Melbourne Australia well good morning
back how is tomorrow morning Johnny
that's all I want to know David The
Aviator West Texas good to see you Greg
Alexander in Santa Barbara great to see
you uh Nick yeah this is going to be not
only a mock check ride for Private Pilot
I'm gonna do private some instrument
some commercial and some CFI level
questions as well Tyler good to see you
Tom I've been to Battle Creek Michigan
for the aopa fly-in uh Jeremy and
Lansing great to see you I saw Denver go
flying by Craig you're down in Venice
tonight quite the quite the long commute
for you you know Maryland's back in
Illinois Ryan I like your profile
pictures G1000 in Ohio Lee in Rhode
Island awesome awesome

m0a online Ground School adjacent
Shepherd here welcome to the webinar it
is a mock check ride live and I am so
thankful thankfully you're staying up
late for some of you I saw Johnny
watching from Melbourne Australia as
well thank you so much for just taking
time out of your busy day to find new
ways to better yourselves as a pilot I'm
truly so so excited to see you all out
there let's give some shout outs I'm
looking this way I'm looking at the chat
I see the one and only coach Ray I see
Jennifer Gates long time no see
um Old Line Aviation on YouTube John De
La Cruz good to see you a crunk
just a good good username Valerie great
to see you Mr Vargas Marty Miller two
two Classics that are always here I mean
that classic like you're you're always
there not that you are a classic by any
means so don't take that the wrong way
Marty I love you uh Ahmad good to see
you Omar great to see you so thankful so
tonight uh is a mock check ride I'm
gonna be asking you actual FAA check
ride questions from Private Pilot check
rides instrument commercial and even CFI
level check rides and you're going to be
doing your best to type those answers
into the chat so that's how this is
going to uh work out here hey um while
we're at it do I have any first timers
on the webinar this is your first time
ever seeing Jason live even though it's
remotely I know you watch the Youtube
videos I know you watch the Facebook
videos or or the podcast or you've read
some of the books whatever it is but
first time type in me in the chat if
this is your first time
um on a live webinar love to see those
first timers as well Justin says Private
Pilot check ride next Saturday
I love it look at all these first timers
coming in Jacob Joe Vito Omar uh Benji
Stephen uh Magno good to see you hey
Todd hey Heather uh username Falcon
something Falcon just went flying by uh
Gizmo good to see you all these
usernames Ray Bell great to see you so
thankful uh you all are here now in
addition to that
where are my ground School members at I
know my ground School members are out
there The Ground School members well you
all see me every single week in fact
we've been in this mock check Ride May
series and every week in addition to the
online Ground School videos I do live
webinars with the online Ground School
members and a smaller group than this
there's three or four hundred of you all
watching this come on YouTube and
Facebook together now a much smaller
group and a chance just to get uh
together with that so where my ground
School members at there's Valerie uh
there's there's Mike good to see you all
uh on here as well just so thankful
again especially the Ground School
members taking time like as if you don't
see enough Jason you're still you're
still here watching You're Still That
Good Pilot who is always learning so
really really uh thankful uh for that as
well if you're not an online Ground
School member and you want to check out
some of those webinars and some of those
videos you can always do that the URL is
m0atrial.com so if you need to get
written test done you need to get a
check ride done you just want to be that
good pilot who's always learning check
it out where msri is so much more than
just great videos and podcasts and live
streams it's a full online Ground School
for you as well and we get to interact
if you're a gold member we do webinars
like this each and every week so hey
Willie good to see you uh there's David
good to see you on here as well Leo
another Ground School member great to
see you so as we dive into this here and
I want to honor everybody's time my goal
is to have you out of here by the top of
the hour
but my ground School members know
that can be a little verbose sometimes
so I'll do my best to try to get us out
of here at the top of the hour because I
know it's late for some of you early for
for others as well but I want to talk
about really the mock check ride rules
for tonight
and really there's there's there's three
Simple Rules to This
first thing is I ask that you play full
out right there's no there's no fear
there's no there's nothing like that
there's no criticism here I ask that you
play full out this is not a time to be
sitting back being a Wallflower you will
get out of this what you're willing to
put into it so I'm going to be asking
questions and you're going to be doing
your best to type in your correct
answers now there's some complex things
I I'm not grading spelling or anything
like that I'm just asking to play full
out the second thing is this
if for some reason you don't know an
answer I ask that you would have the
humility to just type a question mark in
the chat if you don't know because you
see this really allows me to know how
deep do I need to dive into the teaching
aspect of this you know if I ask a
question let's say a simple question
um you know eight tomato Flames or
something everybody here probably knows
unless you're really new to Aviation and
I get no question marks I know hey we
can breeze on to the next question but
if I ask a question and we get you know
one two three question marks it allows
me to gauge how deep I need to dive into
explaining this
and then the third and final rule is
this if I pick on you and and My Ground
School members know what I'm talking
about if I call you out by name based on
what your response is I'm not literally
picking on you I'm and I'm I'm giving
you constructive criticism from a place
of love so if I look and I see if I see
Aaron D who just said howdy from Texas
and Aaron types in an answer that's
maybe partially true but there's some
issues with it I would say hey Aaron
don't say that say this now I'm not
calling Aaron out to embarrass him in
front of 400 of his closest friends I'm
reaching out to Aaron to say Hey listen
love you like a brother let's answer
that question this way instead is that
is that fair so if you are up for all of
those things type in me in the chat if
you're ready to play full out you're
ready to engage and type in a question
mark if you don't know it
um and if I pick on you if I call you
out by name it's from a place of love
type in me in the chat if you are ready
to play full out and then we will get
started here by the way we're also going
to be announcing the winner of the mock
check ride with Jason uh uh tonight
we'll be at the very end we'll announce
that winner one lucky person is going to
win a personalized version of this a
personalized mock check ride uh with me
so really really excited uh about that
and hey just one other thing too
thank you for all the me's thank you for
all the agreement by the way and
everything else we just do one thing for
me
um will you share this uh if you know
someone who has a check ride coming up
whatever it is you're on Facebook you're
on YouTube now share this grab the link
text it to a friend whatever it is get
them on here because we're about ready
to get rolling
um with all of this so uh and again one
more time uh the URL for that trial I
saw someone ask Magda has it m0a
trial.com Jamie Mac and I say hi good
good to see you on here so before I get
to a question
I want to share with you one one
important thing because this this tees
up the mock check ride
um what should you expect on your check
ride because I realize there's some of
you have a Private Pilot check ride
coming up and you may have no idea what
to actually expect on that check ride
first and foremost let me tell you this
is going to be a conversation
now it's a conversation between you and
your DPE it's a conversation but at the
same time I need you to avoid What I
Call Check ride pitfalls now what a
check ride Pitfall is is
um hey Jason what are the uh what is
hypoxia and you go well Mr Miss uh
evaluator they're called evaluators
they're no longer check out examiners by
the way well Mr Miss evaluator hypoxia
is a lack of oxygen to the brain and uh
did you know there's four types of
hypoxia
do you see what I did there I gave up
too much information what do you think
the next question from the DP is going
to be that's four types of hypoxia
that's fascinating what are the four
types of hypoxia now I know you all know
that answer well most you know that
answer but do you see what I mean a
check right is more like a deposition
you ever been deposed it's not a
glamorous thing you answer the question
and then you zip it is what your
attorney says right answer the question
and zip it that's what a check ride is
it's still got a conversational feel to
it but don't dig yourself into a check
ride Pitfall answer that question only
that question and then zip it
now some other things people don't
realize on a check ride is and we teach
this it sounds silly but like what do
you wear to a check ride I always tell
people dress like you're going to golf
at a decent golf course like please
don't wear flip-flops or cut off jean
shorts or or anything like that you're
going golfing and I don't even golf but
you're going golfing at a nice golf
