This video finally made me realize the concept of PA and DA. It was the graph you had on the bottom left with the troposphere. I could not grasp that concept for anything until you explained it like that. Now I see where the high to low look out below and low to high look to the sky concepts come from. Thank you!!
Hunter, Glad to hear I was of help and good luck on your CFI checkride. I have two former students who are also having their CFI checkrides in Keene. One just had the oral portion of hers last week and will have her flight portion this coming week. The other one has her checkride in the next two weeks down at Keene as well.
Very good! I like that you did the math manually. I’ve never seen it worked out like that on paper. We always were just shown to find it on the e6B… thank you for this!
absolutely great video! I just have a quick question if you don’t mind me asking. So, in general whenever the temperature is hotter the troposphere actually rises and when the temperature is colder the troposphere is lower? So the aircraft is realistically lower on colder days and higher on hotter days? Hope to hear back as I have my checkride this Thursday.. Thanks!
In colder months the troposphere/tropopause is lower due to less convection. And yes, remember that going from hot to cold air mass look out below. But as long as you dial in the correct local barometric pressure you will have an accurate altitude measurement.

Thank you for posting this! I’m taking my CFI checkride at keene next week and it is helpful seeing how other people teach this stuff
