VOR Flight Tutorial pt 3

[1216saab]

thanks!! you've helped me a great deal!

[mohdzo95]

You forgot the flaps on takeoff :)

[86Bil]

hey man i think this is the best vor tutorial the others dont go in dept thanks alot great flying ....

[AddictedFreakie]

Can you do a newer tutorial of VOR's, that would be great

[pilotdrummer95]

@AddictedFreakie Hello.

I would love to but work is really my main commitment at the moment... maybe I will get around to doing some in the near future sometime.

[shibirui11]

A great video with clear explanation, don't mind reveal the source where u got the flight simulator?

[pilotdrummer95]

@shibirui11

I got the simulator as a Christmas present ages ago!! I think it was brought from a shop which sells computer games so it was a trusty, reliable, LEGAL source ;)

[sblack91]

Thank you sir.

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Great video. Will there be a tutorial on instrument flight soon?

I am surprised that the VOR can track from the ground at :25. Whenever I fly (whether on the simulator or in real life), the OBS needle will not become active until I get a couple of hundred feet off the ground.

[pilotdrummer95]

@GeneralSirDouglasMcA

Hopefully I will be making some more tutorials in the near future which will be a lot better than these ones and go into more in depth. However, I have my exams which have to take a greater priority.

The OBS needle is probably a little sensitive in flight simulator so is not wholly realistic, but nonetheless it serves it's purpose.

[mfnordin]

Hi there. Appreciate and thumbs up for the easy to understand VOR tutorial on YouTube. Unfortunately I seems to be unable to find the Part 4 (Approach Settings).

[pilotdrummer95]

@mfnordin Thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry but I never got around to doing an approach video. Sorry. If you would like to ask me any question on the approach, feel free to PM me :)

[maynardthepilot]

@pilotdrummer95 Great videos dude, but don't forget about your flaps when you're taking off.

[pilotdrummer95]

@maynardthepilot Yh I know lol... in some case, if the runway is long enough, then the Cessna will not need flaps to takeoff. :)

[maynardthepilot]

@pilotdrummer95 true,, xD

[bmbpdk]

have just watched these three videos, and now i finally understand what VOR are and how it works, thanks alot, and keep them comming.

PS. You really needed a stronger pc, it lags pretty much :-D

[pilotdrummer95]

@bmbpdk Thanks! My PC isn't the best... but hey! You learn't something! :)

[HLMINX1]

Great effort! Shame you decided against doing part 4 though as it would have been nice to see it through to the end. It would have demonstrated how to enter the traffic pattern and line up for landing, given that you were following a course to the NDB to the west of the field. Keep up the good work :-)

[pilotdrummer95]

@HLMINX1 Thanks! I am definately doing more tutorials when I have more time. Keep watching as there will be some new ones coming through :)

[reeceybaber]

DUDE YOU SOUND LIKE DARREN BROWN

[pilotdrummer95]

@reeceybaber THANKS... I think =D

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Are you a pilot in real life, Pilotdrummer95?

[pilotdrummer95]

@GeneralSirDouglasMcA

No but thank you for the kind comments. I am only 15 years old but hopefully, I will one day be up with all the airliners up there :D

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

@pilotdrummer95 The fact that you know all about VOR navigation, etc., and are not even a pilot yet is a sign that you'll make a great pilot one day. I had already soloed before I learned about VOR navigation, and it took me a little while before I got the hang of it.

You should start doing instrument flight videos.

[pilotdrummer95]

@GeneralSirDouglasMcA Thanks you very much... for me to be a great pilot one day is the dream. I'm definately going to do more videos after Christmas so keep looking out =D

[jxyooj339]

What a very good tutorial! Make More!

[pilotdrummer95]

@jxyooj339

Thanks =) I will try to soon =)

[lowew79]

The only thing that I would have added to this tutorial is a demonstration of how a vor will send a morse code audio signal to your aircraft as a means of verifying that you REALLY are flying towards what you think you are...

[lowew79]

ohhh you started your take off roll on the apron... 50 dkp minus.. ;-D

[tucksy]

Great VOR tutorials nut...where's part 4?

[pilotdrummer95]

@tucksy

I didn't really have time to do one! It was only going to be a landing but I'm gonna be making some new tutorials in the near future in the holidays so there will be landings a-plenty =D

Thanks

pd95 =)

[ejdomingos]

thanks a lot... it really helped... so, how does it work for the landing? if i carry on, will I land on the runway?

[pilotdrummer95]

@ejdomingos

No problem! =D If you want to land set a frequency for the VOR at the airport. Then you may fly there and land if you wish. Or you can ask ATC for vectors for the visual.

I forgot the landing on this one but I'm preparing a few things for my new tutorials. Subscribe and you'll have the best tutorials ever =D

Thanks a lot

pd95 :)

[keoshe7]

nice tutorial i love it i had some cool landing's thanks man and i hope u make more

[pilotdrummer95]

@keoshe7

Yes mate! Thanks a lot for the kind words. If you subscribe you'll be getting the latest in a new line of top tutorials. Much better than these old ones. We'll be starting with a virtual Private Pilot Course so check it out!!