course I know some of you are flying in
the desert or in Florida in August and
it's hot I get it but you wear a golf
polo and some golf shorts or something
if that's what works for you bring lots
of snacks who knows what I mean when I
say bring a lot of snacks to your check
ride I I was the one that was always I
brought snacks for my check ride
examiner I didn't want them to be hungry
and grumpy and hangry and everything
else too and as far as what to bring I
always I had this reputation at my
flight school I brought all my books I
had this milk crate and I would
literally bring all my books because
remember you don't have to know
everything but you got to know where to
find it so just keep that in mind as
well so with that let's go ahead and
let's oh I want to read coach Ray's
comment real quick he said dress nice
be 20 or 30 minutes early please thank
you coach I love that be organized be
polite professional sets the tone goes a
long way with the DPE so so right show
don't show up late because you'll be
flustered they'll be flustered I used to
get there like an hour early and I
wanted to check out the room and the
environment and and make sure the AC
wasn't like too freezing because I'd be
shivering in there and I'm already
nervous I would set all these all these
things up
um with uh with that one so hey let's
dive into it here's how it's going to
work I'm going to ask the question I'm
gonna do my best to zip it and that's
hard for me to zip it sometimes if you
can't tell I'm gonna do my best to zip
it and you are going to type in your
correct answers remember play full out
if you don't know put a question mark in
the chat and send that so I know and if
I pick on you it's from a place of Love
here is your first question of the night
what two factors affect stall speed
and I can tell you if you're a ground
School member I just asked this
yesterday on the mock check right for My
Ground School members
so they better remember this one
I like Lauren's comment by the way she
said I showed up late and I can confirm
the DFE does not prefer that
what two factors affect
stall speed
John De La Cruz I'm picking on you
because I love you and I want to be big
and strong like you when I grow up you
know when I met John De La Cruz at
Oshkosh he's a strong guy that military
training
Mr De La Cruz
you used the word load Factor
let me ask you the question another way
what um what are some things that
contribute
to load Factor if you are thinking load
Factor
I want you to rethink it and think what
would be a Cause
of load factor to affect stall speed
if you insert like a few
angle of attack remember and again you
gotta realize in a real check ride
the DPE will not teach if you answer the
question load Factor they're just going
to go huh
interesting tell me more about that
you've done yourself a check ride
Pitfall with an incorrect answer
if you answered angle of attack
I would encourage you to remember that
an aircraft stalls at the same critical
angle of attack although that speed may
change
what are the two main factors that that
bring about that change what two factors
affect stall speed you're ready for the
answer here it comes
they are weight
and CG weight and CG all right let me
explain it to you here weight and CG
here's beloved 2-3 Mike Zulu how does
weight affect something like our stall
speed well let's imagine there's four
big strong people in this airplane and
you know just because the 172 has four
seat belts doesn't mean you should put
four booties in those seats right four
big people we're at Max uh we'll say max
weight
I'm going to exaggerate this a little
bit but when you're at the max gross
weight your airplane is flying around
kind of like this it's kind of like a
boat trying to get up on plane I'm
exaggerating it it's really not this
much but I'm just doing it so I can show
it to you now remember what we said
you stall at the same critical angle of
attack every time let's pretend it's
right here
if I am already flying around like this
because I'm heavy right I'm already
flying around like this because I'm
heavy I am closer to reaching that
critical angle of attack meaning I'm
gonna grab it a little bit sooner does
that make sense at a faster speed does
that make sense for everybody I'm sorry
I know a few you said it's buffering we
just I hear a bunch of rain and
lightning and everything else outside so
I'm sure the weather's not helping does
that make sense how weight affects it as
opposed to when you're lighter you're
flying around more like this and you're
further from that critical angle of
attack you're further from that critical
angle of attack
thus you have more time to slow down
before you reach that now the other
factor of this was and are we back by
the way is it is it um
are we back are we still buffering or
anything like that I'm just just curious
I mean not much we can do on uh on our
end uh here but hopefully
um all back and it says we're still live
so I'll keep going just in case
um the other Factor uh is CG how does CG
uh affect everything here well let me
show you something let me show you a a
chart here so we can really uh work
through this here look at the very
bottom and this is so screenshot worthy
by the way grab grab a screenshot of
this all right you guys got me good good
good uh the ring just literally I heard
it stop we have a metal roof like a
hanger so you hear everything
um look at stall speed here
in aft CG
causes a lower stall speed because
there's less swing loading compared to a
forward CG
which is because of increased Wing
loading why is that the case well let's
come back and I'm going to explain
explain weight again just in case you
didn't catch that because we're
buffering right if I have same thing if
I have an app CG and CG is nothing more
everything most things have a CG where
my clicker for my slides would balance
that was not the CG but where everything
would balance right
so if my CG is back here by the baggage
compartment I am balancing a little bit
more like this I am once again it's a
critical angle of attack I am further
away from that critical angle of attack
as opposed to flying around with a
forward CG where I balance a little bit
more like this
I'm already flying at a higher angle of
attack I'm closer to the critical angle
of attack thus I'll reach it sooner thus
I'll reach it at a faster speed I know
we are buffering earlier with that
little cell that just went through I'll
explain weight again just briefly you're
flying around you're heavy you're
literally flying around like a boat
trying to get on plane again not this
exaggerated but about like this you
stall at the same critical angle attack
which is right here you are just
naturally closer to hitting that
critical angle of attack at your faster
speed
that is why the heavier you are the the
faster you're going to stall you'll
reach that same critical angle attack
you'll just reach it so much sooner does
that make sense for everybody let's
stick with some of these aerodynamic
type principles here let's see how we do
with this one this is a commercial pilot
level question but I guarantee some
private Pilots can do this question the
question is this what are the two types
of drag
what are the two types there there's two
real main types of drag that affects our
aircraft what are the two types of drag
you all answer that
and I I'm gonna grab a sip of T here
real quick
and John Dela Cruz to summarize what you
said there yes we could word it a little
bit better he said so the heavier you
are the more angle of attack you need to
keep level the more pitch up you need
yes
um good Chris good Lane good John
good Dave G good Lauren I'd expect an
engineer to know that
um
Magno thank you for your humility I
really appreciate that
username Smokey Bear air good name
you're very correct
Corey on YouTube you're right
Valerie of course you're right
Patrick Smith good good and by now
obviously you can see it in the chat
what those answers are hey Jeff Gerard
good to see you you are very very
correct so there are two types of drag
and I appreciate Ray Bell and the few
question marks that came in there there
are two types of drag and if you had a
question on this
don't be discouraged this is like some
Advanced Private Pilot and some basic
commercial pilot type knowledge the
answers are this they are parasite drag
and induced drag
parasite drag and induced drag and let
me give you a brief summary of them
parasitic drag has everything to do
essentially with things on the airplane
the things your antennas your rivets all
these different things
um
cause parasitic drag think of think it
literally the word parasite
um your uh your car is covered with love
bugs it creates parasitic drag that's
that's kind of where the idea comes from
to remember that induced drag on the
other hand induced drag is everything to
do as a byproduct of lift induced drag
is a byproduct of lift in fact the
science and I'll I geek out on this more
inside the online Ground School for
private and everything else again m0a
trial.com if you want to see it
um
ground effect is nothing more than
playing around and using drag
efficiently believe it or not have you
ever wondered on your soft field
takeoffs why can you pop it up early
push it forward and hold the airplane
and ground effect how can you rotate
sooner and how can you be flying sooner
than you should be and your instructor
just says oh a ground effect you're like
riding on a pocket of air they're kind
of correct
oddly enough you're actually using
induced drag to a benefit to get the
airplane flying sooner does does that
make sense
um a little bit there as uh as well and
again I apologize for for buffering
