“You can learn to fly in 10 hours. The rest of the training is learning to land”
🤣💪
I’m a B-737 captain, I can see how lucky are those students. They’ve got 2 teachers with doctorate degrees as well as practical experience
Was your rtr exam hard
@@mandeepjj1962 What is RTR you refer to?
@@colonyresident7151 it's the Indian licence thing for the radio
@@IshaqKhan-ri7hi I have no clue about rtr
@@colonyresident7151 Many states outside the USA require a specific exam for radio phraseology
my love for flying started at 5 when I went up in a helicopter at the fair. My uncle was a pilot and at 8 he would let me taxi the plane on the taxi strip. Once we were airborne he taught me the basics as I got the feel for the plane. I began by holding the plane straight and level and maintaining a course... by sight first then use of the compass. It was magical to take off on a cloudy and raining day and climb through the clouds to the blue sky and sunshine above!
Thank you Phil and Tina and MIT!!!!!!!!! This series will be a nice review as I studied this type of material last year.
Great course. It is nice that the lecturers are people simply passionate about flying.
Even I can't ride a bicycle well, here I am learning how to fly a plane
Don't worry, same here lol
"Jarvis, sometimes you gotta run before you can walk"
how many hours do you have on that bicycle?
Wonderful..... so proud we still have this so many good pilots come from knowing the mathematics behind what they are doing.
I can't imagine you're providing this course for free. Thank you very much.
As someone who recently completed me PPL in Canada, I am genuinely surprised how straight forward that frost question was.
Transport Canada in comparison will make the question as hard as possible to comprehend, that simple frost question for example will ask you exactly how much lift you lose and how much drag you gain by by % (30% less lift and 40% more drag), and will make two answers similar enough to cause confusion.
What an amazing course for pilots. Thanks MIT.
It's on my bucket list. Thank you MITOCW.
Thank you Tina, Philip and MIT. Great job for free!
I get a lot of knowledge from MIT Open Course Ware, thanks, I love all!
THANK YOU UA-cam FOR RECOMMENDING THESE VIDEOS REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE 📛
It's so much interesting to know the lot from limited time of your consise study.
Tina has great energy!
Finally a MIT OCW I can fully understand :-)
That’s what I was thought too. Lol
lmao
Dr. Srivastava is an exceptional teacher, instructor and inspirational person. I’m a reasonably smart guy, and I learned a huge amount from her lecture.
I believe that Dr. Tina should become a role model for young Americans. Far too many young girls and boys have no direction. Imagine taking a class to an airfield and having Tina introduce underprivileged children to the marvels of flight. How does a person learn all of this? Through having an enquiring mind. All that needs to happen is to plant the seed into one's mind.
Minorities also require role models.
Remember the motion picture Hidden Figures that covers the lives of 1950’s black female brilliant mathematicians working at NASA. Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughn crunched the numbers prior to the application of supercomputers. During World War 2, the all-black military pilots known as The Tuskegee Airmen flew dangerous missions. They never lost a pilot. There is 1955 movie “The Tuskegee Airmen” that is a must-see.
And finally, as a major role model, is Dr. Ben Carson is recognized as one of the world’s preeminent neurosurgeons. His childhood did have complications. However, by the ninth grade, he was improving in school and the rest is history as he went on to graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School and later Carson was appointed the John’s Hopkins university's Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery.
There of course are other brilliant minorities who have achieves success in academia and architecture.
However, it was Dr. Srivastava’s MIT lecture that captivated me, and due to her being employed in a senior position at Raytheon, one of America's leading R&D and defense contractors, I believe that CRT (Critical Race Theory horror story!!) as being forced upon school students is doing a huge disservice to our country. Throw out the horrible teachers. We need more intelligent caring teachers and professors like Dr. Tina to shape the minds of our kindergarten and grade school students in order for The United States of America to soar to newer heights, and who knows....on a wing or aircraft designed by a young mind who was inspired by Dr. Srivastava. Brava Doctor!
from a Air Force brat who went to kindergarten in Wellfleet and ended up in A&P school decades later...I found even the boring pace of this all very fascinating. I miss Massachusetts.
MIT X 1960, ex 82nd Airborne Division Paratrooper, Licensed Private Pilot. All the Way!
Just when I thought MIT couldn't get any more awesome. :D
Thank you for the course. Happy to see that a Brazilian was a part of the workshop programme.