Regards and good luck

pd95 :D

[sardanaphalus]

"The perfect takeoff" -- though you say so yourself ;-) What realism settings are you using? Just curious.

[pilotdrummer95]

@sardanaphalus

Yes lol... a bit of sarcasm though ;D

For this flight I think I had everything maxed out but since then I have got more addons so have had to change some settings.

Thanks for the comment

pd95 :)

[bestbets1]

Does your FSX ever freeze up? Mine does :) but i plan to try again. Nice work on the video. just 1 question, is the current course that one may be flying be the same as heading (Heading 140=course 140 maybe?)?

[pilotdrummer95]

Yes thats correct :D However in some operations the course is opposite to the heading of flight. So if the heading of flight = 140

the course = 320

Thanks for your kind comment and hope this helps

pd95 :D

[bestbets1]

thnaks

[smuge123]

hi again pd95 just wanted to know when you start fsx and chose flightplan and chose vor to vor do you start the flight with IFR or VFR? many thanks simon.

[pilotdrummer95]

@smuge123

Yes that's right! Choose VOR-to-VOR but then you can select either IFR or VFR settings depending on your weather conditions.

Thanks

pd95 :)

[smuge123]

very good dude thanks for your time and effort in doing this .

[pilotdrummer95]

@smuge123

Welcome! Glad it could help you :D

[jaikohan]

i got !! u explain very clear!!!. Now, how do i use the ILS. I was waiting for your tutorial number 4. Can u explain me from the last VOR that i passed , the ILS and landing. I likie a lot this game so i wanna use it good.

Thanks again!!

[pilotdrummer95]

@jaikohan

The ILS is a very complex navigation tool to learn.

To put simply, you need to tune the ILS FREQUENCY OF THE RUNWAY you want to land at. If you're in the cessna 152 then lets say the radio NAV1.

Then on the OBS select the course heading you want to fly to the runway. If the runway was 33 the the course may be 332.

It may take a few moments to activate, but then you will be set so follow the bars. More videos will be out soon but in the meantime check other ones to be safe.

[jaikohan]

Hi, i saw your tutorial and is perfect and very helpfull, thank u very much!!

By the way , i have a problem with the ADF indicator that doesnt move and i checked and i have the right frequency. Please let me know what is wrong.

Thank u very much and i wait for your answer!

[pilotdrummer95]

@jaikohan

Thanks a lot for the kind comments :D

The ADF must be on the RIGHT FREQUENCY. CHECK AND CHECK AGAIN!!!!

You also may be too far out the range of the ADF so as a guide, be within 20-50nm of the ADF.

The needle may have moved, but very slightly, you may not have noticed it!

Thanks a lot and hope this helps.

Regards

pd95 :D

[jaikohan]

Hi, this tutorial is perfect i got everything very clear, thank u very much. But i have a problem with the ADF. the indicator doesnt change and i checked that is the right frequency.

Please help me with that!!

[gulligplutt81]

Finally someone who managed to teach me how VOR navigation works! Great tutorial, thanks.

- Norway

[pilotdrummer95]

@gulligplutt81

You're very welcome and I'm glad things have worked out for you. It can be tricky but practice makes perfect.

[anakin78150]

hello, nice tutotrail, where is the part 4, please?

thanks

[pizzlepot]

Good tutorial, but dude, next time, script it! It was painful waiting for you to try and get the correct thing out! But other than that thanks for your help!

[pilotdrummer95]

Sorry about that! :S When I do these I have a 100% idea of what I'm going to say but then I fluff up my words and stutter a bit. If I am half-waythrough the video then I really cannot be bothered to change it all.

Thanks a lot though :)

pd95:)

[fsC130J]

great job on the tutorial :-)

[pilotdrummer95]

Thanks for watching and it was also a chance for you to see me fly. I'm hopefully gonna get around to do a vid on the approach at cardiff so hopfully that'll go down well!

thanks pd95 :)

[marcchilton2]

My ADF indicator doesn't change, any ideas why?

[marcchilton2]

ahh nevermind, seems to be working now haha

[pilotdrummer95]

Yh it was probably because you haven't put in the frequency correctly! Oh well if its working its all good! There's sometimes a delay with these things!

[marcchilton2]

Correct me if im wrong but didn't you say you would be cruising at 6000 ft, but you seem to be at 9000ft?

Thanks again though, this is helping me tons!

[pilotdrummer95]

Hehe thanks for that it was because when I took off there was quite a bit of turbulence and cloud in my way so I climbed up to 9000ft.

However it didn't really work because there was still a lot of cloud, so jokes on me guys :D

[Georgebrhm1984]

Hi mate...finally u made it clear for me providing all those details that I needed...Thanks very much mate.....U did a wonderful job....Cheers...

[pilotdrummer95]

Kool man! There is the last part to go which is a very short part so keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks

pd95 :)