issues uh and uh and such here our
Internet's just um not not making the
cut today here
so anyways the two types of drag the two
types of drag are parasite or sometimes
called parasitic and induced drag okay
um am I am I back Am I Still Still
buffering like uh like crazy here okay
uh magnet you got it over there she says
she's got it all right so the two types
of drag are parasitic and induced drag
let's jump now and let's look at our
next question here next question here
what are the three types of parasitic
drag
what are the three types of parasitic
drag so we just spoke
um we just spoke about the two types of
drag
parasite and induced
now I want to break it down further
there are three types of parasitic drag
and I want to I want you know and again
this is this is very much a comp
commercial pilot level type question
what are the three types of parasitic
drag and I realize I probably am still
buffering
um because there's not a million
questions uh or a million responses
coming in now now it's better I asked
the question what are the three types of
parasitic drag what are the three types
of parasitic drag here so we talked
about the two main types of drag the two
main types of drag are parasite and
induced and we can even break those down
into additional categories there are
three types of parasitic drag John De La
Cruz you're getting close
Ahmad good job
um Iran good job Pamela great job
Ray p over on YouTube good Chris
Covington that's one of them that's one
of them you want to take a stab at some
others Michael J McMurray thank you for
your humility my friend great to see you
Dave G of course you know the answer
of course you know the answer Pamela I
knew what you meant
on YouTube
G Weezy TV
good username and and good answer I like
it
Salon yes good
what are the three types of parasitic
drag you got at Lane you got it Jeff you
got it Lori everybody ready for this
they are
skin
form
an interference grab a screenshot of
that so you remember it
skin
form and interference let me explain
each of these
skin parasitic drag has everything to do
exactly with the skin an example of that
would be rivets rivets on the airplane
now if you're like coach Ray and you fly
a serious you're probably going I fly
serious what's a rivet well back in the
olden days we used to fly airplanes that
have rivets now all you fancy you know
composite airplane Flyers you don't know
what a rivet is anymore but who
remembers the olden days when we had
rivets two through Mike Zulu must have
70 000 rivets I don't know I haven't had
the privilege of counting them all
but rivets as small as they are are an
example of skin parasitic drag next is
form form parasitic drag and form like
like rivets you can't really change form
is exactly that it is the shape of the
aircraft it's how the aircraft was
designed do I have any uh Cessna
Cardinal Pilots out there you ever see a
Cessna Cardinal it doesn't have a strut
which you go oh that must be great that
must reduce form drag and it does right
because that would be how the airplane
is designed by having a strut or not
having a strut me having a strut this
strut creates form because it's how the
airplane was formed it's made that way I
can't change it
form parasitic drag now the last bit is
interference and interference parasitic
drag I'll use the strut as another
example
interference drag parasigdrag is how the
air interacts around the certain
attachment points for example this strut
is not very aerodynamic you know Clyde
Cessna tried and the engineers tried but
it's not very aerodynamic so how the air
interacts around the attachment points
and actually if you ever get the
privilege of seeing your airplane or a
model of your airplane in a wind tunnel
you'll notice the wind comes over the
strut and behind the strut actually
spins up and back into itself and it
creates drag it's an attachment point
that actually slows you down why do you
think wheel pants make the aircraft two
to three knots faster
it changes the form as opposed to just a
tire there right
um in fact I know as I was joking with
my Cirrus Pilots about lack of rivets
um but Cirrus just launched on their
newer models
um the uh the improved wheel pants they
claim another four or five knots on
wheel pants like when you get into and
really the understanding the engineering
side of drag the thing is it becomes
exponential one rivet on my airplane
doesn't add a whole lot of drag but
however many thousands of rivets on my
airplane all compound to make a a
lasting effect on 2-3 mic Zulu and the
performance of it okay so let's show it
again here the answer uh there's three
types of parasitic drag they are skin
form and interference and let me tell
you this is very much that that we just
took to a commercial pilot level if
you're a Private Pilot it's awesome you
know that now but let me tell you
because that's a commercial pilot type
of thing by the way Chris Ritchie asks
wheel pants yes my airplane wears pants
wheel pants are the coverings
um around the uh around the tires those
are those are wheel pants which are
great they're not great in a training
environment
um because if you blow a tire it just
takes longer to change a tire but these
add like two or three knots and in a 172
I'll take every knot I can get all right
let's keep moving here while the
internet's behaving nicely all right
this one even my private policy before
we show it Magda I want you to answer
everybody here should know the answer to
this question if you don't
step in the step in the humility corner
and uh and just type that question mark
in there
um I want you to answer this question
based on the level of pilot you are
or are working towards if you're working
towards commercial or our commercial
pilot I need an answer like a commercial
pilot would or like a CFI would or just
like a private pile of wood here is your
question
what are the four left turning
tendencies
what are the four left turning
Tendencies now
how many of you right now are going
what do you mean there's four left
turning Tendencies I know there's
someone out there to be so humble to
share like I I what do you mean four
left turning tendencies
let's see how we can do on uh on this
one
Nathan a young great to see you
by the way Racine said they asked me
this info on Private Pilot I'm telling
you
there are four left turning tendencies
and you need to know them coach Ray I
knew you would know that
Lane Mr check ride coming up what in a
week
good job
Bill we'll get we'll get there
eventually we'll get there eventually
let's see
Samuel you got two of them can you give
me one more
season that's great
Tyler that's great
Ness that's one of them
Dave G great
Jamie great
Dan The MENTOR says P factor is all I
got that's fine hey bonus points
who knows that this is this is now on
your check ride this is just bonus
points for fun trivia with your friends
who knows the real name for pfactor
and I don't mean propeller Factor P
factor is short for propeller Factor but
propeller propeller factor is slang for
this term
that's why I want to know that was like
I felt like a Jeopardy question
propeller Factor slang for this term I
want an answer like Jeopardy what is
John De La Cruz you're on to something
you're really onto something
thank you Dave G I knew you would know
that I knew you would know that
um Bennett said I know but I'm not going
to elaborate hashtag checkride pitfall
you got it hey Bob good to see you
you're you're super close
Dan thanks that's why we like you so
that's why I like him sorry the details
are important we're always working on
the details
all right
good job Mr Delta 88 you are very very
correct and and and you're flying jets
now and you still know about that P
Factor thing I love it all right
so the question says what are the four
left turning Tendencies how many of you
went
I didn't know there was four I just
thought there's this P Factor thing well
you're right P factor is one of the four
types of left turning Tendencies you see
we make a mistake when we are into three
Mike Zulu or when you're in your
airplane and every time you you know you
give it full power and it pulls you to
the left you go oh that darn P Factor
let me tell you something when you're on
the ground and you apply full power and
you have to put a heavy right foot
because you're getting pulled to the
left that's not P Factor does anybody
know which of the four left turn
tendencies that is I'm on the ground I'm
on Center Line I apply full power and I
have a lazy right foot and I get pulled
this way which of the four left turning
Tendencies is that it's not P Factor
I'll tell you that P Factor happens the
moment that nose leaves the ground and
I'm actually in a climb that's when P
Factor actually really starts to happen
hey Hunter hey John good to see you so
let's go over these real quick here
there are four
left turning tendencies
and the first is this
the first is what I just explained it's
torque
for every action there's an equal and
opposite reaction let me explain this to
you
when you are on the ground
you were cleared to take off you line up
on the runway you give it full power and
all of a sudden you get pulled to the
left that's my left I realize that's
your right but you get pulled to the
left
that is in a big part It's a combination
of a few of them but in a big part
that's the torque effect what's actually
happening is as that propeller turns you
are this is going to sound so simple but
it is that simple
you are simply applying more weight to
the left wheel once that propeller
starts to turn for every action there's
an equal and opposite reaction it
applies more weight to that left wheel
and it literally because that extra
