- Today we discuss everything about VFR airspace. I have foreflight up so you can see a top down view but then we actually see on our altimeter where the different airspaces begin and end. There are a lot of specifics so I say AGL instead of MSL a couple times but just pretend that I am perfect...

Thank you! I do think it’s funny/cool that you found a way to use your a20s with the computer!
I’m kind of curious, what adapter do you need for this?
@@Zamboni-ms5iq Hey Zamboni! Thanks for the comment. I bought this adapter:

It took a while for shipping as it comes from New Zealand I think, but the quality is great. Other options require 9v batteries but this one works off PC power.

Also, I have a higher quality mic that would give me better fidelity, but I think this adds to the realism. This is exactly what I sound like when I'm teaching in a real aircraft!
Thank you, very much, for making explination easy for all us non pilots.
I took a few private lessons when I was younger but never really learned airspace rules and such. Flying a Cessna is easy; flying a Cessna LEGALY is a little harder. Fly safe. Oh and shout out to MSY, and all the planes that nearly hit my house growing up. Thanks for explaining all this!
Thank you for making these videos! My 15 y/o has about 10 hours of instruction, and this is very helpful for me trying to follow along with what he’s doing.
Cool!
Sadly I have to report at approximately 8:46 there was a white box truck traveling North in the South bound lanes, and 10-50’d into another box truck

lmao new haircut and three cups of coffee will make you a new man!
TRUTH
dont forget its a difference from europe and usa.. and so on.. :)
Yes, I've flown many hours in Europe. No offense, but they should take a lesson from the US where aviation was born. Europeans airspace is ridiculous and controllers and not helpful. Can't even go inadvertent IMC in an emergency. Very silly rules.
@@SnakPakFlight there are some better and worse rules, on each part of ours sides.. And its a huge difference from country to country in europe.
@@NorwegianDrone That is true. Poland was much more pleasant than Germany!
Now that I think about it, I flew in Czech Republic, France, and Netherlands as well. Really just Germany was dumb.
Btw, the commenter who picked apart the regs - wow. He or she doesn’t seem to understand the art of instructing someone.
Haha, yeah I think I have more time flying low-level below 500' than he has total time, but he sure sounds smart!
No, please read closely FAR Part 91.119 (C) 500 feet above except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases the aircraft must be operated 500 ft AWAY FROM any person, vessel, vehicle or structure. This makes no mention of altitude. I spent my life as an aerial photographer and a private pilot SEL Instrument and this is one of the most misquoted regs there are. Having said that 500 feet is pretty close as far as my need to photograph something. Staying at and above 500 ft will keep you out of regulation trouble. Please note that 91.119 (a) basically says if your aircraft fails, you must have been flying at an altitude from which an emergency landing can be made without risk to persons and property on the surface. Catch 22.
Do you know what happens when a helicopter fails (i.e. loses its engines)?
@@SnakPakFlight Most certainly. The safety of the crew and aircraft then depends on the speed, the altitude and the skill of the pilot. There are combinations of the aforementioned which are survivable and some which are not. In most cases if the helicopter is below 500 ‘ and in a hover when the engine fails, there will be much weeping soon thereafter. THe lower in altitude below that critical number the faster the craft must fly in order to quickly lower the nose and flatten the collective in order to hopefully achieve the state of autorotation with the further hopes of obstacle avoidance and a safe landing. As a Gyroplane pilot myself, I am well versed in autorotation. But we were not discussing safety but rather the legality of how low can you go. Being legal does not guarantee the safety of the craft nor those on the ground. Now what was your point?
Point is, much lower than 500, you don’t have time to establish an auto, so for all intents and purposes, 500 is as low as you should be at any given time. I could have gone into much more detail on this video, but it’s meant for beginner learners who are just starting. Already too long.
@@SnakPakFlight The point truly is if you are to hang your shingle out as a flight instructor or an authority, then do not misquote the regulations. The 500 ft minimum altitude rule does not apply in all airspace’s as was quoted in the video. It is simply not true. Again, there is a difference from being legal and safe. Is 500’ in a hover safe? Not really. There is little margin for variables. There is no debate there at all. The debate is knowing what the regulations are and comprehending what is written.
@@crawford323 Dude wtf are you talking bout "hang my shingle out?" I never quoted 91.119, you did. This video is about airspace. Any amateur can look up a regulation but conceptualizing airspace can be difficult for newcomers. I'm aware of what the FAR says, but as a general rule of thumb, you stay above 500' for simplicity's sake. This video is geared towards beginners. I'm sure there is a video of somebody reading 91.119 you can find that will be more enjoyable for you.
Being an instructor pilot is more than reciting regulation. When you do this job for a living as opposed to a hobby, there is more than just the FAR. If you'd like to learn why I make some of the decisions I make as an instructor, start here:

Otherwise, sounds like you just want everyone to know how clever you are.