There, I added something to the MIT knowledge base.
being an iitbombay aerospace student it is very amazing course to learn thanks MIT team
AT5 YEARS OF AGE I HAVE A DREAM TO FLY A JET PLANE ,
AND WILL ALSO JOIN THE PAKISTAN AIR FORCE BUT BEFORE IT
I WILL SURE MY SELF THAT BEFORE GOING TO PAF I HVE LEARN'T EVERY THING .
SO THANK YOU MIT.
Thank you
Okay but why did Maxwell write equations which preferred DC radios and AC motors in avionics?
I enjoyed what I saw here. A lesson on Risk Management would be beneficial to the lecture series plus a study of crashes and the mistakes the pilot(s) and/ or control tower made. Whether you have 20 or 8,000 hours you can still corkscrew into the ground. Aviation is unforgiving. Not everyone has the wherewithal to become a pilot. It requires more than smarts.
This talk is both fantastic and frightening
it’s so great!
Just keep one thing in mind when you see its MIT putting this out. It don't mean squat where you got your training... Think of ALL the highly successful Military and commercial pilots who NEVER went to MIT, or ivy league schools and Universities to get their ratings. For example, I know a former student of mine who went to Western Illinois University, for their ROTC program and is now a V22 osprey pilot for the Marine Corps. Did he go to MIT? NO! Another student of mine studied broadcast meteorology at Illinois State, got all his ratings from private pilot thru CFII & MEI at his local airport, started flight instructing to build time and is now a captain for United flying B777. When I wanted to learn how to fly i attended a seminar in the Chicagoland area, and an old United Airlines pilot once told me.. "the airlines don't care what school you went to, all they care about is that you have a degree in something and your total flight time and what you did in that flight time, so I highly suggest getting your ratings as fast as you can and start building time!" Period.
MIT is just the best ! 💯
So do so many other universities. IIT Kanpur even has an airstrip and a hanger in the campus
😮😮 Kanpur = Boston
Thanks for the content.
great content... thanks for sharing
8:55 is that Matt Guthmiller in the front row?? 👀
Thanks teena ❤❤from st Mary's aviation department ❤
I wanna learn this course cause I wanna join the Indian Air Force!🇮🇳❤️
You don't need to learn this course in order to join IAF. U need to pass IAF's own standardized tests and interviews..after u are selected u wil be taken to IAF's flight school and u will be given combat as well as general flight training. Remember, a combat flight training is much more sofisticated .
@@SPEARHEADGLOBAL Hey!😅
get to fly planes? damn I need to get into MIT.
This makes me feel poor :(
reviewing ty
I see Matt Guthmiller on the group photo at 8:50
6:15
"There's a bizarre focus on training one person to do everything". Everything! oh my how taxing!
That's the most bizarre thought I've heard expressed since embarking on pilot training.
How many study this content for making UA-cam video 1
I've always been a Honda geek and interested in aviation. 4:05 "You could've gotten door to door faster in your Honda"
Wait! Is this the same Philip Greenspun who used to do amazing photography? I have a low-res photo of a fern forest he shot decades ago. I wonder if he'd send me the original photo? :-)
Can a student participating in this course get an endorsement?
Nope... but if you pass your written test, that's all the endorsement you will need. ;)
Aways wanted to become a privacy piolet byt never had clue where and how to get admission
Is that lesson in Harvard university ???
if you like older guys, which i do luv it
This makes me want to learn how to fly so bad
Hi there and G'day from Australia , enjoying the video's . but can i ask what MIT stands for ?
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
web.mit.edu
I know it’s been years since these were uploaded, but I really want to know what test prep book you guys are using?
From the syllabus ( ocw.mit.edu/16-687IAP19 ):
FAA Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge
www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/
FAA Airplane Flying Handbook
www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/airplane_handbook/
FAA Helicopter Flying Handbook

Al last I cany ride my apache helicopter
10:13 lmaoo🤣😂
Respected MIT, I visited your website for courses. But I don't how to get video lectures . Can you help me please?
You can download the videos from the Internet Archive at: archive.org/details/MIT16.687IAP19. Best wishes on your studies!
@@mitocw Thank you so much❤.

😍😍🥰🥰🤩🤩
It took them almot 30 minutes to get to anything of any interest, after we had to listen to them telling us about their personal lives. B-O-R-I-N-G!
When you don’t understand its gonna be boring 😀.
@@Mathew.BM.MJ. What a stupid comment! There is nothing to understand when you are listening to someone rambling on about her personal lives.
I'll bet you are a big poster on Twitter, because these are the types of inane comments I used to see over there before closing my account. Do the world a favor and go back to Twitter where they will love your snide commentary!
By the way, bigmouth, I have an M.S, in Physics and have taught this type of material for 33 years, so yes, I understand a lot better than you which is why I was annoyed at having to listen to her ramble on about her personal life.
It's not a movie, Buffon! They r in a class full of students where personal interactions are a pre-requisite.
Can i earn a certificate when i am completed this course.

Is this truly pilot ground school? Could a student sit for the exam after watching this course?
You'd also have to read the book. I'm not sure if that's enough, though.
Yes, they mentioned that most students who finish this course go on to take the test right after.
If you mean the actual MIT people there, then yes. If you mean people who are participating in the online OCW, then no.
Flew a CRJ-200 for Delta Airlines? I'm going to go with false and also not how you correctly spell Delta Air Lines
Nice catch!
well he probably did fly crj for delta connection

Good grief. "IFR" does NOT stand for "instrument flight ratings", as she said. "Rules", not "ratings".

Indian people are witling to give presentations , aren't they ?
the Indian era is coming!
holy cow.... this is one of the worst intro to flying lectures i've even heard. nice job immediately telling students things like "commercial travel is really safer" or one of the most idiotic things you could tell anyone about the Cirrus regard the ballistic parachute. students.. i have not been flying long since i learned at 49 years old with only a few hundred hours, ... and i have been qualified to fly a club Cirrus (you don't have to be a zillionaire to fly). 99% of the pilots you meet are not nearly as pompous as this guy.... it will be worth the effort.
Lmfao…IFR doesn’t stand for “instrument flight rating”🙄🫡