weight it causes the airplane to Pivot
slightly in addition to it's the same
reason I wish I had a top you ever spin
a top and the top unless you spin it
just right never just lands and stays on
the table it usually goes in the
directions rotating for a second until
it stabilizes
you going from takeoff is no different
than that that's the torque effect
that's the torque effect this is why you
need a stronger right foot I can always
tell if you're a pilot your your right
quad is stronger than your left quad
right that's how you know you're a pilot
you have to go to the gym and just do
left legged squats especially if you're
a multi-engine pilot you really know
what I'm talking about well then both
legs get worked out evenly as a
multi-engine pilot all right the next
one
is p Factor the actual and you don't
need to know this unless you just want
to geek out and impress your friends
at Aviation trivia
texture I don't know I don't know how
you would use this as a pickup line I
don't know
P factor or propeller factor is actually
actually called
asymmetrical propeller loading
asymmetrical propeller loading again I
told you it's a great pickup line
asymmetrical propeller loading what does
this actually say well remember my
propeller is nothing more than an
airfoil my propeller is nothing more
than an airfoil
just this is an airfoil right just
twisted and converted 90 degrees
so when I'm on a level plane it's no big
deal because they're creating an equal
amount of angle of attack an equal bite
of that air
however the moment I give it some angle
of attack here in a climb again I'm
exaggerating I hope you don't really
climb out like this aggressively
my ascending and descending blades are
creating in relation to the relative
wind are creating different angle of
attacks
a greater angle of attack a greater
efficiency a greater pull and as you can
see this ends up pulling us to the left
because the greater angle of attack I'll
have an animation here in just a second
uh to show you that
next
is gyroscopic procession
gyroscopic procession a spinning disc
has rigidity in space what does that
mean
go get one of your kids or maybe you
have one a top
and spin that top if you if that top is
spinning it's a good top and you just
barely tap it I'm not talking hit it so
much it tumbles you just barely tap it
what does that top do it'll wobble for a
second and then it will do what it will
stabilize
that's rigidity in space and your
gyroscopic procession now when you tap
that top
notice that if the top is spinning
this way and I tap the top here it
doesn't wobble front to back it wobbles
left to right even though I tapped it
down here you would think it would
wobble like this it actually wobbles
like this why is that because the force
applied in a spinning environment in a
spinning gyroscope is felt 90 degrees
ahead of the turn
so that same factor back to P factor
that angle of attack of the ascending
and descending blade isn't actually felt
until right here
the greater angle of attack is created
up here it's not felt until it's right
here
thus we get pulled to the left
now the easiest one to understand is
slipstream sometimes called spiraling
slipstream spiraling slip stream is your
last one and this is the corkscrew
effect that impacts the tail section
what actually happens is from our
propeller you literally create this
ribbon of air around your airplane that
comes back hits the vertical stabilizer
and boom
turns you to the left it's really that
simple let me show you a great animation
uh that the animation team here at m0a
made and again this is all inside of the
online ground school if you ever want to
check it out we always try our best to
break things down into plain English for
you so if we could look real quick and
if we could take down the chat thanks
Magda you can see in level flight we
create an evil and even or an equal
angle of attack but if I were to take
the same calendar from the side profile
and I add an a climb to it like this you
can see we now create different angles
of attack based on the relative wind and
where the relative wind is actually
coming from this goes ahead and gives a
greater angle of attack as you can see
to that right side which works to pull
you around it's like in a in a in a
multi-engine airplane now that ribbon
effect by the way that that slip stream
as you can see creates that ribbon all
the way around the airplane hits our
tail and boom
it just causes us to yaw right just that
simple as you can see spiral slipstreams
one of the easier ones to actually
understand all right does that make
sense a little bit do I need to go over
and again holler at me uh if you need me
to I am happy uh uh to help
um in in anything again we're going to
reveal the winner of that personalized
mock check ride with me uh at the very
very end I promise we are almost done
here
um
it's it's a challenging thing to
understand I hope the animations help
um and everything else and I realized
some of you are working on instrument
you're like man I just I used to know
all this stuff you're going to learn it
all again for commercial if you aspire
to go on to commercial as well and let
me tell you something these are just
good real world things to understand
when is p Factor an issue when is torque
an issue when a spiraling and just
understanding your airplane you realize
I am never in the business of you just
passing a written test
or just passing a check ride I am in the
business of John De La Cruz
flying for the airline of his dream with
300 pain passengers behind him like
that's what we're in the business of or
you and your spouse or you and your son
or daughter or best friend
flying somewhere like like we're in that
business you're going to pass your
written test username Missouri you're
going to pass your check ride using them
as well I have no doubt in my mind
but you're a good pilot who's always
learning and that's why I want you to
continue to always go above and beyond
if you need me to come back to that I
will let's keep moving forward here
because I wanna I wanna stop at the top
of the hour
um here's our next question
what is rain
and it's not the thing that's Fallen
outside right now of the of the MS Ray
Studio
I spelled that right what is rame
you can tell me what it is and what it
does
and I'd prefer you told me what the
acronym stands for too
and if you think you don't need to know
this instrument Pilots I will tell you
you need to know this in fact my
instrument Pilots I hope you check the
rain
right before you go up for your check
ride and even show your your evaluator
how you do it
good job Tyler
John Del Cruz think it through it's
right there on the tip of your tongue
Aaron on YouTube that's good Jonathan
Vargas thank you for your humility
Dominic thank you for your humility
Pamela it sure does have to do with that
you're exactly right Jonathan Haynes
that's good do you know what it stands
for
um
let's see
uh Lane your check ride ready
Valerie beautiful
Hunter one more letter one more letter
you got it look to the comments to help
let's see I'm gonna grab a sip of tea
let's y'all type give me a question mark
if you have no idea I'm telling you
we're here to teach we're here to learn
foreign
let me ask the question another way
what if
you got an old if you there's a lot of
question marks here
if you got if you're flying all around
and all of a sudden you get a message on
your GPS or on your PFD as a cast
message I it could come up anywhere
low rain or no rain would you know what
to do
or would you go what on Earth is right
you see this is the real world stuff
and I'm sorry to keep harping on this
but this is so much more I hope you
realize this than just a mock check
right here tonight
this is like when no rain or low rain
pops up on your GPS and you go I know
what rain is now Jason taught me about
that now you know what to do now you
know what things in your aircraft you
cannot rely on because of low or no rain
Benji said will this be on my private
part check ride
40 chance at 35 percent chance anybody
ever have this question on a private
pilot check right why don't you ask it
that way there's between YouTube and
Facebook there's about 500 people here
we'll know that one
um what um was this on your private
check right it's for sure on your
instrument pilot check right
uh that much I do know here's your
answer
rame stands for this Ram stands for
receiver autonomous Integrity monitoring
thank you FAA now what does that mean
it was developed to assess the Integrity
of the GPS signals in the GPS receiver
system you ready for it in plain English
if you get an alert that says low rain
or no rain
your aircraft is not a hundred percent
sure or sorry your GPS is not a hundred
percent sure where you are
if you get a low Ram or a no rain it's a
polite way of saying I'm showing you
something on the screen
but it may not be where we really are
right now it's kind of like when you're
on Apple Maps or Google Maps and you
don't have a lot of cell service and the
map is really lagging or it shows you on
a road or going a direction you're not
that's like a low ring type issue now
when you're shooting a GPS approach this
is a big deal because well you can't do
it anymore you have to have rain so if
that is and even if you're just
navigating private Pilots you know
direct enter enter follow the magenta
line not my favorite type of navigation
but I realize we all do it I hope you're
using other forms of navigation as well
but if that's your only form of
navigation if you only know if you're so
spoiled to put it bluntly that you only
know how to go direct enter n or follow
the magenta line and you get a low rain
warning
you're going to be in for an odd
