great commented learningvideo about VOR-Points and navigate a cessna ! I always watch on the GPS to find the airfield. So i'm not a bad weatherpilot ! This video is good to learn and shows the difference between TO FOR and FROM FOR that i even try to understand. Maybe it's a good idea to make a video that shows how to land on not asphalt and whitout runwaylights airfields ? If you to so that would be interesting like this one but does runways are harder to find .
hey great tutorial thanks alot, the only thing is i would of descended on the non active side of the airport just incase other aircrafts were in the patern of runway 25, but excellent flying and helped alot!
I just finished watching all of the tutorial videos about VOR and I gotta say these are pretty awesome videos, they helped me understand what VOR was used for and how it was used, when flight simulator just confused me about what they were for. Thanks a ton!
You should know from the flight planning which headings you need to fly TO and FROM the VOR, the flight planning is in Part V (1 of 3) of this tutorial, I think I go over it a couple of times.
I did paralell to the video the same flight in FSX and I can only say it helps a lot to not just understand but to also directly remember all the procedures on the next flight :)
Takes a lot of dedication to sit in front of the screen and get good at it, LOL, just kidding man, I love flying so much, I don't care what kind of flying it is, most of these planes in MSFS have better flight dynamics than the real simulators anyway, I just wish that there was a way to log it as simulated time, I'd be an ATP 3 times over with the hours I have, LOL
I hope you mean literally because then I would expect gifts from you for the rest of my life, you can start by getting me a new faster computer, LOL, just kidding, I'm glad I could help out.
Outstanding tutorial. I am getting ready to start my instrument rating and the information you provide is very complete, yet simple to understand. Thank You Very Much
Make sure you listen to your CFII more than me, LOL,
thanks for the comment,
and get ready for the most boring part of your flight training, for the next 40 hours, you and the hood will become one, LOL,
God how I misse looking outside for those dreadful 9 months, HAHAHAH,
Hey, good luck, and listen to what your instrument are showing you, not what your but is telling you. Your equilibrium lies to you, hardest part of instrument flying :)
Nice video.. thanks it helped alot. I just have one question.. aren't we suppose to be at 1000' on downwind? i am confused because i learned we should be at 1000' downwind and on finals we are suppose to be at 600'ish.. ?????
Traffic pattern altitudes depend on the airport, the standard is 1000 feet, but there are airports with different traffic pattern altitudes.
However, KAJO has a 1000 foot pattern altitude (1533' MSL - 1000' AGL), that is what I flew.
I think you may be confusing the entry into that traffic pattern (flying over the midfield), at which point we overfly the midfield at 500 feet above the TPA, in this case 2000 feet MSL.
Bravo! Super tutorial, thanks muchly! Compare & contrast w/ Pilotdrummer95's VOR tuts (which I thought were great) and it's apparent your real-world experience comes into play; you acquire radials on-the-fly and incorporate real ATC procedures and traffic patterns. Forget fantasy flying, I want to fly like you would in real life. I did have a question. I was looking for a situation in which you would need to max out the freq tunings in radios 1 & 2. It seems like a lot of un-used capacity.
Usually in radio 2 we have the ATIS and ground tuned in, in radio 1 we have tower and departure tuned in ready to go. Once we take off and are handed off to departure we use radio 1 as the departure & approach ATC's transfer us, in the mean time in radio 2 we have the ATIS of a place like Bracket in this video tuned in. Also in radio 2 we would have the tower of the place we're going tuned in. So you can see that as soon as we need the ATIS, it's once click away, so is the tower.
@FSX404 , Thanks for your prompt reply! This is precisely what I need as far as comms, thanks. I'm a total noob as far as radio communication procedure. But how about the nav frequency tunings on the two radios? Are there situations in which you'll have frequencies tuned in for all four slots, standby and active on both radios? IFR flying with ILS, perhaps? Thanks again.
Yes, example, for KHHR IFR departure, nav 1 is LAX VOR (R170), nav 1 standby is SLI VOR. In nav 2 you tune in SLI VOR and in nav 2 standby you would have the next VOR you need fo your flight.
Always use Nav 1 as your primary VOR, and Nav 2 for triangulation.
Exmp, your tracking on VOR 1 and intercept the point on VOR 2, you don't just leave in VOR 2 and track that one at this point, as soon as you turn on VOR 2, you transfer that to VOR 1 and set up VOR 2 for the next checkpoint.
@FSX404 Super! Again, that's precisely what I was looking for. I have spent many days browsing for the best in instructional videos and yours are the best I've seen so far. Have a great Sunday!
It's the Southern California Megascenery, but I got some additional "real rain" effects program, I cant seem to find it that makes the whole windshield look like it has been prop blasted for real, that could be the difference.
i love you... you rock

mate!! this is amazing!!! I learned more watching this and the VOR tutorial than I ever did in FSX lessons!!!
really you were a great help. Im guessing you are a pilot?
thanks for taking the time to do these tutorials!!! really, great help.
one question I have if you dont mind:
when wanting to follow a radial from a VOR, how do I know at what heading to fly (after overpassing it) to come back around to intercept it?
Thanks a lot
