m0a.com In today video I'll share with you 3 items found on a basic VFR sectional chart that all pilots should know and understand what it means to them.
I’m from that area! That’s Bowling Green, OH on the Detroit Sectional! Very cool to have my favorite aviation channel using my area as an example! Also- it’s pronounced Find-Lee, not Find-LAY haha!
Hi, Jason. I've looked and cannot find any videos of the different types of MOAs. I'm not sure if it's the CZcams algorithm or if there are no videos on the subject, either case I would like/need to see a video on this subject. Thank you!
Is the pendant ALWAYS followed by the all CAPS black text? How about KBTV for an example. There are a few pendants around the Class C but they are followed by all caps and magenta underlined text. (B06- BASIN HARBOR) or all blue CAPS and underlined (WATERBURY TOWERS). Then there is CAMBRIDGE to the NE exactly how you described it. I'm guessing the all caps and underlined are the correct reporting locations w/pendant when I call in but I just wanted to double check. Thanks for the great videos!
Good info. I'm studying for my remote pilot certificate. Something funny: I live in Bowling Green! This video caught me off guard. "Wait...this is home!!!"
Jason...,. Preparing for my light sport written. When I’m flying cross country (no Vfr flight following) ...as long as I am 4000-10,000 msl do I have communicate with anyone excluding A, B or C airspace? Love your videos.
I just came across this video Jason. Bowling Green (BGSU) is where I went to school and flight training. How ironic is that? Thanks for highlighting the areas I trained.
I assume these rules and regulations apply to ultralight pilots as well? Im getting into hang gliding as of april ill be getting certified. I was curious as to how much of this would be beneficial to know as well as veing a faa regulated sport to an extent where does this meet with pilots of aircraft vs ultralight pilots?
Very cool. Thank you for the tips. I plan on becoming a pilot in the future. I am also very interested in hot and high airports, since any airport below 1000 MSL that has at least a 10,000 foot runway can accommodate anything from the smallest Cessna to the large widebody aircraft. But say the airport is 7200 MSL and has a 10,670 foot runway like Sana'a in Yemen for example, what does that mean for widebody aircraft like 777s and such?
Density altitude affect aircraft performance both from a lift standpoint and an engine efficiency standpoint. Density altitude is a function of the density of the air which itself is a function of actual altitude plus heat and water vapor. The higher density altitude the more runway needed for takeoff. Computing density altitude can be done an an E6B calculator. Remember, just being high does not mean high density altitude because the air can also be colder and that means denser air. You will tend to see shorter runways at sea level versus longer runways at high altitude, esp in the high desert where both the altitude and the air combine to make an even higher density altitude. For example...at Truckee airport near Lake Tahoe the airfield is at 5900 feet MSL. During the summer density altitude can reach 8 to 10k feet and that is a dangerous combination when trying to takeoff given the high mountains nearby.
The top of the group obstruction approximately 11 nautical miles from the Savannah VORTAC on the 340° radial is , how do I find a vortac on a sectional chart
Good video! However one clarification is in order I believe. The pilot controlled lighting is indicated by the "*" next to the letter "L", not the combination of both (which is what this video implies) . If an "L" is printed with no "*" it means the airport has runway lighting however that it is not pilot controlled such as at airports with a 24/7 tower.
I took it as * = PCL and L just means lit but I may just be remembering it from ground school eons ago (first solo was on a Pterodactyl). Good clarification
The * does not always imply pilot control lighting. It just implies that there is some limitation to the runway lighting. It could mean pilot controlled lighting, but it could also mean you need to do something else, such as making a phone call, to turn on the light.
this video came up in my YT search for magnetic variation, but nothing in this clip talks about it. i thought a magenta dotted line was for magnetic variation symbol, can you explain?
Wish I saw this video before my stage 2 checkride, literally was asked about the dashed magenta airspace... just found out its Class E at the surface. However, I wish you covered the solid gray line around an airport (Harrisburg, PA area)
Hi Anton, thanks for the feedback! The solid gray line is a TRSA. They are basically Class D airports with optional Class C services. If you need any further clarification please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com Fly safe! Thanks for watching!