surprise when you go huh I got to use a
VOR now
how do I use that VOR thing again I know
I can hear the morse code right these
are skills and I know we're
decommissioning vors but we're working
towards a what's called a mon a minimum
operated Network that's another IFR
check ride question if you don't know
what a mon minimum operating network is
or decommissioned vors just to get to a
minimum network vors will still exist
one day we'll replace them with
something else when when GPS is the
backup and there's something even cooler
I I don't know what that will be
um honestly maybe adsb will advance to
that point I don't know
vors are going to be around though
because we have to have a backup
especially with all this technology
there's GPS jamming technology there's
it seems like everybody and their
brother can launch a satellite now m0a
is going to have a satellite division
here soon I feel like it's just and AI
is going to make it like that's that's
where this world is going it seems like
um my point is
you now know if you see low rain or no
rain
don't trust that GPS and you cannot
legally use that GPS in the IFR
environment and did you know instrument
Pilots that before you embark on your
instrument flying you need to know where
to check for rain check for those
satellite signals as well
and please I know I sound like sound
like a a father figure now don't lose
your VOR skills
keep that old school navigation skills
just sharp it is so vital it's so
important to have a backup plan right so
important to have a backup plan
um Ahmad asks I find this in my poh no
you find this on your GPS you literally
will go to the GPS it depends if you're
flying Garmin avidyne even G1000 g3000
nxi all those things
ask your instructor to show you where
you would find it is in your GPS
supplement
um is where you would find how to show
it because rain changes as you're
continuously flying
um so just keep that in mind as well now
um there are times where there's going
to be nodems published I've flown
through some of them
um where they'll publish hey especially
on a military basis are the United
States has GPS jamming technology and we
test it and when they test in an area
let me tell you it works I've been
flying through some remote parts of the
country where there was a nodem for no
GPS during these hours and sure enough
they were right and the technology
worked and I was amazed at the airline
pilots calling up going
what do you mean I have to use a VOR any
remember how to use a VOR keep those
skills sharp all right
let's do uh let's do one I think I got
time for one more here Let's do let's do
one more
um
scuba diving you ready for this one
what precautions should be taken if
you've been scuba diving
Valerie you and Eric I know you know
this one
what precaution should be taken if
you've been scuba diving now
funny story
this came up on my Private Pilot check
ride and I'll never forget the examiner
asked me this this question so let's say
you went scuba diving uh What uh what do
you need to do in relation to scuba
diving and flying
I can't make this up I look The Examiner
straight in the eyes I said
I don't scuba dive he goes no no you
went scuba diving I said no no I I've
never been scuba diving I'm not scuba
certified I have no desire to go scuba
I'm not I don't need to know this I've
never been scuba diving this is 18 year
old no this is even younger this is 17
year old Jason answering this I don't
scuba dive
and then he got me he said
well you're taking up a friend who's a
passenger and they scuba dive tell me
the scuba diving regulations I said
you got me there because I could have a
friend of scuba Dives so you cannot
answer the question oh no sir no ma'am
I'm not a scuba diver don't need I I
literally I remember studying using it
probably was the 1994 Forum I don't know
what it was and reading going scuba
diving don't need to know that I
literally told myself I don't scuba dive
I was I wasn't being like sarcastic with
them or trying to be funny I genuinely
told him
because I don't do it well they that's
that's not a not a good answer
question is
what precaution should be taken if
you've been scuba diving and by the way
this will come up on your check ride
Valerie I knew you would know the answer
that's good
firewood John do you know the um
there's a difference if it takes uh if
it takes a controlled Ascent or not as
well uh do you know the difference
um
now you and a good way to answer this is
um answer it with the regulations about
scuba diving and then say but my
personal minimums are this I know the
far aim says this
but I say this I know it says this many
hours but I like to go two days instead
or or whatever that is by the way can we
share that comment uh tisoto 247 said
this was on all of my check rides so far
I'm telling you private
could be an instrument well it's fair
game don't forget your Private Pilot
knowledge can be fair game on an
instrument palette check right as well
so don't forget that as well all right
so here we go scuba diving you can find
about it in the aim you're gonna look in
the aim 8-1-2 if you want to look this
up highlight it tab it dog ear it if you
know what a dog ear is
wait 12 hours if a non-controlled Ascent
was not required and again
I'm not a scuba diver so maybe someone
else could explain what a non-controlled
Ascent is I've been scuba diving once in
my life I was attacked by a sea urchin
if there's blood this the sea urchin
they have barbs and they were in my leg
for months I can't make this up and I I
retired from scuba diving after that
literally I was attacked by I can't oh
it's a story for another day so I don't
scuba dive so someone's have to explain
to everybody what a non-controlled
Ascent is now the second part to that is
if
a controlled Ascent was required 24
hours or more and here's a good rule of
thumb if you uh if you get in a jam if
this comes up on your on your on your
check ride listen
I just say 24 hours after any scuba
diving that's just a general rule if you
want to say 12 non-controlled Ascent 24
control descent if you can remember that
great but a pretty good rule of thumb
and Richard Clifton Clark said basically
you come up faster than your bubbles
there you go
that could be the answer I believe
um anyway yeah it's you don't get the
bends right you come up slowly and you
stop for a bit and you relax I I got
attacked by sea urchin I came right up
and did not follow all that that rule I
didn't go flying though so it was fine
um
24 hours is a pretty safe bet
um with everything again just explaining
I don't go scuba diving is not is not an
acceptable answer so make sure you know
that hey Italian Mark good to see you a
little bit late we already finished all
the questions mark but I know you know
all the answers anyways so let's show
the slide one more time it comes from
Aim 8-1-2
um grab a screenshot of it you're going
to need to know and again this is the
this is the fun albeit nerdy details uh
we love to get into now
Dave G brought up a great Point too
the AIM
in its nature is not regulatory
61 91 135 107 right these are all
regulatory in nature the AIM
is just really really nice suggestions
now they can quote regulations
but it is not regulatory in its nature
for example
in the aim it says uh everybody should
make a 45 entry to the downwind and then
fly an appropriate base and Final
if everybody in in the world did that
the world would be a better place but
let me ask a question
does everybody you've come across in
aviation always make the perfect 45
degree entry at traffic pattern altitude
to the downwind and make every radio
call exactly like the aim says
the answer is absolutely not just the
other day someone entered on a right
base and they ship on a left base
someone was making a a like a spiraling
down approach and cut me off in the
pattern it it doesn't always it doesn't
always work out that way if the world
followed the aim it'd be a safer place
but because it's not regulatory
people will land on the departure leg
sometimes if they if they could I feel
like so
let me ask you a question here
how'd you do
like a hundred percent ninety percent
60 who needs a little bit of work who
needs a little bit of love here as well
on some of these questions listen that
is what we're here to do if you find
yourself typing in more question marks
um than you should have
this is a good Pilot's always learning
and again
check out the grounds if you love this
teaching style I would encourage you
m0atrial.com to check out that ground
school and don't forget too who used the
check Ride books by the way pass your
private pass your instrument pass your
that's the blueprint pass your passer
instrument Pastor commercial past your
private part check ride and again I'm
not here to sell you on anything I'm
here to deliver as much value to you as
possible
um go grab these books on Audible if you
can listen to me for three hours I'm
telling you who who listened to Jason on
repeat through one of these audiobooks
you can get them on Amazon as well
wherever books are sold paperback if you
want a paperback
um I like the audiobook if you can put
up with listening to me for that long I
read the question pause and then tell
you the correct answer as well you can
go on our website to find them as well
with um with that one but now you know
now you know some areas like Jonathan
Vargas said I need some work I'm a
little bit Rusty now you know some air
areas you can listen to
Dave G said he listened to it at two and
a half speed as if I don't talk fast
enough already two and a half speed just
made it made it that much that much more
so
um super hey let's uh let's announce our
