What you'll learn

  • Heading, Track, Drift, Wind Correction Angle, Wind Vector, TAS and Ground Speed Calculations (Wind Side)
  • Airspeed and Altitude Calculations
  • Cross-country Flight Planning
  • Converting Units
  • Basic Arithmetic
  • Speed and Fuel Flow Calculations
  • Scientific Calculator Tips and Tricks
  • Converting between different 'Norths'

Course content

7 sections • 38 lectures • 1h 55m total length

  • Introduction4:08
  • Multiplication1:21
  • Multiplication
  • Division0:55
  • Division
  • Decimal and Hours, Minutes and Seconds Introduction2:05

    Why am I showing you this? Well because in your exams you may be given a speed, distance and time problem which would give you a decimal number that you may have to convert to hours, minutes and seconds!

    This can be done by just multiplying or dividing by 60, however understanding this DMS button is required for ATPL exams and would help with PPL exams.

  • Decimal and Hours, Minutes and Seconds Conversions3:34
  • DMS Button
  • The Speed and Fuel Flow Formulae0:52
  • Helpful Tips for Speed and Endurance Calculations1:46
  • Calculating Speed from Distance and Time0:50
  • Calculating Speed and Fuel Flow
  • Calculating Endurance from Fuel burnt and Fuel flow1:45

    Here, you will be able to calculate Times/Endurances which are greater than an hour.

    After watching this video, do not assume that all the divisions in this hour scale are the same, between 6 and 7 the divisions each represent 10 minutes as discussed in the video. However between 1 and 1:10 (yes imagine the decimal dot is actually a colon) the division is halfway and represents 5 minutes.

  • Calculating Fuel burnt from Endurance and Fuel flow0:41
  • Calculating Distance from Speed and Time0:54
  • Flowchart for Speed and Fuel Problems0:02
  • Calculating Distance/Fuel and Time/Endurance

Requirements

  • You will need a CRP-5 flight computer
  • A scientific calculator would be helpful

Description

This is an all-in-one course that covers all the Flight computer related content within the PPL->ATPL exams. This includes the following subjects:

  1. General Navigation(CPL/ATPL)/Navigation(PPL)

  2. Flight Planning and Performance

  3. Mass and Balance

  4. Meteorology

  5. Performance

  6. Principles of Flight

  7. Aircraft General Knowledge

Here you will find real exam questions which have shown in EASA ATPL exams, along with topic specific flowcharts that can solve any PPL->ATPL exam question.

You will gain access to 1080p video walkthroughs of typical exam questions taught from the ground up. You will learn how to use both sides, the wind slide and also will be shown helpful tips on how to use your scientific calculator!

We will go through:

  1. Basic Arithmetic

    • Multiplication

    • Division

  2. Speed and Fuel Flow Calculations

    • The formulae

    • Helpful tips

  3. Scientific Calculator

    • Decimal to Hours: Minutes: Seconds conversions

  4. Converting Units

    • Approximate conversions to remember

    • Temperature

    • Distance

    • Time

    • Speed/Fuel Flow

    • Mass

    • Volume

    • Specific Gravity

  5. Airspeed and Altitude Calculations

    • TAS above and below 300kts

    • IAS, CAS

    • Mach Number

    • Ram Rise

    • True Altitude

    • Density Altitude

  6. Converting between different 'Norths'

    • True North

    • Magnetic North

    • Compass North

  7. Wind Side

    • Heading, Track, Drift, Wind Correction Angle, Wind Vector, TAS, Ground Speed

    • Triangle of Velocities

    • Iteration

    • Head Wind/Tail Wind

    • Crosswind components

  8. Cross-country Flight Planning

    • Filling out a Flight Plan

    • VFR Planning techniques

    • Fuel Planning

    • Interpolating the Wind from the given Weather

    • Standard Operating Procedures

    • Inflight Time and Fuel logging

There will be attached resources that will explain concepts needed to understand the flight computer, these include: The Speed and Fuel Flow Formulae and converting between different units; The required understanding of the Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter as well as different pressures, airspeeds and altitudes involved with them.

This course is suitable for both the 2016 and 2020 syllabus.