Jason, can you help me with plotting, I feel like the videos do not have enough info or are broken down enough, What should I be looking for? Thanks, Joann
Sir, just happened by and caught this video, find job!! I have been wanting to ask you a question since I saw your video on landing techniques. If I remember correctly, aren't you the one that said that Transition is a better term (and mind set) than "Flare" when developing your landing skills?? I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with your teaching skills. I started flying many years ago and that word flare is a very prolific and profoundly used term. And that is one point in the landing operation that I think has really presented a problem in the mindset of many many students and their landings always seem to be a little challenging to them!! As you know, every flight has 2 slow flight episodes! (Takeoffs and landings)! By you teaching transition instead of flare during that last phase of the flight, I believe you're going to see a more rapid development of student confidence in their landings. The word flair has always bugged me. What was the title own that video? I've tried to find it since that day and cannot. Anyway I just wanted to take the time to congratulate you on your wonderful work and videos. Would appreciate a reply.GOD bless......... Cordially, Chuck🛫🛬
Hey Chuck! Thanks so much for your support! I'm happy this mindset was helpful for you. The video you're referring to is our secrets to perfect landings "slow flight down the runway". czcams.com/video/mTvV_31OtMI/video.html
@@MzeroAFlightTraining Jason, thank you sir for a very prompt reply. Looking forward to revisiting that video. I hope that one day I can spend a hour or two chatting with you. Right now I'm spending time in "four corners"' due to cancer surgery. I've got a few chapters done on a new manuscript that I'm working on. You gave me some renewed inspiration. Jason, you know from personal experience that we have a number of pilots that would be happy just to meet minimum standards. When you look at the GA accident reports, it's not hard to figure out that there is a deficit in the information transmitted during basic primary education. The two common slow flight conditions that I mentioned seems to be related to the bulk of the mishaps that go down to "Pilot Error".. too many pilots are not trained to listen to what their aircraft is telling them it's going to do. I think you see it clearly!! Kudos to you, Sir.... Cordially, Chuck🛫🛬
TRSA's I can not fine any on my sectional chart. I have a Jacksonville sectional, up to date, wondering if there are any to point out that may be hidden. Thank you for your enthusiasm!
Thank you for this info!!! what does the blue circle with the compass readings mean? Is it just to give the magnetic readings? Is there a reason why it's blue?
@@MzeroAFlightTraining Thank you so much!!! I watched your next video and you answered it!! Actually I woke up repeating the details of when I see it in Class Delta!😩😄
The Findlay airport marker is a maroon circle with maroon dot around it but other neighboring airports do not have the dots. What are the dots telling me?
The maroon hashmarks around KFDY indicate that there is class E airspace all the way to the surface. Hope that helps! If you have further airspace/VFR sectional questions, feel free to ask us at support@m0a.com!
Not Every Symbol is explained on the Legend of the Sectional Chart. There is a publication that the FAA puts out called the Aeronautical Chart Users Guide.
Hi Ren, thanks for watching! Those are the airport elevations and longest runway lengths respectively. Schaller has an elevation of 830 feet MSL and its longest runway is 2600 feet. Lutz has an elevation of 808 feet with its longest runway being 2200 feet. Even though it may only have one runway, the proper way to say it is "longest runway length". Airports with multiple runways have the longest one listed in that spot in the sectional chart. I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com if you need any further clarification!
Hi Nolan! Are you referring to the magenta dotted line? If so, that is just a label to point to the airport name because there was no room to put it right next to the airport like other ones on this chart such as Henry Co. If this doesn't answer your question or you need more help, please reach out to our incredible support team at support@mzeroa.com. They would be more than happy to help you! Thanks for tuning in.
More of a question than a comment: if the pilot is not familiar with the area and states he is over for example, BOWLING GREEN as you stated the controller not the pilot is supposed to know where the check point is. How does the pilot know he is in fact over that check point. If the pilot wrongly states he is over a particular checkpoint how will the controller really know where he is?