winner and I want to open it up for
questions and anything is fair game so
don't leave yet stick around this is
gonna be your chance to ask questions so
start gearing up for those questions uh
just type them in the chat I'm gonna do
my best uh to get all of them
um but again I'm not gonna be able to
get all of them so just just copy paste
it a few times and we will find that as
well let's announce we uh the contest
closed at 4 00 pm today so the team sent
me over the winner the winner is getting
a personalized private mock check ride
with myself so we'll sit down
obviously we'll do it via zoom and I'm
gonna wherever this person is at in
their training whatever Checker they
have coming up we're gonna sit down I'm
gonna ask the questions we're gonna do a
mock check ride just like this going
back and forth it's funny
I read every comment afterwards I'll go
to bed after this but in the morning
I'll read all the comments y'all are
leaving now I read all the comments on
YouTube on Facebook so keep leaving
comments uh the team and I read every
single comment and it was funny on this
week's YouTube video I saw the comments
someone's posting you know I entered to
win the contest but I really hope I
don't win because I'd be really nervous
to do a mock check out with Jason
look we should pick that person just
because right no we didn't we didn't do
that
um but anyways don't be nervous it'll be
it'll be awesome I promise but anyways
mag do we have a drum roll sound for our
mock check ride winner do we really have
a drum roll sound no we don't I think we
just have Applause we got to work on our
sound effect okay we should be like Ken
here with those with those sound effects
there so the mock check ride with Jason
winner is
Anthony how do I say that brandyard or
it could be Tony Tony brenn York
congratulations remember there's the
Applause there's the Applause we got it
congratulations my friend
um the m018 is going to reach out to you
Anthony or Tony
um and we're going to work to schedule
that and coordinate that so that works
for everybody we'll do it via Zoom or
Google meets or something like that so
it's real easy we'll record everything
for you as well uh so you have that um
for you as well so congratulations my
friend that you'll be reaching out to uh
to schedule that so let's open it up for
questions comments concerns you got a
check ride coming up you need a little
pep talk I am here for you all stick
around for the next few minutes let's
answer some questions
um there as well and uh and let's go
ahead and uh let's answer some questions
Cameron Private Pilot check ride in two
weeks Cameron let me give you because
this is not just for Cameron there's
other people check rides coming up in
the coming weeks Cameron you got two
weeks to your check ride I want you
really really studying I want you I want
you diving into this every night I want
30 45 minutes in the ground school
studying listening to the books two
weeks out my friend I'd like you to get
three four call it maybe even five
flights in if you can get that many
flights in and get some flights in with
a different instructor do a full mock
check ride mock oral exam mock flight
with a different human because it's the
weirdest part about a check ride is
sometimes just doing it with a different
human different weight different ways of
asking questions and you're just nervous
flying with somebody different it's like
it is your first passenger
so I want you leading up to that now the
night before your check writer the day
before your check ride Cameron and
everybody with a check right I don't
want you even thinking about airplanes
if an airplane flies over I don't want
you to even look at it I don't want you
studying I don't want you watching
Emissary videos I don't want you flying
I need you 24 hours from the check ride
resting from All Things Aviation I want
you to eat healthy I want you to get the
the most amount of sleep you can get be
well rested
um
and again that way you can show up to
the check right early prepared
everything else
um but but that will help a ton
um with um with uh that uh Racine asks
how's our program different than King so
I will never ever ever uh speak poorly
of a competitor I actually like many
many of the people over there at uh at
King are very very kind people
um and again if you are a visual learner
and you love that Community aspect one
thing you'll realize that this is such a
community you're going to see the same
names pop up this is not just here's
some courses and good luck there is
mentorship if you become a gold member
Uh Russian you're interacting with me
every single Tuesday we're doing a
webinar like this much smaller group and
we interact every week hey how's that
medical coming along hey how's that
check ride prep why haven't you gotten
the written test done and I'm teaching
on a topic and we're doing Q a together
as well in addition to all the videos
written test prep check ride prep
everything else again and I will let our
ground swimming speak to it I don't want
to speak I I greatly greatly respect the
Kings and what they have uh and what
they have built Anna great to see you
suggestions for the remote pod exam Anna
I know you've already gone through a
remote Pilot Course so I know you're
more than prepared for that
remember Anna
um about 60 percent of that written test
is based on part 107 regulations so if
anything go back to the remote Pilot 101
course and just focus on I know the
regulations lessons big it's like 17
videos just watch that one more time for
me or in the course Anna use the
aviation Mastery method by subject and
just pull the regulation questions
that's going to make them a big chunk of
your test all right Texas Aviation
images said Jason major question well if
it's major I got to answer it Magda
how many times do you recommend flying
per week non-airplane owner renting
planes these days is pretty pricey it is
let me tell you something we've got the
data to back it up
that the more frequently you fly
I know it's more money out of your
pocket in a smaller time frame however
over time your Private Pilot certificate
is less expensive at the Finish Line
than somebody who stretched it out
in a perfect world I'd love you flying
twice a week at a minimum get on the
schedule twice a week on a minimum
because we all know weather delays
maintenance delays family issues work
issues you're going to end up canceling
one of those flights on occasion that
way you still at least have something on
the calendar if you're only booking once
per week and a maintenance issue comes
up and now it's two weeks till you fly
again and you spend the first 20 minutes
of your flight oh yeah relearning slow
flight oh yeah I remember how to do that
oh yeah I forgot about clearing turns oh
I forgot that radio call
the airplane is a terrible classroom
it's fast it's noisy and it's expensive
there's no pause button
this is why in addition to Flying twice
a week I need you all in some in a
ground School
study and then those in between if
you're flying twice a week I want you in
the ground school three four preferably
five times
20 minutes a night something small uh
like uh like that as well
all right let's take some other
questions uh here Magda John De La Cruz
flight instructor airplane test is done
how do you stay motivated do the foi
test
I get it man
um you know one thing when we made our
foi course John and I know you know we
have the foi course for you to check out
and it's easy I know Hunter did our foi
course as well
um
I I took what the FAA instructed to
teach for foi and added to it like we do
everything I I jokingly say we teach our
foi how the FAA should have taught it
it's funny because they teach you about
the domains of learning the levels of
learning and tell you oh teach you about
rote memorization how to not use root
memorization but everybody goes and uses
Road memorization to pass the foi let me
tell you the foi test has changed a lot
lately so you need to make sure that
that's a tricky one and John I would
just encourage you to not look at it as
uh this test I got to get through look
at it as
there's some gold nuggets in here
there's some wisdom in here that I can
use to bless somebody else to become a
better teacher because oddly enough
from now teaching foi and foi is
fundamentals of instructing for those
who don't know it's basically teaching
you how to be a teacher rfoi course is
is all about the psychology of dealing
with another human is what it
essentially is and the science of
learning and John one thing you know
about us we geek out the science of
learning so I would I would encourage
you to check that out
Patrick says the only way to access the
Ground School through a monthly
subscription
um
no we do also offer a lifetime
membership we do not publicly advertise
a lifetime membership you would have to
reach out to us to get the current
pricing on that and you can do that if
you go to support
uh instead of email do you have that bag
the support there you go support
m0a.com that will get you access to all
the courses except remote pilot uh also
the boot camps we do a Private Pilot an
instrument pilot written test prep boot
camp
um as well you could also just buy the
boot camp but it's just 12 videos for
the written test prep
um with that one but again Mo here's how
you budget for it
I know it's a subscription-based model
but most people spend three months with
us to knock out Private Pilot so you say
Okay 159 for gold membership times three
and price it out that way so you keep
that in your mind you can pause start
stop whenever you want uh like that as
well so all right Victoria question
starting back up after a one-year break
