and liked the video!! This is so cool
Than you! Glad you enjoyed it. =)
Pretty clear, great useful. Thank you!)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for doing this video. This is a great visual aid the explain the airspace complexity.
No problem! I kinda want to rebuild the video, edit it better, but it's still a great tool!
@@flywiththeguys I’m currently getting lessons to fly ultralights per part 103. After that I’ll shoot for the LSA. That’s why this view is so important to me.
I just came across this on my recommendations. 2 years prior, this video was used to help demonstrate at a community college class I attended.
I hear that a lot believe it or not. LOL. I'm glad it's still performing well and helping people out!
Very cool explanation. I've seen other 3D visualizations that may have been more accurate, but tagging it with Minecraft I'm *sure* led to more views (mine included!)
Also- I really liked the E-G day/night visual representation chart you made at the end- that was *awesome*, and a great visual mnemonic. Thanks!
Oh yes, plenty out there that are more accurate. This is just for the visuals and it helps a lot! Thanks for watching and enjoying it!
Very well done!! Thank you!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching, we hope it helped.
Very Good and very helpful. That is one smart boy you have making those mind craft examples.
HE IS! He made the large after about 5 minutes of me showing him how it works on the sectional.
Love it!! Thank you 🙌
You're welcome. Hopefully it helped!
This deserves hundreds of thousands of views. I’ll be sharing with all of my friends
Agreed! 😀
Thanks for all your videos, they are appreciated....
My pleasure!
Amazing) thanks for your work!!!
You're welcome. I hope it helped!
That actually helped more and greater than I thought it would...Thank you!
Glad it helped! It was a fun one to make. Tried to be straight forward with the information and simplify it so it was understandable.
@@flywiththeguys Yes Sir, that definitely helped with the example /model. Great Job! Tell your son thank you as well! 🙂
Excellent presentation!! Thanks.
Hope it helped!
Going through flight training now with my dollar ride in a few days. We learned mainly what the bases and ceilings are and how they are depicted, but it was just too much to keep track of without any other visual aid or even a real good explanation of what is going on and why.
Class E and G were the most confusing for me, but describing it like a blanket, occasionally being "pushed down" to 700' AGL or even to SFC for IFR traffic triggered that "aha!" moment for me. So much easier to understand now, will definitely help me during flight planning. Thank you so much for this video!
Glad it helped. It's literally why I made this video. The visual aids, no matter how silly in Minecraft, are incredibly helpful.
My flight instructor gave me homework of learning airspace since I'm entering a Bravo on Tuesday (one of the busiest bravos in America too.) I appreciate this video it helped me learn a little bit more!
No problem. Wish we had our last few videos for talking to ATC completed. We're about to record Bravo landings and transitions!
This video really helped with visuals. This is a clear example as to how video games are actually good for you
LOL. I've proven that FS2020 is good too. =)
5:15 blew my mind that you made that in Minecraft! Props dude!
My son did a great job at it, but really paints the picture of what it all looks like. =)
@@flywiththeguys he did a fantastic job!
This is the best piece of study material I have ever seen in 26 years of being a student.
The best I've seen. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Really helped me. Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
Good stuff man. The Minecraft thing was really cool
Thanks! I hope it helped.
I just started watching, hell I'm already pretty familiar with Airspace. The idea alone is great lol 10/10.
Thanks!
This video is incredible I can’t thank you enough
Glad you liked it! We're planning more videos to help people understand aviation concepts quick!
Good job and thank you for your effort.
Thank you!
This is literally the best video in the world. Minecraft is and has been my favourite childhood game and never imagined I could mix it with my studies. THANK YOU
Glad it helped!
Thank You So Much you made It 10X Easier to understand!
Glad it helped!
Working on my commercial right now and just refreshing airspace and VFR weather minima. This is a great representation.
Thanks!
Fantastic, video thank youuuuuuuu
this is so helpful thank you for posing it
No problem. Glad it helped!
Behold, the holy grail of airspace tutorials for visual learners!
Agreed! Glad you liked it. =)
Amazing!
Wow definitely gave me a better understanding about airspace!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.
You really did a good job . Well done
Thank you!
Thank you’ this has been so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
This might be the most genius video I've ever seen.
We like it and it was a fun way to make sense of airspace.
That "Class B" is INSANE. Made the whole video worth it.
Hopefully visualizing it helped!
Very informative thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you this is so helpful !
GOOD! We had a lot of fun making this one.
Thanks for that graphic explanation!
No problem. Hopefully it worked.
Man. What a video. Best on UA-cam
Appreciate that! And hole heartedly agree. I'm going to be doing some more fun things with minecraft in a bit. =)
Taking my ADX Cert Exam on Friday! This was a huge help! Understanding airspace has been killing me.
GOOD LUCK! Glad this helped. =)
This. You sir just provided some training that you can’t get at most schools. Bravo.
Thank you for that! We thought this type of representation would help a lot of people, but find it odd that it's not growing like we thought it would. If you have the chance, like and share!
love the vids!
Thanks!
Brilliant, Carl!!
Thanks Dan! We worked really hard on this one!
Excellent video. Great visuals and clear, relevant info.. Excellent video. Great visuals and clear, relevant info..
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm in pilot school, and airspace has been my kryptonite so far
Thank you for making this videos is okay I can use this video for My CFI lesson on the National Airspace
You're welcome to play it in any setting from UA-cam. =)
Thank you so much for the video
No problem. Hopefully it was helpful. =)
Great work! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