Actually, when you see OBJECTIONABLE on the sectional chart, it's usually at a private airport that potentially conflicts with its surrounding airspace.
I thought that the Bowling Green "Pendant" for the reporting point was for the OVAL RACE TRACK, not necessarily the town of Bowling Green. Am I in error? Calling "someone", I'd say: "Experimental N6395T over the "race track," adjacent Bowling Green." Right? Thanks, N-6395T
Michael Donavon No, just give them "Approach Experimental 95T over Bowling Green, level 3500, request VFR flight following to XYZ" for example. Short and simple. No reason to clutter the frequency with unnecessary information. I'd make that call within about 5 miles of the city and give a direction and estimated distance if more than, say, 10 miles out. The position report doesn't need to be exact at all. It basically just tells them generally where to expect your transponder to show up. I've had controllers get annoyed with too specific a position report. None of them have ever complained about a vague one.
If you look at the air port, and you see on its sides and below small cubes - it says they has fuel services, but you need to check at the A\FD \chart supplement to see what kind of fuel , hours of operation and frequency or phone number
" See NOTAMs/Suppement for Class "E" (sfc) effective hours" . At most airports the "Class "E" to ground" is not effective 24/7/365 and is only during operational hours or for scheduled traffic after hours. During those Off hours it Reverts back to "Class G" outside the magenta shaded area at 1200ft. AGL and inside at 700ft. AGL...
A second thought: You mentioned that the dashed Magenta line indicates that the surface is Class E airspace. Does that E airspace ALSO extend UP to 700 feet AGL? Not trying to be a smart a$$, just tryin' to learn. Thanks, N-6395T
No, I think your confused with the magenta line that fades away. When there is a dashed Magenta line is indicates that Class E airspace starts at the surface and ends at 17,999MSL. The faded magenta line indicates that the class E airspace starts at 700AGL, so for example if you airport elevation is 1,000MSL and you had a faded magenta line, Class E airspace would start at 1,700MSL because it is 700AGL. So the airspace between the Surface and 1,700 would be Class G airspace.
Michael Donavon Inside the dashed magenta line, class E airspace extends from the surface up to 17,999ft MSL. Outside the dashed magenta line inside a fuzzy magenta vignette, it's from 700ft AGL up to 17,999ft MSL. Inside a fuzzy blue vignette, it's 1,200ft AGL up to 17,999ft MSL. Everywhere else it's 14,500ft MSL up to 17,999ft MSL, or as indicated on the chart (in practice, it's from at least 1,200ft AGL in most of the US).
I'd be in your Commercial pilot ground course, but I'm hoping that by taking it at Hillsboro Aero Academy I'll be more known at their school and thus more likely a candidate for CFI when the opportunity arises.
If you are talking about Magenta Flags, these are Waypoints that pilots use when calling up ATC. When you tell them you are at "So and So" spot they then can identify easily identify you on their radar screens.
The VFR waypoint/checkpoint/reporting point flag is angled so it does not obscure information when it's place on the sectional. The five letter designation is not to be reported when talking to others it is an identifier placed into a flight plan. Also, these things are not related to any VOR but are GPS waypoints.
Im still learning and that didn't make any sense to me.. Class E air space separating from class E airspace..🤔 Like why do they need to separate the "Everywhere" echo airspace from the "Everywhere" echo airspace? Its like a meaningless line for nothing to me.. Its like having a class A airspace inside a class A airspace! Lol I need more explaining..

Dashed magenta. In IMC, No scud ruining. You must have IFR clearance or special VFR. You probably won't get the svfr.

Seriously. You don't know how to use a map by yourself?
What is a special airport traffic area?

The pilot and the controller are required to know exactly where the reporting point is.
Am I to understand that "OBJECTIONABLE" is the name of a restricted airport without an altitude or runway length??