starting and pre-solo and check ride for
me in the next three to six weeks how
best to get get the rust uh get off the
rust I'm simply and studying a lot
Sim flying and studying a lot is going
to help one year is not bad but it
sounds like you're still pre-solo
so did we have a strong Foundation
already if you told me hey I'm already a
Private Pilot with 300 hours I took a
year off I would say it's a piece of
cake pre-solo though Victoria it's going
to take a little bit of effort keep
studying keep immersed in aviation keep
on the Sims and when you do get back to
it make sure whatever caused you to stop
Victoria I'm not being nosy here you
don't have to share
whatever caused you to stop for a year
make sure that's solved was that your
work schedule is crazy was the budget
tight you don't need to tell me it's it
doesn't matter whatever it was that
caused that one year break make sure
it's fixed
we don't want history to repeat itself
so once that's fixed dive in flying
twice a week would be amazing Ruth said
should I be reviewing the more the
morning of the check ride
this is not College anymore this that
again I love the science of learning
cramming does not work cramming may help
you remember
factor to but it does not go into the
long-term memory
so while it may help you remember a
tomato Flames that's the only fact you
remember you don't remember how to apply
it or what it means you just remember
the rote memorization of a tomato Flames
I'm telling you Ruth
um
the type of learning that we're doing
which is deep learning and I've studied
this so much uh Dave G and John De La
Cruz and and Hunter and all these people
who've been members or or fans of m0a
part of the Amazon family for a long
time know I went on a binge for like two
three years where I just geeked out on
on how we learn best and I'm telling you
Ruth there's clinical trials there's
proven science that says rest between
learning and rest between things like
motor skills too is is a form of
learning and you need rest for those
things to set into your long-term memory
so rest is a form of study rest is a
form of learning it's no different
if you are trying to get strong at the
gym don't go seven days a week right you
will burn out and your muscles will
never never get a chance to repair and
grow they recommend you go to the gym
three times a week and you rest to allow
your muscles to grow to be fed with food
and nutrients and everything else you
don't work out every single day all you
do is burn yourself out and you'll you
know that's not good brain's the same
way Old Line Aviation says the oral for
sport pilot even though it's pts similar
to the private ACS
yes it's similar we have a lot of sport
Pilots that have gone through our
courses and used our books you've just
got to remember there's a few little
regulatory differences
but think about this way airspace
doesn't change
weather doesn't change flight planning
decision making aerodynamics none of
that changes regulations those change a
little bit on sport pot so that's where
you need to be willing to make that uh
that jump
um as well let's find some more
questions here uh that I promise we're
gonna we're gonna say good night because
it's getting late as as well
let's see I want to take Hunter's
question then Jennifer Gates's question
here Hunter asked what's the best way to
approach a student who is back tracking
Hunter's a newly minted CFI you saw in
the m-zero nation her post this week and
again if you're not in the m08 nation on
Facebook you need to be go search m0a
Nation you want like positive uplifting
amazing content your Facebook feed and
to be a safer smarter pilot go join the
Missouri Nation Hunter just posted she
had her first student pass this check
ride golf club we gave you a shout out
on the webinar Hunter but you weren't
you weren't there this week so anyways
what's the best way to approach a
student who is backtracking a solo
student who is not doing great at
Landings anymore uh he lost the ability
to we'll say transition right and land
so flat okay Hunter you ready
so first off
all next month is all about Landings and
flight Maneuvers so make sure you're set
I know you're already sending them the
YouTube videos and stuff
um a few things Hunter
have you done slow flight down the
runway with them and this is going to
sound so so cheesy
but what I used to do with and to give
some background because everybody knows
where we came from I've been an
instructor for a long long time
um
when I was very young I was 18 years old
I looked so young that nobody wanted to
fly with me they said there's no way
that kids even old enough to drive let
alone fly no one wanted to fly with me
so all I could get CFI wise for students
was the students that nobody else wanted
like the 60-hour solos the ones that
blew tires on Landing like I'm like I'll
take them it's I got bills to pay too
it's it's okay
so I built this reputation of working
with people
who couldn't land an airplane
and two big factors did it for me Hunter
slow flight down the runway I want you
you might need to practice it yourself
first Hunter and then do it with your
learner and teach them feel the rudder
pedals feel how ineffective the Yoke
really is take your eyes down that
Runway
here's the second thing and you're going
to look like a weirdo but you won't look
like a weirdo after they nail their
Landings
I used to go out to the airport on the
ramp and I would take chalk you could do
this with a crack in the concrete on the
ramp or or a a tie-down marker and I
would draw a Runway but you can use a
tie-down marker and we would stand
shoulder to shoulder and I'd say Okay
um
let's walk through it and you know where
I got this idea was from the Blue Angels
when I was a young kid I always watched
the Blue Angels prepare for their
routines and they would prepare on the
ramp and they would walk around the ramp
exactly how their air show is going to
go the exact you know near missed passes
and everything else the the lead would
speak the exact same calls he or she was
going to speak and I said
that's good that's like chair flying but
a level up a notch
so I took my Learners my students I said
make your radio call just like we would
okay uh tutor Mike Zulu Willison traffic
2D Mike Zulu's departing Runway 2-3
Williston okay what are you doing now
all right uh I'm going
um full power my my heels are hitting
the floor my toes are going to bomb my
pedals I feel myself pulling a little
bit left so I'm giving a little bit of
right Rudder I'm watching my AirSpeed
air speeds alive cross check engine
instrument screen Roll and Roll and
rolling here's 60 I rotate I just kind
of barely pull it back and and as we're
saying this we're slowly walking forward
down that tie down stripe or whatever it
is okay we get to 700 feet it's time to
turn crosswind and we literally turn
Wilson traffic Skyhawk to do Mike Zulu's
turn left cross and Runway two three
Williston it sounds you're going to look
ridiculous there's no doubt about it you
your other instructors are going to
think you're totally losing it
but they're not gonna think you're crazy
when they realize you took that student
who couldn't land an airplane and by you
visualizing this with them and
everything Hunter I'm now bringing my
throttle back my eyes are now looking at
that Runway I'm a little bit high so
what do you do when you're a little bit
high oh I know is it down no no no don't
nose it down if you notice it down right
now you're gonna pick up speed if I'm
high bring back power oh that's right
bring back power and talk them through
that let them speak their mistakes out
loud when you can hear their thought
process
like when someone says oh I'm high I'm a
nose It Forward no no no you're all
you're going to do is bump up 15 knots
and now you got a problem
bring the power back leave the pitch
where it's at your pitch is fine bring
the power back I'm telling you it sounds
a little ridiculous but it will help you
a ton okay sorry I ramble so long that's
a topic I'm very passionate about I said
I was gonna get Jennifer Gates's
question did we lose that one to get
buried Magnus got it somewhere but she's
got another One queued up for now Magno
said well the DPE asked me to do all the
training Maneuvers no
they're going to pick a handful they're
going to pick like one ground reference
maneuver they're going to pick probably
steep turn slow flight stalls they're
they're given all the Maneuvers they
have to pick so many from so many
sections
um they're not gonna you're not gonna do
every single maneuver you've ever done
in your life they're just going to pick
a few so you gotta be ready for that
okay there's Jennifer Gates
added basic Men last month and my third
class medical is due at the end of July
2023. should I still attempt to get the
third class okay Jennifer remember
first off congratulations on basic Matt
but you need to remember
it's great you have basic Med but if you
were to be denied your third class
that is still going to affect your basic
math it's still a denial and it is it is
not good right so that being said if you
are questioning your ability to pass a
third class
uh I I don't know how you want to dance
that dance what I recommend for anybody
that believes they have a medical issue
I want you to do this
your AME has to be a doctor of some sort
a do or a doc can I be a do I be a
doctor of some sort
um
do this and call them up and say listen
uh my name is Jason I may or you know I
I want to come in I'd like to get a
third class Medical but I'd like to do
like a mock Medical but I'll I will pay
you for it I'm not doing my real third
class I want to do a practice third
class and will you just tell me at the
very end would you have passed me right
go through it check your blood pressure
check your vision check all answer all
the questions and if they say Jennifer
no I if this was your real Third Class
Medical I would not have passed you
today and here's why and here's what you
can do
does that make sense and then if they
say yeah Jennifer I would have passed
you today you better book an appointment
tomorrow and go back and do the same
thing again I know it's going to cost a
little more money
but if you are questioning your ability
to get a third class medical a mock
medical is a great way to do it pay them
for their time I'm just paying for a
health evaluation my annual physical
call it whatever you want to call it
okay
um Jonathan Haynes how would you ask
Tower to do slow flight over the runway
and how high would you do it Jonathan
Haynes you need to be
millimeters from the runway don't touch
the runway I want you to be when you can
fly it inches above the runway you will
nail your Landings every time when you
know what that sight picture looks like
you'll nail it every time and as far as
the tower goes tell them you're doing a
low a low pass that's all you got to do
do it doing a low pass
it's just that simple and they'll Grant
it every time there's plenty of videos
of myself doing slow flight down the
runway I think the video is called
I don't know what it's called just
search slow flight down the runway and
you will find it I'm telling you
um all right
other questions
um other comments Lane oh to Hunter make
them wear a fanny pack guaranteed to
improve their Landings
well the I'm sorry fanny pack all right
last call questions comments I like Dave
G's comments said find the longest
runway you can to practice slow flight
down the runway too it's a great advice
that way you can just actually feel what
that feels like a little bit longer so
um
Let's uh let's see here last call
questions comments concerns uh anything
um Michael Carlson go into my medical
tomorrow what should I be ready for my
friend
you just need to be ready to be relaxed
no White Coat Syndrome just just deep
breaths your blood pressure is perfect
your vision is perfect life is good you
don't need to sweat it my friend don't
be nervous
um about it without be honest
um and uh you don't need to study that's
the one benefit of a medical bad joke
all right um Tyler said what are snack
recommendations for a check ride this is
a question I am more than qualified to
answer
if you want to be guaranteed to pass
your check ride bring a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich no that's I'm just
kidding I I have Pete Pete sends me
peanut butter and this is true it's in
the studio peanut butter and jelly
squeezable like that's that's how
serious this is and by the way
if you don't use creamy peanut butter we
need to talk and if you like anything
other than strawberry jelly we also need
to talk peanut butter and jelly I I
since I was a little kid and I'm still a
little kid I guess whatever seriously
though whatever works for you my friend
you know what works best for your gut
your energy the the check ride day uh is
not the day to start testing out new
snacks it's kind of like a marathon
coach Ray was my was my ultra marathon
running coach I since retired I retired
young
um
it was just a lot of work
and again one thing coach Ray taught me
that's why he got the name coach Ray by
the way one thing coach Ray taught me is
Jason whatever you're going to eat on
race day you need to be like training
with as well don't no surprises on race
day
um so that's that all right
um wow someone said extra chunky peanut
butter is the best I I don't know if
we'd be friends anymore I'm just telling
you
um Lane said don't take food advice from
someone who orders Hawaiian pizza listen
creamy peanut butter strawberry jelly
and Hawaiian pizza like I don't know
what is wrong with you guys those are
all amazing things right if you ever if
you ever invite us to Magnolia or for
dinner Hawaiian pizza is a winner and
peanut butter and jelly if it's
lunchtime okay
um
all right Lauren said I don't want to
get my commercial what's another rating
a certificate you would recommend
Lawrence have you considered not not a
rating or a certificate have you
considered an endorsement like tail
wheel complex high performance and if
you want to go the rating or certificate
route seaplane is a blast
I'm working with uh with a gentleman now
to do some glider stuff is just there's
so many cool opportunities so get into
some aerobatics whatever that may be
there's there's a lot of cool things but
I'm telling you
seaplane's a cool one and seaplane is
like you can do it over a weekend like a
Friday Saturday take your check on a
Sunday really easy now it's hard to keep
your uh it's hard to keep your seaplane
current because it's hard to find
somebody to rent you a seaplane but it's
it's uh it's just something tail dragger
will make you a real pilot I'm telling
you I've I have a 1940 j3 cub
it will humble you it has heel breaks
can you process that you're so used to
toe breaks it has heel breaks like I had
to I had to go to like the stretch Zone
to get a more flexible calf to my
couches didn't work that way to hit the
heel break like it it took a reap like I
had to reprogram my brain just to uh fly
that as well
um wow Kevin great question
what's important when choosing a flight
school first off and again this is not a
promotion if you have not read the
Private Pilot blueprint I highly highly
encourage you it's 6.95 it's so easy to
pick it up privatepilot blueprint.com
grab yours on Amazon hey this is now
available as an audiobook too if you
didn't know that if you'd like to listen
to it I should be over here sorry Magda
Private Pilot I keep drifting that way
privatepilot blueprint.com everything I
wish someone told me before I started my
flight train how to save time money the
entire process
um how to choose a flight school a
flight instructor which airplane High
Wing low Wing testing and pipe or all
that kind of stuff my friend
um
what you need to realize to give you a
summary of it
whether you learn to fly in a Cessna 150
or an sr-20
your certificate is still going to have
Orville and Wilbur and look just like
any other Private Pilot certificate now
your wallet may look a little bit
different based on the aircraft you
choose to fly as well so do keep that in
mind uh as well
um with that and then yes availability
are you going to a person and an
airplane nothing wrong with that but if
that airplane goes down for annual by
the way two three Migos still down for
annual I put it down for annual the week
before Sun and Fun it has now been two
months down for annual parts and
shortages and all this stuff so
sometimes that happens
um as well with uh with that anyways
privatepilot blueprint.com
um uh veto asked do I plan on becoming a
DPE in the future you know I went
through DPE school and almost went
through it but back this is in the olden
days veto
um back in the olden days they wanted
dpe's doing a minimum of two check rides
a day and this this was I don't know 10
years ago mzera was really starting to
get some traction I said yeah we've got
some good things going on here I said I
can't be doing two check rides a day I'm
building the San Jose thing
um so I ended up politely declining that
all right last call last call for
questions Craig said don't forget you're
spending a lot of time with your CFI so
please please please interview them you
know what question I always ask myself
don't ask this to your CFI but I say
would I like hang out with this person
outside of this flying relationship like
would we go to dinner would we would we
go get a cup of coffee like would I hang
out with this person if the answer is no
they're obnoxious or no they smell bad
and that's a real thing by the way cfis
in the foi course Hunter will tell you
we taught and and some other courses we
talk about cfis you gotta you gotta have
hygiene we talk about that
um
yeah you gotta have that would you be a
friend with this person you got to think
about that and then last thing I'll add
to this then we're going to say bye last
thing I'm gonna add to this is
your CFI continuously learning think
about this way if your CFI stops
learning
you are only going to learn to just shy
of their capacity
right but if they keep learning you keep
learning along with them but if they
stop learning if they don't live out a
good Pilot's always learning that's a
problem right think about this way if
you pick up a CFI that is weak in
systems where do you think you're going
to be weak at as well probably systems
so you want a CFI who's always learned
as well so that's an interview question
what are you doing to always be learning
oh I'm I'm working on becoming a multi
engine instructor too now you want to
see them active in this as well so
anyways listen thank you so much
everybody again I hope to see you all
inside the online ground school if you
love this live interaction
you're gonna love the courses as well
check it out first before you spend any
money though m0a
trial.com so listen thank you I went
much longer than I expected but thank
you so much for staying up late with us
uh thank you for playing full out just
what a blessing you are to myself uh my
beautiful wife Magda this amazing team
here at m0a.com we're just so thankful
for all that you do go out there have an
amazing night and just choose to live
more abundantly in everything that you
do have that blessed abundant
outstanding rest your night and most
importantly remember
The Good Pilot is always learning have a
great night everybody I'll see ya