Actually, when you see OBJECTIONABLE on the sectional chart, it's usually at a private airport that potentially conflicts with its surrounding airspace.

Chad Harrington that yellow means it’s a city
Good question - It represents a city!
Yoooooooo 1g0 represent
Thanks for watching!
What's up with the small red dots around the airport?
That means there's an NDB (non directional radio beacon) at Findlay.
How do you tell whether an airport has refueling or not?
If you look at the air port, and you see on its sides and below small cubes - it says they has fuel services, but you need to check at the A\FD \chart supplement to see what kind of fuel , hours of operation and frequency or phone number
The four little tabs around the airport circle. If the airport is big enough not to BE a circle, it will always have fuel.
fly with ryan airlines ....u will get ur answer.....(free advise my brother)
" See NOTAMs/Suppement for Class "E" (sfc) effective hours" . At most airports the "Class "E" to ground" is not effective 24/7/365 and is only during operational hours or for scheduled traffic after hours. During those Off hours it Reverts back to "Class G" outside the magenta shaded area at 1200ft. AGL and inside at 700ft. AGL...
should read "..is not IN effect during..."
A second thought: You mentioned that the dashed Magenta line indicates that the surface is Class E airspace. Does that E airspace ALSO extend UP to 700 feet AGL? Not trying to be a smart a$$, just tryin' to learn. Thanks, N-6395T
No, I think your confused with the magenta line that fades away. When there is a dashed Magenta line is indicates that Class E airspace starts at the surface and ends at 17,999MSL. The faded magenta line indicates that the class E airspace starts at 700AGL, so for example if you airport elevation is 1,000MSL and you had a faded magenta line, Class E airspace would start at 1,700MSL because it is 700AGL. So the airspace between the Surface and 1,700 would be Class G airspace.
Michael Donavon Inside the dashed magenta line, class E airspace extends from the surface up to 17,999ft MSL. Outside the dashed magenta line inside a fuzzy magenta vignette, it's from 700ft AGL up to 17,999ft MSL. Inside a fuzzy blue vignette, it's 1,200ft AGL up to 17,999ft MSL. Everywhere else it's 14,500ft MSL up to 17,999ft MSL, or as indicated on the chart (in practice, it's from at least 1,200ft AGL in most of the US).
Dilandau3000 Yes, I've since been "schooled" about these areas - however, your explanation is the best that I've read. Thanks for your help. N-6395T
Class E airspace is sometimes also underneath Class C, just to be exact. Then above the Class C it's E again up to the Class A at 18,000
vfr waypoints, what are they how are they used, history of, examples in a flight plan
I'd be in your Commercial pilot ground course, but I'm hoping that by taking it at Hillsboro Aero Academy I'll be more known at their school and thus more likely a candidate for CFI when the opportunity arises.
If you are talking about Magenta Flags, these are Waypoints that pilots use when calling up ATC. When you tell them you are at "So and So" spot they then can identify easily identify you on their radar screens.
@@MzeroAFlightTraining negative, not magenta flags, I mean the VPxxx? Non ATC VFR waypoints, the way points with ID's that aren't pronounceable.
I think it's VP.... It might be too other initial letters.
Why are the VFR Checkpoints angled in different ways?
The VFR waypoint/checkpoint/reporting point flag is angled so it does not obscure information when it's place on the sectional. The five letter designation is not to be reported when talking to others it is an identifier placed into a flight plan. Also, these things are not related to any VOR but are GPS waypoints.

Objectionable?
Good info...hate to be picky, but that's a "pennant", not a "pendant".
Also, this (*) is an asterisk, not an asteriks. :)
Read back correct.

When you fly your desktop sim, make sure you fly it from the right seat. Especially when flying solo.
Im still learning and that didn't make any sense to me.. Class E air space separating from class E airspace..🤔 Like why do they need to separate the "Everywhere" echo airspace from the "Everywhere" echo airspace? Its like a meaningless line for nothing to me.. Its like having a class A airspace inside a class A airspace! Lol I need more explaining..
